“Took great care of our pup.”

About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.

About: I love all animals and have fostered for the local Humane Society for the last couple of years. I am drawn to all animals regardless of type, size or breed. Sometimes the more unique the better but there’s something special about every pet. I work remotely so my schedule allows flexibility that is conducive to pet sitting. I am available 7 days a week. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings as well. I work remotely and love getting out for walks. I have a flexible schedule but I also know how hard it can be to entrust someone with your fur babies so I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

About: I have worked as a recurring dog sitter for several families over the past five years, each with a different breed of dog (Weimaraner, Schnauzer, Dachshund). This has equipped me with the specific tools and knowledge to provide exceptional care grounded in experience. Additionally, working with a wide range of breeds has afforded me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the varying behaviors and needs of different dogs. I deferred law school for one year to work on my creative writing. As a result, my schedule is very flexible and conducive to working around your family's unique pet care needs. I take pet health and safety vary seriously, practicing the same standards I use personally to keep my own pets safe. For me, this means maintaining a clean and tidy environment free from any potential hazards (e.g., not leaving chocolate at a level a dog could reasonably reach; making sure gates and doors are closed). In addition to maintaining a safe environment, I try to be emotionally tuned in to the animal I am watching. For instance, when the Weimaraner I watch gets anxious due to people walking past the house, I talk to her in a soft voice and pet her until she calms down. If I zip to the store, I will close the blinds so she is not in a position to be triggered by this stimulus.

About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 3 1/2 years. I am experienced in giving oral and injectable medications. I love dogs and cats of any size! I currently work 3 1/2 days a week and I’m doing pet care on my days off. I love spending my time meeting and taking care of new pets! I treat every pet like they are my own. I always send updates to the pet parents throughout my visits so everyone can be stress free!

“We love Elias!!! He has the knowledge and understanding that all animals are different and knows how to cater to different needs. I know I have nothing to worry about when I'm at work while Elias takes my dog on their off-leash trail hikes! He is very communicative and quick to respond when needed. Both my dog and I are SO happy to have Elias's help every week!”

About: Throughout my whole life there have been multiple dogs in my family. I have had my own dog before, and trained her from eight weeks old. Also, I have dog/house sat for dogs of friends and family over the years! I work in the schools so I am looking to pick up a side hustle while on summer break! I’m looking forward to a flexible schedule that incorporates my love for dogs and walking, it’s a two for one! I am very flexible and will do whatever you and your dog needs to be happy and healthy! I know what it is like to have a fur baby so I get what it’s like to do the best for them:) I am also an active person so I am able to meet the variety of needs for any dog!

“Excellent service and great relationship with Chessie. Kendra did everything I requested in walking Chessie and giving her meals. This was the second time I have engaged her and would definitely engage her again if the need arises.”

“Lori is fabulous with our dog, Benji. He seemed very happy on the days they went on walks together. Lori is great with sending pictures and updates!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. At about 5 years old, my father adopted my grandfather's two Beagles and they quickly became my best friends. Today, I have 2 dogs at home, one that's 17 and one that's 7. And still they're my best friends. For as much as I love dogs, it really does feel like they love me back. Whenever I go over anyone's house I hear " Wow he never behaves this well around people normally." Each dog is so unique and the most fun thing for me is learning what makes them wag their little tails! I work from home from my apartment and only have one roommate so I'm incredibly flexible when it comes to scheduling. I'm sure that I could make just about anything work given a small notice. I have a two room apartment and a kitchen. Playing and feeding is easy for me in the apartment, but I also have a park right near me, about a 5 minute walk away.

“Haley is absolutely wonderful! She is great at communicating things ahead of time and is very flexible if there’s a last minute change in the weekly schedule. My dog absolutely loves when it’s a “Haley walk day”. Absolutely recommend her!”

About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience including walks, overnight stays, and short visits. I also grew up with dogs and have lived with a few different cats in my adult life. I am new to the Rover app but am happy to provide references upon request. I work Monday-Friday 11-5 in Brattleboro. I can do overnights any day of the week, but just know that on these days I will be away for 6-7 hours depending on distance from your house. I love taking dogs on long walks and can do so 2-3 times a day. I am super communicative and experienced at house sitting while pet sitting. I am very respectful of people's homes and pets' routines. I will make sure to keep your house as clean - and your pet as happy - as you left them.

About: Every dog I met I treat like my own. I have fostered many dogs over the past 6 years, along with taking care of my own active dog. With fostering I have been able to train and get each dog out of their shell to find their forever home. I am also very comfortable with any size pup. I am available to walk your pup nights and weekends. I would also be able to stop in if needed on my lunch break during the day for a walk. I am also available to pet sit any day of the week 🙂 Every pup I treat like my own. I have basic first aid knowledge so I can take the best care of your pup if needed.

About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about the precious pets needs for me. I provide 5 star service and have a flexible schedule to meet your and your four legged friends needs! I don’t have a furry friend of my own but I love the opportunity to give a little love to all the pets I meet. Any dog big or small is awesome in my book. My aim is to make them happy and your life a bit easier! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to spend time with your wonderful pets! I currently work a 9 to 5 remote job and have plenty of flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I can house sit or do drop ins as needed with my schedule. I am the happiest when I am around dogs and enjoy playing with them! I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for over 8 years. I have access to trails in my backyard and live and work in a dog friendly area. I love meeting new friends and having fun adventures around our gorgeous town.

About: I’ve been a reliable source of pet care for friends and family, including midday potty breaks, walks, and check-ins. I provide consistent, attentive care you can count on! I work as a dental hygienist Monday–Thursday, and offer pet care Fridays through Sundays. My limited availability allows me to provide focused, reliable care on weekends. Pets in my home are always supervised in a calm, structured environment. I have one well-trained, timid dog. Due to an unfenced yard and nearby road, all outdoor time is on leash for safety.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8. I’ve fostered animals, and helped walk, feed, bathe, supply medicine (supplements and pills) to them for friends, family, etc for a little over 8 years now. I’m very experienced with younger dogs and can provide extensive walks / playtime for entertainment and engagement. I also love working with senior dogs as well, and can help provide a calm, stress free environment for them while their owner is away. I’m currently working part-time from home and have a very flexible schedule! I can do drop in visits, overnight stays, and even long weekends / weeks for vacations and getaways! Early mornings and late nights are no problem for me as well. I don’t mind cleaning up messes or puddles, and I can travel very flexibly if needed! I am OK helping with crate training, and providing a positive environment for any pup to grow in while their family is away! I have a fur baby of my own who is almost 4 years old, and absolutely adores other dogs! He is neutered, house trained, and very relaxed. He has been a very good role model for our youngest puppy in the house.

About: Ive been taking care of pets since high-school, from great danes to kitties! Including but not limited to great-danes, pitbulls, hounds, labs and kitties! I am good with animals of all temperaments, from timid and not sure to excited to see anything! I love all animals and would love to help with all your pet and house needs. I am currently part time and can work around your schedule as well. I already get up to take care of my hound, pitbull and kitties. I would love to help you out as well! I love animals and have experience with the animals that also make a mess. I change litter boxes and I can even clean up after the ones who can't always hold it. I feed, and give fresh water. I walk dogs and also have experience with pulling. I can also just let them out if trained to do so and hangout with them as needed!

“Allison was great with my dog Churro. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your house keys and beloved pet with a stranger! After a meet and greet, Allison agreed to walk and feed Churro while I was out of town. She was responsible, accountable and also flexible with a last minute request. Churro seemed happy and well cared for upon my return. I will be calling on Allison again in the near future for help with walking and caring for Churro!”

About: I have had a dog since I was born. My dog and I grew up together, learning together. Saying that I’ve had my fair share of experience being with pets. I have always had the responsibility to learn how to take care of them and their needs and we can’t forget having fun with toys and walks. Recently my dog sadly passed away and I would love nothing more being pets again. I currently work night shift during the week. So I’ll be available during the day after 7 am for playtime and walks and making sure they are fed and whatever they may need. I also have the weekends off Unfortunately I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have lots of grass for them to run around in and live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. Since I’m used to having two dogs in the home, I can accommodate most specific needs.

About: Growing up in Vermont on a farm, I have been exposed to animals my entire life. I have been taking care of family and friends dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, camels (yes, camels) since I was allowed to leave the driveway on my bike as a child. Since leaving high school I took on a professional equestrian career with Wichita riding academy working with rehabilitating abused/ off the track race horses. I have just recently moved to Denver with a fenced in yard and lots of space. I have a dog of my own that is my entire pride and joy who loves spending time with other dogs. Having a fenced in yard, it’s very helpful and handy to those pups with bladder issues to go in and out of the house as needed. My home was completely childproof when I moved in and it’s so far worked for dogs as well. Huge open field located next to the house available for dogs who like to run as well.
