About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, worked alongside a professional trainer, and raised my own Pitbull and I am now raising a Havanese. Experienced with multiple breeds, puppies through seniors, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I maintain a flexible schedule while job searching, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship throughout the week. I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.
“First time using rover, I have a rescued pit and wasn't sure how she would react to a stranger Monica came over to meet jade before the appointment and she took to her right away she played ball with jade and took pictures cant say enough about her. would definitely hire her again”
“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”
About: I’ve had pets in my house from dogs & cats to fish & turtles my whole life!! Whether it’s raising a litter of cats, cleaning up accidents, or administering oral medication, I’ve done it all. While I’ve only taken care of friends’ pets a handful of times, they’ve been impressed by my thorough care & effort every time! I’m currently job-hunting and out of school, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My only setback is going to church certain days of the week, but otherwise I can be available anytime! I understand that every home is different & can adjust to your setup & layout easily, no judgement here! Just let me know what it is you need done for your pet/house and I can do it.
About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! I don’t have pets of my own so that I can spend time taking care of so many others. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂
About: I stand out with patient, personalized care, experience with puppies and seniors, strong communication, safety focus, and dependable routines that keep every dog happy, comfortable, and understood. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I schedule walks, feedings, playtime, training, and check-ins consistently, making sure every pet receives reliable, loving attention each day. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine feeding, walks, play, medication, and comfort. I maintain a clean, safe environment and give consistent, personalized attention.
“Five-star service! Zharah is honest, dependable, and truly meticulous. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is happy and well-exercised. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Always on time," "Consistent," "Flexible with my schedule” So grateful to have found Zharah! Her patience and compassion are unmatched.”
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd and Siberian Husky. I now have two dogs that I adore. My babies are apart of the family. I have experience with small, medium and large breeds. I pay a lot of attention to dogs body language which allows to see when their uncomfortable or want something I work remotely, full-time. this allows me to walk my girls four times a day and play with them throughout the day as well. this also allows me to give them cuddles throughout the day I have a fenced backyard that your loving pet will be able to run around and and have all the fun. In addition, they will be walked four times a day. I have a dog room that has a Furbo (Camera) which allows me to monitor the pups while I run errands. It also loves me to throw them treats!
