“Estefania has been polite and prompt and most importantly, great with our dog! She's an adult dog we adopted from a shelter just a few weeks ago so she's still quite timid, but Estefania has been great with her.”

About: Working in the animal welfare field for a few years now has allowed me to obtain lots of skills other sitters may not obtain. Need to give your pet medication as you are gone? No problem for this experienced veterinary technician! Have an additional set of ease, for you know that your pet is with a sitter that has been trained in first aid, CPR, and even anesthesia! I know what to look for when your pet is staying outside of home. With time I have for my online college courses, I can have the best of both worlds. Sitting your pet while also furthering my education simultaneously. Your pet will truly enjoy my two sided fully fenced backyard! Lots of room to run around and chase a ball or chill on the patio if wanted. Fortunately, pets are allowed on my couch as well, allowing them to snuggle and have comfortablity in my home.

“Kiersten is an earnest, kind, joyful dog lover. She is very easy to work with, and our 1 year old dog looks forward to her visit!”

“Zoryna and Denis come as a pair and we could not be happier with them. They are terrific with Freya and she anxiously awaits them every walk day. Highly recommend them”

“Melissa is great with our dog, I felt better knowing she was there to take him for a walk and give him love while we were at work. Getting a report of where she walked our dog and having a picture sent to us gave me comfort :) Hope to make her our regular dog walker!!!”

About: In my life outside of Rover, I’m a therapist for humans — but taking care of dogs is therapeutic for me! I have had pets all my life -- cats, dogs, hermit crabs, fish, and horses. I have my own pup that I love more than anything and live in a cat household with 4 kitties. I am very experienced in caring for animals and have pet sit for friends and family while they are away. My friend said "Anyone else, I would be worried, but I'm not worried about you taking care of my dog...I see how much you love yours and how well you treat her, so I have absolutely concerns going out of town." Current people therapist looking to get therapy from animals by helping you! I have a flexible schedule and love animals. Able to pet sit, drop by, or dog walk! My home has too many cats (4) and one dog so I would pet sit in your home, treating it as if I were a guest and treating your dog(s) or cat(s) like I treat mine! (which means a lot of love)

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.

About: I personally have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have a love for animals ever since I was little. I have experience dog walking for 6+ years and I would love to help out anyone who needs me! I currently am a full time medical assistant at a dermatology clinic. I have gaps in my schedule that I would love to fill with dog walking throughout the week. I have every Wednesday off and I have availability during the evenings. I do not work on the weekends! I want clients to feel very comfortable when I provide service, so I will give my number upon request. Feel free to text me anytime if there are any concerns or questions!!

“Rebecca was great. She walked Zara twice on this day and was very communicative about my dog's time with her. Highly recommend and will be booking again”

About: I’m a retired nurse who now wants to turn my nurturing skills to animals! I have had dogs and cats for many years (currently one dog) and have cared for others’ pets as well. I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs. My dog Rocky and I are excited at the thought of having your pet in our home! We promise to taking loving care of your fur baby. I am usually home other than watching my grandchildren several hours a week. This is a flexible arrangement which allows me to frequently check in at home. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep our guests company. I can accommodate pad trained dogs as well as outdoor trained.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding for a year. I have experience with all different breeds of dogs. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with your busy schedule. I have some experience with animals on medications. I’m organized and always on time. You can always depend on me to make sure your furry friend is always taken care of. I’ll make sure to send you updates about your dog. I’ll make sure your dog has let out some pent up energy. I’m super playful and loving with all dogs and will give them extra love for you. I love all animals and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work full time remotely so I have time to be with your family member all the time if needed. I work 8-4 where it’s flexible timing. I believe all animals deserve love and affection. I’m patient if your furry friend needs more time to warm up to me or if they need space. I live in an animal friendly apartment complex with plenty of open grass and a playground down the street that your pet will enjoy.

“Brian is always so willing to care for Simon and he does a great job at sharing updates and being communicative. I fully trust that Simon is in great care with him. :)”

About: Hi Pet Parents! My husband’s “cat and certain dogs” allergy has evolved into a full blown, dangerous asthma situation with all fur babies. (Yes, he’s tried the inhalers, etc). It has become painfully clear, having pets with dander in our home is impossible. I DO love my husband, but I miss having fur babies around! As someone who has so much LOVE for and experience with animals, I have always helped others with their pets. It was a JOY to me even when I had pets of my own! I have found myself offering to walk friends’ dogs because I miss my own. It suddenly hit me I should sign up with Rover, so I can spend some time with pets looking for attention while their people are out. I have always had four-legged fur pets, but also fish, frogs and lizards and more. I have saved baby birds, random stray, sick and/or injured animals and have domesticated several feral cats. My interest in and care for all animals is constant. I am a Registered Nurse for humans, so I have extra knowledge, comfort and comprehension regarding medications. Between being an RN and a MOM, I’ve got the bases covered on attention to details, noticing subtle changes in pet’s behaviors and the art of double/triple checking things. While my motivation to sign up with Rover was my love for animals and a sincere selfish need to love some dogs and cats, my resume has me very prepared to manage my business and communications professionally. I have also hired sitters for my own pets during travel or long work days and know the awkward discomfort about having someone in my home and/or taking my pet somewhere. “Will they be as careful as I am so my cat doesn’t escape when they open the door?” Or “will they pay attention on the walk with other pets or kids are around? What if my dog gets away because they’re not being careful?” Or, as a former owner of a dog with a sensitive tummy, “do they get it that she CAN’T EAT ANYTHING on their walk - will they pay close enough attention?” Pet care can be a worry to distraction, when you could feel so at ease you actually forget someone else is coming in! When time allows, please tell me your typical routine and commands used, if your dog has allergies, takes medications, an injury, personality triggers. We will talk about whatever is specific to your fur family member, so I can provide the very best experience possible for both of you. In the case of an emergency or special circumstance when the luxury of time is not there to discuss details, you need a sitter who feels comfortable stepping in with your pet and caring for them with love, respect and confidence in your absence. I am your person! Whether your fur family members are dogs or cats, I will love them as my own. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pets! *Please Note* my children are 7 and 9 years old. They LOVE animals. Your pets will be loved and very well socialized by them, which is a bonus for most. That said, many pups are not at all interested in kids or the noise that they bring. If your pup just does not enjoy kids, this Doggy Day Care location would not be a comfortable fit for them. If your young puppy needs the socialization, we’ve got you covered! Due to my husband’s allergies, we cannot book overnights.

About: If you ask anyone animals are my favorite thing! I’ll treat your dog as my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!! I’m currently working part time, so I’m flexible are all the walks and needs your dog will need! I’m available all through out the week! Unfortunately I’m not able to bring your furry friends where I live, but am available to come over to the clients house when needed for the pet!
