8. Hannah D.
About: I have had various types of animals since 2012. I currently have dogs, crabs, and a bird. I previously have also had reptiles and rodents. People around me with pets have trusted me, and still do, to take care care their special companions. I currently have no other tasks that would prevent too much of my time from being used up. With that being said, there is plenty of time to help take care of your pets! I am very flexible and ask lots of questions to make sure that the Fur-babies are taken care of properly. I tend to leave notes.
9. Derek W.
About: Growing up we were a pet family - included cats, dogs, rats (I know), hamsters, fish, and reptiles. As an adult I have been responsible for caring for the pets of my friends and family. Including "high maintenance dogs, e.g requiring medication 3 times a day, needing an ointment on their skin etc. I have looked after dogs and cats ranging from a few months to end of life care, including those visually impaired. I currently have no pets of my own so am looking forward to devoting my care to your pet. My full-time job is flexible in terms of hours and I can work from home if your pet needs extra attention. This allows for the flexibility for scheduling walks or boarding. I am available most days for all activities depending on the day. I have a pet friendly home in a beautiful area of Midtown so if walks are needed it the best environment. Other pets would need their homes if they require (crate, terrarium etc). I live in a clean, calm, environment that all pets can enjoy.

15. Presley V.
About: Along with owning an array of animals throughout my life, I have volunteered at shelters since high school. Seeing the effects of love and care is truly eye opening. I cannot wait to be apart of the village that loves your animal! I am currently in the process of getting my bachelor’s degree, and spend some of my free time at shelters. I love all things animals, and would love to spend some of my free time helping other’s give their pets the best care. In a clients home, I will respect all wishes for not only their pet, but their space. Playing, walking, and feeding will be done as the client wishes.
16. Bree K.
“Bree did such a professional job of taking care of my two dogs and two kittens (in my home) while I was gone for five days. I came home to happy pets and a sparkling clean house. I have used Rover in the past (with lots of success) but this was the first time I had a sitter stay at MY house. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I honestly couldn’t be happier. I hope to book Bree many more times!”

He’s nothing short of spectacular at making sure their needs are always met, and they receive all the love he can possibly give. He’s very great at communicating and pays great attention to detail. Anyone would be lucky to have him care for their fur babies.”
