About: I've own pets my whole life. From dogs to Kamoto Dragons to good fish. I take pride in having an animals love and attention. Patience is key. I currently am working on my food truck and have much down time as it's being built. I've been offering service for friends and family during this summer and it's been great.

About: Hi Fur parents! Here’s a gist of my experience my journey 15 years ago when I started dog walking for income. I went into the animal career field for college and studied to be a veterinarian nurse. I worked for dog day cares, had daycare in my own home, and worked for several animal hospital as a veterinarian assistant. When I changed my major to clinical psychology I still wanted to incorporate my passion for animals in my life even though I wasn’t going to continue with the Vet Med. I still wanted to use my knowledge and love for those little paws! So here I am, My family and I work as a team we love getting the chance to provide care for our clients. This is a great option if you prefer your dogs and cats in the comfort of someone’s home for less anxiety. From my profile you can be assured I love long walks with dogs and having your pups in my home. I am a dog mom to a beautiful pup in heaven Furby & mom of two Queen kitty cats Rodger and Hermione. I have a great amount of background knowledge medically, behavioral education, and experience from amazing loyal clients over the years. If you are looking for long term relationships with your pet sitter look no further. Our clients are family, they will be treated as family as well. I hope you have a wonderful day thanks for checking out my profile! I am currently a crisis counselor for a mental health treatment center. So naturally coming home to your positive fur babies would be lovely! I am home everyday between the times overnight-2pm. I work 3-12am four days a week. I am off 3 days a week (Wednesday,Thursday and Friday) when I am not home 2 other individuals with animal experience will also be present in the house. My mother as well as my fiancé will be present when I am at work to help out and ensure your furbaby is not left alone too long! We are homebodies so we will be with them majority of the time! I take so many pictures and videos in case you haven’t noticed! Lol! I send pupdates daily I love sending and capturing their stay. I have an unfenced yard which means I will walk your furbabies for potty time. I usually keep them active with other pets or provide individual play time/cuddle time . With your permission we may take field trips to trails, parks, pet smart for treats, if weather permits!

About: I’ve always had dogs & as we all know love and enjoy the beauty they bring to our lives. I lost a pet in 2023 and know the anxiety and stress that can come from leaving your pets with someone new. I promise to love and care for them as they are my own. Happy to send lots of photos and videos as well! I work remotely full-time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet lots of love and attention! I am able to take pets any day during the week and on Saturdays. I have a large fenced in yard for plenty of outdoor play, and a great walkable neighborhood. I have my own miniature dachshund (Opie) & German shepherd (Jax) who are the best of friends and love to play! Happy to provide bathing, and blow drying at request.

About: I've dealt with animals of all sorts. From Leopard Geckos to Labrador Retrievers! I've loved animals all my life. I currently own a Bearded Dragon (reptile), a Pitbull mix, and a Lab mix. I've always been obsessed with learning all I can about animals. I love learning about the personalities of all the dogs, cats, and reptiles I've met! I'm sure I will love your pets as much as you do! I'm currently a college student, I use the time I have between classes to stop in and provide potty breaks, snack times, or administer meds! I know quite a bit on doggie body language, and will be sure to read your pet and give them what they need! I love animals and respect them deeply. I am very caring toward all animals I meet, and very flexible to the needs of your pet!

About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the summer and have been unable to get traditional employment due to a surgery in May. The surgery wasn’t serious but it required time off that traditional jobs wouldn’t offer. I have a car and have no problem going to and from the home. We have two levels in our home and would be able to offer separation from my dog. I have a yard with 4 friendly neighbor dogs and 2 parks within walking distance. Additionally, one of the parks offers a dog park.


About: I am currently the owner of a goldendoodle named Koa . I have had dogs my entire life from Golden Retrievers to Cavapoos. I love spending time outside with my dog and can provide the appropriate attention your dog deserves. I am available most days of the week as I am a consultant who works from home. I am very patient and loving towards animals. In addition, I am also very close to local dog parks and if you'd like, i'd love to take your dog there to be able to socialize with other dogs. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home as a consultant and have ability to give your dog that attention he/she deserves. I am able to provide excellent attention and consistent walks. My dog Koa is allowed on the furniture and is truly a member of the family. You can expect the same care and freedom for your dogs if they are to stay with me.

rachel f.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my high-energy, high-maintenance Bernese Mountain Dog while I was away! My pup can be a handful—rambunctious, a little spoiled, and full of personality—but Rachel handled everything with patience, love, and total confidence. She is incredibly reliable—she showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all care instructions to a T, and kept me updated regularly with texts and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and dependable hands. Rachel clearly understands dog behavior and treats animals with the same love and care as their owners would. My pup absolutely adored her and was clearly comfortable, safe, and happy the whole time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals, I can’t recommend Rachel enough. She’ll treat your pet like family—because that’s exactly what she did for mine.”
