About: I grew up in a multi-animal household which included a range of small to large dogs that have made a mark in my life. I’ve even cared for friends and family’s dogs that ranged from full time puppy duty to even taking the time to smell the roses when it comes to the seniors who need a little extra time on their walk. At the moment I have stepped away from bartending and needing a rest for myself; so in the meantime I am available with an open schedule to help those in need for some pet care. *I understand my prices are little high, this is due to Rover only gives 80% to the sitter/handler, I am willing to negotiate prices via over a different payment option due their payout, I do work with anyone and everyone!* I currently live in a household where I personally cannot have animals (I live at my FIL’s house and he is strict about animals) with that being said I am able to house sit/board in your home due to this minor inconvenience; none the less your pet wouldn’t be neglected at any point, and the trust and safety will always be there. I house sit for regular of mine (his kitty Meowy) and when I’m there I’m ensure to follow instructions that are given, keeping her area tidy and clean, I feed on the schedule that has been implemented in your own household, etc. when it comes to dogs, I do the same along with plenty of playtime, potty breaks and walkies that are needed for your animal to keep thriving even when you are not home!

About: Hi, I’m a 26 year old dog mom with an extreme passion for animals. I have years of experience in the field, including animal ER hospitals and clinics both wildlife and domestic, as well as dog/cat daycare and boarding at Pet Paradise. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology 🧪 with a pre-professional concentration in animal sciences and will be pursuing vet school in the near future. I have experience in caring for animals with specific needs, and am able to administer most medications if necessary due to my years of on hands experience in the exam rooms of animal clinics and hospitals. I love animals of all sizes, and have always had pets at home, thus why I will be pursuing a career in the field and continuing to love and appreciate animals for the rest of my life. I have lots of love and attention to give and would love to meet your furry friends! I am currently available all days of the week, as I work from home and will be able to provide constant attention and care to your pets anytime of day, including frequent potty breaks and lots of play time. Pets can feel as though they’re at home, when staying in my home. Pets are allowed on furniture, and will have free range of the home, they will only be crated if specifically requested by owners. Pets MUST be up to date on Vaccines (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella) are a must. Will ask for records to verify! This is required to ensure that my pup and all other guests remain healthy and happy!
About: I have loved and cared for animals for a lifetime and first began pet sitting as child. This allowed me plenty of experience with creatures large and small, including birds, and small furry pets. It would be an honor to be entrusted with your furry friends’ care whether it’s for a day or an extended stay. My current schedule has long stretches of availability, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings year-round. Night shift workers are welcome and I am happy to work with your unique schedule. While in daycare or boarding, your dog will have access to my house and yard. There are no children in the home so your pet can enjoy a peaceful stay. For an extra layer of security, every dog I care for outside of their home or yard (daycare, boarding, walks, drop in potty breaks) gets an Apple Airtag attached to their collar.
About: I have had a dog since I was 4 years old. She is 16 now, and she’s queen bee around our house! She’s had two ACL surgeries in the past, and now her back legs are unfortunately atrophied. Throughout these years, I have gained experience administering medicine, spoon feeding, and helping her walk. My family recently adopted a second dog, who was born in Ukraine and deals with pretty severe anxiety. We still have a ways to go with him, but the progress he has made has been amazing. I go to Ave Maria so I will be available during the whole school year! I do play lacrosse which is a spring sport however, I still tend to be decently flexible. I can find time to visit during the day and I am open to staying overnight! A lot of exercise and playtime. Meals and medicine 1-4 times a day depending on the breed and size. Some treats and lots of love!

Joanna M.
“Joanna has been taking care of my dogs for a whole year! I have three adorable little Yorkies, one of them is a bit shy and scared around people, but she absolutely loves Joanna and feels safe with her. Joanna always sends me updates whenever she visits my dogs, and sometimes she even sends me pictures of them. She is such a responsible and loving person. My dogs feel so comfortable around her, they have fun playing with her, and they listen to her so well. I would definitely suggest Joanna to anyone who wants to leave their pet in good hands.”

“Let me tell you — Kaileigh ❤️ is the real deal when it comes to dog care. She’s got a heart for animals and a vibe that instantly makes dogs feel at ease. Whether it’s a hyper pup or a laid-back senior, she adapts like a pro and treats every dog like they’re her own. Kaileigh is patient, loving, and super responsible. She makes sure every walk is meaningful, every meal is right, and every dog gets the love and attention they deserve. She’s not just watching your dog — she’s giving them a little vacation of their own. If you want someone who’s reliable, full of love, and a little badass — Kaileigh ❤️ is the one. Your dog will thank you for it. — Renzo M.”

Sasha I.
“Writing this review is the LEAST I could do for Sasha. My experience with her as my dog sitter has been nothing but easy and overall fantastic. She is so easy to get ahold of and prioritizes communication. There’s nothing that bothers me more than leaving my best friend (little female german shepherd puppy) with anyone for even a few hours haha, but I am truly at peace whenever I book Sasha as my dog sitter, whether it’s to take my pup for a walk or even have her come to my house to feed and care for her. Overall, I feel as though I am under appreciating Sasha’s dedication to caring for my furry friend by saying she is nothing but AMAZING!”

Alexandra M.
“Alexandra has been an extremely caring, thoughtful and competent caregiver to our two dogs, with very different needs. For our 16+ y/o medium sized senior dog who now has significant mobility issues, she has been patient and capable in walking her, feeding her and making sure she gets her medicine. She is gentle with her yet can help with her physical needs and showers her with lots of love and attention! For our 3 y/o large size rescue dog, she has been patient, loving and knowledgeable in meeting his unique needs including anxiety and over-coming fears in his adjustments to his new home. Alexandra is competent in walking, feeding, re-assuring him when anxious and giving him his medication as well. He easily warmed to her, even though he is usually suspicious of new people. It is evident that Alexandra sincerely loves and enjoys the pets placed in her care. We have noted that she is intuitive to our dogs needs. She is mindful in making sure they have enough water, they are kept cool or warm (depending on the weather), making sure that they have proper exercise and are comfortable. Alexandra is responsible, timely, observant and we find her to be a trustworthy caregiver for our dogs.”
