I firmly believe animals are just like children. I'm very protective over animals and I love them as much as I'd love my own family member. 🥰 I've mostly cared for dogs and cats, but I've had the pleasure to care for horses and chickens too; thanks to Rover! I LOVE spending quality time, going for walks, and cuddling up with all animals. I am an animal lover and treat all animals as part of my family. I always require emergency phone numbers. These include client numbers, emergency vet numbers, and a trusted neighbor (if applicable). I love animals and try my best to care for every need.

I do require emergency phone numbers such as owner's names/numbers, address/name/ number of trusted neighbor(if applicable,) and emergency veterinarian contacts.

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”

About: I’ve been doing dog/cat sitting since I was 13! I have worked in a boarding facility for over a year now.

I also have car transportation I do not offer sleepovers in my home due to be having my own furry companions. I have 5 dogs, a cat, a hamster, and a leopard gecko :)
About: I had a dog for 10 years he died of old age, but I enjoy being a helping extra hand for others who need it!! I raised him since a puppy and my grandma has dogs I come and visit as well. I work part time at my job, but I have a set schedule and I know that it is important to meet both job requirements. Working one job doesn’t interfere with my daily life, so I picked up pet sitting. I make sure it is a clean safe environment. Having a dog for years I know the good and bad sides. It is my responsibility to take good care of each and every animal!
“I needed someone on a short notice, boy did I score!! He lives nearby and gave my two big dogs a nice walk. I got photos of them and a map of where they went. I will use Justin again! He even brought in my dry cleaning, bonus… He was very easy going and if I needed him to come back later on , he was available.”

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
