“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
“Gabrielle has been a blessing to our new family member, Lupin, and to us, since she has been providing a daily mid-day walk and something for Lupin to look forward to now that we are all back to work. 🐾🐾”
“Autumn did a great job taking care of my boy. She provided a walk once a day for at least an 1/2 hour. Provided pictures each day. Will be booking with Autumn again.”
“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”
“Kevin was outstanding! Ziggy is a big boy and can be a bit of a handful on leash at times, but Kevin handled him easily. You can tell how much Kevin loves dogs and he treated my boy like he was his own. Kevin was always punctual and asked thoughtful questions about behaviors, other dogs in the neighborhood, routes to walk,etc. His experience and compassion and care for animals was evident the first time I met him. I really can't recommend Kevin enough and I (and Ziggy) look forward to utilizing his services again. A++”
About: Hi there! I’m Heather, and I’m a cat lady. My cats have allowed me to join this app. They are used to me coming home smelling like other animals. GASP! I used to be extremely anxious when I would have to leave my cats overnight, when I traveled for work or was going on vacation. Then a few people recommended the Rover app to me, and I found an amazing cat sitter. I still miss my feline overlords when I am away now, but I don’t worry as much about how they are doing or what they are getting in to. I want to do the same for you. Go on your trip knowing that your best fur friends are in good hands! I have always had cats in my life, and I can’t imagine how dull my life would be without them. I am always looking to make new fur friends, so I would love to meet your pets. I currently have 3 cats of my own, but occasionally have more. They just seem to find me, and I never turn away an animal in need. I have also done some pet rescue work and help to maintain two feral cat colonies near my home. Have cats with medical needs? No problem! I am a registered nurse (for humans), and adopt cats who have been abandoned or surrendered because of medical issues. I believe every soul deserves love and to feel safe, despite what their medical issues might be. I have had cats with diabetes who needed insulin, kidney disease and needed sub-q IV fluids, kitty dementia, deafness, IBD, mega colon, FIV, hemophilia, and the worst of all…major catitude! I am comfortable giving medications, insulin, and whatever else your furry friend might need. I am also not afraid of “mean” kitties or “hissy” kitties. I just meet them where they are, and do my best to convince them that I just want to be friends. I am also comfortable administering medications/treatments to dogs, I just have more experience with cats. I work nightshift and have a different schedule every week, but I would (and have) go without sleep to make sure all the kitties in my care get what they need and have fun while their parents are away. I do have my own car and of course would take your cat to their veterinarian if the need ever arises.
About: I have had all kinds of animals since I was ten. I have had hedgehogs, ferrets, dogs, cats, turtles and fish. I took classes to get my Rottweiler certified as a therapy dog. I am at a dog park 4-5 days a week and am in constant contact with dogs. I fostered a cat for a friend for 8 months. I have watched dogs during the day and overnight for friends and family. I want the pet owners I work with to feel confident with me working with their pet and in their home. I am not working right now so I have a very flexible schedule. I plan ahead for anytime needed off or vacation. I have no problem doing quick visits or a few overnights. I need to make sure I know all of the details about your pet/pets. I am very organized as far as medications, feedings or bathroom issues. I am willing to do anything depending on what the pet owner requests.
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: I recently had to say goodbye to my own dog, who was my daily walking buddy and constant sidekick. Getting back to dog care is a way for me to stay connected to that part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and know how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, basic training reinforcement, or just giving your dog the attention they need while you’re out. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or some extra company for your pup while you’re gone, I’ve got it covered. I’m currently working part time from home as a consultant. So my schedule is very flexible. I can be available throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pup to roam. I have a reliable car and am available to bring dogs to my house if needed.
About: Back in 2010 I began working at petsmart in their petshotel. It was my dream job and I loved every minute of it. I cared for the pets during the day. Fed and bathed them. I have two dogs of my own as well as two michevious cats. I currently work at a daycare during the week so I will have the weekends available. Anytime during the day is good. Just send me a message. I live in a apartment so I cannot care for you pet here but I can come to your home. Make sure you pup has lots of fun and cuddles
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I have walked them since I could remember! I have also pet sat for neighbors before! I’m pretty flexible and very reliable! I can also accommodate to your schedule and ensure proper care! My schedule is pretty open and I can work around things to make caring for your pet work! I will make sure to follow all procedures to ensure your pet is taken care of. Your pet will be in good hands with me!
