“Abigail is very talented and very knowledgeable person. My Shepherd Harper loves spending time with her and Abigail loves her time with Harper. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone to have her help train and take excellent care of your pets”


About: I worked at a kennel service in high school and have cared for friends' and neighbors' animals for numerous years. I am a professional groomer working in Waterloo. I have taken an animal behavior class and a pet first aid and CPR certifying class so I can keep your pets safe and happy! I am a dog groomer, though currently unemployed. I can be home with your pet as much as they need! I typically get up between 9 and 10 but will adjust to your pet as needed! I will nurture your dog or cat's natural instincts by allowing them to play, exercise, and explore in the safest ways possible. Specifications and rules are, of course, up to you but I believe in letting the animals be animals when possible! I have education in the body language of dogs and cats and am also pet CPR and first aid certified. I work my hardest to create a comfortable experience for you and your pet while you are away.

About: I am an experienced and trustworthy pet-sitter, dog walker, and animal trainer. With an education that qualifies me as a certified reward-based dog trainer with the skills and talent needed to train anything from service dogs to search and rescue dogs, you can expect nothing less than the best care for your fur-babies from me. As a Doordash driver, my schedule is very flexible and I can find the time for you and your babies just about any day. Let's talk! When in a client's home, I will be sure to stay alert and mindful as always. I can offer play, feeding, treats, pets, cuddles, brushing, and more! I am a firm believer that animals deserve the greatest care possible, and will do what I can to provide that top-notch care and attention, made even more effective with my ability to read the body language of animals.

About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.

“Nicole’s been walking our large energetic dog for a couple months now. She communicates really well and is very active walker! We are always quick to recommend her. She has a very flexible schedule and always sends multiple pictures.”

About: While I am new to Rover-I am not new to taking care of pets. I’ve been in your position. I have been blessed to have had an amazing cat and the sweetest dog for 12+ years. Peace of mind that your pet is cared for, when you are away, is invaluable. I’m here when you need me. I am semi retired. I will be happy to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I can also help out with daily things while you are away such as bringing in mail, taking out garbage, watering plants etc. in the past I have been helpful in cases of power outages (food spoilage) and water heater leakage mishaps. Once established, I would consider longer stays for pets who require more companionship. Respect and Responsibility are of utmost importance to me. I value the meet and greet process and look forward to providing the best service while you are away.

About: Must love dogs! ( and kids). Always a fun stay here. Fenced in yard and lots of love. Must be great with other dogs. Senior golden here. I work during the week and my wife is home and my wife works on the weekends and I'm home. Two 8 year old girls who adore animals are also here. Regular potty breaks. Regular walks. Lots of love. Free rein of the backyard if needed. A full water bowl and two full squares a day.


About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent of much of my personal time learning about different breeds and pet care. I also volunteered at a shelter for four years and have experience grooming in a professional setting. I have dog sat for many families in the area and have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and special needs dogs, as well as cats. I am currenty working on an as needed basis and can set my own schedule, so I can plan my time around your babies' needs. I try to keep care and routine as similar as possible to your pet's typical day. I also try to give as much extra TLC as possible because I know your babies miss you and need some extra love!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats as long as I can remember. My family and friends ask me to help them out all time because they know they can trust me to love and care for their fur babies ❤️ I love walking my neighborhood and the local parks and would love for your dog to join me! I have two older boys who also love dogs and would give them lots of love too! I plan on substitute teaching part time and take on smaller painting jobs in my community but I will be in and out of my home during those times to check on the fur babies. I have a lot of down time in the winter & summer when I would be home often. I love to walk so your dog can come with me! I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play in that backs up to private woods so it’s peaceful. I have a crate if needed.

I care for pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel part of the family. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that means feeding times, walks, or favorite toys. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure their pets feel secure and cared for by providing consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I always follow specific instructions from the owner and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!
