About: I'm very patient and experienced with fur babies of all sizes and kinds. I can handle watching dogs twice my size. I'm understanding that every fur baby is different and you have to treat them accordingly so they can become comfortable around you. I understand it can be difficult trusting people to care for them and will ensure they are safe and receive best care and time with me. I will treat your fur baby as I would want someone to treat mine. l work from home and do online schooling due to this my schedule is flexible. I’m available to watch your fur baby for entire duration if needed. I take them out for a walk as often as needed . If they take medicine I don’t mind administering it to your fur baby. I will stimulate their mind with different thinking games and treats. They will learn different commands if they don't know them already. I even take them to vet visit if needed throughout the duration of time I’m watching them.

Imani has never met a pet she doesn't love. She is patient and professional and I cannot recommend her enough. She treats all pets like they are her own and she has a special ability for getting pets to trust her. She will always be on the top of my list when I am in need of someone to take care of my dog.

There are no words too describe how wonderful Candace was with our two Girls (dogs)! They were very well taken care of in the absence of their parents and all directions were followed perfectly! Have no doubts in booking Candace for your pet sitting needs! I will definitely be reaching out to Rover again and selecting her for all my future needs! Becky

Highly recommend Anna! We have a rescue who is still pretty suspicious of strangers. Anna took time to meet with us before the day she was scheduled, and was very loving to Herky from the start. During the drop in and walk, Anna kept in ongoing communication with me and sent pictures. I really appreciated that, especially since this was the first time they were together alone. Anna was also flexible with the time, and really went the extra mile to make it work for our schedule.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters and walkers is my 20 years of hands on experience. For the last 12 years, I’ve care for multiple dogs of my own - currently 2 Frenchies and 2 Malteses - handling everything from from training to even grooming. I also had the privilege of rehabilitating my best friends Boxer while he was deployed in Africa. In just 6 months, I helped her become well socialized and comfortable enough to enjoy other dogs and dog parks. I understand dogs, care for them like family, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule which allows me to get up and go when needed. I am available whenever your dogs need a break from sleeping and lounging. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I would treat your dog as if it was my own with love, care and a lot of fun!

About: I have been in the dog sitting/walking business for several years on 'WAG!' prior to starting my journey here on ‘Rover’. I have a 3 yr old Maltese/chihuahua mix who is full of energy and ready to make new friends, big or small! I’ve also previously boarded a cat for an entire summer, so I have a lot of experience with BOTH! I am currently working remote, so i'll have plenty of time to play, walk and tend to your dogs needs. I can accommodate any feeding schedule or special arrangements upon request. I live in a very safe, dog friendly neighborhood. There is also a park nearby in walking distance. My home is clean and the grass is well kept.

Hailey is a wonderful dog sitter. She came over for the fourth of July to watch my 4 dogs. They are afraid of fireworks and she did great keeping the calm. She stayed at my home for 3 days and left the home in a better state than when she arrived. Could not be happier with her service!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for them! I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, including my current black Labrador, and at 25 years old, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. In college, I helped care for five different cats belonging to my roommates over four years, giving me experience with feline companions as well. What sets me apart is my dedication to meeting each pet’s unique needs. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior cats, and senior dogs, and I’m skilled at administering medications and following precise feeding instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment time, and mental stimulation, and I’m happy to continue any established training routines. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to every pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or ensuring they feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d be thrilled to provide loving care for your pets! I work full-time but am passionate about caring for pets in my free time. I’m available for sittings and check-ins on weekends and weekday evenings after 4 PM. I aim to provide flexible and reliable care to fit your schedule and your pet's needs. I prioritize safety and trust in all my pet care services. I’ll carefully follow your instructions to maintain your pet’s routine and ensure they feel secure in their home environment. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

About: I have been in the vet field for awhile since 2016. I am a veterinary nurse at an emergency hospital currently. I treat hospitalized patients. I walk, feed, bathe if needed and care for patients when treatment and care is needed. I am free for services typically from Sunday through Wednesdays. I work full time at my regular job Thursday through Saturday. I have my own pet and so I have no issues incorporating animals in my everyday life. I am used to medicating pets at work, including my own when medications are required. Walking on leash and not interacting with near by dogs and avoiding just because every dog is not friendly or sanitary.
