“Anabella has been great. She is attentive to the dogs and has patience with one of our pets that takes a long time to warm up to others. We’ve had a scheduled routine and she’s very reliable.”

About: I have cared for dogs of all different ages and breeds from senior Italian Greyhounds to Leonberger puppies. Safety and comfort are my top priorities for pups and I believe every dog needs his or her special time to just be a dog during the day. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pup! I am experienced with administering medicine to older dogs/dogs with anxiety. I also have the energy and patience for younger dogs, and am able to walk multiple dogs at a time, if it is needed. I’m available for walks and overnight stays. I have reliable transportation for doggy day adventures! I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to ask my any questions you may have. I currently have open availability and am looking forward to meeting new doggo friends for day care, overnight care, walks, and drop-ins. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When I'm dog-sitting or walking, I am happily and fully committed to your pup. No dog is the same, just as no person is the same. Each family has its own culture and needs. I want your animal friend to be as comfortable as possible, so I will follow any routines or dreams you have for them.

About: I grew up taking care of my family dog that we had for 13 wonderful years. I have been dog sitting for many years and have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past. My partner and I own a home in Hillsborough, where we have a large, fenced-in yard for our own pups, Reggie and Echo, to enjoy. Reggie is excitable and has a loud voice, and though he doesn't always know how to contain that energy, he's a lovebug who just wants to play with anyone and everyone. We've had a number of dogs here to stay with us, including a 12-week-old puppy, and he loves them all! We recently got him a little sister, Echo. After a 2-hour adjustment period, they were fast friends and snuggling as they napped! She's also a sweetheart and is working on learning good manners. Reggie and Echo spend most of their time traipsing around the back yard and napping in the sun. I work from home, so your dog can get plenty of supervised playtime! I can also send plenty of pictures during your little one's stay if you'd like! Let me care for your sweet pup when you are away from home! I work from home full time, so your dog and mine will have plenty of supervised care and time to play and explore the backyard! We live on an acre, and the back half is completely fenced in with a 5 ft fence to keep all pups safe and contained!
About: I have cared for a wide variety of dog and cat breeds over the last 10+ years. I love pets of all sizes and energy levels. I can walk dogs and pet sit as needed! I am flexible with time on most days of the week and afternoons/evenings every day. My weekends are usually completely open so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! You will get lots of pictures of your pet while I am watching them. I am gentle, patient, reliable, and trustworthy. I have experience with watching multiple pets at one time.
“Sarah was a life saver for us! A last minute unexpected need for a walker came up, and Sarah was so kind to lend a hand with my leash reactive dog. She was amazing with Schpoozi in handling his special needs, and showed up when she said she would. Dependable, responsible and sweet, what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!”

About: I have extensive experience providing care and support, whether for people or animals. I’m naturally compassionate and attentive to the needs of any living being, and caring for others has become second nature to me. Since I complete my college coursework online, I have a highly flexible schedule and am available most of the time outside of regular rest hours. I prioritize safety and responsibility, ensuring pets are never left unattended and always have their needs met. You can rely on me to provide consistent, dependable care.
About: I have been taking care of different types of dogs since I was young. Friends, family and others have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their dogs over night in their own home. I’m currently working part time and I am a part time student, but they are different days so I have plenty of time with your pup or pups! I am free for walking, playing, and watching dogs in your home when it is needed. I will follow any instructions you give to me to safely walk and take care of your animals in your home or neighborhood, this includes backyard, front yard, and anywhere else I am given permission to take your dog.
About: I love animals, both big and small, furry and not. I currently have an 2 year old lab/Great Dane, a 7 year old corgi/chihuahua mix, 3 cats, a crested gecko, a bearded dragon, multiple aquariums - fish, and chickens! I have experience training my own young pups, and helping older dogs that are on medications and having difficulty getting around. I have pet sat for neighbors, family and friends for the last several years, and their animals are always just as important to me as my own. I want your fur babies (and other pets) to be happy and healthy while you are away, and I will send plenty of photos so you can see their happy faces and wagging tails. I also have experience with turtles, chinese water dragons, snakes, and frogs! CURRENT AVAILABILITY - I am only available early mornings (start time no later than 6 a.m.), evenings (starting at 5 p.m.) M-F and any time Saturday and Sundays (depending on our family plans) **SNOW/ICE - when there is snow and ice at my house, I am usually unable to get out of my driveway, much less make it to someone else's house** I can't wait to meet your animals. . . I will play with them at your house, take them to a nearby park, and/or walk them around your neighborhood- whatever meets your needs. I also enjoy just sitting with an older animals and giving them some sweet snuggle time, if that is what is needed. If your animals like and want interactions with children, my two sons (10, 14) would be more than happy to come with me provide play and snuggle time with me (they will not be with me otherwise). There is nothing more fun and rewarding to me than knowing that your animals are happy and being taken care of and that I am a part of that.

I have two dogs - a Maltese who is now 16 and a Pomeranian mix who I adopted who is now 13! I also have a cat that belongs to my sister that I am currently taking care of.

I am available to walk pets, play with them, feed them, and take care of them in any way needed. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe!
About: I’ve had animals of many kinds from tiny to huge growing up. I’d normally house sit for family and friends until I decided to join the Rover crew. I enjoy house sitting as I’ve realized pet are usually more comfortable in their own homes. I have the ability to bathe, walk, feed, and of course play with your pets! I am a part time college student doing majority of my classes online. For the time being my schedule is an empty open book waiting to be filled! I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me! If they enjoy the car, cuddling up for a movie, stores, parks, or even just being in the backyard you name it and I’d love to make it happen! They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.

About: In addition to owning 2 dogs (who now live with my parents), I have dog sat for years. Walking, feeding, and bathing are a part of my normal practices. I love to hike with dogs if you're interested! I'm working from home for the summer, so I'm available to take care of your pet any time you need! I also have a car, so I will be able to drive to you or anywhere you need. I have a large backyard and live right down the road from Morreene Road Park. I also have a screened-in porch that I can sit in with your pet while I work.
