“This was the first tine Jennifer stayed with Kale'a. Kale'a is a slow moving 12 year old Lab - Jennifer walked her several tines a day, gave Kale'a her medications and lots of love. In addition, my house was also well-caref for. I can't express how happy both Kale'a and I were to have found Jennifer!”
About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( At this time, I am working another part-time job as a behavior technician Monday through Friday, with the time usually being from 4:30 to 7:00pm. Occasionally, however, I am asked to come in at either 9:00am or 10:00am until about 12:00pm or 1:00pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!
“Ace house sat for me for 4 days and was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! they kept me updated on their visit schedule, was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my pups and house in their care while i was away! i will definitely be booking with Ace again soon! 😊”
“Pam is the best. Leaving the care of beloved pets and your home to someone you don't know is scary, especially for an extended stay while you're far away. I took a chance on using Rover and was immediately impressed with Pam's profile and reviews. I liked that she's mature, not working full-time somewhere else, and has experience caring for senior dogs, more specifically, a senior Doberman. We were able to book early, which gave us time to get to know each other, and it was a good match from the start. She is easy to work with, conscientious and thorough, and genuinely loves the work. She planned for contingencies (important for a long stay), checked in daily while we were gone, and took great care of our old dog, finicky cat, and home, exceeding expectations. We returned from a three-week trip out of the country to happy pets, a clean house, and a good friend. Thank you Pam!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for more than 9 years, pets of my neighbors, friends and my own pets, I consider that they need the best care in the world as they give everything for us being our companions on this journey that is life, talking a little about my experience, I have taken care of small and large pets to bathe and feed them and walk them, I have training in the face of any altercation on the street. Being something that I like to do since before coming to this country is something that I want to dedicate myself to for an indeterminate time. I have a fenced yard and at the moment I don't have small children, so all the attention will be focused on pets for as long as they need it.

“Diane is absolutely wonderful! This is her second time watching our pups. They fell in love with her the first time, and I could tell from the pictures she sent us that they felt super comfortable and happy! She also watched our elderly pup for us along with our 2 yr olds, and she was so patient and kind. We will definitely be asking Diane to watch them again the next time we need a sitter! Thanks so much Diane🥰”
“Holly is so great!! She responds quickly, is reliable, responsible and on time. She left my house immaculate and really bonded with my cat (who hates people) and my dog. Highly recommend!! 💫”
“Aritza was absolutely amazing! Extremely reliable. Played with both dogs til they were exhausted. She gave me updates regularly and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. She will be our regular sitter moving forward”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life from puppy/kitten to seniors and always try to make everyday special for them. Very attentive to their needs. Detail and safety oriented. I have a full time work from home job so taking care of pets during the day would be simple if they are taken care of here. I am flexible if need to be in your home, as long as I have internet access for work. I have a very large fenced in yard and numerous rooms in the house to keep your pet comfortable and taken care of. I have my own medium sized dog and cat so if they are friendly they can play but if not, can always sequester them in a nice safe space.
“This was my first experience with Rover and Amber made it super easy! I got all sorts of pictures from her and my pup got the love she needed while I was out of town! I’d highly recommend Amber for your dog sitting needs!”

Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”
