About: Hey there! I’m Reagan. I’m an experienced pet sitter, just new to Rover! I love furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I’m well versed in pet nutrition, pet care, and emotional well-being of animals. Open to any animal friend in need of some extra eyes! I work a full time job, but my job allows flexibility for lunchtime visits and is understanding in times of emergencies. I’m available any day of the week, and my daily fee will cover three visits at the very least. I’m willing to work with your schedule as needed. I will adapt to your pets standards of care, health, and entertainment needs. I cannot sit in my own home, but I always treat my clients home with the upmost respect.

14. Jimma W.
About: If having a soul means to be able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude then animals are better off than a lot of humans. Every since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My Dad was very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I started pet sitting when I was in elementary school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their dogs and cats. I have had many beloved pets growing up! Animals are my Life! Pet care fits into my daily routine perfect as I have a daily schedule with my fur baby’s. Taking care of my animals are my first priority I have a fenced back yard 2 fur baby’s to keep your baby entertained. We love going on walks or cuddling which ever your baby likes most!
15. Anissa B.
About: I have two years experience working for a vet. I’m very caution with my job duties I listen to every detail given. I can administer medicine and insulin for pups or cats when needed. I would care for other pets as if they are my own. I do work a full time job at a vet clinic and do nails for few clients. I have time between my full time job to watch and care for you animals I have a fenced backyard with two friendly dogs and I do have a indoor cat. I’ve watched pets for family and close friends I normally would go to the house to check and feed them.
16. Andrea C.
“I was referred to Andrea by a friend who'd recently left her dog with her. She did not disappoint. Usually, when I go to pick up my dog from somewhere, he cannot wait to leave. This was not the case this time. It was obvious he felt very comfortable in Andrea's home and enjoyed playing with her two daughters. I will be contacting Andrea the next time I need a place for my dog to stay.”
17. Lenny M.
About: I have watched over many dogs before from my own family dogs to my personal friends dogs as well as my moms friends dogs. I am reliable and responsible and can take good care of any dog I just graduated from Carlsbad High School and have plenty of time on my hands. I do plan however to get a part time job here soon. However I do have a flexible schedule I’ve watched over plenty of dogs throughout my life and understand dog behavior. I have watched over friends houses in the past and have been very respectful of their homes.
18. Caitlin C.
About: I’ve cared for many animals all my life. I have had many different animals growing up, worked in an animal shelter, and have a true compassion for animals. I’m currently in college but still have a fairly open schedule. I have different times of availability throughout the week and am available most weekends! I have watched dogs in their parents homes before. Just give me specific directions on how to care for your pet and I will follow! :)
