I will treat your pet and your home with the upmost integrity and send updates via photos, text, or call as often as you need/want.

“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”

“Magan was a big help with Lucy. Lucy can be stubborn about walking with anyone but her Mom and Dad, but Magan was able to coax her and complete her afternoon walks. We had never used Rover before but this was a positive experience and if needed, would use Magan again.”

About: I worked at Foothills Veterinary Hospital as a technician for 8 years. The practice is owned by Dr.Randall. While working at FVH I worked in the boarding kennels, reception, and as a technician. There are a few clients I have house-sat for over the past couple years. I graduated from Clemson in 2017 with my BS in animal veterinary science-prevet. I went back to school for my masters and graduated from Clemson in 2018 with my MS in applied health research. After graduation I was promoted as a reproduction technician specialist. I have shown/bred AKC dogs as a hobby for close to 12 years. I currently am a registered nurse and have two loving children and 4 show dogs. I am willing to be flexible with arrangements, just let me know! I currently am working 3 days a week and have 4 days off while my kids are at school. I’m looking to fulfill my time with animals— what I enjoy most. I am able to care for client animals like they’re my own. Whether this be playing fetch, having treats/cookies or even sitting on the couch lounging. I am all about trying to keep the pets happy with their normal routine.

“Corinna is very patient with our pup while she’s getting to know her. Hopefully soon she will trust her enough to drop in while we are not home. So far we are very pleased with the service Corinna provides.”

About: My first job was dog sitting when I was 13. I’ve had a dog(s) my entire life. I worked as a dog trainer and master groomer for over 20 years but have since retired from both. Now I have the pleasure of serving the animal community as an adoption counselor matching lost/lonely pets with their new “fur”ever families. It’s my absolute joy to love on every dog I have the pleasure of sitting with. I am currently working only three days a week part time and am hoping to be able to end that job and do Rover full time. When in my home, I live in a small neighborhood in a home with a large fenced in yard. I have an 11 year old dog named Tallulah who is friendly to all dogs. While at my home, we can take walks in the neighborhood and at the local wooded park. I’ve described a typical doggy day of possible activities below.

“Shannon was professional, kind, detailed oriented and communicated effectively while we were away from our dog Baxter. She took great photos and took the time to play with him as well. We are beyond blessed she was able to work with us and will definitely be working with her again in the future.”

About: I have grown up around animals being in and out of the house my whole life! I love animals and I would love to be able to love on yours when you can’t! I currently am working a remote job (work from home) and I have very flexible hours. I am able to leave and come back to work. I am able to come walk or play with your fur babies at anytime of the day :) I can easily crate pets if needed. No fenced in back yard but I walk all pets with a collar and a leash for their safety and mine. Walks will be 10 minutes (unless requested differently). I am able to spend up to 20 minutes in your home at a time to ensure your pets are feeling the love while their pet parents are out of the house!

“Caley is very sweet to my dog. She communicates well and is always on time. He’s a husky so he’s an a big dog and sometimes can be a little difficult to walk on a leash. She runs with him and plays with him and gives him treats. She’s even asked me if she could turn on our sprinkler that we use for our backyard on a hot day so he could play in the water. He had a blast. He’s always in such a good mood when she’s been there. He’s told me people that he doesn’t like and people that he does like. He’s always super happy when she’s been there. Ive I actually had her take care of my dogs and my cats for years before she joined the app. I will continue to use Caley.”

About: I have personally cared for pets since I was a child and had my own pets since I was 16. In adulthood I had my two boys Hickory and Hans (weenie dogs). I don’t have children and I am single so they were my kiddos. Unfortunately, They are no longer with me anymore as of 2022 and 2023. I now fill that huge void by taking care of your babies! I am all about cuddling and playing with doggos and making sure they feel like the only dog in the world and will receive only child treatment! 👑 I know how big of a deal it was for me to leave my boys for a trip when they couldn’t come along and I just want to give that peace of mind to other pet parents using my calming and confident nature to care for their furry kids! I am self-employed and work from home so I am hanging around your pets a LOT while they are with me! I do like to get up and go for morning walks and nighttime walks before bed. There is a community dog park in my neighborhood that I can take your pets to or I have a huge fenced in back yard for them to play in. They will be incorporated into my schedule like they were my own…car rides, nature walks, pup cups and outings are regular over here! I live by myself and do not have pets of my own anymore so my full attention will be devoted to loving on your baby. My home is small and I can accept multiple dogs but they are just as much welcome to lay on furniture and sleep in my bed if they want to cuddle! I miss my boys so much, I get to fill the void in my life loving on your babies for a while! Definitely treat them as my own kids! Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. We can be as active or as lazy as your pet likes to be. I do like going on hikes, to the mountains, car rides, playing in rivers/lakes and walks if your baby is up for it. We can also just hang out and watch movies and relax at home if that is what’s needed for that day.

About: I have taken very good care of dogs for quite some time now. I love animals so it's easy! Most pets fall in love with me and are easy for me to manage. I currently make my own schedule and work from home, so taking about of pets is no issue for me and I would love the opportunity. I have a fenced in backyard and a spoiled Yorkie of my own. He needs friends as he is an only dog child. My children want more pets, so I do believe this would bring joy to their lives as well.

About: I've had a pet of some sort my entire life whether it was dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, hamsters or snakes! I love caring for animals of any kind. I currently have 3 fur babies, 2 dogs and a cat, and 9 featherrd ones, chickens! Sharing my love for pets by helping out while folks are away doesn't feel like a job to me but more of a fun opportunity to do something I love. I am currently working full time from home with a flexible schedule. I can take breaks for drop-ins and walks when it's convenient and if your fur baby is at my home I have a fenced back yard they can roam in anytime of day. I have a fenced space in the back yard with plenty of room for fetch and two friendly pooches to keep yours company! My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone is always home to give the fur babies love!

“Ariel is great. Loves animals ❤️ and goes above and beyond.”

About: There's nothing that I love more than getting to spend time with animals (of any kind). I recently received my Master of Science degree from Virginia Tech studying Animal Behavior and Welfare. I am currently at Clemson University working towards my doctorate in Animal and Veterinary Sciences. I'm very experienced when it comes to animal care and I would consider myself extremely organized and responsible. I am available during the weekdays and some weekends, and am flexible enough to work around your schedule. I hope that you will choose me to take care of your beloved part of the family, as if it were a part of mine! Pet care is a part of my daily routine, as I have a golden retriever and bernedoodle myself. I am an animal lover looking to spend time with your pet(s) in my free time! If your dog is friendly, I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 1 year old bernedoodle who would love a playmate and can easily help wear out high energy dogs. Just let me know if you would like your dog to meet my Finley and Willie at any time!

“Ambyr is really friendly and seems great with my little puppy. She sent a picture to me when she came and got him for his walk. I am really pleased with her service!”

We have 2 acres We have a dog run that has 6 individuals indoor and outdoor sections for your dogs to sleep inside and if need breaks away from other dogs. Dogs aren't able stay in house due to husband allergies but they are welcome to come in for short periods of time. We also outside most of the time so they won't be left alone. I have a wonderful house with a big fenced in backyard. I will crate if need. Your furry loved one will get lots of attention!

Feed morning and night and puppies lunch all in separate rooms or in their Crates. I will send update pics of your love one while I'm taking care of them so you don't feel to sad / missing them while they having a good time !

About: I have owned animals my entire life and have lots of experience caring for other's pets as well. I take pet care very seriously because I believe pets are a part of the family and should be treated as such. I work a full time job (8:30am to 5pm), so unless your home is in a close proximity to my work I would only be able to spend time with them before and after work. If your home is close enough I could also stop by during my lunch break. I can come to your home to care for your pets. I have a dog that isn't a fan of other animals so I can't bring them to my house.

“Tori was so easy to communicate with. She treated our dog Hulk with great care and had lot of compassion. I also appreciate that she helped us on such short notice so we could spend the day with dear friends/family. Thank you Tori! We would highly recommend her.”
