“Elliot was great! This was the second time he helped us out with dog sitting our two big dogs. He was very communicative and flexible with his hours. The dogs obviously loved him. I highly recommend him if you are looking for extended pet/house sitting.”
“This was the 2nd time that Wendy watched my dog, and I couldn't be happier with how it went! She was very communicative and responsive to any concerns or needs I had around scheduling or care for my dog. I came back to a happy and healthy fur-baby!”
“I wish I could give more stars, your pets will love Jennifer. Our two pups had never been boarded and we had to find someone to take care of them while we had an emergency out of town stay. She did such a great job housesitting and caring for them. When we arrived home they were happy to see us but acted like we had never left which was a huge relief to us. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve had over 50 years of caring for many breeds of dogs, including my own. I am respectful of others homes and can be trusted to give loving care to your dogs.

I may need to leave for an hour two at times for health appts. and going to our home to let our own dog out for a bit. I am flexible on how to care for your dogs in your home, including using a crate. I will respect your current ways of sharing your home with your dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.
About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!
“I’ve had so many awful experiences with walkers which has lead me to be distrustful to all walkers. I told Samantha some of this and that I wanted updates and she surpassed every last one of my expectations! She went above and beyond with time spent, communication etc etc. highly recommend.”

I will follow all the instructions listed for me to do. I like to make sure the house is spotless when the owners get home so they can relax. I will take care of the animals by doing all I can to make sure they feel safe and cared for as well.

About: I've taken care of dogs for years in all stage of life. I'm not afraid do give them medicine if they need it. I love walking so it's always nice to have buddy with me. I also have experience with senior dog. I get up do around check for my own fur babies. Refill they bowls and give them one of their berry biscuits then I will take them out for a walk before I leave for work. I go by what the clients want, if they have specific routine for their pets I follow it to the letter. I always carry my own doggie water bottle when I take them on walks to make sure they don't over heat. Plus I try my best to walk them under a shady route in the summer so they're paws do get burned on hot concrete

About: I've looked after dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and sizes, from mini Dachshunds to Great Danes, and from young puppies to achy old dogs. I'm a full time student at Indiana University Bloomington, so I'll need to be within travelling distance of Bloomington and allowed time for my classes during the school year. How I care for your dog depends entirely on how I'm told to, I'm adaptable and can fit to pretty much any schedule or routine your dog is accustomed to.
“Aubrey is wonderful with Zero my 92 lb German Shepherd! She always arrives on time and did 2 meet and greets before to get to know him. She handles larger dogs with ease and is always aware of surroundings while walking him. Zero does not like many people. Zero warmed up to her in about 10 mins the first time, 2 mins the 2nd time and he was immediately her friend the next. This is unheard of with Zero. I am so thankful she was not intimidated and I could clearly tell the 1st time meeting her she loves dogs. She had the pack leader mentality which u need with Zero and won him over quickly. I will continue to use Aubrey she is trustworthy and dependable. She stayed at the house and treats my house as if her own. Having her watch Zero allows me to be gone without worry. I am so thankful I connected with her on Rover. She takes care of my dog just like her own. She is a top notch dog sitter!!”
