About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. I have years of experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I also have a dog of my own, a lovable Coton de Tulear named Colby, who brings so much joy to my life. My goal is to provide a safe, comforting, and stress-free environment where every dog feels at home. Whether it’s through playtime, walks, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. Full transparency—I’m new to the Rover app and excited to build my clientele, but I have years of experience caring for dogs and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised! As a fully remote worker, I have full availability to care for your pet throughout the day. I prioritize exercise and guarantee at least two walks daily. Plus, with a large fenced backyard, your furry friend will have plenty of space to run and play all day long! Safety is my number one priority. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where your furry friend can run and play, but I always go outside with them to ensure their safety. I also prioritize exercise, providing at least two walks per day. Since I work fully remotely, I have full availability to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. In my home, I strive to create a loving, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and secure.

14. andria e.
“Andi helped us several times with our two beagles and two cats when we have been out of town. She would go above and beyond to taking care of them as she would not only make sure they had food and water and walk the dogs but she would take time to play with all of them and spend time with them. Was sorry to lose her as a pet sitter when we moved away.”

16. Rebecca A.
About: I love pets. My family has 3 dogs, the oldest we have had for 11 years. I’ve had experience caring for my dogs, feeding them, washing them, and tending to any wounds or illnesses they have. I have also taken care of friends pets which has allowed me to learn how to interact with different types of dogs. I work remotely from home and will be able to give your pets so much attention and love. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday at any hours. I live in a great neighborhood so your pets will be safe going on walks. I also live near a park I think pets would enjoy walking through. All pets will be allowed on couches and sofas but I will also respect any trainings or boundaries the owners have. My top priority is your pets safety and to make sure they are comfortable and happy, this is why I only care for one pet a day. I will care for multiple pets from the same family/house.

Amy made me feel at ease and my dog was happy every day to see her. I would recommend Amy to my friends and everyone else, too. Thank you Amy for all your help!”


18. Ryan L.
“Crikey, Ryan Loftus is a real wildlife warrior when it comes to walking dogs! I reckon he’s got the heart of a lion and the patience of a croc wrangler. Every time he takes me pup out, it’s like a proper safari – full of excitement and care. My dog comes back happier than a roo in a paddock, tail waggin’ like a ripper! Ryan’s got this incredible way with animals, treating ’em like family. If your furry mate needs a walk, Ryan’s the bloke for the job – fair dinkum, he’s the best in the biz!"”

Any pet owner looking for a responsible and compassionate caregiver would be lucky to have Jackie. I highly recommend her without hesitation.”
