About: I've always had and loved animals of all kinds. I am a veterinary technician and have been in the animal medical field for almost 10 years now. I currently work at a cat only clinic and I love kitties! I'm willing to care for animals other than cats and dogs. I'm capable and comfortable with administering medications. Let me know how I can help you and your fur babies! I work full time Mon-Thurs. I can check in on animals earlier in the morning and later in the afternoons those days but I am primarily available Fri-Sun. I am happy to clean litter boxes or clean up after dogs. I can medicate and feed wet or dry foods. Really I'm amenable to most things, just ask!

“Awesome caregiver”

About: Like many animal lovers, I raised cats and dogs the majority of my life. Even raised 9 pups from my own dog! I’d like to help take care of your pets with you. My previous work had me travel for 3 years so I understand how challenging it can be to have someone watch your pets. You wonder if they’ll be as nice, gentle, caring, and active as you are with them. (Or if your pet will pick them over you for being away so long!) I will be as, if not more, attentive to your pets while you are away. Like the title says - I’m a realtor! My schedule is open and most of my work can be done through my phone or laptop. I do go to the gym and can adjust my schedule to be morning or evening depending on your needs. Early start for my dogs! 5am walks to start their day along with clean bowls before every feeding! I use a filtered water system for them, but that’s also cleaned weekly. If your pets are like mine then all that hair is a bit messy. So, brushing is a must! They do like to get on the couch so vacuuming is a must too! No kennel for them. Just their own cots. As for bathing and grooming - as needed.

“Thank you.”

About: I was always the one growing up that took on the caretaker role when it comes to animals. Making sure all animals are fed and have clean water and bowls. My favorite part of caring for pets is walks and playing with them. When my dog had babies I was there the entire time making sure mama was doing well, giving attention and making sure i could give support when needed. I grew up with multiple dogs at once and I understand it takes time and effort to care for them. I am available after 2pm monday through Fridays and on weekends I am free all day. I am looking for some companionship with cute dogs as I don't own a dog currently. I actually had an ankle injury in the beginning of this year and I am recovering well, just need extra cash to pay for some medical bills. I would love to spend my other free time spending it with your fur babies. I am new to rover app. Gaining your animals trust is very important to me. I will always be watching your animal when taken outside even if your yard is gated.

“We didn’t get as many communications/pictures/check ins as we usually get but our cats were happy and healthy when we got home.”

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I LOVE dogs!! The more the better. :) I have a corgi named piggy and a miniature schnauzer mix named ducky at home. I live in a house in Meridian with a huge yard and a doggie door. The dogs are free to come in and out at will for potty and play! My dogs are very sweet and love to play with other dogs. I have a lot of experience on wag and Rover as a sitter and dog walker and pet border. I take my dogs all the time to the Meridian bark park Dog Park and that is an option for your dog as well if they get along well with others. Can’t wait to watch your fur baby! I work from home sometimes! My schedule is flexible. I can usually work with my client’s time schedule just fine. Just let me know what you need. I have cared for many pets and have many great reviews on Rover. You can trust that I care for any Rover pet as I would my own babies.

“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Kimberly did an excellent job! I hired her to do four 30-minute drop-in visits at my home over 1 1/2 days while I was out of town. I have two dogs. Through the Rover app, I received texts from her of when she arrived, when she left, and photos and comments of her visits. She played ball fetch with them and kept them very happy. I definitely will recommend Kimberly to my family, friends and neighbors.”

“My puppy was happy and healthy upon my return. Couldn’t ask for more!”

“A great experience having Dusti come and check up on my pet! I enjoyed the pictures during the check in for me enjoy while at work!”

About: With years of experience in grooming, daycare, and pet sitting, I specialize in senior care, rescue dogs, and puppies. I’m confident with all temperaments, trained in medication administration, and known for providing calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I structure my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for. Whether it’s early morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening cuddles, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and attention for every pet I look after. In your home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I keep things clean, stick to their comfort zones, and give lots of affection and attention so they feel secure and cared for.

“I am so glad that we found Holly to take care of our 2 dogs! We had to find a pet sitter with only 4 hours notice to do a meet and greet. Holly texted us back right away! She was so nice and kind during the meet and greet. and we booked her. She had the greatest communication with us during her 2 pet visits and sent us photos and videos while we were gone! She fed the dogs and talked to them like they were her own. We will be using her exclusively from now on! You can count on Holly to take care of your pets. I trust her completely! 10 stars out of 5 !!!”

“Christian took excellent care of my two cats. He provided thoughtful updates, and made me feel at ease in leaving my family members in his care.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting (specifically cats/dogs) for as long as I can remember. Friends, family and even extensions of the two have relied on me to feed, walk, and occasionally do overnight stays with their pets. I have 8 years of experience with animals who require a daily medication as well as roughly 2 years experience working with blind dogs. I also have 8 years of house sitting experience; this has included overnight stays as well as random check ups on the house to water plants, bring in the mail, etc. I work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm so I’m very capable to utilize my lunch breaks to check on animals and am available in the evenings for anything a pet may need. I can also accommodate for overnight stays (not in my home as I have two cats of my own). I ask for descriptive instructions for what your pet’s specific needs are as well as what their day to day life would look like if I wasn’t watching them so I can keep things as normal as possible.

About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals. They have always been apart of my life. I had 10 dogs at once for about 4 years. I am very patient and understanding. Good with any puke, poop and pee, it doesn’t bother me. Love dogs and will do any special things that need done. I am currently an Eastern Student and have class from 9-12 and work part time at safeway from about 1-7 as of right now. I am planning on doing online class starting in January and planning on working like 8am-2pm at Safeway starting in December. So I will be more flexible in the coming months. Can do early morning and late nights if needed I will keep things clean and tidy while in others home. Will take dog on leash if not fenced in. Will make sure dog has food and water if they aren’t schedule fed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets (cats and dogs) my whole life and most of the dogs I’ve trained. I know how to properly take care of animals, like giving medicine, cleaning, feeding, and etc. I have plenty of time to take care and play with your dogs or cats, my free time I am always either going to the lake with my dog or doing my college work. Personally at my home I let the dogs just do whatever around the house. I run there energy off in the backyard or at a park. I feed them once a day at dinner time and let them have bones and toys in the day time but take them away at night.

About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.
