“Our Ellie just loves visiting Jill & family - we couldn’t ask for a better set up when needing to go somewhere without our pup! We are truly grateful for all the extras Jill provides along with her loving Ellie! Thank you Rover for helping us connect!”
About: I have a 10 year old black lab who has brought me years of happiness. Unfortunately, his activity is limited these days and I miss our long walks and trips to the lake. I've had cats and dogs my entire life (our family also includes 2 tuxedo cats) and enjoy their company and the hours of entertainment and love they give. I am retired from nursing but still have a desire to work and find this line of work to be very rewarding in many ways. Your pet will be loved and cared for in the same way mine are and I'm sure will bring me just as much joy. I am retired and can offer multiple days and times to care for your pet in a caring setting; no need to worry about them. My black lab, lives a pretty charmed life. He is an indoor dog with access to a large yard and an abundance of bones, toys and love to keep him happy. He likes his routine and I understand how important that can be for your pet. He is safely secured in our yard when outside and comfortable inside with his orthopedic beds, and he deserves it all. Our cats are indoor cats and tolerate other dogs well and also live a pretty charmed life.
About: Dogs deserve to feel at home while they’re away from home! I have cared for and trained dogs for most of my life and have plenty of time and love to share with them. I currently work from home and am home with my dogs all day. I would love to spend time with your dogs whether you are away at work or are having fun on vacation. My home can be the place where your puppies have fun on their vacation too! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and safely play outside and cozy dog beds and a couch for them to sleep inside.
About: I have never lived without a dog in my life, my family trains hunting dogs so I am very familiar with training and dog behaviors. I currently work two part time jobs, one more part time then the other but I'm available on weekends and wednesdays and weekdays after 3pm. I have one pup of my own who is very friendly and loves to make friends and a large unfenced yard, can crate if needed but the crate would need to be provided.
About: I've always been the one friends and family call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I've loved every minute of it. I never had a dog growing up because of allergies in my family, so this is my way of getting my dog fix! I love spending time with dogs, whether it's going for walks, playing, or just hanging out. I'll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, love, and care while you're away. I currently work full-time, but I'm available before and after work during the week and have open availability on the weekends. My available schedule is: Monday–Thursday: Before 7:30 AM Monday: 1:30-2:30pm Monday: After 7:00 PM Tuesday & Thursday: After 2:00 PM Wednesday: After 4:30 PM Friday–Sunday: Available all day I'm happy to work with you to find a time that works best! My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on walks, playing, or just giving them plenty of attention and company. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.
“Vanessa and her Family did an outstanding job of taking care of my 2 huskies for the 6 days and nights when I was traveling..... I will definitely be using her services in the near future. Thank you for your love for dogs. John S.”

“Jocelyn has watched my kitty Amren twice now, and I can't recommend her enough! She has taken excellent care of Amren both times, sending regular updates and pictures. Jocelyn is easily the best pet sitter I've ever met.... you won't be disappointed!”
“Great communication. Brought treats for our cats (Checked with us first) Seemed sincerely affectionate and fond of our cats. Gave us daily updates beyond the pictures and duties performed. We felt very comfortable being away because we felt our girls were in really good hands.”
“Daniel was great. He checked in every day and gave Nala plenty of attention. He was upfront about when he'd be at the house and made me feel comfortable knowing our girl was safe. He went above and beyond.”
“It was our first time using Mikayla through Rover. She did an excellent job! Her pre-travel visit communication was great and all through our trip. The kittens were taken care of very well. While they were very happy to see us home, they seemed content with their care......even the shy one!”
About: Growing up on a farm, I took care of many animals from a young age- cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens. As an adult, I have always had an animal and love taking care of friends and family's pets. I've taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs as well and can provide them all the love and attention they deserve I'm currently working part-time, and have time to play with your pups and cats! Whether it's an early morning walk, evening let out or taking care of your fur baby in your home while you're away- they'll be in good hands. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. I love taking walks so they can stretch those legs, feel comfortable crating animals if that's their routine and happily can play fetch with them in the backyard.

“Haylee was amazing with Darla. She was our first pet sitter on a 3 week long summer vacation. This is the first time we are traveling with our little Darla, and the first time to leave her with a pet sitter. That being said, we have to say, that Haylee absolutely put our minds at ease from the very beginning when we had our first video chat with her. After meeting her in person, we fell in love. She was super accommodating when our plans changed and had no issues with the possibility of changing from a doggy day care to a over night sleep over. Thank you again Haylee. We plan to call Haylee again the next time we are in MN. =)”
“We are so happy we found Jocelyn! Nala had a blast with Jocelyn and her fur crew! She shared several updates and pics throught the day. This was our first time using Rover with Nala bc she is very timid but she warmed up and fit right in. We'll definitely be booking again if we're in Myrtle. We came to visit and had to bring her at the last minute. Thank you so much, Jocelyn!”
“Joy did an amazing job with Shadow. She really came in a pinch to help me. Friendly environment and always felt safe leaving him there. He got plenty of exercise and some days didnt want to leave. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Kirsten, and I am such a big animal lover. Thank you for considering me to take care your loved one(s). I can’t wait to meet them! Photos posted on my profile are of all the furry friends that I love taking care of here on Rover, and also three of my own (Maui, Jax, & Von) 🥰 A little about me is — I love to be outdoors and staying active (especially with our fur-littles) when not behind a desk. I love to go hiking, kayaking, fishing, zip-lining and just about anything that gets me outside. I have many years of experience with house training and working with young/old pups and kittens of all breeds, also with deafness and blindness. I am also a nurse and animal-CPR certified with the American Red Cross. So, administering oral, optic and subcutaneous prescription medications, and/or chest compressions is all well within my comfort zone. I work a flexible day job where I am able to work from home most days of the week, Mon-Fri, 7-3:30. Mornings and afternoons/evenings work great for me, however, I am always willing to see what I can do. 😊 I will always allow the opportunity for a meet and greet, so your pets are most comfortable with me from day one! When it’s time for potty breaks, I’ll always ensure safety and the opportunity for exercise. Fresh water and litter are also a high priority of mine while in my care. I try to go above and beyond for their needs and safety!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets for many years now. My kids now share that experience and love running around with energetic puppies and cuddling with the older animals. I currently work full time but am available on the weekends, holidays, and certain weekdays. We go on walks and visit the dog park daily. I have a big fenced in backyard and 1 fur baby that loves making friends and playing with other dogs. We enjoy games of fetch and tug-o-war and do light training.
