About: I'm a stay at home wife, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to check on your four legged friend. I love all pets, and have never met one I didn't like. I've been taking care of pets my whole life. I had a business as a pre-teen, and I always get asked by my friends and family to watch their pets. I'm a stay at home wife. I had a car accident 2 years ago, and I broke my back. I did a good amount of physical therapy, and my healing has gone well, but I didn't want to return to my job in a bakery. My husband decided to support us, which leaves me free to pursue passions, like pet care and amusemant. I treat my pets like people. I talk to them and listen to them. I work very hard to earn their trust. Cats, I get low to their level and let them look in my eyes, scent my hands. Dogs, I allow to smell me and greet me.
âKeri has been an amazing find for us! She responds quickly, is accommodating and flexible! Love that she tailors her approach with each dog needs! Highly recommend her!â

I am someone who will treat your pet with the same level of love, kindness, and understanding that I would with my own! Iâm here to lovingly care for your pets. While always making sure their safety is high priority. I currently am lucky enough to have a sweet 4 year old female husky named Piper. She is an absolutely joyâ¤ď¸ I want to note Piper does not come with me on pet sitting bookings. My roommate is able to watch her while Iâm away. My neighbors and family members have always relied on me when going on vacation to take care of their pets overnight for extended periods of time. I would always be the first to volunteer!

My goal is to make sure your pet gets the loving care, consistent attention, and safe environment they need!

âCooper enjoyed his walks with Alexandra , because he went with her the second day without hesitation . He loves being outside. I'm sorry it rained those 2 days and it was kind of miserable. Alexandra saved me, because I'm sick and didn't have the energy to walk Cooper.â

About: Growing up in wild and wonderful West Virginia, I worked on a family farm and took care of friendâs and familyâs pets. So it was natural that I developed an affection for animals. I fell in love with my own dog, a Labrador Retriever, at 16 and named him Bucks! Iâve taken care of many different types of animals besides cats and dogs, such as Guinea pigs, chickens, iguanas, sugar gliders and more! In recent years, I was employed in a dog boarding and training facility called âThe Happy Retriever.â Then I was able to gain more pet care experience working for another pet sitting business named âHeart and Paws Pet Sitting.â I am presently a proud member of Pet Sitters International, thru which I have completed Pet First Aid & CPR training and have ongoing education in pet care! Sunday - Saturday Iâm a proud business owner and a full time pet sitter! I love all the furry friends I get to make in all sizes and continue my pet behavior and wellness education so I can provide the best care possible! I keep my visits with your pets as close to their usual routine as possible and I treat them as you would! Sometimes a different route for a walk is a good thing and builds confidence in your pet! It all depends on your petâs needs and everyoneâs comfort! I would like to see your pet be healthy and self confident! I have pet sitting insurance as well! Scheduling meet and greets before any services is the best way we can go over the routine and build trust with you and your pet!
âMegan is extremely responsive, kind, and responsible. I will absolutely be asking for her services again in the future! I highly recommend her. My pup loved her walks! Thank you, Megan!â

About: Hi, my name is Gabby! I am a huge animal lover and I find so much joy in caring for peopleâs dogs and cats. My family took home our first dog, Bandit, when I was 7 years old. We have since adopted 2 cats into our home. Apart from that, I have been caring for peoples dogs and cats on Rover for over 3 years and have been a reliable sitter for friends and family since I was 10. I know the special love and attention that goes into caring for dogs and cats, both young and old. Your pets will be given daily walks, fun in the sun, and trips to the beach or nature trails if allowed. I understand how worrisome it can be to leave your fur babies behind. Rest assured, your pet will have my undivided love and attention. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, giving me plenty of quality time to spend with your pet and the flexibility to adjust my schedule according to your pets schedule.

About: Hi! I live with my boyfriend and we love watching dogs! I already have one dog and treat her like a princess. She gets along great with other dogs and it's nice to have that time with another pup. We do have a cat! Dogs naturally listen to me well and I've been watching and taking care of dogs for over 10 years. I moved to the Seattle areas from Alaska about 3 years ago. I'd love to take the dogs out to the park, hiking, running, or just to the dog park. We have a dog door and yard for them to play! I live in a home with a yard and dog door. I work during the day partially in the field and at home. I work most of my day in the field and take paperwork home. I try to be away for less than. 6 hours so I can get the dogs out. Now that I have a dog door Im not as worried but I can easily keep it closed as well. I have a big fenced yard and a well sized home. No carpet and a couch. I have some construction in the house going on.

Corrine has exceeded our expectations. She's a great person who genuinely loves dogs. Corrine has been taking our dog Daisy for walks for the last four weeks. It hasn't been easy as Daisy is a high energy pup and was recovering from surgery. Daisy needed to be kept from jumping/ running. Corrine was very patient and was able to give Daisy what she needed while spending extra time with her after her walks. Daisy immediately bonded with her. Corrine, thank you so much for all you've done. I'm so grateful for you.
