“Ken has walked our dog Nova since she was a puppy and does an excellent job! He communicates with me very well and I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a sitter or dog walker!”


“Tara is amazing!!! Took excellent care of our big dog while we were on a week long trip with multiple walks throughout the day. She is great with animals and really cares! So glad we found her.”


About: I have never been without a pet or multiple pets, mostly cats and dogs. I believe Pets are family members. I have cared for pets ages birth to 17 years old since childhood. I have two dogs of my own and one granddog I work from my phone/computer full-time scheduling clients. I am able to care for Pets in my home or yours around the clock. I also have the freedom to come and go as needed for pet walking and/or potty breaks. I live in a safe neighborhood with a decent sized yard. I never let Pets go out without being on a leash or tie out. I have a small, older Westie and a 2 year old mini golden doodle that love other animals.

About: Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf!

About: I have over 25 years of pet care experience and am looking forward to providing the best care to your furry family member(s)! I currently have a special needs dog and am enjoy caring for senior pets. I am very patient, dependable, and trustworthy - so whether it’s a quick check in, a nice long walk, or an extended stay, your pups/kitties will be in good hands while you are away. Thanks for reading and please reach out any time! I have a very flexible schedule, as I am self employed. I will do my absolute best to meet your scheduling needs, both during the week and on the weekends. I will follow all instruction in your home exactly as given and will be respectful of your space. Your pet(s) will be top priority and will be given the absolute best care!

About: I am currently a part time Massage Therapist, but during school, my full time job was at a dog daycare in Scottsdale, so I got to work with dogs on a regular basis! Nowadays, I take my little sidekick Beetlejuice with me almost everywhere. I firmly believe that our pets always improve our quality of life. They've most definitely always improved mine. After growing up on a farm full of animals, homes without furry companions seem to be lacking something to me. I think everyone should be able to have pet-friend, (or a few of them!) and shouldn't need to worry about needing a little extra help with giving them the best care possible. I have lots of availability to help out with walks, feeding, or just a hearty belly rub, if that's what you need! I am also comfortable with medically fragile pets, as I have personal experience with them. My sweet dog Majik, who I sadly a couple years ago, had Addison's disease. So, I have no problem giving any medications, if need be. I have quite the soft spot for the older pooches, also! I'm currently in an online class and only work occasionally, so I have a lot of free time to devote to your pets. I love to go on drives and hikes around the area, and I'm always happy to have another sidekick! I have a fenced yard and a big comfy couch. Beetlejuice, my dog, is obsessed with toys, so we have a ton of those as well. Bernie isn't much of a player, but he is a masterful napper.
“My girls enjoyed their long walk and play time at the park with Megan, she took great care of them!”


“Samantha was very accommodating! She was very easy to contact and extremely kind! I will be booking again!”


“Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!”


About: Ive had animals since I was a little girl (around 7/8) and I’m now in my late twenties! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs: old and puppies, those on medications and those that are not. I work with my own dogs and friends dogs to teach them new tricks and I take them for walks when the weather permits. I do overnight watches for a friend when they’re out of town for long periods of time. I’ve also worked at a vets office for 1-2yrs as the receptionist and occasional 2nd hand in the back to help the techs/assistants/doctors if necessary. I do work full time but no worries! Your pet will still get their proper care before I head in for the day/night and as well as after work! They’ll still get their loves, breakfast/dinner, playtime and walk time. Majority of the time I do have two set days off in a row during the weekdays but I work a job where that can change based on the demand. When I’m at my clients home, I will respect their home like it was my own. I will respect their animals like they were my own as well. If there are set rules in place how the owner wishes for their animal to be cared for, you have no worries there, I will follow them to a T. I want your pets to feel loved and at ease, like I am their friend they’ve known for years, and to do that I will do my best in providing them all the attention and care they need. :)

About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.

About: Hello and thank you for showing interest in my Rover profile! I am Shannon and I have decided to settle down in Bristol after spending a few years pursuing my passion of travel. I traveled full time in my RV and had some wonderful experiences caring for animals while on the road! After the loss of my beloved German Shepherd a few years ago, I had an abundance of time and love to give to other furry friends. I decided to join Rover and it has been wonderful. I work from home, so your animal/s will have access to me throughout the day! I am very experienced with taking care of all different types, sizes, and ages of animals. I provide plenty of playtime and walks as needed for your pet! I also have experience providing medications and assisting animals with mobility difficulties. I am happy to help your pet up and down stairs, or in and out of vehicles. I have done everything from helping 4-week old puppies nurse with their mother to giving a 16-year old cat IV fluids to keep him hydrated. I work online so my schedule is very flexible. I also specialize in drop-ins and walks during the day! I love to be outside hiking and walking so your fur baby(ies) will always have plenty of exercise and one-on-one time (something you rarely get from a doggy boarding place). I am excited to meet both you and the furry members of your family and hope we can connect soon! -Shannon I am self-employed so I am able to adjust and adapt my schedule according to the needs of you and your fur babies. I am happy to work with you to ensure the needs of your pet/s are met and their normal schedules are maintained. I take great pride in creating and maintaining a safe environment for your furry friends. I treat them as I would my own. I also ensure your home is well cared for!

About: If you allow me to be apart of your animals life, I promise you will not regret it. I know how these fur babies can worry us when we are not with them. My goal is to ensure my clients parents that they are in the best hands possible. I will do whatever is necessary for you and your fur babies to be safe and comfortable. I hope to hear from you soon and be your favorite reliable sitter from now on! I work from home, so will be around 24/7. We have a fenced in yard! And your pet will never be lonely, we are always around for some cuddles and play time! I work from home so have ample time for an extra fur baby! I am here to give you peace of mind while you are away! I have a fenced in yard, and dogs of my own to keep yours company. I will send you many updates and pictures throughout their stay!

About: With the proper instructions, I can and will do anything to give your pet the care he/she needs. I have no problem administering medications of any kind. My wife and I have a yard with sections fenced and not fenced, so I can take dogs out on a leash to relieve themselves, or let them out to run and play. There is also a picnic area near my house with a paved walking trail for walks. I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. Growing up we mainly had large dogs, but I have also cared for small and medium dogs through family. I am comfortable caring for any size dog with any set of needs! I am currently a stay-at-home husband, so I am home all day, every day. My wife works during the day and is home in the evenings and on weekends. Whatever I do during the day will revolve around the care i am currently giving. My wife and I have a home with a fenced backyard. We also have parts of the yard that aren't fenced. We have about 1.5 acres, so I can walk your pet around the yard on a leash or let him/her roam around the fenced in area. I can play with your pet however he/she likes. We can also go to the paved walking path about 5 minutes away. We have 2 medium sized herding dogs that love to play with other dogs. If your dog isn't able or doesnt want to play, no problem! They have experience with small, large, young, and elderly dogs and know how to interact with any needs and temperament. We also have 2 cats that may sniff your dog, but will otherwise do their own things. They have also interacted with different types of dogs and know what to do. Both of our families also love animals so if anyone comes by, it'll just be more love for the fur babies! There is also a veterinarian about 15 minutes away just in case. We are super flexible. I am a stay at home dad and my wife will be working from home in October. We can be accommodating to your needs! We have a fenced in yard which includes a deck and quite a bit of running space. Our dogs love to run up and down the hill, but also like to sun bathe on the porch.

About: I use my experience as an RN to better care for dogs and cats. I have great assessment skills that help me understand your pets better. I have years of experience caring for geriatric people and animals. I have developed an empathy for pets and pet parents that only comes from years of working to provide the best possible care I can. Whatever your pet needs, from feeding to end of life care, I would be honored to have that responsibility. I am available any day of the week. I do have other obligations occasionally. The sooner you call, the better I will be able to accomodate you and your pet. When we decide that I will care for your pet, I prefer to meet both (or all) of you in your home so that we can discuss your pets needs. I like to spend some time getting to know all involved better, At that time you can show me whatever I might need to know. I look forward to meeting you!

“Idalou is so happy and tired! Aspen was great to communicate with and great with Idalou.”


About: Hi There! My name is Bethany. I love all animals and have one beautiful dog, Mr. Bojangles and four cats that think they are dogs! I have a fenced in yard and work remotely. I work remotely and my work schedule is very flexible. My office looks out into the fenced back yard so I can easily keep an eye on any visiting furry friends all day long. We go on daily walks and let the dogs roam around the fenced in yard. They can come inside through a dog door and are allowed on the couch and beds for snuggles.

About: I’ve taken care of/had animals since I was a kid which includes dogs, cats, goats and chickens. I have my own energetic, sweet 2 year old Aussiedoodle who I treat just like a family member! I am currently a medical student so most of my availability is after 5pm and weekends. I do have some weeks off, of which, I’m available all day! Having my own dog who loves tons of walks a day, I know how important it is to make your dog feel comfortable and confident in their walker. This is also the best way to keep your pet safe. I genuinely care for every animal as I would my own because I know our animals are our babies.

“All I can say is excellent. At a time when I desperately needed help she went above and beyond what was required, making my life and the dogs life so much easier! She walked the puppies for a long time and I could tell they absolutely adored every second.”


About: I grew up in a house full of animals my entire life. I have helped watch my families pets for as long as I can remember. I have watched Dogs from all ages puppies to seniors. I work as a server Wednesday-Sunday nights. I would be able to do Check ins any morning I was needed to because I don't usually work until 4 or 5. I have a spare bedroom in my house that could be used for boarding purposes if needed but would also be open to letting them sleep on the couch or bed. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a decent sized back yard and I live across the street from a walking trail. I do have one pet cat, she is almost a year old and has been around multiple cats and dogs with no problem and would be excited to have a play mate.

She took Tyson outside both these times as well and even came by at 2:00 pm to take Tyson on a walk. She changed toesys litter box and gave both animals love and attention while I was away. I 100% recommend her because she is an animal lover herself and is a very responsible young lady. I will be asking her to watch my Toesy and Tyson the next time I go out of town.”
