About: I grew up in a small, rural, community in Vermont. The common practice was to just have the neighborhood kids do everything: alter serving at the local church, babysitting the kids, and petsitting when people went out of town. In my neighborhood, spread out over fields and forests, I became the default petsitter. I've been watching dogs and cats since middle-school and have enjoyed spending time with pets because my parents wouldn't let us adopt a cat until I was in high school. Now, as an adult I'm always the go-to friend for petsitting when people go out of town. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet!! I'm a graduate student writing her dissertation. My time is super flexible (available every day of the week, early morning until early evening) and I'm looking to visit pets to lower my blood pressure, provide structure to my life, and make your life easier in the process. I'm also a runner, so I see it as a fun challenge to make pet stops part of my daily exercise routine. As a graduate student I am really detail oriented and am good at following directions, including those you leave about proper care for your pet and your home.

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a second year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! My schedule for school keeps me pretty busy, but I do have time to fit in some pet sitting jobs! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!

About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.

About: Growing up surrounded by canine companions has been a cornerstone of my life. My experiences span across a diverse array of breeds, ranging from the majestic Huskies and German Shepherds to the adorable Chihuahuas, Pitbulls, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Danes, Yorkies, and more. My expertise extends beyond just appreciation; I've actively participated in the training of dogs, helping them master basic commands with patience and care. In addition to my broad background, I bring a compassionate touch to every furry friend I encounter, treating each dog as if they were my own. My commitment to their well-being goes beyond the ordinary – having personally cared for a dog coping with epilepsy, I am well-versed in administering medications and providing specialized attention. Whether it's overnight care, invigorating walks, or engaging playtime, I'm here to cater to your pet's every need. I'm even open to taking your beloved fur baby to the dog park for some extra excitement. Thank you for considering me as the potential new best friend for your cherished canine companion! I currently don't have any pets but I am the go-to petsitter for all my friends and neighbors. From cats with dog personalities to dogs with cat personalities I care for them all. I live in an apartment downtown but I love having dogs here, I love to take them on walks along the river nearby and have my own bowls and blankets that get cleaned every time a new dog comes over. When in your home I like to learn their routine and try to keep them on their normal schedule.

My only other obligations are being a wife and taking care of my 16 year step daughter which is flexible! I would care for your pet like their my own, i’m very attentive and I’m open to lots of detailed instruction I would take lots of pictures and just making sure that your best friend is as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life, and raising my own dog from puppyhood has only deepened my love for dogs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, so I’ll care for your pup with patience, attention, and plenty of affection while keeping you updated every step of the way. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I work full time from home and may be able to step away during the day. I’m available evenings on weekdays and any time on weekends. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in their familiar space and routine. Since I work remotely, I can often stop in throughout the day to check on them, refill food/water, and give some playtime or a walk. I will treat each pet to how I would want someone to care for mine, spending quality time and not just a quick in-and-out visit. I follow your instructions closely and send all the photos you want so you can ensure they are in good hands and how your pet’s doing.

Absolutely outstanding Rover sitter! Nick is incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely dog-smart. He took the time to understand my dog, were thoughtful about his individual needs and personality, and handled everything with an impressive level of care and understanding. I really appreciate his patience and willingness to work with him, and it was clear that he truly care about dogs—not just the job. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced with dogs.
