About: Greetings ! I am super excited to help take the stress off of you by providing extraordinary services for you and your fur babies :) I’m an experienced dog walker/sitter and would LOVE to take care of your animals for you. I have experience administering medication both orally and injections with dogs and cats , and can accommodate any special diets if needed for your animals. I love dogs and wish I could have more of my own,since I cannot buy every dog in the world , what’s the next best thing ? Working for Rover but of course ;) I have 2 dogs, 1 reptiles and three busy, fur babe loving kiddos and we just cannot get enough of animals! If I am caring for any of your animals - I will make it my top priority to make sure all needs are met , I will send you photos throughout the stay if they are boarding, and I will go above and beyond in ensuring your animals are comfy and loved while in my care ! Please don’t hesitate to let me know of any special request , for I am here to serve you excellent service 😊 I currently work from home and work a very flexible schedule , making me available 24/7 . If our schedules accommodate I am happy to do a meet and greet before booking , if you are comfortable without one that is fine as well , totally up to you ! I give the pups ample space to run and play and we regularly take walks around the neighborhood and to the park !We also have plenty of toys for the pups !
“Jada did amazingly! We were gone for a few days and got back early. She was very accommodating and great with our cat. She kept us informed the entire time which was great.”

“You came through for us when we needed you most — thank you for saving Teddy! Being able to book you at a moment’s notice was such a relief, especially knowing you love Teddy just as much as we do. He absolutely lights up when you come to visit! We’re so grateful for your care and kindness.”

About: My family and I love animals. I enjoy taking our dog to the dog park and cuddling with our kitten. They are both friendly with other pets. I will be sure to give your fur baby the attention and love needed while you are away. My schedule is quite accommodating for pet owners. I work night shift so I am able to take care of your pet during the day and I work in 4 day shifts. Meaning when I schedule for visits I am off for a specific number of days and can provide full time care. I have a large enough house and fenced in back yard to separate animals and give them the space and roaming freedom they need. I ensure safety and trust.
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke was great! Checked in every day in a timely fashion, and sent plenty of pics to let me know my lil gal and lil pal were well taken care of while away. We’ll definitely be using her next time!”

“Sarah takes such good care of our boy even for little drop in visits! She was available last minute which we really appreciate! Cant wait to continue to book with her!”
About: As a young child in kindergarten , I told my mother I wanted to become a “dog catcher”. I have no idea what that is but I know I have always had a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own. I have always had dogs around me growing up so i have a lot of experience on caring for them. I work from home full time . My working days are M-W & then on Saturday. I’ll have plenty of time to watch your pets I have a fenced yard and I also have a little yorkie chihuahua mixed dog that lives with me and gets along well with other animals.
“Meghan was the absolute best. She communicated well and we felt our cats were in the best hands. Our own cat needs medicine twice daily and she was able to give that to him with no issues. We loved all the visit pictures and updates!!”

“Karen was great with my new puppy. She was kind, considerate, responsive and caring and followed all instructions well. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

About: I have 7 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 guineas pigs here at home, so I have a lot of experience with many kinds of animals, all shapes and sizes. I can deal with any type of breed, and any type of pet (snakes, bearded dragons, etc.). I can walk, feed, and spend lots of time with the animals if needed. I prefer watching the animals at the client's home, since I have so many animals already. This job sounds perfect for me because I love animals so much, and it has a flexible schedule. Since I do have many animals at home, I am not able to stay over night at houses. However, I am able to stay late (11pm) and arrive early (7am) if needed. In my own home, we rotate the dogs outside every 45 minutes. We feed our animals at 7 am and 12 pm. I can adjust to any schedule recommended by the client. We work our dogs a bit different since there are so many.
“Went above and beyond for my sweet fur babies! She was constantly providing me with updates and pictures, I didn’t worry about my puppers when they were in her care!”

About: I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats! Love them all so much. Pets are God given, and uniquely designed by our Lord. They deserve the world and safety!!!! I’m most likely free anytime! I’m flexible!! I’m willing to work around anyone’s schedule just shoot me a text. I’m not available on weekends. 🐱🐶 I can bring pets to a nearby dog park, or just a regular local park! I make sure to watch them and try to have them get comfortable with me

Picketville pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!

Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!
