About: Through out my high school and college years, I have been a pet-sitter in various ways for over 100 animals! From labs, to bunnies, to beagles, to cats, to even lizards, I have experience with a wide range of dogs, cats, and other animals. I have given a golden retriever their daily medicine and made sure the beagle I was watching had on his "Thunder Shirt" during a big storm. I'm not afraid of getting a little dirty and cleaning up poop or the occasional vomit, whether outside or in a litter box! I will always keep you updated on how your pet is doing, and will even send pictures and videos if you like. Whatever your pet needs, I can make sure to care for them as if it were you caring for them at home! *PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING! This summer I have a 9-5 schedule with my graduate clinical assignment and if your dog needs supervision or let out in the middle of the day, I may not be a good fit!* I am a full-time graduate student, but my schedule is typically easy to manipulate to accommodate your pet's needs! I can usually be available for mid-day potty breaks and walks. I can also match your pet's meal times, whether they have their breakfast at 5 AM or 10 AM! I can always work with you to assure that your pet's schedule fits perfectly with mine. When visiting your home to stay with your pet or take them out for a walk, I always respect boundaries in your household! I will make sure to return your pet's items to their proper location. Additionally, I will ensure that messes are cleaned up and disposed of appropriately. Your home is also your pet's home, so I strive to maintain it's condition for you and your furry loved one!

About: Hi, my name is Riley and I absolutely love dogs, so I decided to join Rover! I do have two dogs of my own, and they love making new friends. Because of my two boys, I have learned so much about what it takes to provide a happy, healthy life for a dog. From walks, to fetch, and even to just laying around getting belly rubs, I always do what I can to make dogs happy and get their tails wagging! I have a house with a big fenced in yard, and a doggy door that is open at all times to access the outside whenever! My dogs LOVE it, because they can play all day, but can come in for a power nap when they want, too. My boys and I look forward to making a new fur friend! I work Monday-Friday, 7:30-5pm. I am fortunate to have flexibility to telework, however, so I am able to be home throughout the day when necessary! I have a doggy door, as well as a fenced in yard so that the pups are able to roam freely and go outside when needed. I’m also able to crate pups, if requested, as I have 2 extra large crates!

“Allysa cared for my two elderly cats while I was out of town for two weeks. She kept in close communication with me about the cats, and was very responsive to my concerns. On two different occasions, she went “above and beyond” to ensure my cats were well cared for, and I am very grateful for her efforts! I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have raised puppies and cared for dogs. I owned 2 Belgian malinois and a German shepherd. I currently own a skepsky. I am good with big dogs. My shepsky is a very nervous dog so if you are someone who is worried about having a dog walker due to their puppy being scared I’m your girl. I am doing this on my days off from school. It is something to give me a break from studying and I really love animals. I clean my litter box daily at my own home and I ensure clean water and food for both of my cats. I am a clean person overall.
“Carla is fantastic! She is quick at communicating and very kind. She made sure my cat received his daily medication. He was feisty, but she worked with him until he took his medicine. I appreciate her patience with my cat. I’ll definitely reach out to her again when I need pet-sitting services in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.
