Saturdays and Sundays, I am available from 8am-5pm Weekdays, I'm available 12pm-5pm on Monday's and Wednesdays. I'm available certain holidays and will update the calendar.

About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.

About: Hi! I’m Gillian, a professional dog groomer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout my career, I’ve handled thousands of dogs, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for health concerns, and provide calm, confident care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or grooming services, I will treat them like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I work as a professional dog groomer during the day and offer pet care services before and after work, as well as on weekends. During house sitting stays, pets must be comfortable being alone for several hours on weekdays. I prioritize communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With over 8 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits! I’ve worked for 5 years in a clinic supporting a veterinary team providing treatment and wellness to all types of animals. In 5 years I learned how to read an animal’s body language and how to engage with all kinds of temperaments. I have previously worked in a kennel where I maintained the health and wellbeing of boarding animals with scheduled feeding, medication, and exercise. I’ve worked with non profits like the United States Humane Society working in a high volume setting providing medical care to numerous dogs and cats while advocating for animal welfare and wellness. I’m available for walks and house visits. I’m also available to provide daily feedings in the early mornings or the evenings 7 days a week if needed. My love and dedication to animals is one of the reasons I pursued this opportunity. I have had numerous experiences working with a variety of animals in different environments which makes me a great candidate to be entrusted with your pet! I’m always aware of my surroundings especially when working with animals in an unknown environment. I ensure your fur babies are safe and secured at all times with me.

About: I’ve had my own dog since I’m 7, he’s 12 now and I’ve cared for him ever since he was a puppy. We’ve grown up together, and he has taught me how to love all animals unconditionally. All pets deserve a safe space where they feel loved, at their own pace. I’ve done pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past few years as well. I have a very flexible schedule right now, and am able to move around plans and obligations for potential clients. I am happy to see your pets as much as needed, and as long as you would like. In your home, I would appreciate specific instructions on how your dog operates on a day to day basis: Do they like to eat at specific times? What’s their favorite way to play? Is there anything specific I can do to make them more comfortable? Anything you could think of that would be helpful for me to know, no matter how strange it could be (some pets have some interesting demands and I completely understand that)

Catherine is great! I knew from our meet and greet that she is a genuine animal lover! She immediately got down onto the floor to calmly and gently introduce herself to my cat. Dani went right up to her with confidence. Catherine took such good care of my Dani while I was on vacation. She made sure that she had plenty of food and water each day and tended to the litter box. Catherine took time to pet, brush, and play with Dani too. She also took a lot of great photos. I could see from the photos that Dani was thoroughly enjoying Catherine’s company and attention. I will definitely use Catherine in the future and confidently recommend her pet sitting services to others.

About: ⚠If you're new to Rover use my Promo code "XAVIEM67281" to get a 💲20 discount off the first service you use with me. ⚠ I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. Not a day goes by that I'm not taking care of the family pets or someone else's. I have walked, checked on, and baby sat dogs of all different shapes and sizes. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs, when she wasn't available. Took dogs to the vet when they had no one else to do it. And I have been a dog walker for about 5 years now. I have walked small dogs such as miniature poodles to bigger dogs such as pitbulls. Your furry friend will be in good hands. I'm currently working part time on Mondays through Fridays, but I have a flexible schedule. I'll feed and take the dog out in the mornings, and after work. During the weekend they'll have my fully undevivded attention through out the whole day I have a fenced in yard with several friendly dogs who will happily play with visitors. I also have some cats but they keep to themselves, lounging around in a separate room from the dogs. Your pets will mostly be under my watchful eye, for I will be home, most of the day watching them.

About: Dogs and cats are more than pets, they're family. I understand that more than anything and I will treat them with care, respect, and love. I work a part time job and have lots of time on my hands, so (unless stated otherwise), I'll be there for your furry friends! I don't mind transporting dogs in my car for the park or walking them around the neighborhood. And of course, I'll make sure they're well taken care of at home.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years and truly love being around them. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities — from high-energy pups that need long walks and playtime to older dogs who just want a slower stroll and some extra TLC. I understand how important routine is, and I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions you leave. I’m active, dependable, and easygoing, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pup is happy and in good hands. 🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I’m already active and build walks, outdoor time, and structure into my day, so adding dog walks, drop-ins, or check-ins works well for me. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be consistent with feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday visit, or evening check-in, I’m able to plan my week around making sure pets get reliable, attentive care. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not something I’m squeezing in. 🐾 Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules carefully, stick to walk times, and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise based on their energy level. Playtime, enrichment, and calm downtime are all important depending on the dog’s personality. In a client’s home, I respect the space completely — keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how I found them. I’m attentive to details like medication instructions, house rules, and preferred commands. Communication is key, so I always send updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾

I know how to work with all sorts of temperaments of animals as well as knowledge of giving meds such as insulin to a dog who needs a muzzle. I dream to run my own animal shelter/sanctuary . I Hope to hear from you and your furry friend(s)! I’m currently unemployed so I can stay with your fur baby all day if it’s preferred. I always want to make sure the owner and animal are comfortable. I always treat the home and the fur babies as if it was my own. Everything must be treated with love and respect. Always respect the animals space when they want it as well.
