About: 24/7 live-in pet care in the pet owners home can make a big difference for a pets transition to someone new during a pet owners absence. The on-going company allows pets to be more at peace with the change. I'm a kind hearted women with NO take-a-long pets/visitors! Dependable retired non-smoker/drinker - my home or yours I enjoy my quite time. My 2nd pet sitting platform has 16 - 5 Star Reviews! I also have the highest security clearance on both sites. Prior business owner of 20 years, I'm a well organized person and your home will be kept in order each day. I leave you with the reassurance that you have hired someone that is trustworthy! My goal is that you can relax on Holiday or a work related trip - knowing with confidence that your pets and home are well cared for. Returning pet sitter to Rover. I'm retired now - the calendar is open! I'm available 24/7 and take same day appointments with a prior meet and greet. Cleanliness of a home is priority to the positions I take on. Mutual respect one to another - think guest in your home, not a hired hand! Pets like routine and I support the routines a pet owner has established for the pets they dearly love. Be that bathroom break times, food choices, and rooms that the dog knows... don't even think about it... that's a new sofa... Lol!

About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in Reactive Aggressive Dogs. I made it my mission to find the solution for my dear dog, and as a result, now have an extensive "toolbox" of training techniques. The main tools are love and treats. Dogs love to please, and I love to help on that path to happiness. I am the owner of a dog Facebook group with 55,000 members as of the time of writing this bio. My husband and I both work from home and have years of experience with pets. We want you and your pet to feel like a stay with us is like a family camp. We are very capable dog walkers and caregivers. We provide regular photo updates, and you can inquire at any time. We can provide great flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Since we are self-employed and work from home, we set our own schedule. We take numerous breaks from our work to give belly rubs, throw balls, take walks, teach tricks, treat and feed, and provide numerous photos, among other things. You can inquire at any time. We can provide great flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. We have almost a half-acre of mostly flat, open grass lawn that is fenced with 6-foot pickets. Inside, the layout of our home allows us to provide 3 spacious, separate areas to keep the dogs separated when needed. We own one dog that will help nanny the others for us. Our cat is now an outdoor cat most of the time.

About: I used to have a boxer/mastiff mix, sadly he had passed a few years ago. Now I watch family and friends dogs when they go on vacation. This includes taking dogs on walks, feeding, brushing, applying medicine on wounds from foxtails and mixing medicine with food. More basic needs and follow instructions. I work four days a week and have long weekends where I can dog sit. I offer more basic things like playing fetch, feed, water, let them out multiple times a day, take for walks, or giving pets. Please provide a detail list on pet needs and concerns (e.g. allergies or sensitives) and I will follow the instructions provided. I will communicate and provide photos of any thing I find concerning.
