“Michelle was great. Even though she came to visit the house and all the animals, I left a long list because we're particular. She did everything perfect and made sure all the animals were fed, cleaned, and loved. Again she is great.”
“Can't recommend Heidi highly enough. She took care of my two fur babies while I was on a business trip for work, and even went the extra mile of leaving the trash for pickup on trash day, and running me to the travel plaza for the shuttle pickup on the day I left. She stayed in constant communication with me and even checked on them late when we had a derecho come through the night after I left. I will definitely be requesting her to check in on my babies again the next time I have to travel for work. Unrelated but also notable - she takes professional-level pet photos that she includes in the daily check in cards. She missed her calling as a pet photographer!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we’re so glad Ava was available to help us. Ava did a wonderful job. She is responsible, trustworthy, and if we ever need Rover again, she will be our first choice.”

“Courtney reliably came twice a day to take care of our fur baby and make sure she was well-fed, had water, and the litter box scooped. We'll definitely request Courtney for future pet sitting needs.”

“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”

About: Hi, my name is Olivia. I was looking for extra money so I figured why not do something I love? I adore all kind of animals, big or small. I have been taking care of animals for about two years now. I've watched my neighbors dogs and my friends dogs/cats. And I have always received good feedback. I am also very active so I will have no problem playing with and walking your pets! I feel like what sets me apart is that I am very passionate about animals and I don't believe in doing anything half way. Either do it above and beyond, or don't do it at all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I just got back from two years of working abroad and haven’t started my new job yet so I have plenty of free time for the time being! :) When caring for your pets, I try to care for and love them as much as you do! Also, when it comes to house sitting, I try to keep the house clean and tidy so you can return home to a neat house.
About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!

About: I do walking, snuggles, feed them, potty breaks and lots of play time! I do have a pet myself, but she stays home. I trained her all by myself. I taught her not to bark, lick the face, sit shake, stay fetch, and to love people. I'm a easy going person and I'm a animal lover myself! I hope to hear from you. I can start as soon as possible. You can also reach me at 7I also animal sit for my family and friends all the time. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me. Thank you, Jenny M.
About: My pal Argus and I are glad to watch your dog in your home or ours. We treat all dogs like family, and we love meeting new friends. I work remotely and have flexibility to help out dogs. I'm glad to quickly let you know if a booking works for my schedule. Thanks! I'm very keyed into the dogs I watch and responsive to their needs. I make some exercise a priority but make sure to be aware of how much they need. I'm very good at following any special instructions you may have too.
About: I’ve worked at a dog kennel for almost 4 years, so I know how to take care of dogs! I’d love to help you with your pets! I have a 4 year old pitbull of my own I’ve been taking care of for the past 3 years! I work at a dog kennel everyday and help take care of lab puppies from birth- 8 weeks old I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly pitbull/bulldog mix that loves to play and meet new friends and would love to keep your dog company
About: I have lived with dogs since childhood. I have had several dogs of my own, currently I have two Border Collies, one is a tripod. I am currently not working so I am available 7 days a week. I expect that will change and I will update my schedule then. I offer safety and trust to you and your animals. I am available to let them out, take them for walks, give meds, snuggles and playtime up to 3 times per day.
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
