About: I have had dogs since I was 12. Taken obedience classes ,trained all of my own and worked with/ cared for many family,friend's and acquaintance's dogs. I worked in a boarding facility several years ago and have house trained many puppies and adult dogs. I have experience with many different breeds from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers, and love them all. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives, I feel blessed to have them in my life. They are not with us long enough but the time they are here I want to express to them how grateful I am for their existence. I know first hand how hard it is to entrust others to care for our animals and will treat your four legged friend as my own while in my care. I currently work a flexible part time job and am available Thursday-Monday after 2:00, other days are possible as well depending on client needs. Also available to drop in at your home for your pet. I have a 6 foot wooden fenced yard and outdoor dog toys and water available. 3 dogs who will welcome a new buddy but also have separate space if your pet would rather be one on one with humans. My house has central air, is dog friendly with safe toys and located on an acreage with a very low traffic road. I also have 3 different size crates and a small dog exercise pen if needed. Your own crates are welcome as well. I have several puzzle toys and will welcome your pet as part of the family.

About: Growing up I have always had cats and dogs around in my life. I have always bonded with cats and have lots of experience taking care of newborn kittens. I have found homes for 30 cats and kittens and would love to continue helping cats, dogs and owners out with pet care as needed! I love meeting new pets and owners and I’m exited to have you book with me! I currently work at Texas Roadhouse and am starting collage! Being injured I had to rethink how I was going to work and make money and rover works out very will for me! It’s an amazing opportunity to help pet owners in need as well as connect with pets! I love exercising and walking and always make the pets included if they want to be, even my 15 pound cat in his backpack! I currently live in an apartment building and go for walks frequently. I do own a cat backpack that is breathable for the cats to take them on walks as well as a cat and dog leash and harness for small dogs! I also have lots cat toys and a few dog toys that are just waiting to be used by someone other than my cats (whom are great with other animals).

“Sophie did a great job and took good care of my Mila and Mia. Kept the litter cleaned and I’m sure they were happy to see her. Thanks, Sophie!”

About: I have had and taken care of dogs for my entire life! I love every size and breed, and appreciate the differences between each animal. I have raised young pups/kittens and taken care of 13+ year old dogs/cats. I also have experience with dogs and cats that are not spayed or neutered. I grew up with four dogs and three cats all under one roof, so I have no problem taking care of multiple fur babies at once. I start student-teaching on 8/24, so I will only be available 3-9 during the weekdays. I am completely willing to stop by after school to walk or check on your furry friend. I have Sundays completely free and am able to help anytime! I have two friendly cats that were raised with dogs and other cats. They mostly keep to themselves but love to socialize with other animals. I will treat each animal like my own!

“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have had experience for 10+ years, so I am well aware of the commitment that is required to care for pets. I am a dedicated, non-smoking, animal loving, professional who can't wait to care for your gorgeous animal/s! Each pet has their own personality and style so I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want! If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want to play, I could play all day. And if it's space that they're looking for, I can give them that as well! It's all about what the precious pets need from me. I provide excellent 5 star services for you and your fur-family, my aim is to make them happy!

About: I started house/baby/pet-sitting right our of high school. We have 4 cats of our own and have fostered several others. I provide attentive, loving care and always treat pets like family, because they are. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, clean and make sure your fur-baby feels safe and happy while you're away. I stick closely to their routine if requested, give lots of playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve. I'm a responsible adult and will care about your pets AND your space as if it's my own. I want you to come home from your travels to things having been taken care of and clean, with attention to details: cleaned bowls, clean litter boxes and floors swept. I'm currently own my own business, so pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s needs. I'm available most days to provide consistent, loving care. I make sure each visit is focused, stress-free, and tailored to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and happy while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. For overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe and comforted throughout the night, sticking closely to their usual schedule. During drop-in visits, I give them focused attention, clean up after them, and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable before I leave. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Carol was great! Not only was she available on short notice before the holidays but she was very thorough in learning about my dog and ensuring both of them could be comfortable around each other. She did drop-in visits while I was out of town and the updates she provided were very detailed and much appreciated. These gave me peace of mind my dog was very well taken care of. She also engaged my dog in activities, like playing with her, during her drop in visits. I’d be comfortable having her watch my dog again in the future and I’m incredibly grateful for her work.”

About: I’ve been raised around dogs since I was born. I’ve owned multiple dogs until they were in their old ages. I am experienced with cats dogs pigs and other smaller animals. I offer daily walks, a ton of belly rubs and attention. We have another young dog with high energy. We love giving out treats. Your dog is safe with me. I offer daily walks. I offer tons and tons of belly rubs. I am super active and we love going To pet co and petsmart. I work full time out of home but my wife is full time in the home. We allow couch surfers and bed snuggles. She has her own rover so she’s background check certified as well. We will tend to any food or med needs. We are experienced with crate training and only will use it if needed. We leash in our own yard and leash on walks. Any loose dogs we will stay clear of while taking care of your fur baby.

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I also have canine hospice care experience. If your pet needs extra care or if you need respite, I am available to help. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

About: I grew up with dogs! I have two dogs of my own! They are the best. Looking to help with walks, potty breaks and play time! I am in school and work seasonally. Schedule may vary but I have lots of availability to help with potty breaks, walks and play time! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully while giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I respect each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away!

“Ive been using Alivias services for over a month now and will continue to do so. She does a fantastic job with my dogs. My dogs love her. She sends plenty of pictures of them.”

About: Currently dog sit for a friend when their family goes out of town that has lead my son and I into enjoying taking care of dogs. We enjoy their company, snuggles and companionship. Currently working part time hours so I am home often along with being home every night and on weekends which allows your fur baby to not be alone for long periods of time. Have a front yard easily accessible to use with a lead and a big fenced in back yard for running around, playing fetch or relaxing in the sun.

About: I love all dogs no matter the size! I have a mini golden doodle myself and I have been passionate about taking care of dogs ever since! I work in the mornings so afternoons and evenings would be best! I do have some weekends off so I would be able to walk them then also! I will most likely not board dogs but if I had to I do have the space at my apartment but unfortunately no yard for them to run around.

“Mia is very friendly and responded very quickly to my messages, we had some last minute things and she was able to help us out. She obviously loves dogs too! And my dogs love her! I would highly recommend Mia!”
