“Jen was an awesome sitter for our sweet Golden, Captain. She was welcoming and kind from the start and I could tell how much she loves her Labs and felt a kinship that Captain would be welcomed into the retriever pack! Although I was nervous because he hasn’t really been around kitties, he ended up doing fine and Jen assured me he adjusted well and she sent great updates and photos while we were away! I highly recommend Jen!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Anika and her family. She was amazing with communication and patience with our dog when she had a tough time sleeping at night. We appreciate her so much! Would absolutely recommend.”
“I had never boarded my older dog before and was anxious about the whole situation, but Julianne & Ragen made the whole process start to finish so much more comfortable than I had expected! Being able to communicate before, during and after our vacation really helped me to feel confident that our sweet Kiwi was happy, healthy and well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Julianne & Ragen next time we need a friend for our sweet girl!”
“We never leave our fur-kid, but Jordan made the process feel safe for us as well as Sadie. She took to Jordan shortly after we arrived and we knew it would be a good place for her. We are so pleased to have found Jordan and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Serena was absolutely incredible with my dog Oliver! He was instantly happy to meet her and her family at the meet great and had a wonderful weekend getting spoiled with lots of cuddles and walks everyday! Will absolutely be booking with Serena in the future!”
“Eliza has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. She has watched my dog multiple times and has had her over for playtime with her own dogs. Eliza genuinely loves animals, and my dog is always excited to see her. She is reliable, caring, and communicates well, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever my dog is with her. I always know my dog is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection in a safe environment. I highly recommend Eliza to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Herschel had a great stay with Susan! She was easy to make plans with and asked lots of questions about his care before his stay. I could tell she really wanted to make sure he was well taken care of. Her home has a safe outdoor area that he can run around in. He can be a handful but she did a great job with him!”
“Abigail was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and I needed someone last minute and she was great with Huckleberry. She communicated great and sent pictures throughout his visit. He loved it there!”
“They were great from start to finish. Quick to respond about my last minute request. Pleasant to work details out with. Jude seemed well cared for and happy when I picked her up. So happy this worked out last minute, they saved the day for me.”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our Rottweiler and multiple cats. She was attentive to details, maintained clear communication throughout our time away and put our mind at ease from the very beginning. She is very intuitive and had some great insights about our dog's behavior and eating habits when we returned. Not only was our dog happy and healthy when we picked her up... she had an extra shine and enthusiasm that made for a seamless transition back home. Very highly recommended!”
“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”
“Kristina really enjoyed having Winston as a guest. She sent updates and pics, and he clearly was fully relaxed and happy in her care. I will use her again, and again, and again!!”
“Garrett and Monica are the BEST with our Koe. They’re so accommodating and love him like he is their own. Koe loves coming to stay at “Zeus’ house” and is always so happy to arrive. Thank you for all you both do!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Gordy! It’s never easy leaving our dog with someone new, but she made us feel completely at ease from the start. She is kind, communicative and is clearly super good with animals! She took Gordy to the dog park and let him play and get some energy out! It’s obvious he had been loved and well looked after while we were away. We really appreciated the updates (with pictures and videos!) and the peace of mind she gave us throughout the stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”
“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of our high energy pup Tucker! He came home happy and was tired which is unusual for him! We were happy to have her watching him for a weekend getaway and will use her services again in the future as needed.”
About: Hi, I’m Rachael! Owner of 3 dogs with my spouse and we love to take them camping, hiking, and out for adventures. I’ve had pets since I was a child and have taken care of animals since I was a teenager, pet sitting for family and friends when they vacationed. I worked as a vet technician for 6 years so I have experience administering medications orally and by injection. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or stopping-in to check on your pet to let them out to potty or to feed them, I’d be happy to take care of your furry loved ones. I’m new to Rover and taking care of pets is what I love and enjoy. I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, giving me plenty of time and availability to take care of your pet too. I’m available for pet sitting, dog walks, and drop-ins. Having 3 dogs at home, I understand how important it is to make sure they feel loved and safe. I will send you daily pictures and let you know how they are doing.

“Lisa did a wonderful job caring for my cat Luna and my 3 fish. Great communication and photos. My cat was very relaxed and happy upon my return. That speaks volumes on her care.”
“Andrea was fantastic! It was clear from the get go she cared about our cat Penny, and she took such good care of her while we were gone, including getting a heater from her home to keep Penny warm when our heater suddenly stopped working. She took great pictures and handled her medications and food / water / litter perfectly, we'll definitely book her again!”
“Kelsey dropped in and made sure our kitty had some company and pets every day we were gone. She was also willing to water my tomato plants and kept them alive. She is responsive and very easy to communicate with!”

About: Cats deserve just as much individualized attention as dogs, and I strive to provide a calm, low-stress environment where they can settle in comfortably while you're away. I have over 14 years of experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, from outgoing social butterflies to those who simply prefer a quiet place to observe. Whether your cat enjoys attention or likes to take things at their own pace, I tailor my care to their individual routine and comfort level. My background includes veterinary shadowing and experience administering oral and injectable medications. I'm comfortable caring for senior cats, kittens, and those with special medical or dietary needs. Boarding cats are provided with their own quiet space away from resident dogs so they can relax without unnecessary stress. I closely monitor eating, drinking, litter box habits, behavior, and overall comfort throughout their stay and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. Whether your cat is staying overnight while you're traveling or simply needs a comfortable place to stay for a few days, my goal is to make their experience as peaceful, safe, and familiar as possible.
“Emma was the bright candle on my Thanksgiving and birthday week! I became suddenly ill and had to find help fast! Emma was available and worked with me at the last minute to secure care for my 4 cats while I recovered. She is very sweet with my kitties as they are very shy. Great job Emma!”

I currently live in a house with me ESA cat Bella and her adopted brother Rip. that I’ve had since I was about 8 years old! I give them the best care, quality food, wet, dry and some raw/ cooked meats every once in awhile. I clean their litter box every day! I open the windows for her because she used to be a outside kitty and follow me around but she’s older now and likes to be sleeping with me or on the sofa with me. I have taken care of hyper dog breeds, the ones people think are overwhelming and they’re my favorite to work with! Once you create a good bond they look forward to anything! I enjoy playing with them, playing running games, walking a lot, and teaching commands.
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away.

I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
“Bryce and Nate have been incredibly accommodating and have kept our Loki pup (beagle) walked and snuggled during his daycare! He comes home a happy little guy! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6. I’m experienced in walking, crate training, potty training, bathing and administering medication. I know can to help them with upset stomachs. I CAN take care of cats and dogs 24/7 while they are with me. Nothing is more important to me than your pet feeling safe and welcome. I’m currently not working so I am home all throughout the day ready to care for your loved ones. Your pets are my number one priority and will make sure giving pets are on demand. I have a fenced yard and multiple rooms and kennels in my house so they can be locked up easily if needed. I will follow YOUR feeding schedule and not stray from routine.
About: I have had a love for all animals since I was a little girl. I have either had a pet to care for or have been watching friends pets whenever the opportunity arises. I am a stay at home mom. I am available to check in on animals throughout the day or even take them for a walk! I like to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of whenever you are away. I want to make sure they have what they need.
“Kristina was so wonderful with Rosie! Rosie did not want to leave! She had lots of toys to play with & lots of love! Kristina sent funny pics and updates through Rosie’s stay and she responded quickly to my texts and questions. I will definitely reach out to Kristina again to care for Rosie & I highly recommend her & Winter to care for your dog!”
“Anika was amazing with my puppy!! George had an awesome time at her place. I trusted Anika with my fur baby and felt completely at ease having him there knowing he was being well taken care of and loved by a fellow Golden mom. She even practiced some training with him that we have been working on. I Highly Recommend Anika!”
“Linda was amazing! She has a great gated side yard for your pet to play in. She will treat your pet like family. My dog Cash came back happy after every day of doggy day care. Linda sent plenty of pics which allowed me to feel at ease during work. Would definately recommend and already planning to contact her next time I’m in the area.”
“It’s like a summer camp for pups! We were in the area for a rafting trip and couldn’t take her with us. We found Dorothea and Richard who had high ratings. We took a bit of a driving adventure to Rogue City area and found their expansive property at the top of a hill of so many acres where the pups do long hikes, play, and get thoughtful care. We had never left our puppy (8 mo) with someone. She was nervous when we left and we came back to find a relaxed, tired, happy pup who seemed to have the time of her life. We appreciated the videos we got throughout the day and how welcomed we and Sky felt. Professional with paperwork and offer to tour property. Thank you Dorothea!”
About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and even had up to 7 dogs at one point in my childhood home! I’ve always loved having pets and I even used to pet sit for neighbors frequently. I’m currently not working so I’m able to pet sit Monday-Sunday! I’m open to following specific routines that you have for your pet. I’m also available to do overnights if needed :) I do have a fenced in yard where I can supervise your pet. I currently have no personal pets of my own. I love to maintain their schedule as I know it could be hard for your pet to be in a new environment.
“I needed someone last minute for a roadtrip drive through and she accommodated! I felt comfortable the moment I met her and so did Theo (my child-dog). She sent me pictures, messages and reassurance when I needed it. I will contact her 100% when I return.”
“We left our almost 2 year old lab Charley with Alan for day care for about 7 hours while we explored Ashland and went to the Shakespeare Festival to see a play. Alan took Charley to play at the dog park and also to cool off in the creek. He said pictures and let us know how she was doing during the day. Charley had a great time with Alan. She was safe and happy and we knew our girl was in good hands! I would highly recommend Alan for doggy daycare and will use him again next time we come to beautiful Ashland!”
“Garrett was AWESOME! He handled my three Siberian Huskies with ease. His attention to the dogs was top notch (especially monitoring their heat levels during this warmer weather) and his photo updates were adorable and very appreciated. Highly Suggest!”
“The pups were so happy when picked up - they had an awesome day while we floated down the Rogue River. Great communication and easy to work with - Would highly recommend!”

About: I have 3 cats, but I care deeply about all animals. My life’s calling is to care for animals which is why I finally decided to proceed with vet tech schooling. My whole life I have taken care of dogs and cats and have loved every moment of it. Caring for my pets is the best and most satisfying part of my day. After working with tech in Geek Squad for 2 and a half years, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to do in life. I always knew my calling was to care for animals which is why I am in the process of starting vet tech schooling and looking for a job outside of tech working as a vet assistant. I promise to always provide the best care you could ask for when caring for your pets. If your animals need to come to my house I do have a big fenced in yard that they can play in and I welcome all animals in all rooms of my house and they are allowed to be on furniture. Because of how much I care for animals you will never have to worry about your pet being left alone or missing a meal.

“Lexy was wonderful. She arrived promptly every day for four days. She fed and walked our dog Bertie exactly as we had agreed upon. Bertie loved her which was a great relief to us. I would not hesitate to use her again, and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“So happy to have found Emma! My dog loved her immediately and it was easy to tell she really loves animals. She sent great pics and videos and kept me up to date on how he was doing!”
About: I have over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes lifelong pet ownership, kennel work, veterinary shadowing, and professional pet sitting through Rover. I am comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, dogs requiring medications (including oral and injectable medications), and pets with special routines or needs. My goal is to provide a calm, structured home where every pet feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is different—some love to play, while others simply want a quiet place to relax. I tailor each stay to your pet's personality, energy level, and routine whenever possible. Safety is one of my highest priorities. I carefully supervise introductions, monitor body language and stress signals, and use separate spaces, baby gates, and crates (when appropriate or requested) to ensure every pet has a positive experience. I believe thoughtful planning and honest communication create the best boarding experience for both pets and their owners. My husband Andrew and I work together to provide attentive care, which means there are two experienced adults available for walks, playtime, supervised introductions, potty breaks, medication administration, and lots of affection. I don't believe every dog is the right fit for every environment—and that's okay. My goal is to ensure every booking is the right fit so every pet can have the safest, happiest, and least stressful experience possible. Whether your pet is staying overnight, spending the day while you're exploring Southern Oregon, or simply needs a safe place to relax while you're out to dinner or attending an event, I strive to treat every guest like a member of our own family. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to maintain it while they're in my care. Whether your pet enjoys active play, leisurely walks, or simply lounging nearby, I tailor each day to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work part-time outside the home, but my schedule is intentionally arranged around pet care. Throughout the day, your pet will receive regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment, exercise, plenty of affection, and opportunities to rest. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is doing well. Your pet's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide care in a calm, home environment with a fully fenced backyard, baby gates for flexible separation when needed, and thoughtful introductions between dogs. I believe every pet deserves an environment that matches their personality. Some dogs enjoy having a playmate, while others are happiest relaxing on their own—and that's perfectly okay. Our resident pets include: • Benny, our friendly German Shepherd/Border Collie mix, who enjoys meeting new dogs but understands that not every guest wants to play. • Cricket, our tiny 6-pound Chihuahua mix, who generally prefers to quietly observe from a distance. Every once in a while he'll decide another dog is his new best friend—and if that happens, they've definitely won the lottery! Because every pet is different, I supervise interactions closely and adjust the environment to help everyone feel comfortable. My goal is never to force interactions, but to create a positive, low-stress experience for every guest. For first-time boarding and daycare guests—particularly larger dogs or adolescent puppies—I may recommend a Meet & Greet beforehand to ensure my home is the best fit for everyone.
About: I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs since I was a young teen, and have had multiple furry best friends of my own over the past 15 years. I'm highly qualified to provide the best possible care for your beloved friend, including seniors and pets with special needs. I'm a volunteer dog-walker at the local animal shelter, and have the ability to exercise high-energy dogs. I'd love to keep your dog healthy, active and socialized while you're away! My schedule is open and available for pet-sitting or dog-walking any day of the week! 24/7 available care when I overnight sit at your home In your home, I can stay overnight or make 1 house visit per day. I stick to the schedule you provide for feeding and walking so that your pet needs to make as few adjustments as possible to their daily routine.
About: I have been house sitting for coworkers and family since I was 15 years old, and I adore it! I love all types of pets, and have taken care of both cats and dogs. I also raised a 10 week old puppy who is 5 years old now, and he’s very well behaved with no bad behaviors. I am a full time university student, but when spending time taking care of someone’s pet, I do take care to disclose my class schedule. I would do best for pets that are okay being alone for 5-7 hours at a time, as I have some back-to-back classes that I can’t miss. I am very passionate about animals and I love spending quality time with dogs and cats, so when I am with the pets I will be able to give them undivided attention. When in a clients home, I take great care in making sure that the pet stays safe and in no trouble. I make sure that any outside access is monitored and/or closed off to being able to escape or get into danger. I also stay mindful about not leaving things out for a potential animal to get into, and when I am home with your furry friend, I do everything I can to keep my eyes on them!
“Kara is a great walker! She clearly cared about our pup and was enthusiastic to take her out. Great communication and obviously wanted to do a great job. Will book again for sure in the future!”
“We just met Anika. My dog is super shy with people when she first meets them, but not Anika. She definitely passed the vibe test for my dog Stella. I felt 100% comfortable having Anika come into my home and walk my dog. It is such a stress reliever knowing I can trust someone to help me care for Stella on a long work day. I definitely noticed on the days Anika walked Stella, Stella was way more chill when I got home from work . I appreciated Anika’s communication and her love for working with dogs is evident. She is not someone doing a side gig as a dog walker. She has years of experience and knowledge working with pets. I’m grateful we found her.”
“Kristen was so sweet, professional, and caring for the month or so I needed her. Fortunate finding her to trust with my puppy and in my house (which is hard for me as a natural worrier). She communicated about situations that arose.”

About: I have done pet sitting for over 5 years which include boarding, housesitting and dog walking. I have also cared for cats, chickens, exotic birds and baby goats (bottle fed). I have cared for elderly pets, seizure pets and have no problem with giving medications. ****If you are requesting housesitting, I do have a small easy-going chill dog that likes to come with me if you are ok with that. He gets along with all dogs and cats alike. I do request that we have a meet and greet prior so as to ensure you are comfortable with me in your home and with your pets. I work remotely during the day. So I would be with your pet(s) for the majority of the day. They would only be left alone a few hours on occasion for errands/appointments and such.

“Camilla is a very friendly and professional dog walker. Our pup immediately warmed up to her. She asked thoughtful questions before taking him on the first walk and he came back tired. Will definitely be booking again with Camilla!”
About: I am bilingual in English and Spanish! I am very active and available. I will care for your animal with all my love and attention.

“This guy is kickass. He really cares about your pet and he went out of his way to be respectful of any requests I had for my pup. He even showed up the night to introduce himself and get to know my pup named max. Max loves him and I probably will use his services in the future”
About: I have extensive experience with raising animals! I was born into a family of dog lovers, and I have always had a furry friend for as long as I can remember. I have reared and cared for fourteen puppies all at the same time! This includes special-needs puppies who required consistent attention and hand feeding. I have sat for all different sorts of breeds, sizes, and animals! Including small animals like rats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I have a deep love and compassion for animals and also have a lot of experience in dog training, meaning I am more than happy to keep up with any regimen or structure your friend needs. I work from home as a writer so my schedule is completely open outside of the work I'll be doing here on Rover! In terms of my writing career, when and how I do it is completely flexible meaning I am happy to hear your pet's routine and mold my work around them. I will care for your pets with strict adherence to how you'd like me to care for them. In terms of my personal pet-parenting style, I am the sort who sees my animals as family and they're allowed to lie on the couches and beds. Your pets health and diet are very important to me, so I will always take as much info or instruction as you wish to give me. We have two dogs and a cat at home, all of which are friendly towards other animals, so I will ask that your pet plays nice, with them, as well! Animals who are tolerant/non-aggressive but need space are more than welcome to remain in a quiet room unbothered by our furry family members. We have a loft area where they can be completely separated if need be! They will, however, cross paths with the other dogs and cat when walked or let out in the fenced yard.
About: I’ve owned pets for all my life and believe that all animals deserve to be treated with kindness and love. I’ve helped walk and dog sit for people for four years now. I’ve stayed with puppies, senior dogs (barely can walk and use the bathroom), and dogs filled with anxiety. I hope to make your pet’s time away from you as peaceful and enjoyable as possible. I’m home from college this summer so my schedule is very open to staying with a pet for however long they need. Staying over night or just a few hours to keep them entertained, loved, and cared for all work perfectly with my schedule. I love to spend personal time with my clients’ pets, making sure their nervous systems are regulated and cared for. I don’t just care for their physical health but also mental. I can stay at my client’s house and take pets on daily walks, making sure they get plenty of of exercise.
About: Look, anyone can watch a pet. My thing? I actually listen. Seriously. My superpower is picking up on what animals are trying to tell me—be it a happy purr, a 'back off' bark, or a goat's casual bleat for attention. Being a digital nomad means my schedule is entirely my own, so I can truly be present and adapt to their needs, not some rigid clock. Playtime? Cuddles? Or just needing space? I read the room (or yard, or barn). I've got hands-on experience with everything from puppies to pigs, so your critters are always in genuinely attuned hands. This isn't just some gig; it's about making a real connection, deeply. As a digital nomad, my work goes where I go, and my schedule is completely my own. That means no rushing off to an office, no rigid 9-to-5, and definitely no 'squeezing in' pet time. I build my day around the animals I'm caring for. If a dog needs an extra walk, or a cat wants a sudden play session When I'm caring for your pets, my absolute focus is on maintaining their normal routine and comfort right there in their own space. I'm not just showing up to feed and split; I'm integrating into their lives. That means sticking to their feeding schedule, managing medications if needed, and keeping their environment exactly how you left it—clean, familiar, and totally stress-free. Here's the deal: as a digital nomad, my work goes where I go, and my schedule is completely my own. That translates directly into true presence for your pets. If I'm house sitting for you, your animals essentially become my co-workers. That means spontaneous play sessions, consistent outdoor time, and me being fully available. You'll get regular updates so you're never left wondering. Ultimately, it comes down to being attuned to their unique needs and ensuring they feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as they do with you, without ever having to leave their familiar surroundings.

“Jen was an awesome sitter for our sweet Golden, Captain. She was welcoming and kind from the start and I could tell how much she loves her Labs and felt a kinship that Captain would be welcomed into the retriever pack! Although I was nervous because he hasn’t really been around kitties, he ended up doing fine and Jen assured me he adjusted well and she sent great updates and photos while we were away! I highly recommend Jen!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Anika and her family. She was amazing with communication and patience with our dog when she had a tough time sleeping at night. We appreciate her so much! Would absolutely recommend.”
“I had never boarded my older dog before and was anxious about the whole situation, but Julianne & Ragen made the whole process start to finish so much more comfortable than I had expected! Being able to communicate before, during and after our vacation really helped me to feel confident that our sweet Kiwi was happy, healthy and well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Julianne & Ragen next time we need a friend for our sweet girl!”
“We never leave our fur-kid, but Jordan made the process feel safe for us as well as Sadie. She took to Jordan shortly after we arrived and we knew it would be a good place for her. We are so pleased to have found Jordan and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Abigail was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and I needed someone last minute and she was great with Huckleberry. She communicated great and sent pictures throughout his visit. He loved it there!”
“They were great from start to finish. Quick to respond about my last minute request. Pleasant to work details out with. Jude seemed well cared for and happy when I picked her up. So happy this worked out last minute, they saved the day for me.”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our Rottweiler and multiple cats. She was attentive to details, maintained clear communication throughout our time away and put our mind at ease from the very beginning. She is very intuitive and had some great insights about our dog's behavior and eating habits when we returned. Not only was our dog happy and healthy when we picked her up... she had an extra shine and enthusiasm that made for a seamless transition back home. Very highly recommended!”
“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”
“Garrett and Monica are the BEST with our Koe. They’re so accommodating and love him like he is their own. Koe loves coming to stay at “Zeus’ house” and is always so happy to arrive. Thank you for all you both do!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Gordy! It’s never easy leaving our dog with someone new, but she made us feel completely at ease from the start. She is kind, communicative and is clearly super good with animals! She took Gordy to the dog park and let him play and get some energy out! It’s obvious he had been loved and well looked after while we were away. We really appreciated the updates (with pictures and videos!) and the peace of mind she gave us throughout the stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”
“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of our high energy pup Tucker! He came home happy and was tired which is unusual for him! We were happy to have her watching him for a weekend getaway and will use her services again in the future as needed.”
About: Hi, I’m Rachael! Owner of 3 dogs with my spouse and we love to take them camping, hiking, and out for adventures. I’ve had pets since I was a child and have taken care of animals since I was a teenager, pet sitting for family and friends when they vacationed. I worked as a vet technician for 6 years so I have experience administering medications orally and by injection. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or stopping-in to check on your pet to let them out to potty or to feed them, I’d be happy to take care of your furry loved ones. I’m new to Rover and taking care of pets is what I love and enjoy. I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, giving me plenty of time and availability to take care of your pet too. I’m available for pet sitting, dog walks, and drop-ins. Having 3 dogs at home, I understand how important it is to make sure they feel loved and safe. I will send you daily pictures and let you know how they are doing.
“Charli was amazing with my dog! Super responsive, answered all my questions, and made sure every one of my dog's needs were met. I would definitely book again and highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Linda took great care of our two small dogs, Abby and Cooper, while we were out of town. She has a nice house and a beautiful back yard that was perfect for them to run around in. It was like a weekend play date for our pups and I'm sure they enjoyed playing with the other dogs. We would be very happy to have Linda take care of them again in the future!”
“She is incredibly kind. Please send me pictures and updates of my dog. She took excellent care of her. My dog returned clean, just as I had left her. I Will be booking with her again. .”
“Our dog Bodhi had the best time with Avram! He took him to the lake to swim multiple times, played fetch with him, let him roam around his fenced in yard, sent photo updates. We were grateful to know he was in good hands while on vacation! I would highly recommend Avram to watch your furry friends!”
