Rylie did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She communicated with us during her stay and provided us with the assurance that Addie was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life from family pets to neighbors or friends pets. I have a 3-year old dog myself and have cared for senior dogs and cats along with puppies and kittens. I also have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs. I currently work a job where I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have availability any weekend and some weekdays! Any pet I have met I have loved as my own! I currently do not allow boarding at my house but would love to come to your home where your pet will feel the most comfortable and care for them! I am very active so if that is what your dog needs, I am there for that as well as a good nap sesh on the couch! I can work around any pets needs.

About: Hello, fellow pet lovers! 🐾 I'm Vanessa, your go-to sitter who treats every pet like family! Looking for a loving, reliable place for your pet? You’ve come to the right spot! I offer a home-away-from-home experience with personalized care for your furry friend, from daily walks to playtime and cuddles. 🐕✨ I understand every pet has unique needs, and I’m here to ensure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy throughout their stay. Open availability and flexible pricing – I’m happy to discuss rates that work for both of us! Whether it's a weekend getaway, an extended stay, or regular doggy daycare, your pet will be treated like family. 🐶💖 Let’s chat and make sure your dog gets the care they deserve – reach out today! Whether they love cuddles, long walks, or just some playtime, I’ll ensure they have a tail-wagging good time. Trust your pet’s care to someone who understands they’re more than just a pet! 💖 I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 & I currently only have 1 dog, we got him when he was 2 months old. He is crate & potty trained and I’ve also taught him little things like paw, shake, stay, wait, you name it. I can give baths if needed as well! Pet care fits into my schedule since I am a stay at home mom! I have too much time on my hands 😅 I figured this would also benefit my dog as well since he loves being around other dogs When staying in my home: I will take the pets out every 2-3 hours, take them for a walks around the building, and feed them according to their schedule! I will request your doggy’s crate in case of needing to run a quick errand and for nighttime unless they’re house trained, I won’t mind leaving them out! When caring at my clients home, it all just depends on your preference 🙂

I am more than happy with the service provided by Megan (and Scott). I asked they take Frank on a walk because he had been crated for a few hours, feed him and just hang out for a while. They went beyond, by taking him on 2 walks, sending several pictures of a smiley happy dog and communicating throughout the visit what Frank was up to. They are friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and training, timely and reliable. We were at ease being gone for so long knowing Frank was in good hands. I will absolutely use them again when we need someone to take care of our boy.

About: I worked at Chow Hound for a year and I absolutely loved my job, getting to see animals while at work was awesome! I learned responsibilities from a very young age since I always wanted to have multiple pets at home; my dad used always tell me if I can show him I know how to take care of the pet, and show him everything I needed to take care of her/him, then I would be able to get one. Over the course of 10 years, I had a pet rabbit for 10 years, hermit crabs, hamsters, mice, rats, ferrets, and a leopard gecko. I only go to high school until 11:30 am. I also play volleyball, and I have practice Mondays and Wednesdays 7-9 pm. So I am able to provide pet care everyday of the week, after 11:30, or on Mondays and Wednesday's before 6:00 pm. I don’t have any now, but in the past I have had hamsters, rats, mice, hermit crabs, a ferret, a leopard gecko, and my favorite girl, who I had for 10 years was my rabbit, her name was Piper, but we always called her “bunny”. I always make sure my pets get the attention and love they crave, always have fresh food and water, and watch their behavior, making sure they are well.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!

Rylie was a fantastic sitter to my cat and dog! She was able to come early when our plans changed and she followed all instruction so our dog could maintain his normal routine. I would for sure choose Rylie to pet sit for our family again.
