About: I’ve taken care of adult dogs and puppies. Potty training, and chewing training. Playing with them to help them exert energy, and bring the life back to them. I’ve helped with cleaning ears (helping restrain large dogs for the task), helped with administering meds for car trips. Transported dogs to vets offices (even with the bathroom trip in the middle😅). I am currently driving with DoorDash as another source of income , but I am completely able to work around your pets schedule and needs. If you need an additional check in on your pets if I’m out and about with DoorDash just send me a message and I’ll see to them as soon as I can! ❤️ My partner and I currently have a cat that we both take care of. And boy, is she spunky. She hates when her litter box isn’t clean, so, daily cleanings are a must. We check the water and make sure that it is always full (food too)! I make sure that they are entertained with toys and treats (and catnip for the cats)
About: I grew up around animals and have had my own ever since. I lived on a farm in the country and loved every minute! Now living in the city I am only around 2 pets and I can’t get another because of my apartment restrictions. Getting to dog sit or walk even them would be so fun for me! I have a cat so I am taking care of him daily. My roommate also has a dog so I get to help with her too. I have a a bunch of pet toys, food and water, bowls, and beds! The pets are allowed to be on my bed and can cuddle up in blankets. I can put my cat in my roommates room along with her dog if the pet I am caring for cannot be around other animals. I usually sit out food and water just so if they are hungry they can eat whenever and I will just refill whenever they are scheduled next.
“Heather took good care walking both our dogs They were happy and tired when I got home. She was very good to work with the time I need them walked. I will definitely book her when I need a dog walker.”

“Using Rover for the first time and my current schedule calls for last minute scheduling- Angela has been an incredible help accommodating this. We so appreciate Angela and her wonderful care!”


About: I like dogs because they encourage me to be active. Keeping pups clean and pretty is fun for me because my dog doesn't like water. I treat all dogs like children. I walk 2 Rottweilers everyday Monday thru Friday. Also, I walk and play with a Golden retriever named Hershey Monday thru Friday. I have stayed at my sister's house, she has a pitbull, blue heeler and lab mix. I have kept my parents Japanese Chin and Pekingese. So I have lots of experience with many different breeds of pups. I have never met a dog that I didn't get along with or that didn't like me. Dogs are like people and should be treated that way. I enjoy spending time with cats too. I am not a reptile person.
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Rio was wonderful. Great communication and cute photos of my 13 year old Shih Tzu. No complaints. Will definitely request Rio in the future!”

About: Hello pet parents my name is Octavia (i prefer to go by my middle name)! I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MORE THAN JUST DOGS AND CATS SUCH AS CHICKENS AND DUCKS !! I am military and I am able to access base when needed. I am 21 years old and I LOVE animals!! Due to my Army career I live in a loft with my wife, my dog. Taking care of animals is my calling! I have now been in the Army for three years. I joined to further pursue my college education and become a veterinarian in the future. I am extremely passionate about the care that animals receive. I have volunteered for lots of shelters since i was young to learn all about animals and their needs, so it is my duty to ensure that your fur baby is well taken care of. Being that i worked with a lot of trained animal handlers, I have experience with animals who have many special needs such as diabetes, aids, cancer, seniors, etc. I also have experience with many different ages and breeds of dogs/cats. I previously worked at a groomers and volunteered at a pet shelter. At both establishments I fed the animals, bathed them, played with them, and took them out for restroom breaks. | love to stay active so I go on a daily walk/run and I would love for your pet to accompany me. I have plenty of room in my schedule to spend quality time with your pet. This would include going to the park, play time, and even cuddle time! While you are gone from your sweet fur baby, I will be available for communication 80% of the time. I am more than happy to send updates on how your pet is doing upon request. Anything that makes you and your pets comfortable I am more than happy to do. The less stress there is for you and your fur baby the better! I am here for your needs!! I am extremely excited to be pet sitting again as l did this before I joined the military. I work from 9-5 for the time being until my shift changes but am truly excited to be able to rush home and care for your pets. I will always keep you updated on my schedule being that my hours change every 3 months. I have a dog and a kitten right now and I constantly do research on their diet and behavior and their well being to make sure I am giving them the best possible life that they deserve.
About: Have been a Pet Parent for 40+ years. I just retired fulltime and have been without a pet for two years. Decided that instead of getting another pet, that I would do pet sitting. I love animals and what is a better way to experience new type of breeds. Will LOVE your pet as if they were my own. THANKS FOR READING MY PROFILE AND ANXIOUS TO MEET YOU AND YOUR PET!!!!! RETIRED AND OPEN FOR SITTING, ALMOST ANYTIME. WOULD PREFER TO NOT SIT LATE AT NIGHT BUT HAPPY TO DO OVER NIGHT. HOLIDAYS ARE ALSO OPEN. I LIVE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND PLENTY ROOM TO WALK. IF YOUR DOG LIKES DOG PARKS, WILLING TO TAKE THEM THERE ALSO. I PREFER NOT TO CRATE UNLESS NEEDED WHEN ALONE.

About: What’s better than staying at fun grandparents house? Our house! My husband and I dont have human kids but for the last 20 years we have had our 2 dog babies that were spoiled every day. Sadly we are now "empty nesters". We thought dog sitting would be a fun chance to care for dogs again. Over the years we have made our lives fit our dogs. I was even a stay at home dog mom for 5 years as our oldest needed more attention. We understand it’s hard to leave your pups, and not just anyone will due. We have cared for old dogs, our Max was 17 when he passed. We also have experience with big dogs. Our Redford was a 105lb doberman goofball that would not take NO for an answer. We understand medicine schedules and the importance of structure throughout the day like walks and potty breaks, even feedings three times a day. I work part time and we are both home on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. We like to walk and get outdoors and we have a big fenced yard that has more than enough room to run and play, it even comes with a fun neighbor dog that, if it’s ok, can play anytime! We have a smoke free, clean, quiet and calming home. We will stick to your dogs schedule and give plenty of hugs and rubs. We have a lot of left over toys and balls, leashes and gates. Your dog will be extra safe and relaxed in a country setting with a lot of birds and rabbits to chase around. We have your 3 day weekends covered! We can take pets Thursday evening and pick up Sunday evening. If you need more days, extra planning may need to be involved on our end and we are happy to accommodate. We usually wake up early so early morning potty breaks are no big deal. They will be sure to get their daily walkies,(weather permitted) or we come up with games we can play indoors. With approval, even take field trips to many nearby trials. We are happy to feed your babies and/or give them treats and stick to the schedule. We can play all day or If you have an oldster, just sit next to them so they know someone is there. They call the shots in this house!
“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”

About: Hi, my name is Kelly and I have grown up with dogs since I was born and couldn't imagine life without them. As a teenager, I took care of our family dog and also was a dog sitter for friends. For the past 5 yrs, I have been mom to a wonderful german shepherd. She is my child and is treated as such, as all pets should be! We love to go on adventures and spend as much time outdoors as we can. As a sitter, I will treat your pet as my own and can send pictures to keep you updated. I have been a sitter for dogs, cats, and hamsters. We also had rabbits growing up. I have also been a dog walker for the ASPCA. I currently am teleworking full time so I flexibility for day time walks/visits around my meeting schedule. I am also available most weekends that I am in town. Having had lots of experience working with different doggy personalities and breeds, I’m confident and comfortable watching all dogs. Safety is obviously of the utmost importance and so I would like to know about habits and things to look for before watching your pup (i.e is your dog a door dasher or a counter surfer).
“We are so very happy with Robin's care of our 7 month old while taking her for daily walks. She is helping teach her good manners and also helping to train her on the leash. Robin goes above and beyond what we expected and we are so thankful for her.”

About: I’ve had dogs since childhood and consistently walk, let them out and play with them! When your pets are with me they get quality love. I work remote so I’m able to let them out on a regular basis. I also walk them 1-2 daily depending on what is needed. I have a large fenced backyard and plenty of space in house to roam, nap, and play. It’s a pet friendly environment and set up for pups.
About: Growing up I do not remember a moment that my family did not have an animal in our household. I used to always want to spend my time with animals and always had that option. My mom was just as obsessed with animals as I was. There was a point in time that we had two cats and five dogs in the household. I love the connection that people can build with animals and the care that there is for each other. With all of these animals in our house, I got pretty accustomed to washing, feeding, walking, playing, etc with them. My stepdad bought a Rottweiler puppy when I was a teenager, so I was able to watch how he trained the dog and the phases they go through as puppies. Although, I do not own an animal of my own at the moment, I always enjoyed the times when my life had an animal in it. I would greatly enjoy to help others contribute to taking care of their animals with the extra time I have. I currently work part-time as a server with a flexible, open schedule. I would love to spend my free time giving love to all animals. I have a schedule that would allow me to be available to give care to your animals with walks, attention, feeding, and much more! Currently, I live in an apartment complex that does allow pets, but do not have any of my own at the moment. I have dog sat my family's animals for over the past few years, dealing with multiple dogs at once, cats, senior dogs. I would love to expand beyond my family's animals.
