I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Was nervous about boarding Stella since we’ve never done this. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and walks that Stella thoroughly enjoys.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and kittens of every kind since I was 10! I have had my own cats since very young, and currently take care of a young tabby named Jerry who is my baby! I also have experience volunteering at my local cat shelter, Kitten Krazy, where I would assist with basic vet care such as feeding formula or giving oral medication to kittens/older cats, brushing the cats as needed, feeding cats with special dietary needs and restrictions, cleaning litter boxes, giving eye drops, and offering lots of extra love and calming support to fearful/shy and formerly abused cat intakes. I have also volunteered to pet sit my friends and families’ cats when they are away on vacation or business trips! I am a huge cat lover and connect very well with all different cat personalities!

About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various kinds of animals, dogs and cats . I Will respect your love for your animal that you’ve trusted me with. I am Retired, enjoy walking so why not walk a dog? I’m very responsible, and if I say I’ll be there to care for your dog, I will be there. I live in a great neighbourhood with sidewalks. I have no problem taking a dog on a leash to a nearby park. I ALWAYS pick up after dog.

About: I've been around animals my entire life. Growing up, my family had two litters of Old English Sheepdogs. While I wasn't involved in the breeding process, I helped care for all of the puppies until they went to their forever homes, along with our three adult Sheepdogs. I also grew up around our family's three horses and have had two cats over the years. Today, I'm the proud pet parent of two Huskies—my boys, who I lovingly call my babies because they're truly part of my family. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to be available whenever you need dependable care for your pet. My flexible routine gives me plenty of time to provide your furry family member with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Pets are family too. I treat them with great care and follow any instructions provided. I can go on walks, play, have set feeding schedules, whatever is needed. I also love taking photos so sending them to clients would be a must. I want to keep everyone updated on their fur baby's experience with me.
About: My rover is always up and always being monitored. I have had a few people reach out to me through this app and we have had wonderful experiences! I know how hard it can be to leave a family member with a stranger! So reach out to me, let’s meet up and make sure that this will be a good fit! My boarding and sitting fees are reflective of the level of care your animal will receive in my care. I treat all animals as my own, allow them regular potty breaks, and take them for walks to expend their energy. My reviews speak for themself! Let me help you keep your animal safe and tended to while you rest, vacation, or attend to business! I live on my own, with only one cat as a pet. I have a two bedroom house with space on the higher level and then an open basement! I’m sure my space can accommodate your fur baby! Send me a message! Let’s see if we can figure this out together. I work from home most days so my schedule is usually wide open to take dogs out to the bathroom during the day and then extra exercise during the evenings. My home is in a quiet neighborhood filled with other lovely dogs. My cat is very nonchalant and typically minds his own business. Additionally, my daughter is only with me half time so that usually won’t pose any issues.
“We are really happy we found Deborah on Rover to care for our lovable playful girl! Deborah took great care of our Pixie girl, and reassured us with updates and pictures. Pixie had fun playing and slept very well when she came home.”
About: Hello, there my name is Kate. My experience with animals is both personal and professional. I have pet sit for clients for 10 years. I've taken care of all sorts of dogs small and large. When watching other's dogs, I provide them with the love and attention they need. I can feed, check up on, walk, and/or let your dogs out to play. My personal experience with animals dates back to early childhood. My first pet was a Maltese named mortimer. I love animals and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I am very active and I love taking dogs on walks. I am a graduate of Case Western Reserve University Class of 2016. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available weekdays after 3:00 PM eastern time. I am currently not accepting pets in my home but I am happy to visit and attend to your pets as needed at your location.

“Finn gets so much joy when his friend Cassie comes! All I have to say is ‘guess who is here’ before she rings the bell and he runs to the front door, with his most excited barking and greets her with so much enthusiasm! And she gets more kisses from him than I do!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: My wife and I love dogs and are active with local rescues. We have five dogs of our own at home, a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities! We have Lacy - a black lab, Goldie - a cocker spaniel, Cinder - a pit-bull mix, Timmy - a teacup yorkie, and our newest addition, Noelle - a golden doodle puppy. I have a flexible schedule and can usually fit in three or four drop-in visits a day. My wife and I are both in education, so we work hours that are conducive to a second job in pet care. My full time job is a middle school social studies teacher, so I have active background checks and certifications. In addition, we have three dogs at home that are certified therapy dogs and have their Canine Good Citizen certification. We make regular visits to local nursing homes with our pets.
About: From making sure to engage in adequate playtime and socialization as a puppy to assistance with grooming to the occasional diaper change and medications for senior care, I've loved and adored taking care of our family Bichon Frisé Angel Baby! Every pet brings a different personality and unconditional love to our lives, because they're not just friends ~ they're family! So why not give back just as much love as they give us? You are your fur babies' whole world, so give them the gift of a little company, a fun walk, playtime, and extra treats and cuddles! I'm currently unemployed, but still live with my parents, so I'll have plenty of time to look after your pets! If this changes at any time, I will let you know immediately, so I can assist you in finding other arrangements or finding a compromise to ensure your pet still receives the care they deserve! Because Angel Baby can get a little jealous since she's an old lady, we don't have other dogs at our house, but she still gets all my love! This means cleaning up the occasional potty accident, routinely checking that her toys are functional and free of any potential hazards, keeping up with her medication schedule, and making sure to stay attentive of vehicles and plants she may try to ingest during walks. For my new furry friends, this also means ensuring that all laundry detergent and other dangerous substances are properly secured/stored and making sure the yard is free of any hazards or any broken/insecure fencing. You will be notified as soon as possible of any unsafe conditions, because your fur baby is family and we protect our family!

About: I've had two large-breed dogs for about 7 years. I'm experienced with their training, but also how dogs interact with other dogs and people. I'm familiar with walking large dogs and keeping them safe when exercising. I'm detail oriented, responsible and thorough. I am flexible with scheduling and have reliable transportation. I understand feeding schedules and can accommodate a schedule that fits your pet. I have availability during the week and weekend. Within my home, I have a fenced in yard, doggy gates and am always sure to keep their information up to date. I'm careful with closing doors and keeping pets leashed to make sure they are safe on walks. I'm aware to keep a safe environment and put food and other things they could get into away.
