About: Experience with dogs of different sizes as well as with cats. I used to have 5 dogs at once. All with different needs. Very flexible and will acclimate to whatever your pet needs! Very flexible with whatever you and your pet need. I WFH throughout the week and can work from wherever. Or I can just go check on your pet after work or for a walk. On a recent health journey and would love extra motivation to be more active outdoors! I’m very conscious about ensuring pets are well leashed and not left alone (especially outside). Will make sure they get their food (and treats, if allowed) as well as all the necessary pets!

About: I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes over the years. I love every pup, and every pup has unique behavioral and dietary needs, and they should all get the personalized treatment they deserve! As the experienced owner of a giant breed dog (and probably more in the near future), I want you to know that no matter the size and shape of your dog they will receive personalized care and fun time with me! I am retired from professional baseball, and this is a great way to spend my free time! I love dogs, and as a single guy with a ton of free time, this feels like the best use of it! I am happy to do whatever you may need to help your pet out… whether it’s a long walk during the day, an overnight stay, or just checking in and giving some treats, I’m here to help!
“Cassandra does a fabulous job. She really seems like she enjoys her visit with Luca. I very much appreciate what she does and the time she spends with him while she’s in my home.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
“Had Kendall watch over my cat for two weeks. Fantastic job. Always communicated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Make sure to hire when you need someone to look after your animal”

“Artur is great. He loves cats as much as dogs. He is very conscientious. My cat loves to play with him. Artur sweeps up the litter up and recycles my cans. He saw my desk that I bought still in the box and he put it together for me. He is a Ukrainian immigrant but his English is good. I highly recommend him.”

“Taylor is absolutely amazing and we will be using her again!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! She took excellent care of Luna and Red while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got plenty of potty breaks outside, and most importantly, gave them lots of love and snuggles. She sent us photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She exceeded every expectation. I accidentally mixed up and changed the schedule several times, and she was incredibly patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. Luna and Red were clearly comfortable with her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Alana did a fantastic job! The pups took right to her from the beginning. She was very prompt and never missed an appointment. She sent pictures of their walks with a detailed report. We will work with Alana again!”

“Sierra was wonderful with our dog! She left detailed reports and sent lots of pictures for her drop in visits. She was very reliable and our dog really seemed to love her visits!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of house pets from ferrets, cats, dogs, and even rabbits. I am comfortable with all ages of animals, able to give oral medication, take them out and about on walks or to the dog park, I have training experience so if your animal is ill mannered I can work on that if requested. I currently work about 30 hours a week as a seamstress, and use pet care as a way to make up the rest of my income. Depending on the service, time/day, and weather, I would arrive in the mornings at about 9:00 am, take the dog(s) for a walk, feed them, then take them for a second walk. I would spend approximately an hour with them in total. In the afternoon I would either like to take them to the dog park to tire them out or I will take them for another walk and play with them in the house for approximately an hour. In the evening, I would arrive at 5:30, take them for a short walk, feed them and take them for a second short walk and play with them in the house.
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”

“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”

“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”

About: I have personal experience walking my dog many years. I sometimes go to dog parks for social activity. I would love to make extra income to walk dogs for a living. Thank u for choosing me. I am excited to join the team to be a dogwalker. As long as the weather is permitted, l can walk your dog everyday. I own a pomsky will be a year old in July. I am hoping she can walk with us. This would absolutely complete my dream job. Thank you for hiring me. I am a true animal lover. Excited to do pleasure with you! Dogs and walking are great mixture by the way for the benefits of well being, therapeutic you might say ☺ Hope to hear from u soon. I am currently job free looking for work , having an extra job as a pet care helper would be a dream job for me. Being around animals are very therapeutic for me. Animals are so much better than trying to work with society the way people are these days. I would care for the pets by giving them walks, and show them plenty of attention by playing with them like tug of rope, or playing fetch, also petting them to their fullest:)
“This was our first experience using Rover, but it was a great one! Kylie was so responsive and did an amazing job looking after our cats. We got regular updates and she took extra time to play with them and give them love while we were gone. We came back to healthy, happy, and contented pets. Would book her again!”
