About: I have worked intensively for 3 years in dog daycare with as many as 30 dogs in a room. Before that I’ve always been an avid dog owner and caretaker for as long as I can remember. I work mornings during the week, so I am available after 1:30 pm weekdays. I am very punctual and reliable, and deeply care for a dogs wellbeing! I prefer to care for pets in a client’s home, although I’m sure there can be some exceptions, although I don’t have a huge amount of space

About: I love dogs, cats and all animals and have enjoyed pet sitting on Rover for the past year. Currently, I work during school hours as a teacher's aide and my afternoons and evenings are pretty free. I also have weekend availability for walks, pet sitting and house sitting. I'm very attentive and can adapt to your pet's usual routine. I always try to leave spaces exactly as I find them and always strive to provide a gentle, caring environment. I had a mini poodle for 17 years and cared for him from his puppy days until he passed in 2020. I also grew up with cats and rabbits. In addition, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums. I work part time during the school day, so my usual routine with pets I board is that I walk dogs before work, then come home on my lunch break for a quick walk, then do an afternoon and nighttime walk. I have a fenced in yard and live with my mom, who is retired. There will almost always be someone around to dote on your pet.
About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and I have always loved animals! My dog, Rosie, is a reactive Lab mix and I have had a ton of experience managing dog reactivity through her. I have a lot of patience and attention to detail, and I will make sure your dog’s needs are met and they have a great time hanging out with me! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs! I am available to house sit during the day through the evening hours, and am always open to discuss other times as well! I understand the importance of structure and routine for dogs, so I will make sure to follow every set of instructions and guidelines within your home so that your pups have the same routine while I am spending time with them!
About: I have either owned or taken care of dogs since I was very young. I began dog sitting around 10 years ago. I can come to your home or do in home visits. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes from Cane Corsos to Bassett Hounds and many more. I currently work part time as a crossing guard in my community. That gives me a lot of extra time especially in the summer to care for my animals as well as others. I have a separate room for cats to stay in that has a screen door. They can see out but not get out as well as my cats can see in but not get in.

About: We recently lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed. We have a fenced yard and I have experience with senior dogs where extra care, love and medication may be needed, and am totally fine with larger dogs as well.

Courtney F.
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Courtney Fernandino as a pet sitter. For the past five years, Courtney has been caring for our pit bull, Queenie, and we could not be more grateful for the dedication and compassion she has consistently shown. Queenie is a very challenging dog—highly reactive to other dogs and requiring both firm discipline and genuine affection. Finding someone who could meet those needs was no easy task. Courtney not only met them, she exceeded our expectations. Her ability to build trust with Queenie and handle her with both care and confidence is truly remarkable. Courtney has stayed in our home for extended periods while we were away, and she has always treated our space with the utmost respect. She feeds, walks, and tends to Queenie with such attentiveness that our dog genuinely adores her. It is rare to find someone as dependable, responsible, and skilled with animals as Courtney. We have relied on her for years and have complete peace of mind whenever she is caring for Queenie. I recommend Courtney without hesitation. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care.”
