About: I have owned dogs/cats for the past 13 years. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you’re gone. I am currently self-employed and set my own schedule. I can work in several pet sitting sessions a week. I am flexible, so please contact if you have questions! I treat the client’s home as carefully as I would my own. Only access required pet care items and clean up after myself/the pet when necessary.

Ann was super flexible and responded right away. She took my boy out for an evening walk and sent pics when she was out. It was just the help I needed after having surgery on my foot so I am so grateful to her! Will use her again for sure!

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

We were brand new to Rover when we found and booked Jess, and this was our 1st time being away from our dog; we were out of the State for 3 days. We were very nervous as you can imagine. The most important thing to us is that Duncan really liked her upon meeting her for the first time. Our first impressions was that she was very nice, friendly, and professional! She remembered all our instructions and all of Duncan’s nuances and she kept us informed as to his day with notes and pictures. She not only responded quickly to our initial booking request, she responded within minutes to our messages throughout the 3 days. We appreciated her honesty of how Duncan was doing and she even requested that we message her as soon as we got home to ensure Duncan was all set! Jess went above and beyond and we will utilize her services in the future.

About: Have helped take care of my family’s Aussiedoodle from his time as a puppy to his senior days now, tackling a number of problem behaviors along the way. My best quality is my attentiveness, as I’m always looking out for signs of distress and ways to make animals feel more at ease. Some years on a farm have also helped hone this instinct! I currently work nights at a group home for folks with disabilities Thursday to Sunday, leaving my days and Sunday to Wednesday nights free to help the local canine community! I live in an area with more than four lovely parks within just a few minutes drive, which dogs would be amply treated to while here. As mentioned I also sometimes have an old friendly Aussiedoodle in my care that’d help keep other pets company. Both at client’s residences and at home I’m always glad to continue maintaining pets’ routines as they’re usually conducted.

About: I have cared for dogs throughout my life, most recently training my dog with severe separation anxiety and prey drive. Patience and commitment have been very important in my training. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I am currently working part time from home, so I have lots of flexibility. I love walking and my dog is getting older and not as active, so I would love to add more walks into my day! I am currently offering home visits for walks, feeding, and hang out time! I am comfortable with all size dogs and multiple dog homes. I house sit regularly so am very comfortable locking up and keeping an eye on the home. Making sure your pet is safe and comfortable is my top priority!
