“Beaudin and Bella had a great time there. I had been looking for a place for them to stay when I go out of town and they stayed here for 4 days. They came home happy, healthy and CLEAN!! I will definitely use them again whenever I need boarding or just play time.”
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“Madison did such a great job with all my babies. She took care of my two cats and two dogs. I got picture updates which really gave me a peace of mind. When I picked them up they were happy and looked like they had a good time with all the other puppers! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sarah took such great care of my dog. I was bery nervous to leave her and sad the place my mom booked in St Augustine did not accept dogs. I think my dog had a great time and was loved with Sarah. I wish I lived nearby to use her more.”
“An absolute joy to have our dog spend time with Denise! She is amazing, kept us informed with pics and nice notes each day. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone wanting a loving and caring sitter for your pet.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I’m very attentive pet lover I enjoy spending time with animals, will play with, walk, feed, and care for your dog as if he or she is my own. I have dog sat for many friends and family members. Even got offered pets because of how well they seen me take care animals. I Have experience administering medicine, giving baths, nursing dogs back to health, training, and more. I’m very energetic and playful and will make sure your pet gets the proper exercise and burn off all that extra energy. I volunteer at the local animal shelter taking dogs on bow wow break out and fostering. I have 2 dogs stormy and koda. Stormy just turned a year old and koda is 6 months old very playful and loves other animals. We go on long walks in the park and on nearby trails. They love car rides and pup cups from Jermiah’s. I have two 4 year old cats Chloe, and Oliver that have their own room and kept separate from other animals when needed. I work from home overnight and I home school my 7 year old daughter so I’m home majority of the time outside of running errands. Morning feeding happen between 6 and 8am followed by yard play and then nap time. Pm feeding are usually between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm followed by a little time to burn off steam or a walk before bedtime. I do let pets out to use the bathroom every 2 to 4 hours. Bowls and crates are washed and kept clean daily along with vacuuming the floors. Loving and caring for your pet as if it’s my own, long walks, supervised play time, separate feedings, time to decompress, pets will always be leashed or in a secure enclosed area. Pets are allowed on furniture. I will keep pet owners updated with pictures and videos throughout visit. Calls and text anytime day or night are welcome.
“This is the second time we’ve used Rowan’s services, and as always, she’s wonderful. I love how attentive she is to my fur babies and how she sends plenty of updates. Even when I can’t always respond, she continues to update me on their daily activities, which is a huge plus.. 💚 My babies love their Aunt Rowan, especially Oku. He seems very sad when we leave, and we even have to tell him that he’ll see her again next time. Booking is easy, and she’s also very accommodating with last minute day extensions. Nice and friendly she's our go to puppy sitter and is great overall... 🐾💖”
“She was a great last minute sitter! We traveled to Florida with our dog and he didn’t adjust well to the hotel, so she kept my dog while we went to a concert. She responds quickly, and her family is great! She has a loving dog of her own and the dogs had a great time playing!”
“You couldn't ask for a better second home while you're away from home! Cocoa loves being with Eliza and her family, playing with the other dogs, and hunting lizards in the yard. Eliza is such a blessing!”
“Taco had an amazing stay at Bridget's. She and her entire family took care of Taco like their own despite him being a big boy . Bridget was so consistent with giving me updates and sharing pictures. Me and my husband are thoroughly pleased with their service and we will definitely send Ta o back to them anytime there is a need . Thank again for taking care of our boy!!”
“Oreo loves Christina. She is absolutely fantastic! She treated our dog, Oreo like family. He was so happy and well-cared for. Oreo is a picky eater but Christina is so patient to him and always makes sure that he will eat his food. We received daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!!”
“If there was the option of giving them 1 million stars, I would. Rebecca and Michael not only saved me very last minute, but I did not need to compromise on any of my expectations. Rebecca and Michael have the perfect set up for taking care of our pups, and do it with so much love. The daily pictures and texts demonstrated the amazing time that my pups were having. You cannot beat their services and you cannot beat their prices. If they will have us again, they will definitely become my pups’ sitter every time I need to travel. 1 million thank yous to Rebecca and Michael. It is a blessing to be able to find someone like yourselves to leave our K9 family members with peace of mind.”
“Natalie is amazing! Not only did she pick up and drop off Kai which was so helpful, she took such good care of her. She sent pictures and updates and I knew our dog was in great hands!!”
“Warm and caring sitter; bright, welcoming, dog-friendly home with a neat fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. After the initial pet care plan for my St. Augustine vacation fell through, I found I needed to board my dogs for the very first time, very anxiety-provoking for both me and them. The initial kennel situation I found did not work for their sensitive cuddly little souls and I was scrambling to find a better option. I was incredibly lucky to find Leanna on Rover. She responded very promptly to my booking request and assured me she would give my little guys the attention, freedom, comfort and cuddles they craved. Right upon arriving, I could tell my dogs felt comfortable with Leanna and comfortable in her home. From the way she welcomed them and the patience and friendliness she showed as they got settled and acquainted with her dogs, I could tell that she was both very experienced and a true dog lover. Leanna kept me updated on how my guys were doing, with photos which I so appreciated. I could see that they were behaving like their typical selves, finding the same types of comfy spots they love at home, socializing with her dogs and curling up cozy with her. When I picked them up, they weren’t even in a hurry to leave and one of them who is typically quite anxious and slow to warm actually whimpered looking toward her house as if he didn’t want to leave! It’s almost like they had a vacation of their own in Leanna’s lovely home with her and her dogs. Amazingly, I actually got back dogs who were calmer and more confident than the ones I left! I am beyond grateful for Leanna’s loving care of my dogs for the week they were with her. I feel that she really treated them like her own. As a result, I was able to actually relax on vacation and not worry about them at all. If I ever come to St. Augustine with my dogs again I will be sure to contact Leanna. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“We had a very positive experience leaving Riley with Taqueria and her family. They gave her lots of love, took her on walks and communicated well via text and photos. We would definitely use her services again!”
“Helen Marie is great! I am looking forward to rebook with her again in the near future. She staid with my little yorkie for 3 weeks and we were not worried about it because we did a meet and greet and we liked her from the very beginning and we could really tell that she really cares for your pet. She kept us updated about our dog with pictures and he looked happy and comfortable around her and her home. If anyone is looking for a dog sitter Helen is the number one to go to! I know she will be my number one. Thanks Helen and we will see you soon.”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”

“Briana was super attentive with my cats, one of which requires daily SubQ fluids! She gave detailed notes for each visit, and plenty of pictures (my favorite part). My cats were well taken care of! I could not recommend her more.”
“Lindsay was great, followed all my directions 100%. Also, I was really glad to have her watching my cats when "they" (I know which one) broke a plate. She cleaned it up and put out another bowl. also, they went through the dry food I had -she bought more and saved the day! I'll definitely book again with her.”
“We’re so glad we found Sam through the Rover app! She agreed to care for our grand-kitty Mando on pretty short notice and provided him with care that was beyond expectation. She sent sweet pics of him at the conclusion of each drop-in visit which reassured us that he was receiving thorough attention. I love that the pics captured her petting and playing with him and he looked super happy! We travel a lot and will definitely be using Sam again in the very near future. SHE WAS AWESOME!”
“What an amazing experience and person. Great communication and tons of pictures. Shasta was not only well cared for, she was super chill when we came home. No anxiety or stress, just happy. Have already booked 2 additional trips and many more to come. Thank you!!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being.

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
“Gillian is wonderful. I have used Gillian services 2x’s to drop in for my cat. Although my cat can never be found because he is so afraid of humans. Gillian drops in to give him some wet food & to make sure he is eating & drinking. I would definitely have Gillian look after my cat again.”
“Kylie was super easy to work with and did a great job of feeding our kitties while we were out of town. The photo updates gave us peace of mind. She even went the extra mile and provided photos of her playing with them! Would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: I am a full time animal care specialist that works with and trains large marine mammals. I have 5 years of behavioral modification experience using operant conditioning, so feel free to inquire about training! I am used to spending a majority of time with animals and it’s one of my favorite things to do! I have experience with young newborn kittens as well as newborn puppies. I’m usually a go-to for friends & family to pet sit their animals. I am currently working Monday through Friday and i'm looking for a more productive way to spend my weekends. Most evenings in the week I am also free so please feel free to ask about evening drop in's or walks throughout the week. My pets have always been loved and spoiled and I would have it no other way. I’ve always been taught to treat others how you would like to be treated and I believe the same goes for pets. Our fur babies are so important to us and I only want to provide a safe and loving environment for them. I currently live on half an acre with a fenced in back yard for lots of play time.

“Marie is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of somebody I didn't know but she made this the best experience! All of my animals loved her and it was so nice having peace of mind that they were well cared for while I was gone. 100000% will use Marie again!!”

About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.
About: I have experience with small, medium, large, and XL dogs! I've experienced leash aggression dogs as well. With that being said I can also watch reptiles! I have my own cats, toffee hognose, zero-bearded dragons, and a leopard gecko. As someone who has their own pets, I know the importance of knowing that your fur baby is cared for in your absence. Currently, I am a grad student at USAHS enrolled in the OTD program. I have class Monday-Friday but am not gone for longer than 3-4 hours a day. After classes your pet will be with me for the rest of the day so we will have a ton of time to play! Your pet will never go anywhere unsupervised, he/she will always be taken care of as if they were my own, they will be walked every potty break, they will be the only dog in the home too. The only times I will be gone is for classes/labs. I will stick to the rover times you've set through the app to ensure you feel safe with each visit. I'm more than happy to send pictures and videos for updates as well.
“Eliza gives her attention to every pup 🐶 in her care!! Biskit is always happy to arrive at her home. We have been very pleased with Eliza’s professional and caring services!”
“I DON'T leave Madyson with just anybody. Nycole is such a warm, kind gentle soul. When Madyson met Nycole and Nycole's family on the initial meet and greet, Madyson took an immediate liking to Nycole, Nycole's mom Denise and Nycole's fur babies, Buddy and Angel. So leaving Madyson for a few hours with Nycole gave me a piece of mind knowing Madyson was being well taken care of. I WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING WITH MADYSON. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NYCOLE FOR TAKING CARE OF YOUR FUR BABIES WHEN THE NEED ARISES.”
“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”
“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”

“I cannot express in words properly how absolutely wonderful Natalie was with our big goofy hound. Natalie put all of our anxieties at ease with her gentle nature and patience. Our pup seemed to look forward to his second day with her and had zero separation anxiety!!! Thank you Natalie for taking such great care of our fur baby!!!!!!!!”
“Mariana was such a WONDERFUL sitter for old Hilbert!! She took him for 2 walks, dried him off after getting stuck in the rain, and treated him like he belonged to her! If we are ever in St Augustine again, I will definitely use her again!”
“We were so pleased with Cody and Angel's care. They love staying with Amy and her doggy's. We are very happy . Amy is wonderful looking forward to using the service with Amy alot in the future.”
“Leanna was so sweet with our elderly yorkie/Chihuahua. Not only did she provide last minute care for us but made sure Ivy was settled and happy and sent us updates. You can tell she not only loves dogs but is a lovely kind person. Thank you!”
“Sophie's first visit with Kat - she returned to us relaxed and happy. Kat took her for 3 walks during the day and Sophie behaved better with her than she does with us on the leash. Kat helped Sophie through a little anxiety when an unexpected thunderstorm passed through. We hadn't told her about Sophie's fear of loud noises like gunshots, fireworks, and thunder - but she knew just what to do to help calm her. We're looking forward to another visit next week and more to come. Highly recommend (and the only reason we hesitate to give a glowing recommendations is purely selfish - we don't want y'all to grab all her availability!)”
“Mary did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She was attentive, caring, and made sure my dog was happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and how well she handled everything. Highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was great with our pup. He loves her. She has two fun-loving and playful dogs that our dog really liked, as well. Melissa has a clean home and spacious backyard. We will definitely come back.”
“We had such a great experience! This was a pretty last-minute booking while we were visiting St. Augustine, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. Clara was well cared for and happy when we picked her up, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out for the day. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her flexibility—especially when we ended up running late due to traffic. She was very understanding and kind about it, which meant a lot. We would absolutely trust her with Clara again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care!”
“Nelli and her daughter were very great with taking care of Buddy. The love and care they gave Buddy speak volumes. Buddy was going through a "scared of being around people" stage, but around Nelli and her daughter, he warmed up instantly and really enjoyed being around them. Buddy was in good hands during the two times I had to drop him off with Nelli. She is someone I can trust and feel comfortable leaving my young puppy with. I will be using her services in the future, and highly recommended her to anyone who needs someone to dog sit, walk the dog, or board. If there were 10 stars, that's what I would give her!”
“Bailey loves staying at Laura’s house. He gets excited as soon as we get near her house. Laura is excellent with responses, pictures of your pup, frequent updates. I can’t say enough good things about her. We are very lucky to have found her. If your pet loves going there she has to be good. Her entire family loves on Bailey they are beyond great 🐾❤️”

“I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic dog walking service provided by William for my beloved Coco. As a dog owner, finding a reliable and caring walker is crucial, and William has exceeded all expectations!! From day one, William has been incredibly dependable. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, rain or shine. Knowing that Coco is in good hands gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work or school. Communication with William is seamless. He is always responsive to messages, and he proactively updates me on Coco's walks. I appreciate the occasional photos he sends – they brighten up my day and allow me to see Coco enjoying her time with him :) Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend William as a dog walker for any fur parent. His genuine love for dogs, combined with his professionalism and reliability, makes him an outstanding choice. Coco is in great hands with William, and I am grateful to have him as a trusted dog walker. Thank you, William, for providing such exceptional care and love to Coco on her walks!”

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life both big and small. I’ve also volunteered at the SAFE dog shelter for about 6 months. I absolutely love all animals but especially dogs! I work full time so I’m looking to walk/house sit on night and weekends. I could use my lunch break at work to tend to the dogs needs. I’m extremely fun and playful so I would just follow your wishes of how you wanted your dog to be taken care of. I also enjoy taking walks.
About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.

Whether you need a consistent walker, a drop-in visit, or a trusted sitter, I bring the care directly to you.Having transitioned from a partner-based service, I now bring a more personalized, one-on-one approach to pet care. I am fully committed to delivering a safe, engaging, and loving experience for your pet For added safety and reliability, I operate as a two-person team. Having a partner involved in the care process provides an extra layer of security and ensures that your pet’s schedule,from feedings to medication,is always managed with a 'second set of eyes' for total accuracy and peace of mind."

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. Cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, bearded dragons— you name it. I've done pet setting during high school, and now that I'm going to college soon, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have the most experience working with cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and recently had an elder dog for many years. I've volunteered at the humane society for fostering, so I can take care of kittens as well if needed. I have a very open schedule since I just recently graduated. I'm available to come over and check on pets between 9am-9pm any day of the week. I have open availability for house sitting as well, but for more info please feel free to contact me! I always make sure the pets are healthy and happy whenever I see them. I can clean up any messes or accidents they may have made, and I can give medicine in their food or orally. If your pet is a little skittish at first, it's not a problem! I'll let them come to me at their own pace so they won't get scared, and I'll be sure to offer plenty of treats as well.

“This is the second time we’ve used Rowan’s services, and as always, she’s wonderful. I love how attentive she is to my fur babies and how she sends plenty of updates. Even when I can’t always respond, she continues to update me on their daily activities, which is a huge plus.. 💚 My babies love their Aunt Rowan, especially Oku. He seems very sad when we leave, and we even have to tell him that he’ll see her again next time. Booking is easy, and she’s also very accommodating with last minute day extensions. Nice and friendly she's our go to puppy sitter and is great overall... 🐾💖”
“She was a great last minute sitter! We traveled to Florida with our dog and he didn’t adjust well to the hotel, so she kept my dog while we went to a concert. She responds quickly, and her family is great! She has a loving dog of her own and the dogs had a great time playing!”
“You couldn't ask for a better second home while you're away from home! Cocoa loves being with Eliza and her family, playing with the other dogs, and hunting lizards in the yard. Eliza is such a blessing!”
“Taco had an amazing stay at Bridget's. She and her entire family took care of Taco like their own despite him being a big boy . Bridget was so consistent with giving me updates and sharing pictures. Me and my husband are thoroughly pleased with their service and we will definitely send Ta o back to them anytime there is a need . Thank again for taking care of our boy!!”
“Natalie is amazing! Not only did she pick up and drop off Kai which was so helpful, she took such good care of her. She sent pictures and updates and I knew our dog was in great hands!!”
“We had a very positive experience leaving Riley with Taqueria and her family. They gave her lots of love, took her on walks and communicated well via text and photos. We would definitely use her services again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Danielle was a wonderful dog sitter. She sent us pictures of our 2 labs every day which we really appreciated. She let us know an antic or two as well which if you know Labrador retrievers there is bound to be a playful antic every day. She even told us that she would be willing to babysit our fur babies again, which we are very grateful for! Thank you Danielle!!”
“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“I highly recommend Samantha and Daniel as your next pet sitter! Very communicative & easy to work with through the whole process. It was obvious the whole family really enjoys welcoming dogs into their home and taking excellent care of them! Will definitely look to them for our needs in the future! Thank you!!”
About: Well, I am highly experienced. I've been involved with animals since the age of seven years old. I've been around everything from fish to cats to dogs to birds to farm animals to livestock. I love bonding with animals gives you such joy. I've had sitters before and I've had good experiences in bad experiences. I would hope that you would trust that if I'm watching your dog in your home that your home will be taken care of as well as your animal. I am able to provide CPR I am quick thinking I do come with a medical background. I have reliable transportation and I myself I'm very reliable. Currently, I work four days a week so I have plenty of time and I'm trying to use this opportunity to become full-time as an animal/pet caretaker I'm just an animal lover. What can I say? If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I will definitely let the dog out if they need to go out in the yard if they need a walk, I would include a walk make sure they get their daily meals daily vitamins, daily supplements if they get dirty and it's OK to give them a bath, I would give them a bath. I would also maintain your home. Keep it nice and tidy so that when you arrived, you didn't have all that drama of having to clean up after.
“Kelly and James and their family are FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover and we booked with Kelly and James based on some profile preferences. They took the time out of their own busy schedule first to do a “meet and greet” with us and our dog Charlie and we were instantly at ease. Kelly was very kind, personable and thoughtful and thorough in learning ours and Charlie’s schedule, likes, dislikes, and if he had any behavior quirks. Throughout Charlie’s stay Kelly and fam shared daily pics and a summary of Charlie’s activities (eating, sleeping, playing, potty) so we knew day to day he was doing great - this really helped us relax while we were away. Their home is very comfortably “pet friendly” appointed with safety gates for any restricted areas (ie the kitchen which totally makes sense!) and even throws/covers on the dog-friendly pieces of furniture (for fur control) for wind down TV snuggle time. 11/10, highly recommend Kelly and James and we will certainly rebook when our travel schedule calls for it. Thank you Kelly and James for a top notch experience!”
“I am very grateful to have found Danielle on Rover.com. My goldendoodle had a wonderful time with her in her home. She is kind and very sweet to our furry friends and I plan to work with her many times in the future.”
