About: I signed up to help others care for their pets because I use Rover as well. Having a trusted individual available to care for our furry friends is important. I provide excellent pet care service for others. I will inquire about your pet’s personality, special needs, likes and dislikes. I will professionally communicate with you, treat your pet with great care, and your property with respect if welcomed into your home. Thanks for considering my services, I look forward to hearing from you. Here to help. I am employed full time. Any assistance I would be able to provide would be early morning, late evening during the weekdays, and much greater flexibility on the weekend. I will care for your pets and be respectful to your home. For me that begins with good communication between you and me. Setting clear expectations between us and getting to know your pets as best as possible before the first visit.

Ashland took amazing care of my fluffy loves. It can be a challenge with huskies and their drama but she kept them happy and gave them lots of love.

About: I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and check-ins. Licensed attorney with extensive background checks who provides attentive in-home pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, companionship, overnight support, and thoughtful communication updates.

About: I have always been expected to care of my own pets from a very young age and now mine live with me at college:) I love it so much I even created my own dog poop cleaning up business in sixth grade! Anything I could ever do to help someone with their pet is so rewarding, and I understand needing to travel and see the world or visit family as I have moved around a ton when I was younger. I’m super excited to join the app! Having my animals in college has helped me ensure I build a healthy schedule not only for myself, but also them! The way I love a routine, so do they. I try to get up around the same time each day and feed dinner around the same time also. My dogs don’t eat lunch, but I have cared for animals that have and it’s all about craving that extra important time for them to ensure they feel comfortable, especially with family gone. I love the outdoors and walks during the summer so doing that is the least I could do for my babies. I’m a very flexible and communicative person which hopefully sets up the best care:) I want to be as respectful as possible, and since working at a clients home I would want to make sure I know what works best for your animal. If is a lot of outside time, space, treats, being in the crate while gone or not. anything! I can totally work around that because I want you to have peace of mind for your home and pet:)

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, but I love animals of every kind. As a biology student who can't have any pets of my own at school, I'll treat your pets like my family! I am taking organic chemistry over the summer, so my schedule will be very flexible. I am an early riser, so morning walks are not an issue for me. I am happy to make multiple visits to your pet each day! For dogs, I walk and feed them regularly and make sure they get as much exercise and socialization as they need. For cats, I feed them regularly, clean litter boxes, and give them space unless they want to be my friend. I will not touch any personal belongings unless I have permission to do so, and I will ensure the security of your home by locking doors and keeping all client information confidential. I am very reliable and I will care for your pet like they are my own!

Jennerifer was 20/10. We were struggling to find someone who would stay at our house and hang out with our kids. From the moment we met Jennifer she was so kind, professional, organized, and clearly loved animals. Her communication was phenomenal from the meet and greet to the moment we came home. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. We will 1,000% be asking her to come back in the future!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring a wealth of experience caring for a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, fish, and reptiles. Growing up in a home filled with pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and comfort in grooming, walking, feeding, and engaging with your furry companions. Rest assured, I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I embrace all breeds and types of animals without discrimination, and I'm committed to providing a warm and welcoming environment for your fur babies. As a mother of two energetic boys, your pets will receive an abundance of love and companionship while they're in my care. My sister will also lend a helping, if needed, giving your pets the extra attention and care they deserve. I can’t wait to make your pets' time with us a joyful experience! I’m currently a full time student and mother. I am very flexible with my schedule with the exception of the hours 8-9a and 330-415p for school pickup. In my home or my client’s home, I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. Most importantly, I provide an abundance of love and attention, keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel connected while their furry companions are in my care.

Elena took great care of Charlie while we went out of town for a night. There was some miscommunication at the end where she stayed past the time we had her booked for - I think she wanted to make sure we got back first to ensure Charlie was taken care of while we booked knowing we would likely be home past that time. I’m glad we were only back 30 mins after she was scheduled for!
