âJessica did a great job at communicating with us. She sent daily pictures of her time with our pet. She is very dependable. Will be using her services again.â

About: Iâm a lifelong animal lover and the proud parent of Rudy, my Husky (so yes... I am fluent in 'sass,' expert-level at managing zoomies, and I don't fear a little fur!). For years, Iâve been the 'go-to' pet person for my friends and family. Whether itâs long-term house sitting, popping in for midday care, or offering a safe environment to leave their pets while they travel my inner circle has trusted me with their homes and their best friends for as long as I can remember. In fact, it was their constant encouragement and recommendations that finally led me to join Rover! Because I work from home, I offer a level of flexibility and reliability that's hard to find. I treat every drop-in and walk as the highlight of your petâs day. Iâm not just a visitor; Iâm a dedicated caregiver who treats your pet with the same attention to detail and love that you do. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I will be punctual for drop-ins/walks, spend quality time with each pet, and adjust based on your instructions. Trust is the most important part of this relationship. I know itâs a big deal to invite someone into your home, which is why clear communication is my priority. I am a stickler for following instructionsâfrom making sure the door is double-locked to ensuring your pet gets their exact medication dosage. Iâm punctual, respectful of your space, and Iâm a firm believer that thereâs no such thing as 'too many' photo updates! Youâll get detailed check-ins so you can see exactly how happy and safe your best friend is while you're away.
About: I have taken care of dogs from the age of 10. I now have two dogs, one I raised from a puppy, the other having special needs. I am experienced in administering pills and liquid medication. I have experience caring for senior dogs. I always carry poop rolls, and look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work from home so I enjoy getting out of the house and going on walks later in the day. On the weekends I like to stay busy. I always try to meet your pets while you're home if possible, this helps keep your pets from getting anxious meeting a new face. When going on walks I try to meet the dogs pace to make them as comfortable as possible, I often go on runs with my own dogs. Please let me know if there is anything extra I can do to ensure your pets comfort.

Sofia did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away! She was reliable, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. She also sent numerous photos during her visits, which I really appreciated and found reassuring. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, which is all I could ask for. Iâd happily book with her again and highly recommend her to others!

Megan was great with my cat and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I came home to find everything in perfect order. She clearly takes her job seriously and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Alma is an absolute gem! She took diligent care of my cat and Axolotl while I was away and was incredibly flexible with an abrupt change of plans due to unforeseen weather. I would absolutely recommend her services and will be seeking them again in the future!
