About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs as well as being a trained canine handler. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I used to work at a dog daycare and have been trained heavily with dog behavior. All dogs will be allowed to run around and engage in supervised play unless they are not dog friendly. All dogs will be cared for on an individual basis, because each dog has different needs and behaviors. I am also able to take dogs that have special needs medically or behaviorally. Dog owners love that I do not discriminate against certain breeds or behaviors dogs may have. I am able to plan their stay so that the dog has as much fun as possible with the least amount of stress as possible! I am also an AKC certified dog trainer I currently work from home so I am available almost all day during the week and most weekends. I have a flexible schedule so I can move things around to accommodate most requests. I love to go on walks and get energy out. A tired pup / cat is a happy pup / cat. I also love to cuddle and hang out if that matches the personality better.

About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.

About: I am a teacher on summer break! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and visit their dogs during the day.

I will be available most weekdays and some weekends. I can visit and provide walks during the day. I am available at various times for feeding and playing with your pet. I love to provide a friendly, safe, and fun experience for your pet. I love interacting with pets. I usually go over to feed, give fresh water, and provide bathroom breaks.

About: Hello! My name is Brandi. I grew up on a small farm with a variety of animals, which is where i found my love for animals. I have 8 years experience of veterinary nursing, where I have had the opportunity to deal with every different kind of dog and cat. I love to be outside so rest assured that your fur baby will get all the fresh air they need. I am very excited to get started on this journey with you and your fur baby! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am currently at work part-time, so by pet sitting with rover, it allows me to have time to relax with more dogs and cats. I currently do not offer boarding in my home. I do however have some availability for in client home stays. Please message me for availability and we will discuss your pets need at that time.

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

“Hank and I really appreciate Janine! She works with my Schedule and last minute bookings. Hank loves her and looks out for his walks!”

About: I’m 26 years old and have had pets my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to earn extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Last year, I completed four veterinary assistant courses and hope to begin working in an animal hospital or veterinary office soon. At this time, I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and occasional in-home house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and most other pets. I always keep pet parents updated with photos and Rover cards, and I respond to messages as quickly as possible. I know how reassuring it is to have consistent communication while you’re away, so I make that a priority. Please note that if my response rate appears low, it’s due to filtering out scam or spam messages—I do respond to genuine inquiries the same day. My schedule is very flexible and I have some availability every week. At the moment I'm mostly available for drop ins and walks but can occasionally do house sitting. I'm open to long term arrangements for walks and drop ins as well! The first thing I do is take them out for their walk or potty break. Then when we get back inside I give them their treat and then I rinse out their water dish and give them fresh water. Then I do anything else I was asked to do for that specific pet like change puppy pads etc. Then If the pet has toys and likes to play i'll usually play with them for a bit before I leave by throwing their toy or tug of war or whatever they like.

“I’m never disappointed. Max can’t contain his excitement whenever he sees her. He comes back happy and tired allowing me to get through my work day. I don’t know what I’d do without her.”

About: I have had and worked with dogs my entire life, from puppy to elder dogs. I have had big dogs my entire life, such as German Shepherds and Labs. I mostly work afternoons twice a week, as well as doing some occasional other jobs, so I will most likely be able to spend a lot of time in your home and do drop off visits in the morning and evening. I am an online student, so I will not also be going to class on top of my job. I am able to work with young puppies to elder dogs with the ability to give pills. I can work with dogs of all sizes, from big dogs to small dogs. I am available to sit for your dogs in your home, as well as exercise with them through walking, running, or playing with them. I do not have dogs come into my home. I am also available for last minute dog sitting or drop-ins. I have open availability, so I can spend plenty of time with your pets! I have great time management skills which allows me to attend to all your pets needs as well as give them the attention and exercise they need to be happy, especially when you are away! I offer in your home house sitting, drop-in, and dog walks. I feel that it keeping pets feeling the most comfortable is when they stay in their home, and I feel that they includes keeping them on the same routine!

About: I have had many types of pets, dogs, cats, fish, and rodents. I have a lot of patience which allows me to care for stubborn pets as well as kittens and puppies. I have had both large and small dog breeds and am comfortable with both. I’m currently a student, but I only have classes for about 3 hours a day so I am very flexible. I also work part time in food service but my schedule is flexible and can be adjusted as needed. I care for every animal and pet like they are my own. I show them all equal love and attention and pay close attention to body language and signals that animals give. I respect animals and work with them so they feel comfortable and safe with me!

About: I have tons of experience with pet care . I’ve been working with dogs for about a year now. I’ve developed skills in feeding and grooming. I’m knowledgeable about different pet needs, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. I’m currently working part-time, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on weekends and weekdays. Flexible with times during the days. I would provide a loving and safe environment. My approach includes regular feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and daily walks to keep them active and engaged. I play close attention to each pets individual needs. And of course always ready to give them lots of love and attention!

About: I offer a reliable, dog-friendly home where your pup is treated like family. With a fully fenced yard for safe play, cozy dog cots or couch snuggles, and plenty of love to go around, your dog will feel right at home. I also have experience fostering puppies, so I’m comfortable with all ages, energy levels, and personalities! I am a teacher, so I’m currently on summer break with open availability. I am looking to help other dog owners out with their fur babies. We have a fenced in yard and dogs will be able to freely roam on the main floor of our house. Depending on your needs, the dog can either be crated or uncrated at night.
