About: I used to work at an animal shelter as a canine caregiver, where I worked with dogs of all different breeds, ages, sizes and backgrounds. I am currently a college student with a lot of free time and would love to spend that time doing what I love, working with dogs. I try to stay at the client’s home where the animal is the most comfortable. The client would normally show me their routine with the animal and I would try my best to follow as closely as possible during my time there.
About: With 3+ years of professional experience working with animals, as well as 26 years of being surrounded by hundreds of pets of my own, my goal is to create the best, most memorable time for your animal friends. I treat every animal as if it's one of my own. From dogs to cats, rodents to reptiles, ducks to goats, and from newborn to senior, sick or in good health, I have cared for and nurtured just about any domesticated animal throughout all stages of life and am here to make sure that, no matter what, each and every animal is as happy as can be, because they deserve it. Four years ago, I lost my dog, Sugar, who I had since I was nine years old. We grew up together, and she meant everything to me. I've been trying to figure out how to fill that void ever since she left, but it's been tough man. Then I came across Rover. Now, I get to spend time with everyone else's dogs, and I see Sugar in every single one of them, which makes me want to give them the time of their lives. I appreciate everyone letting me watch after their pets. Most people do this for money; I do it, genuinely, because I love animals. Not just dogs, not just cats, but everything else in between. I've worked on farms and at pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats and rabbits, and even bred rodents for years - not to sell, but rather, just to care for and love. So this definitely is not limited to just canine and feline friends. I will care for any kind of animal. I have experience with them all. I work as a supervisor on 3rd shift right across the street from my house at a pet food manufacturing plant, making it super easy to take great care of your pet even throughout the night. I am home all day from 8am until 10pm, so there is really not much time ever where I won't be able to give your pet the care that it needs! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run outside freely and plenty of room inside as well for a dog or cat or any other animal to roam about and go wherever their little heart desires. I have a young indoor cat who is very friendly and playful, a senior cat who stays in hiding, as well as two pet ducks that roam the yard who love friends. They have an enclosure of their own to lock them in if you are unsure of how your pet may react to ducks.
About: I offer complete pet-sitting services for a diverse range of animals, including dogs (experience with reactive dogs), chickens, guinea pigs, and other farm animals. I provide personalized care, ensuring each pet's specific needs are met, from tailored exercise and feeding routines to specialized attention for reactive dogs. My goal is to create a comfortable and secure environment where your animals thrive while you're away, giving you peace of mind. I work 3rd shift 11pm- 7:30am most nights. I can board animals in my home during these hours but they will be confined to crates or rooms inside. On my days off (2-3 per week) I can make more accommodations I can take care of your pets as directed by you, with several years of personal training, and experience handling nervous and reactive dogs. I have a spare room they can stay in that’s separate from other pets if need be.
About: I have trained and raised all 6 of my dogs. I am very knowledgeable about many different kinds of animals and the care they need. I also know that pet care isn’t always cheap. My prices are not hard set, please feel free to discuss with me if you might have trouble affording care. I am available most days before 8:30am and after 2:00. Some weekends i will be out of town for dog shows with my own pets. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule:) I have many dogs of my own who I would protect with my life, and it's the same with your baby! Their care and wellbeing is extremely important to me, and they will be my number one priority while in my care.
About: Your crazy dog stories could never top mine! Dog mom of over 15 years. Currently have a 3 yr old high energy dog. Comfortable caring for any animal of any age. I love all fur babies like my own! I am currently working full-time at night, 5 nights a week. Available mostly any day prior to 3:30pm. Overnights wouldn’t be possible, but could check on your pups before & after work! I am very well versed with all doggy situations. My current situation is not ideal for a dog to come to my home, but checking on yours in their “safe” environment works best!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets since the age of 13. I have worked with all ages from young and untrained to senior animals with special needs. I am a trusted animal care employee for many families in my home town. I am a current college student with a lot of time on my hands! I only have classes Monday-Thursday for a few hours between 11-2. I have a fenced in yard in the back of my house that is well taken care of. There are no other dogs or cats in the house. I love taking animals on walks and playing around with them. They will have my full attention. Whatever service or care you maintain in your home will be respected in my home and in my care.
About: I have had many years of experience taking care of multiple cats and a couple of dogs. I love brushing and doing basic grooming maintenance on animals, and I have a little bit of experience administrating medication. I’m currently working full-time, but I am available to pet-sit and walk dogs during most weekends! I am looking for a more long-term set schedule on the weekends. I have several roommates who would love if your dog stopped by to give belly rubs and affection! I am happy to take your dog on fun walks at local parks and around the neighborhood.

Shai L.
“Shai started handling my Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Quinn, a little over a year ago for shows. She does so well with Quinn that I have sent Quinn with her to weekend shows. I would never send any of my dogs with anyone that I don't completely trust, so that alone is huge. I can't say enough positive things about Shai.”

She is very attentive to them, especially to their need for some extra love when they are missing us. She always does exactly what tasks are requested and is always on time. Lauren is definitely someone I can count on for my dog care needs.”
