“I had a wonderful experience with Tiffany as my first time using Rover. She was very communicative and engaging, always clear in the directions and attentive to my concerns. I appreciated how she listened to my worries and anxiety about my dogs, making me feel welcome and truly comforted. Tiffany was very flexible and provided excellent care for my dogs, offering regular updates as needed, which really eased my mind. Since I recently moved to this area, she was also willing to recommend better veterinary options and other resources for their care. Overall, it was a fantastic first-time experience, and I am very thankful for Tiffany’s kindness and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“We recently started working with Hannah on a recurring basis. She has been consistent and reliable. Her cute pictures and daily check ins are extremely helpful and reassuring. We look forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Stephanie has been so sweet to our animals during drop-ins, and they love when she visits! She was reliable, trustworthy, and kind to our pups, and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask her to sit our furbies again in the future!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since day one! Growing up with both dogs and cats has given me a lifetime of experience in understanding and caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting a variety of breeds, from small and energetic Yorkies to loyal and protective German Shepherds. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or daily walks, I’m here to provide loving and attentive care for your furry family members. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday! I work until 5pm during the week, but would love to take some extra much needed walks/cuddles/playtimes after work and/or weekends! I have a beagle/blue heeler pup at my home now who loves to go to dog parks and for walks! I have watched countless of family & friends dogs and/or cats in the past! I understand that all dogs enjoy and need different activities in order to fulfill their days! Whether that's from walks, playing ball, treat toys, or just snuggles! I can do them all☺️
About: I cared for pets since I was 10 years old. If I see a dog out in public, I always have to ask their person if I can pet their dog. I have trained puppies with basic obedience and potty training. I believe that dogs need to be socialized if possible. I have also cared for elderly dogs and had to administer shots and pills. My little guy was a rescue that lived for 20 years. I don’t currently have a full time dog in my home. I just said goodbye to him in November 2024. I sometimes keep my girlfriend’s miniature labradoodle. He is about 30 lbs and is great with other dogs, kids and people. He has a fun personality and is a great playmate for other dogs. I also sometimes do weekend fostering for service dogs in training with Canines for Service. I work from home. I am a single father. It is just me and my teenage son. We are both very active and love animals. I am available to spend plenty of time with our furry friends. My little buddy passed away after 20 years in November 2024. So I do not currently have any pets in my home. I do watch my girlfriend’s dog from time to time. He is a great playmate for other dogs. He is friendly with all people and other dogs. He has quite a personality. He only weighs 30 lbs. I only watch 1 dog at a time unless there is a second dog within the same family. I will watch up to 2 dogs from the same family together. I live in a quiet community with sidewalks and established trees. I have a fenced yard. I can let them out frequently. I also like to take them for walks at my home or your home.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and absolutely love them! I have previously worked in a doggy day care where I took dogs out, administered medicine, walked them, and washed them. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule both during the day and at night. I am also available during the weekends which allows me to spend lots of time with your animals. I am able to work in the homes of the animals I am caring for so I can be attentive to your animals and take them out as much as needed.
About: While I’m just getting started as a pet sitter/walker, I’ve always loved animals and have helped care for dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve had two cats of my own and grew up around dogs, so I’m familiar with the daily care, and the importance of showing animals lots of love and patience. I may not have years of experience yet, but I make up for it with enthusiasm and reliability. I’m excited to gain more experience and give your pet the care and attention they deserve! As a full time college student, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals between classes and study breaks. I’m usually available in the afternoons and early evenings. I’m also looking to be more active, and walking dogs is the perfect motivation to get moving while doing something I love. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m excited to care for your pets like they’re my own! Right now, I’m wanting to focusing on dog walking and drop in visits. When I’m in a client’s home, I will make sure to follow all instructions carefully, respect their space, and keep things clean and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s safety making sure gates are closed, leashes are secure, and their routines are followed. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and cared for every time!
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and caregiver with both basic and specialty care. I have experience with both household pets and some farm animals doing long-term in-house care, daily visits, walks, medication, post-surgery care, and both puppy/kitten and senior care! I have had pets my entire life (with 4 cats and 2 golden retrievers now) and will truly love your pet as my own! I recently graduated from JMU and began petsitting through Rover this summer. I recently relocated to Wilmington for work and would love to fit some petsitting in on the side! I am extremely detail-oriented and will treat your pet and your home with the utmost care and respect. Having pets of my own, I understand how stressful it can be to be away from your pets! I will work to make sure it is a stress free experience!
About: Ever since I was a small child, dogs have been in my lifestyle. Growing up, my family owned a female German Shepard named Greta. We now own a miniature black Poodle named Oliver, and are in the process of receiving a new member of the dog family! As the years have gone by, I have become accustomed to new types of dogs, and participated in a few dog training sessions. I care intensely both for animals and humans alike, so my passion for caring does not stop at the dogs in your house. I am a full time college student, studying at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. I hope to provide quality care for you and your pets, to the absolute best of my abilities!
About: Hi! I'm a pet mom currently without my own furbaby and would love to be your substitute pet parent! For however long your pet is in my care, I will love them and treat them as if they are my own. I have 20+ years of caring for dogs of various ages, sizes, breeds and personalities, including giving them medications/supplements. I have had one from puppy to doggie heaven, and several in between. I do not currently own one, so I would love the opportunity to hang out, cuddle, walk, and play with your furbaby! I give them the care and love they need and deserve. Up until recently, my dogs were my life. For the majority of the past 15 years, I've been used to having two larger dogs around, but now it's just me. I am currently unable to work a "normal" job at the moment and need dogs in my life! This is how I am able to earn income at the moment. Caring for them are as much of a benefit for me as they are for you and your furbaby! I am super flexible, so just because you're away doesn't mean their routine has to change. I aim to provide a home away from home for pups that stay with me. I care for them as if they were my own. Being away from home and/or from you, can be difficult so I do everything I can to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am mindful of everything a dog could get into so do my best to provide a safe, clean, and dog friendly environment for them. My life right now consists of appointments and dogs! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is on the first floor and has lots of space for a pup to still run and play.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child, and I’ve always felt a deep connection with them and been able to easily read their energy. I tend to be a magnet for strays, injured animals, and pets that “don’t like anyone.” I have previous experience with administering medications, training, caring for special needs, and making homemade food and treats. I follow instructions meticulously, because I know it is important for your pets to have consistency while you are away. Pet care is my main job and first priority. I do grocery deliveries on the side but can set my own schedule. My boyfriend, Tommy, lives with me and also works for himself, so he is able to assist with pet care as well. I have a fenced back yard and live in a neighborhood that is safe for long walks. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets and home with respect and love.
“Sarah is very quick to respond and great communicator. She showed up right when expected and made sure Archie got his energy out with some playtime when he refused to go for a walk! Look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Catherine was awesome! She not only came through during a last minute situation, but also without having time to meet and greet our dog before the time to walk her. Everything went as planned and better than I expected”
“Jenny has been fantastic watching after my dog Sophie for the last couple of weeks while I was away. She really came through in a bind and added a last minute walk when a flight was cancelled and I had to leave earlier than expected. And she's gone above and beyond addressing some health problems Sophie has been experiencing. Daily updates and photos have put my mind at ease and it's clear Sophie trusts her and really enjoys her company. I would recommend Jenny to anyone and would absolutely call on her again when needed.”
