About: I am a very active person. I love any excuse to run or walk outside, having an animal with me is a huge bonus. My roommate is allergic to dogs, so for now this will be the way to fill the void of not having a pet of my own. Therefore, I promise I will love your pet as if they were mine. Among some turtles and a frog or two, I grew up with three golden retrievers, and I was always the go-to person to watch any of my friend's/coworker's dogs and cats if they were away, ranging from just a couple days to two to three weeks at a time. I am very hardworking, trustworthy, kind, and I absolutely love any and all animals. I went from working in an office to now being remote, so I feel like I have ample time everyday and am always looking for a reason to get outside. My apartment building has a space outside for dogs to mingle and play. Otherwise, there is a park close by me that we can walk to.
“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for both cats and dogs. Since I was a kid, animals have brought me joy, comfort, and a true sense of peace. I find happiness in being surrounded by nature and spending time with pets—it's not just relaxing, it's meaningful to me. I'm currently a college student, and in my free time, I love dedicating myself to helping others by offering reliable, caring pet sitting and dog walking services. Whether it’s a quick walk or keeping your pet company while you're away, I’m here to treat your furry family members like my own. I am a part time college student. I want to spend my free time taking care of your furry friend. What better way to spend a summer, than with our furry friends. I find joy and peace being in around animals and in nature, I will walk and bike trails but I find it more even more enjoyable when you have a furry companion with you :) I like to be very considerate and careful when in your home. I will treat it the way I would like my home to be treated. I would respect your home and your boundaries and I will care for your doggie or cat as if they were my own.
About: My family and I had a dog named Honey who we loved dearly, but sadly lost in a house fire around two years ago. I love dogs, and I really miss having one around. I thought Rover would be a great way to care for dogs and make some money on the side! I have experience as an emotional support assistant for students with mental disabilities, a role that demands great patience and understanding. I study Mechanical Engineering Asynchronously, and I work as a barista part-time. When I’m not working I’m usually studying, so I thought why not pack up my work and petsit while I study! My academic and professional lives require great attention to detail, so any sets of specific rules/schedules for any pet(s) under my care will be followed diligently!
About: I am very patient with animals getting to know me and understand that not all cats will come out. I have practice with older cats and kittens. I used to have a dog of my own, and play with all of my friends dogs! I am usually availble early weekday mornings before work, and weekday nights after work. I am also available most weekends as long as I know in advance. I want to make sure the pets are comfortable and cared for when their humans aren't around. Fill food and water, scooping litter, playing (if they care for that), sitting around and patiently wait for them to approach me, basically make sure that the pets get what they need!
“Julia was amazing with Charlie at the drop-in visit. My dog is timid and suffers from anxiety, Julie was patient with Charlie, allowing him to come around to her in his time. Charlie also made a mess in his crate chewing his mattress to pieces and Julia was kind enough to help pick up the mess for me. Thank you!!”
“Jen is the BEST! She is thorough, detailed and cares 1000% about making sure your pet is being taken care of properly! I feel so comfortable knowing she’s giving my cat some serious TLC when I’m gone. Thank you Jen!!”
