About: I grew up working on my grandmothers farm and helped managed a rescue of birds, reptiles, farm animals, rodents and house pets. I now have three dogs and rebuilding my farm! I’m a stay at home mom for a 9and 3 year old but I’m pretty flexible with time as I have help! I can work with what ever schedule you have and if not and can work to help find someone for you! I have an extensive history of caring for pets, whether my own or others, including feeding, playing with them, talking to them, keeping them company, and much more while their owners are away, at others home I try to play and confer them as much as possible try and keep them on their routine and try not to change much of their daily style.

“We hired Heather to housesit and watch our two dogs for two nights. She was a dream to work with! She left my home how we left it; frankly I couldn’t even tell anyone was there. She was very respectful of my house rules & my dog care preferences. Heather was punctual, respectful and has great communication. Our pups clearly enjoyed her presence and also, they loved staying home and not going to a traditional boarding situation which was huge for us. We have a large breed #110 dog and a #6 dog which she handled both with ease. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!”


“Sheyenne did an amazing job watching our chewie. When we returned chewie was in great shape, happy and very well cared for. Sheyenne provided us daily updates, photos and videos and left our house in better shape than when we left for vacation. We will be a repeat customer for sure and highly recommend Sheyenne.”


About: I have had a love for Animals since I was around 12:00 had my pet for 17 years until he recently passed. I am home work based so able to give full attention to the pet. I work from home and my pet has been with me for 17 years and working from home he has given me that company that I needed while at home working daily I have a very large backyard that is fenced in and that allows the pets to run freely or they can be tied on a Long Leash. The pet can be kept inside I do not suggest caging

About: Hi, I’m Daniel! I’ve been a proud dog owner for years, and I currently care for three amazing pups: Thor (a Cane Corso), Max (a Husky), and Ariel (a Maltese). Each one has their own personality, and I’ve built a real bond with them over time. One of the things I genuinely love is taking my dogs out for walks. I enjoy being outside, feeling the sunshine, and walking my two bigger dogs, it brings me peace and happiness. Thor is a gentle giant I raised from a puppy after getting him from a family friend. I wasn’t sure what kind of dog he’d grow up to be, but with patience and training (like I’ve done with all my dogs), he’s become incredibly sweet and well-behaved. Max has been by my side for the past few years and has been one of the best companions I’ve ever had. Ariel is more of a family dog, but as a Maltese, she’s full of love, always wagging her tail, and constantly looking for pets and attention. Caring for them has taught me a lot, not just about responsibility, but about how to really connect with dogs and understand what they need. I’m currently in flight school, and pet care has become something I truly enjoy doing on the side. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, some playtime, or just someone kind to keep them company, I’m here to help however I can, and I’ll treat them with the same care I give my own. Pet care fits really naturally into my life. I already walk my own dogs every morning and evening, so taking care of other dogs doesn’t feel like extra work, it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m currently in flight school, so my weekday schedule can vary a bit, but I always make time for the dogs I’m responsible for. I’m usually available in the afternoons and evenings during the week, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. If I commit to caring for your dog, you can count on me to show up, be consistent, and treat your pet like one of my own. I’ll always keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly so you’re never left wondering. When it comes to caring for pets, I take safety and comfort seriously. Whether I’m watching your dog in your home or stopping by for a walk or drop-in, I always try to create a calm and welcoming environment. I pay close attention to how each dog reacts to new spaces and people, every pet has their own personality, and I respect that. I keep things clean, stick to routines, and make sure pets have everything they need: food, water, exercise, and affection. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I’d expect from someone watching over mine. I’m always gentle, never forceful, and I never leave a dog unattended in an unfamiliar or unsafe situation. I know how much pets mean to their families, mine mean everything to me — and I’ll do my best to earn your trust and make your pet feel right at home. I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions: Respect the owner's specific instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and other care requirements.

About: I have worked consistently with a couple families and several drop in services for family friends! I have taken the wonderful doggos on walks, assisted with their medications, fed them, provided baths/brushed their fur, gave them extra pets/hugs. I can provide basic animal care, I always do my best to observe their body language as well to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I have also helped with a special needs doggo who was blind, gave him his medicine, guided him through his backyard to use the restroom, etc. I would also love to provide any cleaning such as cleaning their bowls, vacuuming up any hair, cleaning crates, etc. I do work full time on the weekends during the night and a few days of babysitting during the day during the week, but I am always flexible with my schedule! I always listen to the let parents and how their schedule typically is and go off of that, I really do love animals so I’ll spend more time playing with them, especially if the doggo wants that play time and extra love!

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me.

About: New to Rover! I love & care for dogs and other pets! I was raised with a house dog, the best friend ever! I love walking around my neighborhood and neighborhood lake.

About: I’ve had 2 childhood dogs who recently passed away. One was an English bulldog and the other was a shitzu.

I LOVE all breeds of dogs and I’m very excited to care for new fur puppers!! I currently just moved out of my parents and am looking for a side hustle. Aside from the funds- I genuinely love animals and have been looking forward to having my own fur baby in my new apartment someday. I live in Ennis and have a very flexible hourly schedule. I am also available do do overnight sitting and regular sitting if needed! I make sure to take the dogs out frequently to do their business. If accidents occur I am able to clean it up on any type of flooring. For younger dogs, I have a lot of energy to help keep the puppy active and help them let out all their energy. I will feed your dog depending on the feed schedule you have set them on. I can also reward your dog with treats for good behavior or new skills.
