“Jill took care of Lady our dog for 8 days. She did a three time check in for us, and did a wonderful job for us. We would highly recommend her and plan on using her in the future.”
About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.
“I would definitely recommend Marjorie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! She is so kind and took great care of our cat and dog while we were gone. She communicated with us often and provided great pictures and updates about our pets. I’d 100% rebook with her in the future.”

So if you're looking for a trustworthy pet sitter feel free to shoot me a message. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! I am currently a freshman at TTU majoring in Animal Science, with lots of free time on my hands. My availability is different each day so just shoot me a message and we can get a time figured out!

“We had such an amazing experience with Kassandra during our wedding weekend! 🐾🤍 Leaving our two babies while traveling for our wedding was something I was honestly a little nervous about, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated our dogs like her own. We received updates and check-ins, which meant so much to us and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding without constantly worrying about how our babies were doing. It was such a relief knowing they were safe, happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. Our dogs clearly had a great time and were comfortable with her, which says everything! I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed our babies during such a special weekend for us. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving toward their pets. We will definitely be using her again! 🐶❤️ Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies! You gave us one less thing to worry about during our wedding weekend, and we truly appreciate it! 💍🐾”

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
