About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was 10. I’ve taken care of blind dogs, Diabetic dogs, and dogs that are prone to seizures. I worked at a veterinarian office for two years and while in the military was a volunteer at vet clinics on the weekends when I wasn’t on duty. My whole life has revolved around animals from Chihuahuas to great Danes. I have assisted in potty training for young pups with great success. It just takes love and patience. Dogs are a chapter in our lives, but to dogs we are their whole book. I am retired and Home seven days a week. I have nothing but time on my hands and I want to spend it caring for pets. If your pet is staying overnight with me first thing to know is they will be sleeping with me in a king size bed, snoring is a plus 😊 in the mornings when we get up, usually around 6:30 or seven, we go outside to potty. If your Pet is not potty trained, no worries I will have pee pads light out in case of any accidents. Once we come in, I make their breakfast and while they eat, I have my coffee. After they eat, I wait around an hour and a half to two hours before play time, this gives their food time to digest, especially in big dogs that are prone to stomach flips. We will chase balls, play, tug-of-war, or whatever their toy of choice is even if it’s just play play play. We go for walks in the evening and then it’s dinner time. After dinner, I like to brush them and just sweet talk them.

What a find Beatrice is! Rover offers many compassionate, responsible folks to take care of our fur babies, and Beatrice has both of those qualities in spades. But she’s also a trained veterinarian, which only added to our peace of mind when we left our spoiled Lab at home for a long day while we traveled. Beatrice made three visits, always giving our pup plenty of time to stretch her legs, go potty, sniff squirrels and snuggle. Our Daisy thinks she’s a lap dog, but Beatrice was willing to let her sprawl 70 pounds of Lab lard across her on the couch. Accommodating to say the least! The numerous photos she sent made us feel we’d put our baby in the perfect hands. We will definitely use Beatrice again.

As a first time user of Rover, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Hannah. She was conscientious, consistent, communicative, and caring. We have quite the menagerie and Hannah looked after each one with such care and attention. I highly recommend leaving your furry loved ones in her care. Thanks again, Hannah.

Maria did a great job with drop-in visits for my 2 cats. I appreciated that she communicated often with updates and that she was dependable. My social girl took right to her and my shy boy even came out to play on the last day.

Cate immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our furr babies would be well taken care of. And, they were! She was amazing with communication and punctuality and our animals loved her. She is someone that you can trust with your beloved animals. It is a game changer for us in our ability to go away and be able to truly relax knowing someone who is responsible, and so kind and loving is with our furry kids. Highly recommend!

Jennie was wonderful. She sent us pictures of Bunny each time she came and made sure she was well fed. When our water went out while we were gone due to a broken well pipe, she contacted us immediately and brought over water for my cat. I’d definitely recommend her and will call her again.

Monique was fantastic when she watched Stubbs and Atticus. She came by for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. She sent us updates and photos and the pups were in great spirits when we came home. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!

About: I’ve had pets ever since I was really young and always wanted to get into the field of working with animals. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals from dogs to bunnies to guinea pigs and almost all of them have lived a very long life. I’m always excited to see any animal and work with them no matter what kind they are. I look forward to seeing every animal that comes my way and taking care of them as if they wear my own. I am currently working a part-time job, but I hope to transition to make this my part-time job. I am available and home every day of the week except Sunday (when I make this job my only job) and I’m home almost every hour and I will always make time for your pet. Well, the yard is on a hill and not fenced. I do have one dog three years old very friendly to keep any animal company. And if your dog needs to be in a crate. I can very much do that.

About: I love cats. Especially the type that wants to curl up next to me. Do to my boyfriend having an allergy to cats we currently don’t have any. But I don’t mind dropping in and taking care of the fur babies. I’m currently a 911 Dispatcher for Transylvania County. I work every other week there. (Week on; week off) I will post my monthly schedules that way you can know if I’m a best fit for you. I would prefer not to have other dogs at my home. Due to one of my dogs not being all that friendly. But do not mind going to other homes and taking care of dogs through out the week.

About: Growing up, my family has always had lots of pets. Big and small dogs, cats, rodents, birds and fish. I had my last dog, Raya for 8 years. I don’t think I will be able to get another dog for a long time, so for now I’m very happy taking care of yours as my own. I do also have some dog training experience as well, so if that’s ever a need, I’d be happy to help with that. Upon request, I can provide you my wonderful references from over the years (: My schedule is very flexible, just give me a few days notice if you're looking for overnight care. I'm also available for dogs walks daily! I currently provide drop in, and overnight services in clients homes. And I am committed to not only making your dog feel safe and comfortable, but also providing a fun, enriching environment for them. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, ages and breeds.

About: Caring for animals is something that runs in my family both my mother and my aunt are deeply involved in various rescues including but not limited to puppers, cats, even spiders of all shapes and sizes. We treat our fur babies like one of us and they are definitely part of the family. We will spend lots of time together walking through open fields and woods playing fetch if they are into those kinds of things I’m also ok with just sitting and sun bathing, we go fishing if the weather is nice. They will never have to worry about being alone or being forgotten or scared because I will be there any time they need. Lap dogs and cuddle buddies are always welcome !!

Lacie did a great job taking care of my three cats. Unfortunately my three legged cat is a scardie boy so he didn’t let her pet him but the other two did great. Thanks again!

Abagail was wonderful with our little Keller. He is pretty much blind and so is very careful when approached but he seems very comfortable with Abagail. She sends the cutest photos regularly and is very conscientious. She even brought in packages that were left at the door.

We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Michael’s care while we did a day trip out of town. The visits to our dog were right on time and we loved seeing the photos. Michael even brought our pet food delivery in from the front porch. We will definitely use Michael’s services again.
