“Had an amazing experience. They were willing to do a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. On time, dogs are happy, and were taken care of like they were their pets. We had plenty of communication and pictures from Ian and Candice. We would recommend their services as they went above and beyond with their care. Will defiantly re-book if future services are needed.”
“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our Pickle while we were gone. She even has much experience with his breed which is a bonus! She really went that extra step in caring for him. He will definitely be excited to see her again!”
“Olivia does a great job of walking Brexit twice a week for us as my husband and I work full time she also gives Brexit attention and always makes sure she gets some water!”
About: Along with my own dog, I have sat and cared for my friend's and family's pets for a couple of years now and I am a very detail oriented and attentive person who truly cares for animals, almost more than humans. I am home from college for the summer and work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and get to know your babies! I can walk, feed, play with, and care for dogs in line with your instructions, whether that means administering medication(s) or staying with them overnight!
“Abigail is the best! My dog loves her! We came from out of town and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease looking after our pup. She was quick to respond, competent, professional and thoughtful. My partner accidentally locked her out and she was patient and went out of her way to wait for him to let her in. We will be rebooking her again and you should too! 10 stars!”
About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!
About: I’ve always had pets growing up- especially larger dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover at heart and will treat your fur babies like my own! We pour into our three cats at home and strive to give them the best quality of life- they are our family after all. I know I’m newer to rover, so it’ll take time and reviews to build your trust. Let me prove to you the love I have for animals and the quality care I’ll provide :) My schedule is very flexible as I stay at home with our toddler! Just let me know what you need and I can accommodate! Daytime is better, but I’m open to evenings as well! Weekends are open :) In our home, we treat our 3 cats with unconditional love. We recently had one of our first cats pass away due to CHF. It was very trying decision to come to, but ultimately decided it was best to not let him suffer, no matter how much our hearts would break. Since then, we’ve tried implementing extra vitamins, better quality food, more play time, etc. into our other cats lives to hopefully combat any future health issues with them. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your fur babies with as much love and care as my own.
About: I grew up on a farm near Dallas Center and have experience with a variety of animals both big and small. My first job growing up was at PetSmart where I gained valuable knowledge on how to take better care of my furry family members and my customer's furry family members! I have adopted multiple dogs and cats into my own family and would love the chance to treat your pets as family as well. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I would love to set up a routine with you and your pet. I have a fenced yard and live near a city park that would be great for walks! I do have children in my home who love animals. Your pets would get plenty of cuddles, attention, and play time.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had labs, rottweilers, and pit bulls. I love playing, taking on walks, and visiting with any and all dogs. I would love to help you and your loved pets! I do work full time, 4 days a week. I have the weekends to visit and play with animals. I can also visit animals after or before work. I do not have the space to have dogs at my home. I am looking to do drop in visits, walks, or just spend time with them! For cats as well.
About: I’ve had animals in my life since day one—dogs, cats, you name it—so caring for pets is basically in my DNA. I started pet sitting and babysitting for neighbors when I was younger, and I’ve loved it ever since. I know how much pets mean to their people, and I treat every furball like they’re part of my own pack! As a stay-at-home mom with all my kids in school, I have lots of free time during the weekdays! I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings—perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet! I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys—and I keep your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Karley agreed to Help with very short notice and followed the care directions based on text and photo instruction. She was on time for both her visits and sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommended”
About: I'm a current dog foster through a local shelter, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life! I'm comfortable with most ages and sizes, and have picked up a lot of skills and knowledge on how to work well with dogs. I'm just as comfortable with cats, and I have some good experience cat sitting for relatives. I have a very flexible schedule as a graduate student, so I have a lot of availability to fit taking care of pets into my day/week. I try to keep a consistent feeding schedule and make sure dogs go out as soon as I return from being away. I make sure any hazards or chemicals are far out of reach, and always keep dogs on leashes when going on walks outside of a fenced in area. I make sure to monitor toys that can break into small pieces (nylabones, benebones, etc.). I am comfortable crating dogs if there has been previous crate training.
About: I've had dogs and cats for most of my life that are treated as family. Buster, my 16 year old Border Collie mix, recently passed. My family consists of several grand puppies who come for visits. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I am home most days all day long, with occasional appointments. I would love to go for walks with a dog. I have a pet friendly home with a large fenced yard. I have several grand puppies who visit. I love dogs and would welcome them into my home as part of my family.
About: I’m very attentive to details and love all fur babies. I believe in keeping animals on regular schedules for feeding and exercise. Your dog will be well loved and cared for at my house! I live on a farm with equines, so my schedule is built around their feeding and exercise, which means that I’m home most of the time. My dog (and yours) is inside the house, except when outside in the fenced area or on a leash while on a walk around our property each evening. Millie is our very active senior dog who is less than 20 pounds. She lost her older buddy a few years ago and would love a friend to hang out with. We have a very large fenced yard for them to play in, but they will be inside unless they want to play outside.
