About: Hello! My name is Anna, and I am a public school teacher in the area! I am looking to make some extra money in the summers by pet sitting. I have a cat at home named Oliver, who I have had for 7 years. I grew up with large and small dogs, and have experience with rodents and reptiles as well! I have done Rover a few times before in the summers between school years. I love animals and would love to help take care of your fur babies :) Best, Anna C. I am a teacher, so in the summers I am free during most week days. Some weekends I will be at the shore, but I may be home some weekends as well! Until mid June my schedule is a bit more busy but would be willing to take some jobs here and there. I will follow all directions and timelines you give me to keep your fur baby the most comfortable! I am very flexible and would be willing to work with you to make this the most comfortable experience for your pet!

Handled our dogs very well! One of them requires medication and is very nervous around new people but she warmed right up to her. Highly recommend! Will use in future.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Volunteering at the SPCA, to either play with, clean kennels, walk, and just to hang out and give them love! My neighbors, family, and friends have always relied on me to take care of their dogs while they are away! I am currently working part time but I have a lot of availability throughout the summer to be able to take care of your animals. Anytime I get to either snuggle with dogs/ cats, play with any animal I treat them as if they were my own! Making sure they are comfortable with me before we start having some playtime fun, if I know an animal doesn’t like something I will back away and stop what I’m doing until they are comfortable and calmed down! Keeping your dog in the crate no problem!! Each rule and instructions you give me I will follow to the max! Anything that happens or if needed to be changed due the weather etc. I will update you and let you know! I also send pictures of your furry friends each time I visit so that you can see how they are doing!

Lydia was wonderful to work with and our pups loved her! She was very easy going, was great with communication, followed instructions perfectly and sent awesome pictures of our dogs to us every drop in. It was comforting to know our dogs were in such great hands while we were away for the weekend. 10/10 highly recommend hiring Lydia for taking care of your animals!

Alex is amazing and I feel very lucky to have her care for my cat. My cat really enjoys being with her and always looks happy in the photos and videos she sends. She gives thoughtful updates after every visit and keeps me reassured when I am away. She is easy to talk to and always responsive. I would happily recommend Alex and will absolutely book with her again.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child. From puppies and kittens to old dogs and cats. I have fostered and sat for friends and family. I have a dog of my own who’s a very active breed so I am constantly playing or walking with her. My family has two cats and they are a blast to play with or just hangout with. I can create a nice environment for your pet, however you see fit. For active dogs we can go on walks or find a fenced in area to play.

Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of my cocker spaniel! She came 3 times a day and he really felt comfortable with her. Rebecca gave me an update and photos at every visit and an update on how he was , which is really great! She also voiced any concerns she had! Definitely reliable and such a lovely girl!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.

About: Everyone underestimates the companionship that animals bring to their owners. Hoping to help out when you can't be there for your pet. I enjoy taking daily walks. I work remotely in the West Chester area so I have a flexible schedule to tend to your pet's needs. I enjoy being outside and being active. I have a large and flat yard but would need to leash your pet for daily walks and outings. I have a small dog myself who enjoys running with me when the weather permits.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life! I adopted my childhood dog when I was about 8 years old. I have experience working with pets of all ages and can administer medication, including injections. I don't have a formal job and since this is my summer break from university, I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I can walk pets, take them outside for bathroom breaks frequently, play with them indoors or outdoors, give them medication if necessary, and feed them! I have experience in fulfilling almost any need a pet has.

Brady's visit was quite impressive with my two senior dogs. My dogs are rescues and take a while to warm up to people so the constantly bark. They didn't really bark at all and warmed up to him right away which always takes longer with others even family so I was impressed. Brady was always on time and very polite I'm excited we found someone that my dogs will enjoy!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and enjoy being outside and taking walks! I have a Lab of my own and love her to death and I would treat your dog like it is my own! I have dog sat for a many families as well as my own dogs. The most I have watched was three at a time and I have always had at least two dogs in my household while I was growing up. I have fostered dogs in the past as well through All4Paws volunteer group. *Note: I have a 2 year old spayed lab who gets along with all other dogs so open to play dates together and boarding at my home. Also open to staying at your home go board. Most weekends show unavailable for boarding/house sitting but you can always reach out to see if I’m available Weekly- 5-7am & after 4pm TBD weekends! Morning/early afternoon visits/walks are likely ideal. I can do last minute drop in visits if it’s close to my work but that’ll just depend on my work day I have a dog of my own who loves all dogs! She will be 3 at the end of August & is spayed. No fenced yard at our home

About: Good day and good night! My name is Khall and I have experience taking care of both small and large dogs. I've regularly performed tasks such as dogwalking, dogsitting, and tending to animal healthcare needs since moving to the Oxford area. My goal is to ensure your little (or big) one is safe, secure and stimulated while you're away! Currently, I work full-time during the morning into the afternoon during the week. Mid to late afternoon and evenings are primarily when I can provide petcare. My availability for Sundays and Mondays are quite open. Wednesday drop-ins can be discussed. In conjuction with keeping known medical issues and habits to watch out for regarding a pet, my approach to safety is to keep a keen eye out and respond to irregularities and concerning behaviors with urgency.

Ariana has been wonderful! She’s dropping in multiple times a day/week to care for my very young puppy who’s working on potty training. She’s gentle and sweet with her! My work schedule can vary weekly and Ariana has been so flexible in accommodating which is greatly appreciated! She’s a great puppy sitter!

I know a couple of people that have used,worked at Rover or used to work for them, and I'm so glad I chose them. Easy to download the app, pick who you would hopefully be a good fit, etc ...and they come to your house for a meet and greet which is a plus for both the clients and sitter's. I was hesitant because we adopted both dogs, one just in Feb and they are a handful together, but Sara was an excellent sitter knowing how nervous I was to leave for 4 days; she texted me back, sent me pictures and made sure I knew they were doing good and that they were getting along. I highly recommend Rover and of course Sara. I worked with the elderly and with special needs children so I know how important it is to trust and be trusted with someone coming into your home and feeling comfortable and appreciate. Sara went above and beyond to make sure I knew my dogs were safe and being taken care of.
