“This is the second time we’ve used Jordyn to watch our dog in our home and she did great with her! We can tell Polly is comfortable with her and loves having her stay here. Jordyn keeps us updated and leaves the house nice and clean. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”

About: I love animals. I used to have three Shar Peis, which can be fairly temperamental, but I think I was their favorite walker. I've walked dogs with Wag for years and have cared for dogs ranging from tiny pups to large Anatolian Shepherds. I work from home most days, so having a dog or two in the house is not an issue. And, i don't mind sitting at other folks' homes, if the dogs are more comfortable in their own environment. I've recently fenced our backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence, so that visiting dogs will be secure during off-leash play. I live in a quiet neighborhood and there is a large park down the street, so walks can be quite lengthy, if the dog is up for it. I have a few chickens in a coop / run in the backyard. The app asks about my pets but then when I said ‘yes’ only allowed me to pick either ‘dog’ or ‘cat’ - and I couldn’t list birds so I couldn’t update it. 😕. Apparently Rover thinks there are only two kinds of animals??? Visits to the backyard are always supervised to keep everyone safe.

“Antonie was great watching our two doggos in our home for 10 days. She was very communicative throughout the week that we were gone and made sure to send us pictures as well! Our home was kept neat and tidy, just how we left it. Our doggos seemed very happy, well fed, and loved. I would highly recommend her services and we will be using her services again!”

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, and even a gecko—and have experience working at a petting zoo. I’m a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, so I know how important great care is. I’m comfortable giving medication, caring for senior pets, and supporting reactive pets, all while making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently in my last semester at ECC and I’m only taking a few classes, so I have plenty of free time during the week to help out! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but I’m willing to do whatever I can to keep you and your pet comfortable.

About: I’ve worked in animal healthcare as a veterinary technician for nine years and have extensive experience caring for very young and chaotic to geriatric, medically complex, and behaviorally challenging pets. I’m comfortable administering medications in all forms and following detailed care plans! I work currently in veterinary medicine but am able to care for your pets after work, on days off during the week, weekends and holidays. I have many years of experience with care for multiple species and all the intricacies that come with them! I am able to continue your pet's routine care while you are away. From staying in home, walks/enrichment/exercise, feedings, medications of all routes, and more. Whatever they need to be happy and healthy until you are home!

“How nice it is to know that when you go out of town and leave your pets that they are taken care of. Jessica took good care of my two young dogs and our home as if it was her own. She was patience to allow the dogs to warm up to her and adjusted to caring for their different personalities. She did such a good job that I hate to write this review because everyone will want her. I definitely will contact her again for future pet care. Thank you again Jessica.”

About: I have had pets for my entire life; experience with puppies and kittens all the way through senior care. Started caring for family and friend's pets over 30 years ago and have always enjoyed it and continue to! I recently went back to the office full time, but my home is still open to pets that are okay being on their own during the day for a few hours. I have a very responsible older daughter who loves helping take care of our guests during the day while I am at work. I have a very friendly English Bull Terrier (The Target Dog). At almost 8 years old she is still as goofy and playful as a puppy and loves having other pup friends to stay over and play with! I am very flexible with requests and try to make your pet feel at home by following their normal routine such as feed schedule, sleeping arrangements and crating or free roaming. Your furry companion will feel like they’re at home here!

“This was my first experience of using Rover so I was a little unsure of how it all worked but Jennifer was such a blessing to find, her knowledge and experience of dogs and rescue is invaluable. Angus was walked and played with and entertained. I was relaxed and able to enjoy my weekend away without worry. They even had an adventure with a squirrel being chased into the house !!!! Jennifer was very capable and confident and calm and was able to get the squirrel out !! much to Angus' excitement. LOL Jennifer was punctual, and left my home just as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter.”

“Our experience with Samantha was overall amazing! The day before we were due to travel, one of our cats got very sick and our travel day was actually spent taking her to an emergency vet. We didn’t know when/if we would be traveling, but Samantha was super communicative and understanding through all of the uncertainty/changing plans. We ended up cancelling our trip, but we would love to work with Samantha again in the future. One of our cats is very skittish around new people, but she let Samantha pet her quite quickly so I was grateful to find someone Baby Grace was comfortable with.”

About: I have worked at the animal shelter for the past 4 years when home from college and I have 4 dogs of my own at home :) I love all animals especially dogs I have a 9-5 during the week with flexible hours giving me time to care for animals before and after work. I also work remote on Wednesdays and Fridays so I am free anytime those days and weekends to care for animals. I have a fenced in yard and dogs of my own that your dogs can play with. I can also crate your dog or do any other requests that the animal would normally do in their own home.
