First time Rover user! Haley was polite and accommodating. She came last minute as I am recovering from surgery and my boys were getting stir crazy being confined to the house and the back yard. She was patient, observant and my boys loved her!

About: I have experience watching both cats and dogs for over 10 years, some being my own and mostly others! I have a disabled dog currently who I care for, giving me experience with medications and specialized care. I also have had two cats with health issues so I am well versed in specialized care for them as well. I look forward to meeting your babies! I am a student currently with a fairly flexible schedule. I will have a completely open schedule starting the week after Thanksgiving to Christmas as well! I am very careful with any animal I care for. I ensure we have a meet and greet prior to make sure I am completely comfortable in safely caring for your baby❤️

About: New here to Oceanway, hometown VA, and I'm a military spouse. Looking to fill my free time with your furry friend. Currently working PT, so I am able to meet a lot of requirements during the day. I owned my first pup (yellow lab) at the age of 19 and he Reed lived for 12.5 years under my care. That’s where I learned responsibility, patience, love, and companionship for my four legged friend. I am available to sit, walk, talk, and play with your pet. The services I can provide= Special needs, separation anxiety attention, food, hugs, butt scratches, treats, and tons of belly rubs. Very outgoing, love to be outdoors, running, working out, and I own a bike if your pet loves bike rides (basket not included) I look forward to providing a positive experience for you and your pet! I am working part time and able to provide any needs you are requesting. Depending on your distance from me, I am willing to go over multiple times a day. I am not looking to stay at anyone’s home, but I am willing to go over multiples time in a day to walk, feed, and fulfill any needs requested. I have a senior dog who is on medication so I prefer to be home due to his excessive urination. I have a fenced yard if you’re dog is friendly and I can host them at my home.

About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs to birds to cats. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique quirks and traits! I work a part time job on the weekends only so I’ll have the entire week for availability! Just about any time works and I’m very open. My services will of course vary depending on your specifications for how you would like your animal to be taken care of, but my utmost concern would be making sure their needs are met.

About: I've had animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards, chinchillas, and more. I currently have two dogs who are living the good life, with no worries in the world. Sleep, play, eat, repeat. Pet care IS a part of my routine. Almost everything I do starts with the question: what's gonna happen to my dogs and cat? Can they come with me? Do I need a friend to check on them? Etc. My pets come first. I treat every animal as if it were mine. When I'm entrusted with friend's and family's pets, I am willing to go above and beyond to treat them the same as my own pets. They get to sleep, play, eat just like my pets do.

About: Hi, I'm Katherine, but you can call me Kee! I've been my neighbors' go-to sitter for the last 2 years, and have care for young and old, big and small. Before that I cared for my own dogs for 15 years before! I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.

About: I’ve had multiple pets over the years, including both small and large breed dogs and three cats. I genuinely love animals and enjoy caring for and spending time with them. I’ve watched many neighbors’ pets while they were away, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company. I’ve used Rover myself, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for the way you expect while your away. I’m currently in school for radiology, which gives me a consistent but flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, making me available for house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, or daily check ins. I’m reliable, respectful and will make sure your pets get the attention, companionship, and care they deserve while you are away. I take safety, trust and communication seriously. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for a walk, I follow your instructions closely and keep you pet's routines as normal as possible. I will be respectful of your space and attentive to your pet’s needs, making sure both you and they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m always happy to provide daily updates to you about your pets to keep you informed and remove some of the stress from your travels.
