About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.

Shelby is the perfect mix of friendly and attentive. My kitties were cared for while I was gone and they were happy when I got home. She sent so many pictures and videos which helped me feel so good about being so far away from my furbabies!! House was clean when I got home to a lovely thank you card and little gift. Shelby is awesome. So glad her schedule was open!! <3

About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!

Easily the best sitter I've had from this app. She communicates well, goes above and beyond, sends so many photos, and is a lovely human. I've booked with three pet sitters in total on Rover and she shines above the rest. I can tell she genuinely enjoys this job and cares about my pets well-being. I'm usually so anxious leaving my cats for long periods of time, but not at all with Maegan. I don't think words can properly express how wonderful she is!

Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)

About: I have worked in many different aspects of caring for animals, from shelters, to a boarding facility. I also volunteer for an animal shelter. I pet sit for friends often and love to do it!! I am obsessed with animals, ask anybody that knows me!! ☺️ I have at least 8 years experience working with animals. I have also had dogs my whole life, and currently have a sheltie puppy named Rosie. I have mainly worked with large breeds of dogs, but I love all dogs! I also have a passion for cats, and love to analyze their behavior and see why they react versus ‘that was bad.’ Please let me know if you are interested in me helping you and your pets! Thank you!

About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.

A true pet lover! My male adult cat is a bit stand of fish. She always treated him with kindness! Even when he ran off with her hair ties! Good natured , bubbly personality. Took care of Loki when I was gone. Feeding him and filling his water glass. YES, he’s one of those! Spoiled !
