“Gina is the best. We have 2 bigger dogs and she handles them great. We don’t worry at all when they are in her hands and we’ve even taken longer trips up to 5 days.

About: I love dogs!! I live alone and it's nice to have company. Be sure I like to spoil them and take care of all their needs. I usually make appointments as early as possible so I can be free for daytime hours. I babysit my great nephew who's 4 and can come with me too. I have a fenced in back yard and lots of walking paths in my home. They are welcomed on the furniture if you don't mind.

About: i have taken care of several breeds of dogs from the bichon’s to mastiffs! I have a beagle/shar pei mix who is 12 years old and a pit bull who is 2. We have 4 cats and I am an animal lover through and through! i am a single mom of 2 and work in the school system, so my availability is open during busy holiday breaks and long weekends. I have weekends free and most week nights! I am very willing to stop in on my lunch breaks as well during the work week. I will always respect the home of my client and their animals. We will go over any wants and needs and you don’t have to worry about anything else while you are gone! I am a Rover user myself and understand how important it is to feel stress free and in good hands when you are gone!

About: I have always taken care of my families pets. When I was 5 I rescued a small kitten. It needed a lot of care and attention. I bottle fed her and made sure she got all her medications. When I turned 19 I was able to get my first dog. He is a high energy bundle of fluff and love. He injured his leg. I made sure that he received extra care and attention so that he could get back to chasing off those dangerous squirrels again. 😅. I believe pets are an important part of anyone's family, and I love seeing them happy. I am pretty open as far as my schedule goes. Looking to make this a career. Message me and we can set up a time. I will work with you. I am open for a long term arrangement. I can make sure your pet spends time outside. We will go for a walk. I can make sure they have plenty of food and water, as well as any medication they need. I can also give them a bath if you would like. I want to make sure they have a fulfilling playful experience.

About: We have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as we can remember. We recently raised a litter of 9 Australian Sheppards in my home. We also have a lot of experience with cats! We are reliable and caring people. True animal lovers. Everyone that knows us knows that we spoil our dogs and treat them like family (probably even better). I am a CNA of 3 years and currently in nursing school. My boyfriend, Skyler, (who grew up on a farm) will also help care for your fur baby. We do not have a fenced yard but we have a long dog run that runs from one end of my yard to the other. We live in the country on 1.5 acres. We would love to take your dog on a walk and explore the woods behind my house! We have two friendly dogs (they love cats too) that will be your animal’s new best friend! We will treat your dogs like they are apart of our family. No crates or cages unless told to. We have several comfy couches and beds for your dogs to take naps on. They will love their stay with us!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

Robin B.
“I've known Robin for over a year. In that time I have had the oppertunity to watch Robin care for her own animals. She has two cats & a dog. She has done a remarkable job taking care of her fur babbies. They want for nothing. She makes sure they are clean, healthy & happy. Robin has to give her dog Kiba allergy pills twice a day. She never misses & he gets them at the same time every day, religiously. Not only that, Robin has her dog convinced he is getting a special treat. Her dog gets walks twice a day. Her cats have tall cat condos & plenty of vertical space to call their own. I have a service dog & I am extreamly over protective. Due to my illness I am not always able to give 100% care I feel my Bandit deserves. Robin has helped take care of him several times & at least twice while I was in the hospital for over4 days (one stay-10 days) I can't afford to send Robin to train as a second handler. She was willing to listen & practice my commands, hand signals, routines, & maintenance. It was because of her willingness to work so hard that when I needed help I was able to count on Robin to help take care of Bandit. Robin was able to bring Bandit to me when I was in the hospital. They weren't thilled to have him there so Robin would take him home with her after our visit. (I was generaly half out of it any way.) She maintained his training, knowing any dog can pick up bad habits from other dogs. She kept him with the family & away from the other dogs as much as possible. She also took him with her when she went out shopping etc. I Would definately reccomend Robin for any job where she was working with animals.”
