About: I currently work as a vet assistant and have over 2 years experience as a pet sitter for dogs and cats. I also have experience watching horses and I am willing to look after pocket pets as well as exotic animals. I am able to administer both topical and oral medication if needed. I will also tend to any housesitting duties such as watering plants, collecting mail, and cleaning. I’m currently working full-time 5-6 days a week, but I do have an hour lunch where I am able to check on pets around noon. My workday begins at 7:30 and ends at 4:30. I prefer to stay at the house that I am dogsitting for as it ensures attentive and thorough care. If I am petsitting and they only require food twice a day, then staying at the house is not necessary. However, if the dog needs to go outside right before bed, it is easier for me to stay.
“Dominick house sat and took care of my 5 year old sheepdog for 9 days while I was on vacation and he was amazing! I am always nervous about leaving my dog with anyone and it was all very last minute, but he arrived early and was very polite. He sent me pictures of my dog and made sure he had daily cuddles. I came home to a very happy pup and the house was exactly as I left it. Would absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for a responsible and responsive rover!”
About: I have always grown up with pets! From cats to dogs to hamsters, everything between! I currently have two cats of my own that are my entire world so I know what it feels like to trust others to take care of your fur babies :) I do work full time, but I am available early mornings, late evenings, and full availability on weekends to hangout with any and all friends! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll stick to your pet’s schedule, keep things neat, send plenty of updates, and make sure your furry friend gets all the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone.
“Shelbie was amazing with both of my animals! she sent photos daily and the stress of leaving my pets dissolved quickly. my cat doesn't warm up to others easily and he seemed quite comfortable with shelbie. my home was also very clean when i returned!”
About: I have been the one to take primary care of dogs and other animals since a very young age. I currently have a 10 month old puppy who I've taught to dance with me to different songs that play along with other tricks. I see dogs as everyone's best friend so I treat them with the love and kindness as if they've always been my buddy. I'm currently unemployed looking for work. My schedule is free almost every day with a few exceptions! I can make any time or place fit into my routine. I can't wait to meet and work with your furry companion. I have a young friendly Golden Doodle who always is ready to make a new friend. He has 0 instances of even barking at another dog. The dog's receive bi-hourly walks to ensure they get exercise and all the time in the world to potty in case they're potty training or may need more frequent breaks. We have plenty of puppy pads just in case too!
About: I care about animals and I’m focused more about the animals than the money and I want to make sure the customer is satisfied and happy. I get to take care of them the days I don’t go to school and I’m not forced to work hours that are inconvenient for me. I will play with pets and give them a lot of attention as well as follow any specific rules my clients will have and will treat their dogs like they want me to treat them and keep them safe.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and been the one to care and mantain them. I’ve trained 2 puppies who were potty trained and knew commands. I’ve administered flea medicine. I am currently doing GrubHub and I would create my schedule around my rover schedule so I could be home as much as possible. I would prefer when not boarding at my home, to be doing Rover related activities during the day and GrubHub at night. While doing GrubHub I would be able to make stops to take pets on walks or to potty or to just say hi! I have an extremely large backyard and I also go on daily runs and house members who love animals with lots of love to give! I’m currently just doing Grub Hub and I make my own schedule and could base it around my Rover Schedule no problem, although I do require working Grub Hub from 5-11 Friday’s and Saturday’s but would still be able to drop ins! I have a huge unfenced in yard so a tether would be required but would have lots of room to run! Daily runs and lots of love!!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve had a dog of my own until recently I dog sit for my parents when they go on vacation a couple times a year. I also am currently puppy sitting/training a couple days a week until June 2025. I’m the oldest of 4 so I was always the one who was responsible for walking, feeding and everything else dog related which in turn is what made me Love dogs. I love them more than people. I am not working so I am fully dedicated to your fur babies to play, take walks, go to the park we will even make treats together. I have a fully fenced in yard for monitored potty breaks and sun stretching time. I have a water station in the back room for the dogs use anytime, we will come up with a feed schedule together. I can crate your dog if you prefer if that’s what they are used to but not mandatory as I allow dogs on hooman spaces. They will have their own bed/toy area for comfort.

Kelly T.
“Kelly is awesome! She loves dogs - our two labs loved her immediately when we had a meet and greet with them! When she found out we love photos she sent fun photos of movie night with the dogs - of course they were snuggled up with her (one dog loves to watch TV especially and the other is a snuggler), Kelly is ver responsible and made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She stayed at the house with them and also watered plants in the garden keeping them alive despite the summer heat. She was great, not only with photos but little tidbits that we knew the dogs were loved. To top it all off, I came home and she left the yard in great condition (used our poop bags), left the house clean and had even washed the sheets and towels she had used - to me that show that above and beyond!! I hadn’t asked or expected that! You will love Kelly and so will your pups!!! Thank you Kelly!! Don’t get too busy, the boys will want to have you here whenever we have to travel away from them!!”

Laura was awesome! She took very good care of our lab, and Sammie loved her! She sent lots of pictures and updates to us while we were gone, which we so appreciated. It was so nice not to have to worry about our baby, knowing she was in very good hands. My house was spotless when we got home, too! Love her to pieces! Will most definitely have Laura back again!
