“I absolutely love how caring she is. I was nervous at first because this is my first time using the app and she had to travel quite a distance to let my dog out but she took such good care of her. My dog is very friendly and generally loves all people, but I could tell she was happier than normal when I came home from work. Thank you for your care”

“After some strike-outs with other pet sitters who only stay for the bare minimum and do the bare minimum, I found Terry on Rover. Perfect match. I spent the holidays worry free for the first time in a long time. Even when there was a small upset, Terry had everything under control. I could fill the page with a range of specifics, but to save time, I had no complaints. The house was in great condition when I returned. My indoor/outdoor cats were actually at home waiting for me. It is a relief to know there is a great pet care professional out there (with professional being the critical point!).”

About: I was born and raised in the country, my papaw gave me my first dog when I was 5 years old who I named Charlie and told me that I was responsible for taking care of him. That's when I learned the friendship, love, and compassion that pets can behold. He was the 1st of many pets that I had, he lived till I was 17 and will always have a special place in my heart. Throughout my childhood to my teens, I took care of many animals usually dogs but there were cats, ducks, chicken, rabbits, fish, lizards, hamsters, and even befriended a bear cub once thinking it was a dog until my papaw realized and ran it off to prevent momma bear from coming our way. I guess you could say I have always been drawn to animals and I'm so excited for the opportunity to care for your pet, giving you peace of mind that they are receiving quality care. I recently decided to work from home so I could have more time to contribute to things I'm passionate about and one of the things I'm the most passionate about is caring for animals of all varieties. Starting out, I will be available 3 days a week but if there is enough interest generated, I will open my schedule up more. I will follow any and all care instructions given by the pet parent especially if there are any specific care instructions such as administering medications, avoiding allergies, and assisting with physical limitations. I will provide a safe yet fun and happy environment for your pet, making sure they are fed and hydrated while having lots of human interaction. It will be the next best thing to having their pet parent there with them. I can also communicate frequently with messages, pictures, and videos also giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

About: I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life, and began regularly taking care of family and friends' dog and cats when I was 17. I am very attentive to the needs and body language of both dogs and cats, and adapt well to their unique behaviors and routines. I have experience with aloof/aggressive pets, senior pets, and young pets 6 months or older. I only work a couple days a week so I am comfortable with providing constant care to pets who cannot be left alone. I like to operate on a schedule so I am good about keeping up with bathroom breaks, feeding times, medications, etc. I am consistently available to care for your pets Sunday-Wednesday, and may frequently be available Thursday-Saturday as well (I do my best to update my calendar appropriately as far in advance as possible). I will request information about your pet's personality and care requirements prior to meeting with you. I ask that you allow me to meet your pet outside under your supervision before the stay begins, for both mine and your pet's safety and comfort.

About: I have been around and took care of animals most all my life. I currently have 4 dogs. A shih tzu, golden doodle, and two aussies. I have also had cats but recently ours has passed. I find it so rewarding to love on and take care of animals. I look forward to loving on yours too! I am currently a stay at home mom but all my kids will be in school so I am pretty flexible to tend to you and your pets needs! I have a fenced in back yard for your pets and my own pets that are very gentle to keep them entertained for hours. I also have tons of toys for them to play with.
