Rachel was great with my two dogs, especially my more timid puppy, Freya, who always takes a minute to warm up to strangers. Rachel is a great communicator and a fellow dog lover that I would highly recommend!

Breanna is an excellent Dog walker. She has taken such good care of our dog. Archie loved her. She was attentive to Archie and even played with him for a few minutes after a couple of his walks because of the weather. She filled up his water when he was out too. We will definitely be booking her again.

About: Hi! I go by Kat and since I was ten I've been around animals, from living on a farm with three Great Pyrenees, four Australian Shephards, two Pugs, and two chihuahuas and numerous litters and a cat rescue of twenty-six cats to my current situation of three dogs and six cats. I have also owned rats, mice, rabbits, and a gecko, so I have experience with all sorts of pets. Aside from what I own, I have cared for cockatiels, doves,geckos, a lorikeet, great danes, and pittbulls. I also worked at a vet office for a year before I started college, and seven months at a cat hospital in Maine. Currently I'm unemployed but am looking for a night shift part time job! I work part time nights only and am available all weekend, Friday through Sunday, full time, so I will have plenty of time to ensure your pets will be well cared for! I am very flexible with how to care for pets, from crate training to leashed walks or free roaming. My animals are a mixture of them all, crate trained when guests are over and free-roaming during the day when I'm outside with them.

About: I have been helping to take care of animals of all kinds since I got my first dog at 5 years old. Now 21, I have over 15 years of animal care experience by helping the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I have my Girl Scout Bronze Award for setting up a pet fair that helped raise awareness and funds for local organizations that benefit animals. I am accustomed to training new pets and ensuring that senior pets get the best care they need. I can walk, feed, play, and do anything you may need to ensure that your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I am currently working part time, which entails that I have a very flexible schedule and am able to make anything work. I am willing to sit at my own residence and yours. I also have experience with house sitting. I am so excited to get to work caring for your furry friends! My schedule is very flexible which means I have plenty of time to spare on making sure your pets are okay and taken care of. I do work mostly in the evenings, only about 2-3 days a week but am never there past 8pm. I am essentially open from morning until evening nearly all day every day. My backyard is fenced off and has two levels ensuring that your pets have plenty of room to run and play! I also have a dog of my own to make sure your pet has someone to play with. My house is very secure and has lots of friendly neighbors with their own pets who would love to play and meet yours. I also live with 3 other people, which means your dog is never left unsupervised for too long.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for and walking my own pets as well as helping friends and family with theirs. I have had the privilege of taking care of my own pets since I was just about 5 years old. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I understand the importance of patience. I have a full time job as a caregiver, but I work doubles, so that I have more days off. I’d love to spend my days off taking care of your fur babies! I work mostly second shifts on the days I do not work doubles. I’m available in most mornings other than Tuesdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions (if applicable), walking routines, and house rules provided by the owner. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while maintaining a safe and secure environment. I always double check doors, leashes, and gates for safety. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly space. I ensure pets have supervised time, regular potty breaks, fresh water at all times, and structured walks or playtime based on their energy level. I monitor interactions closely and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations.

About: CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” Let your dog have a happy stay while your away! I am passionate about animals and want your animal to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here for there stay. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ). I want to make a place you know when there here there family! In the event they do not fancy my pups there is no need to worry I have accommodations for this too! Please give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. I know how special your pet is to you as mine are my baby’s and I want to have a place for you to feel they are getting the care they deserve! I am home at all times so your pet is never left alone. Get up at 6am potty and feed. There is a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please for most of the day but I close this at night for there security. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with mine and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and my dogs won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. There’s couches for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Ow if they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.

About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.

About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.
