About: I have grown up with dogs, and have had many dogs from small ones to big ones. I learned how to train puppies, and take care of senior dogs — since I have had a few of my own! I am currently working part-time, so don’t worry about reaching out to me about when I am available. I usually respond back pretty quick unless I am at work. I am fine with any hour of the day as long as I am not working :3 I dont offer boarding unfortunately since my current living situation has roommates, and we have pets already. They are all friendly, but I don’t want to push the boundaries until we have moved into our new home.

About: Hello, I’m Jose, a proud Marine veteran who’s had pets all my life—especially dogs. I understand the importance of reliable, responsible, and compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Currently, I have three German Shepherds who keep me on my toes, and I know exactly how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dog when you’re away. With my military background, I’m highly disciplined, organized, and focused on providing the best care. Whether it’s taking your dog on a long walk, keeping them active with fetch, or simply giving them attention and cuddles, I ensure they’re always in safe hands. My experience with my own dogs has given me valuable insights into different dog behaviors, needs, and training techniques. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll provide personalized care for your pet, keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel comfortable and loved in your absence. Here’s an updated pet care experience for Rover that incorporates your work schedule: I understand how important it is to have flexibility when it comes to pet care. My work schedule is Thursday night into Sunday mornings, so I’m available to care for your pets all day Sunday through Wednesday. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medications, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs during those days. My consistent availability during the week ensures your pet receives personalized, dependable care without the stress of interruptions. You can count on me to provide the same level of reliability and care that I give my own pets, ensuring they’re well-cared-for and happy. Whether your dog or cat needs companionship, exercise, or just a peaceful place to rest, I’ve got it covered! Even for boarding, I can make it work out even when I’m not home that your pet is taken care of. Note: Right now I am off work due to an injury and won’t be back until July. So I have more availability. With three German Shepherds of my own, I know how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for pets. I treat my animals like family, and I offer the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I live in a spacious single-family home with a fenced yard, providing your pet with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether it’s a game of fetch or some free time in the yard, I ensure they have the space to stretch their legs. When it’s time to rest, I provide a peaceful, comfortable playpen where your pet can recharge for the next round of fun. Safety is my top priority. I have cameras set up throughout the house so I can monitor your pet when no one is home, ensuring they’re always safe and content. Whether they’re playing in the yard or napping in their playpen, I’ll always be able to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re well taken care of. With a reliable and loving home environment, I’ll provide the same quality care and attention to your pet as I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will feel right at home with me—safe, secure, and treated with the care they deserve.

About: **PLEASE GO TO BOTTOM FOR DETAILS ABOUT MY AVAILABILITY ** *** I HAVE BASE ACCESS*** Hello everyone! My name is Kaleigh and I cannot wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have been away from pet sitting for awhile navigating a career and mom life, but I have missed being able to meet all the fur babies! I cannot wait to start taking care of any and all fur babies trusted to my car. I am a mom to three silly boys and two fur babies. Tyke is a pittie rescue with an old soul who just wants to lay around and get ear scratches. Blue is your typical chocolate lab, always hungry and always hyper! I have a fenced in back yard with shade and sunshine and tons of trails near by for exercise. I am more than happy to handle meds or special diets as Tyke has medical needs of his own. I have several vet professionals as friends and have an abundance of resources to handle any possible situation that may arise. Pups are welcome to join us anywhere in the house or lounge where they are comfy. The house 100% dog safe with anything that could cause harm put up and away. I’m a firm believer that pets are angels on earth and I have made it my goal in life to love on and spoil as many as I can! We can’t wait to meet you! If you send a request between the hours of 10:00pm to 7:00am, I will respond at or around 7:00. **if you ever have an emergency and need to go out of town, I understand things happen and will do my absolute best to accommodate your need to include extended stays! AVAILABILITY I do work full-time on Quantico. Typically Monday through Friday I am only available for drop ins and dog walks after work. However, if I can make an accommodation and adjust my schedule depending on your needs, I am more than happy to do that during my work. Visits midday Monday through Friday would be limited to 30 minutes. I am more than happy to see if we can work out and accommodation and I can make an adjustment to make sure that your pet is comfortable and your pet needs are met. I work full time on quantico so I am close by my home and able to get home quickly if needed. On weekends I stay local and try to stay home as much as possible. Typically, I will only be available after work Monday through Friday. However, I am more than happy to work with you and adjust my schedule if possible to make sure that your pet care needs are taken care of. This will be on a case by case basis, but I am more than happy to do the best I can. I have a fenced in yard and security cameras to maintain constant supervision of your pups. My family also enjoys outside time so almost anytime your pup is outside, so are we.

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 16 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

About: My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel like they’re in loving hands . I’ve been around dogs and cats most of my childhood well into adulthood and I can honestly say I truly love interacting with and caring for them. I currently work , but my schedule is pretty flexible and why not fill it with doing something I can enjoy doing? Loving for and caring on fur babies. I would follow whatever structure you currently have with your pet , it seems that usually is the most efficient . Again your fur babies would be in the greatest care with me.

Fantastic carer! Ashley handles our “spicy” puppy and sweet senior doggo with equal patience and care. Our puppy comes back happy and tired, and or older dog is treated so gently. Great communication with updates and photos, and total peace of mind for us. Reliable, kind, and clearly amazing with dogs of all ages—highly recommend!
