About: I’ve been a genuine animal lover since childhood, and have deeply cared for my pets, as well as, friends and neighbors pets, for several years. I am currently in nursing school, working part time, so I will have days that are completely open for some much needed fun and snuggles!

I follow all pet parents instructions and like to remain in communication with pet parents about how they are doing.
6. Joshua S.
“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”
7. Robyn W.
“Robyn has so much love for animals. I can’t think of someone more perfect that I would trust my pet with. She treats her dogs so well. She truly has a natural gift for taking care of dogs. Dogs respond well to her and I believe it’s because of her calm, loving approach. I’ve known Robyn for 10 years and she has always treated her own dogs like they’re her babies. Her dogs are so well trained and behave beautifully. Robyn is very attentive to a any and all dogs needs. I believe she would be a true compliment to rover.com”
8. Krystle M.
“Ive known Krystle for about 3 years now, and since then her love for animals have never failed to amaze me. I wish everyone in this world had the same love, care, compassion, and sympathy for animals that Krystle does. She has 2 animals of her own, and she treats them as if they are her own children. I would say even better then some may treat their own children. She makes sure they always have an abundance of toys to keep them entertained when she is not actively playing with them. Additionally, Krystle makes sure they have nothing but the best food available to them. Krystle spends time researching ingredients in the food she gives her pets by making sure there are no fillers, additives, preservatives, ect. buying organic despite the cost. This is one of the many things i admire about her. If you could look into Krystles eyes when around an animal, any animal, then you would see her true love for them. Krystle has an abundance of love to give, and i strongly believe that she would adopt and care for every anima in this world if she could.”

12. Lexi M.
About: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!

15. Vince P.
About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.
