I remember as a young college student taking on dog sitting jobs quite regularly. I was a full time college student and working a mostly full time job and didn’t think I had time to add much else into my schedule but dog sitting was a really great way for me to earn extra income and had a lot of flexibility. I could do it as little or as much as I wanted to and fit it in around my other commitments. Back then I relied on friends, coworkers, and family to refer me to others who needed a dog sitter. Things are different today when it comes to becoming a pet sitter and getting the word out.

My niece does a lot of dogsitting for people she knows. I will have to tell her about Rover.
What a great resource for those looking for a dog sitter, and those wanting to become a dog sitter! I love that it advertises for you so you can get more clients!
I think it would be so much fun to be a dog sitter! I love dogs, but my son is super allergic to them.
When we go out of town, it’s so stressful to think about who will care for our dog. She’s a part of the family, and it doesn’t feel right to leave her at a kennel. A dogsitter through Rover would be a huge blessing. I hadn’t ever considered becoming a dogsitter before, though!
This might work well for students who want to work but can’t get a traditional job due to school. Your dogs are very handsome.
