About: I'm very good at training dogs. I have a lot of patience with dogs. I talk dog. Dogs like me and I like them. I like walking dogs as my exercise. I have had and trained many dogs since I was twenty. I care about your dog as much as you. I have two dogs and one of the most important things when I travel is who will take care of my dogs. I want someone who loves them as much as I do and that's what will happen with your dog when it stays with me, lots of love and attention. I feed them on regular schedules and take them for walks on a regular schedule also. I will make sure that they have played, peed, pooped and have plenty of water. I’m available for time to watch dogs. I just moved to the area and I’m working at home and if that changes I’ll let you know but for the most part I can watch dogs 24 seven I don’t have dogs right now, so I do Rover to get my dog to fix. Any size dog is fine I have 8 acres for them to play and if you have a water dog I have a low creek to play in

About: Hello, I have 10 years of experience, I recently was a manager at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable with all breed types 😊 I also am very comfortable with giving medications of all kinds if needed. I have 2 furry babies myself and can’t wait to make more furry friends🐾🩵 I have a pretty open schedule, very flexible to work with what you need to give the best pet care 😄, also available on all holidays I have a huge front and back yard & 2 furry friends to keep your dog company! 😊 I also have a fenced area for some off leash time!

“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”


About: When I was a kid I dreamed of getting a dog, but my brother's allergies meant that was out of the question. My solution to this was volunteering to walk my friends' dogs or offering to pet sit whenever I could. I put up flyers in my busy apartment building and started getting some steady clients, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work on an animal sanctuary that specialized in caring for animals with behavioral and special needs. I was really able to expand on my skills and put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet! Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. Right now my work schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out to see if I'm available. I'll follow whatever routines you usually do at home to try and make your fur babies feel at ease. However you typically care for them is how I will try my best to go about it.

“Colleen is excellent. She took great care of my puppy. She noticed a sore/ hotspot and arranged for us to get in to see her vet the same day and even volunteered to take him if my schedule didn’t allow.”


About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm. A half hour lunch long lunch where I can leave to care for your furries in the middle of the day depending on the distance. Dogs will be crated when I’m not home. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me! I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets.

I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property.

Jessica M.

“Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.”

Michelle M.
“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”


Adriana M.
“Adriana is dog enthusiast skilled in basic obedience training. She is a life long dog lover with experience providing care for various breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments. Adriana currently has 2 dogs and 2 cats and has cared for extended family pets. I recommend Adriana for anyone searching for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for your furry companions.”

“I have kept dogs for almost 13 years now and Tess is always my first call if I require a sitter. I have known her most of my life and I trust her completely with my animals. She closely minds how I prefer them to be handled and there is never any doubt they will be safe and happy when I leave them with her. She is not only responsible and knowledgeable but also has an energy dogs seem to enjoy and be drawn to. They even often return to me having learned a fun new trick.
