“Allana exceeded expectations and helped put my mind at ease while my dog was home alone. She's an excellent communicator with prompt responses. Will definitely utilize her again in the future if a situation arises.”

About: Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I do have limited availability for weekends until April 2026, but if your pets are flexible - we can make it work! Just ask ❤️ I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! FRIDAY: I have limited availability in the afternoon. I will be available 6am to 3pm. And will be available again for a late night visit at 11pm (earlier if I am able). *SAT/SUNDAY* I AM available for an early morning visit (6:00am) and then anytime after 4:30pm-9:30 pm I'm looking for part-time work as I want to go back to school this fall. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too. In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.
“We needed someone to walk our GSD at lunchtime for us. My daughter suggested using the Rover app. We were so lucky to have found Chloe! Hey and my fur baby hit it right off. Chloe is absolutely wonderful! Very prompt and great communication ! We appreciate all she does for us and our Jameson, we asked her to dog sit as well. She loves our fur baby and she loves her too! Thank you Chloe!!!”
“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

I mainly work nights so I get off anywhere between 9 and 11pm. So when trying to schedule check ins I would recommend scheduling the first check in later in the morning so there is less time in between each check in.

About: I have taken care of pets, my own and others, since I was very young. Family and friends rely on me regularly to care for their fur babies. Being retired allows me to be available most days.

For cats, the same minus the walks. I send photos and updates to clients.

I follow instructions set by owners depending on how strict you would like to be. I can normally get a dogs vibe and learn who I have to be slow and gentle with and which dog is super friendly and ready to play right away! I follow set times for feedings, vitamins, meds, etc.

About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).
About: I've had multiple dogs since I was a child and was the primary caretaker for both my dogs and for my neighbors. I always enjoyed it and would love to continue to take care of pets in my free time. I work full time with a relatively consistent schedule and always am able to balance it with my own dog and would love to do it for other pets. I take my dog on daily walks or on adventures to near by places and I would love to do the same with your dog, especially if they have a favorite spot they love to explore. I keep a close eye on my dog to make sure he is not chewing or swallowing anything he shouldn't be while he is playing independently. With clients, I like to keep the dog active and use appropriate toys to play with them. If needed, I do give baths or wipe down paws. I administer food and certain medications. I have experience with diabetic pets and am comfortable with insulin injections.
About: I love dogs. LOVE! I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up, around me everywhere from every size imaginable! I have had a few senior animals and have loved them and treated them so kind and sweetly! I’d love to watch any dog you have! I have 3 dogs my self and would love to help people who need help with there animals! I love to help people and I love making sure animals feel loved when things are happening in anyone’s life! I am pretty open with whatever is needed for your animals! Just tell me what you like and I’ll make sure they are safe, fed, and happy!
About: I have taken care of all sizes and various breeds of dogs and cats including from the puppy / Kitten phase until they have reached their senior years. I have had pets from dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs since I was 8 years old and taken care of friends / families pets since that age as well. Including walking, feeding, bathing, and giving routine medicines. I am currently preparing for my board exams and have a relaxed schedule with online work. I have plenty of time to check in and play with your critters throughout the day. I would also be willing to house sit during the week or weekend. I enjoy taking my breaks from work or studying by dropping in on or walking your critters. 😊 In my clients home I would love to keep your pets routines as close to normal as possible to reduce stress on your critters. Whether that is play time, cuddles, bath week, etc.. I would enjoy spending time with them and try to keep the same routine as close as possible to make them cozy. I want to love them like I love my own pets. In my home I have a fenced in back yard but also live in subdivision where I can do plenty of walking for them. I have a tall gate should they need to be separated from my 2 cats until acclimated.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement (potty routines, leash manners, crate comfort, and positive reinforcement), as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, gentle handling, medication reminders, and close monitoring. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes in behavior or health, and I prioritize clear communication with owners, regular updates, photos, and notes so you always feel at ease. Whether it’s high-energy play, slow senior strolls, or maintaining training consistency, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m an online college student at Jefferson State, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my classes and coursework around pet care responsibilities. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely potty breaks, feeding on schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. This flexibility is especially helpful for puppies who need frequent check ins and senior pets who benefit from routine and supervision. I structure my study time around the pets in my care rather than the other way around, so their needs always come first. This setup allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for the pets I’m caring for throughout the week. I provide attentive, individualized care with pets that are in my client’s home, and I always follow the routine and preferences you set. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure litter boxes, yards, and feeding areas stay clean, administer medications if needed, and give plenty of affection and enrichment. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates with photos and notes.
About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on the weekends and all day on the weekends. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-2pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a mobile cage I don’t mind having it inside as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, etc.).
