“Jenna was very responsive, on time and took lots of pics of our baby! It was her first visit with Axl and he seemed to be very comfortable with her enough to curl up on the couch to take a nap while she was there. Very happy with her visit!”

“Alia did a great job with Louie. He is almost 18 years old so he is a bit complicated to care for. She sent pictures and we could tell he was doing well.”


4. Samantha M.
“Sam has taken care of my pets several times while I’ve been away on vacation and always provides the best care! She sends picture updates regularly and follows any instructions we leave her to the tee. She does an excellent job of communicating with us, and our dogs are always so happy to see her! I appreciate Sam’s level of care so much, and it gives me such peace of mind to know my animals are in the best hands.”

15. Abby M.
About: I have a dog of my own he is a 2-year-old 105lb golden retriever named Finn. I also have done dog walks for family and friends. As well as feed them or be their pets buddy for a little bit while they're away. I do have another part-time job but asides from that I'm pretty free! I would be willing to do dog walks in the morning, afternoon, or early evening. I take my dog on walks every day. I also feed him, bathe him and play with him. He's an energetic dog so we must do a lot of play time! I live in an area with many houses but not on a main road so the pet's safety will be excellent!

About: I spent some time working at Camp Bow Wow, a doggie daycare, before joining Rover back in 2022. For years, I’ve also enjoyed pet sitting for family and friends. I’m certified in pet first aid through the Animal Behavior College, and I’ve completed various courses on animal behavior and communication. Right now, I’m working on my dog obedience training certification, too. I can’t wait to meet and play with your fur babies! I currently work full time as a substitute teacher during the week. Depending on my work schedule, I can sometimes do drop-in and walking services earlier on weekdays. But for the most part, I can offer those after 4:30 on weekdays, anytime on Saturdays, and after 1pm on Sundays. I can offer my house-sitting services anytime as long as your pup can go up to 8 hours without a bathroom break during the week while I'm at work. For drop-in visits and house-sitting services, please leave any instructions/notes I may need to know not just about their care, but also about your pets typical behavior. For walks, rest assured, I’m certified in pet first aid should any accidents happen, but I’m also very aware of my surroundings at all times and will do all I can to prevent any accidents from occurring in the first place.

About: I grew up with dogs..German Shepards, Labs, Poodles, Shi Tzu. Over the years I, and now my sons, have been dog sitters for friends for years. Recently our family has expanded with Remington, Remifor short. He’s got a loud bark, but a gentle and very playful soul. Id love get to help you care for and love your pet when your schedule is needing it, and it allows more furry friends for Remi! Scheduling is somewhat flexible. Your baby will have all of the attention and love needed. I have a 1/2 acre yard that has the entire backyard completely fenced in. We have ponds in our community and lots of areas for your baby to run and play. I have no doubt you’ll have great peace of mind in knowing your fur baby is well taken care of. We have a dog of our own. So he goes out at 7am & gets his first walk and feeding of the day. With my fenced in yard he has the freedom to come and go as he wishes when weather permits. He gets a few treats during the day, as we’re always working on his manners and tricks. Around 7pm he gets last feeding and a treat before bed. He’s usually ready to crash about 9pm. I have a fenced in yard, one male dog, and flexible scheduling to accommodate potty breaks and feedings. I also have a large crate available if needed.

About: My entire life I have always had an animal in my home. This is the biggest reason for my positive mind set an attitude towards animals. I am a strong believer that your pet is your baby. I’m currently working part time while attempting to get my real estate license as well. This gives me a very flexible schedule to be available when needed the best times for me are between 7 AM - 10 AM and 3 PM-6 PM Monday through Friday. On occasion, I am also available on the weekends. I currently have two cats and a dog that love and play with each other deeply. I love seeing the connection that these furbabies have with not only me but each other.
