About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! I will be out of the country starting Sep 6 until mid November. I will have access to internet so if you are looking for services after mid-November, then please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

“My pup had a great time with Juliet on her walk. Juliet is communicative and committed to giving your pet great care - would happily book again!”

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been pet sitting since I was ten. I also worked at a doggie daycare throughout college, so I have formal training in managing the needs of various breeds/sizes and in managing groups of dogs! I’m currently in school, so I have lots of flexibility to hang out with your pet, help them get their energy out, and remind them that they’ve got a friend while you’re away! I have done lots of pet sitting gigs where I stay the night with the pets in their house and also where I just drop by to check in on them. My apartment is not pet-friendly, so I can’t keep them at my house but am happy to hang out with them at yours!

About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my entire life. They’ve taught me how to be patient and understanding when it comes to dogs being in new surroundings with new people. Dogs have trauma, reactions, and behaviors similar to humans, but just expressed differently. My own dog is reactive (leash/towards other dogs), so I have learned techniques to lessen her fears. She— along with other dogs that have been around me— have made me an adaptable dog person who will help your dog feel comfortable and supported while you’re not around. Hi, I’m Barbie! I’ve grown up with 45-65lb rescue dogs my entire life. While I have a soft spot for bigger dogs and bully breeds (the more misunderstood in media, the more I love them), I adore animals of absolutely every shape, size, and species, and have experience with dogs of all ages/sizes (limited experience with seniors, but would love opportunities to increase my professional experience). My greatest (and favorite) teacher is my own Malinois/Lab mix rescue, Padfoot—an intelligent, high-energy, and dog/leash-reactive fur baby. Because of her, I am fully equipped, patient, and hyper-vigilant when handling dog/leash-reactive/energetic dogs. Whether your dog pulls, barks, or just needs extra personal space (and positive reinforcement)) on a walk, I know how to keep both of us safe and stress-free. I promise to treat your dog(s) with the same passion, love, advocacy, and care, that I give Paggy. If you want a highly reliable and sitter who understands canine body language and deeply respects your dog's unique quirks, let's connect! In the effort to be fully transparent, I’m currently searching for a full-time job. However, I’m here to build genuine, lasting relationships! I fully intend to continue any walking/day-sitting needed on a part-time basis. I can stay at your home for 2-3 hours at a time (multiple times during the day) and walk your dogs one at a time. While I am SO excited for the opportunity to walk 100lb+ dogs, I can only safely walk gentle giants that do not pull. If you have a yard, I will supplement any high-energy dog with enrichment activities and plenty of fetch. I cannot dog sit overnight since I have my own fur baby.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best care. I am attentive, reliable, and focused on giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. In addition to general pet care, I’m comfortable with senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. I often walk to the park, which give me the opportunity to interact with dogs from other neighbors or friends. I really enjoy these walks, where the dogs can socialize and explore, making me feel comfortable taking care of them in the future. Also, during our outings, I always make sure to be attentive to the needs of the dogs I meet, giving them quality time and exercise. My approach is always in an active environment, full of love and respect, and I’d love to share that with the pets. I live with my two daughters, and we’re always looking for outdoor activities. We love going to the park, where we play, run, and explore together. When I care for a pet, I make sure they enjoy these walks and have a great time. I provide a safe and comfortable space at home, with lots of attention and love, and of course, I enjoy taking them to local parks where they can socialize and burn energy. At home, they feel like part of the family since my daughters are also very affectionate with the dogs. Every day is a new adventure for us, and pets are always welcome to join in on our daily activities

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since childhood and love meeting new animals. My ideal weekend is spent walking a dog or hanging inside with a cool cat. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet all the love and attention they need in your absence! I am available most weekends at any time. I work full time in government and am looking to build more experience with pet sitting through my weekends. I care for my pet cat Layla by understanding her needs. Pets are incredibly expressive and I enjoy trying to read Layla’s emotions through her body language/vibe and give her what she needs…usually it’s treats

About: I’ve had 3 large dogs since I was young, am experienced with strong/quick running dogs, and love to care for animals! I understand dog body language and dog behavioral principles and am excited to build relationships with clients and their pets. I am a college student! Wednesdays and Weekends work best for me but I am flexible. I do not have a car and would prefer clients who are in walking/bus distance. My campus is spacious with safe neighborhoods surrounding it that are perfect for dog walking! I would love to provide drop-in services to your pooch! Understanding your dog’s routine and the rundown of your house is ideal for me to provide the best service I can.
