Pet care experience

Husband & Wife, animal loving team!

Josh - I've had dogs and cats all my life, and I worked as a kennel technician for Dog Daze for awhile. I'm great with all types of dogs, and can take care of cats too! I used to help with aggressive dogs as well, and know the body languages, to help take care of dogs in isolation. Bethany - I'm a local teacher and mom during the week and have had cats and dogs since I was a kid. I love to volunteer with animal shelters and spend time with all animals. I get along great with dogs and cats and love to help care for them.

Josh was amazing. He exceeded our expectations and made going away so much easier and less stressful. We knew after our meet & greet with Josh that our pets were in good hands. I can't say enough good things about Josh. I highly recommend him and can't wait to hire him again.

Joshua has been wonderful with my two Australian Shepherds! They absolutely love their walks with him, and it’s clear they feel comfortable and happy in his care. I especially appreciate that he gives them plenty of affection—they’re big snugglers, and it’s heartwarming to know they get cuddles and attention in addition to exercise. He is reliable, caring, and communicates well, which gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.

Very personable, sent lots of pictures, and Savannah seemed very happy and well taken care of when I got back from my trip. 10/10 will book again!

Please let us know about any conditions, preferences, or particular needs your pet has during booking requests. Knowing what kind of play they enjoy and their typical energy levels/routine throughout the day will be helpful for us to get comfortable with each other. Any special needs and quirks should be made known during the booking period (i.e. slips out of collar, frightened by thunderstorms, gets car sick, excessive barking, digestive issues, aggression during walks, etc). Please share any particular routine or schedule that your dog is used to so that we can be as accommodating as possible. Any and all additional info is welcome!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
