About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. I can do drop in visits and/or walks! When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.

About: I got my first dog when I was 10. She was a puppy when I got her and was the love of my life. She taught me responsibility, patience, love, gentleness, and kindness. In my adulthood I fostered a sweet dog for two years before I had my children. Now I’m a single mom who is looking to help care for your dog during the times my children are not with me. I’m a single mom on a parenting schedule. I would care for your pet on the weekends my children are with their dad. During that time I would be readily available and have a lot of flexibility. I can easily come to your home and care for your pet as requested. I live in a single family home with a walking trail across the street. No fenced yard.

“Very attentive & reliable drop ins for our cats over some time away 😸😸 Would certainly book again!”

About: From the moment I wake up, pet care is my top priority. Mornings begin with fresh water, clean bowls, nutritious meals, and outdoor time. Your pet will have constant care and companionship and will feel right at home with room to roam - and someone by their side all day. I will treat your pet as if it were my own with respect, care, trust. ask me any questions! thank you ! i always respond! I work remote and my girlfriend who also is a sitter on rover works remote 3 days a week, so your dog will never be alone or unattended. Always being cared for as they would be at their own home! Safety is most important for me. House has a fully fenced in yard, gates inside for feeding time, automatic poland spring dog bowl feeder to keep everyone hydrated. No excess or not recommended food to keep dogs from feeling ill. Leashed outside of house on walks.

About: I have owned and taken care of pets my whole life. Within the past five years did I start actively pet sitting. Services I have experience in include staying overnight (can be long term after discussion), drop-ins, feeding, and consistent walking. I also have helped pets with taking medications. I am currently working full time, so pet care would best work Friday to Sunday evening. If the location is close, I will be able to do weekday overnight stays. I would like to see the owner’s home first to ensure I can get in / get out and take care of the pet properly! This includes taking note of fenced yards, any space the pet is not allowed in, and being aware of pet habits (chewing on items, scratching, not potty trained). This ensures I know what to do beforehand and can give the best pet care.

About: I have been a pet lover and caretaker my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, and reptiles, and helping out with my neighbor's farm animals. I have three years experience dog-walking, and another two years experience volunteering at a local animal shelter. I have cared for animals of all stripes (and spots), with various temperaments, activity levels, ages, and medical needs. I work from home Tuesday-Thursday with plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and attention! My weekends are also open. I take pet care very seriously, and will devote the time and attention your fuzzy baby needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I have a car and can do pick ups before 11:00 AM and drop off after 7:00 PM. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with lots of parks and sidewalks for outdoor time. My kitten grew up with other animals before adoption and will welcome all creatures big and small.

“Claire did an amazing job with our 2 senior dogs! She went above and beyond for our pups.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life! I've grown up a HUGE animal lover and have often cared for my friends' dogs, cats, and other pets since I was younger. In addition, I am a volunteer with Hotel For Homeless Dogs in Providence, RI, and during the school year, I volunteer there weekly. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs! I promise to show your fur babies so much love and care, and to always treat them like my own. I currently have a part time job. This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule. I am available most days of the week and on occasion the weekends. I will pay close attention to any and all needs of your dogs! Let me know and I will make sure to do it. I can easily crate your dog, feed/walk them at specific times, give them medicine, etc if needed.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My family has a lot of foster dogs, so I have been able to take care of a variety of dogs (both my own and foster) throughout the years in addition to walking/taking care of neighbor’s dogs whenever necessary. I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so I have a lot of availability to work with in whatever capacity needed. I am new to the area and would love to explore through taking care of amazing pets in a context that is so enjoyable for me. I am a very caring animal owner who has a lot of experience with all different types of dogs as I have had foster dogs for most of my life. I am young and active, so I am able to handle high energy dogs as well.

“Lianne was wonderful with Kiki :) She gave updates with the great photos. Kiki was so happy to see her during every visit. Communication was very easy. Thank you, Lianne”

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.

“Sheylah took care of my dogs for a week with drop in visit She was always on time, very Friendly and always send check in messages with pictures of your dogs very friendly girl definitely hire her again.”

Brenda R.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in both home and barn environments. For the past three winters I’ve house sat for two large dogs, staying in their home and keeping their routine consistent while their owners were away. I know how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I also work at a barn where many clients bring their dogs while they ride horses. I regularly help watch and care for these dogs, and I’m often trusted to look after them while their owners travel. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had many of my own over the years. I care for every dog with the same attention, patience, and responsibility I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. Always happy to send photo updates during walks or visits! Flexible schedule please inquire for specific times. I work at a barn taking care of horses from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I can do whatever is necessary after work or on my days off. I have always had dogs and am accustomed to caring for them on a daily basis, feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, and keeping an eye on their well-being. I love animals and believe they deserve attention, care, and patience. I am a responsible and trustworthy person, so I always strive to ensure that the dog is safe, comfortable, and happy.
