About: I’ve had furry family members since the age of 12. Family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk and care for their pets for years. Having had both dogs and cats for many years in the past, I have plenty of hands on experience with both. Experience includes caring for elderly cats and dogs, as well as administering medications. I am a full time remote employee and have a flexible schedule. I am available to care for your furry loved one every day of the week. I can feed, walk, crate or play with your dog. I am also available to care for cats. This includes feeding and scooping/changing cat litter.

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.

Jenna was consistent in her stops to care for our cats, went above and beyond in making time to play with them and be present in our absence, and showed an immense amount of love for them although only being with them for a week. Beyond that, our traditionally shy cat immediately took to her and trusted her in a much shorter amount of time than seen otherwise with previous guests. Jenna's statuses were always detailed and there were PLENTY of pictures for us to comb through after every visit. Choose Jenna to care for your pets - You won't regret it!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: I have always loved animals and have years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I’m also comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I pay close attention to routines and instructions so your dog’s schedule stays as normal as possible. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they’re my own. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is in great hands. I am a college student at the University of Delaware with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs regular walks, check-ins, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In a client’s home, I carefully follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, playtime, or medications so your pet can stay on their normal routine. I’m very attentive to a pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they are always supervised and in a secure environment. I also make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully to keep pets safe during walks and outdoor time. I respect both your home and your pet, and I always aim to make the experience stress-free for everyone. I also LOVE to send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away!

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. My dog recently passed away so your pet will be there only one in my home. Friends and neighbors have relied on me for pet care, walking and sitting. I can’t wait to give attention and belly rubs to your treasured pet! I have a flexible schedule to accommodate all of your needs. I am available for walks, drop ins, doggie daycare at my home, and pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard. I live in a nice neighborhood with a park for easy and safe walks. Dogs are allowed on the couch, but not the bed. Your dog will enjoy 1-2 walks each day, depending on energy levels, as well as time with me outside out inside snuggling. If you prefer I stay in your home with your dog, I can arrange that as well.

Kiley was amazing with our Golden Retriever Hallie! We went on vacation to Punta Cana for a week and while my parents were at work, Kiley drove from UD to let out Hallie. She played with her each time and judging by the pictures Hallie looked so happy!! She even offered to put in Hallie’s eyedrops for us (the day we left Hallie had some eye irritation). Thanks again for coming in the clutch, Kiley! Highly recommend. Will definitely use again in the near future.

Sharesse was very good with our hyper goldendoodle. She was very patient and knew exactly how to handle him to keep him relaxed. She was on time and also did the small things we asked. However, she didnt check in and check out from the app like other Rover sitters, but our ring cams gave us notification. Not a big deal, and she forgot to lock the patio door but did use the safety stick, so noone could get in. Otherwise she was great and we would use her services again!!

Violeta has been absolutely amazing with my toy poodle, Bentley. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about him. As someone who works long hours, having someone I trust completely with my little guy means everything. Violeta always keeps me updated, makes time for Bentley, and treats him with so much love and attention. It’s clear that she truly enjoys what she does, and Bentley is always happy to see her. Knowing he’s in such caring hands gives me tremendous peace of mind while I’m at work. I honestly couldn’t do this without her, and I’m so grateful for everything she does for Bentley. I highly recommend Violeta to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy person to care for their pet! 🐾❤️
