About: Hi! I’m Meghan. I’ve been around animals of all types my entire life. I have experience with farm animals, livestock, common house pets, birds, small rodents, and exotics. I have four dogs of my own, a pig, chickens, duck and conure! I would love to be able to give other pet owners peace of mind while they travel or take time off! I work full time during the day but have time in the afternoons beginning around 4pm for check ins, walks etc. My weekends are always free for walking, house sitting, and check ins. My pets are our family and they are treated as such. Yours will be too! I value those who care for my animals and take time to give them attention but respect house rules.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 4 month old baby, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you! I have a full-time job however, I can take breaks throughout the day to attend to your animal's needs (walks, potty breaks, food, etc.). I have full availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.

About: I have prior experience with Rover while I was in college, boarding, housesitting, and walking multiple pets. I now own my own home and have the free time to help out other pet owners again!

About: Hello, I’m Max! I’d love to care for your fur babies. I have experience with a wide variety of animals. I currently own a one year old Red-Nose Pitbull and been working with him since he was a few weeks old. He’s one of the many dogs that I’ve trained throughout my life. I’d love to experience life’s opportunities with your Paw-some companion! I’m currently a Substitute Teacher for CCPS so during the summer I have full availability to care for your babies. During the school year I’m available weekends, with weekdays have a bit more of a limited schedule. I feel as though it’s best to not only physically stimulate animals, but also mentally. Whether it be going for walks, training, mental exercises, or something as simple as love, I’m committed to do it all.
About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats.

As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.
About: I've been the go- to person for puppy cuddles, senior dog care, and long walk to anywhere for over two decades. At home I share space with three felines, one Shi Tzu, several cat trees and scratch pads, dog toys and a nice sized backyard to meet all of their needs and quirky personalities. Whether your baby loves Churu, wet food, tummy rubs, solo time or the occasional walk around the block (stroller included), I'm here to keep them happy while you are away. My home is equipped with puppy pads, litter boxes, pet crate, treats & toys since there is always a fur baby underfoot. I have interactive games, balls, ropes and more to keep everyone entertained and happy. My daily routine is a mix of love, responsibility and chaos. Creating the perfect environment, is all about the meet and greet, consistency, patience and understanding of their unique needs. Having a cozy environment, establishing a routine or following the ones are ready in place, I make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their Home Away from Home.
About: I have groomed a dog before. I have bottle fed kittens in my vet program. I have been dealing with dogs and cats almost all my life.

They have a nice, big fenced back yard and they get play time a lot, so that they can stay active.

Colonial Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jammie was absolutely fantastic! I had a family emergency where I had to fly out internationally ASAP. I did not realize I could not keep in contact with her prior leaving through the ROVER app. Luckily we were able to find a work around, and she accommodated me with ease. I could not of been happier, as this was my first time ever using such a program for dog sitting. Will definitely be using her services again in the future! Highly recommend!
Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.
