Dog Sitting Ada

About: Hello! I've been a Registered Nurse for over 19 years in a variety of settings. I spent 10 years at the beside in hospitals, volunteered internationally, performed chronic care coordination, and abstracted data for research. I currently work remotely for a health tech company in New York City which allows me to work from anywhere in the United States. I love travel, hiking, yoga, water activities and eating! I've grown up surrounded by animals- my family had two dogs, two cats and two hamsters for many years. Every summer my extended family meets at my Grandparents' northern Michigan island cottage and we often have more dogs than people! I'm easy-going, responsible and will care for your property and pets as if they were my own. I also petsit on Trusted Housesitters while working remotely and exploring the country. I am more than happy to share the stellar reviews on that platform if you'd like to see more recent petsitting activity. I work remotely with a super flexible schedule and I love to break up time spent on my laptop with dog walks or pet playtime! I can easily care for your pets in their home environment where they are the most comfortable. This allows for the added bonus of keeping an eye on your home while you're away.

About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.

“Morgan was able to come on short note while we were in town. Communication was excellent and my yorkie loved her right away.”

About: Volunteered and then worked full-time at an animal shelter, fell in love with our fluffy friends, and can't wait to make more! I was a long-time volunteer (2+ years) at the Ausable Valley Animal Shelter. Then I transitioned into a full-time position there as an animal technician and learned so much about general animal care, medication procedures, and sanitation requirements to meet state health codes. I truly miss being able to visit with new animals every day and look forward to bringing the bark (and meow) back into my life! I'm a student, which means class times are often at odd hours, leaving many mornings open to check in on pets, keep them company, or get in some doggy exercise! I am also available almost all Fridays-Sundays, making me the perfect option for pet sitting during your weekend plans. See below for more detailed availability (updated for Sept-Dec)! Monday : not available Tuesday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Wednesday : 7am-11am and 5pm-10pm Thursday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Friday-Sunday : all day availability I am an incredibly clean and organized person. I always try to leave the homes I pet-sit in just as they were when I entered, even if that means a bit extra clean-up!

About: I’ve had many pets over the years, I grew up on a farm. When I started Nannying out of high school, I also started petsitting because they often go hand in hand! Most families have a furry friend and went them to be loved and cared for the same as their child and I am great at providing that service. I want your furry friend to be loved and cared for the way you do everyday. I currently work part time as a Nanny, my schedule is 2-3 days a week 9am-5pm so I have plenty time to pop in for feedings and play time! My husband and I live in a one bedroom apartment with our 3 cats, with plenty of places to walk dogs near by. We seem to be the only people without a dog in the building so they are very accommodating for pups. Our cats are used to being around dogs after they sniff around a bit!

“Victoria was amazing helping us out with our two pups before a holiday getaway! She was dependable, caring, and made us feel so at ease while we were away. We are grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”

“Marlee was a great sitter for us! She paid very close attention to the cats and their needs and behavior. All of my worries were put to rest with her attention to detail. She was timely, respectful, and took great care of our fur kids and our home!”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of my family’s dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldn’t be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved! I work full time from 7:30-3:30 on weekdays, but have a lot of afternoon and evening availability for drop-ins and walks. I am also available for early morning drop-ins before 7:00 am. I follow all of the routines, procedures, and feeding instructions left by the pet’s family in order to provide great care for the pet and to ensure the home is safe and secure.

About: I have experience with dogs in different life stages, from puppies to seniors. When I was younger, I helped care for a retired lab guide dog through her senior years, which taught me the patience needed for older dogs. Later, I raised and successfully potty trained a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I taught basic commands like sit, catch, come, and stay. I also have experience doing drop in visits for neighbors and overnight pet sitting for family. Since I’m not currently working pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have plenty of free time and am fully available Tuesday through Saturday from 6AM to 6PM. This allows me to be flexible, whether your dog needs early morning walks, all-day care, or midday check ins. Your pet will have my undivided attention during the day. Since I offer care in the client’s home, your dog gets to stay in their own comfortable environment. I prioritize safety by double checking that doors and gates are locked, keeping a close eye outside, and sticking to their usual routine.

About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

“I had a great experience with our McKenzie! She dropped in to spend time with my puppy Barrett, and it was clear right away how comfortable and natural she is with dogs. She gave my pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care, which made a big difference in keeping him happy and stimulated while we were away. She was reliable and communicative! The best Rover experience I’ve had. I had peace of mind knowing Barrett was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her routinely again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs.”

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”

About: I work remotely, which means I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with pets while caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I've been a dog and cat owner since 2009, and while my two dogs sadly passed away a few years ago, that experience taught me a lot about routines, personalities, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I know many pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that's walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I'm used to everything from energetic zoomies to picky eaters to pets with very specific walk preferences, and I do my best to meet each pet where they are. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you're never left wondering how things are going and can relax knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medication, or simply spending quality time together. Because I work remotely, most pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, which can be especially helpful for dogs who experience separation anxiety or just enjoy having company around. I do my best to keep pets' routines as consistent as possible, since many dogs are most comfortable when their day feels familiar and predictable. Whether it's sticking to their normal walking schedule, feeding times, favorite activities, or just providing companionship, my goal is to help them feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I provide pet care in your pet's home, where many dogs and cats feel most comfortable and secure. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual schedules for walks, meals, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at ease. I make sure pets receive plenty of one-on-one attention, companionship, and care while you're away, so they're not just being watched, they're being cared for. If I'm house sitting, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on the home. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you always know how things are going. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate midday breaks, overnight stays, and longer care periods. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in the place they know best.

“Emily has been a total joy to interact with, all communication has been very easy and we feel that our cat Rajah has been spoiled with attention and love. We've really enjoyed the pictures of him she included with each visit, and we feel super grateful for her prompt arrival times, and her check-ins with us that evoke a sense of great kindness and care. We will absolutely rebook with her!”

“Grace was GREAT! She was calm when first meeting our sometime very excited and loud boy, Rocky which was very appreciated. He took to her immediately! She is very sweet and very attentive to our fur baby. We loved that she took a picture of him for us daily.”
