About: I’ve taken care of my pets my whole life! I have a lot of patience and give a lot of care. I treat all animals like family I will be available to assist with helping others with pet care most of the day! I am a early riser and go to sleep late!

About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I understand that aging pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾
“So so amazing! We were super nervous to leave our baby girl for the first time and Brandi eased all of our nerves. Addressed all of our concerns, and was very communicative her entire visit! We will definitely have her back to take care of our pup again. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 4 years, caring for my energetic and anxious Belgian Malinois, Harley. Through her, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding how to meet a dog where they’re at—whether they need to burn off energy or just feel safe on a walk. Beyond my own dog, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I regularly watch my mother-in-law’s senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra gentleness. I’ve walked and looked after a neighbor’s dog, my cousin’s small dog, and grew up in a home with large breeds like a German Shepherd and a Mastiff. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a small companion dog, or an older dog who needs special care, I always adjust my pace and approach to fit their needs. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and happy—just like I would want for my own. I currently walk my own dog twice a day, so caring for pets is already a regular part of my routine. I can easily fit in additional walks or potty breaks during the day, making it simple to give your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a calm and pet-friendly approach, and adjust to each dog’s needs—especially if they’re anxious or shy. I treat your space and your pet with care and respect, and I provide regular updates so you feel confident and connected while we’re together.

About: Hi! My name is Amy, I am a new Rover user, but I have current experience from being a Wag Caregiver. I have worked with many pups of different sizes and ages, from big and small. As well as experience for dogs who pull, oral medicine administration, special needs dog care, and puppy care! I have much love to give, and can’t wait to make beautiful bonds and memories with your cuddle buddies!! I currently work from home so I’m home 24/7. So I have lots of time and attention to give.

Since I board up to 4, I do AirTag all pups that join me to keep track of all of them all the time. I remove them once it’s time for bed or even just in the backyard where I can see them all, and also before they go home :) I have a large fenced backyard, so lots of space for your pup to run around and go potty in peace. I have kids that are over the age of 9, they understand boundaries when it comes to dogs. I live in a little separate home away from the main house, so it would just me and your pup most of the time.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for. I only take one dog at a time, so they receive my full attention and a stress-free environment. Dogs are free to rest wherever they feel most at ease — on the couch, the bed, or their own cozy spot. I stay nearby during the day and am always home in the evenings to ensure they’re never left alone. Their routine, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
