About: Hi I’m a college student who loves animals and especially dogs. I grew up with dogs and I actually have my own pup named Shelby! She is a gorgeous mixed who I adopted from the pound. We love to spend time playing and training together! It helps keep us both stimulated ☺️. Me and my cat Greyson love to cuddle and he loves to play tag with his sister sometimes! I have been pet sitting since the age 10 and I have dealt with small , big, young and the old dogs. I’m able to make connections with any type of dog. I have dealt with dogs with special diets and needs. I love all dogs equally and would love to get to know your babies each. I do have doggy treats and toys but I would love to have any future friends bring their own. I also have experience working for a doggie day camp named pet paradise where I was taught and trained to understand dog and cat behavior so trust that your furry friends are in the best care! I currently have an open schedule and am home most days so I have complete flexibility to spend time and play with your furry friends! I have a one active friendly dog who loves to play and chase so if you are comfortable she is looking for a play date! I love to go on long walks and trips for treats! For my cats it depends on there comfortable level but for mines we do tons of chase play and cuddles!
“Megan stayed overnight with my two older dogs, one who is very nervous around new people. She was very patient when she met Maggie and it did not take long for her to calm down. The dogs were happy and my home was clean and tidy when I got home. Megan was very professional and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Melissa was amazing! She took such great care of our pets & looked after the house while we were on vacation. She gave me great peace of mind and sent detailed reports with pictures everyday. Highly recommend!”

“Anna was great! She communicated above and beyond what we expected and sent tons of pictures. We were able to rest assured our animals were in good hands and being looked after with great care. I would definitely recommend Anna and will definitely look to use her again in the future!”

“The perfect dog sitter for my family! I booked her for house-sitting in my home for my 2 dogs while I went on my holiday trip. My dogs are nervous when meeting new people but she was so calm and friendly that they quickly grew comfortable her. She sent pictures of them every day and I felt confident that she took great care of them while I was away. She was also super flexible with my schedule and was able to come watch them with just a few hours notice! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, like most people. However, I have learned to be patient with them yet stern. I used to pet sit all over my neighborhood because they all knew me as the dog whisperer. I take care of their needs while their owners are busy with work or are enjoying a much needed vacation. During the summer I do not work since I am a teacher and I know many families like to go out of town to enjoy their time. That is why I do not mind opening my time and home to other pets so the owners do not have to worry about their pets while they are away. I have a fenced in yard that dogs can run around in. There is even a dog park a mile from my house if the owner wants them to have more freedom. If for some reason, other pets do not get along with my cat, I have plenty of bedrooms and I would rotate the animals being able to roam the house.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, whether that being pets growing up or my dad taking me to the farm. I’ve been working at Cindy Lou’s Do’s for 3+ years now and I do weekend boarding every weekend for dogs, cats and even pigs every so blue moon. My compassionate and fun personality will ensure the best care for your pet. I work part time at 2 jobs currently and i’m a college student but im always home and have breaks in between classes and things. my work schedule during the week is either 7am-12pm or 12pm-5pm. On weekends I also do dog boarding and the times I go in to walk and check on the dogs are 8,12 and 5 so most weekends i’m free to stay for boarding as long as i’m able to leave in between. I live in a gated neighborhood with one dog and 3 cats occasionally when the one outside wants to come in. They are all friendly and get along well with other pets. Pets to me are like children and need to be watched at all times and basically coddled, that is no problem for me whatsoever. quite frankly i enjoy it.

About: I babysat my brothers puppies for a while and house sat. They were a Australian shepherd and a husky. My parents have a chihuahua mix that I helped take care of. I currently have a Keeshond that I rescued that lives with my partner. The black dog is the puppy my mom and I took in over the winter break and found her a loving home I am available everyday during the week but not available on weekends. If weekends are needed contact me and I can try to make something work. My apartment has a yard for dogs to wonder and be free.

About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and 15+ years caring for my own animals, I treat every pet like family. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, your way, ensuring your pet feels loved and safe while in my care! My open weekly schedule is a little bit tricky due to me working full-time about 20 minutes away. My availability on those days would only be to the pets who don’t need to be let out side for about an eight hour period until I got home. Otherwise, my weekend schedule is fully open and I can be home all day to let any pets outside that I would need to. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and walks—with help from my two kids (ages 9 and 11) to keep them company. Pets are welcome on my furniture! In your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and tailor care to your pet’s needs in any way you request.

I love to make sure your pet is still on there normal routine if they have one, so always let me know any specific instructions.
“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”
