About: I love all animals. Ive worked in a vet clinic, a PetSmart and an animal shelter. Animals are not seen in pets in my eyes but part of your family. They are very therapeutic and comforting. I'm okay with any breed of dog, mutt or pure bred. I have had multiple breeds of dogs and currently have a hound, cane Corso, and three cats! Working at different locations I have set with any (stubborn) breeds. It brings me joy taking care of animals. They have no voice so we have to be their voice. They give us unconditional love and support so we must return that favor. If you have any questions please feel free to get ahold of me. I'm flexible with hours.

About: I will do everything to make sure your furry friend is not stressed and loving life while you are gone as well. I have always been a big animal lover. I know boarding are very sketch and it's hard to find someone you trust with your family member which is why I promise to give me 100% while you are away I work from home for my full time job which means I can spend all day with your pet. I work a couple hours on the weekend but other than that my flexible is 100% any instructions you give me for your dog I will follow. I only want the best for the furry family :) I know leaving your pet can be stressful which is why I make sure to send you a ton of updates/pictures while you are away if wanted!

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

“First time user and was very skeptical to have a stranger come into my home and care for my doggies. I am so happy and very pleased that I found Jennifer. She is very kind and my puppy who is normally barking and fearful of strangers warned up and kissed and played with her. Will be using her again and always. Dogs look happy and safe. She even snapped and sent some of the very cutest close up photos of our fur babies during her check-ins.”

“Catelyn is truly wonderful with our dogs :) They are always so excited to see her, which is SUPER special since they are both rescues. She always leaves the house better than she found it and is extremely communicative. I know they are in good hands with her. Could not recommend more!”

“My 2 dogs loved Abigail immediately; her calm and grounded energy was great for both the fur babies and this nervous mama. It was my first time using Rover and Abigail made it a smooth and easy experience. Her friendly yet professional demeanor was appreciated.”

About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve known I was meant to work with animals. It’s more than a passion—it’s my purpose. Pets have always brought me peace, joy, and fulfillment, whether they were mine or someone else’s. Over the years, I’ve raised everything from Great Danes to Pit-Husky mixes. I currently care for my special-needs English Mastiff, Kayser, and have supported senior and rescue dogs—each requiring patience, trust, and personalized care. Motivated by my commitment to animal well-being, I returned to school to pursue my dog training certification. I also hold certifications in animal welfare, pet CPR, and first aid. My approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and a strong belief in creating an informed, compassionate pet guardian community. My mission is to be a bridge between animals and their guardians—prioritizing not just obedience, but behavioral health, emotional enrichment, and the deeper bond that comes from truly understanding and nurturing the whole animal. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine, so I’ve learned to build my schedule around it. I’m usually up early to handle morning feedings, walks, and check-ins, which leaves me available mid-morning through early afternoon for appointments, training sessions, or visits. I also keep some flexibility in the evenings and weekends for clients who need extra support or who have specific routines for their pets. Because animals are part of my daily life, fitting in care—whether mine or someone else’s—comes naturally. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I’d want in my own. I stick closely to the routines the pet is familiar with—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime—because consistency helps them feel secure. I take my time to build trust with each animal, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy, so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. My goal is always to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while giving families peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands.

“Alana was fantastic - communicated well, was thorough, and took good care of our cat Eska. Would definitely hire again.”

About: Hey friends! I graduated with an AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019 from Muscatine, Iowa. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2020 and I absolutely love it. I have a large passion for animal care and know that they deserve as much love as people do. My family and friends have always had animals as well, so I’ve helped with them here and there. I’ve done quite a few jobs on here and it’s always been a great experience! I am CPR trained for both cats and dogs and know how to give various medications in various ways. I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!! As previously mentioned, I quit working as a Vet Tech in 2023 do to hardships with my Cystic Fibrosis. I still do Rover jobs, so feel free to ask me if you need me! I had a baby earlier this year in April, so my schedule will depend on him and that of my hubbys! Other than that, just let me know and ask me! I don’t watch animals at my home due to our dog, Chief, being dog aggressive but I’m always happy to come to your home and visit your pets! I’m happy to follow a schedule or do whatever you need while at your home!

About: I always take care of my sisters dogs as well as friends dogs and I love it, it’s so much fun! I’m really good with animals. I have a cat of my own so I take care of her everyday but I go to school but have online classes so I have plenty of time to watch your pet. Dogs like more attention than cats so with my cat I give her space but with dogs give them more attention! I always am tentative to what varies to each animal

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Gaby and I’m the most genuine animal lover ever. All my life, I have always had pups in my home or worked professionally with them which is why I joined Rover so I could work and do what I love at the same time. I do Rover full time so I’m able to give your babies all the attention in the world they deserve. I've worked at Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone which are daycare/boarding businesses and I absolutely loved it. I was taught how to kennel them properly, administer meds, and how to deal with all types of animal behavior big and small. With this being said, you can always trust your fur babies in my presence. He or she will always be the number one priority and be treated as if they were my own. Lastly, my goal is to build a relationship and longevity with the pup/owner so I can be the first person you think of when looking for a sitter. I’m extremely excited to have the pleasure of being apart of Rover and hope to take care of your precious doggies soon! Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

“Great to work with!”
