“Brian is great with our 2 beagles, although Callie is still warming up to him, it’s nice to see how he gets her to trust him more and more each visit. He’s patient and waits for her to come to him and he is always pleasant and talks and treats the dogs gently.”

“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”

“Matthew was kind enough to walk both of our dogs with little notice on a holiday weekend. He was very patient despite one of our pups being a bit stubborn. We really appreciated his communication and would ask for his help again without hesitation. He’s a good man, and thorough.”

About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.
About: I'm here to provide short & long term service.

About: I absolutely love taking care of pet, especially with dogs and puppies. my experience came from taking care of my own pup since I was 10. My skill included potty training/ basic training and teaching them tricks. I enjoy spending time with pets, cuddling with them, and taking long walks. I spend majority of my free time hanging out with my dog and going on date with her haha. When I was younger, I would always volunteer when there are opportunities to help taking care of other people's pets because how could I not, they’re adorable!! Best part of being a pet sitter for me is the pleasure of appreciation is their of love and care! There's never too much love for these little guys! I am quite free, I work on my own schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to care for you pet and giving them my full attention I have a fenced yard so they can go out and enjoy the sun and when going to walk, i would make sure to double check their leash
“Jennifer was very accommodating. She sent pictures and updated me before and after Samson's walk. She even squeezed me in for a last minute walk while my trip was delayed. We will definitely be using Jennifer again”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11, and that's when I also started working on a ranch. Until about 2019 I took care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Animals are a very important part of my life and I'm very good at taking care of them. Taking care of pets is a full-time job, but it's one that I've enjoyed my entire life. I take care of animals in some way everyday and everywhere I've gone. Everything in my house is pet proof and I have hardwood floors just in case there are any accidents. There are gated off and inaccessible areas that the cats can get into but the dogs can't. Everybody has a space. I also have a fenced in yard for them to explore. I live in a very nice neighborhood as well, so it's a safe area to walk the dogs.
Rhawnhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was a great pet sitter! She made sure to schedule a meet & greet beforehand, which I really appreciated. Our dog Wrigley, felt super comfortable around her and I knew I could trust her to take really good care of him while we were out. Jessica followed our instructions perfectly and her communication was stellar. Overall, it was a really great experience. Thank you so much Jessica!
