“Cody was great! I had a last minute event pop over the weekend and needed to scramble to find someone to stop in a couple times. Cody responded quickly and helped me out tremendously.”

About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy

About: In addition to growing up on a farm with dogs and many animals, I have had many years of experience not only watching but working with all kinds of animals. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for 2 years and I have animal sat (dogs, puppies, cats, farm animals, etc) for family and friends and have become their go to sitter! As a student during the summer, I have an open schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention while respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, loving care, and treat every pet like family.

“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two toy poodles who are our world. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and provide daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away! 🐾 My husband and I both work from home, so your dogs will definitely not be lonely during the day! We are able to give frequent walks, potty breaks and play time, and lots of snuggles! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly toy poodles who enjoy the company of other dogs. I closely supervise all interactions and work to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated, I can accommodate that as well. Dogs are welcome on our couches and, if that’s what they’re used to at home, they’re welcome to sleep on the bed at night, too. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away.

“Went above and beyond and cleaned up garbage my dog had gotten into. Great service!”

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who believes every pet deserves to be treated with patience, respect, and genuine care. Reliability, safety, and integrity are at the core of everything I do, so you can trust that your pets will be cared for as if they were my own. Before transitioning into animal care, I spent over a decade serving my community as a firefighter and paramedic. During that time, I not only cared for people during emergencies but also had the privilege of rescuing animals from fires and other emergency situations. I also completed Basic Animal Rescue Technician (BART) training, giving me additional knowledge in safely handling and caring for animals during stressful situations. Those experiences reinforced the importance of remaining calm under pressure, paying close attention to details, and treating every life with compassion and respect. I've spent years around dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including training my own service dog using positive, relationship-based methods. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take a calm, mindful approach to building trust and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a senior dog, a shy rescue, or another type of animal altogether, I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets and adapting to their individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable care, clear communication, and peace of mind while you're away, ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Throughout my career—whether caring for people or now caring for animals—my philosophy has remained the same: show up when it matters, pay attention to the details, and treat every life with kindness, respect, and compassion. I can be pretty flexible and adaptable to your scheduling needs, and I'm open to having things set up on a recurring schedule, or filling last minute needs when I'm available and not tied up in family matters. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and minimizes stress. Whether we're out on a walk or spending time together at home, I use a calm, patient approach that helps pets feel safe and secure. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your home and your animals with the utmost respect. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, while maintaining a clean and secure environment. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to be someone you can trust completely—providing dependable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind and ensuring your pets are treated like members of my own family.

“Stephanie took excellent care of our senior cat. Stephanie befriended our shy but super social cat during the meet and greet — she has the gift! I’m so happy our cat has a new bestie and I can confidently travel knowing she’s happy and cared for. Stephanie kept track of her eating and bathroom habits, and shared updates so we could adjust her meds. I loved the detailed daily updates and photos. I have the next visit booked already!”

“Ashley was great with our 8 year old golden doodle. Responded quickly to our last minute booking request, came right over for a meet and greet and followed through by being fantastic with our dog for several drop in visits over a weekend. She came right on time and sent us plenty of pictures and video so we knew all was well. It was great knowing our fur baby was in good hands and that peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our evenings without worry. We will definitely be booking Ashley again soon!”

“Great communication with Rebecca and reliable drop-ins while our family was away. Great to have peace of mind while out of town knowing your pup is being cared for!”

“Caleb, is absolutely awesome! I was initially nervous about boarding my 65 pound bully, Remi, as she’s a creature habit. So, I opt for in-home drop-in. We arranged four meet -n- greet to ensure Remi and Caleb became comfortable with each other. By the third meeting, Remi was practically trying to go home with Caleb. That’s when we knew we made them perfect choice.! Caleb kept us updated with pictures throughout vacation, which gave us such peace of mind. He truly is awesome and I’ll definitely continue to use his service. Thanks to the positive experience. I’m now even considering trying his daycare service and eventually boarding. Thanks Caleb for taking such wonderful care of my sweet girl Remi.”

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

“Very good to work with! She took really good care of my dog when she came over.”

“Jessica took great care of my pup, making sure she got enough play while I was away with friends so that she was ready to relax by the time I got home. Thanks, Jess!”

About: Hey! I’m Hannah, a passionate and experienced dog sitter with a genuine love for animals! I’ve cared for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I pride myself on providing personalized attention to every furry friend. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities! Through my experience with dogs I've learned to read dog body language, the best enrichment for dogs and how to ensure they have a good time. I am currently working from home on my own schedule so that means I have an abundance of time to take care of your pups. I follow whatever rules the owner gives me for their pet. I understand that each pet is different so while I might have prior knowledge on things I will always adhere to the guidelines given to me from the owner as they know their pet best!

“Thank you so much Lynn for the quick help while we had our baby! Look forward to working with you again. Best, Ben and Ann”

About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
