About: Hello! My name is Zoe. My family have always had a pup while growing up. Each member of my family has a furry member. Currently I am the proud owner of our family dog. She is 12 years old and a Chocolate Lab/Blue Heeler Mix. As well as a proud auntie to a German Shepard, Pit Bull, & Doberman Mix. I believe our pets aren't just pets, they are family. I have experience caring and loving for all animals. My love for being outside and going for walks, as well as how deeply I care for every animal, made me want to meet and care more furry friends! I am very excited to meet your furry member of the family! I do work full time, Monday-Friday second shift. I also have a pup of my own that I will prioritize. My time available is a bit limited but my weekends and mornings are free to spend walking and caring for your animals! I treat my pup just like I would a child and I will do the same for yours! Before caring for your furry family member 1-on-1, I would do a meet and greet so you and your pup feel safe and we can build trust with one another!
“amazing!! super attentive, detailed check ins and lots of cute pics. took very good care of my cat and was very receptive to instructions and requests. definitely rebooking next time i’m out of town!!!”
“Josh was great! We needed someone to take our Rottweiler, Minnie, out in the mornings and evenings while we were traveling - just too much “dog” for my older parents to take care of. Josh was extremely caring to Minnie and made sure to send pictures & status updates after every visit. He fed her treats took her out for walks, and made sure she got some attention. It’s hard to find someone you can trust that can handle such a big dog. We were so glad that it worked out - we will book him again!”
“Erica was awesome! She was incredibly responsive and really took care of my cats while I was out of town. She uploaded photos each time, which was nice to see their fluffy faces. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 10. I now have 2 dogs and 3 cats who live in a house full of love, fun and affection. They are spoiled rotten and take up most of my bed. I am a middle school teacher looking to make some extra money for the classroom. Over summer and school breaks I have complete availability including weekends While my house is not fit for adding any more animals. I am always available to spend nights and hours in the home with fur babies, I love to cuddle with all the animals on the couch, play in the yard with them, take them on walks and help with feeding. I have three crazy cats who fight over food and have to be fed in 3 separate rooms so I am no stranger to all sorts of environments especially around food.
About: I have been around animals since the day I was born. I grew up caring for and having both dogs and cats. Since the day I could remember I have had a special connection with dogs and a passion to love and care for them. Our pets are our best friends, and they deserved to be treated as nothing less. I am 100 percent a dog person & fully understand the responsibility of caring for a pet. Prior to signing up on Rover, I have watched dogs for numerous families here in town. I have experience with puppies, old dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs with special diets. Additionally, I am very attentive to your dogs health. I know it can be stressful for a pet when their owners are away, so I make sure to pay attention to behavior, eating habits, and personality changes. I have doggie sat small dogs, medium sized dogs, and large dogs. The breeds I have experience with are pit bulls (my favorite they are SO CUTE), golden retrievers, black labs, german shepherds boxers, chihuahuas, and mixes. I do have a full time 40 hour a week career. I love my job!! During the spring / summer / fall months my schedule can be crazy. However, it is flexible. I’m able to adjust and make a walk or drop in visit work given the non-traditional hours I work each week. I’ve got my kitties in my home that I do their litter and vacuum every evening and they get fed a scoop in the morning and before bed. I have a fenced yard, although small, it works for my babies! I’ve got a senior dog who goes back and forth between my home and my parents farm and a second dog that I share with my ex partner. That dog is with me one weekend a month when he is away for work. With my senior dog I’ll just take him on short walks up my street and keep him moving. With the younger dog I’ll take him to trails or places in town where we can go on longer 2-6 mile walks! I always have a giant bowl of fresh water out both upstairs and downstairs and my dogs are allowed on beds and couches. I love snuggling with them!!!

We loved the fact that she lived close and would come over several times a day during the time we had a new puppy. She always charged us a flat fee which others wouldn’t do. My family never had any issues with er in fact I always thought she did more that asked when the dogs occasional destroyed a new toy.”

At a young age, Morgan was able to prove responsible and trustworthy to take care of her own pet, and would often be asked to tend to friends and family’s pets as well.

“Lissie is so good with animals. She has two dogs of her own and three cats. She is probably the best animal mom I know. She makes sure they have what they need and all the snacks. She walks them all the time and make sure they get all the outside time they need. So I can only imagine how she spoil other animals ❤️”
