About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My last fur baby was a Puggle that was handicapped. She lost the use of her hind legs at age 6. She needed help going potty, I got her a wheelchair so we could still go on walks which she absolutely loved and was important to keep her as healthy as possible! She needed more care then my other dogs, she really trained me to help other dogs that need alittle more care. I have had Dachshunds, Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers and Puggle. I love any breed of fur babies, they all want love and belly scratches!! My schedule is pretty open and am willing to work with you to get the best help for your dog. My schedule is pretty flexible and would be available to spend a night or two at your home if needed. I would work with you to get the best care for your dog. I would not be able to have your pet in my home as I live in an apartment. I would take them for walks, let them out to go potty and stretch their legs. <ake sure they are fed and have fresh water. and the best part i'll sit with them and give love and make them feel comfortable with me in your absence . And of course clean up after them, I have 7 yrs experience of caring for a special needs dog.

About: My name is Claire and I am a PA student at Creighton University! I am 26 and moved from Steamboat Springs, CO where I watched many furry friends through Rover and absolutely loved doing it! I am originally from Chicago and love doing anything outdoors such as skiing and running, but also love ending the day nice and cozy watching a movie or reading a book. More importantly, I love dogs of all ages and would love to care for your awesome dog! I had a labradoodle for 15 years growing up whom I adored and sadly cannot have a dog of my own at this stage of my life, but am looking for a buddy to care for to get my fix! I am responsible, organized, and easy going. I will provide very good care of your pet and give lots of pets, walks/runs, and love! I am free to answer all questions about scheduling and flexibility. I hope to hear from you soon! Your dog needs a good buddy while you are away and I really hope that person is me! I am a full time student in Omaha, but have lots of breaks throughout the day to give your pet lots of love! While school will be hectic, you can be assured that I will take your pet on a lot of exercise when I am home (If they are up for it) as it is a great break for me in my studies. I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I love animals and live in a pet-friendly area where I have easy access to walking/running trails.

About: I love dogs of all kinds and have had my own family pets since I was 4 years old. I will treat yours like my own: with love, empathy, and compassion. I believe in force-free, positive reinforcement training methods, which I have used on my own miniature Goldendoodle for over 3 years. I'd love to care for your pup! I work full-time and intend for this to be my side gig for additional income on my days off. am off school from my graduate program until August, so this will hopefully be my or at least side gig for the summer. As I said above, I believe in positive, force-free training, so I do not yell, hit, or physically harm my dog or any dogs I am around. I believe in redirecting unwanted behaviors and encouraging all the good ones! Your dogs will be safe, happy, and healthy with me. I assure you! Also, I am comfortable managing multiple pups at a time. I am sure to monitor their interactions closely and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and feeling comfortable.

About: (If the prices seem high, I'm sorry. Rover does take 20% of payments.) 🐶 I have always loved all dogs and grew up around all dog types. I have also been able to help/give love to most dogs others wouldn't or couldn't. I love all furry animals🐕🐈 I'm a mother to 3 older boys, who love animals just as much as I do. Your family's dog/dog's are more then welcome to come with me and the family to most anything we do😁 I'm able to be home with my puppy who is socialized with other dogs and loves the company of another furry friend. I have the capability to separate her from any new furry friends that may have a hard time with other furry friends, if need be. I can't wait to be able to give your loved family member/ members care and love. I treat every animal in my care as if they were a family member. I would also do what's asked if there's extra care needed.

“Ian was quick to respond and prompt for his scheduled time. He came prepared with water for my dog, took her for a nice walk and she came home very happy and tired from the exercise, which is exactly what I had hoped for: ) Ian has watched our pets before he joined Rover and he always does a great, thorough and thoughtful job. He really loves animals and it shows.”

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible!

About: I’ve had a pet be apart of my family for the last 20 years. Now that I have my own family I have a different perspective on how hard it can be to take care of them.

My summers are very open currently, along with different parts of the day depending on the week. I have a fenced in yard with 2 of my own rescue dogs.
