“Hannah absolutely loves Sam. She starts getting ready for him to come half an hour before he gets here. She starts circling the door and she’ll just sit in front of the door until he shows up and after he leaves she keeps going to the door just to make sure he’s not coming back, he’s been a godsend since I broke my hip and can’t take her on her 7 mile walk anymore. I’m so grateful to have somebody that Hannah attached to so quickly. Thank you so much Sam for being Hannah‘s new best buddy.”
2. Georgia S.

4. Gabriela G.
About: My name is Gaby! I'm currently a nanny going to school to become a doula, and also recently picked up a second job. In the past I volunteered at a non-profit in Kansas City & am hoping to do some more of that this summer. I have many interests & Rover allows me the flexibility on top of doing something I love. I’ve grown up with pit bulls, but my experience is both with smaller and larger dogs so size will never be an issue. I can provide light grooming and baths if needed. When stopping in or sitting throughout the day I'll send plenty videos, pictures, and updates so you can be at ease knowing your baby is well taken care of. I’m looking forward to meeting you & your dogs! **DISCLAIMER: Although I am not highly allergic to cats and can still sit with them in the home, too much cat hair will cause my skin and throat to start itching.** As far as my schedule my office shifts are 5 hours long so depending on how far your home is from there, I will need to step out about 6 hours a day & the rest of my time will be dedicated to your baby! The care for every pet varies & during our meet & greet we can get into the specifics of what exactly you'll be needing from me.

6. Kat B.
“Kat is the best there is at taking care of our Stella. Even though she's getting paid to walk our golden retriever, she always has a sweet hello and treats for our two cats. I think I love her comments the best because I feel like I went on dog walks with her.”

They themselves are pet owners, and treat their animals like family, and they will love and care for yours the same.

11. Ste L.
About: I love animals. I grew up with cats and dogs. I sing. I believe life is an adventure, and I'm ready to try something fresh and new. Our furry family need special love and attention, and I am always happy and willing to provide that to them. This is just a stepping stone. I grew up with a number of family pets around, making an otherwise chaotic world seem more serene and peaceful. Magical even. This opportunity seems to fit into my current lifestyle perfectly. I am trustworthy, dependable, and kind. I listen more than I speak. I love to watch movies and TV. Pet care is not work, for me. I consider it play time. I perform off of pure instincts. To be quite frank, I enjoy animals. I like to spend a lot of time outdoors. But, while indoors, pets will have their own area to lounge in. Your pets will almost consider me a friend, if not family.

“Lucas is a natural with animals. They love him, and he's great with them. He takes great care and is very observant of behavior and needs to ensure our pets are well taken care of! Dogs are naturally drawn to Lucas, and he's able to keep animals calm and happy. I'd highly recommend him to take care of your favorite pup!!”
15. Cameron E.
“Cameron took care of my dog, Echo for 5 days while I was out of town and he was phenomenal! He was very quick at responding to any question we had about how Echo was doing and he would even send us photo updates of Echo. He was very responsible and intentional with following our care notes for our dog and he was so loving towards and with Echo. I would recommend him to care for your pet over and over again.”
