About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but in my adult life I’ve gotten my own 3 labs. They are so special to me and I treat them like my children. I am home all day, (I work remotely) so I am able to keep an eye on your pets 24/7! If I had your dog(s) here they’d get treated the same way as my own babies. We all love to go on long energizing walks, but if your dog prefers to walk alone I can do that too! I currently work full time remotely 8-4:30, so it is very easy for me to keep and eye on your pets! I am fully available on the weekends as well. (Per schedule) I have 3 SUPER friendly dogs, they are very big hits at the dog park. I do sleep with them and allow them on the furniture. I can easily crate a dog if needed as I have 3 that I used for my dogs that they do not need anymore. I don’t have a fenced in yard as my dogs have an invisible fence, but they don’t get let out unsupervised and I do have a lead/chain that I can attach to my back deck.

About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!

About: We’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. We have two pups of our own that would simply love to become your furry companions new bestie! Your pup will be well taken care of in our home! We both currently work full time jobs. We can provide full time weekend care for your pet. We have two very active pups ourselves that love to run around our large fenced in background. We also have two local nature trails we frequently take our pets for walks and would love to bring your pup along too! With our large fenced in backyard, you can ensure your pup will be more than safe. We spend a large majority of our time outside. Our pups love to run and play so your furry companion is sure to come home with all that energy run off! There is also never a shortage of treats given in our household!

About: Hey there! A little about me, I am a huge animal lover, I grew up with my mom house sitting on rover! So I’m very used to many dogs of all sizes! I am in college (hybrid) and don’t have the space for my own pup, so caring for others animals gives me my fix! I was the neighborhood dog walker, I have pet sat for family and friends, I also have experience with cats, and exotics, chinchillas, ferrets, birds, bunnies, farm animals, you name it!:) My days are super flexible, I’m always communicative about when I’m gone. My classes are hybrid, so I don’t have to go in to school often, if I do it’s normally short periods! Meaning plenty of time for your lovely pets!! I have lots of experience with all type of temperaments when it comes to dogs and cat’s and other animals, I’m also very communicative and send lots of updates and photos!

“First time using Rover! Excellent experience. Travis was awesome. Prior to her first walk with him, he came over for a meet and greet which was very helpful. Right away, Whinnie could tell he was a dog lover. He also was very responsive to all of my questions I had in person and via the app. We will definitely use him again! It is such a good feeling to know our pup is being taken care of.”

“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now! I can pet sit from anything with fur to scales! I adore animals and provider the proper care they need! As well as spoil them with treats and pets! Whatever you want for your pet needs, I can provide! I am currently working a part time job that doesn’t get in the way of letting pets out/ take care of pet needs! I can accommodate for whatever is needed! I care for pets by taking them on walks, feeding on schedule, pets, treat giving, and many others! I am also a great housekeeper and will clean if it is requested!

“We reached out to Jessica to watch our (at the time) 9 week old goldendoodle puppy named Noodle and she has been fantastic with him! A little story to illustrate my point - when we first got our puppy, my fiance wanted him to stay home in a playpen while we were working and I insisted we hire a sitter. Now every time we take Noodle outside, he tries to take himself on a walk! It is obvious he loves his time with Jessica and she is great at communicating with us and reinforcing the training techniques we're working on. We will continue to book with Jessica as long as she will put up with Noodle.”

About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.

About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.

Simply by spending quality time with them every day, walking my dogs and cuddling with my cats. I know the importance of spending time with animals and I understand their basic everyday needs.

About: I've had dogs all of my life! From puppies to seniors, I provide the love, affection and care your dog will need while you're gone! I am a live in caretaker for my parents.

About: From a young age i’ve always loved animals, having grown up with 4+ animals in the house at all times i learned very quickly my love for animals. i have worked at 2 vets in the past and 2 doggy daycares, those jobs showed me how much i really wanted to care for animals, and while i am not working at this time id still like to devote time to helping people out and making dogs happy with walks and play time and company, i have cared for dogs weighing from under 10 pounds all the way to almost 200 pounds, i do have some experience with administering medication orally and with a needle if needed. i cared for my elderly cat in the past and my elderly dog now, I've given insulin shots and given pills, I am more than comfortable handling that, I found by putting the pill in a small treat nine times out of ten they don’t even notice it’s in there! I know what the feeling is like to have to leave your animals behind when you go on vacation or wherever, but i would love to make them feel happy and loved while your gone! I care for all animals the way I would care for my own pets. my schedule is open now so even if you have a puppy who needs extra potty breaks i’m available to come up to every 2-3 hours if needed. i’m really flexible and can work with everyone at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..

“Amazing communication. Very friendly. Was able to squeeze me in very quick.”
