“Jeffrey takes great care of our pup, Tia. We used him for visits and walks prior to our most recent week vacation. We recently went away for a week and Jeffrey stayed at our home. He followed any/all directions we had left for our dog and kept us in the loop daily when we checked in. We trust him to stay in our home and take great care of our dog. Our dog is typically anxious and when we got home from our trip, we saw that Tia ate very well while we were gone which is sometimes a struggle when we leave her. We were very happy with her care. We look forward to continuing to use Jeffrey for future trips and daily walks.”


“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”

I knew I have always wanted to do something like this but, was not sure exactly where to go. If you did not catch my name, I am Joe and am happy to start helping out. When I am home I am always walking the dogs and also love to throw the ball around and run with both of my dogs. As said previously I walk and play with my pups and they love to run and stay active just like myself and they have a ton of energy.

About: My very first job was at a doggy daycare, where I cared for all types of dogs for years. This included playing with them, feeding them, picking up after them and bathing them. This job included a lot of patience and required a lot of passion for pet care. I gained a lot of quality experience caring for dogs of many breeds. To this day it has been one of the more fulfilling jobs I've ever had. In addition to that, I grew up with a dog (half poodle, half bichon frise) who lived until 16. Now, I have a fur niece who is 9 and love her as if she is my own! Between working in the doggy daycare industry, growing up with my own, and my overall huge love for dogs, I would be honored to care for any dog I could. Additionally, if I am dog sitting at my house, I have a big backyard for them to play in! I get home from work around 1pm each day at the latest, so I have plenty of time during the day to spend time and take care of the dog. I live in a standalone house on a quiet street. I have a big backyard that is partially fenced but I would always stay outside with them considering the surrounding woods.

“Jessie is simply wonderful to have watch your fur fam!! She is responsible, communicative, and just a pleasure to work with. Will 100% be reaching out again in the future!!!”


About: Growing up, my very first chores were dog- related, so animal care has always been integral in my life. While I sadly no longer have any furry friends of my own, I am an animal person at heart. I’ve pet-sat for family, neighbors, friends, Rover clients, for pets of all breeds and sizes, and I’m very comfortable around any dogs. I grew up with 2 German-shorthaired pointers, and I was responsible for their care daily before and after school. As we (me and the dogs!) all got older, I was the primary caretaker of them in their senior years, so I’m very familiar with the struggles and ailments that come with elderly dogs. I am strong enough to lift most dogs if stairs are any issue- our dogs were around 60-70lbs. I have had roommates with cats who I’ve become very close with. I’ve always loved cats, so learning to care for them and earning their trust was so exciting. I’ve cared for the cats for a week’s time before, so would feel comfortable caring for cats as well. I love pet sitting- it’s nice to have a furry friend to visit since I lack one in my own family at the moment! Any client of mine gets all the pets and attention they could ever dream up. I am also very active, and I walk or run every day, so having a companion there is a bonus for us both! I look forward to your consideration, and if you have any questions about my experience or anything please let me know. I am currently between full-time jobs but keeping my calendar updated very frequently with my summer availability as I am hoping to pick up work either ongoing or on a one-time basis! Depending on the comfort of each pet, I always spend some time introducing myself and getting to know them at first. Spend some time petting them and getting them comfortable with my presence in their space, and next playing with them if they’re up for it. Once they know they can trust me, we’ll take the day ahead together and they’ll alternate resting, playing with toys, and walking outside. I also love to share photos with owners, so I’ll be sure to keep you posted on what we’re up to.


“Rich is very responsible, he took care of Shiraz in our home while we were away. He spent lots of time with Shiraz so that he wouldn’t have to be crated, we were very grateful for him.”


About: My love for animals is truly unmatched. I cared for my husky from middle school until her passing, feeding, walking, and even giving her medicine from injections. I've also done the same for cats. That heads on experience taught me patience, responsibility, and deep compassion. I understand how much pets mean to their families and treat every animal like my own, whether it's a puppy or a senior needing special care. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Whether it's feeding, walking, or apending time with animals, I truly enjoy every moment. I make sure pets feel safe, loved and well cared for, no matter what my day looks like. My schedule is flexible during the morning, so I'm able to give pets the attention and time they deserve throughout the day and week. In a client’s home, I make sure to keep pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine whether it’s feeding times, walks, play, or medication. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I give lots of love, attention, and gentle care, especially for pets who may be anxious when their owners are away. I always keep communication open with updates and photos so you feel at ease while you're away.
