During the summer I am available before 12pm most days and can be available between 12pm and 3pm some days (Varies based on my partners work schedule).

“Veronica was great with my puppy Maya. She treated her like she was her own and kept me updated with pictures and notes. I felt very comfortable being away when Veronica was there and I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have cared for my family dogs on numerous occasions. I have also been a go to pet sitter for people around me. I baby sit and have worked as a mentor helping people around me. I would be able to care for pets at any point in the week. The schedule is the only thing I need and would be able to care for pets at any time. I care and typically ask for schedules for the specific animal. I also keep in touch with owners on a day to day basis and give updates about their pets and how they are doing.
About: I am a pet-loving owner of a friendly chocolate lab puppy. When I was younger, I would care for my neighbors’ pets for them overnight whenever they went in vacation. I’m currently full-time, but I’m always looking to make extra money on the side whenever I can. I can see myself Rovering for people each day after work. I am not offering services in my own home, but as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am trusted by the people around me in my life as far as safety goes. In the past, my neighbors would give me access to their security system to ensure their pets’ safety. I am also extremely loving of any dog I come across.
About: Having a small tiny dog(chihuahua) of my own, I've learned to be creative with the activities that we do as well as find different places to take her for walks. My dog is very temperamental, so I've had to increase my own training skills to be able to be a better pet mom. I'm open to trying new things and I'm great at following instructions. I am extremely dependable and I pride myself on always being on time and communicating when things don't go as planned. I love all dogs and will take care of yours as if its my own. My specific availability is Monday thru Friday 6 AM-8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I have open availability on the weekends which is where I hope to do the most work. I work from home two days a week (Monday and Tuesday)and am off on weekends so I have plenty of time to fit in long weekend boardings. I have a fenced in yard which makes it easy to carve out play time or potty breaks. My neighborhood is extremely dog friendly and there is a dog park within walking distance.
“Michael is the best! Our dog loves him and is always very happy when we come home. Michael helped us out in a pinch when we needed someone to drop in on our dog last minute. He’s quick to respond and very responsible. I’d recommend him to anyone. 10/10”

I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet pets! 🐾 I currently work for the school district transporting special needs children which gives me more free time during the day and summers. I also work part-time as a vet tech for an animal rescue. Before caring for your pet, I love learning as much as possible about them so I can give them the best, most personalized care! Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, energy level, and any little quirks that make them unique. It’s also very important that I’m aware of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, past injuries, or behavioral concerns (like anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies). As a vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring health concerns — I just like to be fully prepared ahead of time.

Bristol dog parents share their Rover experiences
We asked Troy and Shalah last minute (within a few hours, same day!) to check in on our pup as our travel plans were delayed. They responded immediately and were able to accommodate. They also updated us on some allergies we’ve been trying to track for our pup, so we were aware. Appreciate it!

Daniel did ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! He was so attentive & kept me updated throughout the week. I was so worried as this was the first time I’ve left my dogs for more than a night and he made me feel totally at ease. My dogs also adored him. Would definitely rebook!!

Suzie was amazing! Great communication while booking and during visits. I had a cancellation last minute and she stepped in and made this whole process so easy asking all the right questions to make sure she cared for my pup the same way I would. Highly recommend 10/10
