About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!

Easily the best sitter I've had from this app. She communicates well, goes above and beyond, sends so many photos, and is a lovely human. I've booked with three pet sitters in total on Rover and she shines above the rest. I can tell she genuinely enjoys this job and cares about my pets well-being. I'm usually so anxious leaving my cats for long periods of time, but not at all with Maegan. I don't think words can properly express how wonderful she is!

Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, snakes, and hamsters since I was little. I have participated and placed in dog shows in 4H. I would prefer work in the summer only, but am open to more work throughout the year if needed. I am a teacher, so I have the most availability in the summer. I am available most of the day Monday through Friday and occasional weekends during the summer. I am available during the school year after 4 PM during the week. I am home with my dog full time throughout the summer. He is a large dog, part lab and part coonhound. We have 2 acres and an underground fence, so he has lots of space to roam. I also have an outdoor cat. She has her own cat house and is very friendly. I take time to cuddle with her every day. I have also taken care of small dogs and snakes and hamsters in the past.

About: It doesn’t matter the size or breed of dog, I love them all. They bring me pure happiness. I have helped let out dogs for multiple friends in the past whenever needed. & I also take my dog on walks 4/5 times a week! I currently work full time but have a very flexible email schedule and work 8-5. I have an hour lunch and am free before or after work! Like I have stated. I love dogs. Any dog brings me happiness so I will care for them like they are my own. I also went through school training with my dog for the basics so I am familiar with that.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Absolutely love them and am often entrusted with friends and family’s dogs. I am a Registered Nurse and would love to care for your beloved pet! Every day I take our dog, Joe, for a 3 mile walk. He had a good amount of energy so we are always out and about playing or walking with him. Cuddles and treats are always welcome in our home. Joe is great with other dogs and plays well with all sizes. I am someone who will love your pet like they’re my own. I love taking dogs for walks and playing. Happy to work with a schedule or routines that may not be what we do. Very open as far as communication and will send pictures of your pet!

About: I have a Doberman at home that I trained myself, and I’ve worked with cattle/pigs, so your big dog won’t scare me! I grew up with dogs and have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember, so your pup is in good hands 😊 I work early mornings, so I am available almost every middle of day & afternoon with more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I spend at least an hour at home everyday training my own dog & playing an insane amount of fetch! I am very observant of animal behavior & will mirror your pets energy level so that they feel comfortable around me. I am very protective of my own dog & will treat yours the same while in my care.

Allie is a great dog owner. Herky is very well trained and Allie is always making sure Herky goes out to go potty and is fed at a consistent time each day. Lately she’s been getting up early to take herky on walks before I gets too hot out for him. Not only does she do a great job at caring for herky but she truly loves dogs and would do anything for them.

Kearstin is not only an all around amazing human being, but she’s a girl who loves all animals, especially dogs. She is a phenomenal dog mama to her fur baby Joe who her and her husband rescued. The patience she has with him and the connection she has made with him is truly inspiring. I have seen first hand how gentle, nurturing, loving, and responsible she is with her own, and other dogs. I would absolutely trust her with my own fur babies Lilly and Beau.
