Amanda has been consistently walking Gizmo and has been nothing but reliable and patient. Gizmo can be a bit of a handful, but she manages him so well and always takes great care of him. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone I trust. I feel very lucky to have found her on Rover!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages for 6 years! I’ve assisted with training puppies and rescues and have a passion for all parts of pet care, even the messy things! I’m currently a full time college student studying Pre-Vet which makes my schedule pretty hectic! I have 2-5 classes a day which are typically an hour, but anytime before, after, and in-between, I would love to spend it with our cuddly friends! This gives them the attention they need while also providing me a space to do some studying! Pets deserve as much consistency as possible while missing their loved ones! It’s my goal to tend to their needs whether it be low or high energy. Simple or extensive diets, I can do it!

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and I have experience taking care of dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own. I know the patience and time it takes to care for pets. Dogs are not just pets, they are family members with their own unique personalities. I am here to help you because I know it takes a community to care for pets. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I can let your pup outside for potty breaks, feed them, give them water, or take them on walks. I am here to offer and extra hand when you need it.

Jordan was beyond amazing,a true life saver she came through at the very last minute for me .At first I was skeptical about allowing a stranger to care for my baby (Choppa)let alone in my home but we broke the ice when we did a meet and greet she met my baby and I I showed her around told her his schedule and from there on I felt comfortable and so did my baby chop .She was on time answered to all messages quickly and promptly every walk she gave and expensive update with photos which I loved because it made me feel better and knowing my Choppas in good hands . she’s very professional and respectful.Jordan followed schedule made sure Choppa had enough food water took him on nice lengthy walks and even went out her way to play with him to burn some of that energy lol. I really enjoyed Jordans service and I will definitely be rebooking her she is now apparent of the family!THANKS AGIN JORDANNN!!!!

Sherry was amazing, very responsive, and responsibly priced. Not only did she provide photos and updates on my dog, she also notified me when she was in transit to my home to walk my dog. She even went the extra mile to ensure my dog was actually eating food by handfeeding my fur baby. I will be booking her for future pet needs. Thanks Sherry....YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with lots of experience with different animals. I have trained, house sat, walked and boarded pets for friends and family for years and now I’m looking forward to meeting new pet lovers and offering a hand for their fur babies! I’m currently only working Rover so, I am able to dedicate my whole day to taking care of your fur baby/babies. I am very flexible. When house sitting, I make sure to wake up at the requested walking time and feeding times. I will ensure your fur buddy gets ample play time, whether that’s in the house, backyard, or at the local dog park if allowed. When dog walking, I ensure that your doggie gets the full amount of time walking as requested. If your dog loves running, I’ll run with them. If your dog loves a slow, chill stroll with lots of sniffing, I’ll follow that pace. I’m also super attentive and will ensure your doggie does not eat things they shouldn’t be indulging in.

About: I'm available all day Monday and Tuesday most weeks to care for your pup while you're away. I've been a dog mom for the past year and I love it so much I wish I could get another! Now is not the right time for that so I figured, why not pet sit! I live next to a dog park where I take my puppy (he's 7 months) every day for at least 30minutes to an hour. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures and videos of your dog enjoying themselves on our walks along Freedom Parkway or while we're hanging out at Freedom Barkway, the dog park. Let me know all your dog's special needs and I will make sure to take care of them while you're away!

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have taken care of multiple pets for friends, neighbors, and family members, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. In addition to pet care, I previously worked in childcare with RCMA, where I learned strong responsibility, supervision, and safety skills. My background in customer service has also helped me develop great communication and reliability when working with families. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about providing loving care for pets so owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. I’m currently doing online school so I would plan my schedule to allow time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m organized and dependable, which helps me maintain a routine that keeps pets happy, active, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and make sure pets have plenty of attention and supervision. I always keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable while respecting the owner’s home and instructions. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure so pets stay safe at all times. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱

About: Hello! I am an animal lover looking to take care of your animals for you. I have years of personal experience with small dogs (Toy Poodle size) and large dogs (Cane Corso size). I offer daily drop ins, walks, and overnight stays when possible. I have volunteered with dogs at animal shelters, and I am studying to become a veterinarian. I am a college student, so I am looking for some extra money on the side. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I will not do houses with only cats, but if you have dogs and a cat that is fine. I will start off my visit with a lot of TLC. Usually dogs are super excited to see someone come in the door, so they will get a lot of attention. I will do everything that needs to be done up to the owners discretion. I am almost completely free for most services. Shoot me a message and I will let you know promptly if I am unavailable (: . I have a dog and two cats at my home. I do my best to play with them in my free time. They are always happy (:
