About: I love animals and animals have been apart of my life since the day I was born. I am very trusting and loving person. I have been dog sitting and walking for a couple years now. I have dogs of my own so I’m always taking care of them and walking them everyday, even going on hikes. I have always taken care of animals my whole life. I have a big backyard so I’m always trying to run them. Every summer we always go on hikes with them as well. They love it.

Kelli did a great job caring for our cats! They are happy and well fed. We got lots of pictures and updates. She was also considerate about the time difference of where we were when contacting us.

About: I grew up taking care of pets at home, and even the neighbors! That includes dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, chinchillas, fish, hamsters, all different types! I’m currently an online student so I have a very flexible schedule! I was recommended to rover through a friend and I thought it would be perfect for my schedule especially for people who need a last minute sitter/ walker! I love going on walks and will be happy to take your pet for a long walk if wanted! I also like to spend lots of play time with pets.

About: I worked as a professional pedestrian when I travelled on foot across America performing comedy along the way. It was the first time I got a lot of experience staying with families with all different pets. In my years I’ve seen it all so I’m not phased by anything. Quick to adapt to different situations and comfortable with all manners of dogs. I’ve trained puppies and I’ve seen dogs mature. They all require their own respect and attention that I’m happy to give. I work remotely for one job and on the go for another. My schedule is as flexible as I need it to be. Most likely I will be visiting or walking pets in the morning or mid-afternoon but I can make any arrangement work. I’ve stayed at a number of friends houses caring for their pets from an overnight to a week. I am drug and alcohol free so you don’t need to worry. I’m quiet and clean and have stuck by the principal of leave a place better than you found it.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved caring for animals. I have experience with dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, so I am comfortable helping with different routines and needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of being attentive. I’m happy to follow specific instructions, keep pets on their normal schedule, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I currently have open availability and can be flexible with scheduling for walks and drop-in visits. I’ll be happy to work with you and your pet’s routine! For walks and drop-in visits, safety is a top priority. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, or any other special care needs. During walks, I make sure to keep pets secure and comfortable.

About: My love for animals of all kinds began in 6th grade and has only become more expansive as I have continued to care for the pets of my friends and neighbors. My senior dog is almost 18 years young so I am well versed in going above and beyond! As an educator my timing is flexible, especially for summer! I am looking to help families as another Rover.com pet sitter helped us with our senior dog. I will work with your dog's needs so that you are comfortable leaving and know that I am dedicated to keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have a lot of experience with keeping dogs who miss their families happy! As someone who teaches tiny humans I have a lot of experience in building trust. I know that some dogs have anxiety and I look to you in learning your dog's preferences and individual needs!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

Took good care of my baby boy while I had to be away, and he was immediately very comfortable with them, which made me feel good and less anxious about having to leave him home. I’ll definitely use Jenni’s services again in the future.

Bronwen was absolutely wonderful! She took notes on her initial visit, was prompt with all communications, and sent pictures daily so that we could see how our cats were doing. And they did great under Bronwen’s care. We hope to hire her again the next time we travel.

Nancy has been amazing with my dogs!!! You can tell she is a true animal lover, because she cares about the details. She made last minute arrangements for us to meet and greet and adjustments to a few of our schedule stays, so she is also very willing to be as flexible as her schedule/life allows. Nancy sends photos and videos of my nuggets every stay. She has even checked in to see how my dog was doing with no upcoming/pending visit, so I know they are in genuinely loving hands under her care.
