About: I have been around and trained dogs ever since I was little. I taught my own dogs to do many tricks and manners. I’m skilled in giving dog medicine if needed. If your dog is nervous, I have the experience to make your dog feel comfortable and calm. I’m available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am available in the morning before 8am and the evenings after 4pm. I will do everything I can to help fit into your schedule. I would treat your dog like it my dog. I have pet sat over 200 different dogs. I know how to work with all kinds of different dogs and cats.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two joyful Standard Poodles who are walked and/or run with daily. We love staying active and having fun—our fenced, dog-friendly backyard is perfect for zoomies, games of fetch, and lounging in the sun. We even enjoy a little casual agility play for enrichment and variety! I work from home, which means your pup will get lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love to open our home to regular daycare playdates with other friendly dogs. Whether your dog loves to romp, sniff, nap, or play chase, they’ll find a welcoming environment here. We’re all about creating a happy, safe, and playful pack. Let me know if you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet—we’d love to get to know you and your sweet pup. I work from home full-time, so I’m always nearby. My weekly routine includes daily dog walks, backyard play, and plenty of time for cuddles and supervision. I have two friendly Standard Poodles who love to play and socialize. They enjoy backyard games, daily walks, and make great companions for visiting pups.
About: I have been pet sitting through Rover for 4-ish years now and love it! I personally have 3 cats and a bunny that I spend most of my time with when I’m not working my day job. I love all animals, and will try my best to accommodate their needs! Currently I work full time Monday-Thursday from 8AM-5PM. I typically take my lunch around 12PM, so there is also a 1 hour gap around there I may be able to squeeze a visit in. I know it is uncomfortable to have someone you are not super familiar with be present. Please be upfront about what is ok and what isn’t ok to poke around in!
