“Olivia was absolutely amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving her with Miley. I got so many updates throughout the duration of my trip, so I always knew how things were going! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be rebooking her in the future! Thank you for taking such great care of Miley!!”

About: I have grown up with pets since I can remember. I have had pets ranging from cats and dogs to birds and my daughter even had a hedgehog. I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cat. I love animals. I have pet sat several times for friends, I even kept a friends 2 dogs for 3 weeks when she went on her trip to New Zealand. I have two years of professional pet sitting experience working with another company when I lived in Texas. I just recently moved from there. I recently moved from Texas to Illinois. I have open availability and hope to bring in a steady income once again pet sitting. I worked for a year as a professional pet sitter through a company in Texas. I can follow any routine with your pets in their own homes for their needs. I have the ability to stay overnight with them so that they are in the comfort of their own homes.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.
“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”

“Carly was absolutely fantastic! Carly communicated throughout the time I was gone and let me know how my dog was doing. My dog was super well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. 10/10 would recommend.”


“The best choice could make to trust them with my Sofy and house!! Came last night and thanks to them that keep me posted all the time with pictures, really enjoy vacations knowing all good:). Really recommend them!!!!”

“Blake always takes excellent care of our pup and our house. This last trip was extra, as we left town for a week during a stretch of severe winter weather. Chewie enjoys spending time with Blake. And we appreciate having someone on site when the weather drops below zero!”


About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.
“Sandra took great care of our dog and even scheduled a play date with his girlfriend! She wa Avery helpful in the house too during her stay and helped cleaned up and left the place very clean.”

“Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for pets, and 2 years as a veterinary technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for animal care. Your furry friends will receive an abundance of love and attention, and I have plenty to spare! My main focus is on in-home drop-in care. There are so many reasons to need care for your pet while you’re away, and I am here to ensure that those needs are met with exceptional care. Whether you need care for a pet while you are out of town, or routine drop-in’s while you are at work - I am happy to help. I have experience with all ages, and specialize in seniors. I am fully trained in administering medicine (oral, topical, and injection). Don’t worry though if you have an energetic puppy or your dog isn’t a senior- I am just as eager and energetic to meet their unique needs as well! The earliest I offer check-ins is 7 am and the latest is 8 pm. New to Rover? Use code JESSID64590 to save $20 on your first Rover booking! Pet care is currently my main focus, and my availability tends to reflect that. I will do check-ins starting at 7 am until 8 pm, all week. My calendar on Rover is typically accurate with regards to the days I am available, though times are subject to change. During my drop-in visits, a client can expect me to provide one-on-one personalized care for their pet. Each pet is unique, and so each check-in is unique, however, a drop-in always includes at least a potty break or litter change, fresh water and food (if it's a scheduled feeding time), and play/walk/snuggle time. If your pet needs medication, I will certainly be happy to administer that as well.

This was our first time having someone watch our dogs who wasn't family. Justin was responsive and accommodating before our booking which really put my mind at ease. The weekend he watched our pups he was reliable, punctual, thorough and genuinely pleasant. We will for sure book him again. He is absolutely wonderful. Our puppies feel like they have a new best friend.
