Dog Sitting Blackwood

About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.

“Joanne was kind and attentive. Really made us feel at ease while being away. We got detailed updates on how my dogs were feeling everyday. Even when one seemed sad that we were gone longer than he’d like. I couldn’t be happier with our experience.”

“This was our first time using someone who wasn't family watch our puppies while we were away snd katie made us feel so confident that they were well taken care of! She was very communicative and the dogs had a blast with her! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip.”

“Zahira is the best! She was available on a whim and I always feel great about leaving our babies with her. She goes above and beyond with communication and updates and takes the absolute best care of our dogs! She’s basically Remy’s favorite person!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so loving and caring for them has always come naturally to me! Over the years, my family has had two Boxers, a Goldendoodle, and a Rottweiler, so I’ve been around dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, and that’s a big reason why I decided to start offering pet care through Rover. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dog while you’re away, and my goal is to give you that peace of mind. Whether your pup loves to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just have some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I also have a friendly, playful 10-month-old Boxer of my own who absolutely loves other dogs and is always excited to make a new friend! 🐶🐾 I’ll treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s usual schedule, whether that means midday walks, feeding at specific times, or just extra cuddles. Because I’m home often, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have lots of companionship. My flexible schedule also makes it easy for me to accommodate drop-offs, pick-ups, and special care instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for both you and your pup. 🐾 Whether pets stay in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a large, fully fenced yard where they can safely run, play, and burn off energy. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. Inside, they’ll have a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Because I work from home often, they get lots of supervision and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to medication or special care needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own, making sure they feel secure and loved while you’re away. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and stress-free environment where your pet feels completely at ease. 🐾

“Monica has been so sweet, and willing to come on last minute visit requests. She goes above and beyond anyone I’ve met, even voluntarily cleaning up puppy messes or accidents he might have gotten in to after breaking out of crates. She always keep me updated and sends the cutest photos. So thankful for her, and love to continue my pups play time with her.”

Since I was very young, my family has owned a variety of dog breeds. For the past 5 years, upon adopting my own Staffordshire Terrier named Nya from my local animal shelter, I have deeply fallen in love with all dogs and have learned so much about what it means to be a responsible dog owner. Seeing the benefits of consistent training, accommodating behavioral, health/allergy needs, and learning what makes the happiest, well-behaved, furry members of the family has been such a beautiful, rewarding experience I would love to share with the dogs and owners in my community. I love taking walks around my neighborhood and greeting all the dogs on my path. I know without a doubt, I will quickly become their second-best friend! I'm available for walks on most days between 9am and 8pm, but I'd be happy to work with an owner and accommodate a different time. In your home, I'll play with them, provide opportunities for enrichment to entertain them and make them think, go for a good walk, and whatever else you'd like me to do to get the most out of our time together!

About: What sets me apart from other dog caregivers is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I’ve gained from being a dog owner for many years. I currently own a beautiful pit bull that is 11 years old ,her name is Blue. Before my dog Blue, , I owned a miniature pinscher for 14 years who passed away from old age and being ill.I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Especially knowing how important it is to me, when I am away, to know that my dog is cared for fed, and feels safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I do currently work full-time. Although I work full-time, I am done work at 2:30, and off in the summer. My husband has recently passed away. I have a lot more time on my hands to give your pet a lot of love. I am done work early enough that I can get to an owner‘s house for a dinner feeding for your pet, letting your pet out if you have a fenced yard , if not a walk. Playtime for your pet companionship whatever the case may be my weekends are free and my summer . It is then that I could provide overnight stays. Having a dog myself, I would not provide any services at my home, however, I would gladly come to your house, carefully come in, call your dog’s name and provide whatever services you would like. Those services would include a 15 minute visit or a 30 min visit In a 15 minute visit: *Let dog out/ short walk * Fresh water/ feeding *Lots of attention/ affection 20.00 30 min drop in * Walk/yard time *Feeding / water refresh * playtime/ companionship *Poop cleanup * photo text update- 30.00

About: I'm a dedicated animal care professional with several years of experience as a Kennel Technician and pet sitter where I've built strong skills in animal handling and daily care for pets of all types, ages, temperaments, and needs. My passion for animals started in 4th grade when I began volunteering with the Animal Welfare Association (AWA). Since then, I've gained hands-on experience in shelters and through pet sitting in both clients' homes and my own, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. After recently returning home to be closer to family, I'm excited to continue doing what I love most: providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care for every animal I meet. I am currently available Mondays through Fridays all day to do walks and drop ins-having plenty of time to provide proper care and love (: Weekend hours can occasionally be negotiated. My number one goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment and building trust with not only pets but their owners as well! Carefully following instructions regarding food/water, exercise, and medicine so they feel safe, loved and comfortable in my care.

About: Hi. I grew up with dogs and cats and have had cats in my home for the past 20+ years. I have had more than one cat that has required daily medication over an extended period of time so I am comfortable giving meds. I have experience dog and cat-sitting for friends, family and others. I know how difficult it is to go away and leave your furry family members home alone. I work from home now so I can work around your schedule and your pets schedule and give you that peace of mind you need while away. I will do more than just feed your pets. I am happy to walk your dog, brush your pets, get on the floor and play with your pets and I will clean up after them whenever necessary. I also enjoy caring for reptiles, fish and birds. I am an animal lover and would be honored to care for your furry, scaled and feathered family. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can visit your pets on a schedule that works for you and your pets. Most visits are scheduled for 30 minutes but can last longer if that’s what you need. I can visit your pets on a schedule that works for you and your pets. Most visits are scheduled for 30 minutes but can last longer if that’s what you need. I will clean up after your pet, make sure food and water is fresh and all food areas are tidy. I will play with your pet if they are comfortable with that. I am also willing to pick up mail/packages, water plants and even refill outside bird feeders.

“Yajaira is great! She helped us out in a jam with a last minute drop-in visit request. She also provides prompt updates as well as great pictures of the visit. 10/10 Highly recommend her for you and your fur babies.”

About: Hello, I love any kind of animal. I always have animals in my house to love, save and take care of. I have a German Shepherd, Pomeranian, and 2 cats. I walk my Shepherd Frosty every day 3 to 4 times a day. She is 5 years old and my Pomeranian is 16. I believe dogs need to be walked so that they can have more of a fulfilled life. I also believe that if a person doesn't have time to walk their pet a walking service is the best solution for the owner and the pet. Knowing that your pet is being cared for, walked and loved while your at work or away for a bit is a wonderful feeling to have. I truly love dogs, cats or any animal and I will always be a pet owner and a dog walker for the rest of my life! I literally go out of my way to help animals because they need us. I believe it is our responsibility as human beings to take care, walk and love our animals! Thank You! I work part-time and set my own schedule. When someone needs me to take care of their pet, I choose that time first. I have a dog and 4 cats, and I love them all so much! I know exactly what they all need, and first and foremost is love! I love to take care of animals; they are so very important to my life! All animals love me right when they meet me. They have a sense of people right away. They are in good hands with me! I take great care of my animals in my home and other people's homes. I keep everything clean and neat for them. They always have fresh water and food. Their bowls are clean and sanitary. I love to walk dogs, and I know they love it too. I love cat's too! They are the best!
