“Jena is absolutely FABULOUS! Our adopted dog, Stella, had a rough life before she became part of our family. Stella is very nervous and somewhat fearful of new people. Jena took her time with us to get to know Stella and was never hesitant in continuing this process. It took us several weeks just to have Jena come to our house without us being home. Jena and Stella have now become very good friends! The first time she sent us a picture with Stella cuddling up on the couch with huge smiles on their faces, both Stella and Jena, brought tears to our eyes! The only other person that has been able to be alone with Stella was a trainer we had been working with. Again, just want everyone out there in Rover Land to know how AMAZING Jena is as a pet sitter. Along with the love she shows our Stella, she is always on time and is extremely prompt in responding to texts. Thank you, Jena, for being such a good friend to Stella!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, but once I met Mrs.Chyrl she was very kind and loving to my sweet fur baby. She was on time for all their walks together and she took care of my fur baby like it was her own.”
“Can't say enough about how comfortable and thankful I am with Janel taking care if our dog Cora. She comes in and Cora is waiting for her with a toy, that tells me me Cora is very happy with Janel !!! Cora is a large Bull Mastiff/German Shepherd mix so she could be intimidating but Janel has shown comfort with her which in turn makes Cora comfortable. I can see the joy in Cora's reactions with her. Thank you Janel we are so happy we found you💕”
About: We are a military couple who have a small hobby farm and love animals! We have 3 goats and a miniature horse who live on our property. Additionally, we have 4 cats, 2 of which require speciality care and a German shepherd mix dog! We have experience caring for equines, small animals, cats and dogs! We also have cat rescue experience having volunteered for a cat rescue for 9 years! We have fostered cats in the past as well! My wife is currently studying for the bar exam and thus has a very flexible schedule! I would be able to join on weeknights and on the weekends! We have three fenced in paddocks. Our dog loves to run around in the backyard. For our cats, we have four litter boxes that get scooped daily and provide them with wet food at night!
About: On walks, I’ve been known to smile at dogs yet frown at the owners. Not really, but it’s true that seeing pets on walks is my motivation for doing them in the first place. I only have one little pupper (Bella) who is 14 years old! Although she has the energy of a toddler, the way she follows me into any room any time I’m in the house is something I’ll miss when she’s gone. We take walks daily, and I’m careful not to over feed her or harm her in any way. Even though this is my first app, I think the foundation of trust and looking for any signs the lore is showing (as well as my clear communication with pet and owner)
About: I've owned both large an small dogs as well as cats. I've been around animals my whole life growing up on a farm. I recently lost my senior Doberman who was 15 yrs old due to old age. I am experienced in puppy care and elderly dog care. My elderly dog has given me experience with helping older dogs with slow to moderate mobility. I am available for last minute bookings. I work full time but have the flexibility to do drop in care in early mornings and bathroom breaks/ feedings/ walks once or twice as needed through the day M-F . Saturday an Sunday I am home an available anytime day and night. I have a large fenced in back yard and safe neighborhood for dog walks. I also can help crate train puppies or older dogs if needed.
“Holi-Nicol did an excellent job caring for our two kitties. She sent an update with pictures during each visit. We didn't have a worry or concern the entire time we were away knowing they were in good hands. This was our first time using Rover and were pleased with how easy it is to use. We will definitely use Rover again and highly recommend Holi-Nicole to care for your special family members.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and support, I’ve had experience with all stages of life. I’ve also cared for dogs with health issues, so I understand how important patience, attentiveness, and gentle care can be. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like family. I’m currently staying at home before I start medical school in the fall, so my schedule is all open any day of the week for pet care! I cannot offer pet care in my own home as I have animals of my own, but I can certainly pet sit in your home!
About: I love all types of fur babies from tiny to mighty, claws to feathers, sweet to all types of babies. Every pet deserves love to. I take care of my pets full time and I would most happy to help care for yours knowing they are not in the wrong hands I have fenced in front yard and huge backyard I also have a kennel for lab when I leave to run a errand or my two cats are in and outside all pets are vaccinated
“Haley did a great job looking after my 3 pups. She came 3 times per day to feed them and let them out. She also played ball with them to give them some exercise. I do appreciate her help and would book her again in the future.”
About: Dogs are every girls best friend. I have experience in administering medicine to dogs if they need medical attention. I also have 13 years of pet care experience. I do online college. I am able to provide reliable pet care every day during the week. I would love to take care of your pet. I do not mind if dogs get on furniture as long as the dog is clean and does not shed. I love little dog snuggles so that doesn’t bother me. I will make sure the pet is sticking to its routine & I will also update the owners on how the dog is.
