Over:

Over: Hello people! I am Teodora, a 25 year old Italian pet lover and PhD student in Architecture. Over the years I have taken care of dogs, cats and hamsters, gaining experience not only with daily routines but also with giving medication and changing bandages when needed. I'm a big fan of long walks, so having a furry companion to share them with makes it even better. As you can see, pets have access to fully available garden where they can play and relax, as well as a cozy living room if they prefer staying indoors. I always keep my phone on and my ringer active so I'm easy to reach, reliable and I carefully follow every instruction exactly as given. Taking care of animals means a lot to me, especially after the loss of my beloved Remy. Spending time with pets helps me disconnect from books and research, reconnect with real life and focus on simple and meaningful moments. I'm patient, attentive and truly enjoy giving animals the care, love and comfort they deserve. Let me take care of your furry friend, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Hi! I’m a PhD student, so I spend most of my time at my desk at home reading and studying documents and thick books. I’m often on my own whilst doing this, so I reckon having your pet to keep me company would be ideal – for both of us. I live in a house with a fenced-in garden; there’s plenty of space for all his needs, whether he prefers to stay indoors, on the sofa, in the garden or by my side having a rest.

Over: Hi everyone! My name is Charmaine 😊 

I have long-term experience with dogs. I grew up in Kenya, where my parents’ have always had dogs, and since I was around 10, I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies of different breeds, from Golden Retrievers to Malteses. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving oral medication, grooming, basic training, and raising puppies.

 I now live in Rotterdam (Delfshaven area) and don’t have any dogs of my own here yet, but I love them, which is one reason I joined this platform!

 One thing that makes me a bit different from many sitters is that I usually only take care of one pet at a time and don’t have pets of my own. So if your dog is uncomfortable/anxious around other dogs or just prefers having all the attention, that's no problem. Of course, I’m happy to look after social dogs too!

 I work full-time in climate policy research, but I mainly work from home and only go to the office a maximum of once a week. My schedule is also very flexible, so I can take dogs out throughout the day, usually around four times: morning, lunchtime, late afternoon, and before bed. I live in an apartment but have figured out lots of different green walking routes nearby.

 I don’t leave dogs home alone. If I ever need to step outside, my partner, who also loves dogs, will be there to take care of them.

 I know every dog is different and that you’ve probably created a routine that works best for them. Please tell me! I always do my best to stick to it to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

 I’ll also send daily updates of what we’re up to, so you can have peace of mind.

 If you’d like to book with me, I’d be happy to hear from you! I know it can feel scary leaving your dog with a stranger, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand.

 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup🐾 I work full-time, but from home. I go to the office only once a week, mainly on Tuesdays but this is flexible and I can go whichever day works for my schedule. This schedule allows me to be home to do pet care. My work schedule is also flexible throughout the day because the organisation I work for is very laid back, so I am able to regularly take dogs out for walks/to go potty throughout the day. My partner goes to work most days but has an irregular schedule so if I need to step out e.g., to do groceries, he would be home to take over the pet care for that time. I live in a fairly spacious apartment and have a park across the road where I would take the dogs in my care for walks. There are also multiple other green walking routes in my neighbourhood. I‘m very respecful of owners routines for their pet and would follow instructions closely.

“Leuke sfeer bij Ilona en ze heeft een rustgevende uitstraling dus ons hondje voelde zich op haar gemak binnen no time. Weer voor herhaling vatbaar :)”

“We couldn’t imagine better suited buddy for our shy, sweet, crazy furball Lea than Fernanda. She was calm, friendly and was able to connect with Lea immediately. Lea rushing to her apartment the second day was the best sign that she felt at home. Thanks a lot and see you soon!”

Over: We have had dogs for the past 5 years. We go everyday for walks in the fields where they can happily dog around. We also do daily training exercises at home to keep challenging them mentally. And cuddles, loads of cuddles! One of us works fully from home and the other one does 65% home office. Weekends are chill with extra long walks, either close to home or we take the cargo bike to explore places with our pawed friends. The garden is fully enclosed and there is always one of us at home. We live near the fields and many off-leash areas where dogs can happily play and occasionally meet a friend.

“Zuzanna has great communication skills. Unfortunately we couldn’t come due to unforeseen circumstances. But I’ll definitely want to try second time 🙏”

“We had a fantastic experience using the Rover app yesterday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Marley, for the day. We were lucky to find Mark, who was not only available but truly went above and beyond. To be honest, we were a bit disorganized — running late for both drop-off and pick-up — but Mark was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout. It was the first time Marley had ever been looked after by someone outside of our family and friends, so we were a little nervous about how it would go. Mark reassured us right away, saying he had some fun things planned, and let us know that although Marley was a bit anxious and scared at first, everything changed after their first walk together. Throughout the day, Mark kept us updated with photos of Marley out on a walk, in the car, and enjoying the outdoors. While we didn’t get a picture of it, Mark later shared with us that Marley had even joined him on a terrace — soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the company. Knowing how much Marley loves being around people and going on little adventures, we were thrilled to hear all about it and see how relaxed and happy he looked. By the time we picked him up, Marley was so happy with Mark that he didn’t even want to leave! It really felt like he had just spent the day with his new favorite uncle. Huge thanks to Mark for taking such amazing care of Marley. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”

Over: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 10. It started from just a fun spending with my neighbours puppies and grew into a passion over time and visiting clients in different cities of Lithuania. To this day have taken care on not only cats and dogs of different ages and sizes, but reptiles, birds and even the tiniest of the fur team! By this moment, I have learned the mastery of discipline, language of pets, I can see when they are stressed, happy or even craving for attention. I have learned how to communicate with them in a language that they understand and I have a lot of creative ideas how to make their time more special while you are away, so they wouldn’t feel sad. Even though I am 26 years old, I still want to continue this passion as they keep me motivated to go for my dreams and goals. And most importantly through hard days.. I would be really looking forward to meet your lovely buddy and spend some quality time together! I’m currently working remotely, as a content creator, so I can invest full-time in your pups. I am available every day, every weekend, at your preferred time! Don’t worry all the stays will stay strictly confidential. Your pets will be supervised 24/7 and as well you will be updated on the situation too with messages, videos and pictures. I stay in a calm area in Amsterdam East!

“I want to thank you Cristina! You are so lovely and you took plenty of time to get to know Toby so he would feel save with you. I feel very welcome and I love your dog Chef 💛 Thank you for your kindness and training skills. Toby had a great time with you and Chef. He slept like a baby. You are kind and very capable to train and work with dogs”

“Shiho is the sweetest! She took care of Luna for an evening and she came in the happiest dog back! Very grateful for her and for being so attentive and kind to my dog.”

Over: I love taking care of dogs! As a child adored my pets and when living in Barcelona I was my friends' official dogsitter! As a yoga teacher, I like to transmit calm and love to all beings 🥰 I work half of the week from home with flexible hours. I love walking and running and spending time in the park next to my house. Usually I spend my afternoons and weekends outdoors and resting by the water. I love to play, run and cuddle with pets, of course always based on what they like and accept. Being safe and following instructions from owner is always top priority

Over: Here's little bit about me: I’m from Taiwan, and I've always loved dogs while growing up. I had many pets when I was back home, but unfortunately I haven't had any pets since I moved here 3 years ago. I'm an animal lover and I'd love to take care of your pet. I'd prefer to go to your place to take care of your pet but if needed my apartment if also welcomed for pets. 🐶🐱 I am flexible with the amount of dog I walk and the distance or frequency of it. I would mostly be available during the weekend, and on the weekday depends on the school schedule. I sometimes don't have many classes so it's also possible that I'm free the whole day. I am now studying my masters in innovation management at Erasmus University Rotterdam and have lots of free time outside of school. I'm excited to meet your pets, whether it is walking your dog or spending quality time with your cats. I would prefer to go to your home for the pets since my place might not be the most suitable for pets. Hope my profile stands out to you and I'll have the chance to meet you and your lovely pet 😊

“We had a great experience with Jose David. :) Our dog, Grover, was well taken care of and came back happy and relaxed. He got to go on a nice long walk and clearly enjoyed his time. We really appreciated the attentive and thoughtful care—would definitely recommend! Thanks!”

Over: (je parle aussi français, italiano, español kaj esperanto). I always loved dogs. I used to have one in my family growing up. Lately I've been dog sitting for friends when on holidays and here on rover, and I'm really loving it (and the dogs are loving it too😇!). I am very flexible time wise. I can walk your dog up to 4 times a day, and spend plentiful of time playing with them. I like to schedule a video chat or in person meeting before taking care of a new dog to know all the practicalities and see if we are a good fit. I like playing a lot with dogs and making sure they are feeling happy and at home. I have a fenced courtyard and parks (e.g. het park) to walk them close by. I walk on leash. I have another dog (samoyed, male, you can see in the profile) that gets along with other dogs. So we can make them meet before to make sure they get along.

“Maira is a nice and reliable person. You can trust her to take a good care for your dog. Absolutely Max 🐕 and me would like to see her again.”

I share real-time updates and will contact you (and your vet, if needed) immediately for any concern, so you’re always informed and your pet stays happy and safe.
