“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
About: I've been a lover of animals all my life and have worked with service dogs in training. I will treat animals as if they are my own! I am a arch college student with weekends and Tuesdays free. Depending on the intended times, I could be available on other days as well! I will not be able to care for pups in my home. I live in a dorm on campus and it would be very tricky to sit them while having classes.
“Jeff did a great job walking our dog and provided ample updates—He also gave our cat some treats and provided a picture update of her as well! We will use Jeff again”
“Jordan was great. She was also EXTREMELY accommodating. My other dog walker fell through, so it was very last minute. But she was able to help me out. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had my cat, Hank (or my son, as I like to call him), for almost 6 years now. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and from a young age I was trusted with walking, feeding, and even administering medication to our senior dog. I’ve also cared for bunnies and other exotic animals—so if you have any special friends at home who need some extra love, I’m happy to help! I’m currently a student at UK and working a remote part-time internship on a campaign. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays after 12pm, Wednesdays through Fridays before 3pm and after 5pm, and I’m very flexible on weekends. Let me know your pet’s routines or any special needs and I’m happy to adjust! This includes things like medications, reactivity on walks/with strangers, or anything else you think is important. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to treat your pet as if they’re my own! :)
“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
About: I have always had dogs and loved them! I have pet sat anything from dogs to donkeys. I am ok with potty training, as I taught my own puppy!! short drop ins, long hours, overnight, I’ll do it all. I would love to help out your family💙 I have a very flexible schedule with class, and am available during the workday (and overnight)!! I can drop in to let the pooch out, or stay and let them get some energy out:) I am a great rule follower! If you have special instructions I will be sure to follow them closely. With having years and years of experience not only pet sitting, but fostering, and even owning my own dog, I can problem solve lots of the time aswell!!
“Derek has been fantastic. He utilizes the full 30-minutes and goes walking and incorporates play time in there as well. He provides daily report cards. I plan to keep on using him daily.”
“Kara truly cared about my dog and his well being. I would trust her to come in my home/hotel and care for my dog, anytime im in the area. She understood what was needed and his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter/dog walker!!”
About: I worked in a vet office for many years throughout high school and college, and with an extraordinary veterinarian mom I have always loved and had many animals! I am extremely comfortable caring for your loving companions. I am an independent contractor, so not only is my schedule is very flexible, but I am the one creating it! I have lots of time in the day for walks and cuddles. I have always been an animal lover in my personal and early professional life, so I have a deep understanding of what it means to not only have pets but what it takes to really be a caretaker to them.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was young and have also always had cats and dogs since I can remember. I am very experienced in pet sitting and you can trust me with your fur babies!! I’ve always loved taking care of animals. I have pet sit for many years and have always enjoyed it. I love being able to take dogs on walks and enjoy outside time and also just giving animals affection and love! I have no problem visiting clients home, I have done it many times before and it worked out fine! I don’t usually bring animals to my place just because I have animals myself.
“Duchess had a great time walking with Jubilee. Jubilee stepped in and saved a friend of mine who was experiencing post surgical difficulty with professionalism and poise. Coordinating this from many states away proved entirely possible because of Jubilee's response and attention to detail as we navigated this tumultuous time. Couldn't be more grateful or satisfied with Jubilee or Roverdotcom. Without these two amazing two partners, I don't know what we'd have done.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 5 years and my friends, family and neighbors all have trusted me to take care of their pets for years. I have experience in basic obedience training with young dogs. I have trained my 2 dogs and have done some work with other puppies. I have experience with administrating medicine to senior animals. I also have experience with reptiles, I used to be a pet keeper at a pet store and picked up many useful skills during that time. I am currently working part time. Shifts are about 4 to 7 hours long but only 3 days a week. Daily walks are no problem, I can fit that into my daily schedule. I usually like to discuss with the clients that have booked with me about my schedule for that week. I usually do not house pets in my home due to the fact that we have many animals and things can get difficult. In a client's home I usually follow the instructions that I am provided for the pets diet and routine. I love playing and spending time with all my clients animals!
About: I have taken care of my dogs for most of my 18 years of life. I love dogs of any kind, whether they are big or small. I love taking care of them and giving them good care. I would be able to fit it in quite well, I would just not be able to miss any college classes or sorority events, but it should be easy! I have a good yard, I am good at knowing when they need to go out and walk around for some exercise, and I am always giving them water and making sure they are okay!
“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”
“Brooke was amazing and so accommodating! I will def use her again if she'll have us! Otis was so happy to get outside today! Thank you Brooke!”
Mount Vernon dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a pet sitting emergency and needed someone to come by three times in one day. Joy was great with our pups. I was happy to see that her own dog, Copper, is an Australian Cattle Dog, so she understands demanding herding breeds like ours. Our guys were really well cared for and we returned home to find everything in order. Joy is easy to communicate with. She came to meet them in advance and was receptive to what we wanted. We would highly recommend her!!!
Lexee was so kind and patient with my nervous dog! While my dog was a little unsure of having someone new in the house, by the end he was feeling so much more comfortable. Lexee was very quick to respond to messages/requests, which was helpful because it is my first time using Rover. I definitely recommend Lexee as someone you can trust to help with your dog!
