About: I don’t have any experience with senior animals but I am eager to learn more about the care that they need! I have three cats so I know how to care for animals with different personalities! I am a respite care provider part time, but I always have time for furry friends. I make room in my schedule to work for Rover and engage with other animals besides my own! I would prefer for care to be provided in your house, but I also have a one bedroom apartment with plenty of room for cats to roam (including s screened in porch to bird watch) and lots of toys! I also have a large backyard for dogs to run around and play fetch!
“Stacey was excellent!! She came into our home and took care of George while we were out of town. She fed him, watered him, cleaned the litter box and gave him medication. She also gave him some loving attention and sent us adorable pictures! Stacey also went above and beyond and alerted us of a few home related things while we were gone, and helped us fix them. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful! I would definitely recommend Stacey and will use her again!!”
About: Hi, I’m Jade! A little about me: I grew up in a home with a Great Dane, bunny, and cockatiel! My passion for animals took off through one of my first jobs working in a pet store. More recently, through an amazing fostering experience, my passion grew and I became all-in for animals. I work currently as a receptionist at a vet clinic and plan to get my vet tech license in a couple of years. I love all parts of my job, but most of all seeing the patients!!! I am new to Rover, but I have been watching the pets of my friends and family for years. I have cared for dogs with special instructions and have done check-ins, morning and night, as well as stay-overnights. I love animals of all kinds, and am excited to get to know yours and get all the cuddles I can! I am interested in expanding my care and experience in taking care of animals, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with special cases! It is my hope that I can earn your trust to care for your fur baby(ies) like they’re my own while you’re away :) I’m mostly doing pet care on my weekends and days off, where I will be most readily available to make sure your pets get the most thorough care I can give. I can, however, do very early morning and later night check ins if needed. I want to make sure you feel comfortable with your pet in my care and am happy to send you as many updates and pictures as you need! I will handle your fur baby with so much love and affection and make sure I stick to any instructions you may have for me!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I used to be around six dogs at a time, from small to large breeds. I’ve worked to train 2 different dogs in the last 6 months and currently have my own 2 puppies. I’m currently working part time 2 days a week. I don’t schedule dogs those days; I only accept pets on my days off, ensuring that I will have plenty of time to spend with your loved one. I can easily crate, leash up, and walk dogs as needed. I will work on some skills if wanted, ensuring some trust and respectful relationship. I’ll love your pups like they are my own!

Jade N.
“Jade has watched my dogs, a Pomeranian and a golden retriever, many times. I don't trust a lot of people with my animals because they are a lot to handle, but she is so loving and caring to them. She plays with them constantly and both of my dogs love her to death. Jade is more than willing to go out of her way to make sure she takes care of your animals well. She will reach out to you if something seems off or if she needs to verify something. She noticed that my golden retriever was having acid reflux issues, and she immediately wanted to make sure she was medicated and feeling better. She spent the night at my home a few times to watch the dogs over night. She definitely wore them out! I can't recommend her enough. Definitely go through Jade to be your pet caregiver.”

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Sophie was! She is an excellent communicator—always replied quickly and clearly to messages, and when in person, she not only listened attentively to all the things I was sharing but also consolidated it into a plan for her time with Action Jackson, which she formulated and articulated before she left our meet-&-greet. During the days of drop-in sitting with my kitty, she was amazing with some last minute flexibility, which helped me a ton. She sent several pics for each drop-in and wrote about how things went. You could see she executed her plan and provided active play for my kitty. She even helped with logistics of dropping off / picking up my keys. Could not have been more grateful for her help! Truly recommend!!
Bailey takes such great care of our girlie when we’re out. She’s reliable, communicative & so sweet to our girl. Charlie had some stomach upset while we were away & Bailey went above & beyond to take care of Charlie while she wasn’t feeling well, problem solving with us & even cleaning up after her. Truly cannot thank you enough Bailey! Knowing you’re with Charlie is the ultimate peace of mind!
Nina did an excellent job caring for our cats and fish while we were out of town. She was on top of feeding and medication schedules, kept the litter boxes tidy, and the water dishes were all full when we got home. I usually have to do a bit of damage control after a long trip because the pet sitter doesn’t keep up with all the various needs, but I am super impressed with Nina’s work—as far as my pets go, it’s like we weren’t gone at all.
Thanks for working with our schedule and taking excellent care of our young energetic pup on short notice! Mindi came and met us for an intro, was always on time, communicated promptly with us while we were out of town. New to Rover but this was a first great experience!
