Autumn was amazing! She had a concern and contacted me right away. I love the amount of communication and photos she sent while she was with our dogs. I will definitely ask her back for future needs.

I highly recommend Emma. She is experienced with all types of dogs due to her background fostering animals. She handled our large, headstrong dog very well when she walked him around Ada Hayden each day. She is always very prompt when scheduling visits.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats all my life. I’d say I’m an equal-parts “dog and cat person” as a result, and currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs at home. I have been the primary trainer of the dogs my husband and I have had, so I’ve done a lot of reading as well as hands-on practice with professional trainers. I work from home part-time, so I have solid availability for dog walking and spending quality time with your pup. Whether it’s a short or long walk, or a check in, I have flexibility to offer. I use a leash for dogs in my yard. I especially enjoy walking them in our neighborhood and playing games inside and in the yard.

Amber is amazing! She has so much love and patience for my dog gunner, on walks. This is the first time I’ve ever had anyone else provide care for gunner and I’m glad I picked just the right person. She even met my other two dogs and they loved her as well. I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for years to two amazing pups, I’ve handled everything from training high energy puppies to supporting senior dogs who just need a slower, gentler pace, and I always try to follow whatever routine makes them feel safest and most at home. I’m also a Rover user myself and use this platform when I have to be away from my dogs, so I know exactly what it feels like to trust someone else with your babies. I understand the worries, the updates you hope to receive, and how much it means to know they’re comfortable and happy. When I care for someone’s dog, I treat them the same way I’d want someone to care for mine — with kindness, attention, and lots of love. I have a flexible work schedule, which means I can give plenty of attention to the pets I care for. On weekdays or weekends, I’m usually available and love spending my time keeping dogs happy and comfortable. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family, with lots of playtime and exercises. If I’m in your home, I’ll follow your routines, keep everything clean and safe, and make sure your pets feel relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also send you updates so you can feel reassured that your furry friends are doing great.

About: I have experience with reactive dogs, including my own, and I also walk dogs at the humane society. I’m a runner who loves providing physical exercise, and I’m big on mental enrichment to help dogs feel calm and fulfilled. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and individual needs are always my top priority. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I walk my dog every day on lunch. Working from home allows me to come to your house and spend the day with your animals so they aren't alone. I do mental enrichment with my dog through the day as well! I love sending photos and updates to my clients throughout their trip. I make sure to pay attention to the animals needs making sure they always have clean water and food when needed. I provided daily walks, and mental enrichment and plenty of snuggles if the pup or cat allows!

About: I will treat your animals with compassionate care. I believe animals are a part of our families and will treat them like so. I have been around dogs my whole life and understand their behaviors and know how to communicate with them. Currently, I work at a school and will have the summer off. I am looking for something that can be flexible and can work around mine and my kids schedule. I will listen to whatever care your pets need and follow instructions. I understand basic dog behaviors and how to communicate with them. My dogs in our household are just like family members and are treated with much love and I will treat your pets the same way.

About: I have helped my family take care of our pets almost my whole life! Since moving out I’ve had my own pets (cats and dogs). I understand the importance of giving your pet attention while you’re gone, since they could be stressed with the change in routine! I’m a farm girl at heart! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, sheep, ducks, chickens, cows, pigs, rats, hamsters….you name it! I work from home so I’m available to spend time with your pets throughout the day! As long as I have access to Wi-Fi I can work from anywhere! I am comfortable with crate training if your pet needs it. I follow direction very well so just leave me with a detailed note on how things run and I’ll keep it as consistent as possible for your pet!

Lexi is very punctual and easy to work with. She takes great care of our pup and went above and beyond with extra requests today to get him some water and put him in his crate when they got back from their walk. Thank you, Lexi!

About: I have never lived a day without pets. In addition to always having fur babies in my life, I have always been a reliable source for friends and family when it comes to pet and house sitting. You can always count on me! I currently work part-time about 1.5 days each week (A few hours on Mondays and all day Tuesday), but aside from that my schedule is open and available for bookings! I am willing to follow every guideline you give me when it comes to the care of your pet. I don't cut corners, and because I learn quickly, there's almost nothing I can't do. Whether its giving your pets medication or just catering to any other specific need, I can do it, you just have to ask :)

About: I have always had a dog in my like and have been the sole provider for at least a year in each dogs life that I have had. My dog I have now is almost two years old and I have also dog sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers numerous times. I am currently working and taking classes from home so I have more than enough time to watch the puppies and give them the attention and help that they need. If I pet sit at your home I will do things in whatever way you request and I will do my best to follow directions to a T. I live in an apartment complex so if they stay the night I will have to take them out on a leash. But regardless of where I am I will try to follow your instructions as well as call and text with any questions whether they be big or small.

Amanda is amazing and my dog loves when she takes him for walks while I'm at work. She always gives me an update and let's me know how the walk went and even takes a moment to say hello to my kitty and gives him some TLC. She is much appreciated as I know I don't have to worry about my boys while working long days.
