Nina was amazing! She took my two dogs outside and made sure that they both went potty and then fed them dinner. She communicated with me and I felt really comfortable with her taking care of my dogs! I would definitely have her take care of my dogs again.

About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple rescue animals, so I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. I currently have two dogs, one is a rescue and two rescue cats, which has given me experience working with anxious pets, building trust, and recognizing behavioral needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also have experience caring for seniors and individuals with special needs, which has made me very patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering extra care and attention when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life! Between two dogs and two cats, my pets keep me busy! I’m very accustomed to building my daily schedule around animals. I am currently home for the summer and available at all times of the day to provide attention and care! In caring for pets, I deeply value maintaining their regular routine to the greatest extent possible. Ensuring pets have feelings of familiarity and comfort is super important to me in providing an environment that feels safe and trustworthy for all furbabies!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life. I’m originally from Montana, where dogs have always been a big part of my life. While I don’t have formal professional experience, I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping them active, safe, and well cared for, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m a business owner and work from home, so I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. That means your dog will have plenty of attention, regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m happy to adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule and needs. I provide a calm, comfortable, and attentive home environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Since I work from home, they’ll have plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I keep the space clean and secure and can easily accommodate your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and downtime.

Sarah was amazing! She was great at communicating with me about how her time with Oreo was going and responded very well to a couple of unexpected situations that happened during my time away from home. I will definitely be asking her to help pet sit again!

Kalani is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative and great with our pups. She is really wonderful with our higher-maintenance dog who is a runner and quite a barker. She is patient with him and takes great care to make sure he’s safe and secure. Best of all, we never have to worry about our pups on the days she’s scheduled to walk them. We’re so grateful! Thank you, Kalani!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) and have had several dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a dog. I’ve also spent time learning about dog training and behavior, which has helped me better understand how dogs communicate, learn, and respond to their environment. I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and adjusting my approach to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after work and on weekends to assist with your canine companions. I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care and give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’ll work with your schedule and do my best to make things convenient and stress-free for both you and your dog! I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog at home who loves to play and make new friends! Your dog will have a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of attention. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours, I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I have a genuine love and care for different animals. When time permits itself, I do want to open up a nonprofit for animals who have been abandoned. I care for all animals not just dogs and cats 💕 I currently work on an intermittent schedule, which causes me to travel at the last minute. Sometimes I am gone from a few weeks to a few months, with little to no notice. I care for everyone’s animals as if they were my very own. From puppies/kittens to senior animals. If your animal is in need of medication and special treatment, I am definitely able and capable of administering medication CPR, etc. I look forward to meeting my new furry friends. 🐶 🐈‍⬛ 🐦 🐖 I currently can take care of other pets after I get off work and on the weekends, I do however take my dog out several times a day for potty breaks and walks and give her treats when she does a good job I make sure that I clean up after them if they have accidents and I also make sure that they are on a leash at all times and I will feed. I feed the animals on a twice a day schedule however whatever the client likes to do I will honor that.

What a good thing to be able to trust someone with your dog and with Tiffany I felt it 100%. She was communicative- sending lots of updates and photos. From the photos it’s evident how happy my Nera was with being cared for and walked by Tiffany. Would rebook without hesitation.

Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!

About: Hi! i’m Madeleine and I am 19 years old. I have always loved animals! Your pets will always be my #1 priority. I have grown up taking care of animals my whole life, including two dogs, cats, horses and ducks. I adopted a senior dog with my family 6 months ago, which makes three dogs in our home, all whom are sweet and fun loving.

In addition, I can always send fun check in photos of how your pet is doing! I have classes for my the university I attend Monday-Friday, however they are very spread out and I am available to come to your home in between classes and overnight if needed. The dogs in my house back home are all very well trained and often explore our fenced property. I usually love to take them on hikes and walks nearby on leash.
