Tim would make a fantastic addition to Rover. He is passionate about his pets. You will often find Tim in the recliner with a kitty snuggled up to his chest. Pets are definitely part of Tim’s family!

We are so grateful to have found Christina on Rover! Leaving my miniature schnauzer, Maverick, in her care was such a relief. She treated Maverick like family, providing him with plenty of love, attention, and exercise. We received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease knowing he was happy and well-cared for. Christina is reliable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog watcher!

Shawn did AMAZING with my small zoo of animals! I contacted him on short notice and he was great to work with. He sent me pics, played with my giant dogs, and made sure everyone was cared for. Will 100% use him again in the future.

About: Hello, I’m Kaylin and I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve had cats and dogs for 17 years now. I know how to play with cats and dogs of all ages and how to care for them. I do have experience with large dogs and enjoy hanging with big dogs. I currently work as an independent health insurance agent. I work from home 99% of the time and make my own schedule. This leaves me with flexibility throughout my day that can be used to come hangout with your pet! When working in a client’s home, I will first ask about the pet’s routines and preferences for playtime, potty breaks, and feedings. If the yard is not fenced in, I will leash dogs to ensure that they are staying safe while we enjoy some time outside.

About: Hello, my name is Yasmin. Full time animal lover with time on my hands and I would love to help care for your furry friend. I’ve been taking care of animals almost all my life which is good because they seem to love me❤️ I absolutely love animals, especially big dogs and older cats. I am open to dog walking, temporary dog sitting , as well as taking your pets to and from appointments. I love playing with animals, so dropping in and spending time with your pet is my personal favorite. In the past I have owned one dog, three cats, four birds, two rabbits, and a couple fish. If you are ever in a last minute situation, I’m almost always available, just shoot me a message. I am self employed so I’m almost always free. I try to be flexible so even if what you need doesn’t fit my schedule, I will always try to help out I’m a pet person so if I bring any animal into my home, I treat it as my own. I’ll gladly supply toys and treats(with owners permission, of course) and I’ll always put your pet first. They’re likes and dislikes are important to me and I always want them to feel safe and comfortable.

Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away for five days. The true measure of that is how relaxed they were when I returned. I highly recommend her and will certainly be using her again.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I have owned dogs ranging in different sizes and breeds: St. Bernard, Maremma Sheepdog, Boxer, Cocker Spaniel, German Shorthair Pointer, and Hush Basset. I have experience with Ragdoll, Himalayan, and Persian cat breeds. Also have experience with rabbits, sugar gliders, geckos, and guinea pigs. We are a family that loves animals, and we would be happy and grateful to love on yours while they are in our care! I am a stay at home mom so I have a fairly flexible schedule, and am available to pet sit most any day of the week. I have 3 female dogs that are all very friendly, and get along well with other dogs and cats. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have a cable, and an outdoor kennel run for dogs that would like some outside time.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, I have done all the training for my personal dog as well. I work from home so my schedule is really open, I can provide a quiet place for any animal and have a small outdoor for them to play. Working from home allows me the ability to take dogs out whenever necessary as well as walks too, as im usually done by 4pm. I work from home so I’m very flexible and have enough time to play with the animals, take dogs on walks, and let them out whenever necessary! I wake up pretty early and get off at a decent hour which allows me more time to accommodate any animal. I have a decent sized townhome in a neighborhood with little traffic and it also has a small backyard as well! I have my own crate that I can provide for medium sized dogs and smaller as well as extra leashes,bowls, and treats.

Shawna did an outstanding job looking after our pets. She took pictures and kept us updated on how our fur kiddos were doing. We will definitely be using her again. We felt completely at ease with her and her ability to get the job done. Shawna is a great person and very personable.

Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!

Dorothy has always had animals as long as i have known her. They should be considered the luckiest pets to have her as their owner! She is so patient and caring with all the pets she has had. She frequently pet sits for us when we are out of town and is happy to have the extra playmates.
