About: Hi, I grew up in a home that had dogs and have also worked with rescues over the years. I am able to help potty train, teach tricks, work on leash and friendly play for puppies. I have toys treats and a fenced yard. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. We have a small pomsky and a old chihuahua/yorkie mix who are the friendliest dogs in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog our home might not be ideal. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing and welcome to make sure your fur baby and ours will be a great fit. I am also a wildlife rehabitator at Lost Child Wildlife Rehabilitation on facebook. I am working hard to help the voiceless orphaned wildlife. My life gets a little crazy during wildlife season but that does not stop me from being able to care for your furry family members. Wildlife and animals in general are my passion and always have been. I am also enrolled in Unity College online to further my education and the help I can provide to our wildlife. I am currently a stay at home mom and have all the free time to spend with your fur baby while their family is away. We wake up at 730-8am everyday and have a great routine that any fur baby will fit right into. We could do holidays, weekends overnights and everything in between. I have a fenced in yard, dog friendly dogs and tons of toys for playtime. We have donut bed, blankets, crates if they are needed and enjoy going on walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.

“Callie does an incredible job watching my 3 cats whenever needed. She keeps me well informed and allows me to rest assured my fur babies are well attended while I’m traveling. I can tell she provides care motivated primarily by a love of animals! 10/10, would recommend!!”


“Sage is excellent! Highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She is proactive, reliable, professional, and kind. We’re always so grateful when Sage cares for our cat!”


“Jill was so great! She was able to check on my pups when I had a last minute cancelation with another sitter (not a rover). She was so kind and even took the time to meet the boys before. During her visit she was very observent and took great care of my boys! Will be booking her again in the future!”


“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”


“Cheyenne went above and beyond while checking in on my husky! She sent detailed updates and several photos after every visit, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again, Cheyenne☺️”


“Kelly was amazing with my two cats and took wonderful care of them while I was gone for over a week! She sent regular photos and updates and I felt so happy seeing my babies so well care for. Both my cats were extremely healthy and happy when I came back. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”


About: I have taken care of my own yorkies for 17 years and also had friends ask me to babysit their babies and of course my babies relied on me for fresh water, meals, grooming, nail cutting and much more. Outside-never alone, walks, play and especially brushing and petting on my lap. Lots of love I'm retired and home all day, with exceptions of Doc visits. When I am not home Hope stays at the house with any babies that I have in the home. I will be taking the babies out and be with them the entire time they are outside. I will play with them and have them sit in my lap if they choose to. Or anything else the owner would suggest. The babies are allowed on my furniture and to sleep in bed with me if they choose to.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough for my parents and neighbors to trust me! Grew up with multiple of my both in the house and naturally my first job was dog walking and house sitting around the neighborhood. Have experience working with older pets, puppies / kittens, and large breeds. Currently, live in the Corktown neighborhood with my Australian Shepherd Mel. If you see us out on a walk, say hello! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your ideal walking and / or care schedule. My Australian Shepard Mel and I walk around Corktown daily and am always up for spending more time outside! For Dog Walking: I follow your lead on your dog's tendencies / preferences. I adhere to your preferred routes and instructions regarding leash etiquette, avoiding off-leash situations unless explicitly discussed and approved. If your dog enjoys canine company, I'm happy to bring my Aussie Mel along, who loves walking with friends! If your dog likes playing ball / frisbee, happy to discuss how we can accommodate that as well. For In-Home Pet Check-ins: I pay close attention to your pet's behavior and appetite, reporting any concerns to you immediately. I ensure fresh water is always available and clean up any messes promptly. I prioritize respecting your space, leaving it just as I found it.

About: I have raised 4 puppies of my own until healthy old age. From my Jack Russell, German shepherd, Australian cattle dog mix, and Golden shepherd mix. Each have very diverse dispositions and needs for exercise and diet. Hopefully we can work on a consistent plan for their care while you are away.

Whether your pet is shy, quirky, or full of zoomies, I meet them where they’re at—tail wags guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I love being active and spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks fit right in. I structure my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I’m flexible and committed to keeping their routine consistent and stress-free In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and any meds—so they feel safe and stress-free.

Nichole S.
“Rover.com To say that Nichole loves animals would be a understatement. Nichole has been around animals most of her life and over the past few years she has gotten involved with the animal rescue and rehab community. She has helped find homes for domestic animals that were discarded by their owners or orphaned when their mothers were killed. She also works to rehab wild baby animals so they can be released back into the wild. You won't find anyone that loves animals as much as Nichole does. R. Federick”
