Went on vacation for a week and needed someone to feed my cats every night. My cats are pretty unique so the feeding procedure is not the easiest. Followed every detail to the T. Very grateful!

Karlena has been amazing with our puppy Billie! She is always on time and keeps us updated. She works on training her while she’s here and puts up with the puppy biting. She is our saving grace on days where we aren’t home for extended periods of time.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.

Christine visited my cat, Hewie, while I was away. She fed Hewie, played with him, and just generally made sure he was ok. Christine sent me pictures every day as well as text updates. Christine made my first experience with Rover super easy and I’ll definitely book with her again!

Hailey does a fantastic job with our dogs! She is punctual, professional, and follows all of our instructions to a T. With our special needs dog it’s difficult to find someone who he connects with. She also sends photos and video updates. She is a natural with both our boys and we will continue to use her as our permanent sitter!

About: I have grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats my whole life, as well as various types of small animals. I spent the last year working as an attendant at a Dog Daycare and Boarding center where I learned a lot more about caring for dogs in addition to my previous dog sitting experience. I have experience working with and handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, specifically large dogs with lots of energy. I have a lot of patience for dogs who get anxious while their families are away and can help them feel as comfortable as possible. I rode horses for 10 years and For several years I worked leading pony rides and handling farm animals for a traveling petting zoo which has given me a well rounded understanding for taking care of animals in general. I am a college graduate and in college I would often take care of my friend’s animals when they were in class or away. At the moment I only have a cat and would love to get to spend more time with dogs again. I work in theatre as a prop and paint artist and a lot of jobs in the field are for a couple weeks at a time and are not always the most consistent. I have full availability on the weekends and have a very flexible schedule during the week, specifically in the morning and evenings but also can likely do mid day. I have helped my sister train her dog and can help continue any training and/or rules you have for your dog while walking and taking care of them. I can keep a close eye on them if they are likely to get into trouble or things they’re not supposed to. I will give your pets lot of love and attention while you’re away. I can also play with your dogs and help get their energy out during the day. My dog is very playful and I often have to run around with him in the yard and play with him in the house to help him calm down.
