“We’re return clients for Tyler, he does a great job with our GSD with drop in visits and has done most of them with last minute requests. We’re new to Rover and have enjoyed the experience and will be using Tyler again!”
“Amelia was great! We loved seeing pics of Mabel everyday and felt very confident in knowing Amelia was taking care of Mabel. Couldn’t have gone better/been an easier process to hire Amelia as a cat sitter :)”
“Kaylee is fantastic! Setting someone up with Diesel for the first time made me nervous but she was so kind and relaxed. Diesel can be a little hesitant with new people, but he loved her.”
“Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”
“So comforting to have a pet sitter who takes care of yours like they would their own. Sara was available last minute and very accommodating with a time change. Also super patient with our high-energy pittie mix, who is a handful. Highly recommend!”
About: I work from home and would love to hangout with your pets! I’ve always had pets in the home from cats to birds to dogs. Right now I have a ten year old cat who is in remission from diabetes so I’m trained in injections and medications. My dogs back in Texas are pit bulls so I’m used to large lovable doggies :) I work from home so pets don’t go unattended and always have someone to hangout with. I am free most weekends and my significant other is also home to help out with high energy pups. :) I have walking trails around my apartment and wooded areas out back. My partner and I love to go on walks when weather permitting and would love to take your furry friend with us.
About: I have two dogs myself and genuinely love to spend time with animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me. I also have had puppies/elderly dogs before and am prepared for special needs. I have two dogs at home, both medium energied and with a good temper. I am able to provide care for the dogs all day, however all dogs must be able to be left alone for a minimum of 4 hours in case I have a doctors appointment or grocery shopping and such. If you prefer that your dog be crated during those times you will have to provide the crate. Otherwise I can dog proof my bedroom and leave them in there with water. Never will I leave a dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time. It’s my priority to make sure they are stimulated and cared for. I have housewatched/dogsat at multiple houses before and I haven’t had a bad experience so far. I respect all house rules/pet rules and keep regular contact with owners.
About: I have had dogs and cats for half my life. I have also worked at a pet supply store for 4 years, around a bunch of different dogs and animals. I trim nails and can bathe dogs. I am also okay with feeding reptiles, including snakes, as I have had a ball python for 5 years and other reptiles in the past. I am currently a part time employee at a grocery store. I am looking to add more animal time and experience to my days. I am typically available after 12pm. I currently live in an apartment that has a dog park across the street that i take my dog to. I also have a client who I drop in and feed her cats dry and wet food, play with them and clean up. I do occasional nail trims for her cats as well.
