About: I bring a calm, confident energy that pets naturally respond to. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog who needs a gentler approach. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs, special routines, and administering medications if needed. What really sets me apart is my attention to detail and the love I put into everything I do. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique habits and needs so they feel safe and at ease. I also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can offer plenty of bathroom breaks, play sessions, and supervision—especially helpful for puppies, senior pets, or dogs with separation anxiety. Caring for animals adds so much joy to my routine, and I truly love making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine. Mealtimes, walks, play, and rest. So they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I treat the space with respect and make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to. In my home, pets have a safe, cozy space to relax, with lots of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I keep things clean, quiet, and low-stress, and I always provide regular updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“Fritz was amazing. We were nervous about leaving our 5 month great dane. We were able to watch video updates and see how much fun he was having which put us at ease. Will definitely use him again. Thank you Fritz.”

“I was doing a 10 mile hike at Letchworth which is too long for my puppy to hike. Emma lives very close to the hiking trailhead so dropping off my dog was very convenient. Emma and her pup were wonderful hosts. My dog seemed very happy to be there for doggy daycare. Great value for the price. I will definitely book again.”

About: Hi! My Name is Sam I’ve had pets my entire life and for the last four years, I’ve started caring for others I recently just joined Rover and am excited to be able to help care for more animals while their families are away. I have experience caring for puppies, dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Growing up, I had a Pitbull, German Shepherd, and a Chihuahua. I also grew up with a cat that had special needs and rescued a litter of kittens and provided all necessary medical care to the four kittens to ensure they were healthy and able to be adopted to great homes. From pet sitting, long or short walks, and boarding I’ve got experience with it all! My goal is to make sure your animal enjoys their stay away from home and is as comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have for your pet, administer medications if needed, and of course give your pet extra love and attention during your time away. Your pet will get lots of walks, cuddles, and attention. They have free range of the home unless requested from pet owners we do not crate any pets in our care, and we work from home your pet will never be alone! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 6 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well.

“Kate does a phenomenal job taking care of my special needs puppy. She is attentive to Lucy's needs and gives honest feedback on the days' events. She tells me if Lucy has had walks, poops or naps during the day. Her photos are also meaningful and taken with care. I appreciate her time and dedication to care for my baby. I will continue to have Kate watch Lucy for as long as I can.”

“Very satisfied with Barbara’s care of our senior Yorkie. Barbara was quick to respond to messages and she followed some pretty detailed instructions to the letter. And she sent several pictures during the day.”

About: I used to raise a pug of my own since he was born. He lived until ten and half years old and passed away in 2023 due to hemangiosarcoma. He had it growing slowly over time for few years until the end. There is not much treatments to it which was frustrating and heartbreaking. But he had lived his best life and actually lived his life to the fullest with his silly, wild, and stubborn personalty along with his three legs. He will always be my half and in my heart forever. I am sorely missing him forever. He had been taken care of with plenty of food, love, attention and toys! He met so many people, other dogs including cats! He traveled to many places because he loved to explore! His favorite thing to do is sniff every plant in the nature and mark on them! He is fond over stuffed toys. I take him to vet regularly as necessary to keep tracking on his good health. I also has a lot of experiences with medium to large size dogs before such as black lab, German sheperd, and pit bull. I believe that dogs should be treated as family members with care/love and they are so much alike us emotionally. After all, I am a crazy animal lover and love the compassion/company from furkids. I have plenty of treats and toys for your loved furkid to play with! I love to walk the dogs through the nature trail, too. You are more than welcome to contact me about my dog/cat sitting service! Available almost 24/7. I currently work four overnight shifts a week, but I do sleep five to 8 hours and often woke up to do errands around the house to take care of everything. So, I am mostly available at all times for anything except sleep hours. I tend to sleep at 8am to 2pm or 3pm, but after I woke up, I always check to feed, refill fresh water, and take the pets to restroom and check around the house. My place is near to some parks with long trails which is great for dogs who enjoy the walk! My place have a large space in the neat wooden floor basement (first floor) which will be a great play pen! The basement have the light windows and doors to the backyard! We also have large living room with big couch which our pets love to jump around and play! As for cats, I have a large bedroom which is quiet with door locked at all times. I often access to my bedroom everyday. My cat is currently loving his cozy life in my bedroom with everything of what he have including his own famous cat tree!

About: Dog Boarding with Cheyenne’s Animal Services 🐾 Where your pup stays safe, happy, and treated like family. Welcome to my home! I’ve been working professionally with dogs for over 8 years, and boarding pups is something I truly love. My goal is to provide a cozy, enriching, and structured home environment where your dog is treated like one of my own. 🐶 What You Can Expect: ✅ Required Meet & Greets – specifically for dogs over 30 lbs. I want your pup to feel comfortable and for everyone to be a good fit to avoid any ruining of any plans! This gives us a chance to meet, discuss your dog’s needs, and introduce them to me in a less stressful manner! 🐕 Dog-Friendly Guests preferred – I have several well-socialized, gentle resident dogs who welcome our guests. To keep playtime positive and safe, I only accept dogs who are social with other dogs. 🏡 Fenced Yard + Creek Adventures – Dogs enjoy supervised play in my fully fenced yard (never left unattended). When the weather allows, I also take boarders to a nearby creek for some extra fun and swimming. 🛏️ Comfort & Structure – Dogs are allowed on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to! Crate-trained dogs are preferred for meal times, as I do not allow group feeding. All pets must come with clear feeding instructions. 🧠 Experienced, Caring, and Attentive – I’m highly skilled at reading dog body language and preventing issues before they start. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs who need oral medications, and offer basic obedience help for puppies during their stay. 💊 Health & Safety First – All boarding dogs must be on flea and tick prevention with some form of proof, as my pets are protected as well. Whether your pup is a young social butterfly or a gentle senior needing extra care, I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. If you’re looking for a home away from home with structure, affection, and real dog experience—you’ve found the right place! Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! 🐾 —Cheyenne I have a very flexible schedule and there is always somebody home unless we go out for a short 1 hour function (typically grocery pick ups) Message me for any questions! Thanks so much! Fully fenced backyard with sprinklers, pools, toys (for those who don’t resource guard) we are very accommodating for behavioral issues in the pack! I have a large creek that runs through my yard as well. We have a fenced area and I take dogs on leads to the outskirts of the fence and to the creek! Feeding is all done separately as I do not allow my dogs to eat together. Potty breaks are every hour-two hours!

About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!

About: Experienced Pet Caretaker: From Puppies' Playtime to Senior Pill Prowess! I have cared for many puppies, as well as our Seniors. I love to play with the puppies, however, I love making sure the seniors get the cuddles and treats they desire! I have a senior in my own home and administer daily pills, multiple times per day. I also have a pitbull puppy who will run herself ragged outside while chasing balls, gardening, and just running around. She also loves hikes and walks! I run my own massage business for in home massage. I am only working three days a week for a few hours at a time. Taking care of the pets is really easy with my schedule! I can carve out as much time as they might need in my day. I aim to keep there routine as normal as possible. I am very flexible in making sure I can do that! I personally feed my own dogs two times per day (morning and night). I have crated my dogs at night for many years, but that is because they love their space. I don't mind having the animals out and about if that is what they prefer! I love to take my own animals on several walks per day, especially with apartment living! We can do anything from short walks to long hikes. I also have had to give my own dogs medications and am no stranger to senior care.

About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.
