Fantastic! I shared with Tracy that my dog gets very anxious when new people come to the house. She was very understanding and agreed to meet outside the house and go on a walk for our Meet and Greet. My dog felt very comfortable with Tracy and had no problems when Tracy walked her by herself the next time. I am extremely happy.

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

Autumn did a great job caring for my two dogs. One of my dogs is elderly and has several medical problems. Autumn was very capable and comfortable with this. I will definitely trust her again in the future with my fur-babies.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born. I currently have a 13, 3, and 2 year old dogs. I have experience with medication management and administration. As well as dogs with serious medical issues. I am capable of taking care of dogs of all ages. I am currently in college a couple days a week during the summer and I currently am working a flexible job. Both allow for a lot of downtime. As of right now I only have 1-2 days during the week which are unavailable but other than that I have a lot of free time! I have experience with dogs who have destructive behavior so if your dog needs kenneld or close supervision I am capable. I am someone who pays close attention to my own dogs and when I watch other dogs I try to treat them as my own!

About: If i can take care of my husky, then i definitely can take care of any other dog pretty much. I got my first pet when 6(german sheperd), i got another dog when 11 and now am 20 and i got a siberian husky(wife's gift). I lost my other two before moving to US. It was tough since i was very young at the time, basically i have been a dog lover since forever. I will take care of your dog as if it was my little Nova, i feed nova 3 times a day since she is a big dog, take her to potty every two hours or when she lets me know that she has to go (trained her to not do her business inside the house) and i brush her fur daily. I also have a cat her name is Blue, she and Nova are my only babies at the moment.

Wow! I'm so happy Gunner was in Jennifer's care. I'm very new to Rover and our pup has only ever been in the care of family. We unexpectedly had to be out of town for the day so I scoured the Rover reviews and reached out to Jennifer the day before. She replied right away & accepted the job. She communicated her arrival at our home, how Gunner did on his walks, his eating, drinking, and behavior with a new person. I'm so happy I chose her & she accepted. I will call on her again for sure & highly recommend.

About: I have owned and cared for cats my entire life, and have extensive experience dog-sitting for friends and family. My goal is to provide stress-free care for your pet. I pride myself in my ability to anticipate a pet’s needs, and give them the space, respect, and attention that they require. I am a full-time graduate student, so I have the summer free to care for your pet, any day and any time! I am free weekdays and weekends, and I am willing and able to provide care any time of day. When providing pet care in your home, I will be careful to follow all instructions meticulously. I understand that not all pets will require extensive attention, especially in their own space where they have an established routine and practices. I will try to disrupt these routines as little as possible, so that your pet has very little disruption to their every-day expectations.

I am so thankful to have found Aaron! Right off the bat he is extremely kind, flexible, and professional when it comes to figuring out you and your pets needs. He emphasizes keeping your pet in their routine as much as possible which is much appreciated. My very shy dog warmed up to him quickly as he spent time with her to make her feel comfortable! I loved receiving pictures and videos of my dog during his visit, which made me feel relieved that my dog was getting treated with above and beyond care. Your pet will be in wonderful hands with Aaron. Will be booking him regularly! Thank you so much Aaron we are so happy to have found you!
