About: Hi there, I am new to Rover but all my life I have loved and cared for animals. I got my first kitten when I was five and in my adult life expanded that love and care to dogs. I currently do not have one of my own but I am a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter. Throughout my adult life I have had wonderful neighbors with whom we have traded dog walking and overnight care with while traveling. Now that I am newly retired I am looking to expand my time and attention to pet parents living in Annandale and Clinton. I am available to drop in, walk and play with your best friend in your neighborhood, and I can stay overnight while you are out of town to keep your dog safe and secure in their known environment. I am also happy to assist with simple chores in your home such as taking care of plants, retrieving mail and any other small but important tasks. I am also willing to board dogs and cats in my home if that is more convenient for pet parents. I am newly retired so have a fairly flexible schedule. I do stay engaged with other activities and travel, so scheduling in advance is very important to me so that when I do schedule care for a pet I want to be sure I have the time to give them the full love and attention they deserve. I am very active for my age in that I run, swim, bike and play pickleball for exercise. Rest assured I am fit enough to handle any dog on a leash. The shelter I volunteer at I deal with a variety of dog personalities and energy levels and adjust accordingly. If you are looking for a pet sitter in your home I can remain in your home for the duration, or if you are just looking for someone to stay overnight with your pet that works too. I am here to accommodate pet parents with whatever accommodations they and their pet are comfortable with. I live on a cul-de-sac with only three other homes on our street. We have a natural, wild area partially in the back and to the side of our home so there is plenty of open space. I have walked many miles throughout my friendly neighborhood streets walking my previous dogs and my neighbor's dog. While in a client's home I am willing to adhere to any schedule the pet parents desire. I am very conscientious of physical security of my property and that of others.

“Ryan was fantastic! He watched my two energetic dogs, a golden retriever and a flat-coat retriever mix, for over a week. He was in contact with me during the time, even checking in when my golden was chewing on her feet and asking what needed to be done. When I got home, my dogs were happy and relaxed, and I knew they had a great time while I was away! He even worked with my one dog to stop jumping on us all the time, and that was a great surprise. I will definitely ask him to watch my dogs again and would recommend him highly.”

“Sarah stayed with our dog Molly for 2 days and nights. She did an awesome job! We could see from all the pictures and updates that Molly was well cared for. Would highly recommend Sarah!”

About: I have had experience with animals all my life, my mother is a service dog trainer and fostered many puppies while I was growing up. Later on we owned a hobby farm and I learned the care and work that goes into it. I have been through school and animal science programs, working with animals as a practice groomer. Now I work with all shapes and sizes of dogs as a veterinary assistant. I am working part time at a veterinary clinic and would like some additional work on the side. I love animals and working with them! I am good at adapting to new environments and new approaches when it comes to animals, especially ones that need some extra time and patience

About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I’m a proud mom to a 20-year-old cat and an aunt to many other beloved pets. I love going on long walks, so let me know if your pet would enjoy coming along! I work from home and make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I like to take long walks in the evenings and would love some company! I have a 20 year old kitten named Wilbur who is the sweetest. I understand that pets are more than just pets, they’re part of the family, and deserve to be treated as a family member. I also understand the importance of being reassured your baby is loved and well taken care of in your absence and will follow all provided instructions and guidance.

“Lisa is attentive and genuinely loves working with animals. We sent her instructions ahead of time and she had very clearly read through everything and had thoughtful questions. We would definitely like to work with her again!”

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

“Rachel was awesome! She watched our dog during the evening while he was sick and took good care of him. She was communicative and flexible and we would absolutely have her back again!”

About: Hi! I have always had such a passion for caring and providing love for all animals! I have pet sit and walked numerous dogs for friends and Family. I'd be happy to send references if asked for or chat on the phone or even schedule a time to meet your adorable pet(s) before booking! I adopted my very own first pup about 3 years ago and he is the light of my life. I attended an Animal Science Polytechnic Program for two years and graduated. This allowed me to attain knowledge such as how to read and understand animal behavior, illnesses, administer medication and more. Caring for pets in a clients home is of the upmost importance to me. Any guidelines for caring for your pets will be followed and taken extremely seriously as I know our pets are our babies! I am attending Stockton University part- time this semester so my availability is very open! Every week day is open for me to be able to care for your pet(s) I know how extremely important it is to maintain the routine, special guidelines and anything else a pet or pets will require as every animal is different. I do not offer pet stays at my own home but I do offer pet sitting at the pets home!

“My pups loved having Gina stay with them. She sends many photos & videos (which I love) and gives them all lots of snuggles. I have a rowdy crew and she was a gem!”

About: I have loved every dog like its my own and cant wait to prove that to you! I love to send as many pictures and updates when I can as well as keep the home in cleaner than how I left it! I am a college student so my schedule its complex but not filled! I have alot of free time especially on the weekends and I have alot of free time during the afternoons on weekdays! I always like to make sure I know the puppers lifestyle before working with them so I can prepare accordingly in my schedule to get them the attention that they need as well giving way too many cuddles and hugs! I like to make sure I can see the pupper as leads every 5 hours or sooner to make sure they are comfortable and plan accordingly to give them the undivided attention they all deserve

“Ethan has been such an amazing sitter for our pup. He's reliable, trustworthy, and always accommodating. He's there to help us whenever he can & is always super responsive. It's hard to find people to depend on, but Ethan is one of them! We're so thankful for him & would highly recommend his services to others.”

About: I have been around pets since I was a child and have had my own dog for 6 years and a cat for 2.5 years now. I got my dog as a puppy, so I am more than willing to work with pets of any age. I recently finished my second masters degree and work full time in healthcare 3 days/week but can provide care before work, after work, and on my days off. Having 4 days/week off is great and allows me flexibility with my schedule. I love allowing pets to be part of the family, adventure outside often, and allow walks to be the dogs walk and not my walk.

“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”
