Mia has been superior for us. Not only did she take an hour to meet and greet with us, she leaves great notes, is prompt, helped us in a pinch on late notice, and puts up with our two puppies antics. Would recommend Mia for any dog sitting. She impressed us with her knowledge of dogs and puppies.

About: I adore dogs so much. I have helped raise 4 dogs from puppyhood and I haves cared for senior dogs as well. I have tackled potty training, basic commands, and a few neat tricks. Your dog will be treated like absolute royalty with me, my favorite thing is pampering my own beautiful pups. I have never met a dog I don’t like and I’ve always lived with dogs so I’m exceptionally comfortable around them. I currently work mostly from home and I’m a part time dance teacher in the fall and spring. I can make myself available almost any day besides Sunday. I have two dogs, one 10 months old and the other is 4. They get to go on walks, drives, adventures to the dog park, and more. I treat dogs like kids honestly. We gotta burn energy and then make them feel comfy and loved.

About: Hello - I am Annie and I am 25 years old from Rhode Island. I have dogsat for families throughout college in colorado area. I have a 5year old Old English Sheepdog who is about 75lbs back home and a 60 lb goldendoodle puppy now. He needs about 1-2 hours of exercise a day so I understand long walks / playing in parks, etc. I am usually gone 6a - 5p at work so I try to avoid caring for dogs during the week with my dog at home. I would prefer to do more dog walking services or daycare on weekends so our pups can play, have a fenced in backyard so they can run around together.

Emma did everything we asked her to do with our energetic dog. She messaged us after every visit and took pictures to send to us. This was our first experience with Rover and we are very pleased. Hope to get Emma to set with our puppy again.

Casandra is prompt with communicating. She is a true dog/animal lover. Our two dogs imediatley took to her. She is confident, kind and caring. This is our first time leaving our dogs overnight, we were nervous. Casandras pictures and attention to details with notes reassured us we made a good choice with dog care. We will use her again! Thank You Casandra!

About: Please read through my whole profile and make sure I am the correct fit for your pet! I have been dedicated to animal care from a young age, always showing a strong passion for helping animals in need. Over 15 years ago, I began working with rescue dogs while searching for the right dog to adopt. During this time, I adopted my first and third foster dogs, later welcoming a third rescue into my home. I continued fostering dogs until 2018, by which point I was caring for five of my own, along with chickens, goats, horses, ducks, and other animals. Additionally, I volunteered and worked at an animal sanctuary specializing in behavioral modification training, focusing on rehabilitating dogs with the most challenging backgrounds. I am currently employed full-time, working 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I base my life around the well being of my companion! I love my dog and his happiness means everything to me. I currently work M-Thurs 10-hour day shifts. I walk my dog on a leash, unless im in an area that is safe for him to be off leash (Chena or Tanan Lake areas.) I do take my dog to the dog park for some socialization as i believe it is very important to keep him social with other dogs and humans. My dog does sleep on my bed. As far as taking care of clients pets, I will respect their wishes with how they want their loved one taken care of.

About: With over 11 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve provided loving, reliable care for cats, dogs, and small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes and cages, grooming, and offering companionship tailored to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a quiet walk, I make sure every pet feels loved and secured. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start each morning with feeding, fresh water, and a quick health check to make sure each pet is happy and well. For dogs, that means a morning walk or play session, and for cats, some enrichment or affection depending on their mood. I make time for check-ins, potty breaks, litter box maintenance, and interactive play. In the evenings, I wind things down with another feeding, walks, or quiet time. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and ensure consistency and comfort. In my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for each pet. I follow their usual routines closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and play habits. I make sure pets have clean water, a cozy place to rest, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m careful to keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I always take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide the care they’re used to. Whether I’m boarding pets or visiting during the day, I treat every pet like family. All pets must show proof of vaccination records in order to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets.
