“Crymson is an animal lover. ? She has walked our dogs caring for them and exercising them. She is very responsible she has been trapping Ferrell cats ? to get them checked by vets and then fixed to help over population. She feeds and helps many Ferrell cats in the neighborhood. She also pets and says Hi ? to any dogs she passes. She volunteers at the animal shelter. I would overwhelmingly recommend Crymson for Rover.com.”
9. Claire H.
“Claire is a wonderful animal caregiver! In addition to their own array of animals, they have cared for my cat Patrick since he was a kitten, and he is absolutely obsessed with them, if that tells you anything about their demeanor. They have also loved my family's senior puppies with such gentle care, as well as my friend's young deaf dog, who is crazy and difficult to control, if you don't know how to connect with him. They care so much, not getting upset at something like an accident on the floor, or an angry yip because you touched a sensitive spot, they still speak calmly and interact with empathy, like you would caring for any other member of the family! No special need or personality quirk is too big. They just want the best for your furry family member, and it shows! Let them love on your pets for you, when you can't be there!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, helping out family/friends fur babies over the years or just strays I’ve meet on the street. I love learning how to care better for different breeds and as of right now, I know basic grooming, bathing, and training. I’ve also had experience in administering oral medication and caring for senior cats and dogs. So if your baby is in my care, you can rest assured they’ll be treated like family and I’ll do whatever it takes to make them feel happy and loved while with me! I am currently working part time, which leaves me with a lot of free time. I like to go on walks often, so I’ll be able to keep up with your furry friend’s physical needs. I also prefer to be in my home by dark so I’ll be here for your baby if they stay overnight! I have a spacious, one bedroom apartment with a lawn surrounding the home. If staying overnight, I do potty breaks every 1-2 hours, depending on the dog. I have a spare litter box in home and I deep clean it in between every client. I provide basic grooming and bathing when needed. While in your home, I will look out for any messes or accidents made by your pet, and promptly clean them. I‘ll come by every few hours for potty breaks and water refills. I will stay with your pet for 30 minutes; playing, cuddling, and assessing your pets general well being as to let you know how they’re doing throughout your absence.

I know how to administer medications and care for animals in almost any condition. 2 of my senior fur babies recently crossed the rainbow Bridge so I have plenty of love to go around! I currently stay home with our newborn, so I am available in the daytime. I am able to accommodate almost anyone (: Typical schedule is 8 am - 3 pm I'm available but can vary slightly I will keep your pet safe and in my line of sight at all times if they are able to be off leash. If not they will be leashed and in my control to keep safe

15. Brenna & Sawyer B.
“I trust Brenna to take care of my pets more than my own parents. Her personal pets live lives of luxury and she brings that to any furry friend lucky enough to be under her care”
16. Kelsey B.
“I cannot recommend Kelsey enough! She took care of my two cats and dog multiple times over the last year, and her service exceeded all my expectations. From the beginning, Kelsey was professional, communicative, and friendly. She made sure to get all the details about my pets’ routines, dietary needs, and quirks, which gave me peace of mind. During my trips, I received regular updates, including photos and videos, showing how happy and well-cared-for my pets were. Kelsey even went the extra mile by tidying up the litter area and bringing in my mail! It was such a relief knowing my pets were in loving and capable hands. I came back to find them relaxed and happy.”
17. Kayti C.
About: I have done dog sitting for several people for more than 10 years. I am Fear Free Certified and currently in the process of receiving my certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). I’ve worked at a boarding and daycare facility, as well as a vet clinic as an assistant for 3 years. I have worked at an animal shelter, caring for animals, for the last 2 years. I have done multiple private dog training sessions for anything from puppies to behavioral modification. Highly knowledgeable in canine enrichment and care. I have experience in caring for senior dogs and cats and I have taken care of a wide variety of breeds. I am experienced in administering medications of all varieties. I have cared for animals recovering from surgery and animals who need extra levels of care. If you want someone who you can fully trust to care for your pet who requires extra medical attention, I’m one of the best options in our area! I also have done dog bathing and grooming. I currently work part-time. I have very flexible availability. When home, I spend lots of time managing playtimes between boarders at my home, or snuggling with older pups who want more attention. I am always happy to accommodate to my client’s pets however they feel is important to the pet! My yard is a little under a half an acre, fenced in with a vinyl privacy fence. My house is 1500 sq ft which dogs get a free roam of! When it is warm out I have a pool for the dogs, splash pad, outdoor toys, and more! I have 3 dogs, a Border Collie and a Husky. I also recently have added on a foster fail, a black lab mix. All of my pups love meeting new friends! I have several years managing dog play groups and dog daycare, I am extremely knowledgeable in dog body language. My house is well equipped for separating dogs as well if needed. I have what I call the “doggy play room” set up downstairs in my house which has been slowly expanding. As of right now I have foam flooring for padded protection, tons of toys and enrichment options, and large pen-style set ups for kenneling as needed if dogs are too stressed or just need time to rest and nap. When caring for pet’s in people’s homes, I am courteous and compassionate. I follow instructions well and listen to how owners feel their pet would most appreciate my care. I follow feeding schedules exactly and have done many different medications of pets including insulin, liquid medications, capsule pills, and tablets. With several years of experience in veterinary assisting and medical boarding, I am completely comfortable caring for pets with more extensive medical needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, including 2 of my own. Experience pet sitting a wide variety of breeds - from chihuahuas to pit bulls & everything in between. I’m currently available 7 days a week (pretty much 24/7) for dog walking, pet sitting, and/or boarding while in transition from college to my research career. I care for pets by ensuring they get plenty of attention as well as a good walk or ample playtime to get their energy out.
