“So I just want to say that Dean goes above and beyond to make my puppies happy. I was a little cautious about having someone come into my house while no one is home but from the second he stepped out of his truck I felt like my house and my pups would be safe. He’s great about working with your schedule and ultimately just wants your pups to get the love and playtime they deserve. So happy we found you, Dean!! He also sends me a picture of my dogs like every time he goes there which makes me so happy.”

About: My dogs and I have been through AKC certified obedience training I'm experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time Can housesit and care for dogs with special needs Providing positive reinforcement and tasty bribes is my main method of gaining trust with a new dog friend. I'm open to meeting and discussing all forms of service ahead of time I have a flexible part time job that is generally from 9 - 4 Monday through Friday. These times are flexible so if you have a question about a particular day feel free to ask My 2 dogs and I walk almost everyday around our neighborhood just to get some adventure and smell some new fire hydrants. My house has a wood 6' privacy fence around the backyard and I have time to them out 5 or 6 times a day for bathroom breaks or to just run around an play. My dogs started being crate trained as a puppy but as they have grown older and more trusty we use them less and less. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and treat training to bond and build rapport. I feel comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes and would prefer to take care of new dogs in their home environment first. My dogs: I have a 6 year old 60lb female Portuguese water dog -- She's a big napper, cuddler and loves cats. My 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.

About: I have lived with pets my whole life, ever since I was a kid I have had at times even 5/6 pets between cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I have lots of experience with dogs that come from shelters but also with training puppies that come from breeders. I have a cat in my house right now but he has lived with dogs before so he won’t have any issues making new friends. I am a responsible and reliable person, always updating the owners of their pet’s wellbeing and making sure that they have the best time while staying with me. I am currently not employed and looking for a job from home to be able to continue taking care of other’s pets. I am very active so I will always make sure your pets get the right amount of exercise based on their needs. I have a fenced yard but I am also very active so I go on several walks every day. I will take your pet out daily but also give them the opportunity to play in the yard. I have a small pool for pets when it get too hot as well.

“Makenna is the best! She’s so sweet with my dog and he absolutely loves her. She’s quick to respond and updates her availability consistently. I will be recommending her to my friends and family :)”

About: I’ve taken care of my Boston terrier for five years and taught him potty training. I’ve also walked neighbors dogs in my local neighborhood and truly enjoy giving each pet love, attention and care. I’m currently a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I can care for your pup mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m available Monday through Sunday and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of love, belly rubs, and walks. I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in every environment.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of dog personalities and behaviors, including large breeds, strong pullers, high energy dogs, dogs with strong prey drives, reactive dogs, and dogs that may be uncertain around other animals or unfamiliar people. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys lots of social interaction or prefers space and slower introductions, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also have a Golden Retriever of my own and personally use Rover for my own dog, so I truly understand the importance of trust, communication, and peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. No instructions or routines are ever “too much” for me because I know every dog is different and what works for one may not work for another. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while also making you feel confident while you’re away. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking so I can better understand your dog’s routine, personality, and needs while also making sure we’re a great fit for each other. I believe communication and consistency are extremely important when caring for someone’s pet. My partner and I provide care together, which allows for added flexibility and availability. My partner stays home full time while I work, and on weekends, holidays, and after 5 PM, both of us are available to help care for the dogs. We do ask that meet and greets include both of us so we can fully understand your expectations and ensure your dog is comfortable with everyone involved in their care. I work weekly but I am off on weekends and holidays. I am home by 3PM from work and come home during my lunch. I leave for work at 7:30am. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly golden retriever. I live in a neighborhood that is great for long walks and there is a dog park nearby and many open fields.

About: I have taken care of special need dogs, bottle feed litters, elder dogs, and medicated dogs. I am available for all of the above. I also provide walks and cuddles! John says I’m also here for daytime gaming - this includes couch surfing, talking about life and pettings! I guess I’ll take them out to poo too! Please send me a request and I will work you in. I have three doggies myself. Me and my husband both work together on some walks or separate as time allows. I have a fenced yard . I walk them and let them roam free in the yard. I also play ball with them to get the energy going. In your home- pets will be cared for as requested! Let me know your pet preferences! Walks, cuddles, playing ball in the yard?

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, through raising and training two dogs growing up, I also was the local dog watcher. After this I have happily walked and boarded dogs to help supply pet parents the best care for their needs while away! I enjoy spending time with animals and give them the love they deserve! I am currently staying at home so I can easily care for your pets! I am available for morning, afternoon and evenings to provide care anytime of day or night. I give our cats the best care in the home, they have trees, scratch pads, I am always home to change the litter box, and toys to play with. They are the sweetest cats! When I take care of other pets I make sure food, water, litter box or taking the animal outside for 30 min+ walk 2x a day.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life and have two dogs that are 10 and 4 years old. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. I understand the importance of having someone who not only takes care of your pets but treats them like family. I’m a full time college student home for the summer. I currently walk dogs every day. I also have extensive experience in overnight dog sitting. I enjoy spending time with pets including walking dogs and playing with cats. My first priority is to ensure that they’re well cared for.

About: I grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals and I’ve never not had a dog! I currently have a 6 year old golden doodle named Ruby that is my pride and joy. I work part time as a nurse, but when I’m not at work I’m hanging out with ruby- which is a lot more enjoyable. Let me hang out with your doggos too! i have a yard, large dog crates if needed, doggie swimming pool, and lots of furniture for the four legged friends to sit on! I work 1-2 days a week and have full availability the other days. Unfortunately, these days change every week, but I usually have my schedule for a month in advance. I live in a house on a couple acres that is surrounded by trees, so there are lots of little critters to look at from the front porch! my dog and i spend a lot of time outdoors, whether we are going to the beach or on walks.

“Shayne was an absolute lifesaver for us!! She came over and walked our dogs three different times on the weekend. We loved the communication she sent and the pictures!! Because of her we were able to enjoy a very special family wedding. Words can’t express how much our heart appreciated her time!!”

About: Hi, I’m Madison and I’m 24 years old. I’ve had pets my entire life, so I’m used to potty breaks, dog walking, feisty kitties, playing with pets, cleaning up after them, keeping them entertained, and everything else to do with the everyday tasks of caring for and dealing with pets. I’m a hard worker, have a very flexible schedule, and love all types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I’m currently taking a veterinary assistant course at college, and aim to start a career working with animals. There have been multiple times I’ve found dogs roaming in my neighborhood and helped return them to their owner. I’ve even helped a stray kitten find a good home! I’m very passionate about animals and will show yours all the love, attention, and care it deserves. Me and my boyfriend have one dog that we take care of as if he was our own child, so my daily pet care routine is pretty generous. Of course our dog is fed twice a day, walked daily, and given a lot of love. And aside from my boyfriend, I have two other roommates who also have dogs, so there’s always some puppy playtime happening If I were to care for another dog in my home, I’d definitely be paying attention to the dog’s behavior to see how comfortable he is in the new environment, and with meeting the dogs in my house. If he were not comfortable, or if the dogs were to not get along, I’d of course separate them. I’d most likely hang out with the dog in our spare bedroom to make him more comfortable. On the other hand, if I were to care for a dog in his home, I’d try to follow his every day routine as best as I could to make him as comfortable and happy as possible
