About: I am a stay at home mom to a teen. My older children are adults and have moved out. I do own a rental business that is almost self sufficient. So I have a lot of free time. I worked at Petsmart in the grooming salon years ago. It was probably my favoritest job, I've ever had. I had many request clients that I loved! Only reason I quit was because I needed to move to be closer to family, and there isn't a local Petsmart in Harrisburg, otherwise I would've transfered. I have had animals all of my life, from cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and guinea pigs. We currently have 3 dogs (Mastiff 10, Shih tzu 12, Pug 3 Y.O.) and 6 indoor only cats. I am familiar with puppy and senior care. Two years ago our 15 year old Labrador had a stroke. She lost the use of her back legs and I cared for her the months after. I love animals and never considered pet sitting, until I had a family friend pet sit for me. It was a nightmare. I thought no one should have to go through that. I ended our vacation just after two days. I have had many pet sitters because we had always vacationed 6-8 times a year. I know the things that disappointed me. I believe I'd make an incredible pet sitter. Plus I love animals! Big or small it doesn't matter. And yes, I'm really vegan for the animals. I have open availability since I'm married, my husband works from home and I own a rental business that is almost self sufficient. My only child at home is a teen now and so he doesn't need me at home as much. Since my husband is home and helps out with my home's care, that leaves me open for my own ventures. I'll be the only Rover care person from our household. I have a large house with a large fenced in yard. My animals are very friendly and have been well socialized. I would prefer to care for client's pets in the client's home but could care for client's pets in mine.

About: My names Megan, I’ve been a vet tech for 4+ years and have a bachelors in animal science. I also have 4 dogs of my own. I work full time (8am-5pm) as a vet tech, & have a 5 year old daughter. But I’m able to work around and take care of your pups! With my experience of animals, I’m able to walk, feed, play with, and administer medicine to your fur baby. Preferably in the fur babies home so they don’t feel uncomfortable or scared.
About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work from home, so rather than keeping a strict schedule, I usually follow my dogs’ lead. They generally let me know when they need to go outside/come inside, eat, play, etc. We do at least two feedings a day. Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Right now I have big, friendly dogs, but before them I had a grumpy old Yorkie with epilepsy/special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

Kalen R.
“I believe Kalen Roberts would be a good choice for he is reliable, focused and good hearted. I have come to know him pretty well over the last 4 yrs. I met him through a previous job I had, he was a coworker. He was dependable, ambitious, polite, helpful, respectful and there's so much more to this individual. I think it is great that he is trying to do extra things such as dog sitting to bring more money home for supporting his family. In this world today people are trying to do many things to make money both legal and illegal, scamming etc. But Kalen is known by many to be outgoing and trustworthy, just an all around great guy! I really hope someone will give him a chance at this opportunity and get to know him the same as I have and many other. I can honestly say I'm so honored that I got to know him.”
