About: I’ve taken care of Dogs,Cats and even farm animals for various different people at different times. Plus I’ve grown up and been around animals since I was a baby, along with owning a bunch of animals myself. I’m available every weekday afternoon, but im unavailable on Thursday (things may change and my time of availability during the day might change as well). And on the weekends I’m available pretty much anytime so I’m very Flexible timing wise. I’ve got plenty of time to snuggle and play with your fury friends and if you have multiple pets none of them will feel left out. I myself have two dogs that are very friendly and love to play together. My neighbors have 2 dogs who are also super friends and love to play as well. I live on a farm so I’m surround by animals. When I go to take care of someone else’s animals I also like well laid out instructions on how you take care of your pet just so I can to it the same way and not Change or mess up a routine. I love the animals I take care of as if they were my own, and will most definitely fall in love with them!

Walking, feeding, training, medication, please let me know what your pet needs.

“Grace was so good with our cat, Guppy. She was always on time and followed the instructions we gave her perfectly. Guppy loves to play until he's out of breath, and Grace sent us pictures showing with him panting from the fun time he had. We'd definitely recommend booking with Grace, and we plan to again next time we have to leave town.”


About: Hi there! My name is Imani and I have a deep sense of love for all animals, especially dogs and cats :) I’ve been working alongside my girlfriend the past three years with dog walking/house sitting and after gaining so much experience and knowledge I decided to start my own profile. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different breeds and sizes of dogs which gives me the confidence to handle any pup that comes my way! I’m extremely reliable and meticulous when it comes to my work and caring for my clients pets. My main focus is always safety, fun, and providing owners a sense of comfort while their pet is in the hands of someone they can trust. You can count on me to deliver the best job possible every time and give your pets the love and kindness they deserve. I look forward to connecting and working with you and your pets in the future! I currently have open availability and tons of time to give your pet the care and attention they need. I’m very flexible and and can always provide more care incase if an emergency/late flight etc. When providing any kind of pet care in a clients home I always make sure to be respectful of the space and follow instructions attentively. Trust is fundamentally important to me and I promise to follow any guidelines/instructions for your pet you and leave your home cleaner than when I found it.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.

“Sky did an excellent job taking care of our cat Daffodil. She sent us regular and detailed daily updates and was very patient with our shy fur baby. We would highly recommend Sky for pet visits and care. Thanks Sky!”


“Did great with my 3 dogs ranging from 30-80 lbs. They handled my psycho Aussie mix very well and made sure they all went potty while my boyfriend couldn’t get home as soon as anticipated to let them out. Thank you for letting Bruce, Sadie and Princess out last minute over the holidays!”



About: I have walked dogs of all different sizes, ages & breeds. I have also administered medications ( oral & topical ), changed bandages. I've loved animals my entire life & my client's pups/pets become "my" pets..in other words, I love them like they were my own. * I prefer to do "Meet & Greets" with potential clients and their pets prior to taking the "job", so not only do I and the pets get to meet, but the pet parent(s) & I can also meet & discuss any schedules, routines, etc. as well as go over any questions. I want to not only be comfortable with them, but I want the pet parent(s) & of course, the pets, to be comfortable with me as well. P.S. I’ve worked in many horse barns in my 20’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help ( even if it’s a one time thing :) I’m pretty available due to being on Social Security ( due to a major car accident in 2009), so I do this to not only supplement my income but because I love animals & it also helps me in multiple ways ( mentally, physically, etc.) I treat your home like my home in the sense that I become protective of the space ( & pets of course), I don’t like random people showing up/trying to enter the home without my hearing Directly from the homeowner. After I’m familiar w/ the way things typically are ( ex. what vehicle(s) are routinely there/not there then a “random” vehicle is suddenly there, I will be suspicious & notify the pet parent/home owner right away to make sure it’s ok to be there).

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I was 12! I have two cats and two dogs of my own and have taken care of the animals of my friends and family reliably for years. I love all animals and have even taken care of chameleons, lizards, and ducks! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a lot of availability for your animals! I can do both housesitting and drop in visits, and would be happy to spend time with your animals on weekends or weekdays! When watching animals, I am always sure to clarify all of their needs and schedules! I have experience in giving both cats and dogs medications, and would be happy to learn the specifications of your animals!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was 14 years old, I’m the person in the family that dog sits every dog they have and even with my friends, i also got to have 2 cats and I’m starting to learn more about them I’m a student of surgical instrumentation in Colombia and i have full time here to work 😄 i can work from 5am to 9pm but if is needed my schedule can be more flexible I’m staying in a familiar home, in here they have a dog so mostly my services are walking and dog care in their houses, also i think is more comfortable for a pet to be in their own environment.

About: I love dogs. I have a rescue her name is Snickers and shes 7 months old. I've had dogs all my life. How anyone can hurt man's best friend is beyond me. She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.

“Hi! This is Imani’s girlfriend, my name is Hope! Three years ago I downloaded the Rover app and have made this my full time job ever since. Imani has been working and helping along side me, joining me for every house sitting job I’ve gotten. Through this experience he’s had the opportunity to get the inside scoop of the ins and outs of this business. He was also able to meet countless pet owners outside this app and work with them by proving them daily walks/overnight pet sitting. Not only does he have the knowledge to provide excellent care but he also has the biggest heart, diligent work ethic and keen attention to detail, making him the best pet caregiver one could ever ask for!”
