About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I am willing to keep special needs pets and am able to give medication. I am open to discussing any special requirements your pet might have. I live at home with my mom and this is my only job. I am free to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I have a lead in our yard for potty time and live near a dog park for fun and exercise. We will take walks, having brushing time to bond, and have lots of play time. I do have a dog kennel available inside and will have food and water bowls for your pup. We do have cats, so please make sure your dog is cat friendly.

“Thanks so much for getting Roxie today!! I got lots done and could relax knowing she was having fun with her besties!! I love the days she goes to your place because I know I’ll be able to sleep well that night! She comes home happily tired out every time ❤️👍🐶”

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been around them. I’m very skilled in dealing with all pet ages, cats and dogs, and all kinds of different breeds. I’m very caring and love to take care of pets the best I can. I will make sure I do any caretaking to the absolute best of my ability. I have a very strong work ethic I am a very vigilant caretaker and provide lots of attention and love. I currently am taking time off from my job and graduate school so I have open availability aside from any personal life obligations. Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle and I have plenty of time to dedicate towards exceptional service. I partake in daily pet care at my parents' home in many ways. I help with cleaning the cats' litter box, picking up messes/accidents around the house, and making sure to clean up animal hair with plenty of vacuuming and laundry. I also love to play with them and provide plenty of cuddles! Additionally, I have gained experience in pet care with our dog Coco throughout his multiple leg surgeries and providing 24/7 care when he was unable to put any pressure on his leg or walk. We have also had sick animals in the past that I have gained experience with. My parents also like to travel and I am the go-to house and dog babysitter during their times away. In regard to providing pet care at clients' homes, I have a year of past experience on Rover. I am always diligent about following all instructions and requests, and providing the level of care needed for each animal. Cleaning the home is also important to me and I make sure to prioritize leaving the home cleaner than I found it. I am detail-oriented and value going above and beyond with communication and exceeding my clients' standards.

“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”

“Violet had a great day at daycare with Kevin! We knew that him and Taylor would be the perfect sitters for our frenchie puppy knowing they had two French bulldogs of their own and knew all the intricacies of possible health problems they could have and what to look out for. We felt completely at ease knowing these Frenchie parents were taking care of our girl. We had a great experience and would recommend them highly! We’re super bummed we will be moving and not able to continue to utilize their services!”

About: IVDD-experienced dachshund mom with hands-on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high-energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm, structured care, closely follow routines, use crate training when appropriate, have a fenced yard, and offer IVDD-safe handling, walks, interactive play, and regular updates.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.
