“Carola did an awesome job dropping in and walking our dogs. She went above and beyond for our 3 dogs. She even cleaned up messes inside the house when our aussiedoodle would chew things up! She spent time outside with or dogs and even took our blind dog on a walk. She communicated with us very well to inform us of any problems or if she was running late. We will be using her in the future. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I grew up with cats and a few dogs and miss them all everyday. I’m a very responsible previous pet owner and due to not being able to have one due to current work schedule why not find a way to hang out with some. I’ve used Rover in the past and love it. Pick me!! I’m a travel nurse working 4 shifts a week but with the lower census my days are getting cut and I’m looking to make a few extra $. I love pets and figured this would be a great way to hang out with some and kill the boredom. I’m a responsible previous pet owner. I’m a nurse certified in BLS, NIH and ACLS. I know pets are different but I’m very skilled in keeping a close eye on folks and showing love and being there for them. ( and I really want to hang out with cute animals again)

About: I have had animals my entire life. I have always been a huge animal lover. I have a dog sad for many different people. A lot of people I know who have dogs tell me that they usually don’t like or are nervous around other people outside of their family, but they are comfortable with me. my dogs are my babies and I love them more than anything so when I am taking care of someone else’s pet, I treat them the same way I would treat mine because that’s someone else’s baby and they trusted me to take care of them. I am currently in school at COS so Monday through Thursday I will not be available until after noon. However, anytime after that will be available. I cannot offer any pet sitting in my home however, I will do it in the comfort of your own home. I will care for the pet by the instructions. I am given by their owners. I will gladly take them on long walks, to the dog park, or simply play with them in the house or backyard.

About: I worked at a cat and dog boarding and daycare facility for 3 years. I am pet CPR certified and safety is a priority to me. ◡̈ I work in town at Exeter Coffee co. I typically get off early afternoon and have a pretty open schedule and I would love to cuddle some cute pets! ◡̈ I treat all pets as if they are my own. Endless cuddles, lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. I can take any special instructions and special requests.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all different breeds my entire life. I can help with certain training reinforcements while they’re here if you’d like, and I’m also very experienced with providing basic medical treatments to animals for sicknesses, cuts, etc. I have animal specific IV bags, antibiotics, pain meds, ready to go in the very unlikely event that they’ll be needed. I also have a great relationship with a local mobile vet service. Please bring your own dog food, mostly to avoid tummy aches. Our pets are some of our best friends. In our household we treat them like family and enjoy all the time we spend together. Whether it’s spent lounging around or going on our daily walks to the store around the corner. We don’t consider it a chore at all, it’s simply part of our lifestyle. I work from home almost every day, occasionally work requires me to leave for a couple hours once or twice a week but in that instance my wife would be home watching the pets. They are our priority and we schedule around them!


About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. From playing with at least 10 adult German Shepherds at my Grandparents house as a kid to training three of my dogs to sit and jump when I was in middle school. The biggest highlight in my experience with dogs is assisting my Shih Tzu-Maltese dog with the birth of three litters, from eighth grade to my Sophmore year in high school. Ever since that first experience in eighth grade I have wanted to become a veterinarian. My availability will be Saturday at night and anytime Monday and Sunday. I’m currently working part time on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, while also going to school on Tuesday and Thursdays. Tuesdays I would have some availability for a short time to go for walks. I follow what the owners want me to do as far as there feeding schedule, play time and restroom breaks. I will also make sure they have plenty of attention.


About: Hi, I'm Schea. I've worked in the pet care industry for about 5 years. I've cared for puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats with disabilities, and everything in between. I'm available nearly any time. Large and hyper dogs are not an issue, I love a challenge! I'm very patient which makes it easy for me to interact well with nervous or anxious dogs and cats. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet your pet! I currently have no other obligations, this is my priority and my main source of income. I'm excited about this opportunity as animals are my biggest passion in life. A pretty should always feel safe in their own home and this will always be a priority for me. Taking a first interaction in a pets home slowly and carefully is the best way to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable.

Ken C.
“Hi For the past 4 years that Kennedy has been the caregiver to my dog pinto he has been nothing but loving and respectful to pinto. Pinto has demonstrated his attachment he has towards Kennedy because of the following reasons: Kennedy always shows up ready to show him love and attention. Second off Kennedy feeds him on time takes him for walks to the park plays with him and most importantly shows him love as if pinto was his own dog! I know Kennedy and he can gain your trust in an instant and more importantly your dog’s trust also! So if I were to choose someone to take care of another dog if I had another one, I’m picking Kennedy as my dog caregiver such a great guy and respectful guy!”

“Jackie is such a good care taker. With cats she’s there all the time giving them attention, playing with them and feeding them. She cleans the litter box, feeds them exactly what is requested and overall gives a lot of love. With my dog she is very gentle with him. He is a puller but she was able to take him on proper walks to poop, feed and play. My dog loves her!”

Schea E.
“My dog LOVES Schea! She's so enthusiastic and sweet with my pup, and you can see how much she loves dogs in how she cares for them, and how she greets them with so much joy.

She's a great dog walker!”
