About: I have lived with and cared for animals since i was a child. I have experience with dogs, cats and reptiles. I can provide open communication such as facetimes and photos with your animals to ease any worry you may have away from your fur baby. Any specific care instructions or dietary needs for your pet will be followed so your animal receives the best care possible. I am available Monday-Friday anytime before 3 and any time after 9. I work 8 hours shifts on the weekends but am available for early and late check ins. My schedule can be adjusted to your desired care schedule as long as I am given enough advance. I provide service in my clients home due to my own animals. Any special care instructions will be properly followed and check ins can be provided if requested.

“I have always loved having Alex watch my fur-babies! Alex is very kind to them and they are always excited to see him! I take a lot of trips and Alex is always my person to go to when I need a sitter. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

“Holiday week and work is crazy! Meredith walked porter 1.1 miles and gave him a much needed break. Thank you Meredith! I liked the pics of my dog during the walks, and I appreciated that Meredith was willing to come visit Porter a few days before walking him to let him get to know her.”

“Destiny lives down the street from me and she watches my dog luna while I’m out of town or working a long shift. Luna absolutely loves her and she is great with her. She doesn’t just come and let her outside and feed her but she spends time playing with her and showing her some love while I’m not there. Destiny is very dependable and trustworthy. When I go out of town she will even stay the night at my house to make luna feel more comfortable. She is such a sweet animal lover.”

“Kitty is a dog whisperer. One of my two dogs is very shy and anxious. When Kitty arrived to take them for a walk, even after not having seen her in months, both dogs ran to her. I feel completely confident that the dogs are happy and well taken care of when I have either boarded with Kitty or had her take them for walks.”

About: I’ve helped to take care of both of my parents cats as well as mini labradoodle! As of April I’ve officially been a dog mom for a year! I have a 1 year old lab pit and she is my absolute life! I also help my sister take care of her kittens. I am available all days of the week at any time! I can fit to your pets needs however they may be. I have a wide open schedule! I am currently in college living on campus so I wouldn’t be able to house the pups but I am available to visit your home whenever necessary and walk/ feed/ play with your pups!!

About: I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats and reptiles. I am experienced with puppies through to senior dogs. I understand all animals have a different set of needs. I am currently enrolled in college! Hoping to make some extra money by taking care of loving animals. I want all animals to be in a safe and caring environment! I always try to go above and beyond for my animals and others. It is our job to give them what they need since they are unable to speak for themselves.

“Karli took amazing care of my 4 dogs while I was on a 2 week trip. I came back to the house being cleaner than when I left and she sent me plenty of updates to ensure they were well taken care of. She did a great job and I will definitely book again for my upcoming trips.”

“Rick is a kind, nurturing guy and who is passionate about animals and nature. He is intuitive, and seems to naturally anticipate the needs of the pets he's caring for. I've seen him shine with my dog, as well as with his own companion animals. He is careful and pays great attention to detail, all while keeping his focus on the happiness and well-being of his furry friends. He's a fantastic caregiver!”

“Calli has been my go-to sitter for every vacation! I have a Great Dane, pit bull terrier, and a cat. All three of them absolutely adore her and even our cat, who hates EVERYONE, loves Calli. She’s always reliable and I can always count on her to love on my babies while I’m away.”

“Elizabeth had been absolutely fantastic taking care of Tater! He can be a difficult dog to deal with and she’s handled him with excellent grace. I will absolutely book her as often as she’s available!”

“Jaszmyn was so great; very communicative and really intentional with Pip!”

About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)

“Samantha has continually done a fantastic job pet sitting for us. We feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our pets with her. She loves and cares deeply for all the pets she watches and her clients.”

About: I am a Las Vegas native that throughout my whole life dogs have always been a part of my everyday activity. Whether it be taking care of my own throughout my childhood or at the age of 15, starting to take care of other people's furry little friends. I have always had a love for being around and taking care of them. I started caring for dogs at a young age for a family friend, walking, feeding, and just loving on them, and by word of mouth was referred by them to someone else and then to someone else and the process continued. It definitely gives me satisfaction to know I am there caring for someone's pet and that they don't have to worry about their dog child/children being taken care of and getting the love that they would be getting as if they were home. I think the golden rule works for them as well. Take care of someone else's dog the way you would want your dog to be taken care of.

“Kayla is amazing with animals! She was very attentive and loving when she watched my animals, and followed all of my directions perfectly. I was worried about going on vacation but all my dogs and cats were in great hands!! Will absolutely use Kayla in the future.”

“Paige has been such a reliable and outstanding dog walker for my husband and I. She is always prompt and even able to help with my last minute requests. Our pups trust her! I would highly recommend using her services.”

“Pam did a great job checking on our dog. She sent pictures and text messages during the visits. We hope to use her again in the near future.”

“Alex has a ton of experience caring for her own dogs and others as well. Back a few years ago, I had a Rover account and took in dozens of dogs during a period when my freelance work was sporadic. Alex actually did 90% of the work even though I was responsible for the results. Together, we earned a consistent 5-star reputation and enjoyed a lot of repeat business. (Look up Justin Lambert in Stony Point, NC) Since then, she's also studied and become adept as a dog trainer. Her own dog, Fezzik, is the smartest, most obedient dog we've ever owned.”
