About: I've had dogs since I was born and have been caring for them since I was a 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to pet sit and pop-in to care for their dogs since I was 15. I've cared for puppies, adults, disabled, injured, seniors, small, medium, and large dogs. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, cleaning, and administering medications. I like to say I go above and beyond for dogs. I am home for the summer with a summer camp job and ready to take care of your pets! My schedule is a part time job in the morning and this is my last week! I will be leaving the area the week of August 11th to go back to school. thanks for a great summer! I have two dogs and three cat of my own! My dogs get multiple daily walks and are partially crate trained. I am well adversed in many different pet parent styles. Crate trained, open roam, outdoor, no yard, fenced in yard, etc. I got you covered! I specialize in high energy dogs needing lots of exercise!

About: Hi! I’m Kaitlyn! I love animals. I have one cat and used to have piggies! I absolutely love taking care of fur babies. I would love to take care of yours too!! I normally don’t accept boarding at my house, since my cats aren’t really fond of dogs. But I’d be more than welcome to stay at your house if that makes you feel comfortable! I’ve been caring for Animals for quite a long time. I’m always available and can always be your sitter whenever you need me! Feel free to message me! I am free weekdays and some weekends. I also have a 4 year old i would have to bring with me Wednesday thru Friday if okay. I have a fenced in yard and can crate animals if needed! Also have experience giving medicine as well! I love cuddles and play time!

“A great person to look after your dogs! We have two rescues that can get scared easily, but she did a wonderful job getting them comfortable.”

I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.

About: I grew up in a household with seven pets and animals were always my first love. My father worked in animal control, and I have volunteered at an animal shelter for the past 5 years. I have a ton of experience with dogs and cats, especially young puppies. I have experience giving a variety of medications, and gave physical therapy to a kitten I fostered with a broken leg. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals! I do have two kids and volunteer at an animal shelter which keeps me busy! But I am available most days to come help watch or walk your pup! I have a large fenced in yard, as well as an energetic one year old puppy to help entertain and keep company. I have a ton of toys and chews as well as medium and x-large dog crates if needed.

I care for other peoples pets the same way I care for my own! In a clean, comfortable and safe environment— pets deserve to be granted the best care they can!

About: Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. My shifts are typically 6 hours or less, and I only work up to 3 days a week. I do sometimes have other commitments that are unlikely to take more than 4 hours at a time. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and an 11/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me.

About: I’ve always had animals in my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I have some experience in puppy training as well! I am available most Sundays from 10 to 6. Mondays I am also available 10 to 6. Tuesday through Friday I’m available nights after 6! I have a fenced in yard at my home! I have ample time to spend with your pet and am able to give my full attention. Whether at my home or yours!

About: I have been taking care of and loving on pets for 10+ years. I have several fur babies of my own, so I certainly understand the importance of having someone take care of your pets who will love them just as much as you do! I have experience with caring for pets for most of my life, but most recently, I have been doing drop in visits to feed and take care of family pets, as well as some pet sitting for friends who are out of town. I am also familiar with dealing with anxious dogs as both of my boys have some pretty serious storm anxiety. I do currently work full time, however, I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to drop in and take your fur babies for walks, or just check in and spend some time providing snuggles throughout the day. I am free on weekends as well for house-sitting, overnight care, etc. I believe your pets should be taken care of exactly the way they would be if you were home! Whether that means sleeping in the bed, walks 3x a day, or a strict schedule, I will always follow your established regimen to the absolute best of my ability. There is nothing more important than making sure your pet feels as comfortable in their routines and home as possible when mom and dad are away.

My goal is to make sure your pet stays safe and enjoys their time spent with me. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I will be happy to chat with you.

About: Neighbors, friends and family have always trusted me to care for , play with and stop by to feed/ take out their dogs when they were out of town. I love all animals, especially dogs . I think this would be a great opportunity to learn more about different breeds! I work Tuesday-Saturday 9-5, I would be able to let them out to potty before work, after work and if needed before bedtime. I have open availability on weekends , for any parents wanting to take a weekend trip or a night out or have afternoon work shifts. We can work things out ! I have hardwood flooring and open space for them to run around. Along with this , I have two dachshunds that would keep your pet occupied and have some playmates.

“Rebecca was great! Buzz loved her and you could tell he had a good time walking with her. She came inside and met my other dog, who is sometimes hard to get along with. He took very well to her as well! We will definitely be using her for sitter services in the future. Thanks Rebecca!”
