About: I’m a dog lover and have grown up with dogs. I have been dog and cat sitting for friends and family for years, which has included dogs of a variety of sizes, breed, and age. I have also fostered a few dogs who had challenging behaviors and quirks. I would love to care for your pet, whether that’s a drop-in or a long walk! I’m currently working from home and have the flexibility to do drop-ins during the week on my breaks. I am happy to stop after work and on the weekends too. I will treat your home and pet as if it’s my own, and respect the guidelines you set out. I like to get to know your pet first and build trust with them, so that we can have a fun time together.

About: I have grown up with dog in my life, Walking them is my job, also my work out. 2 miles at least walk per walk. I grown up with big dogs , walking them is the best way to waste their energy. Also add some work out on my own. For visiting, I work in the 8am-4:30pm , during weekdays anytime before 8 or after 4:30 pm will work for me. On the weekend I usually I can walk them anytime.

About: My name is Raven, and I am an energetic and passionate lover of animals of all kinds. I grew up in a household wherein my mom saved any animal she could get her hands on, therefore I learned how to care for cats, dogs & even snakes very early in life. Ive worked for shelters since I was a pre-teen, both in volunteer and employment capacity, as well as being on Rover for almost 5 years now, and have fallen in love with every pet i've been able to care for. I'm respectful of your home, time and routine. I'm able to meld to any feeding, walking, cuddling time your animal is used to, as to not change their routine while you're away. I hope to meet you and your furry friend! I am a student at MATC, as well as working part time for Fedex. My schedule is very flexible, and I prioritize your pets before anything else.

I can give myself an immense amount of credit for being a very trustworthy person. I was taught by my father to leave things better than I found them, and enjoy cleaning and maintaining my own environment as well as yours. I've never had a complaint about my respect for my clients space. You may occasionally check your home cameras and find me having a conversation with your pets, but other than that, I am fully sane! As for boarding in my home, I am unable to care for dogs in my home as I have 2 cats without experience with dogs, and the number one priority in my care is safety. However, I can board cats as my cats are very comfortable and used to living in a multi-cat home.
