I couldn't recommend Kasey enough! She is very responsive and I knew my cats were well cared for while I was away. I appreciate how she took the time to play with and brush my boys - she really went above and beyond.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on care for pets of all kinds. I offer pet sitting in my home or yours, boarding, and dog walking. We treat every animal like our own, and pets truly love their time here. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as cats and even reptiles of all types. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!! I am available for overnights on the weekends when I am not at work so I have more time to dedicate to your sweet pet. I care for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I feed pets according to their usual schedule and diet, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow any instructions given by pet parents, including medications, special needs, or training preferences. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and know how to treat them with care and respect. I grew up with multiple animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit as long as it’s outside my work time (usually I work 1 or 2 days a week but other than that I’m free) I will care for your pet according to whatever instructions you give me and I will of course treat your pet with kindness and the love it deserves, just as you would.

Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians, I've care for most! Being aware and responsive to your pets needs is key! I do contract work so my schedule is flexible most of the time. Generally up late so don't mind odd hours. Also available for early mornings as well, schedule can usually made to accommodate. I have reliable transportation and can travel whenever needed. I'm comfortable and experienced in giving pets medicine or injection if need be, and I'm willing to adapt to whatever needs your pets may have.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have always had a great bond with each one of them. As of right now I have a big golden doodle, and a little Aussie doodle, I love them both so much. My friends make fun of me because I baby them so much, I take them on car rides with me all the time and buy them ice cream cones every now and then. I promise to treat your dogs exactly how I treat mine! I’m currently unemployed, I’m about to go off to college in about a month so I’m just trying to find something to do in the meantime to keep me busy. I do play sports though so that does keep me busy but I can kind of move around when I want to practice or train so I should be pretty available. Well I take both of my dogs for walks often. I have a aussie doodle who is little, and a golden doodle who is huge, so no matter how big or small your dog is I can handle them.

I have 2 dogs that live with me here and a dog and cat back home with my family! I have grown up with animals my whole life and pet sat for many family members and friends. I am an huge animal person so I would love to give service to anyone who needs it. I will do whatever needed to give your pets the best care possible while you’re away.

I will make sure the dogs and cats I watch/pet sit for have everything they need and regularly make sure they are taken out and played with. I work a normal 8 hour job so I would be able to come in the mornings/after work and evenings/nights. I also have most weekends open so I would be able to Hangout with your pet all weekend! I would be able to play outside and run with your dog as often as needed to make sure they get the play time that they deserve!

Kennedy was so amazing. It didn't give her the option to check in at the 9;00 check in on Saturday night but she was definitely there. Can you please correct her payment.

About: I'm not just a dog sitter/walker, I'm your dog's best friend! What makes me stand out? Well, for starters, I have a genuine passion for dogs, and I've made it my mission to provide top-notch care. I was grown up with Tibetan mastiff in the Himalayas. Very familiar with big dogs like mastiff, German Shephard, Husky, and small dogs like beagles. By paying me for dog walking, you are directly contributing to the education of childrens in Nepal. I am using all income from Roover to pay tuition and boarding of a boy and a girl from rural and remote Nepal. I work on daytime but can take a lunch break for pawfriends. Evening and morning time will be for your pups. Your pup is my guest. I have a yard that is not fenced but I live in a good neighbour where your pup can have a nice walk. I dont have any pet.

About: I’m a veterinarian that graduated from Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. I love to be around fur babies on my free time! I’ve helped friends with their dogs/cats/rabbits/guinea pigs while they are away on vacation. I'm keen on walking dogs twice a day and taking them hiking, to the pond, or for mini adventures around the park! My previous jobs have been in two veterinary hospitals (one of which included Banfield) as a veterinary assistant. I can give your pet the best possible care! I’m currently a proud owner of a a cute Ragdoll cat and a labrador retriever. I also like to be active and go on walks regularly so it would only add to the fun to have a special fluffy companion join me! My schedule is flexible can work around yours as well. Feel free to contact me! I currently work part time and love spending my additional time caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work days to accommodate for pet days. I can work easily around new areas, yards and homes. If there is a place your pet likes to go we can arrange to have him taken there for a wonderful daytime treat!
