19. Jodie & John H.
“I have known Jodie for several years. I spent 8 hours a day 5 days a week with her and got to know what a caring, thoughtful generous person she is . There isn't anything she wouldn't do for anyone, and goes out of her way to make whatever she is doing the best it can be. This goes for her pets along with any and all animals of any kind. I've seen her with her own pets and how she loves and takes care of them. I've seen her feed and make sure feral cats in her neighborhood have shelter turning her own garage into a safe haven for them. Her pets are her family they travel with her and she has all the necessities to make them feel safe and right at home wherever they are. If anyone would be a candidate to work for Rover and be a pet care giver it would be her. Any pet under her watch will fall in love with her, and any pet owner will have the peace of mind knowing their pet is in the best hands and will be safe and cared for without reservations. I honestly dont know another person more deserving than Jodie for consideration.”
20. Charlene W.
About: I have been pet sitting for my family and friends for years ( collies, basset hounds, cats, labs, doodles). I have also owned my blue heeler for 3 years; she is a herding breed and keeps me busy! I am currently working part-time on getting my pelvic floor physical therapy clinic off the ground. My schedule is very flexible and have time to take care of your pet's needs. At my home: I have multiple leads where to dogs can go outside. I walk my own dog 3-4 times a day so getting outside is not an issue. I also have multiple crates in the home as well as a gunner crate for the car.
