About: My parents had cats growing up and as an adult I have fish, a dachshund, and two buff orange tabby cats of my own. I have experience doing drop-ins and house sitting for friends and family. I love all animals, but especially enjoy checking in on cats in an enriching way when their owners are away. I am working full-time as a client advocate from 9-5pm. I could do drop-ins early before work or after 5:00pm most week days. I can do more frequent drop- ins on the weekends. I will always check water, food, litter boxes, and cat behavior for comfort and health reasons. I have no problem working automatic cat feeders, feeding raw, or other types of food. I will scoop boxes and sweep around them at each visit to maintain cleanliness. Play and enrichment are important to me, so I will engage your cat in play if they desire.

I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop.

I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.

Natalie is 5 Stars amazing! We came home to 3 tiny pups who were wore out from the fun and love Natalie brings with her. I felt she listened to what I had to say to make me feel better even though this chick knows her stuff!!! Our dogs loved her and I think disappointed when they saw it was us coming home and not her!!

About: I have experience in caring for senior and disabled dogs, especially blind ones. I have also reared and house trained two puppies to adulthood and are still with my family to this day. They can walk unleashed (never with your babies tho!) and even know protective commands. I am currently homebound so your doggy will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby and would enjoy a companion on walks in my neighborhood and in nearby parks. I always have leashes and body vest on the door at the ready for any potty breaks and walks, no fence no problem. Stairs and basements will be blocked off all times to ensure safety and rooms will always remain closed. For house guests, we have an end table crate to ensure visibility when I am just resting. There is a regular metal crate and a spare room dedicated to any overwhelmed doggy.

About: I have been doing this since i was about 10 years old. i’ve helped with puppies as young as 6 months and as old as 15 years. i work part time and my hours are 9am-2:30 pm on the weekdays and do not work at all on weekends. i am off during summers so i will have an open schedule from the end of may-beginning of august. I would feel more comfortable if i watched your pet at your home since i live in a tiny apartment, it wouldn’t be the best option especially for dogs. however we do have a pretty nice dog park that i can take them to if i am available for walks

About: I’ve taken care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs of all shapes and sizes! I absolutely love animals, and I’m willing to do whatever your furry friend needs. We have always had pets in our house, including one that needed long term care. If administering medication is what your pet needs, I’m more than familiar with it! I especially love big dogs, but like I said before…I love ALL animals, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have ample time to play with your animals! I run errands for my family as well, so frequent stops would be no problem! I am able to do whatever your dog needs as long as it’s at your own home. We have two cats, and it wouldn’t be smart for me to bring them here. However, walking, feeding, light grooming, and cuddling are all services that I offer!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experienced every stage of life. Whether you’ve had your dog for 10 weeks or 10 years, I’m confident I will be able to give the best care they deserve! I currently work full time, so my availability is 6am-8am and 7pm-10pm on the weekdays. I’d love to start my morning or end my day taking care of your dog! I’m not available Thursday evenings, certain Saturdays due to work schedule, and Sundays. I’ll make sure to update my availability as soon as know of upcoming events! We have always crated our dogs in the past so I am very familiar with crating and the safe space a crate can provide for a dog. When it comes to walking dogs, I believe in giving them the freedom to explore around them (sniff the ground, watch a squirrel, etc) while still remaining in control of the walk. I also make sure to stay aware of my surroundings to ensure there are no cars coming, children running by, or things blocking the path for us to continue our walk.

About: Hello! I am new here at Rover. I’ve had dogs and cats all throughout my life. When I was a kid, I rehabilitated hurt animals that I found outside or on the road-caring is second nature for me. In 2018 I adopted my dog Beauty, a black mastiff whom I had for almost eight years and sadly, she recently passed away. She is missed by many!!! So I am here trying to get my pet fill. I will always provide great care for your pets. I can’t wait to get started and meet your pets! Monday through Thursday I am available 730pm-midnight. I am available Friday and Saturday 9 am until 330 P.M. Sunday I am mostly unavailable. May have some wiggle room in the late morning. While caring for your pet, I will be sure to always keep an eye on them. I am very attentive and follow your instruction and wishes. I respect you as well as your pets needs.

About: The camradiere of people and dogs is a special bond. They love, unconditionally, and deserve the same, in return. Happy to be one of their 'accepted'. Monday-Thursdays are best, but not limited. I'm semi-retired, just said goodbye to my close friend, a 14 year old Labarador. Wanting to continue my relationships with canines. I will adhere to the wishes of the pet owner, and follow any specific instructions they give, for both pet, and home guidelines. Very respectful.

100% recommend Jennifer. We have a very nervous 50 pound Bernie doodle that likes to bark ferociously at strangers, but Jennifer was able to calm her down even though she was the first person to ever enter our house when we weren’t home and let the dogs out! She made sure they had sufficient time outside and even walk the yard with them. She brought them to their water and food bowls, and encouraged them to eat and drink. Then sat with them on the floor and gave them both individual attention. We are honestly overjoyed with the care that she provided and we will use her again, so should you!

Bree did an outstanding job keeping care of our beloved dogs while we were on a trip! She is very professional and she spend a lot of time keeping us properly updated with how our dogs were doing, and she also took incredible pictures to show how much fun they were having! She helped us with puppy training for one of our dogs and she also spend a lot of time playing with both of them on her visits. Definitely a perfect option for dog care and we for sure will be keeping in touch with Bree!
