About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 5 and cats since about a year ago. I'm far more familiar with dogs and their needs and enjoy walking with them and caring for them. I currently have two medium sized dogs who love snuggles, walks, and playing. I work part time at the Lakeland Veterinary and Hospital as a Kennel Technician. My schedule varies on a monthly basis as schedules are typically given out for the upcoming month. The first week of the month is the most difficult for me to schedule as typically the work schedule hasn’t been sent out yet. As for my work schedule it varies time frames ranging from 7am-5pm or 4pm-9pm on week days while weekends are typically 7am-1pm or 4pm-9pm. I'll be happy to discuss any time frames whether I know my schedule or not. I have two dogs at my house between 25lbs-50lbs who love snuggles and playing with each other. I go on a lot of walks with my dogs as they're both friendly and energetic. I make sure my puppies are well fed, have clean water, and give all the love they can possibly receive every day

My dog ​​and I were very happy with Christian. Christian is awesome, very attentive and caring. He kept me updated throughout the day with comments, photos and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving my Scooby with Christian. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you for taking such good care of my Scooby prince.

Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!

I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.

About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.

I was very nervous about leaving my 3 senior Pom rescues for the first time. I found Bethany and Aaron on Rover and they had so many 5 star reviews that I wanted a meet and greet with them. When we met, the dogs were immediately comfortable with them and so were we. They took great care of our babies that are on several medications 4 times a day. They stayed with them and treated them like their own. They left the house immaculate. They texted pictures everyday and kept me updated on everything. I will absolutely use them every time. I couldn't have found anyone better.

Between 2 dogs and taking care of my dad, vacation seemed impossible. Until I found Josh on Rover. He came over twice to meet the pups before we left. He gave updates, sent pictures, videos and took the best care of them. Great communication, trusting, always on time and very professional. I can’t say enough. Thank you Josh. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from dachshunds and pugs to labs, huskies, and golden retrievers. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone patient, active, and genuinely caring watching your pets. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. Since I have a dog of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. loved by sticking to their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, and lots of care. I also keep owners updated, pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and create a calm and trustworthy environment.
