3. Jennifer C.
“Wow! I'm so happy Gunner was in Jennifer's care. I'm very new to Rover and our pup has only ever been in the care of family. We unexpectedly had to be out of town for the day so I scoured the Rover reviews and reached out to Jennifer the day before. She replied right away & accepted the job. She communicated her arrival at our home, how Gunner did on his walks, his eating, drinking, and behavior with a new person. I'm so happy I chose her & she accepted. I will call on her again for sure & highly recommend.”
4. Emily R.
“Our pets have been an integral part of Emily's life since she was born. We were a foster family for G.R.I.N rescue. Emily made the dogs feel welcome in our home, helped care for them & was sad to see them leave when they were adopted. Emily is a mom to a 1yr old Golden Retriever. From the beginning, she did a lot of reading in order to learn the best ways to care for her puppy, providing a healthy diet, training, exercise/playtime & social interaction. Emily is friendly, outgoing, nurturing & responsible, qualities that will make her a great pet sitter/dog walker.”

16. Kai W.
About: I have been around all different types of animals in all different shapes and sizes since childhood. Cats and dogs especially have been bright lights to me. I have supported them in their old age and illness with administering medicine and keeping them clean to heavily monitoring rambunctious, wild puppies and kittens. I love taking dogs (and cats) on walks. It's amazing seeing them in nature. My life fits around pet care! I am a freelancer and so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can structure, tear down, and re-structure my schedule around tasks. Cleanliness and awareness are really important to me. When things are clean, they're not eating things they should not be. When I am aware of my surroundings, the pet's health and needs, objects in the environment, myself, I know I am best equipped to take care of anything that may happen. I follow the guidelines and advice for caring for your pet and your home.
17. Donald R.
“Donald was incredible!! I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone! He was helpful and accommodating. I appreciated the photos he posted after each walk which helped ease my anxiety of keeping my new dog at home alone while at work.”
18. Kiara W.
“Kiara did a wonderful job with our dog Skye. Skye is shy with strangers but Kiara informed us that Skye warmed up to her fast. Kiara kept us informed about the walks with pictures. We will definitely contact Kiara to take of Skye the next time we travel. Thank you”
19. Carolyn B.

20. Alexandria V.
“Alex is my go to! She has taken care of my 70lb pitbull, my 12lb dachshund, and my two indoor cats. She has taken care of them at my home and at hers for trips as short as one overnight or as long as 1-2 weeks. She has always treated my pets as if they were her own and for that I’ll continue to hire her for all my pet care needs.”
