About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Bradlei. She was incredibly intentional with her time with my dogs and made sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Her communication was excellent, and the detailed updates including a thoughtful report card from their walks. This gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was trustworthy, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. When I returned, my dogs were calm and relaxed, which says everything about the level of care they received. I’m so grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker”

About: I have owned a pup for 13 years and taught him how to be the best behaved dog at home - not to mention, I give the best doggy hugs and kisses :) My Fiance and I work from home all week so it’s usually not common for any dogs to be left alone. I give them all of my attention, and assure you are updated with all my pupdates!! I make sure to give them enough time outside, feed them, hydrate them, and of course give them unconditional love! Currently work from home and a very flexible job so I am able to provide most attention towards your pup and in general I have a lot of free time I got on multiple walks every day, I prefer walks over letting them out for potty breaks in a fenced yard. Getting their energy out on a long walk always calms them down a bit more throughout the day and I ensure they get all attention throughout the day :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always had a love for animals. My current dog, Ellie, is a 4-year-old Shih-Poo. Before Ellie, our family dog was Cora, who was also a Shih-Poo and lived to be 16 years old. I also volunteered at a local dog shelter for 4 months, where I walked and bathed dogs of all different sizes. I helped my dad train Ellie, and I regularly help with her bathing, walking, and grooming. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends while they’ve been away on vacation. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I would treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability for pet care is primarily on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 4 year old dog. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll also keep pet parents updated so they know how their pet is doing.

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. Although he has since passed, I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled. We currently work from home so we would always be home with the pets to hang out and take care of them. They could go out whenever they needed. At my home: have a fenced in yard and we have two pups that love to have fun running around and playing with other dogs. At your home: I work from home so I can be around all day to hang out and take care of your animals.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for more than 9 years, pets of my neighbors, friends and my own pets, I consider that they need the best care in the world as they give everything for us being our companions on this journey that is life, talking a little about my experience, I have taken care of small and large pets to bathe and feed them and walk them, I have training in the face of any altercation on the street. Being something that I like to do since before coming to this country is something that I want to dedicate myself to for an indeterminate time. I have a fenced yard and at the moment I don't have small children, so all the attention will be focused on pets for as long as they need it.

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, from parakeets, hamsters, frogs to dogs and cats. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets and homes while they’re away in both city and suburban communities. I’m responsible, dependable, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work part time, so my schedule and availability are very flexible! Whether is squeezing in walks or check in’s, overnight care, or a mixture of both, I’m confident we can come up with a manageable care plan. I follow routine! I am accommodating. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. I also respect their home and keep everything clean and secure.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and taking care of them is second nature. I see Rover as a way to interact & keep them in my life while not having one of my own at home. I already routinely take 1 to 2 walks during my day, so the addition dog walking or sitting fits rights into my daily schedule now. In your home, I am clean, orderly, and can clearly follow all instructions given. You will find your fur baby and your home better off than you left them before

“Charlotte took my little Shih Tzu on a walk this weekend and did a FANTASTIC job. She was super patient with my dog and really listened to my dog's cues. Charlotte is absolutely amazing with animals. There's no one I would trust more than Charlotte with my dog. I hope and plan to use her in the future when I'm in Chicago visiting my mother-in-law. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.

Jake has been excellent to work with! In just a short time he’s won over our dog Cooper who is both stubborn and has anxious. He’s also reliable, always showing up on time, and does a great job of communicating and updating us on how Cooper did on his walk.

I highly recommend this dog walker! Jacob is reliable, punctual, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. My dog warmed up to him almost immediately, and I feel at ease knowing my pet is in caring and capable hands. He provides regular updates, including photos and notes about each walk, which I really appreciate. It's clear Jacob pay attention to my dog's needs, energy level, and safety. Overall, an excellent service that has made my daily routine much less stressful.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fairmont. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
