About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve had dogs since I was about 6 years old, and growing up, my sisters and I always had a fur baby (or two… or five!) to love. 🩷 I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been a huge part of my life—from dogs and guinea pigs to bunnies, birds, goats, and chickens! I truly love being around animals and getting to know all their different personalities. Your fur baby will be treated like family while they’re with me—with lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of cuddles (if they’re into that 😉). My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your fur baby the attention, love, and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles, while still being around to keep them company. I love having animals around while I work, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day! 🩷 I have a sweet 11-month-old puppy named Aria who loves making new friends! 🐶💕 She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be happy to have some company, but I always make sure each dog is comfortable and gets the space and attention they need. I also have an extra-large crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and your instructions

“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”

“Kayla bravely agreed to take our 8 month old Australian Shepherd for 2 nights and days while we attended family wedding events. She handled her beautifully and our puppy loved her time. Puppy came back calm and happy. Kayla is very "dog knowledgable". She communicates clearly - asks questions about what would be OK for puppy. It made such a difference to us to know the great treatment she gave to our "teenage dog". We will ask for Kayla whenever we come. Our dog is crate trained, which helped I am sure.”

About: I have a very big house and big yard with room for your dog to run around. Super pet friendly! I've had dogs for 19 years. I love to walk dogs on my free time and hopefully I'll be able to help you walk yours! My house is right by the beach, where I love to throw the ball to my dog. I live with my mom, dad, brother, sister, cat (Lucy) and dog (Zoe). Zoe loves other dogs and is super mellow. I have hosted other pets before, just not through Rover. I enjoyed it so much! It's great to get paid doing what you love and that's what I hope to do! I'm hoping to make a little extra cash before I go back to college. Can't wait to be your pups best friend! :)

“Vivian accepted my boarding request asap when I needed last minute help! My shy dog, Fozzie, warmed up to her quickly. Vivian and her husband welcomed me into their home at the start, so I could see where Fozzie would be playing and see him meet their friendly dog, Daisy. It's very reassuring to get that intro. I'd highly recommend Vivian--she's a fantastic sitter!”

“Courtney was fabulous with my less than 1lb kitten! This is my first kitten this young, and I was terrified to leave her with anyone. She was abandoned before her eyes were open so I’ve been her mom, bottle feeding her every 2hrs and doing everything a kitten that small needs to survive When a long planned family event came up I had to find someone I would trust to care for my little girl. I honestly didn’t think it would be possible, but the second I met Courtney, I knew she would take as good of care of my baby as I would, and I was right! This was HUGELY terrifying for me, the thought of leaving my very tiny, very vulnerable kitten with a stranger, but after speaking with Courtney on the phone I felt like I’d found someone I could trust with my kitty. I highly recommend Courtney to care for your kitten and or cat. Her home is very kitty friendly and she was amazing with my kitten. I will absolutely be contacting her next time I need my kitten to be cared for.”

About: I have passion for life as well as for the animals. They should be treat with love and care. I believe that a healthy dog is a happy dog and a happy dog are those ones that exercise, go for walks and run in the nature and feel the love from their care takers. I worked at a ranch for 15 years and took care of dogs, cats, chincillas, bunnies, horses, goats, chickens. I appreciate every moment with animals and nature it is the perfect combination. I wish I can help you to take good care of your pet I understand how important for you is to find a trustful person to take care of your best friend and I can garantee this person is me. Thank you for your consideration.

About: I have dog sat for friends and family for years. This past year I started walking dog part time on apps and have absolutely loved it. I work remotely so have flexibility in my schedule for walks before, during, or after the work day. I love animals and used to foster puppies from a local animal shelter. Naturally I am a very loving & caring person who adores time spent with animals. I work remotely from home and can watch pets most days with my schedule. Happy to dog sit if you are going out of town or set up regular weekly walks. I love pets as if they were my own. Ensure they are comfortable and confirm with owner if any allergies or triggers I should be aware of.

Athena had a great time at her place; when I picked her up she had the biggest smile and I could tell she really enjoyed herself! Julia even sent me some videos of Athena playing with other dogs during the day (: If I’m in the SB area again, will definitely be having Julia sit my dog again!”

“Abby is a sweetheart, which when you're sending off your furry family member is exactly the kind of person you want them with. Her cadance of communication was just right for you being on vacation but wanting to check in. She also has a genuine interest in getting to know your dog's quirks and preferences. We will definitely have our dog Harley stay with Abby again.”

Jorrit and his family took great care of our dog Cosmo! It's clear he got a love of love from the whole family and we got a lot of comfort from the daily updates. We will definitely reach out to them again for future dogsitting needs.

Sandra was wonderful to work with and she took great care of our dog Darby! From the start when she offered to do a meet and greet and through his 5 day stay while we went back east for a funeral, she followed instructions, met his needs and was always sweet to him. We appreciated how communicative she was during the whole process and Darby came home energized and obedient because she walked him regularly. We will use Sandra again...and again!
