About: I'm new to Rover, but I have a couple of years of experience taking care of pets of all shapes, sizes, and needs, especially puppies!! I'm currently unemployed and looking for a job, so I have plenty of time available. Just say when and where, and I'll be there! I have plenty of experience handling dogs of all sizes, administering medications, understanding their behaviors, and creating a safe space for them. I can also handle crating them if needed.

Thomas does such a great job with both my high energy pup and her older sis! You can see the love he has for what he does. The pups are excited for his arrival every morning and ready for naps by the time he brings them back. Best decision ever 😁

About: I have cared for pets my whole life and understand the importance of keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. I provide regular potty breaks and allow plenty of supervised play and roaming time. I always clean up after them, follow feeding schedules and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my family. I recently graduated and am waiting to start college. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m currently available Monday through Saturday at any time, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe and supervised environment where they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and can help keep your pet active and socialized. I stick to feeding schedules and always make sure fresh water is available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same routine while respecting their space and instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, keep their areas clean, and give them the love and care they’re used to in their own home.

About: I want to open our home for dogs that need to feel loved and comforted while their family is away. I have had a pet most of my life. Different breeds from a small terrier to large dogs. Currently we have an older lab that loves everyone. We choose a Labrador after training puppies with Guide Dogs for the Blind for 5years. I like fun energetic pets as well as slow moving or special needs. I will take pictures and videos so you can see how your family pet is doing. We retired to Green Valley 13 years ago. One of us is always home, but I will be the primary care given for your pet. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to care for your precious family member. My husband and I are retired and home full time.With a fenced back yard for your pet. And many areas to walk . If you have an early riser, I'm up at 5:30 daily. Our home has an enclosed front court yard. And a 3ft6inch brick wall in back. I keep only plants I can see under for the safety of my animals.

About: I own an InMotion V14, an electric unicycle that your dog will absolutely love! It’s perfect for high-energy outings, ensuring your dog gets the exercise they need to release pent-up energy and stay anxiety-free. As a hobby, I love riding my InMotion electric unicycle, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. It allows me to do something I enjoy while making a dog happy and giving them the exercise they need. When I’m walking a dog, I make it all about their safety, happiness, and fun. I stick to a pace they’re comfortable with, whether they’re full of energy and need a long walk or prefer a slower, relaxed stroll. I always keep an eye on their behavior, making sure they’re safe around other dogs and people. I also love giving them time to explore and sniff—it’s their walk, after all! My goal is to make sure they come back home tired, happy, and stress-free. When I care for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. In My Home: I create a clean and secure space where dogs can relax and play. I always have fresh water available and stick to the owner’s feeding and exercise schedule so their routine stays consistent. Plus, I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing or just giving them some extra love and attention. In the Client’s Home: I follow the instructions you provide to make sure your pet stays comfortable and happy in their own environment. I keep everything clean and secure, and I’m always mindful of your pet’s safety. During walks, I keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re enjoying themselves and staying safe. I also love sending updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re away!

About: Hi! I am Susan. I live in Goodyear, AZ with my two dogs Jimmy and Bambi. I am home most of the day except when I work which is only a few hours three days per week. I am also one of the Rover Premier Sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home interview with a home inspection. I believe there is really something special about every dog. I appreciate having the chance to care for your best friends and welcome them into my family. With my experience as a veterinary technician for over thirty years, I can promise you won’t be worried leaving your dog with the Rover Premier Sitter. Your dogs will be happy and really on their own vacation while you are gone. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your dog(s)! Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a child. I became a veterinary technician when I was 18 years old, and I am currently still active in the field 30 years later. I also have a friend who is a veterinarian who lives nearby. Meet my pets I have two very friendly small dogs: Jimmy and Bambi who are Chihuahua mixes. All my dogs love other dogs and are up to date on their vaccines. About my yard My yard is completely enclosed by an 8 foot fence with an overhang as well as a snake mesh. I am a certified veterinary technician. I am semi-retired so my work hours are minimal and flexible. My life revolves around my pets so they are always a priority as your pet would be also. My fence was designed for maximum safety. There is an overhang present to prevent predators from climbing over. There is also a snake mesh present to keep out snakes and other dangerous pests.

About: Hello, my name is Maxx, and I also go by Mary. I am an experienced pet sitter as well as an ICU Veterinary Technician. I have been a technician for five years, with three of those years in the ICU. I began my pet-sitting journey after experiencing compassion fatigue over the years. I have a genuine passion for animals and have yet to meet one I couldn’t understand. I became Fear Free certified in 2020. I have experience caring for special needs animals, as well as neonates and seniors who require medications and plenty of tender care and attention. I have a whole zoo of my own at home and love extending that love to other pets. I enjoy taking pets on beautiful walks with great scenery and using positive reinforcement when they behave well. I would love for you to reach out and see the services I offer for pet sitting or walking. I currently work relief in veterinary medicine, so I pick up shifts every few days when I feel I have the emotional capacity. I’d like to shift towards pet sitting and pet walking. I have lots available and very flexible as I do freelance work due to my love to travel. When I care for a pet in the home, I follow the parents’ expectations but often go above and beyond to ensure the pet is comfortable and well taken care of. When I walk a pet, I frequently assess any signs of overheating or stress and provide water, a cooling towel, etc. If the pet is stressed, I remove it from that environment and redirect its focus and mindset for the remainder of the walk so they can enjoy it and get exercise. My years of working in vet med have made me very detail-oriented, and I like to keep owners updated when they are out of town. I also collect emergency contacts and the preferred nearest vet that the pet uses. I am ALS certified (Advanced Life Support)

About: Animals deserve the best of care at all times, even when their families can't provide it at all times. From dogs who love to cuddle and hate the outside heat to dogs whose energy never reaches its end, there is one way or another to break our 'species' barrier and connect~ Walks can take any length of time multiple times a day, usually I always have treats with me on walks and work on the dog not pulling on it's leash and doing occasional sits and 'look at me's. House sitting is usually better for me on weekends if required overnight, but my schedule as a remote worker and student is very flexible <3 I’m currently working as a dog trainer, it is my main source of income. I also have a service dog in training which I constantly work with and have cared for multiple pets through out the days fitted into my schedule. I am always doing my best to keep a watchful eye on the dogs while allowing them room to adjust to me and their environment . I encourage freedom and play in dogs with safety in mind.

About: I have always loved animals, and grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. I'm a strength & conditioning specialist who loves nature and being outdoors with pets! My experience includes dogs of all breeds, pigs, birds, and cats. I enjoy helping dogs feel more confident in their surroundings and I really like Ian Dunbar's positive reinforcement philosophy in dog training. I have volunteered with diverse dog clubs in San Francisco from day cares to fitness runs in the park. My goal is to help your dog be happier through consistent exercise. Enjoying the great outdoors with a furry friend is something I looked forward to every day when I had a dog! I hope to meet you and your fur baby who I will love as my own :) Pet care is apart of my daily routine; keeping my chickens and cats fed, clean, and comfortable in their living and play areas with treats and toys available for entertainment. I have a 12' fully fenced back yard and smaller mobile gates to add boundaries as necessary. Indoor space available on hot days and as needed.
