About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as taken family friends dogs on walks and runs. I am currently training for a half marathon, so if your dogs loves long runs or long walks I would love to help them get outside and exercise. I currently am working part time on top of school. Most days I can take dogs on a walk or run in the morning to later afternoon! I currently live in an apartment where pets are not allowed, so for now I will stick to taking dogs on walks and runs whether that’s around a safe neighborhood or at a park.

About: I joined Rover to help feed my love of multiple dogs! Since I travel occasionally, managing one dog full-time is enough for me. However, I grew up with 3 to 4 dogs on average. Choose me and your dog will have all the love and attention! I’m in my 30’s and work from home remotely M-F. I volunteer at multiple rescues, so have recent experience with different dog sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I use to be an AKC Junior Handler in dog shows. My personal dog experience ranges from Papillons, Lab/Golden Retriever mixes, Goldendoodles, and a Doberman. I’ve also owned multiple cats growing up, so are also available for feline drop-ins. I even have experience with tiger cubs! I spend a lot of time with my dog and will give your dog the same attention. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnights. I currently work remotely from home so have a pretty open schedule to come take care of your pup at your home or housesit during the week. I take care of your pets at your home so safety is not an issue. This gives my customers an ease of mind that their animal is in it’s normal environment.

Storm was an absolutely incredible pet sitter! She was very easy to contact and gave lots of updates while I was out of town and my dog loved her. :) He even got a handmade report card at the end of her stay! I had such peace of mind knowing he was in her care.

About: I am an animal lover. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for about 20 years total. My "children" are my 3 cats and German Shepherd. I will treat your animal like my own. I do home visits, home stays, and walks. Don't put off your vacation because you don't want to leave your beloved animals. Let me take care of them! Thank you! - Samantha I am currently a remote freelance graphic designer and this allows me to set my own schedule and have flexibility. My husband and I do not currently have children so that also allows me to have a more open schedule without interruptions. I am not a person who has pets without considering their needs and happiness. I play with them, make sure they get medical care, medication, and make sure they feel safe and loved with cuddle time. I know that having a pet is a responsibility and a privilege.

About: I have worked with animals off and on my whole life. I’ve had four dogs growing up including my current dog. I do have experience with epilepsy since my current dog does have it. I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.
