Jen was very flexible with my schedule and reliable. It is as a relief to know that my dog was in good hands and got to go for a walk while I was at work.

About: We have had dogs all of my life. The past 4 years have been hard since my girls aged and crossed the rainbow bridge. I don’t have a place to have a dog now, so I would be grateful to spend some time with yours. I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home. I feel like this is a way I can help supplement my income by providing quality care to pet families in need. I am a conscience adult who has had several background checks for work. No drugs, criminal history, etc. I will care for your pet as my own abiding by your care instructions.

Danielle showed up promptly on time and ready to go! She came with treats which my dogs loved, and even brought her own poo bags! My dogs returned happy and tired! Looking forward to sending them with Danielle in the future!

Charlotte did a great job. Arrived on time and managed to calm down my over rambunctious dogs. Scarlett came back a very happy and tired dog. Thank you so much. I do not need any more walks at the moment but will be happy to get her again next time my daughter leaves them with me.

Destiny has provided exceptional dog walking service for three weeks now. She was willing to take the extra steps necessary to build trust with my dog. We set up a meet and greet on a public trail and then, she came to the house to help my anxious, Copper-dog, get comfortable having her in his home. Destiny's calm, kind, grounded nature put Copper at ease immediately. I have peace of mind with Destiny walking Copper while I am away. She is responsible, reliable and a great communicator. I am so grateful to have found a dog walker I can trust with my special-needs creature.

About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!

About: I grew up in a house multiple dogs and cats and currently have a dog and 6 cats living with me. I fostered and raised new born cats and had volunteered at an animal shelter. I take pride in taking care of pets and the shelter animals and do plan of becoming a veterinarian in my future. I've dog sat my aunt's dog a few times whenever she visited. I'll play with my dog often as to keep him from getting into things he shouldn't. I'm the one who spends time with our dog and cats whenever my mother is at work and am the one to take the dog on evening and sometimes morning walks. I have also spent nights in my mum's place so her dog would know someone is there whenever she went out of town. I usually will always love and care for the furbabies alongside my own giving them the love they need and deserve. Currently I'm not working but do plan to work soon as I did just move here. All furbabies will be treated and cared for as of they are my own. I'll always keep an eye out for your furbaby making sure they are safe.

About: I have always loved and had pets. I love them even more now that Im an adult. I have worked in the pet industry for many years and think I have a greater knowledge of care. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish (fresh and salt), birds, reptiles, anphibians, hamsters, and even chickens. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats right now. I have been involved with a local animal rescue. We have help rescue several young dogs as well as a litter of puppies. I have family and friends that I sit for on a regular. Sometime I end up watering the yard and gardens. Fur babies are a huge part of my life everyday. I feel like my pets are important family members. I probably spoil my dogs terribly. I make them there own bday cakes. I also make homemade ice cream. I add veggies to there food. I make sure they have good toys for interacting. I spend a good amount of time interacting scratching, and talking to my regular fur babies. When in someones home I mind my own business. I try to leave no trace I was there. Cleaning up what ever I use. Respect is very important.

Allyse and my young Golden hit it off instantly, one reason being that Allyse takes her to new and wonderful places and returns her happily exhausted. My own experience of Allyse is that she's easy to work with, can be flexible when her schedule allows, and is highly reliable.

About: I’ve been dogsitting for at least 3 years now. I’ve specifically been pet sitting for the same few family’s over the span of several years. Since I have no other commitments, I am able to spend as much time as needed with the dogs and treat every dog like it’s my own. I don’t mind having to make special meals for dogs, going on walks, or staying full time at your house! I do not have any other jobs currently so I am able to give my full attention to your pets! I already take walks on my own so having a dog join me would be beneficial as well. I do not have pets of my own so it’s easy for me to give full love and attention to other peoples pets like the pet I never had.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love playing with and getting to know them. I have worked with a couple of friends in high school dog sitting for family friends and relatives and have enjoyed every second I spend with their pets. I recognize and take into consideration the age, physical abilities, and daily habits of the pets I take care of and base my care and activities around those. I am currently living up in Portland working for a state campaign but I will occasionally be traveling down to my other home in Grants Pass for jobs and building projects for my family . I greet every pet I meet with respect, care, and love and will calmly approach any new animal I meet with the intention of building trust with that animal and letting them know I can take care of them and love them and that they can trust me.

About: I have a lot of love for animals. I am interested in dog walking or taking care of dogs/cats when you just need a little vacation to yourself or a busy day ahead! I have two years of experience with dog sitting. I have taken dogs on walks, stayed over night at the owner's home, fed them, play with them, and clean up after them when they have accidents. I have also taken dogs to vet appointments. I am not afraid of any type of dogs. They have this effect on me that makes me fall in love with them or feel better when I'm feeling down. I’m currently off of my main job as a special needs aide at a middle school as it is summer time! I have a lot of free time right now. I always want pets to feel safe and secure when they’re with me. I like using a soft voice with dogs, unless told to be more stern by the owners. I have experience with dogs that have been abused and are more timid, I usually sit on the floor with them until they trust me enough to come up to me.

I have been around animals my whole life and am good at being intuitive with their needs. If they are snuggle bugs, I’ll snuggle up with them! If they need play or to be left alone, I’ll act accordingly.
