Tara was highly recommended to us by a neighbor and she IS incredible! Our dog enjoyed her and we felt he was safe and secure in her care! She not only fed and walked Henry, but also played with him and sent us texts, and pictures! This has been a lifesaver for us and we will definitely be using her services in the future! Thank you Tara!

Lauren was amazing! She took my Lucy on a nice long walk, played with her in our back yard and game her lots of attention. Made sure she had food and water and gave her a bone I left for her before she left. She also sent lots of pictures which made being away from her much easier!

Andrea did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was very attentive and went above and beyond our expectations for walks during the day and loving on her during every visit. Our dog loved her, and she made the whole experience worry and stress free. We will absolutely be working with her again!

About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.

About: I started off with two dogs of my own as a teenager. After so many years of joy, they're no longer with me. People are often surprised that I had a hermit crab for 10 years. He died when I went on vacation, so I am very aware of the risks we take entrusting another with the care of a beloved pet. I also have about five years experience caring for a rabbit. I miss them all dearly, but the responsibility was huge as a pet parent. So, now I'm very happy to fill in for others when they're in need. I do have a steady part-time job, which leaves me room to do what I really enjoy- caring for pets! For my first Rover gig, I provided full-time day care for a puppy, but she's all grown up now. Ideally, I would do the whole situation over again with a new puppy because being a Dog Nanny is the best and most rewarding job I have ever had-potty training and all. I prefer to have my eyes on dogs at all times. They won't be outside alone, and will not be unleashed unless we're in a safe, enclosed area. If they have snacks or toys, they'll be supervised just in case.

About: I have always had a dog as a pet and the dogs who have passed are still very much alive in my memories. They are an invaluable dispensary of love. I currently have 2 dogs of various ages that love attention and love their daily walks. Food, Snacks, Walks, Snuggles, what can be better? I have flexible hours and can work with your schedule. Contact me for details at anytime Boarding is always a great option. I am a school teacher during the year and am off in the summers. That currently means lots of attention and flexible outside time for your pets. :) I have a fenced yard with lots of space. My dogs love to run in the yard and play. I have big water bowls for the dogs to be able to stay hydrated and plenty of snacks available at the owners requests. I also have 3 different dog beds around the house that the dogs can lay in at their own convenience and comfort. During the school year I am a teacher. Until September I am taking time off to give my family and my dogs the extra time that they prefer. Currently our dogs go for about a 30-40 minute walk everyday. My son is 11 and is the main reason we had 4 dogs of our own at one time. He loves to spilling them with cuddles and run outside with them. I have a modest sized fenced in yard and currently two of my own lovable dogs. I always have dog food available and dog treats but am willing to follow any and all of the dog owners instructions. I also tend to use cleaning supplies that are non toxic, kid and pet friendly.

About: I am proud to say that I have fostered over 20 stray dogs over the past few years! I have experience with dogs of all temperaments and I do my best to cater to every dog's individual needs. I’ve helped dogs of every breed, age, and size to find their furever homes, but there is a special place in my heart for senior pups. I am happy to administer meds, care for special needs, and provide and quiet and relaxing vacation for your pets. I also have experience with Trusted Housesitters and I’ve additionally cared for cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, lizards, and my own pet tarantula. I’m currently transitioning to being back in the office full time, but have plenty of time before and after work for play time, learning tricks, and letting your pups show me around the neighborhood! I have experience with providing medications and supplements of every kind and catering to each dogs personal needs. I am able to provide daily exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love!

Katelyn was amazing with Roxy. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about how the experience would go. However, Katelyn made sure to send plenty of pictures of Roxy enjoying her drop in visits. She also left the house just like I had left it. Definitely recommend Katelyn and would use her in the future if I ever need a dog sitter or someone to drop in quick if I was ever away from the house again.
