Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.

Jennifer was great, and available on relatively short notice. She was reliable and came on time every day, and I loved receiving the report and photos from their walks. Penny clearly had fun with Jennifer, and I'd use her again in the future.

About: I am a friend to all dogs and cats! I have had pets all my life and love taking care of fur babies. I work from home and am always available for a drop in, daycare, and especially a home for the holidays. I have a friendly small dog and aloof cat in my home . My home has a fenced in yard with plenty of grass for potty breaks. I am also experienced with giving medicine in case your little one has any conditions which require said service. Whether it's going for a long walk around the neighborhood or taking a trip to the dog park, I promise your pets will be happy and safe with me! I work from home as I mentioned so I am available for all of my services anytime. I take my work phone with me so if I need to stop by during business hours, it is perfectly fine! I care for every animal by giving them love and attention. I am the kind of person who enjoys spending time with animals so whether they’re in my home or I go to your home I always enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they know they are safe and well cared for.

About: I love animals and have taken care of dogs and cats of many different kinds for 15 years. As an owner of both a dog (Beary) and a cat (Fufu), I understand the different needs of both. I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, mood changes, and exercise needs. What sets me apart: Full Overnight Availability: I have reliable support for my own pets at home, which allows me to stay at your house overnight and focus entirely on your pets without needing to leave. Professional Trust: I am a regular, trusted dog walker for my therapist and neighbors in the local area. Observation Skills: I closely monitor behavior and eating habits to ensure every pet is healthy and happy. Clean & Respectful: As a student, I am quiet and organized. I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I have a very structured and organized routine. Because I am taking mostly online courses, my schedule allows me plenty of time for drop-in or full time visits, and I have reliable support at home for my own pets, which gives me the freedom to stay overnight at your house without any distractions. I am punctual, dedicated, and stay highly communicative with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. I truly believe pets are family, and I take their care seriously, especially when it comes to patience, routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also a regular dog walker for my therapist and several neighbors in my local area, where I am known for being reliable and safety focused. When I’m in your home, I provide a calm, steady presence. I follow your house rules and routines exactly as you like them, and I prioritize keeping a clean and safe environment for your fur babies. My goal is to give you genuine peace of mind while you're away.

About: Owned animals my whole life until recently and enjoy loving everyone else's pets until I'm ready to have my own again. Family, friends and friends of friends can always count on and trust me with their furry baby and homes. They would comfort me as much as I would comfort them. I'm patient, kind, and always follow instructions and will communicate if wanted or needed. Thank you for trusting me with your furry children! 🙂 I am currently work part time from 11am -5 pm and go to school part time. I like to spend my summers with animals. Also, a walking companion? That's a sweet deal. I have overnight sat with cats and dogs or even both. Often times if I don't stay overnight I still spend some extra time walking, playing or cuddling with your animals so they don't get lonely or cooped up. I like to follow instructions so if they have a certain routine they don't get thrown off too much. I honestly would be open to anything you need.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and sitter! Jenny did drop-in visits for our dogs while we were out of town, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely cares about animals. She made sure our dogs were well fed, kept their water bowls full, and took them on twice-daily walks. Most importantly, she made sure they weren’t lonely. She even squeezed in extra visits in her busy schedule just to give them more company and attention, which meant so much to us. She is also fantastic with communication. She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved her and always looked forward to seeing her. They would wait excitedly for her visits! It was obvious they felt comfortable and happy in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to caring for their pets.

About: I have been around dogs since birth, and began house sitting in others houses about 4 years ago. I have owned and dog sat large dog breeds, small breeds, and everything in between. I have raised my own puppies and taken care of them until they are also seniors. I understand how important it is to have a reliable sitter and want to give your fur baby the best possible care! I am a full time college student but only attend in person class for a couple hours, two days out of the week in the middle of the day. I do participate in some outdoor activities some nights of the week for small increments of time. Other than that I will spend all of my time with your animal! I only go to clients home, but I am completely comfortable staying over night. I will do anything you ask for your fur baby, and may add a couple of treats throughout the day:) ! I am also comfortable walking/running your dog, and even taking them out in public if you are comfortable.
