David and Lauren were wonderful with Max! Very communicative, and lots of updates on how he was doing. I had a last minute change of plans, and another quick trip to book and they were extremely flexible and accommodating. I felt very good leaving Max in their hands while I was gone.

About: I’ve been actively involved in animal rescue since 2012, volunteering, fostering, and transporting animal with CAA/EBR shelter. Currently i’m on the board and volunteer with Barking Wishes, a senior dog sanctuary in Central, where I spend time caring for and advocating for older dogs. I’m the proud pet parent of two rescue pets - one dog (a 9 year old Beagle mix and a 10 year old Tortie cat. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, giving me extensive experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. Now that I’m retired, I have a flexible, open schedule seven days a week, including most holidays. I’m happy to work closely with each client to meet their pet’s unique needs. I carefully follow all care instructions and provide regular updates, including at least one photo per day (or more if requested), so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m recently retired so my schedule is open 7 days a week and most holidays. I’m willing to work with clients in order to care for their pet. I follow all instructions given by the owner. Depending on the client, I send at least 1 picture a day and give updates as requested.

About: I personally have had a bearded dragon, betta fish, a horse, I have worked at a barn, I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, I have 3 cats of varying ages, I have 2 dogs. And had cared for my senior dog until she was 16 with all her medical needs. I have raised two of my dogs from puppies. I have bottle fed orphaned kittens. I have dealt with reactive dogs. My animals have taught me a lot. I work a lot already and I am in school but I am trying to save. So mornings and evenings are easiest for me to manage. I am flexible to the environment the animal is in and am willing to adapt to their current routine. If they need walks or play time or just let out in the yard.

About: Part time for Rover but will give you and your baby my full time attention! I love animals and I even used to work at a no-kill Animal Shelter (I don't have veterinarian experience). I've lived on a farm for 10 years and had plenty of pets, exotic and native, so I'm familiar with the oddities that come with the territory of an animal that can't really tell you what's wrong. I own two 6 year old 20lb fur babies myself and they are the friendliest cats you could meet. They love Dogs but if you're pup doesn't like cats that's okay. We can work out dog sitting or taking them for a walk! I can't wait to meet you and your babies! Pick me!

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was little—they’re my favorite thing on this earth. I started pet sitting 2 years ago and it’s been a joy ever since. I provide feeding, watering, walks, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and even overnight stays to ensure your pets get the best care possible. I only go to school 3 days a week and not for long at all, so my school schedule never interferes with my pet sitting schedule! I have a fenced in yard and 2 small dogs at home! My dogs do not have any problems with other dogs but I do keep them separated from other peoples dogs just in case! I never let them out my site at mine or a clients home.

Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.

About: Hi, I was raised with 5 massive dogs for 15 years and trusted by many to take care of their adorable animals. No matter how big or small. I can take care of your farm animals if needed! I work remotely and will be spending a lot of time at home. I like to take a 10 mins break every hour to make sure the dogs goes outside to potty or for fresh air. I love to play tug of war with dogs if they like that and make sure they’re petted with love. I will provide treats if they can have some :)

About: I've been working with dogs for 2+ years and love it, I was a supervisor at a dog daycare and boarding facility back home so I am doggy cpr certified and have certain certifications! I've worked with all different types of dogs ranging from xs breeds to xxl breeds. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their animals. I'm currently a stay at home wife so I would love to get out the house and get some puppy love! I am currently pregnant but dr recommend exercise to help with my type 2 diabetes during my pregnancy. I am available M-F between the hours of 11am-5pm weekends vary, but always open to discuss a certain day if needed! I have a fur baby myself. His name is Benji and is 4 years old. We have a pretty decent schedule, we wake up and go for a walk around our apartment complex every morning and then come back inside and relax, he gets his food and nibbles on in throughout the day, we go for another walk around the complex mid day and then he gets taken out again in the evening before bed, he gets treats throughout the day but not too many! We also try to go to the dog park once a week so he can have some off leash play!
