Carly is sweet and my dog seemed well-cared-for and happy when I picked her up. Would use her again. The only inconvenience is that my dog sleeps in a crate, which I had to take with me.

About: We've taken care of various breeds of dogs our whole lives and each dog is a family member that lives their best life daily! We are able to care of dogs of any age and ensure that each dog is loved and taken care of. We work from home so there is unlimited play time, walks and car rides along with trips to the park and frequent potty breaks too. We have a fenced in backyard and take time to play throughout the day. Dogs are allowed on the furniture so they can be comfortable and areas are closed off where dogs are not allowed.

About: I've taken care of and owned many types of animals in my life including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Mini horse, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, ferrets, birds, and rabbits. I love all animals and nature! I currently work a part time job and want to see where rover takes me. I'm available most days of the week any time of day mostly. However there may be a few days I'm only available for part of the day. I have 2 dogs one is 14lb and the other 22lbs. They are spoiled and love to play and will keep your pup company. I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during a stay if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.

About: My name is Jessa and I am a 30 year old female. I have always been an animal lover and have had cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I would love the opportunity to help out in your pet care needs. I have a fully fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood for walks! Let me know if you think it would be a good fit and you can contact me! It is me and my mom in the home, so good availability around the clock 😁 I work Monday- Friday 8 hour shifts. I'm available any day, but if dog sitting or doing doggy daycare during those days, the potty breaks would be 8 hour span while I'm at work. I'll give them my full attention and make sure they are well cared for 😁 I have always been an animal lover and want them to be as comfortable as possible!

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish and chickens. I can care for almost any animal with love and affection. I work remotely Monday thru Friday so I can care for your pet in my home during the week and I can do visits during the weekends I own my home. I have an extra large crate to accommodate any sized dog. I am more than willing to open my home and couch to your pet. 😂 Your rules are my rules. My yard has a large garden with many flowers and good things to sniff. And the local park has a stream and lots of wildlife.

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.

I will take care of anything you want or need. Contact me anytime to schedule a meeting. At the meeting, you can show me your routine and make sure that you feel comfortable with me…But more importantly, your animal(s) love me!! Initially, having a stranger in your home may be difficult.

I do not allow or have company in your home nor do any types of behaviors that would be deemed as inappropriate. At our initial meeting, I provide my personal contact information so you can additionally feel secure knowing that you are able to contact me or others no matter what time.

About: I live it the country between Hayfield and Kasson and love pets. We have a friendly cat named Pickles who spends most of his time lounging in a sunny spot. Our teenage kids are busy with school, spots and jobs. When they are around- They love pets and do some pet sitting of their own. We lost our 17 year old dog, Dudley last year and I’m missing a furry companion during the day. I’d love to meet your Pet family and spend time with them! I’m home most days and pretty flexible. Ideally I’d like to provide regular doggie daycare for the same family as needed. But for now hoping to find a few furry friends to share my work days with. I will care for your dog in my home, while I am working. I have a very flexible schedule so am very available to let them out and give the attention. I often work while sitting on the couch with my computer on my lap. Your pal can sit right next to me.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish and chickens. I can care for almost any animal with love and affection. I work remotely Monday thru Friday so I can care for your pet in my home during the week and I can do visits during the weekends I own my home. I have an extra large crate to accommodate any sized dog. I am more than willing to open my home and couch to your pet. 😂 Your rules are my rules. My yard has a large garden with many flowers and good things to sniff. And the local park has a stream and lots of wildlife.

I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during a stay if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

About: I love animals, and have been around them my whole life. I’m the type of person who greets the pets first before the owner! I had a four year old Bernese Mountain dog named Mabel, who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with an aggressive, incurable cancer, and I had to say goodbye to my best friend recently. So I have experience with potty training, leash training, and lots of patience. Millie is a rescue, and she’s an angel. She is so good with other dogs too, I just know she would have been the best mama! I’m a full time nurse, so I know my schedule about two months in advance. Unfortunately, I’m not as flexible as I wish I could be, but know I’ll definitely try my best to help you and your pets! If you give me time to plan, that helps me a lot. I live in a rental property, with a fenced in backyard that Millie loves! We love our dog parks, multiple walking paths, and nature trails. Your dog will definitely be active with us, weather permitting of course.

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve had dogs consistently in my house since I was born. We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.

I'm available any day, but if dog sitting or doing doggy daycare during those days, the potty breaks would be 8 hour span while I'm at work. I'll give them my full attention and make sure they are well cared for 😁 I have always been an animal lover and want them to be as comfortable as possible!

We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!

About: I work from home. I have a small backyard and a park nearby with a walking path. I have 3 children who are good around pets. We have one dog of our own who is a 70lb, 12 year old female. My experience comes from my own pets and checking on friend’s pets while they are away. I am available in the mornings before work, can be flexible about lunch and breaks to leave and check on pets and end my work day at 5 (Mon-Fri). If I go into work, it is often on a Wednesday and my parents come check on my dog while I am away for the day. My home: I have a fenced yard, 1 older dog, and gates in the house to keep the dogs on the main floor. I do not have a crate or dog toys. My dog prefers long walks, scratches and a good nap. My dog is a large poodle breed.
