About: I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid through the American Health Training Association. Personalized Care, Special Needs Pet Care, and Experienced & Trustworthy I am retired and currently an Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister which provides me with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays, most weekends and holidays for you. My services at this time will take place in your home. I will require an initial greeting to make sure your animal is comfortable and has a chance to get to know me in their own environment. I have worked with animals that have had anxiety and was able to work with them to gain their trust.

About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!

About: I am a teacher on summer break! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and visit their dogs during the day. Working with children requires some of the same qualities needed to work with animals. I am patient, calm, nurturing, and dependable. I am currently on summer break. I will be available most weekdays and some weekends. I can visit and provide walks during the day. I am available at various times for feeding and playing with your pet. I love to provide a friendly, safe, and fun experience for your pet. I love interacting with pets. I usually go over to feed, give fresh water, and provide bathroom breaks. If there are any specific needs for your pet, I am willing to learn and accommodate those. I enjoy making a connection and building trust with pets. You can depend on me to be on time and communicate effectively, providing you and your pet with the best experience possible.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.

“Daniela was amazing! She was willing to be flexible with her schedule just so that she could help me out with Bentley while I was working. She was so accommodating and easy to work with. I will definitely book her again!”

About: I’m 26 years old and have had pets my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to earn extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Last year, I completed four veterinary assistant courses and hope to begin working in an animal hospital or veterinary office soon. At this time, I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and occasional in-home house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and most other pets. I always keep pet parents updated with photos and Rover cards, and I respond to messages as quickly as possible. I know how reassuring it is to have consistent communication while you’re away, so I make that a priority. Please note that if my response rate appears low, it’s due to filtering out scam or spam messages—I do respond to genuine inquiries the same day. My schedule is very flexible and I have some availability every week. At the moment I'm mostly available for drop ins and walks but can occasionally do house sitting. I'm open to long term arrangements for walks and drop ins as well! The first thing I do is take them out for their walk or potty break. Then when we get back inside I give them their treat and then I rinse out their water dish and give them fresh water. Then I do anything else I was asked to do for that specific pet like change puppy pads etc. Then If the pet has toys and likes to play i'll usually play with them for a bit before I leave by throwing their toy or tug of war or whatever they like.

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs as well as being a trained canine handler. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I used to work at a dog daycare and have been trained heavily with dog behavior. All dogs will be allowed to run around and engage in supervised play unless they are not dog friendly. All dogs will be cared for on an individual basis, because each dog has different needs and behaviors. I am also able to take dogs that have special needs medically or behaviorally. Dog owners love that I do not discriminate against certain breeds or behaviors dogs may have. I am able to plan their stay so that the dog has as much fun as possible with the least amount of stress as possible! I am also an AKC certified dog trainer I currently work from home so I am available almost all day during the week and most weekends. I have a flexible schedule so I can move things around to accommodate most requests. I love to go on walks and get energy out. A tired pup / cat is a happy pup / cat. I also love to cuddle and hang out if that matches the personality better.

“Jackie did a wonderful job with Lainey while we were out of town. Great walks, lots of play time and love. I highly recommend Jackie for any pet sitting needs!”

I have been in the pet care industry for about 9 years now and would love to have the chance to help you and your fur babies! I currently offer boarding, walking, and daycare. I am pretty much always available so last minute bookings are not an issue at all. I have experience with all breed sizes and ages. My partner is a dog trainer as well so we are used to all types of temperaments and can accommodate dogs for any special treatment they may need (Ex. Not friendly with cats or other dogs). I hope I can help, I love doing this as my job! Since I do rover full time the animals I watch live just like mine! They go out when mine do and have access to the backyard whenever they would like to go out. I usually keep the back door open all day for sunbathing or potty time. I usually have trouble getting dogs in because they love it outside so much! I will follow all instructions given by the owner and treat them like they are my own babies. In my home depending on their temperament they are allowed to roam free and have access to everything my dogs do.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I treat them like family and have always been the go to for friends and family to pet sit and walk! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I figured we already go on daily walks, why not meet some pup friends! 🐾 I have the utmost respect for pups and their families. I know how much I care for my doggo and would treat yours the same 🤗

About: I have had many types of pets, dogs, cats, fish, and rodents. I have a lot of patience which allows me to care for stubborn pets as well as kittens and puppies. I have had both large and small dog breeds and am comfortable with both. I’m currently a student, but I only have classes for about 3 hours a day so I am very flexible. I also work part time in food service but my schedule is flexible and can be adjusted as needed. I care for every animal and pet like they are my own. I show them all equal love and attention and pay close attention to body language and signals that animals give. I respect animals and work with them so they feel comfortable and safe with me!

About: I have had and worked with dogs my entire life, from puppy to elder dogs. I have had big dogs my entire life, such as German Shepherds and Labs. I mostly work afternoons twice a week, as well as doing some occasional other jobs, so I will most likely be able to spend a lot of time in your home and do drop off visits in the morning and evening.

With a fully fenced yard for safe play, cozy dog cots or couch snuggles, and plenty of love to go around, your dog will feel right at home.
