As usual, Jordan was great with our pups. He graciously handled one of our dogs having an upset tummy and he was respectful of our home. Thank you Jordan! We appreciate you so much!

Alexis was amazing and kept us in the loop with how our pets were doing. We got pics daily and she left our house in tip top shape. We highly recommend her and will definitely request her to come back. Thanks, Alexis!

Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.

Lance was awesome. He watched and took care of our 3 Pomeranians as though they were his. He sent us morning and evening photos with updates. He did everything as we asked. I was not worried at all the whole time we were away. That was nice!! I know we have finally found someone to trust with our kiddos.

This was our second time having Tonie watch our animals and I appreciate her SO much. I’m protective of my lil babies, especially having a pupper with particular needs and allergies. She handles our concerns well and adapts when needed. I know my animals are safe in her care. She also is very communicative, which I appreciate! We will continue asking for her support when needed!

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable taking care of them. I’ve helped friends and family with their pets, including feeding, walking, and just giving them attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For the rest of the week, I have a flexible schedule and can visit at times that work best for you. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very respectful of your space and will keep everything clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Growing up on a farm, I've had the pleasure of taking care of both small and big fur friends. I have experience with small house dogs, as well as barn cats and our Great Pyrenees and a German Shepard. I am also a medical professional, so I am comfortable with medication and lifestyle management for your furry family member! I am currently a full-time student with a focus in Pre-Medicine. I also work as an EMT part-time on a 911 service. Although signing up with Rover is allowing me to provide a safe, caring, and loving environment; I will also be getting the opportunity to experience time with your one of a kind fur family! I believe that pets provide just as much for us (if not more)! Coming into your home with your fur baby, I would ensure that they feel that nothing has changed. I'd keep their same routine, whether it be feeding times, walking times, etc. As stated earlier, I am also comfortable managing medications or any special care your fur baby may need!

About: I’ve taken care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs of all shapes and sizes! I absolutely love animals, and I’m willing to do whatever your furry friend needs. We have always had pets in our house, including one that needed long term care. If administering medication is what your pet needs, I’m more than familiar with it! I especially love big dogs, but like I said before…I love ALL animals, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have ample time to play with your animals! I run errands for my family as well, so frequent stops would be no problem! I am able to do whatever your dog needs as long as it’s at your own home. We have two cats, and it wouldn’t be smart for me to bring them here. However, walking, feeding, light grooming, and cuddling are all services that I offer!

About: I grew up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix and loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit, I love to walk them both! I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for them. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, and have switched careers to work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family! I have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule is open and flexible - I can be available almost any time with some notice. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.

About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. I have flexible hours and can work around your schedule, anything you need I can do from dog baths to walks at the park. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

Hailey gave our little toy poodle excellent care! Honey warmed up to Hailey very quickly. Hailey followed all my instructions. I appreciated how she kept in touch with me about Honey and how she was doing. I would definitely have Hailey watch our pet again!
