Lexi did great with Dove and gave us updates as she checked on our dog for a couple walks while we were out of town. It was an incredibly hot day and she took care of her to make sure she got outside but didn’t overheat.

About: I’ve house sat, animal sat, and dog walked since I was a teen for friends and family. I grew up on a small farm in middle of nowhere Alaska, so I have gotten to experience taking care of multiple different types of animals. I love all furry friends and even have a cat of my own, her name is Nina she is 3 years old and my best friend. If you choose me to look after your fur pal, I promise to love and care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time on my hands and would love to share it with your fur pal! I am available for walking and house/animal sitting. Integrity and honesty are my biggest policies. Communication is always a must, even about the little things to ensure the safety of you, your fur baby, and your home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as early as I can remember. I grew up with and absolutely love both. I have 2 cats of my own and a very energetic golden retriever puppy. I have skills from 4-H with basic dog training, and I am used to administering medications with my cats and puppy. I have been training my puppy from the beginning so I have basic training skills when it comes to dogs. I am a registered nurse that works three 12 hour shifts a week. My calendar will be updated based on my varying schedule. When I’m not working, I love being outside with my dog. I am always willing to help the days I don’t work because having healthy and happy animals makes me happy. Since recently purchasing our first home, the main priority is getting that fence installed for my golden girl! Hoping to provide your pets with comfort as their humans maintain their busy lives!

I could not be more happy with Grace! This has been my first time using Rover and I’m a worried dog mom (with so many instructions), but little did I know that Grace is the perfect person to take care of my boy. She is so understanding and thorough, and you can tell that her #1 priority is the safety and health of a pet in her care. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to all pet parents!

About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!

About: I have cats and dogs my whole life and I've learned a lot about them. Growing up as a child I learned many things from my mom teaching me about our animals, and wanting to know more because of my love for them. I give animals all the love I have, everytime I see a dog or cat I instantly want to pet them! My love for your animal(s) will be like you loving your own! I am currently working on a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to help with your animals! I am pretty open everyday but some things might depend on the day! I haven't yet but I would take care of your animal like my own. I currently have two cats and I love them so much! I would love your pets just as much not only at my house but also when I'm with them in your home!

About: I genuinely care about the well being of every dog in my care. I will treat every dog as if it was my own, which means lots of treats(if allowed) and lots of pets, belly scratches and cuddles(if tolerated). I am currently working part-time and healing. Unfortunately financially I need more income so I thought “why not try Rover and spend some time with dogs(which I love doing!)”. So ultimately I will make this fit into my schedule where I can. I’m pretty flexible currently. Give me a chance and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I ask clients to leave detailed instructions. I want to make sure that while you are gone your dogs/cats routine stays as close to normal as possible! If that means your dog goes to paws n pints for a play date on Wednesday @2 then I’ll load up lassie in the car and get there! If your cat gets 3 treats at 3pm everyday then we will make it happen! All joking aside, I aim to please!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

Jen did a great job with Dove. We left Dove with her for a few days of walking, and she sent us updates and took care of her as if she were her own. Dove was sad to see her leave at her meet-and-greet and is wondering when she’ll get lovely, long walks with Jen again. She may be new to the Rover platform, but you can tell she’s been around dogs for years and knows how to take care of them. We’d recommend her.

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

About: I have played and watched cats since I was a little girl and dogs since I have been an adult. I love animals and treat my Long Hair German Shepherd, Mercedes, like my first daughter. I am usually able to sense what the animal is trying to say. I am very empathetic and want everyone, animals included, to feel comfortable in my home. I only go to the office two days a week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, all other days I am working from home and allow Mercedes as many trips outside as she wants. We also take time on nice days to play in the yard or take walks. I have a 3 year old who currently runs our house. Mercedes knows not to mess with the human toys or food. Any animal who comes to my house needs to be okay with toddlers. I have comfortable furniture that animals are allowed on, lots of areas to be alone if needed, and different sleeping areas available. I live on a quiet street.
