About: From terrier temperaments to retriever antics; high prey drive; fear aggression or strong willed; I have the knowledge to care and work with your dog or equine/ livestock. Can handle puppies to geriatrics. Able to play/reward puppies to gentle care for elders. If I pet sit for you, I ensure your dog is walked and played with to release energy as well as taking care of your home; collecting mail/ packages and keeping everything tidy! FYI, I don’t walk 2 large dogs at once- only 1 at a time. Also, rover doesn’t allow me to differentiate service radius between house sitting and drop-ins; hence, if a drop-in request is beyond 13 miles, the mileage and gas isn’t compensated by my drop-in fee. I showed AKC confirmation from 1994-2014; managed a 50-dog kennel in the 90s; and also have 13 years as a legal secretary. In my youth, I showed horses and French lop rabbits. I showed, trained and bred top winning American Stafforshire Terriers and Chesapeake bay retrievers. I did 22 AKC champions. Available days and/or nights. I am retired and have time available. Happy to pop in for check ups, walks, feeding as well as spending nights and taking care of your home. I care for any pet in accordance to the guardians exact wishes. I’m experienced to know when an animal is unhappy, ill, needs to potty/rest/bored-play. My world revolves around making animals happy content

About: I have cared for dogs in all stages of life. I really love dogs and the bond that is created between a dog and its owner. I have a border collie who needs daily stimulation and training. I have a daily routine with pet care as I have a dog of my dog. I think a big part of pet care is physical activity so I definitely try to do that every day. My dog roams free in my house because we have built trust to allow that to happen. Boundaries are set either at my home or a clients’ home.

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I love being outside and seeing happy dogs on walks! I grew up with a dog that I loved dearly, and enjoyed nothing more than spending time inside and outside with him! Since his passing, I have gotten a little over a year of experience petsitting and dog-walking, and am looking to expand and help more families keep their fur babies happy! Whether that be by dropping by for a walk and some tummy rubs, or hanging out while you’re on vacation, I am ready and excited to help out! I’m a high energy person who loves playing with and caring for dogs; please contact me if you think I could be a good pet for your best friend! I have also become a big cat person in my personal life! I have cats of my own and I love them very much. They both have some minor medical conditions that require prescription feeding and monitoring, so I am used to sensitive kitties who need a little extra love. I would love to help care for cats in the area, so other cat people can travel and vacation and have time away from home knowing that their furbaby is well cared for and loved in their absence! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am available throughout the day for feeding, walking, playing, and relaxing with your pets! I am very detail oriented and can ensure that the care your pet receives from me mimics the care they receive from you, to keep your furbaby comfortable and relaxed while you're away!

About: I’ve spent years caring for both my own dogs and cats as well as those of friends and family. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra care, I’ve gained hands on experience adapting to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s managing medication, keeping up with playtime, or offering quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and thoughtful care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and maintain clear communication with owners so you can trust your pet is in capable, caring hands.

“I recently used Larrissa to walk my dogs , and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the first interaction, it was clear they were professional and passionate about pets. **Communication:** They were very responsive to my inquiries and took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and routines. Even assisted me with using this app for the first. **Reliability:** My dog walker was always on time and even provided updates and pictures during walks, which made me feel reassured. **Care for My Dog:** My puppy dog, Banks is still getting to everything, but Larrissa handled him wonderfully. He came back happy and tired after the walk. I am watching the dogs now just snoozing on the cameras. **Flexibility:** They offered flexible scheduling options, accommodating my last-minute changes wit. Overall, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend”

About: I have been taking care of my own pets and others my whole life and take pride of in quality of care I can give them. I believe caring for each pet is different and will cater to specific needs. I got my own dog when he was a puppy so I feel comfortable teaching puppies or any age dogs basic commands and skills. I am a part time student this summer so I will have plenty of time for your pet! I am available all days of the week with the exception of Mondays and Wednesdays. I am happy to walk, play, and make drop in visits with your pets to keep them happy and healthy throughout the day. In the clients home, I am very respectful of all the rules and instructions given. I take note of all the pets needs and ensure that I am making a conscious effort to cater to those. I will contact the owner before I bring in any outside treats or food for the pet and ensure that when I leave they have plenty of water and other materials to keep them happy until their owner returns.

“Brianna is so thorough and conscientious, thank you!”
