About: I'm a certified Veterinary Technician with years of experience working in small animal clinics, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with all kinds of needs—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra love. I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up and currently have two pups of my own. I’m also an avid hiker and love taking dogs on walks and adventures in nature. Caring for animals is truly second nature to me, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I work online, so my schedule is extremely flexible—which means I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m available and nearby. Since I work from home, I can give your pet plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day, just like I do with my own two dogs! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and of course—lots of love and attention. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, give medications if needed, and keep you updated with photos and notes. For dog walks, I tailor each outing to your pup’s energy level—whether that’s a calm neighborhood stroll or a fun, energetic walk. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Lexi was very easy to coordinate with. She very helpfully checked in on our pups while we were in Seward!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young—dogs/puppies and cats. Very patient with younger animals or with more energy that require more attention and/or more technical care. I have a flexible schedule that allows the ability to stop in throughout the day. Available most weekends, early evenings and flexible throughout the day. With extensive experience with petsitting I’m very skilled in sensing the time needed and patience to build trust and a comfortable space and presence for one’s pets.

“I left a house full of plants and she took care of them well. Some didn’t make it, but that was more likely my fault. Great communication. My cat seems happy.”

“Izzy did a great job taking care of our dog. He's took to her as soon as she walked in the door on her screening meeting. He's 15 years old and has never allowed anyone to take him on a walk besides family, but he went with Izzy. We've already booked her for another trip we have next month.”

“Thank you Katy. I love how you got to know my animals. I would trust you to take care of my animals anytime. I did not worry because I knew my cats were well taken care of.”

“Sharika was excellent at communication throughout the weekend. She took excellent care of Vader and it allowed me to enjoy my time away. I would recommend her for care of your dog!”

About: I care for animals unconditionally. I am currently training my 10 month old Malamute and through this experience I have learned that I am able to read dogs really well. I have always had dogs, usually lots of them. My mom showed me how to care for them and is on Rover as well. She has probably taken care of your pet! I am experienced in medical care and I also stay very active (especially now with an arctic mixed breed around.) Most importantly, I am excited to get to know your pet and show them love and attention. My schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available during the week and typically off on the weekends. I will likely walk dogs in the morning and then at lunch and something longer in the evenings. When at my home, your dog will have a fenced backyard. There is a small unfenced section to walk through from our door. Depending on your dog we will pass through this leashed or unleashed (up to you!) My car is set up with a dog gate for safer trips to go hike on or off leash. We feed all dogs seperate from each other (you never know..) and will only go off-leash once your dog knows and trusts us. I am happy to learn from you about what cues your dog requires to stay close and safe.

About: I have been taking care of my dog for 14 years, I got him when I was 12, so I know a lot about dogs. I also practiced doggy sitting for 4 years in my country. Among my clients there were many dogs that stayed with me more than once. I will be happy to spend time with your pet too, I love dogs very much and therefore I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I promise to send you video and photo reports every day. My job takes only 6 hours a day, so I have plenty of time to spend quality time with your pet and I also have weekends I keep a close eye on my pets, I never let them off the leash when walking. If we are in the house, I make sure that the dog does not gnaw or eat anything, I try to always be in the same room as the pet that it was in my sight. I feed and walk the pets strictly according to the schedule provided by the owner.

About: I am a 41yo Born & Raised Florida Boy. Brought up on a farm with everything from chickens, cows, Horses, pigs, sheep to Chow chews, English Mastiffs & Pugs. I genuinely love all animals but Dogs in general steal my heart so fast. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies. I am also available to stay or visit your place if you feel more secure that way. I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do not have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to he as a family.

“Gloria once again to the rescue! She is so great with our pets. They are very comfortable around her. I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. From owning my own animals to sitting for friends and family. I have a great amount of knowledge in cat care as well as dog. I am currently available full time for pet sitting! I own my own kitty so I preferably cannot do overnights for more than a week at a time. But I am open to discussion 100%! I can do last minute if need be but prefer 1 day notice. I currently own 3 cats. Two of which are my dads but I have one of my own named Cheetoh! He’s a playful orange cat with a huge personality. He is well groomed as well as well fed. His diet is very water based due to male cats struggling with water intake. He takes vitamins for his allergies as well. I believe it is my duty as his momma to make sure he has the best care possible. I care for all animals as though they are my own. Animals deserve love and compassion always!

About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.
