About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.
“Mira is extremely kind and responsible. I hired her to walk my dog for two weeks every day while I was away – she was very dependable and showed up every single day on time. She seemed to really care about my dog, and my dog liked her. She sent pictures and knows how to handle an older dog.”
“Monica is super responsive and great communicator. She was able to meet up with us beforehand for Teddy to meet her since he's is incredible shy. Teddy had a good walk with her! Thanks again!”
“Our dog Winnie loves Aislyn! She used to get so anxious anytime we were traveling, but now she loves seeing Aislyn. It puts us at so much ease having her come by and check on Winnie.”
“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”
“Lexy and Robert have been so great! They’re incredibly communicative and flexible, always on time and write great notes, and our dog is so happy and good with them. We’re very happy to have found them.”
“Michael walked our dog once per day for more than a week. He was punctual and the walking map showed he gave our dog good exercise. I would rebook with him without a moment’s thought.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Currently I have 4 cats and a golden retriever! I have been dog sitting and house sitting for my neighbors for years now and am wanting to do it more often! I have taken care of dogs ranging from 8 weeks to 12 years old and cats of all ages. I graduated from James Madison University this past June and I am wanting to fill my days off with fun spending time with your pets! I’ve taken care of many pets with various needs ranging from needing medication, specific sleep and walk schedules, crates, etc. I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pets!
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was punctual, responsive, gave us a ton of feedback and took excellent care of our fluff child following all instructions well. I will definitely be a return customer for both my dog and cats!”
About: I've spent my whole life around animals. Growing up, I cared for our family's beloved golden retriever, Moe, and our two cats, Dakota and Cicero. More recently, we rescued a handsome and nutty husky-pitt mix named Keddie. I work remotely most of the time, and am available to walk or check-in on your pup in the morning or afternoons during the week. Happy to check on your cat, too! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and routines. Will work to learn about and adapt to your dog's specific needs and your care preferences.
