About: I have been taking care of family/friend pets through the entirety of high school and afterwards. I have worked with a positive feedback trainer with my dog and have been able to apply those teachings to other behaviors in animals. I also know how to handle medications for dogs, from pills, intestine liquids, and topical creams. I absolutely adore big dogs and will totally let them be lap dogs. I love little dogs, even if they try to be ferocious creatures. I work a part-time job and am focusing most of my free time to medical concerns. I traditionally work in the early morning, 6-12. This leaves my afternoons free for the pets, but I can figure out how to care for them in the morning if necessary. Beyond that, I want to maintain active with the animals, playing, cuddling and taking for walks. I have 3 dogs of varying sizes (8, 25, & 100). They have different diets and activity levels, but all maintain their appropriate body weight. We have a fenced backyard for them to roam around in. The big dog is an anxious creature so he gets put in the crate when everyone leaves the house. I specifically worked with him on it and he has done wonderfully with positive reinforcement. I am able to transfer this knowledge to other animals, it might just take a few tries. Access to treats might help 😋. For walks, I can handle dogs big dogs and the ones that pull pretty well. I refuse to use choke chains and shock collars. If they are wearing one, I would like (with your permission) to switch it for a regular collar during the time of my stay.

About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages because I have always had dogs of my own. I provide loving, reliable care with plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I am comfortable with reactive dogs because I have one of my own. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and treat every dog like my own. I work at a coffee shop, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to caring for dogs and cats. I’m usually off early in the afternoon and available for the rest of the day and evening. Even on days when I close, I’m done by 7 PM, so I can still provide evening walks, drop-ins, and care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your dog and cat gets the attention and care they need. I always follow the safety procedures and guidelines that each client has in place for their pets. When caring for dogs, I make sure they are never left unattended in situations where I cannot keep an eye on them. I also have experience and training working with reactive dogs and safely walking dogs of different personalities and needs. I take safety seriously and want both the dogs and their owners to feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: Hello! We are looking to help people out in our free time with pet care. Please note we can only accept small dogs who are good with cats for day care/boarding at this time. Please let us know a few times you are available for a meet and greet before hand to ensure it is a good fit! We have two cats and one dog; and between the two of us have many years of experience with cats, puppies and senior dogs. Audrie also volunteers at the local pet shelter and has gained a bit of knowledge in dog training. We will be on time, provide lots of photos while you are away, and be certain to follow your instructions exactly as written. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Between the two of us, we are very flexible. Our only routine is walking our dog in the morning and evening, and feeding our animals twice per day. We have a fenced backyard, and let our pets go out when they want, but mostly they stay inside. We take our dog on two walks daily. We will follow whatever direction you have. Because of our cats, we can only accept small dogs into our home for boarding, but can go to your home as needed.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've always owned dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies, and other high energy working breeds. I also grew up caring for horses, goats, dogs, cats, and just about every other animal you can think of. Along the way, I attended basic obedience classes with my own dogs where we learned clicker training and positive reinforcement techniques. Today, I have a German Shepherd and a cat of my own, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and it has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I'm on Rover because spending time with animals simply makes me happy. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and I don't take that trust lightly. When your pet is with me, I'll care for them the same way I care for my own, with patience, lots of love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I own my own business, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule. Because of that, I'm rarely away for more than a few hours at a time, allowing me to provide attentive care and plenty of companionship for your pet. I'll always do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am always the person worrying about my own pets and their unique needs when I'm away from the house. This means I will always follow your instructions and care for your pet in extreme detail. Making sure they're secured, have eaten, have plenty of water, ample exercise, any medications needed, and plenty of love and affection. I pay attention to the little things, and will always do everything in my power to ensure their comfortability.

About: It’s my goal to give you peace of mind while you are away. I provide frequent updates with photos, I give your pet(s) lots of love & attention, and strive to make you feel delighted by returning to a sparkling clean home. I am currently taking time off of work while studying online. This makes me available for frequent walks, potty breaks, and any other needs. I love going on long walks and being outside which makes pet sitting the perfect match for me at this time. I typically care for pets in my clients homes while they are away on vacations or weekend trips. I am flexible and due to my open schedule I am able to take care of pets with a wide range of needs.

About: Hello, My name is Reilly and I am from a small town called Horseshoe bend. I grew up on a ranch with plenty of dogs, who I cherish very much. I am super active so I love taking dogs for walks, runs, and hikes. I've dog sat for a few years and have taken care of up to four dogs at one time, all vary in size. I have worked with aggressive dogs as well so I know how to handle them and feel confident on reading their behaviors. I think it is very important to treat dogs as you would a person, they need the proper amount of attention and exercise. Right now with the weather, It's best to walk the dogs early in the morning so that's what I would prefer. Thank you for viewing my profile :) I currently am in between jobs so I am available to walk dogs in the morning Monday-Friday. I would prefer to walk the dogs earlier in the morning before it gets too hot. I also am open to taking the dogs swimming as well. I have a fenced yard right now and also will let the dogs inside as well as it is to hot for them to be outside all day.

About: I have grown up with a wide variety of dogs since before I can remember. This has allowed me to have hands-on experiences while learning how to properly care for, feed, and exercise animals. I take a high level of pride and joy in my own animals so I would definitely love to care for others! I am currently in school and available to work part time! This means I have plenty of time to care for and play with animals! I am available Monday through Sunday! If pets were to stay at my house, I have two friendly dogs and a well fenced yard. If I were to stay at a clients house, I would follow the owners routine as well as properly managing my time with the animal.

About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.

“Niamh was awesome! Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve been house sitting and watching dogs for the last 3 years, and absolutely love it! I have gotten the opportunity to care for many different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I currently have two dogs, and always have had dogs growing up, so I have a lot of experience! I’m currently working part time with my schedule varying, but have free time throughout the week, and can usually work house sitting into my work schedule when needed:) I typically care for dogs in the clients home when house sitting, and am able to pick them up for walks figure out alternatives when needed.

“Wendee was an amazing sitter/walker. She’s friendly and communicative! We needed a drop in visit while we were on vacation in the area and Wendee did an amazing job! I could tell our pup really enjoyed her company. 10/10 would recommend!!”

About: Having over 20 pets growing up (dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, snakes, piglets, and more), as my father was a Veterinarian. I have always had a passion for animals. When I was in highschool I even worked at his animal hospital as a receptionist and technician. Other than my huge love for animals, I have a lot of knowledge on them as well. I am very active, I love to go to the gym and go on runs. So I can be your pets dream sitter or walker!!! I am currently a student at Boise State University but as it is summer right now I have an open schedule. I usually just fill my day with exercise and hanging out with friends and family! I will make sure to follow the instructions from the owners for the pets very carefully to make sure I always create a safe environment for the pet.

About: I believe a house isn't a home without a dog! I grew up around dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and lovingly cared for my own best dog friend Hobbes for 11 years. I'm ready to be a stand-in best friend for your canine companions whenever work, travel, or life keep you too busy to dote on them. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work part-time as a healthcare professional. I often have multi-day stretches of time off, and am happy to take time out of my day to give your pets the love and attention they need. I'm flexible, reliable, and adaptable. My goal is to keep your pet's routine and environment as familiar and comfortable as possible. I'm happy to stick to the schedule your pet knows and provide plenty of snuggles in between.

“Amy took our dog on two long walks during the day when we were away. Amy is very reliable and gets along well with our dog. I would definitely recommend her.”
