“Elena has watched our dogs several times this year in 2023. We like using the same sitter when we can to avoid too much change for the dogs. Elena gets along great with our dogs and she leaves our home clean. We appreciate her so much!”


“Samantha was great with our dogs, Kili and weasel! Our pup-watching plans fell-through and Samantha was the biggest help and very understanding. She was very communicative and sent photos, which was really appreciated.”


“I was very please with Jose. He updated me through his time sitting and watching Mike. Loved all the picture and fun messages he sent I could definitely feel Mike- my dog was taken care of and got penty of exercise. He left the house nice and clean and picked up. Thanks”


About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was a young boy. I love dogs of all species and love to play and learn about dogs when I can. I currently have a blue heeler so high energy dogs are no problem. I would love to use my free time to do something productive and help people make sure their animals are cared for and give them the extra attention that I can. I live in an apartment, but I love taking my dog to the park to play to let out his energy. We also love to play in the house aswell.

“Rachelle was great with our boys! She was on time with all scheduled meetings (meet and greet and house-sit). She was flexible and accommodating when we asked if she could arrive an hour earlier. She made sure the dogs ate (sometimes they are hesitant with new people) and took medicine. She provided updates and followed all of our instructions well.”


“Laura went above and beyond. My pups were well taken care of and got their daily walks. I was completely at ease leaving the care of my dogs and my home in her care. She even washed her towels and the sheets, which wasn't necessary but so sweet! She is my new Dog Whisperer! There is no way anyone can go wrong employing her services. Thank you SOOOO much, Laura!”


“Trevor did a great job taking care of our dog, Lily, and our home while we were away. He communicated regularly, took care of our many requests, and walked and played with Lily. Trevor is very responsible and we would highly recommend him.”


About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.


“I just joined this app to test it and she gave me the best experience possible! This is my first time leaving my baby with anyone and she was so responsive and gave me updates every chance she got and my son came back very happy and will be back to see her again when allowed ! Thank you so much again !”


“Krisitine was great and our dogs loved her! She reliably gave our dog his medicine multiple times a day and provided updates with photos. We would love to use her again!”


“Isabel was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my girls while we were out of town for over a week. We love our girls like they are our children. Isabel loved them the same and gave us a stress free vacation knowing our girls and our house was well taken care of. We cannot thank her enough for all of the photos and updates throughout her stay. We could see how much fun and attention our girls had while we were gone. We look forward to having her watch for us on our next vacations.”

“Tanja exceeded expectations from the beginning. She was thorough and professional during our first messages in the Rover App. And when we set up an introduction our pups immediately gravitated towards her as an obvious dog lover.

We will definitely be asking for Tanja again if she is available for our next trip!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I’ve recently thought I should take my care and love for dogs to a new level. In assisting dog owners with walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and soon training. I hope they enjoy their time with me and can’t wait for the next visit. I work full time but am hoping to become the best companion to your pup and many more to follow my dreams into making Rover my full time position.

I have an apartment with an exclusive area for pets, where they can play and have exercise. I don't currently have pets so my attention will be on your furry.
