About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

About: I have owned 3 huskies before because of me being a husky owner. I have dealt with stubbornness and big personalities. I loved their personality! I prefer to do it on weekends because my work schedule is very unpredictable but I have no problem going after work if you need me to! I always pay attention to a dog’s body language. It gives me an idea what they are feeling, how their health is, and overall if their needs are met like food, water, or had enough miles to walk.

Brittany is so kind and thoughtful! It did not take long for Buddy to become friends with her and he usually doesn’t like anyone! :) I am lucky to have found her!

About: Hi, my name is april and i am 19 years old and have been a huge animal lover since i was a child. I am new to this app which is why I don’t have reviews, but i do have a lot of dog and cat experience! I own 2 chihuahuas & a doberman so i have experience with all dogs sizes as well as have had a cat in the past. I have dog and cat sat for friends and family for years. every year around spring break time i animal sit my aunt’s 3 dogs and cat and have done so for the last 5 years! I love animals more than anything and would love to pet sit, walk or do potty breaks for your dog or cat! Your dog or cat is in good paws :) I am a part time starbucks barista but don’t start work for 2 more weeks, and even then my shifts will be short so I am almost always available, depending on my schedule for the week I can put your dog in crate if needed, long walks, feed, give medicine if needed, clean out liter boxes for cats, provide play time and anything else your pup or cat needs. I experience with senior age dogs as well as puppies, dogs that have just gotten surgery and need to special care, and disabled dogs

About: I have had my own dogs and pets to take care of at home! I am comfortable and very familiar with taking walks, playing games, cleaning up accidents, and giving plenty of pet love! I currently have a dog that is turning 1 soon. I have a family dog, so that is an everyday commitment I am used to! I work during the weekdays and am off on the weekends, this is usually the time I dedicate to pet care outside of our family pet. I have a fenced front and back yard. My back yard has a privacy fence so people passing by will not disturb your pet as we play in the back yard. I have plenty of space inside and outside of my home. I also have a shaded patio for hot days!

Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!

About: I have a genuine love and passion for animal care. I have experience in looking after mine and family friends pets, ensuring they are safe, healthy, and happy. My attention to detail and commitment to their well-being means I will provide the best possible care, whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply giving them the attention they need. I however do not allow anyone in my home during meet and greet or at time of drop off. Both will be held outside in my front yard. I am background checked unfortunately owners are not so please understand. I also do not do pick up or do drops off unless you are local. Please know I only crate if the owner crates. Pups are free to roam home and are never confined or restrained in any way. My home is also peanut and tree nut free, my sister is very allergic! Thank you! I know I am new to the app and don’t have many reviews, however I’d love if you gave me the opportunity to prove to you and your fur baby I am committed to making sure they are happy and safe. And for you to know they are being treated properly and you are able to relax. I can accommodate photos whenever you need also photos of the house, backyard, and anywhere else we go! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! 🐶 I am a manager at a restaurant. I work about 30-35 hours a week. However, I live with my two siblings so someone is mostly always home! My schedule is very flexible. I’d love to offer my services on the weekdays and weekends! I have a beautiful trail connecting to my backyard where I take daily walks, and would love to have the company of your fur baby!😁 I have a fenced in backyard, that backs up to a beautiful trail. Which would be perfect for walks! I do have three cats in the home, they are very friendly and have experience being around dogs. They get fed twice a day. Leia and Lucy constantly begs to go outside and sunbathe 🤣. They would love to have company of your animals !!! I will also have a crate available if wanted by the owner!

Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!

About: Hi there! I’m very caring, calm & pet smart – 7 years of experience including 3 years on rover: with dogs, cats, puppies & seniors. Reliable, playful, and always on time. Please note: Rover requires sitters to set standard daily rates on their profile, but I’m very flexible with pricing and happy to work within your budget whenever possible. My main goal is providing loving, reliable care for your pets, so if the listed rate doesn’t fit your needs, feel free to reach out and we can discuss a price that works for both of us! I’m available any day and time, except when I’m on vacation or away at school! I’m flexible and happy to stay overnight or adjust to whatever your pet needs! I do create a calm, safe space and follow all pet routines closely—whether at my home or yours. Pets are loved, watched, and always comfortable.
