About: Here’s a warm, friendly, and professional version: I’ve spent my whole life caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and it’s something that has always brought me a lot of joy. I’ve been on Rover for a few years now and have truly loved getting to know and look after so many wonderful animals. These days, I primarily offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so it’s a real pleasure to spend time with yours and give them all the attention and affection they deserve. Here’s a polished, friendly paragraph you can use for your Rover profile: I’m currently enrolled in online school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pets. I’m available to care for your pet in your home five days a week, as well as on weekends, and I’m happy to provide as much attention, affection, and one-on-one care as they need. Your pets will never feel overlooked—they’ll have someone present, patient, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Here’s a refined paragraph that includes everything: I take the safety, comfort, and routine of every pet in my care very seriously. I follow their daily schedule closely so that—even though they’ll miss you—their days feel familiar and uninterrupted. I also care for your home while you’re away, keeping everything neat, tidy, and just as you left it. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, calm environment and keeping their personal spaces fresh and comfortable. You can trust that both your pet and your home will be well looked after.

“Mary. Thank you for all you do. Leonardo always has a smile on his little doggy face after a walk with you. He runs in circles when you come. He can't wait to see you. Even a mention of your name gets him excited. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for always being positive. It shows how much you genuinely enjoy being with him. Thank you for the doggy treats and the extra time you take playing with Leonardo. Grateful to have you in our lives. ❤️”

About: I have been around all different types of pets since I was 5. They have always been a part of my family. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and so many more. I can provide many references if needed. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with days and hours. I am also able to pick your pup up or drop off if you need me too. Since I work from home, I am able to take them on multiple walks throughout the day! Your fur baby will be treated as if they were my own.

About: I would take my dog out for walks everyday since I was 13 and would make sure she was cared for, played with, and properly groomed I am currently working two jobs part-time, but I am often available to walk dogs (morning, day or afternoon) or cat-sit in my free time. In my home, we make sure our cats are fed at least twice a day and we scoop their litter everyday. When we had my senior dog, we would let her outside often to get some exercise and would bathe her at least once a month when she got dirty.
