About: I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I have base access and can also get them to the vet if you can’t get away from work. I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.

About: I recently got to experience what being a fur parent is all about! I never understood what the bond really meant until I had to say goodbye to her. Her name was Bee, short for Beatrice and she was my roommates dog at the time and the more I got to know my roommate the more Bee became my bestfriend. I was fortunate enough to love her, she was the sweetest dog I have ever met and I hope one day to have a bond like theirs when I get my first fur baby!❤️ What sets me apart is that I'll always treat your pets like family, because in the end that's what they become:) I am currently working 5 days out of the week from 2pm to 6pm every week on base!:) I'm off every weekend! So please don't hesitate to reach out if pet care is needed!:) I currently take care of 2 dogs, Bear and Minnie:) I make sure they are fed and given plenty of water always, I take them on walks to use the potty or just to get outdoors, Bear is 4 now so he has a bunch of energy:) They also get spoiled with endless toys lol but I try not to spoil them too much with treats lol. I also used to watch and look after my old roommates dog, his name is Umai:) he's a Shiba. He was the cutest wittle boy ever! Lol

About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

Charlie was great! She sent daily photos of the cats and dog and texted any time she had concerns. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her.

I can’t recommend this app enough. We have had so many great experiences with Laura in particular! Our pup just loves her to pieces! I don’t know how we could do this without her. She is always punctual and accommodating to whatever we might need.

About: I have fur babysitting experience over the past year. I understand what it’s like to have to put your full and undivided attention into a child to ensure its safety and well being, and do nothing different with the pets I take care of. They will be no need to worry when I’m taking care of them. Currently working part time and in school at CSM. Can be very flexible with scheduling to ensure the pets get the proper love and affection that they deserve and need. I give the pets constant love so that they don’t feel down when their owner isn’t home. I understand that pets can feel sad or get into a rut when their parents are not home, but I will do everything to make sure they feel nothing but love. I send lots of photos so you will feel connected while away.

This is the second time I have had James come and care for my cats while I am out of town. He was very communicative and gave detailed updates and pictures of my cats which was really nice. I would definitely recommend him if you need cat care!

About: I've had and taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. My current dog, Bruce, is an 11 year old Australian Shepherd. We also have Daisy, a 1 year old calico cat. I love walking dogs and playing with both dogs and cats, as long as they want to play! I'm retired now and have time to share with your fur-babies. I'm active and love to walk with my dog all around our neighborhood and am looking forward to meeting your dog and discovering new walks. I am responsible and will be respectful of your property when I come for drop-in visits and to take your dog for a walk. If you are out of town and you need me to bring in mail or pick up news papers or move the trash cans back from the curb, just let me know, I'll be happy to do that too.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I would be honored to care for your pet friends! I currently have two sweet cats that I adore, and I frequently watch my family’s Havanese dog. I also have experience pet sitting and walking larger dogs, so I am comfortable with pets of all sizes. I have experience working with all ages, from helping with puppy and kitten training to providing gentle care to elderly pets. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. My pets have big personalities, so I understand pets’ unique quirks and am happy to follow any special routines. Just let me know how I can help! My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My Rover calendar is up to date with my availability, so don’t hesitate to reach out for any pet sitting, dog walking, or drop in visits. During visits, I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, litter box care, or walks. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always respect my clients’ homes while providing loving, reliable care.

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently working a part-time internship related to my major for school. This internship only takes up 15 hours of my time during the week. I am available to play and care for your pets any time during the weekend and when I am not working. As I do not have my schedule yet, I estimate most of my time will be spent with your pets in the evening during the week and whenever we can make work! I am very flexible. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve previously worked in two separate boarding kennels over the last 3 years, applying care to all sorts of breeds, sizes, and ages! I’ve also fed, bathed, and cared for my own dogs all my life. I am currently not working, this ensures that I will have all the time that your pet deserves during the day and night to spend with them! I can easily adapt to any environment. Within your home I will respect the way you have things set up and I will be sure to follow any requests you have!

Zenie is such a sweet and kind soul! She was really great about sending updates with photos of our pups. Zenie also did a great job at cleaning up muddy prints from the floor since it was a little rainy while we were away. 😊 She even left a such a thoughtful note and "ducked" me since she is a fellow Jeeper. We look forward to booking with her again!!
