About: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies! I'm a graduate student work part-time so I have a good deal of flexibility. I am unavailable MWF 9am-1pm and T/TH 2pm-5pm. Beyond that, I am happy to work within our schedules to take care of your furry friends! Ultimately, I want to uphold what you would normally do to care for your pet. I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!

About: I’ve been surrounding by dogs my whole life and I love animals. I have two dogs myself and I’m looking to spread my love with yours when in need. I’m currently not working, but also starting up my own hobby. This hobby does not require a lot of my time, but rather my machine once I get it printing. I have a very flexible schedule now and would like to make some money until real production starts. I have a fenced in back yard and two loving dogs. I also live in a great neighborhood for walking and if they require running, well I can do that too. My dogs are very clean and sweet. They love there mommy and I can live yours too.

“Morgan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased. My dogs took to her immediately during our meet and greet and I knew I made the right decision. Morgan is friendly and kind and had a great positive energy. I knew my little ones were well taken care of while we were gone. She sent lots of pictures and updates. It was a very positive experience and I will definitely use Rover again and Morgan as well. Thank you Morgan!!”

“We’ve always relied on friends and family to care for our dog, so trusting someone new was a big step for us. Bonnie exceeded every expectation. I left her a detailed list of instructions, and she followed every one with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, kind, responsive, and it was obvious from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Throughout the entire experience, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and will treat your pet like one of their own, I can’t recommend Bonnie highly enough. She was absolutely wonderful, and we will definitely be using her again.”

“My experience with Madi was great! Showed up right on time. Great interactions with my cat, lots of play time as well as cuddles. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: In my 5 years of watching animals, I have found a passion in taking the best care of them and making them feel comfortable in their own homes. I have dealt with stressful dogs all the way to the outgoing kinds and know how to comfort them in anyways I can. I also have experience with training puppies and keeping up with them! Along with watching the animals, I am also there for you so if you have any plants that need watered or trash taken out I will happily do that for you! I am a Sophomore at East Carolina University and I do have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday! I only have 1-2 classes a day that are not longer than an hour! My top priority is making sure they are comfortable and not stressed with their owners being gone. I ask the owners if they have any ways of calming them down and what their daily routine is. I mold my schedule to what the animals are used to so they aren’t dealing with a big change.

“Monica has come now several times to walk our pups. They are so happy to see her for their walks. Monica is very friendly and honest, She treats our pups as if they we hers. It is truly a blessing that we found her.”

“Kiley was a lifesaver for us! Our usual dog sitter/walker couldn’t assist us and I was able to book Kiley on short notice. She went to our home and took exceptional care of our 7 month old Yorkie, Dash! I can’t say enough about how great she was with him. We received updates and photos which we were grateful for. Thank you Kiley! We look forward to booking you again soon. -John and Brianna”

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, caring for our animals was always one of my favorite chores, and my family currently has a pack of 8 dogs (can't all fit in my apartment lol). I started caring for animals outside of my own family when I was 10 and have experience with everything from dogs and cats to hermit crabs, leopard geckos, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I currently work as a therapist and am exploring getting a therapy dog of my own, so animals have always been an important part of my life. I truly believe pets bring so much joy, comfort, and value to our lives, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention they deserve! I am currently a therapist, so my schedule is flexible and can vary quite a bit. Pet care is the perfect way to spend my time between sessions! I currently do not have another fur-baby yet, so your pet would receive all of the love and attention. I am also outside frequently, and live in a very pet-friendly area, so there would be plenty of space for your pet to run around.

About: I have had both big and small dogs since I was young. I also have experience taking care of family members’, roommates’, and friends’ dogs. In college I would foster dogs on weekends with my roommates! I am in class during the week until about 5pm. I am available to take care of your dog during the evening or on weekends! I will love your dog like my own. Have never met a dog that wasn’t comfortable with me. Being kind is key to making a dog comfortable with a stranger.

About: I have always had pets in my life. I’ve cared for my neighbor’s, friends’, and family’s pets whenever they’ve needed me to. I love playing, walking, and giving attention to pets! I am working part time, completing observation hours, and helping out with an educational study. I will be able to take care of pets when I am not participating in these activities! I can walk or hangout with dogs a few times a day for 30 minutes to an hour! I live in an apartment with a puppy and an older dog. I am happy to come to the client’s house and care for their pets! If a client needs me to have the dog over at my apartment, I am more than happy to discuss and work something out!

About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.

“Super responsive and polite!!!”
