“I have had booked Stephanie a few times now & she is perfect with my dog every time. He loves her & always remembers her no matter how much time goes by in between visits.

About: I've owned dogs for almost all my life. I absolutely adore them. I became a cat mum a few years ago and realized cats are very similar to dogs, endless love! Each animal has a very unique personality and I'm excited to meet yours! My friend works for a vets office and I frequently help with caring for dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds and the occasional horse. When I go out of town I'm worried about my cats, getting picture updates helps so much. Know that I can update you and I will love your fur baby like my own! I'm comfortable with special needs and I feel communication between pet, parent and sitter are key. Know that I will value my time spent with them because their life is so precious!
About: OPEN SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR THE HOLIDAYS **Please follow my Facebook page: Paw-some Boarding Stays to view pictures from previous pet stays at my home to see what kind of fun your pet can have. I took a break from in-home boarding for a few years but I'm ready to hop back into it. I've relocated and now live in the country. I have a fully fenced 6ft fence to keep the pups safe and secure. HelIo fellow pet parents, I'm Nikki. I worked at a PetsHotel where I provided care to the pets for almost 3 years (walking, feeding, and medicating). I also am a pet owner of three dogs! I am comfortable providing care to pets with special needs. My dog is deaf so we use sign language with her. I'm a regular volunteer at DACC. I foster dogs through local rescues and currently have a medical recuse dog. Lastly, I also have the supplies to bathe (and velocity dry) and clip/grind nails. Baths are only offered to dogs with a short coat (not breeds that have long or thick hair that could get matted-ex: huskies). I work longer days during the week but have weekend availability. I'm willing to make accommodations for boarding pets. Message me for additional questions you may have. I will follow any rules and routines that you have created in regards to caring for your pet. As for my home, I have a fenced in yard.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, I'm retired now and have time to spend with your pet so you won't have to worry while you are gone. I have a 6 yes old boxer currently, I'm retired and could spend time with other dogs in the afternoon or evening,week days and weekends. Unfortunately our boxer is spoiled, she loves to run with kids. Her favorite toys are plush squeaky ones, she has several of them scattered throughout the house

About: We lost our Italian Mastiff, Meadow, of 10 years and miss the daily love she gave. We are not ready to own another pet, so I'm looking to love yours for the time being. We have 2 inside/ outside cats who hide well when new people/ critters are in their space. I live on 3 acres and have lots of time to spend with your furry babies. Love to be outside, take long walks, play fetch, snuggle, and hike often. I am very flexible and have lots of free time, due to my work schedule. I can devote lots of time and patience for young energetic puppies all the way to elderly and in need of extra care and assistance. Hope I get to meet your furry one/ ones soon! My husband and I work opposite shifts so 90% of the week, one or both of us are at home. Love to take long walks. Home most of the time. Love to walk. Love to work on training and maintaining what hard work has already been done. Very flexible adapting to dogs routine.
About: I’ve always had a dog and cat in my home since birth and have a special love for all animals. Currently, I have a Standard Poodle, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and 2 dog friendly cats. I’m open to meeting with you in advance so you feel comfortable with me caring for your fur baby. We can either video chat or arrange an in-person meet and greet…whatever you prefer. Benefits of choosing me for the care of your pet(s): 1) I offer a comfortable home setting. Your dog will not spend countless hours outside unsupervised or in a crate like some boarders do. 2) Your dog will get plenty one on one attention because I only board for one family at a time. Many other Rover sitters take numerous pets at the same time, so you never know what or who your dog will be exposed to. 3) I work full-time from home so your pet will not be left alone much (if at all). 4) I’m a Rover customer as well, so I understand how important regular updates and communication is! I can provide you with as many photos and updates as you wish. 5) I’m reliable and dependable. You won’t need to worry about a thing if you book me for the care of your pet. I commit to being on time for walks and drop ins. 5) I don’t require crates for dogs who aren’t normally crated when alone or at night. A lot of Rover sitters will crate your pet while being boarded. 6) Your dog will be in a family, home-like setting while staying with me. They will very quickly feel at home here…I promise! I work full-time from home Monday - Friday, but I am able walk and care for pets on my breaks and lunch hour. My work schedule is extremely flexible. I will treat your pet like my own while providing them care! Belly rubs, head scratches, lots of treats, cuddles and love. But of course, if your pet is more of a loner, I will respect that as well. For drop-in visits, I’m open to watering plants, taking out trash, bringing in mail etc. in addition to caring for your pet(s). Just let me know what you need done!
About: I have had a dog since before I could walk! Growing up with a few different dogs have taught me how they all have their personalities and I love getting to know them. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to love on your pets! Whether that be a short or long walk or play date, I am excited to meet your furry friend! I love all types of fur babies! I love giving cuddles, playing with their favorite toy, or going for a walk! If there is any specific quirk of theirs even better!
About: Hi! My name is Melissa, I have always had a special place is my heart for animals. Growing up I used to go door to door to walk all the neighborhood dogs just for fun. As I grew older I turned that fun into a job and worked for a private pet care business for about a year. After that I made my journey and began working as a veterniary assistant and volunteering with local rehabilitation trainers. Well working at the vet I met Harley who was a surrender and fell in love the moment I saw her! Since then I have begun my career outside of pet care but my girl Harley and I are eagerly seeking a way to work it back into our routine for both work, fun and make some new friends!
About: I have been pet sitting almost every month for the past 4 years and it has been such an enjoyable and memorable experience and I appreciate everyone who has given me the opportunity to do so! I will make sure to communicate as frequently as you want, sharing pics and videos of your fur babies being adorable goofballs. I work from home four days a week, making it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets. I go on daily walks or runs and will happily bring them along. Since I work from home, your pets are never alone for too long! I will respect your home, take care of dishes, mail and trash, & ensure the place is cleaner than when I arrived.
