About: I have experience with anxious dogs, especially puppy mill dogs. I adopted a puppy mill dog over a year ago and helped her overcome anxiety and fear related to people, new places, handling, grooming, leash walking, loud noises, etc. I also have experience with dog socialization and basic dog training in addition to basic dog care like feeding, bathing, grooming, administration of medication, etc. I’d be very patient, caring and understanding of your dog’s needs and will provide the best care possible. I work remotely from my home and able to take care of your dog all day in my home, and overnight if needed. I am also able to walk your dog in the morning, during the day and evenings. I am available on weekends as well. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and playtime, separate space to board your dog and crate/playpen if needed during the day or at night. My friendly pup will keep company to your dog and will be a playful companion.I will be happy to provide enrichment opportunities with puzzles, toys, kongs, games, etc.

“Kelly took excellent care of our dog. She was always on time and responded promptly to our messages. Amazing!!”
About: I don’t have much experience other than that I grew up around animals my whole life. Such as cats, dogs, ferrets, turtles, and hamsters. It is just recently when I started taking care of them (i.e., dog sitting, grooming etc.) as I am trying to gain more experience for my school resumé for when I start this Veterinary Assistant Program in September. I’m a pretty ‘to myself’ person until I get comfortable and can tend to get a little social anxiety but I always persevere. That is also why I would like to push myself and do something like what Rover provides because I have so much passion for this field and my love of animals is what keeps me striving for excellence! Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to work with animals and it’s wonderful seeing that I have that opportunity. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur friend! I am currently going to school to pursue my career in Veterinary Medicine so availability is a tad more limited; nonetheless, I’ll still be available. The specific tasks and level of care will depend on the pet's individual needs and the services provided, but typically include feeding, grooming, exercise, health monitoring and companionship.

“Lily was so great with my dog Rocky (Australian Shepherd). She was friendly and caring, and was really helpful to me about her availability and schedule when I was setting up his walks with her. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Service Provided: Private Dog Walking Experience: I have been a dog owner for about 20 years now and have dog-sitted plenty of family and friend's pets over the years. I have always been a huge animal lover and believe that dogs and cats are not just animals but members of the family. I work a regular 8-3 job at a dog treats company, which limits my availability for services. When I walk my dogs its not just a regular walk, its a training session, I believe in enriching dogs minds while also providing physical exercise! I work full-time 8am to 3pm, Monday to Friday. Availability for services look like: Monday to Friday 6am - 7am and 4pm - 10pm, Saturday and Sunday Anytime. I treat all dogs as my own and will always ensure that dogs are happy, in good health and always returned safely home to their parents.
About: My dog is a rescue. He suffers from pretty bad separation anxiety, so keeping him comfortable when he’s alone is quite tricky. Over the last 4 years with him, I’ve been managing this and have finally found some and routines and tricks that keep him calm and comfortable in our home while I’m away. I have had a dog my whole life. I understand the basics of care, and will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of, comfortable, and safe while you are away. I currently work from home 2 days out of the week and will be available to play with your pup through out the day - whether you bring them to me for a day of day care, or you need someone to go check on your dog at yours for a walk or a pee break! Additionally, I am available evenings and weekends for dog walking or babysitting. I live in a townhouse with my senior dog. He loves company. Once the excitement of “hello” passes he is very calm, and will love playing with a friend! I don’t have a backyard, so I will take the pups on frequent walks. If you need someone to drop by your place to walk or give pee breaks to your pet, I am more than willing to stay and play and follow any care instructions you provide.
