16. Atie A.
About: I absolutely love dogs and have two rescue dogs of my own who are just the best boys. I have a bit of experience with basic training as I have taken my dogs to training classes to work on their manners. In my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to spend time with dogs of all ages and sizes and also take them for day trips! I work from home, so I'm available all day to care for your precious fur baby just like what I do for my own dogs. During weekdays, I can take the dogs on walks in the evenings after work and during weekends I typically take them on longer hikes starting in the morning. I have a big fenced backyard with plenty of room for you fur baby to run around and two friendly dogs who love making friends.
17. Amanda & Cody A.
“Not many pet sitters on Rover know how to take care of cats. I'm glad I found Amanda & Cody. Both were super responsive and friendly, and shared pictures with us after every check-in. They took great care of Nyx & Ozzy. We came home to well fed, hydrated, happy kitties. Their litter box was also clean. I would definitely book them again, and recommend them to other cat parents.”
18. Kaitlyn S.
“Love love love Kaitlyn!! She was so helpful, cooperative, and reliable + she made sure every need for our cats were met while we were gone over the holidays. 110% recommend and we will absolutely be booking again!”
19. Natalie A.
“To say Natalie is amazing would be a gross understatement. She is by far the best dog-sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She’s so good with Elodie and you can just tell she loves animals more than anything. Her veterinarian experience with all kinds of animals has given me peace of mind knowing that if there’s ever a medical concern, she’ll know what to do. Her many years of experience in training horses has also been a HUGE bonus. She’s gone above and beyond my expectations by giving me training advice and giving Elodie the mental stimulation she needs during her drop-ins. Anyway, all of this is to say that if you’re looking for a jack of all trades, true professional, and ultimate dog lover to help, Natalie is 100% your way to go.”
