About: I am currently a part-time dog daycare attendant. I am a cat mom to two sweet, kind, loving boys, Sam and Dan. As well as a pet sitter for friends and family. Pet care is a part of my daily life. Both work and home have a routine, love, care for, play and help the pets live their best lives. Caring for pets is totally what the clients wish. People care for their fur babies in different ways. My job is to keep their pets safe and happy in the client's absence.
About: I am well rounded with a background with diverse animals. I have had a rabbit for ten years and have taken care of dogs, birds, and other rabbits. I have also had a lot of farm animal experience as well. I have currently decided to step away from my full-time job so I have plenty of open availability. I currently have a part-time summer job that is very flexible allowing me to be open. I am available to do any pet-related work with respect and care to the owner! I treat all animals as if they are my own and how I would want my animals to be cared for.
“Second time having Natalie come and check on my cat while I was out of town. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of my cat and giving her the medications that she needs. Her attention to detail and caring attitude make going on a trip worry free.”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life of different types and sizes, now I raise a mini Bernedoodle. I have taken multiple puppy training courses which I could apply to any age dog. I work in law enforcement. My schedule is flexible due to my job and I will update my availability ASAP according to my work schedule. I spoil my dog and will do the same for any that come into my home. No human food is my big rule. My Mini-Bernedoodle is just over one year now and raising her has been very rewarding. I have taken multiple training courses on training young dogs but could apply these concepts to any age dog. I have a good size yard which I am able to walk my dog around when she goes to the bathroom. My yard is 3/4 fenced in and my neighbor doesn’t have any pets.
About: I grew up on a farm in Florida, so I’ve been around a variety of animals. Currently I work at a doggy daycare and I am a foster home for dogs as well. I also have two of my own. Aside from working at the doggy daycare, I am also in school! I go to ECC for radiation therapy. I am usually available weekends to fully care for your animal! During the week I do work and I will be gone during the day, but I am happy to still care for your pet as long as you are comfortable with it. I have a pretty large fenced in yard and another very friendly dog as well. She loves to play and but is respectful if your pet does not. She takes social cues from other dogs well. I also have a large crate if necessary
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since the age of 12. I have dog sat for many relatives, and I take extremely good care of my beagle! I have plenty of free time as I recently graduated college and most of my grad school classes will be online, I also love going on walks, and would love for a furry friend to join me! My full focus is on the safety of the dog. They are like my babies. I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy and healthy.
About: Open to care for any friendly dogs while you're away! Relatively young (22), and thus have energy to play with them a bit more than older sitters. I'm currently looking for jobs so I will have an open schedule for the foreseeable future in terms of pet care. Would prefer afternoons and weekends, however. Care for dog at my own home by resting next to her whenever I am free and she is willing, as well as giving her walks. I will do the same for any clients' pets, of course varying on the animals' personality/lifestyle.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life as i grew up with them. I’ve taken care of all different age range dogs. I have experience with multiple breeds of dogs also. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed, love, cuddle. I also walk outside everyday as part of my routine so that would be no issue! I have an overly friendly pup, and two curious cats. I have no problem with free roam animals, or crated animals, anything to keep you and your animal comfortable during your time apart.

Joshua M.
“Joshua is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. He absolutely loves our family dog, Cassie. Cassie is an 11 year old fox yorkshire terrier mix that we have had her since she was 4 months old. Joshua takes Cassie for walks, makes sure has has fresh food and water, gives her treats, plays with her and loves her endlessly. You will usually see the two of them sitting together on the couch. Joshua is also very loving to other family dog and cat pets. They really put a smile on his face! He would be a wonderful addition to the Rover family.”

“Natalee was responsible for taking care of my kitten while I went across country for two weeks. During that time, she continuously reassured us through frequent updates and pictures. My little kitty bonded with her in the matter of a day, and I knew I’d have to have her back. Thank you for your excellent service to a happy client.”
