About: I’m Amy - a huge animal lover and would be happy to care for your pet(s) as well as I care for my own! I understand how hard it is to leave your pets while traveling or vacationing, or even during the workday, which is why I started on Rover. I have a very open availability and am flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 2 years where I learned a lot about health and wellness of cats and dogs. I also have experience administering medication, handling special needs/health issues, and basic training. I promise to provide kind, loving, patient care for your pet, and open communication! I currently have a very open/flexible schedule. Please reach out about any times/dates you may need care for your pets and I hope I can help fit your needs! Aaron (my husband) and I have one dog and two cats that we’ve had for over 9 years. We love being outside, being active and taking our dog, Bella, for walks. I am very detail oriented and promise to always be 100% respectful of your home, property, and pets.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I absolutely love them! I’ve worked with kittens, puppy’s, full grown cats, and full grown dogs. I have bigger dogs myself, so I know how to work with them! I am currently a college student, but will be home for the summer. I’d love to make some extra money and I love all pets! I will be able to tend to your pets almost every single day as well as stay for over 30 minutes if needed! I have 4 pets myself (2 cats/2 dogs) and they get alone just fine. I would prefer to not have any extra pets at my house but I would be just fine with helping with your pets at your home!
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our whole lives & have 2 German shepherds of our own. They just turned 7! We love animals and are happy to come love on yours, as well! We work different shifts during the day, so usually always one of us is able to help out! We do have two little ones now, so they may have to tag along, or we apologize if the timing just isn’t perfect. We are so happy to help out if we’re able! Hopefully you can think of us in the future if not - Send us a message!
About: I know the struggle is real when trying to find someone to watch your fur baby. Although, we haven't met in person, I hope to gain a bit of your trust for caring for your pet(s) with this short paragraph. Growing up, my family always had a "family" dog so since I was a young girl I have always enjoyed taking care of our pets. Now that I am an adult, I have made the choice to become a vegan because I believe all animals are worth fighting for. I spend most of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter. My husband and I have four dogs; all of which we adopted from a local shelter. Our families and friends tease us about how much we "spoil" and "pamper" our dogs, but to us, these furry creatures, are family. With all this said, I would be honored to help take care of your furry creatures by walking them when your schedule is pressed for time, going to your home to check in while you’re away, and all together showing them the love I believe all animals deserve. While deciding on my future career, I have a bit of time on my hands. I am currently available Monday through Friday to walk and play with your fur babies. I am also available for day or night check-ins at your home. Although, I can’t stay overnight with your pet(s), I am more than happy to go to your home several times throughout the day and spend time with your furry family while you are away. I will meet your pet’s needs in whatever environment you and your pet feel most comfortable! Does your pet need company for a few hours, a quick potty break, or a long walk? I am happy to help!
