About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an extra fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night except Neemah. She is old and doesn’t tolerate the crate. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
About: Family of trainers, senior care a plus! Understanding making schedules and fun is a big part in a dogs happiness and health. Parks and walks are a big part in keeping your friend preoccupied while you’re away I’m currently boarding and daycare on weekends and sometimes weekdays. I’m offering my services because of the love of animals and the needs from owners. Sometimes owners need a break or a vacation that’s pup-free. And I get it! Helping achieve that for you while their dog-family is also cared for the way you would at home is so important. I just hope to make that gap in the industry a wonderful experience I have a fenced in yard, long walks and park near by. I have two small, non-aggressive, friendly dog that will give them company. I am more than happy to accommodate any crate needs or other requests.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles for over ten years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently work a full-time job that has a flexible schedule so that I'm able to take care of your pets when needed. I am free throughout the week, and I have no problem in taking last minute jobs. Before taking a job I personally like to meet with clients to discuss everything that is needed to care for their pets, and will always update owners on anything that happens while watching after their fur babies.
“Jessie takes care of Brooke like she is her own dog. Jessie went above and beyond to calm Brooke's anxiety over being alone. I am so grateful for the love given to Brooke while I was gone!”
About: Passionate about dogs and their well-being, I have dedicated over 10 years of my life to caring for these wonderful companions. With two dogs of my own, I understand the importance of love, attention, and responsibility in their care. My experience includes rescuing dogs in my home country of Peru, demonstrating my commitment to their welfare. Whether it's for a day or a week, I promise to provide the same level of care and dedication that I give to my own pets. Your furry friend will be in safe, loving hands with me. I have plenty of time to take care of your doggies, I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, and my weekends are very open too. I prefer to take care of your doggies in their own environment for safety and precaution, I could take them for long or short walks, whatever they need.

About: Hello I'm Lauren. I've got a pupper of my own named Layla. We love long walks in the evenings, playing ball, and long naps during the day. I work in the field of recreation so I like to be out and about but love to come home and cuddle at night. I've been working with pets since owning 13 rabbits when I was little. I have experience with big, little, and medium sized dogs and will work with behavioral issues as well. I do require that the animals that come to my house be crate trained for when I am at work or I can pet sit from your home if you prefer your pets to be out all day. Either way I'd love to meet your little darling/darlings.

“I highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting and dog walking services on Rover! She took exceptional care of my Basset Hound, Snickers, while I was away from home. Melissa ensured Snickers had exercie with regular walks and fed on schedule. She also administered Snickers' medication with care and attention. Beyond the basics, Melissa provided Snickers with love, affection, and companionship, which made all the difference. It's clear that she truly cares about the animals she looks after. I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing Snickers was in such good hands. Thank you, Melissa, for going above and beyond!”
