“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

About: Hello! I’ve been house/pet sitting for around 5 years now. I have experience with a variety of animals at all stages of life. I will follow your directions to the letter and care for your babies as if they were my own. I have had pets since I was five until recently. I currently am looking to add clients for pet care. Let’s chat and see if we mesh! I currently do gigs, mostly pet sitting, right now for income. So thats where my focus is these days! I take daily walks and would be sure to bring your baby with me! I am getting into grooming to add as a service to my clients. Currently I do not have any pets myself. My parents do have a dog and when I am there I take him out for walks and runs, brush him, love on him. I would follow your directions as to how to care for the baby animals.

About: Hello! My name is Hayley, I have grown up with a wide array of animals my whole life. From scaly, to feathery, to fluffy, to even the hairless ones (they deserve love too!) - I will be able to care for pets from itty bitty to large! I have 2.5 years of experience in a professional field working with animals, and it has allowed me to be fully comfortable judging animal behavior. I trust myself working with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I will say though, senior dogs have a way at pulling at my heartstrings the most. ❤️ I have experience administering medication for dogs and cats, even the ones who would rather not be getting medication from a stranger. I will absolutely let you know if I think I am incapable to meet your needs, to not risk anything. The safety and happiness of your beloved pet is the top priority. Photos, videos, updates galore - I will be sure to update you as much as you need to know that your furry friend is in safe hands! What sets me aside from other sitters is the attention to detail I care about in making sure your space is respected while I'm there. I will make my best effort to make it look like I wasn't even there, despite staying with your furry friend(s) the whole time! My schedule changes around often so I'll try to fit you in wherever I can! I'm newer to Rover, but not new to sitting/drop-ins. I'm currently marking my booked days as "unavailable" since I have clients I work with outside of Rover. Regardless of what the calender says, please feel free to reach out to me and I'll see if I can make things work! I will not be offering my own home for pet sitting, but I am willing to pet sit at yours! I believe in keeping your pets routine as close as possible to normalcy, so they can get comfortable with me in their space while you're gone. I require a visit beforehand before any service to meet you and your pet(s) and to discuss their routine! If you want any training/walks, please express that and we will talk and I will be sure to meet your expectations!

About: As an animal lover and caretaker over the past 40 years, I have experience raising dogs through all ages of life from puppies to seniors & deaf dogs, as well as cats, and farm animals. This love for animals began even before I was a high school 4-H and FFA student working with large farm animals, growing up with cats and dogs. As a pet-sitter for others, I have cared many kinds of animals in addition to cats and dogs I was the Dog Leader for the Murphys 4-H for 7 years and assisted the kids in training their dogs to show at the fair. By assisting my girls and our dog Rascal, they excelled to the highest level of Obedience. While I have experience training animals, I also love to offer them tender loving care, spending quality time with them, and being their friend. It is important to me that dogs and humans both enjoy play and joy in their days, so I am happy to offer this for your pets when you cannot be there. I currently have a very open schedule, so I am most available to meet your pet care needs. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet at your convenience. When caring for pets as a sitter, I respect both your space and your pets. While I am walking others' dogs, I feel best with on-leash walks, and I will clean up after them. I also always provide animals with fresh clean water during my visits and routine caretaking. I like to keep the home and pets clean, safe, and comfortable while you are away.

About: I have over 20 years experience taking care of other people’s “fur babies”. I love them like they are mine. I am very responsible, dependable, observant and able to handle any unexpected situations that might arise. I am self-employed and work part-time so I have a lot of availability. I have the ability (and desire) to give pets quality time and attention. Every pet is unique and their needs are different. Some pets prefer physical connection while others prefer having a ball thrown for them to chase. Like us, pets each have their own love language. I endeavor to “speak” love in the language each pet prefers.

About: I am a born and raised farm girl. I have taken care of all kinds of animals especially dogs and cats. I love to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I have a lot of experience in general care and would love to meet and care for your fur babies. I am currently a part-time student and work mainly online so I will have plenty of time to be with your pets and spend quality time playing/exercising. I have friendly fur babies here at home that would love to play with yours. I do happen to have one dog who isn't as friendly but he is always crated when other dogs are around so there is no worries in your pets getting hurt here. I assure you that they will get the best care and love here.

About: Since I was little, animals have always been my passion. I've grown up with everything from dogs and cats, to lizards and even rats! I've been trusted in pet sitting for friends and family's dogs and cats since I was 13, and currently sit for a few clients and their lovely dogs. I have 2 Golden Retrievers, a senior chihuahua, 2 cats, and a small flock of chickens of my own. I have raised and trained both of my Goldens, volunteer with F.O.A.C. for animal enrichment and feel I have a strong understanding of animal body language and behavior. My animals have always remained a priority for me, and I love them like they are my kids. I will make sure your animals receive the same love and care, as if they were my own. I am passionate about animals and providing them with love and care they deserve, animal care is my every day. I volunteer for local animal rescue F.O.A.C on Wednesdays, and work from home so I can care for my own animals, and have plenty of time to spare. I take the safety and care of animals very seriously, as I feel that they are deserving of respect and love just as much as we are. I am a diligent, responsible, and experienced pet parent and sitter who will provide loving care for all ages and sizes of dog, cat, bird, or reptile.

About: Growing up with animals my entire life, I've branched out to caring for other's animals. From dogs, cats, snakes, and aquariums of all sizes, I am familiar with caring for all kinds of animals including those with special needs. I have worked with blind animals, those with complex medication routines, and those that needed physical therapy. I have also assisted in training animals with behavioral issues and prevented damage to homes while per owners are away. I also volunteer for the local FOAC in my free time. I'm a full time animal lover and would love the opportunity to take care of your furry family! I work full time but have the ability to work from home. I am especially available on weekends, evenings, and holidays. Simply book me and I'll make your schedule work for mine! I have stayed in homes for months at a time caring for animals while owners are on vacation. I am sure to be respectful of your privacy, sticking to specified areas, and focusing on my assigned job of caring for your furry family members. I prefer to leave everything clean and untouched after pet sitting, like I was never there. I am also very quiet with hobbies like crocheting and reading, being respectful of any surrounding neighbors.

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog and I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. What sets me apart is that I am very dependable. I am available from Sunday’s-Thursday’s anytime before 7pm. I currently am going to be getting 2 part time jobs so I will keep you updated on my schedule. I live in a shared home, so I don’t think I can have animals at my home. The backyard is a decent size and I just have to get permission from my roommate to board animals at her home.

“Thanks so much for walking Loki!”

About: Of course! Here's a casual, cute, and warm version that includes both dog and cat care: Lover of Furry Friends I’ve been caring for dogs—and now cats—for most of my life. My dad always said pets are family, and I totally agree. I grew up spending weekends at a rescue shelter, getting covered in puppy kisses and cat purrs, and learning how to give love and patience to every little (or big!) furry buddy. Whether it’s wagging tails or purring laps, I’m all about making your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Treating them like my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and maybe a treat or two—because they deserve it! I’m currently working part time so I have more time to be able to care for your fur babies. Plus they help get my daily exercise! ❤️😁 My services for boarding will be taken place at my home. I do not have a huge backyard but I live near a park where I can let the dogs walk around and have a grand time. I do not have any dogs in my home so your pup will get my undivided attention.

About: I have had many years of housesitting experience with came with caring for pets. I have also worked at a pet store and handled bathing dogs. I am free weekdays and weekends and am open to staying at a home for multiple days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be attending class 9:40 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. I have a friendly dog, a kitten and two outdoor cats as well as a fenced yard with tons of dog toys, treats and a small kennel. I make sure any hazardous things such as cleaning products and other harmful substances are out of the pet’s way and give frequent potty breaks. I take into account their feeding schedule and any medicine they may need.

About: Hello! I am 25 years old and I am a huge animal lover and would love to get to know your pets. I am based in Tuolumne near Sonora, CA. I’m extremely active in my day to day so daily exercise will be a guarantee. If allowed, I would love to take your pet on local walks or runs. I’ve had experiences with animals almost my whole life and I have a dog of my own. My dog, Riley, is a 7 year old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He goes to Grandma’s when I am housesitting! I grew up taking care of animals and riding horses. I’ve watched hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, goats, sheep, and horses for friends while they were away. There’s no animal I wouldn’t love! I work part-time so I’m very flexible and can be available for multiple check ins throughout the day. I will make sure your pet gets lots of love just like my own pupper <3 I am very flexible for whatever schedule your pets need and have a very active lifestyle. I would spend as much time as possible with your pet as I am used to having my pup by my side all the time. I treat your pet as if they were my own with lots of love and attention. I would care for your pet exactly as you would like. I’m very responsible and clean.

About: I have owned dogs, horses, chickens and pigs my entire life. Prior to having my twins, I worked at a vet office for three years as a receptionist and vet assistant. While working at the vet office, I pet sat for clients dogs and cats when they went out of town. I also worked at a pet boarding facility before the vet, but at both places I cared for all the animals as if they were my own. I am currently working part-time night shift, I am a mom to my twin daughters that are three years old and my son who is seven months old. My husband is a mobile mechanic and makes his own schedule so if there is a prior commitment that I have my husband can be around for the short time that I am out. I treat every animal and home I pet sit at as if they're my own! I love sharing pictures with the clients to ensure they can feel at ease that they’re pet is being well cared for.

“Shawna was great and handled our exuberant giant dog like a pro. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I've got 23 years of veterinary technician experience as well as petsitting experience. I also worked for an organization that rescues Cocker Spaniels for 3 years. I was the manager and I took care of 25 dogs at a time as well as 2 horses, 2 goats, 2 pigs, 4 roosters, and a feral cat colony. I fed all the animals, cleaned their living quarters, picked up the yards, bathed as well as shave them if needed, nail trims, sanitary clips, administered medications of all types, did basic training with them, went to vet appointments if needed, laundry, and walked them. Being in the veterinary field has been a blessing for many clients whom have hired me to care for their furry babies because I am more attune at things many people may not notice. Clients are very grateful for that knowledge. I also water plants and clean houses and bring in mail for overnight stays. I am currently a stay at home mom with lots of time to spare. I've always juggled pet care and my family with no issues. I follow the instructions the client gives me no matter what. If they want the dog to wear a harness while.out for walks, then that's what I will do. If they don't want the dog left unattended outside even though they have a fenced in yard, then I'll stay out with them for as long as needed. I always do a parameter check to make sure there are no holes in the ground for the dog to have access to escape.

“Kian did a great job especially on a very hot day.”
