About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.
“Beckett is wonderful! She is kind and my dogs loved her right away. She was able to accommodate a last minute need for a dog walker and really helped me out, especially with my oldest dog who is very headstrong and not everyone is able to handle her. I highly recommend Beckett!”

About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.
About: Hi! I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming your best friend into my home, or caring for them at yours! You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I work full-time from home, same employer for over 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for bookings or cancellations, and able to travel as far as needed (within reason). My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.
“Landon is so chill & sweet with Trygve, my sweet Norwegian Elkhound. Tryg loves to "scent walk" and is a big boy and tends to pull very hard ( & I'm a small person), so this has been a win-win for us! Welcome to the family, Landon!”
About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!
About: I have lived with animals my whole life. I also previously worked at a dog and cat boarding facility as a daycare staff. My job included supervising daycare groups, playing with dogs, and maintaining a safe and clean kennel enviornment. I am currently taking a gap year from college, and have a pretty open schedule. I am utilizing Rover as a part time job, so bookings make up the main portion of my schedule. I have three very friendly dogs who love to play as well as a cat. I do not have a fenced in yard, however we love putting our fury babies on long lines and playing fetch in our lovely yard. My number one priority is always safety. I have experience at maintaining a safe and fun environment for animals due to previously working at a dog boarding facility.
“I absolutely love Brianna and Brandon’s patience with my timid dog, Dollie. Thank you for understanding her ques and meeting her where she is. By providing her space she is quickly warming up after her first walk! Thank you!”

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm where caring for pets was second nature. From dogs and cats to farm animals, I’ve learned how to handle all kinds of temperaments and routines with patience and confidence. I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them attention, comfort, and consistency while you’re away. Your fur baby will always feel safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I work from home during the day and pick up evening shifts serving, which means I’m around most of the time and your pets won’t be left alone for long. I’m a homebody at heart, so I can provide plenty of attention, snuggles, and care throughout the day. Your furry friends will always have company, playtime, and supervision while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment with a fully fenced-in yard and plenty of indoor space for play and relaxation. Whether it’s supervised outdoor time, cozy indoor snuggles, or gentle walks, your pets will have room to explore and feel at home. You can trust that they’ll be cared for with attention, consistency, and lots of love while you’re away.
