1. Marjorie P.
“While I was gone for a week, Marjorie took care of my cats; dog; and beardie. Looking back on the camera, she was nice and gentle with all of them; they took to her easily. However, the best part is her free estimates. She is willing to sit down and meet with you and your critters before you decide if she would be a good fit. Trust me, she is!”

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs to little dogs and even cats since I was very young. I have some knowledge of veterinary care as I’ve interned at vet clinics and have worked at an animal shelter. I’m also in college studying animal science:) I’m currently unemployed as I’m focusing on my academics. But I still want to gain experience and be around animals. So I am available anytime weekdays or weekends. So I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I would provide care to your pets exactly how you would. I would treat them as if they’re my pets and give them plenty of love.

About: I am a fur mom so I know how important dogs and cats are to a family. I have a full knowledge of what kind of care and time they require. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for 2 and half years where I was responsible for walks, feeding, grooming, giving vaccines, and just loving on around 100 cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve had experience with any breed of dog that you could possibly think of. My dogs and cats are my babies so let me share the love and put your mind at ease when you are away. I will always treat them with the upmost care. So please consider me to be able to love and protect your babies when you are working or on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom, my schedule will allow me to be available for your pet 24/7 to ensure they are getting the best care. I have a sweet dog to keep yours company. I also have a kennel available if that is needed for your dog. I always have treats on hand!

14. Autumn M.
“To Whom It May Concern, I have been Autumn M. Sister-in-law for 6 years and a friend for 10+ years. She has always loved animals and enjoys helping others with attending to or training pets to respond to human commands. When I was having a hard time with both of my dogs fighting over food, she came by my home with toys and treats to help me train my dogs to get along better. She contacts me occasionally to see how the dogs are doing and to contact her if I have any questions. When Autumn worked for PAWSitive Pet Perfection, there was a client that no longer wanted their dog because he was aggressive. So she took him home because she didn’t work for a shelter and had trained him and gave him love. Without reservation, I recommend Autumn to work at Rover.com and she will give unconditional love to pets.”
15. Isabella K.
“Thankful for Isabella’s expert care! I have a dog who doesn’t have the best manners and is not keen on strangers but Isabella has been undeterred by my pups somewhat difficult nature. She has been dedicated to making friends with my Susie as well as offering care and comfort to my aging kitty. Honest and hardworking, I’ve not once worried about Isabella having access to my home and fur children because I know she loves animals as much as I do!”

About: I grew up around animals of all kinds- from dogs to iguanas to chickens. At 18 I got my own place and rescued 2 puppies. Fast forward 2 years, I fostered 2 new pups- ended up keeping 1 and gifting my parents with the other. I can take your dog for walks, to the park, hiking, check on them at home.. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I have such a deep passion for working with animals and I will nurture yours as if they were my own. I look forward to giving your dogs the proper care and love they need while you’re away! I work remote and live in town which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability. I have 3 dogs (10yr, 8yr and 5.5yr) so I'm super comfortable with feeding/walking/playing with animals. I live in an apartment with a huge back yard area. I also have an SUV which I can take your pups to the park or hiking if that's something you'd be interested in!
