About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.

About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.

About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I’m very responsible and have no issues cleaning after them, cleaning place of fur, etc. I love to walk and play fetch or tag-a-war with pups! I currently work in a school so I work best with late afternoon into the nights for those of you who work long hours, get stuck at work longer than expected, or work nights shift. I can feed, walk and just hang out with your pup so they are not alone. Once when summer hits and school is out, I’ll be available mornings & early afternoons too!! I make sure pets are safe while in the home or out on a walk; making sure they don’t eat, touch, mess around with things they shouldn’t. I also clean up after messes and don’t mind cleaning up if/when there are messes, if/when mud or dirt gets on them or inside a house or making sure a bunch of fur isn’t around.

About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.

Melisa was, in a word, AMAZING. We scheduled drop-in visits with her to keep an eye on our cat Clementine and Melisa wrote detailed updates for us and sent us a ton of photos, which we loved. We had a pee-incident on the couch that Melisa took in stride (thank you so much, again) and she really went above and beyond, helping put enzymatic cleaner on our couch so that the cat urine didn't just sit for two weeks, popping our mail inside and also keeping an eye on my plants. Stellar sitter and is 100% our go-to person from now on. Thanks again, Melisa!

About: I've been caring for my dogs since I was just a child and have always felt a deep connection to animals. I used to do dog walking for some time and have volunteered in a grooming location as well. You can be certain your furry friend will receive the best care with me! I currently stay at home with my son so I have a pretty open schedule. In the afternoon we go for walks in our neighborhood so we'd love to bring your pup along on a walk with us! We have a front and backyard which are both enclosed with a gate. It's pretty spacious so we'd definitely have a good time. At the moment I don't have a pet of my own- we recently lost our girl due to age at 15 years old. She was such a sweet girl and we loved her dearly. We hope to adopt another one in the near future, but for now I'd like to take care of other babies. You can be confident that your dog will be provided with my best attention. Maintaining his or her routine, such as feeding schedules, will also be my top priority.

"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since a young age, and it’s truly my passion. I have hands-on experience administering medications (both pills and syrups), treating minor wounds, and providing attentive care for puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I stay informed about pet health and well-being, and I can also prepare home-cooked meals tailored to their needs. What makes me different is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every pet—I understand they are family. At home, I’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and currently live with a sweet 3-year-old cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. I’m currently working part time so I have off days to dedicate to take care of your lifelong companion with love patience but also responsibility I have a 3 year old cat whom gives me companion and I also take her out for walks every day, back in home she has all the things she needs
