About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.

About: My entire life, I've been around animals of all sorts. From Small, loud, and feisty chihuahuas to big, stoic, and strong Pitbulls. I've owned cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits before and each one has only made my love and care of all animals grow each day. I'm available full time, 24/7 for whatever your pet needs may be. Any request you have, I can get it done and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they want and need. Walks, play, cuddles, or personal space. I'm also immune to the eyes by this point.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.

“Neide is a dream! She clearly spends a lot of time with animals and is passionate about them. Leaving my 16 year old senior cat and my 1 year old new cat was nerve wracking, but Neide’s compassion and knowledge put me at ease. I highly recommend Neide!”

About: $20 off your 1st rover service! https://www.rover.com/sit/chrisy67308 I have a German shepherd malinois which is also my first pet. I love him to death and take his health (mentally, physically, etc) seriously. I would do the same for yours! I have dog sat 3 dogs at once (including mine) for a few weeks before. My dog can acclimate to new dogs after a meet and greet. I can handle dogs with raw food diets and have baby gates in some rooms to separate dogs if they're not getting along! I have a back yard to run around in (not grass). I have time on the weekends and wfh. I have gated fences and rooms. I can watch dogs while I work. I can take them on walks in the afternoon. I can crate if needed (need to assemble - fits gsd). I can handle walking dogs up and down stairs (weight dependent). I will ask for permission before giving any "new" treats or meal items.

About: Hi there! My name is Valeria, and I’m currently a law student with a passion for animals. I’ve had the joy of owning a dog in the past and currently share my home with a wonderful cat. With my sister being a veterinarian, I have a solid understanding of pet care and their unique needs. I’m dedicated to providing a loving and attentive environment for your furry friends. Plus, my schedule is flexible, so I’m available to accommodate your pet's needs. Currently I am a student so my schedule is flexible. I live close to campus so I am never more than three hours away from my home. I care for pets in my home by applying the notes the owner gives me. I understand that pets may feel uncomfortable in a new setting so I want to make it as comfortable as possible.

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for years! I raised a sweet Devon for three years and currently care for a lovable Yorkshire Terrier. I'm especially close to my Yorkie — she sleeps in my arms every night! I understand how much pets mean to us, and I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s cuddle time, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, gentle, and truly a dog person at heart. I’d love to care for your furry friend like my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. I currently care for my own pets, including a Yorkie and a Devon Rex cat, so I’m already used to routines like feeding, potty breaks, grooming, and giving them attention throughout the day. I organize my schedule to make sure I have time for walks, play, and cuddles — whether it’s early in the morning or in the evening. Adding another furry friend to my routine is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for! When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe from the moment they arrive. I introduce them slowly to the space, provide a cozy area to rest, and follow their regular schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I only accept a small number of pets at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and full of love — and I always supervise interactions if other pets are around.

About: What sets me apart from other dog walkers is the combination of my extensive experience and personalized approach to dog care. With my 5 years of dog ownership, I've honed my understanding of various breeds, temperaments, and specific needs dogs may have. Beyond just walking, I have hands-on training experience, which allows me to handle behavioral challenges effectively and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. My approach isn't just about physical exercise. I prioritize building strong bonds with the dogs I work with, understanding their personalities, and tailoring activities to suit their energy levels and preferences. This personalized attention fosters trust and comfort, both for the dogs and their owners, knowing their pets are in capable hands. Also, I stay updated on best practices and new developments in dog behavior and care through continued research. This commitment ensures that I can offer the highest quality of service. My dedication, experience, and passion for dogs set me apart, providing peace of mind to owners knowing their furry family members will be well taken care of and protected. I work most nights so during the day, I’m a full time dog dad. As a dedicated caregiver, I take responsibility for every aspect of your dog's well-being, including walking, training, and feeding. My commitment extends to being attentive to cues that signal when your dog needs to go outside. Whether it's recognizing signs like restlessness, sniffing around, or sitting by the door, I ensure prompt and responsive action to meet their needs. With me, your dog not only receives essential care but also benefits from a loving, attentive approach that prioritizes their comfort and happiness throughout our time together. 1. Safety First: I prioritize safety by carefully assessing walking routes, ensuring they are free of hazards like traffic or aggressive animals. I use secure leashes and harnesses appropriate for your dog's size and temperament. Additionally, I stay informed about local pet regulations and emergency procedures. 2. Building Trust: Trust is foundational in my interactions with dogs. I take the time to understand each dog's personality and preferences, respecting their boundaries while encouraging positive behaviors through consistent training techniques. By being patient, gentle, and reliable, I establish a trusting relationship where your dog feels secure and valued. 3. Creating a Positive Environment: I strive to create a nurturing environment where your dog feels comfortable and happy. This includes maintaining a routine that aligns with their needs, whether it's regular walks, playtime, or feeding schedules. I also provide mental stimulation through interactive toys and games, ensuring they remain engaged and fulfilled. By focusing on safety, trust-building, and a positive environment, I ensure that every dog in my care receives the attention and care they deserve, promoting their overall well-being and happiness.

“Thank you Gabie for being so great with Sparky!! Gabie took care of my pup when I’d be gone from home too long. She’d take him out to potty, play and cuddle him ? Thanks for all the love you gave Sparky and feeding him when I couldn’t! You’re a lifesaver! 100% Recommend Gabie!”
