About: Ive grown up loving animals. Especially taking them on fun adventures like hiking or walking to new areas. The hardest part about being a young adult is not being able to have a dog due to finances which is why I am always taking care of others animals any chance I get. They would get the most attention, love and care while I am taking care of them:) I have a flexible schedule with work and am a major home body unless I’m going on dog friendly adventures. I like spending my free time being active outside or relaxing on the couch. I grew up with dogs and am always attentive towards them. I make sure there is always water and listen to them if they are hungry, playful, or need to use the restroom. I always make sure they have the best care and keep them happy.
“Jess did an amazing job !! She literally took care of my pups as her very own, she helped last minute noticed and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Can’t be more than happy to have reached out to her for help, she took both my dogs on a great walk and filled their bowl in the end and did such a fenomenal job. Can’t express how happy i was that i got Jess to help me with my pups !!”
“Aivy is always so good with my baby . She has a very calm and relaxing demeanor which helps Athena. I love all the pictures and updates I get while she is there. I highly recommend Aivy!”
“Melanie is remarkable - just jumped right in to help me and love my puppies. There when i need her and always kind hearted and helpful and loving to the dogs - so reassuring and makes me smile!”
About: I have four pets of my own! Mikey, my 9 year old Pitbull who recently went blind, Bella my 10 year old Husky, Teddy my Shih Tzu who is 3 and keeps the other pups young, and Leo my 11 year old easygoing tortoise :) I’m very comfortable with a wide range of needs, temperaments, and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and cared for and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently available full time while I'm on the job hunt so I am flexible to you and your pets needs, feel free to reach out and let me know what you need! Since I have a full house, I am unable to care for other pets in my own home, but when I am in yours I am very mindful of sticking to what you and your pets are comfortable with and what is in their routine!
“I live on the opposite side of town, but when I'm travelling, I deliberately drive all the way over here because I want to leave my dog in Chloe's care. She's super reliable, does everything I need done for the dog, and my dog loves her. I have a lot of anxieties about leaving my dog with other people because she can be difficult, but I feel absolutely at ease whenever Chloe is taking care of her.”
“Sydney is absolutely the best dog walker! I could trust her as she genuinely loves puppies❤️ I would love to help me out again if I need to work for a long time at work. Your dog will be in good hands with Sydney👌🏻”
“Taylor has been a great walker for our mini Aussie! She has gone above and beyond in the heat to make sure that Rosie gets a walk but doesn’t overheat, and makes up the time by playing with her. She takes great photos, is an overall delight, and was also very patient learning our janky front door. We’re so glad we found her!”
“Sarah is truly great! Upon meeting her, the dog instantly took a liking to her (and the cat did not take off under the bed). She quickly jumped in and has been a blessing as she comes in and gives the dog a potty break and a chance to stretch her legs/burn off some energy. My puppy is a giant breed so her playful mess can be "a lot." Her photos of their walk and the time she takes to love on the cat are a bright spot in my work day. And best of all, I don't worry about my girls while I'm away.”
“Amanda is amazing and genuinely loves spending time with my pets. Knowing that she is taking care of my fur babies gives me so much peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I booked a last minute walk with Dani because I got sick and am not well enough to take my pup on a walk. Dani was very understanding and helpful and even sent pics from the walk. Yuna came back panty and looking happy. Thank you, Dani!”
About: Everyone I meet that has a dog or cat is always very surprised at how quickly the animal seems to feel comfortable around me. I have had a dog for most of my life. I have adopted a golden retriever, a mixed dog (we think a mix of German Shepard and a lab and a mini Australian shepherd. I have also dog sat for two very large (80-90 lbs) golden retrievers and a cat multiple times. I just moved to the area around a year I have plans to get a dog within a year. I work full-time during the week but now because of covid I work from home! It’s not a problem at all for me to host a dog at my house or come over to yours to take care of them! I currently work from home so I am able to spend 24/7 with your dog!! I am very much looking forward to meeting your fur-buddy! I have a fenced yard and very relaxed dog rules. Dogs can go on my couches or beds whenever they want. I don’t typically crate dogs and prefer to not crate them but if you want me to I definitely can!
About: I have a one year-old dog who is completely service trained. I am completely equipped to handle puppies and senior dogs with medication’s or any special needs. I’m also familiar with aggressive dog breeds. I work from home three days a week, with a lot of flexibility I’m sure to take dogs out minimum 4-5 times a day I prefer every two hours or more frequently if needed. I do feeding on a super stricter schedule. I like to keep all of my animals on a good routine and a lot for playtime as well as downtime for resting. I have a large fencing yard for the dogs and a decked out cat room for cat stays.

Khaleynie M.
“I am happy to recommend Khaleynie to join Rover. She is reliable, kind, and great with animals. I personally have a reactive dog that struggles meeting new people and Khaleynie was able to gain their trust within a couple of hours which is really unheard of for my Mocha. I have also seen how caring and attentive she is with her own pets and I know she cares for other pets as if they were her own. As a pet parent myself, I would put my trust in her to watch my fur baby anytime and I am confident that she would be a great addition to the Rover community.”

Athena A.
“Athena has watched my puppy on several occasions over the last nine months both short-term and extended over a week. She is very caring and very knowledgeable about dog and cat care. I have called her for advice on how to care for my dog when he is sick and what is the proper type of food and treatment necessary for his development. She has cared for several dogs, cats, and other animals for years and I have seen how well she handles them and how gentle she cares for them. She has also cared for my rabbit for many years, doing the grooming when needed and helping set up a proper environment to stimulate her needs. I highly recommend her for pet care and trust her completely with my pet care needs.”
Lauren C.
“So thankful that Lauren was able to help me with Kobe on short notice! She was accommodating and took some adorable pictures!”
