I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy

About: Experience with large/XL breeds, bully breeds, working/high energy breeds, reactive and senior pups. Happy to provide your pup with structured and/or lax sniff walkies. Expert in freesbie, fetchies & tug- I have a working breed at home so very familiar with their requirements. Experience with senior pups, familiar with medication distributing, slow/wagon walkies, and all the extra lovings required. I currently work a full time job with plenty of flexibility which includes working from home. I am able to provide walkies/check-ins Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Weekends can be arranged upon requests ahead of time. At my house, walks and play time are typically structured and we always have a paw clean up routine when returning home. When someone is caring for my pet, I love to get photo updates as I’m sure all pet parents would. I have a good amount of experience with reactive/nervous pups and especially on walks so I’m aware of how to handle triggers. Attentive to outside factors- other dogs garbage/food on the floor, etc

About: Having lived with, and cared for dogs for much of my life, you can expect that your pet will receive my full attention and devotion during the time that we work together—not just their basic health, safety and food/outdoor needs, but also the affection that keeps them feeling loved. I currently work from home-where we have a large backyard with endless fascinating smells—and I rarely leave client dogs unattended. My own Boston Terrier, Hutson, currently 8 years old, is a well socialized, solid companion who is very good with canine communication, and will give space to dogs who need and request it, or play with those who share his play style (I monitor very closely). He’s especially good with puppies. I am also very comfortable maintaining obedience protocols when needed, but also flexible and realistic about dogs' behavior. I have some experience with dogs' health needs. I have helped care for my mother's cocker spaniel, whose serious autoimmune condition has required the administration of daily oral medication, including immune system blockers and steroids. I've also cared for a four month-old Boston Terrier puppy who when we first met needed medication administered twice daily. Outside my interest in animals, I've run a summer program for high school students, and have significant and transferable experience handling emergency situations and working under pressure. I currently work from home, and I rarely leave client dogs unattended. We have a large backyard full of interesting smells and occasional visits from other animal friends, from squirrels to rabbits and opossums. I also love longer walks through nearby forest preserved if dogs are well suited to this. Having lived with, and cared for dogs for much of my life, you can expect that your pet will receive my full attention and devotion during the time that we work together—not just their basic health, safety and food/outdoor needs, but also the affection that keeps them feeling loved. I'm an advocate of positive training techniques, and try to provide mental stimulation. My own Boston Terrier, Hutson, currently six years old, is a well socialized, solid companion who is very good with canine communication, and will give space to dogs who need and request it, or play with those who share his play style (I monitor very closely).

About: I’m always the go to person to take care of loved ones pets done pets. They trust me and know I will watch over them and attend to their needs. I’m very attentive and pay attention to them. Will never leave them out of my sight. I can care for any dog after 5pm to 11pm Monday through Friday and if I am open to the weekend as well, I will gladly be able to have service open for Saturday and Sunday. Whatever the client needs for their dog, I can help. If they want a calm area space, I can provide that. If they are affectionate or attentive, I can provide that. Much energized dogs, I’m able to take them on walks and play with them until they feel tired. They are allowed on couch and beds if the owner feels comfortable doing that. I have blankets for dogs and a brush, poopy bags and toys as well.

About: I have cared for pets (mostly dogs) for most of my life. I have a playful and gentle approach with all pets, and have plenty of experience working with reactive dogs / dogs with traumatic histories.

About: Had many pups in my life, I've said my goodbyes, however I still give back by taking care of yours. I know they mean lots and I know each and every one of them has a unique personality which I tend to. I am very adaptable to your pups needs and will understand them to the best of my ability to make sure they enjoy my company while you are gone 😁. Unless I am booked, I am available all 24 hours of the day. Always have the peace of mind that your pup is being cared for no matter the day or the time. I have 2 fenced-in yards, have most pet necessities in home, neighbors/house residents are very dog friendly. Very safe trustworthy environment for your pup to ensure your peace of mind for their boarding.

About: Hello! I love ALL animals & can't imagine life without them. I'm the go to pet sitter for friends & neighbors, & I have 2 cats & a pitty myself. My dog walking journey started here on Wag! in 2017 but I’ve worked with dogs & cats while fostering & volunteering at shelters before that. I also gained an insane amount of knowledge while I worked at a dog daycare/hotel for years where I eventually was promoted to a supervisor. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments & quirks. Body language & reading animals easily is a humble gift of mine. I of course want you to find someone who’s the perfect fit, so even if you’re still exploring options plz reach out with any questions☺️ I have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments. I became a supervisor at the doggy daycare so I have experience with medication administration. I am dog CPR certified & experienced with emergancy situations. But above all, I love all animals & love that caring for them gets to be my job! As far as pricing, please feel free to message me! I wish Rover aloud more specification for prices but my Rover prices all vary based on your needs. I am flexible! If you want a 20 min walk instead of a drop in visit, that’s okay with me! My prices all go based on time. So if you only need me to stop over x2 a day for a sitting, it would cost less. For walks, it also depends how many dogs. I can be a good fit if you need a last minute walk! I am currently accepting walks on breaks on my remote days and after work/weekends. If you’re looking for a reliable & trustworthy person to take care of your pets last minute, while you are out on the town, while you go meet up with family, stuck in traffic etc., feel free to message me! I always am focused on safety and security. I make sure keys are safe, that pets aren’t let out without checking all leashes and harnesses, & always make sure all doors are secure when coming in & out. If any of your pets have any allergies I need to be aware of, let me know. Regardless, I will never feed your pets anything without asking you first. Thank you so much for inquiring about my services! Even if you’re not certain you want to book with me yet, you are more then welcome to reach out with any questions. I of course want to be the perfect fit for you & your babies!

“Reshunda was responsive and timely. My pet can be timid at times but Reshunda made sure had eyes on her and that she was safe before ending the visit.”

“Natalie was prompt and patient with my fur babies. She checked in with me and provided pictures. She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were well cared for.”

About: Low rate as I acquire clients. I recently came back to this app. Therapist by trade and a pet lover in general :) I have three pets and one of them is a two year old mini Aussie. I regularly support a neighbor with their 11 year old pup and would like the opportunity to support your family in: * Teeth brushing * Crate Training * Baths & Grooming, at your request. * Walks around or in your neighborhood. * Administering medication. * Basic clicker training: I can support you and your pet(s) in reinforcing, sit, wait, spin, drop, high five, recall. * Exposure training for the anxious pups * All the cuddles, playing, and mental stimulation with safety in mind. Right now my availability is flexible after 10am and before 3:30pm. Late evening are open as well for walks. Message me, maybe we can figure something out! I will treat your pet as you do. I’m interested in what their day to day schedule looks like, their likes and dislikes, favorite toys, and how to best earn their trust.

“NaBeela took care of my 2 senior cats in my home while I was out of the country. She was kind, an awesome communicator, and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of things and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with large breeds, along with the care and love I put into every dog’s well-being. As the owner of a 120-pound gentle giant, I understand the unique needs of large dogs, from handling strong leashes to providing plenty of exercise, patience, and affection. I grew up with big dogs, so I’m well-versed in their care, temperaments, and quirks. I treat each dog I sit or walk with the same love and attention I give my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it's puppies, seniors, or anything in between, I'm here to give them the care they deserve. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I love every moment of it! With plenty of time in my schedule, I make caring for my own large-breed pup a top priority, which means I'm fully prepared to give the same attention and dedication to other pets, too. I enjoy creating a routine that includes plenty of walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. Whether it’s for daily walks or in-home sitting, I’m flexible and ready to provide consistent, loving care whenever it's needed. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well-cared for. I keep spaces pet-friendly and hazard-free, and I’m careful with their routines and boundaries to make them feel at home. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and any specialized care they need to stay happy and healthy. Most importantly, I approach every interaction with patience and positivity, so pets and owners alike can trust they're in good hands.

“Very friendly and gives prompt replies. Looking forward to booking him again next time we need a sitter!”
