About: I have been around all kinds of animals my entire life, especially dogs. I have been around all ages of dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherd border collie mixes. I worked for two years at a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. Although I am not a dog trainer, I did work with a couple of dogs with the trainers as helpers. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, aggressive dogs, particular dogs, scared dogs and can confidently say I up for a challenge. I am also a mom so nothing can gross me out! If you were looking to do anything at my house, I do have like I said two of my own dogs as well as a daughter under a year old I accept only one- two dogs at a time for my house, but my dogs are super friendly and I actually used them as introduction dogs at the daycare I worked at. Our front yard is not fenced in, but I do have a fenced in pen where I let them do the majority of their bathroom breaks and then I take them on walks through throughout the property. I am currently working part-time because I am a Mom and can only work on the weekends maybe occasionally during the week. My goal is to create a tight schedule that way we have no conflicts. Depending on your dog and the training that you guys have in place, I can help Help with a number of things. If we need to work on keeping them in the crate or keeping them out of the crate, or doing leash walks. I can do little drop in daycare sessions where we play outside. It really depends on what your dog needs, and what the limitations there are.

About: I care deeply about animals and treat each one like they’re my own. 💞 I’m currently on track to become a nurse 🩺, so being nurturing and responsible is part of who I am! I’m flexible, trustworthy, and I bring a lot of heart into everything I do💘 I believe even the most shy or misunderstood pets just need someone who sees them with patience and kindness 😊❤️Whether your pet is young and playful or older and needs extra love, I’m here to make them feel safe, seen, and cared for! Pet care is something I take seriously! I’ll always be there for your pet no matter what. Even with school, I make sure my schedule stays flexible so I can give your furry friend all the love, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I’ll be there to keep them company, stick to their routine, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Your pet won’t ever feel alone or overlooked with me. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same love and respect I give my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and rest. I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling them, and making sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. If your pet loves to play, I’m always happy to join in! Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just silly playtime around the house, I’ll match their energy with love and patience. I also keep your home tidy and will send updates so you can feel at peace knowing your furry friend is being well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of and owned all kinds of dogs my entire life. I have experience with rescues, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with short temperaments. I recently graduated from The University of Georgia this past May and am living with my parents in Ellijay this summer before starting grad school this Fall! I am able to visit your pup multiple times throughout the day or stay overnight if needed! I have a rescue pit bull/lab mix named Tux who my family and I adore. Unfortunately he is not dog friendly so my house is not available for boarding.

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼

About: I have been around dogs and all kinds of animals for my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I have been exposed to the responsibility it takes to take care of animals. I have done a lot of pet sitting over the years for neighbors and friends. I also have two years of experience working at a dog boarding facility. I have experience with administering medications due to pet sitting and working at the kennel. I have 3 years experience working as a veterinary technician, so I am confident in first aid and administering oral and injectable medications. Pet sitting is currently a second job for me, so I am not available for full time care except for on the weekends. I am available for morning visits and afternoon visits after 4 pm on weekdays. I am available to provide my services in your home only. I am not able to have any additional pets in my apartment because of my two dogs.

“Trinity was reliable and communicative throughout her visits. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have been boarding dogs privately for 15 years and decided to get on Rover to give more pets love and care while you're not there! Dogs will be free to play in backyard and in home while I am home but will be crated at night or when I leave the house(I only leave for short periods to do errands as if I can get it online and delivered- I'm doing that! Lol) I'm a big homebody! I have been dog training for 20 years, have always had personal dogs for 28 years. My dogs have been in film, dog sports, as well as, just being pets at home! Although I have 4 dogs, they will not interact with your dog(s) unless you are good with it and it will be my border collie who loves having another dog to play with as my other 3 never play with her LOL but if you would rather your dog just play and be around only me we can do that as well! Our 6 year old human child is VERY dog savvy as one of my dogs isn't always kid friendly so she knows to respect the dog's areas. We also only have her 50% of the time. But she LOVES dogs too so if we have your dog during her time with us I will check with you to make sure you're okay with your dog being around a smaller human 😊 if you are, your dog will be spoiled by the sweetest little girl who's as obsessed with dogs as I am! I work 5 minutes from my house and can go home at lunch when needed. Also have cameras on my dog kennels. When I am not at work I am at home or somewhere with my dogs. Your dog(s) will be separated from my personal dogs unless you are okay with them being around mine. We do a crate and rotate so all dogs get a lot of time with human interaction, as well as, alone to rest. I have agility equipment and toys and a big fenced in backyard to run around. Also a safe neighborhood i can walk them in if you choose to add walks to their care pack. I have a fully fenced yard, agility equipment, toys. I have dog friendly dogs if needed also! I am only 5 minutes from work and have cameras on my kennels at all times. Your dog will be super safe and have a vacation while you're on vacation!

About: Hello, I am a dog lover and is owned by 4 dachshunds. I am a dog trainer. I have my CGC evaluator. I have a Therapy Dog. I love to play ball and throw bumpers for my own dog. Wanted to earn little extra money. I love cuddle time on the couch or in my chair and brush them to make them pretty. I can feed separate from my dogs so no one gets feelings hurt. My pups sleep in my bed so I won't have to have electric blanket during the winter months. I keep a clean house and mop every day to keep things clean and smelling good. Has a nice privacy fence backyard for the pups to run around in to keep everyone safe. I like to walk the wood fence once a week to spot any holes that the dachshunds may have dug. Good thing is I haven't had to fill any holes along the fence just out in the yard where my crew likes to dig. I have days off at work but Monday is a permanent day off for me. Plenty of potty breaks. I also do poop pick up to keep backyard clean so they can without stepping in it..
