About: I’ve lived with animals since I was born, constantly new animals being brought in an out from my family fostering animals as well as having our own. From a young age I would take animals on walk for my neighbors and care for them while out of town. Rover gives me that sense of childhood memories being able to take care of your fur babies. I am available for boarding on the weekends and even throughout the week! I do work a job but have another roomate in which when I am away at work for a few hours she is able to play and keep your fur baby entertained and help with any needs. I have no other animals, I have a grass park within a half mile of my apartment as well as a room to let them out for shorter potty breaks outside. There is no direct backyard but I promise to provide your fur baby the proper care as going out and taking them on walks!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, rabbits, even a snake or two! I have volunteered at my local animal shelter for the last three years! I am also a long time pet owner myself and understand that knowing specific quirks to each animal is important. I love to provide environments that your animals will thrive in and live their best life! I am a full-time college student at Utah Tech but I have plenty of free time to take your fur baby for a walk or to check in on them! Weekends are amazing and I have decent availability between classes on the weekdays! Reach out for more! I will make to sure to understand the details of your home to make it as normal and as comfortable as if you were home! Your animals deserve a relaxing environment to live their best life.
About: My dog Daisy is my favorite thing in the world. She is as sweet as it gets but she is a very anxious girl and I’ve learned a lot about how to watch for her signs which gives me good experience because it’s important to read dogs. A little ironic from a psych major to talk about how it’s important to know dogs feelings haha My schedule is based around school and work. My availability on week days is after 6:30 and my weekends are wide open so weekends gigs would work best for me but if you need someone after 6:30 durning the week I may be your guy:) If we’re being completely honest I love my dog and 4 cats as much as any human and I understand that many people relate to that statement. I’m committed to taking care of your pet to the best of my ability and will do everything in my power to keep your dog safe and meet their need so any safety precautions please let me know- major or simple
About: I’ve grown up around pets and animals my entire life. I’ve helped take care of friends’ and family’s pets through my life. I am a very caring and helpful person! I have a big heart and just want your pets to be happy and taken care of! I am a full time online student looking for something fun to do with my time. I am available to be of help any time you need it! I make sure they’re well fed and taken outside. I take them for walks or play with them with their toys. I clean up after them, if any accidents were to happen.
“Linda helped us with a last-minute need for a visit with our girl, Davie. She was so great! She communicated before arriving, during her visit, and provided a great update after. She also took the best pictures ever! ♥️? We will definitely be contacting Linda for future needs!”
About: I’m new to Rover but I’ve owned and trained animals my entire life. I feel I have a special connection with animals because I generally know what their needs are and I respect them. I’m retired so except for vacationing, my schedule is flexible. No problem with times of day. Besides my own pets, I don’t have any other responsibilities. I feed mine twice a day and walk my dog once a day. My dog allows me to brush his teeth :). I like to play fetch with balls and frisbies
About: I pride myself in attention to detail in all I do. I have been around animals my whole life and care deeply. I understand their importance in our lives and our world. They deserve just as much love as we crave! I am currently in a job application phase with a flexible schedule. I can work with you. I have a car and am comfortable staying at your houses with them, especially if I am allowed to bring a friend to feel more safe. I am only offering care in your home or walks. I will work on my computer there and check on the dog as often as needed while I do so. Or I will work at my home or a library near you and stop in for walks and feedings.
“Jessica was outstanding! I was amazed my Tuxedo cat Autumn was willing to play with her off the bat as he's usually pretty shy around new people but not with Jessica! She provided lots of information about the visit and was very communicative. I will definitely hire Jessica again.”
About: Hi there! I’m a reliable pet lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I grew up with dogs and have pet sat for friends and neighbors many times—so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I love early morning walks (great for beating the heat!) and know how important regular exercise is for keeping your pet healthy. Whether your dog needs a calm stroll or a more energetic outing, I tailor each walk to their needs. They also deserve attention as much as you deserve that vacation! I can pet-sit or drop in when needed to watch out for your pup! Let’s make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and tail-wagging fun they need! Like most people here, I do this on the side of my other job. For pet sitting and drop ins, its best to schedule at least a 2-3 weeks in advance. With walks, I am usually available in the mornings to avoid the heat but depending on the day I can also do nights. Let's get in touch to find a time that works for you! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure. I stick to their usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep a calm, tidy environment. During walks, I use secure leashes, avoid busy or unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to your dog’s needs. I’m always happy to follow any special instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I have had dogs in my home since I can remember and have had many different pets growing up as well. Since we've been married (almost 25 years) we have owned several dogs, cats, bunnies, various rodents, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs, and fish! We have 6 kids who love animals as well, 3 of them currently living at home ages 15-20. You will feel comfortable with me as your animal sitter/walker because I have always had compassion for God's creatures, and I love animals (especially dogs)! I will care for them as if they are my own. I am a hairstylist part-time and just work down the street, so I have flexibility in my schedule to be home as often as i need to be. I have the time to spend with your animal playing, cuddling and walking them. We have a fenced-in yard, but I feel more comfortable keeping the animals indoors for the most part so I can keep an eye on them more closely. I don't ever let them outside without me, or their leash. My dog Sampson loves other dogs, and you can feel confident your dog will be in good hands with a loving family!

April B.
“April is the best with our dog! She has watched our dog Mila for a week and sometimes 2 weeks at a time while we're on big vacations. She's administered my dog's medicine for her day and night and took her out on a walk 4 times a day. April has been so loving to our dog and takes care of her so well! She has her own dog Sam, who Mila gets along with great. We will always trust April with our dog for our vacations and any time we're away. April also has sweet kids who are great with dogs and play with our dog all the time while she's staying there. She evens gives us updates and sends pictures while we're gone, giving me the peace knowing my dog is safe and well cared for.”
