About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie. We breed and raise pedigreed Mini Rex, and pedigreed Netherland Dwarf bunnies for showing and pets. My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. I'm currently a stay at home mom who homeschools a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet during the day and he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. Can make special accommodations for boarding pets that don't prefer other dogs as long as they aren't dangerous. Our dogs stay on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. We do have some caged pets but they will be in a separate part of the house during boarding 🙂
11. Jess M.
“Jess is fantastic with animals. She has a great love for them and it shows in how she cares for them. When Jess watched our dogs one time, she FaceTimed our daughter because it was her first time leaving them overnight without her Dad or me watching them. I highly recommend Jess to care for your pets.”

About: Hello! Welcome to my page! I am experienced with caring for everything from mice to horses and 18ft reptiles. Specializing in puppers and equine of all shapes, sizes and personalities. Currently own two shepherds and a chiweenie. I am looking forward to helping keep your furbabies happy while your away. I am currently working from home so that will free up my schedule to assist with your care needs. My schedule is fairly easy to adjust. My personal puppers are spoiled couch potatos and avid toy chasers. If your furbaby prefers cuddles on the couch to an full hour of outdoor play then so be it. Walking, tug o war, Frisbee, tennis balls, you name it and we can make it happen
14. Tiece M.
About: I recently moved home from Los Angeles, where taking care of anyone’s pets is a full-time job. It was a transitioning job In LA until I found a permanent job. I feel in love with taking care of dogs (or any animals) AND this became my permanent job. I have a cat, 2 small dogs, a pit, as well as a salt water and fresh water fish. I do currently work part time, but can arrange my schedule to match yours. I would like to start pet sitting full time once again. I can care for pets in their home. Feeding, walking, playing, distributing meds, cat litter change, fish feeding..anything an animal needs I can help accommodate.
15. Virginia J.
About: Energetic person looking to take care of energetic dogs. I love animals and love to take care of them. I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve had a variety of breeds like Chihuahua, German Shepherds, Beagle, Terrier, Retrievers. Many of my pets were abused and shelter animals. I have experience with both large and small dogs. I’m comfortable with Mastiffs and Rottweilers. Most dogs love me even ones that are typically shy around strangers. You won't be sorry hiring me. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I think they can sense when a good person is around. I think dogs are one of the smartest and most intuitive animals around. I love to play with dogs and love taking them on walks. We can even play fetch or cuddle, whatever they like. You can trust me with your dogs and have no worries they are being taken care of properly. I will be your pet’s BFF. My schedule is flexible and I am a non-smoker.
16. Julia C.
“Julia is by far one of the best. She is responsible, respectful and goes above and beyond to take care of your fur babies. She loves pets of all shapes and sizes, her communication skills are great and she make sure you’re completely comfortable with your pet care. Highly recommend!”
17. Paige A.
“I've known Paige almost her whole life, and can say she loves animals. As a child, she had a pet hamster until her parents finally allowed the family to get a dog. Even at a young age, Paige was always taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs and other pets. Now as an adult, she often volunteers to take care of her friends' pets for free just because she has not been able to have a pet recently but loves to spend time with them. She is reliable and responsible. I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter on Rover!”
18. Carolyn G.
“Carolyn kept our two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers for 9 nights in September 2018. She has such a caring manner, and treated our dogs like her own. Her children were so pleased to have them there, as was her dog, Melvin, who welcomed a playmate. She is home during the day, and has a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. She even texted us photos of them swimming in her pool. Our one dog has arthritis, and she gave her massages. She goes above and beyond to make the dogs and their owners feel at ease. It was so great to go out of town, and not have to worry about our fur babies. Looking forward to using Carolyn's services often. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
19. Jaime B.
“My dog is an integral member of my family. I cannot in good conscience leave him at a Kennel. It is too stressful on my dog and on my family. I interviewed and tried several pet sitters to care for my dog in my home while my family is out of town. I heard from friends that Jamie B. was “amazing”, “loving “, “caring” , “reliable and trustworthy “, so I had Jamie B. care for my dog in my home over several long weekends. Each time, Jamie B. was wonderful! Jamie B. has become part of the family. My dog does not stress out when our family leaves town. My family and I relax and enjoy our time together because of Jamie B.. Jamie B. is responsible and loving. Jamie B. goes the extra distance to ensure my dog is fed, gets fresh water, exercises, walks, plays, is spoiled, loved, and petted. Jamie B. Has bathed my dog and administered medication without issue. If you’re fortunate enough to have Jamie B. Sit and/or walk your pet, you and your pet will be thrilled! Reasonably priced too! Without qualification, I recommend Jamie B.”
20. Ashley R.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own, varied ages, and even a pig! But I have been around animals as long as I can remember. My partner won’t let me get any more animals, so I would love to care for all of yours instead! I am a teacher and looking for summer, and break, work. I am practically available all day! I would be a fool to not do something that I love to occupy my days. I have a very energetic 1 year old, fully vaccinated, puppy that would love to run around with your fur babies. She has a bigger brother and sister, so size is not a problem for her. I also have 2 cats of my own so have experience with both.
