“Kimberly is very patient with my new very anxious Siberian kitten. For the first time today after Kimberly, coming in for several days during the holidays just for check-in’s, Liliya actually came out from hiding and sniffed Kimberly’s hand. I can be a less anxious, kitty parent, knowing that Kimberly is around to help.”
“Bailey came and did a meet and greet with my pups. They took to her immediately as they can tell she truly loves animals. She took notes for our coming visit and implemented her tasks wonderfully. I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”
“It was my first time using Rover for a last minute booking while traveling. Simone was great! Thank you so much for easing my mind while enjoying my time away!”
About: My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.
“Matija was great and so quick with communication! Would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of cats, dogs and small pets for about 5 years. I have also volunteered at pet shelters in the past. I’m a freelancer and I try to take my pup to the dog park at 11am so after that is best but I can work with pretty much anything! I have a little dog at home who’s very playful so I can handle energetic dogs. I can also tone down and be cautious with less energetic dogs since I have a low energy cat.
“Great communication, on time and a happy dog! Thank you very much!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and volunteered for years at The Cache Valley Humane Society. I house sit all my friends dogs when they travel and I am a former Disney cast member with high regards and references! I have a bachelors degree in Jounalism and work for a television station where my highlight are the pet of the week segments! I am good with dogs, cats and other. My favorite date nights with my husband include trips to “Kitty city” or “The Wait Is Over Rover” I have owned a Yorkie and a German wirehair and love dogs of all sizes! I can work on their commands with them and take them on walks or runs. I currently have two Russian Blue rescue cats that are my world. I can’t wait to meet your pet! Thanks I work but have a semi flexible environment and usually split it with my spouse who can take the times I cannot so they get double love and attention I prefer to come to your home to keep them in their comfortable environment and routines as much as possible. Can take some for short periods if needed depending on temperament with my 2 kitties
About: I will care for your animals as if they are my own. I have had dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs Benson White Pit 5 years old and Abby Chocolate Pit/Lab 5 months. They both mean the world to me. I worked at a shelter for two years as an adoption counselor. I have been in Bradenton about 7 years and I love this small town. I love to go the beach, and anything out doors. It's one of the reasons I moved here. Hope to here from you soon. Have an amazing day. I do pet care part time in the evenings and on the weekends. I love being around animals and like to provide love and care. I provide care for family's that have busy schedules. I do it in their homes not my own. I provide walking and over night stay's.
“Heather was fantastic! You can tell she truly cares for your pets and goes above and beyond to provide them with the best care. My picky chihuahua loves her and we are so relieved to have found someone we can trust. As a Rover sitter myself, my standards are high, and Heather’s care provided us with the ultimate peace of mind. Thank you again!”
“Nadia was very attentive to Theo and loved on him lots during the time period of dog sitting! She was very communicative and quickly responded when messaged about Theo! I will definitely recommend her to anyone in the area and will use again!”
About: And small ones. And cats. Basically all animals! Hello, my name is Jamie and I am an avid animal lover! I had two cats, both I had since they were less than a year old and they lived to be 20 and 22 years old. I know right?! I now have two large dogs who love to go on walks and car rides and they both have very different personalities. I will lovingly take care of your family member as if they are my own and provide updates while in my care. I understand not all animals react the same and I am noticeable of atypical reactions from dogs: cowering, tail tucking, and snarling are all signs that I am observant of and will back away to give the pup time on it's own to adjust and come to me when it is ready. I look forward to hearing from you and taking care of your precious family member. Thank you! I will have availability during the week and also on weekends to take care of your family member and I am available for pop in services such as potty breaks or walks during those days as well. Since I have two dogs of my own I won't be providing services at my home but I can visit your pups or cats in the convenience of their own homes.
About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.
“Morgan was so sweet and I felt comfortable trusting her to come take my dogs out for a walk. She sent me photos and I will absolutely be using her again for drop ins!”
