I have a or of availability to love and care for your pets. Im looking forward to meeting new people and animals alike! Message me and we set up a meet and greet!! My pets have a better life than most human beings! They always have plenty of food to eat and toys to play with. Our dogs have a huge back yard they play in. I've always had a special place in my heart for animals. I am parient and loving and cant wait to meet your pets!!
“Grace was awesome!! Our husky mix can be a bit much for some people and Grace immediately did great with her the first time they met. She kept us updated throughout the stay and took care of our home as if it was hers!”
About: I'm new to the pet service job, but I've owned two dogs since they were puppies. I have visited cats to clean their boxes and play with them, on behalf of friends that went away. I'm currently unemployed doing part-time jobs, so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and don't mind playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.
About: I have had my dog for years and have had a few cats as well as a bearded dragon and a snake. I have joined Rover to make some side cash while doing something I love: taking care of animals! I'm one of those people that things animals are better than humans and I will always protect them with my life. I currently work at a preschool 7:30-3:00, but depending on the commute and needs, I can stop by on my lunchbreak as well as before and after. If available, I am perfect to work weekends and overnight. I do have a few college classes that may interfere (depending on the semester at the time) depending on the needs. I am open to whatever you find your animal needs. Crating at night, you got it. Wants their dog to have someone to sleep with, you got it. Taking a 5 mile walk every day, you got it. I am used to bathing both cats and dogs no matter how difficult. I will treat your animal with the utmost respect and care that you show them.
“Brooklyn was simply amazing!! Not only took care of our sweet pup, but amazing with the home and to top it all off a Christmas / New Year’s Greetig Card with Oakley’s pic on it. We Highly, Highly recommend her!!! & can’t wait to have her back taking care of Oakley again!!”
“If I could give Rebecca 10 stars, I would—she is absolutely AMAZING!!! Rebecca stayed for 2 nights in our home with our Boston Terrier, and we could not be happier! I truly believe Lukin was disappointed to see my husband and me walk in the door instead of Rebecca. Not only did Rebecca take excellent care of Lukin, but she also left our home spotless and even took in packages for us. She was extremely communicative and provided us with updates and pictures without being prompted. I cannot praise Rebecca enough!”
“Wow, Devon is the best! She house sat for us for 3 nights and was very communicative the entire time. Provided lots of pictures of our pups on walks, playing, and sleeping. All 3 dogs were very relaxed when we got home from our trip. She also took very good care of our home and left it better than she found it. I’d give Devon 10 stars if I could!”
“We would recommend Nadya to anyone who cares about their animals! Our pup can be very high maintenance and we trust very few people to care for her. Nadya kept us updated on her care and well-being and was very accommodating to our requests. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

I highly recommend Mary Ellen.”

“Ryan is the best! She took perfect care of my 3 chihuahuas while I was on vaca.
