About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and senior pets needing extra love. I’m reliable, friendly, and always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I’m happy giving medication, going on long walks, or just offering companionship and cuddles. As a full-time online student with a part-time job, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time for pet care. I’m home often, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely meals, walks, and lots of affection throughout the day. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I truly enjoy making it a meaningful part of my daily life. I create a calm, pet-friendly space with close supervision, consistent routines, and lots of love. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets feel secure and relaxed. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priority.

“Brooklynn is amazing! You can tell how much she likes doggies. Rusty knows the time of his walks and he gets really excited to go. Brooklynn has been great helping us with Rusty’s walk after his lunch, we know he is being taking care off and she tells us about his little progress every day. Definitely recommended.”

About: Experienced reactive dog owner. If you’re hesitant to take your dog with you for a night away or maybe you have a busy schedule and feel bad for your dog, don’t worry I can keep them company! I’m a PE teacher who will soon be on summer vacation. When you’re at work, I can stop by for a walk, potty break, whatever you and your dog need. I love exploring new trails, I can take your dog along with me for a summer day adventure or we can stay close to home. I have a rescue who is dog reactive, so if you’re looking for someone who is experienced with reactive dogs, I’m your girl.

About: Having had pets for my entire life, from hamsters, birds, cats and dogs - I've got lots of experience to help your pet - be it going out for a walk or snuggling up at home. I've got lots of experience walking bigger dogs as well as little pups. My energy meets your pet's, and I can be very energetic with a more active pet but can also be really calm with a more mello pet. I think animals are the best, and often prefer to spend time with them than people sometimes. I can guarantee that your pet will be given the best care possible and will be given lots of attention and love. Looking forward to getting to know you more, please reach out if you have any questions! I work from home as an engineer, and go on frequent walks to get in my daily steps so if needed, I could accommodate frequent walks but my flexible schedule also allows me to meet your pets needs at any time of the day. We ensure that our home is safe for pets by not keeping any house plants that could be harmful to pets, by working with the client to understand all of the needs for the pet whether its dietary, medical or anything else! I'm keen to ensure that the pet has attention throughout the day, and is the happiest and well cared for. If the owner likes, I'm happy to share pictures, videos and take video calls throughout the day.

About: I have owned my own dogs that I have groomed myself and taken care of for years. When fostering dogs, I maintain their grooming and other health needs.

I have a backyard with no other pets. We have 2 couches that we all the dogs to sit on, as well as my bed. Can crate your dogs if needed. Always walk dogs on leash.

I'm new to Rover so don't have reviews here yet, but am happy to share my profile on Trusted Housesitters and AirBnb and to provide references. Je parle français aussi! Y un poco de español :) I work from home so will be there most of the day to give your pets the company, attention, and care they deserve. I can accept pets for boarding who are able to be on their own or rest quietly while I am in online meetings. My schedule is variable and I can schedule walks/drop ins/care in morning, midday, or evening hours. I have a small backyard and enjoy going to for walks to the nearby parks and trails.
