About: I used to volunteer for an animal shelter as a young teen at the age of 16 we also fostered a lot of dogs in the past and have always had love for animals since I was a child, my favorite and most adored animal is a dog but i have a love for all types of animals especially cats and and if given the opportunity to care for your pets I assure you that your pets will be in good hands and maybe I can introduce your pets to my best friends (dogs) if you allowed it. I love to socialize my pets with new friends they are very tamed and would love to meet new friends but if not that is okay if you select me I will assure you that your furry friends will be well taken care of and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I’m currently a nursing assistant my days are full but as a caretaker I go to patients home to help care for the patient but not only do I care for the patients I also care for their dogs or cats as well and with that experience it also gave me the opportunity to give their dogs the extra attention that they need even though they get it from their owners it gives them the extra attention that their owners sometimes can’t especially when it comes to feedings but I have a good gap between my shifts and I’m only available from 1 pm to 6:30pm during the week and 3pm to 6:30 pm for check in with your fur baby and take them for a walk, I’m currently working on moving into a new place so in home care is currently not available until further notice, if this schedule works best for you please feel free to message me I’d be glad to help care for your fur babies and would absolutely love to meet your adorable fur babies. If you need a sitter for a short period of time I’m your person. They will follow the routine that you practice at your home and will be given all the love and attention that they deserve. Pretty much I will treat them just like I do my own with lots of love and attention. They will be fed and have access to water at all times.

Even without instructions she will take care of your dog as if it was hers. She would be the only one I would trust with my dog.

14. Monique A.
About: Growing up, I’ve had just about every animal a child could have as a pet. My family had goats, a sheep, ducks, dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and bunnies. Therefore, I have had experience with all these different types of animals, but more recently we have only had our birds, cats and dogs. I would say my experience with these three types of animals is in the range of 5 years as that is when I began to do more research into how to properly care for these animals to ensure they live their best lives, and I have been doing just that. I love caring for animals and playing with energetic dogs is definitely one of my favorite things to do, much like my sister’s dog who gives me a toy as soon as I walk in her house. I am also a very outdoor person so I’m great at walking and playing with dogs in a more professional manner as well. I am currently home for the summer as I am a college student who will return in September, however as of now I have an open schedule to provide help for pet owners who may need it. I have a part time job but it’s mostly on call so I am able to do pet care most of the week. My current living situation does not allow for animals to be in the home, however, I am always happy to provide aid in the pet owner’s home if needed.

About: I’m an animal lover. I’ve been taking care of dogs since 2020. I bathe them, take them on walks, my sisters dogs as well. Experience with both small and big dogs. I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a young age. My first ever pet was a black cat, l From ages 8-10, and took care of him myself. I would change their litter, feed them, play with them, and of course make sure they were healthy and happy. I've also had a duck, but after a year we gave him to our local duck park to live among the other ducks. By 2020 when I was 15, I’ve had my first pet dog, Mazapan. She’s a Maltese poodle. Who I adore. As well as taken care of family members dogs and cats for periods of times while they were out of town. I love animals so much, and I am grateful to be able to spread my love for animals by taking the time to care for other fur babies! Feel free to reach out anytime! :) I do have a part time fast food job, so I am available depending on my work schedule:) Usually Mon, Tues, Sat, Sun afternoons busy. But available for walks and house visits! New to Rover but I love my furry babies. I’m working part time in fast food. Because of the heat, I’m only available walking in the mornings before 11am and after 7pm once the heat goes down. I usually work Mon, Tues, Sat, Sun afternoons. I love walking and dogs great with puppies. My sisters dog visits often. I play with her and love to take her on walks. I love petting her and brushing her fur. Experience with big dogs as well.
17. Rachel H.
“Rachel is an animal whisperer. She has been working with dogs since high school and has many year experiences working with all types of animals. Rachel is compassionate, hardworking and really understands what each dog needs. Rachel watched my dog who is hyperactive. She acknowledged my furbaby’s quirks and took the time to give her special attention. My favorite thing about Rachel is how passionate she is to help animals in any capacity. Would definitely recommend Rachel to any persons home to give your pup the best most loving experience.”

About: I have doggie sat for my grandma over the years and have raised a litter of Mc Nab puppies and trained them before selling them. I live on a farm so I’ve had experience with a lot of different animals my entire life. I have experience with stray animals who have been abused or neglected that do not trust humans. I’m very patient and kind with all animals. I am currently in college so I’ll have time every day of the week to take care of and play with dogs. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I have two very friendly dogs to keep your dog company if needed. I have two different kennel areas to allow dogs that need to be kept in an fenced area stay in.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid, ranging from dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. As an adult I have kept fish and cats, as well as dog sat plenty of times for my friends! I have always been naturally attracted to animals and love interacting with them, each one of them has a personality and my job is to make it shine!!! Very open and flexible schedule, currently working part time. If special accommodations are needed, let me know ahead of time and we can message to work something out! In my own home I have a fenced backyard and always supervise any fur babies that go out. For client’s pets, I always perform any special needs that the pet may require and specialize in being able to deal with anxiety.
