About: ASK ABOUT WHAT DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE Hey, I’m sure you’re wondering “why should I let this guy near my precious animal?” or something or that nature. Well here’s some basic info for you. -I’m a pet owner of 2 absolutely adorable troublemakers that I’ve raised since they were kittens so I can keep animals alive for extended time. I’ve also lived with roommates who had their own pets and have plenty of experience caring for other peoples animals. -I use to work/volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college for a year so I have a experience working one on one and with groups of animals -Friends and family always remark on how well I get along with animals and how much I absolutely love them more than humans -I am very cooperative/receptive with your pets needs and your wishes! It’s your pet so you’ll know more than me what they need when it comes to their care. Trust me as a fellow pet owner I know! -I’m always happy to answer questions before you’d like to use me so ask away! I work a full time job Monday through Friday, sometimes weekends, and on 3rd shift hours so my availability will be unfortunately restricted to morning hours, however I will try my best to be as available as possible! Sometimes I can work outside my posted availability but no promises, feel free to ask! I do special promotions and discounts as well, ask away! I’ll treat your pet as I would treat my pets. Try and give them a clean and safe environment, with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs/cats for the past 3 years. I currently dog sit for my brother and his wife (5 dogs of various ages: 1yr up to 7yrs old) I am available for your dogs needs any time of day. I will do my best to stick to a routine if you have one in place (feeding times, walking times, etc) I will follow directions to a T. Safety is my number one priority. Rest assured that your pets will be in good and caring hands. If you have any questions or concerns I am always available to talk.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes - I grew up with Labs and took on dog sitting when I was 18. Now 23, I have 2 dogs of my own and care for them like they’re my children. I have experience with dogs from Labs to Corgis to Huskys - I also have experience in training my own dogs with a local program, so I am well versed in being a responsible care taker. I work from home! A lot of what I do on a daily basis can be done through my phone and my schedule is very flexible. In our home, we love to keep our dogs active and socialize them. We take them on short trips to Hocking Hills, play in the backyard and go on walks to the local park. In a client’s home, I am always considering the dog’s typical routine to keep them happy while their owners are away.
About: Hi! I've taken care of animals for about 40 years. I had horses growing up, then my kids got into 4h and I've help raise chicken, turkeys, pigs, and dairy feeders. I've also had numerous big dogs that have lived to be anywhere from 10 to 14 years. We recently rescued our dog harley and we use rover when we go on vacation so I thought I would help others with the stress of worrying about their pets while they are gone. I promise to care for them like they were my own.❤️ I'm currently working part-time which I'm hoping to be able to quit and do this full-time because of my love for pets. I just love them! I would prefer to watch pets in ur home bc my pet isn't very dog friendly and is very protective of my husband and i.

About: I've worked as a vet assistant so medications and treatments do not scare me. I have had my own pets my entire life. I can do basic training and work well with pets of all ages. I'm going to take care of them as if they were my own. I work as a Realtor so I have extensive background checks and stick to a strict code of ethics in everything I do. I have flexibility to work with my animals every day and will do the same with you I will follow your rules to a T. I will make sure your pet has all their needs met. From walks, baths if needed, feeding, training and playing I will do whatever it takes to make your loved ones happy and safe

About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! A little about me - I’m a wife, mom of 3, and of course an avid animal lover which is what led me to Rover. I have experience with small to large breeds and from puppies to seniors. I live on two acres of land, however none of it is fenced in so pets that are in my care will be leashed during any and all outdoor time. My home is very clean and well kept! My schedule is open and flexible. I am reliable, experienced, and pay close attention to detail. So please, feel free to give me any and all details that I will need to make sure that your fur baby is happy, accommodated, and comfortable. Pets in my care mostly have free range of the house when they are with me. Crated only if I need to leave. Potty breaks are given as often as they’re needed. I will watch for their ques and also take them out often. I send daily updates with pictures/videos so that pet parents are always informed on how their pets are doing during their time with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
About: I've taken care of many stray kittens as a kid and my own pets as well (both dogs and cats). I know how important quality care is. Currently I am unemployed- So this leaves me plenty of time to give quality care to your furry friend. I have dependable transportation to be there for your pet. With more weary pets I tend to just be there to fulfill their needs and be present in the house. However with pets that are friendly with strangers, I'm more than happy to give them all of the attention they want!
About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.
About: I’ve grew up on a horse farm where my parents also breed and raised Rottweilers growing up! I have been around animals of all sizes from before I can remember. I also have years of experience taking care of all types and sizes of animals due to this, from tiny teacup chihuahuas to gentle giants! Given plenty of baths, special feedings and followed strict schedules! I recently lost my 9 year old great dane and am missing a companion around dearly. Looking for some cool pups to make friends with who are in need of some company to! I currently am a stay at home momma myself! I tend to just mosey around the house and take walks to the park right next door with the kiddos nowadays. I have complete open availability, with lots of space in and out of my home to accommodate for your fur baby. I enjoy animals company more than people most days so if your fur baby needs a friend, let get together! I have a secure large fenced in yard. Although i am still happy to take them on daily walks. Also i love rewarding them with some of their favorite treats, so please bring theirs! Crates are welcome if needed, not necessarily however, I plan to be very attentive. With over night stays if they are normally crated, I do ask you bring theirs so they can be comfortable. My home is open and clean, they are more than welcome to play in or the yard as well. Bring their favorite toys/ ropes or balls so we can enjoy all our time in or outside the house.
