About: As a dog owner for 15 years, I have always loved being around any and all animals. Happy to help reinforce training on walks or at home visits. I have pet sit before for multiple animals at a time, and can be flexible based on your needs! Truly just happy to spend time with your pet and help them. Looking forward to working together! I currently work full-time, however I work from home some days. Since I am home more than anticipated, I am looking to fill that time with furry friends. Though I do work full-time, I am flexible in the early mornings and evenings, and can be available on weekends. I grew up around animals, and helped my family take care of our Jack Russell Terrier as he grew to 15 years old. This involved carrying him up and down stairs, and occasionally providing medication. I currently have a dog of my own, an almost 2 year old Jack Russell mix, so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and am eager to provide physical and mental stimulation to help make your dog happy!

About: Hey there all! My name is Mariah! I have many years of experience caring for fur babies! I am a lifelong animal lover and proud dog parent to Winnie! We only have one dog (sweet Winnie). No other pets are in the home. I know how much pets mean to us, and I treat every furry friend like my own. Reliable, caring, and ready for walks, snuggles, and play! I’m usually at home and have a sweet 4-year-old daughter who’s very gentle and caring with pets. My husband works full time, but he’s a big animal lover too and always enjoys having dogs around. Dog sitting brings us so much joy—it keeps us happy, active, and surrounded by love. Every dog that stays with us gets treated like part of the family! I have a fenced in yard and other necessities are available if your pet needs anything. Your pet is top priority and will be loved!

About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.

I was worried about booking through Rover but am so glad I did! She accommodated my last minute booking when the family friend sitter fell through. Sarah did a great job with my very high maintenance dog. She sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time. My dog needed a special anal gland treat because of her health issues and Sarah was patient and kind giving it to her. Unfortunately, my dog has accidents often but Sarah was understanding and cleaned it up. I seriously think my floor is cleaner now than it was before.

About: Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing long walks or a senior pet requiring medication, I am comfortable, patient, and prepared. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience while you are away. I work from home, so your baby will get nonstop attention and cuddles! I do have a fenced in yard and do not require dogs to be crate trained. I always prioritize your dog’s specific needs—whether that’s gentle walks for seniors or active play for puppies. I work from home/have a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present with your dog/cat. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and always focus on both your pet’s mental and physical exercise. I ensure a safe environment by keeping fresh water available, maintaining a clean space, and checking that all gates are secure. I do allow your pet to sleep on my bed unless instructed otherwise. I send photo/video updates and follow your feeding/medication instructions as well as any others given. I do allow meet & greets at my house if preferred!

About: I have a dog of my own at home and also lived with a dog in my college apartment! I have no issues playing with energetic dogs or hanging out and chilling too! I have worked extensively with my friend who is in vet school with her cats and her foster dogs and feel comfortable in many situations. I will spoil your babies rotten!! I attend RWU Law School during the week but have light days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and can come to relieve pets or hang out for a little! I have plenty of homework to do and can do that while snuggling with your pet! I am free most weekends as well. I work very hard to create a good relationship with the family of the dog as well as the dog themselves. Everything is up to the family and whatever they are comfortable with. I am comfortable with staying over, bringing the dog out for walks or a drive or coming over to feed the dog and give them lots of love!

About: Have had dogs all of my life and absolutely adore every one I meet. I would love the opportunity to meet yours! Very experienced with Labradors as I have owned one for 14 years. My new bestie is my 4 year old dachshund, Archie :) As of right now I am available for pet care all week! I am newer at this type of work so I am mostly looking for mid day drop ins and dog walks! I have a partially fenced yard and am able to attach your dog to a run for some playtime outdoors. I can also crate if needed if it is a smaller dog

Julia was absolutely amazing! She did 3 drops in visits for us with Harley last week and it was the best experience. Harley can be very timid and scared and Julia even came by our house the day before to meet him while we were home and Harley took to her right away, it made me feel so good about my decision. I travel for work and we will definitely be using Julia everytime going forward as long as she is available. Every update included photos and in each photo harley looked happy and comfortable it made me feel so good to know he was being taken care of while I was away and my husband was at work. Thanks for everything you do for Harley! He cant wait to see you again!
