About: 1 year of professional dog and cat daycare and boarding experience. 2 years of dog and cat fostering including disabled kittens. Current loving home of 2 cats and a dog. I'm currently living at home after high-school and am unemployed. I used to work at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility, but decided I wanted to make my own schedule. I'm not very social besides with animals so my schedule is open and flexible. I own 2 cats and a dog so I'm unable to board or pet sit at my own house, but I can travel to your house and look after your furry friend in an environment I'm sure they're more comfortable in anyway.

“Our corgi Millie loves when Molly comes to let her out! I always know Millie will be well taken care or. Molly is extremely accommodating to schedule changes and when we were out of town and was locked out of the house was willing to still come back and let Millie out!”

“Kassy is wonderful and was such a great help with my dog who was having an upset stomach on Kassy’s first day with her! I am so pleased with her, the cute photos she takes, and reports I receive after each visit. She is great!!”

About: I have been working as a pet sitter on and off for many years. My last job I worked at was a Kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic. I had experience walking, bathing dogs and giving medication both orally and injections. I have done for both cats and dogs. I do have refrences to my past experience. I also am an avid animal lover. I love dogs and all kinds of pets. I have experience even with taking care of rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs, birds, fish and turtles. I love to take dogs on long walks and play with them. This is my ideal job. I just love love love animals. I also have owned many of the pets i have experience with. I just hope i can give your animals the best care. I have to get my step daughter up for school in the mornings but usually after that I am free all day until 3. I can fit you in the afternoon I just need advance notice. I am diligent in checking to see escape routes and have had experience with escape artists. I also am good at making sure animals don't have access to things they are not supposed to. I also can crate dogs if needed.

“Ash took great care of my dog! I especially appreciated Ash’s excellent communication and responsiveness. I would recommend and rebook!”

About: I grew up always having cats and being a total cat lady, however after bringing home my first dog ever I realized how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! I have experience with having a dog of my own (sadly he went on to the rainbow bridge), plus caring for my sisters dog who I jokingly say is my part time dog. I also have experience with all the dogs I’ve gotten to meet through Rover. I would love to have a dog of my own again but I don’t have the proper time or space to have one right now, so I’m looking to get my fix by spending time with your dog! I’m currently available any time of day or night during the week and weekends! Im very attentive to your pets needs and making sure they are comfortable this includes lots of outdoor time with nice walks, and giving them lots of love and attention(not to mention treats!). :) I’m currently taking a little work hiatus so I am available anytime of day or night during the week and weekends to help care for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with 2 cats so any pets that stay with me need to be familiar and friendly with cats. I do have a spare bedroom that I can use for separation purposes however prefer to be familiar and good around cats if I will be watching in my home. If house sitting I will be available to stay in your home and will send lots of pictures and updates along the way.

“Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.”

About: We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had my own dog for 4 years. I love being around dogs and want to show yours as much love as I show my own. I work from home 2-3 days a week. I’m also available for overnight boarding depending on the night and weekends. Just ask if I’m available! I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog is welcome on beds and furniture. My house and property is very dog friendly for all types.

About: I grew up with dogs of many different breeds, which helped me learn how to read their personalities and needs. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of walks, exercise, and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated from PA school and will be starting my career in medicine at the end of April. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend my days loving, walking, and caring for your pets, giving them plenty of attention and playtime while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every interaction. Whether in your home or mine, I ensure pets are secure, supervised, and comfortable at all times. I follow your routines and any special instructions, provide plenty of attention and mental stimulation, and create a calm, stress-free environment so your pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’ll also send daily texts with photos of your fur baby so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’d love to give your pet love, attention, walks, and treats! I am responsible, reliable, and tend to like all animals over most humans. 😀 My schedule is completely open and flexible! Your pet will be my main focus and priority. I’d love to get the opportunity to meet and care for your fur babies. I know how important it is to listen to the animals needs and dietary restrictions. I love playing with dogs in a fenced in yard, long walks with lots of sniffs, and cuddling/loving pets.

About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time.between that and being a mom giving love and care comes easy. I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and love a bit of play time. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.

“Kal was amazing. Their warmth for animals is wildly understated. They knew all the things to do to get my boy to be more cooperative and sweet. Kal was reliable and intuitive - both incredibly important when working with temperamental little pups. Kal will be my first choice on Rover next time.”

“Katie took very good care of Winston on his walk and sent a lot of pictures. She went above and beyond to meet him ahead of time and learn the specifics about him. Thanks Katie :)”

“She was soo helpful and is so diligent!! Today I was so stuck and I totally wrote my whole calendar day down wrong. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate. I won’t do that often but I’m so grateful”

“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

“I was able to book Troy on short notice, which was very helpful. He was prompt, friendly, and my dog was instantly comfortable with him. I’d definitely recommend Troy and plan to book him again in the future!”

About: I love dogs and have had dogs my whole life! I know it’s difficult to find a caring home for your pet to stay in while you are out of town. I have a large home with a nice yard. Your dogs will be well-taken care of. I have a 6 year old and 4 year old who love to help, so family-friendly pets are preferred. I am a 6th grade science teacher, so I’m off weekends and get off work at a decent time during the week. We do have a small senior dog that keeps to herself. We also have two 8 month old English Setters who are well behaved and friendly. I’m excited to get to know you and your pets! I am available by text all day and night, so you can reach me with questions throughout your trip. I also send updates daily with pictures!
