“Heather did absolutely amazing with my pups! I am always nervous about having new people around my pups, but Heather connected with them really well and it was obvious she cared for them. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
“I highly recommend Paige. Upon our return our home smelt normal and Sasha’s litter was clean. Paige was able to administer meds to her which was no easy feat. We will keep booking her if she is available.”

“Rob did an excellent job taking care of our cat, who can be difficult and standoffish. He was responsive to her needs and followed our directions well, even suggesting slight adjustments to facilitate a better experience for all. We recommend him wholeheartedly!”

About: I love all animals and owning dogs, a cat and a rabbit myself, working professionally as a kennel hand and trainer, and caring for some other fuzzy friends during my day-to-day makes me a great choice for most of your doggie day (or evening!) care. I spend lots of time at our local dog park and our own back yard exercising my pups. I have experience professionally training working and hunting dogs, and taking care of puppies and elderly dogs. The main thing I hope to achieve with your dog is to have some fun, get myself some extra exercise and hopefully be a good companion for your dog while you’re away If you have any further questions or want references, feel free to message me, thank you! I work a full time job remotely, so I often have free time during the week and during the evenings, especially for house/pet sitting in other’s homes. I like to fill that time with Rover I will be hanging out with your furry friends and try to follow their cues as far as plans go! I do know CPR for dogs and am familiar with injection and other medication administration for both dogs and cats. Any special instructions on how you care for your pets will be followed. Thunderstorm, anxiety, and firework situations are also understandable and can be accommodated. I will comfort them as best as l can! *CONSTANT CARE RATES IE: IF YOUR PET CANNOT BE LEFT ALONE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME EXCLUDING ANY WALKS, PLEASE INFORM ME PRIOR TO BOOKING/CONFIRMATION
About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I currently have no pets of my own which means I have tons of love with which I can shower your animals. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.
About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.
“Jona did a wonderful job of caring for my kitty when I was out of town. I was nervous to leave her because she needs insulin shots twice a day. Jona handled it like a pro. She shared cute pictures and updates of how she was doing which made me feel much for comfortable leaving her. I would absolutely rebook Jona! 😃”

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 10 years and have worked in ER/ICU for the last year. I am reliable, loving, and meticulous to detail. I have four days available every week to care for pets. My schedule is open and flexible to whatever your pet needs for their best routine. I make sure everything is clean, sanitary, and pet safe and I pay attention to detail when caring for your home and your pets care.
About: I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures. I am out of school for the summer, and working a few hours each week remotely. I have ample time to spend with your dog or cat. I am up early on weekday mornings to go to the gym, so I can do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care. I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.
“Joanna did a great job checking in on my kitty Peaches. She reliably showed up as promised, communicated well, shared pictures and my cat loved her. She was good at telling with Peaches was in the mood to play or in the mood to cuddle and gave her all the love she craved. I will definitely have Joanna look in on Peaches again in the future. Highly recommend.”

About: I have had dogs since I was 9 and always loved them lots. During COVID and now when I am home alone/my family is unable to I take on the responsibility of consistently walking the dogs, picking up after them, and giving them fresh food and water. Finally, I sometimes walk my mom's cousin's greyhound, which gives me walking skills with dogs who require extra attention from being prone to running off. I take my dogs out minimum once a day and consistently check on their food and water. I also love being outside and walking, so incorporating dogs into that would be fun and easy. I will consistently check that my client's home is the safest and most comfortable for the animal I am watching. I am also happy to keep the yard in the best condition I am able to maintain (pick up trash, get rid of other animal poop, etc) and walk them on a leash in a yard if it isn't fenced in as I have to do that with my dogs.
“Jill is so caring with our cat! She always takes great pictures and leaves detailed notes after each visit. I feel confident Taco is taken care of.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog throughout middle school and teenage years. Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me to watch their pets as well. This includes, walking, bathing, medication administration, feeding, playing, and any other necessities the pet may need. I currently have two cats. I know pets can become stressed when their owner isn’t around and that it takes time to make them feel at ease, with going the extra mile to make them comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my pets are safe and happy while I’m away and would like to provide the same to you! I currently have two cats that I care for every day, both of whom have different medical needs that require proper attention and consistency. Because of this, I am very comfortable with routines, monitoring pets closely, and making sure they receive the care they need. I work a regular schedule Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and sometimes until 4:00 PM. This allows me to be available in the mornings and evenings for pet care. My boyfriend also has a flexible schedule and can help during the day if needed, which gives us additional flexibility to make sure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I have two cats of my own who are truly my babies, and both are rescues. Maggie has diabetes and requires insulin twice a day, and Finny has food allergies along with another allergy we are still working to identify. Because his allergies can lead to ear infections, we take extra preventative steps by using ear drops twice a week to help keep his ears healthy. Caring for them has given me a lot of experience with attentive, routine-based pet care and administering medications. I plan to care for your pets the same way I care for my own with patience, attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of snuggles.
“Alli was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and would be honored to have her as our rover again! :)”
