About: Having a pet of my own with diabetes set me on a path to learn more and start a career toward helping animals that may need more care than others. I am a helper by trade and love spending time with pets so I hope I can apply my years of dedication and adoration for animals by helping take care of yours when you need assistance. I work as a general handyman and take classes toward veterinary technician and looking to help others with my spare time. Walking dogs is a passion of mine and, depending on the owner's request, can keep it local or take them to a desired park or hiking path. I walk daily on my own so a few extra paws would be good for me and the pooch! My cats are indoor/outdoor so they roam but stay close to the property. I do not leave them out alone. Inside we play a bit until they get bored, listen to music, and of course they nap...mostly they nap... When I have had dogs in the past, they get outside time to enjoy the sunshine and breeze and we're never left out in bad weather conditions. They've always had a safe and comfortable place inside the home.
“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve helped raise and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from a gentle Rottweiler named Clyde to a full litter of 13 pit bull puppies (we kept one and named him Blue!). I’ve also helped with training basics and walked dogs like Bernie the mutt, Sammie the Beagle, and Cooper, my dad’s current pup. I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to do morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet's routine. I also drive for Uber/Lyft, which gives me flexibility to prioritize pet care during the day. When visiting your home, I follow your specific care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, calm, and dependable, and I make sure pets get the attention, movement, and love they need while you're away. I’m also comfortable crating, administering basic meds, and managing multiple pets.
“Kayla was great to work with! From the moment we met, I knew she would be a wonderful fit to help care for my chocolate lab. Will definitely want to work with her again!”
“Always great! Dogs live him. Responds quickly!!”
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
“Thank you Natasha.”
“Lilly cared for Buca in every way I asked. She made sure I had photos of Buca walking and eating her dinner which I appreciate. I appreciate her attention and care.”
About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.
“I felt very comfortable leaving Smudge in their care. You could tell they bonded with her and provided excellent care while we were away. I would not hesitate to rebook. Thank you so much!!!”
“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I recently bit the bullet and quit my job because I wanted to go independent, doing something I love and enjoy, and spending time, loving and caring for my pets ( 1 Dog, 2 cats and wild birds. ) and helping others is what I do best. Being away from home for 10 hours a day, working, made me so sad being away from my pets thar long. So with the recommendation of a friend, I decided to come to Rover to offer my help, love and care to you and yours, and spend more time with mine. I have experience with many different animals, all different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors etc. I am not afraid of any breed and the bigger the better, but all sizes are welcome. As I mentioned, I quit my job to make loving and caring for your pets and mine, top priority. Therefore, I will be available more than 40 hours a week. Third shift included for parents that work overnight. I have no kids, so my pets are treated as so. We have a fenced in yard, plenty of beds and blankets, all over the house, that gets washed every other week. We have snacks upon snacks, and baskets full of toys. We love to all spend time together at night, snuggled up. We love to love one another, and get through everything together as a team ♥️

Jacob B.
“I have had the joy of sharing my life with my Fiance' Jacob for nearly seven years, and throughout this time, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible love and care he shows for our cats, Jax (9 years old) and Ruthie (8 years old). Jacob is truly one of the most caring and attentive people I know, especially when it comes to animals. From the very beginning, Jacob has gone above and beyond to ensure our cats feel safe, loved, and cherished every single day. Ruthie, who was very shy when we first started dating, has blossomed into a confident and affectionate cat, forming a special bond with Jacob that is heartwarming to see. Jax has always trusted and adored Jacob, frequently seeking his lap or feet for comfort and companionship, especially at night. Jacob has a unique ability to connect with animals on their level, whether it’s playing with their toys, rolling around on the carpet, or simply spending quiet moments together. He treats our cats like family, with the same love and attention he would give to children, but with a gentle understanding of their unique needs as pets. His selflessness and dedication to their well-being are truly inspiring. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our family by adopting a dog once we have more space in our home and yard. Jacob’s experience growing up with Rottweilers and Pitbulls has given him excellent knowledge and understanding of these breeds, further highlighting his capability as a responsible and skilled pet caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob for any pet care role. His compassion, experience, and genuine love for animals make him an exceptional candidate who will provide outstanding care and affection to every pet he looks after.”

Rebecca R.
“Rebecca is the Ultimate pet sitter. We have asked Rebecca to care for our elderly dog for both short and long stays. She is knowledgeable about dog needs and willing to go above and beyond for special need animals. She is not only a true professional but loving and caring to our sweet boy. We would not trust anyone else to take care of our dog and in fact we plan our vacations around her availability. We could not recommend Rebecca any higher. Your pet will be in loving hands with her.”

Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”
