About: I've grown up taking care of dogs, and also have experience caring for small animals like rabbits! I'm comfortable walking large dogs, and have often cared for older animals. I am currently a grad school student, so I have a very flexible schedule! My daily routine can easily be adjusted around your pet's needs. I don't own any pets at the moment, so yours will receive all my attention! I'm happy to stop by periodically for walks or stay with your pet for the day. I live near a few parks perfect for longer walks too.
“Amy is awesome! She has a wealth of animal care experience. She took time to get to know the dogs, gave them individual attention, always arrived on time and posted updates and photos after their walks. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! My name is Sam and I love working with animals. I grew up with three dogs, and I have been pet sitting for three years. I am fully devoted to giving each dog the best possible experience and adapting my services to fit individual needs. I work with a flexible schedule and have plenty of experience with different dog breeds (from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs), making me a good fit for a variety of different clients. My services include dog walking and drop-in visits for dog sitting, a great alternative to kennels or boarding since it keeps the dog comfortable at home, and I always take time to play with and entertain our four-legged friends! I put the comfort of my clients first, and provide a free consultation before any service is agreed to. I look forward to working with your dogs! (Oh, and you too!) I currently working full time from 7:30 to 4 pm. I am available after 4 for potty breaks and walks. I can also do morning and lunch time visits upon request! I will care for your pets as if they're my own! My living situation is currently in an apartment with my golden retriever. We have plenty of room to play with a fenced-in dog park on property. If I'm caring for your pet in your home I will follow your instructions carefully and keep a close eye out for any strange/abnormal behavior. Regardless of where I watch your pet I will send frequent update pictures and make sure they feel cared for and loved!
“I have a newly adopted rescue dog who was abused and is very fearful of new people. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter and I was very nervous for him. Allison was kind and patient with him and he did very well! She took care of both of my dogs at this time and was excellent with communicating before her initial visit and during each scheduled visit. I would trust Allison again with my pets.”
About: I love being around all kinds of animals. They are unconditional love and they help ease the day. I love trick training, agility and being active with dogs. I am self employed with a flexible schedule. My schedule varies each day but I can adjust my work as needed for each day. Day or evening I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly, active Labradoodle. I understand dog body language and what to look for when taking dogs on walks to keep them safe.
“This was our first time using Rover. Beth was everything we could hope for. Our dog is pretty skittish, but Beth endeared herself to our anxious pup in no time. Beth communicated well, posted pictures, and did everything I asked of her. We highly recommend Beth and will definitely call on her again!”
About: From a far back as I can remember, animals have been a big part of my life. I come from a long line of animal lovers so growing up I had experiences with many animals even exotic animals. I’ve learned hands on care experience as my sister is a huge animal lover and has taught me many skills regarding animal care, I’ve raised and cared for dogs and cats from the moment they were born to their elder years, animals are and will always be my top priority and I’ll always give any animal the best care they can receive. I myself am a cat and dog mother, my dog is a beautiful Chinese crested so I’m also experience with high maintenance pets as well and even animals with disabilities or behavior issues. Just know that when your pet is in my care, I will do anything and everything needed to protect, care, and comfort in order to give them the best possible sitting experience! In my school apartment we have a cat and my dog, so pet care is a daily for me! No matter how hectic a day is pet care is always my priority! Pets are family and I will always ensure the best care is given to any animal I’m around always! I have a very high energy small dog with many high maintenance needs and sometimes a sassy attitude, I am a patient caregiver and will work through any situation with patience, love, and compassion! My sweet pup Dior has always been guided with no fear inducing behaviors (yelling, physical discipline, or any distressing actions) and I’ve seen positive outcomes with this patient loving approach to any situation, having a soft caring environment for a pet is always a priority, I also am very careful to make sure any environment I’m in with any animals is safe and keep them away for anything that can be harmful to them. Most of my friends are actually just animals so you’ll never have to worry about me putting your pet in harms way or in the presence of any thing or any one that could lead to any harm! I’m great with dogs that like to be homebody’s and dogs that like to go out and be active! I’m very adaptable and will make sure anything to do with your beautiful pet is as safe as possible!
“Louanne has been so great for my puppy. They go for walks and have a nice play session while I’m away at work. I would recommend her to any one that wants peace of mind while they are away from their best friend.”
About: I am a veterinary student. I'm comfortable caring for animals at every stage of life—including neonates (newborns). I understand the special attention, feeding schedules, warmth, and monitoring that newborn puppies and kittens need to thrive. In addition to neonatal care, I’m also experienced with senior pets, including administering medications and mobility support. Whether it's a playful puppy, a gentle senior, or a fragile newborn, I tailor my care to each animal's needs with patience, knowledge, and lots of love. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable I'm very flexible and have plenty of time. As of now when I am a student, I will be free to take nights throughout the week I have three indoor cats they are not allowed to go outside. Because it is too dangerous in my area. I have tracker callers on them and harnesses and leads, if thay want to go on walks and explore
About: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years. I have a dog of my own as well and know how important it is to be able to trust who you are leaving your companion with. I care for each pet like they are my own and make sure they are cared for while you are away! I am able to accomodate the schedule and routine you need for your pet's needs and am able to be flexible to ensure all your pet's needs are met! I am able to accurately follow all directions you leave when caring for your pet in your home. If dog walking services are what you are looking for, I am able to walk as long as your pet needs!
About: I have two senior dogs, one recently adopted and the other I've had since he was a puppy. I'm well-versed in dispensing medication and being attentive to the needs of all dogs. I've been around dogs for 30+ years and tend to gravitate towards them, and them to me. I'm off work Friday Saturday and Sunday so I'd be a great resource for those weekend getaways. I work 10 hour days, Monday through Thursday so those days are a little trickier but I do have the chance to stop home halfway through the day I am open to pets staying in my home and check ins/walks. My two senior dogs are very adaptable and accepting of other dogs. I have a fenced in back yard, a big comfy couch, 3 water sources and an enclosure to separate during eating time, if needed. They are on a 6a/6p breakfast/dinner/medication schedule. For check ins and walks, unless there is a fenced in yard the pet will be on a leash at all times. I'll take on walks, dog parks, hikes, whatever the need is.
About: I took care of my dog during his last days and since 2021 have been house/dog sitting for friends of friends to help them out. I have 1 dog named maisey, she is a lab/pitbull mix! I also volunteer a lot to dog walk at shelters! I currently am a tech in the ICU so I only work 2 12 hour shifts a week, I usually try to schedule around that. I am in nursing school but with summer coming up, I will be free! I will be at the house majority of the time and I usually try to get them to like me and not be nervous by giving them treats!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals from shelters to patients in the work field. I have received an associates in veterinary technology and am fear free certified. I love getting the zoomies out and the tail wags going for a positive, safe, and happy time. I’m currently working full time, where i can be available in the later evenings and weekends. Days may vary and may be available throughout the day. I understand new people can be scary to our fur babies, but allowing time for them to get to know me on their time will allow a more stress free time. I am able to love, care, provide medication, crate, feed, and walk your pup.
About: I deeply care about animals. I own 2 cats myself and they are my everything. I treat other animals the way I would want mine to be treated. I just recently graduated from Purdue University and I’m looking for some extra money to be able to move. I’m free all the time so taking care of pets would be perfect! I know the signs of when an animal wants to be left alone or when they want to play. I would never leave an animal unattended.
“Victoria did a super job with our dog Scout. Scout has high energy and she spent quality time with him to keep him busy. She provided updates with pictures, and kept us informed. Will book with her again if she is available.”
