“Jenna is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time ever using a app like this before so it was very scary for us but Jenna helped us through it. Sent us daily pictures and updates and made us feel comfortable will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

“Allison was punctual to every check-in, and followed my instructions perfectly. I needed a last minute sitter for my two kitties and Allison responded immediately! I was also able to schedule a meet and greet with her to show her around and talk to her face to face prior to me leaving town. Allison is also extremely friendly and I would certainly recommend her to anyone with kitties.”

“Thanks again for taking great care of Luna & Marci! Travis has been watching my dogs for years before he joined the Rover platform and my dogs always love to see him. Glad he made the move to Rover - just makes it even better having booking, payment, communication all in one convenient app.”

About: With many years of experience with pets of all kinds, loving and caring for animals is a passion of mine and always has been. I’ve grown up with a house full of pets my entire life. My experience has given me a natural level of comfort with animals and trust is established quickly. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending into my lifestyle. Here’s how it typically fits in: 1. **Morning Care**: I start my day early to attend to the pets. This includes feeding them breakfast, refreshing their water, and taking dogs for a morning walk or play session. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and engage them with some interactive play. 2. **Regular Check-ins**: Throughout the day, I take breaks to check on the pets, ensuring they are comfortable and have access to their essentials. This includes monitoring their behavior, providing companionship, and offering short play sessions. 3. **Afternoon Activities**: In the afternoon, I dedicate time for more structured play or training sessions, especially for dogs. 4. **Evening Routine**: As the day winds down, I prepare dinner for the pets, ensuring they receive the appropriate portions. After dinner, I spend quality time with them, offering affection and playtime before settling down for the night. By integrating pet care into my daily and weekly schedule, I ensure that each pet receives the attention, love, and care they need, while also maintaining a balanced and fulfilling routine for myself. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's home, involves a comprehensive approach tailored to each animal's specific needs. Here’s how I typically manage pet care: 1. **Daily Routine**: Establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial. This includes scheduled feeding times, regular potty breaks, and exercise sessions. For dogs, I ensure they get walks or playtime, while for cats, I provide opportunities for interactive play and exploration. 2. **Feeding**: I follow specific dietary guidelines based on the pet’s age, size, and health requirements. This involves measuring out portions, offering fresh water, and accommodating any dietary restrictions or preferences. 3. **Health and Hygiene**: Regular grooming is essential, especially for dogs with longer coats. I brush them to prevent matting and reduce shedding. 4. **Exercise and Enrichment**: Physical and mental stimulation is vital for pets. For dogs, I incorporate walks, fetch, and playdates, while for cats, I provide toys, scratching posts, and climbing structures. 5. **Safe Environment**: I ensure that the living space is safe and comfortable. This includes removing any hazardous items, providing cozy resting areas, and ensuring that pets have access to safe spaces where they can retreat when they need. 6. **Communication with Clients**: If caring for a client's pet, I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns they may have. This includes sharing daily logs of activities, behavior changes, and any observations regarding their pet's health. By combining these elements, I create a nurturing and safe environment that promotes the well-being of pets in my care, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

“Ellie was very professional, polite, trustworthy, and has a great head on her shoulders. I knew as soon as we met that she was the right fit for my boys. She was really flexible with her availability too. I have 2 cats and one is very outgoing and one is shy at first. He felt comfortable coming out to eat and get pets when Ellie came. She has excellent communication skills, followed directions and asked questions when necessary. We would definitely use Ellie's services again. We had a great experience using Rover for the first time also. We have used multiple different friends, some who even have cats, in the past, but they did not meet our expectations or quantity standards. Ellie was the opposite of our previous experiences and really did a fantastic job. The cats really liked her. She gave them treats, pate with their probiotics, opened the sliding door to give the boys fresh air and a nice view of the grass, birds, and pond out back. It was a wonderful idea and much appreciated!!! The cats both love looking outside and bird watching. I would highly recommend you give Ellie a chance and let her take care of your pet(s). You will not be disappointed. Thanks soo much Ellie!! My cats are my world.”

“Thank you so much for the updates and for taking care of our three furballs so we could spend some much needed time away with family! Olivia is very dependable and I would highly recommend her anytime for your pet care needs!”

Janell J.

“Aisha was great with my girls. Took them for walks, played, and kept me updated on how they were doing. My one is a very fussy eater and she took the time to make sure she ate. She stayed in home and left my house in good shape. Will look forward to using her sevices again.”

About: I’ve had pets for my whole life including multiple dog breeds, cats, lizards, and fish. I have pet-sat for friends and family for a few years and I am excited to start officially working as a pet caretaker! I am currently studying Zoology at UW Madison and I am looking forward to pursuing a career in animal care and rehabilitation. During the summer, I work part time minimally so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals mid-day, overnight, and everything in between! I do not offer animal care out of my residence but I will gladly drive the distance to care for your pets inside of your house! I will feed, leash, harness, and kennel animals as requested and bathe and administer medication if appropriate.

“Max did a fantastic job taking care of our hunting dog, Meeka! He went above and beyond to make sure she was well taking care of while we were gone.”

“We love having Briana pet sit for our two kitties while we are away. We are confident that they are being well cared for. She is very accommodating and great at taking care of our pets. Thank you Briana!”

“Good communication, worked well with my pets.”

“Amazing as always! We rebooked with Megan this week and she kept me updated and did so well with Peach! I highly, highly recommend Megan to watch your pet! She treats them like her own and makes sure they feel safe and loved.”

About: I've had pets since I was about three, so by six, I was walking the dog around the neighborhood, which taught me how strong I wasn't quite yet. Most of my experience with pets was with cats and dogs. I had two reptiles as well in our home. I have administered medication to a dog once during a stay, and would feel comfortable helping with medication if given instruction. I have a fairly open schedule right now, and I'm hoping that Rover can help me make some extra money on top of my job as a delivery driver. I can provide care by letting dogs out, taking them for walks, grooming, and playing with them. I respect people's privacy and will stay in areas of the home that I'm asked to be in.

About: Since I was four I took care of my own dog who recently passed. I am looking to fulfill my growing need to love for and take care of animals. I volunteer at my local animal shelter where I watch cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. I have dogsat dogs as big as Newfoundlands and as small at Shih Tzus. I currently have two jobs and I am going to college in the fall but I am looking for this to be an end of summer job. I know how to use crates, gates, and doors needed for blocking the pets off or keeping them contained. I also know basic safety for dogs and cats as I had to be trained to volunteer at my animal shelter.

“Kyla did a great job taking care of our senior puggle, Toby, on her drop-in visits. She consistently used the check-in and visit ended features on the Rover app and sent several pictures of our boy during his care.”

Katy M.

“Avianna did a great job with my cats while we were away! She made sure to take tons of photos of each of the cats, and even got some snuggles in with one of them! She gave detailed updates and made me feel very confident that our cats were safe and happy. I definitely would book with her again!”

About: Hello! I am Cortlynne and I love pets of all shapes and sizes! I have a substantial amount of experience from my time at a pet daycare where I worked with many different dogs on a regular basis. In my free-time I volunteer at my favorite local dog and cat rescue where I love to exercise and photograph the pets. I am knowledgable about medication dispersal, dog/cat handling, and dog/cat body language. All my life I have had dogs who ranged from sizes as small as a king charles spaniel, to as large as a great dane! Beyond dogs, I have experience with farm animals, rabbits, cats, rodents, fish, and so much more. Animals are my passion, and I take their care very seriously. I have two fur-babies of my own who I have invested hours in training and exercising to ensure they are as healthy and happy as possible. My three-year-old golden retriever, Ryder, has traveled with me across the country on vacations and was sort of an unofficial campus mascot at my college. My other girl, Kida, is a rough collie puppy who helps me practice my dog grooming skills every day! In other words, my experience and knowledge makes me well-equipped to handle various pet-related situations, and I am compassionate towards ALL types of dogs! I am currently available for hire whenever I am needed! I am open to house sitting bookings, though I would like to build a relationship with the pet and owner prior to scheduling. Feel free to contact me for discussion! I take safety very seriously on walks, thus I will bring along clean water for your pup for those hot summer days. I keep all dogs well-secured, and I am willing to advocate for any pups who are not too fond of strangers or other animals. If permitted by you AND your pup, I have an exceptionally friendly golden retriever girl who can attend the walking sessions. I am very patient for those pullers or "I like to sniff everything" pups! While working at a doggy daycare and volunteering at an animal rescue, I have gathered a plethora of experience in handling animals with specific personality requirements. I understand dog body language, and I know how to respect an animal's boundaries. Do not be afraid to message me about any concerns or questions!
