I needed someone to let my dogs out in the mornings and Daisy was awesome! She was very consistent and always punctual, plus the dogs really loved her! She was also very patient when my key code system wouldn’t let her in. Overall, I highly recommend Daisy and will definitely hire her again in the future:)

About: While you are away, your dog(s) will be my best companion:) dogs are just like people and they deserve the world! We don’t deserve them! My day is all about tail wags and kiss! Dogs are the best companion that you can have, but they will end the stay meeting a lifelong friend! If your dog loves nature, I'm on it! If your dog loves to play ball, I'm on it! If your dog loves to hang out and chill, I'm on it! Dogs help you so much, so why can't we help them by enjoying life!

Broadview Heights, OH, 44147

About: I’m 25 and currently located in Broadview HeightsI have a few family pets but one cat of my own. I am open to any breed or size of animal. I’m available on very short notice and I have experience taking care of many different sizes of dogs. I’m also able to perform other tasks if needed ie. bathing pets, vet trips, household chores, laundry and almost anything else you can think of (for an additional cost). I am a college student at LCCC where I do the university partnership and study marine biology and environmental studies. To say I love animals is an understatement. I want to provide your pet with as much love and care as possible and I would love to be your family’s trusted pet sitter! All pets for house sitting must be okay with being alone for at least 8 hours at a time while I am at my full time job. The house sitting price reflects a 10-12 hour overnight cost (depending on current availability) and one 30 minute drop in directly after work (around 6:45pm). Please note that if your pet(s) require around the clock care Monday-Friday, I will be unable to accommodate that due to my full time work schedule. Drop ins and other requests are considered on a case by case basis as I may be able to drop in on a lunch break if your home is close enough to my job. The more notice (for weekend requests) the better as I tend to travel on weekends. I will only do what you are comfortable with me doing ie. talking your dog on walks, going to the dog park. Please don’t hesitate to tell me what you’re comfortable with. I want you to be able to be stress free while I care for your pets. I will do my best to make sure to follow whatever instructions you leave me with to care for your pet. I want to make sure that they are just as happy as you are. Please provide me with specific details on how to care for your pet. I promise that the more I know the better.

About: I have a husky and two kitties at home, and have always found working with animals to be the root of my happiness. I believe in treating our animals with the utmost care, so that they live a happiest and healthiest of lives. However, I can understand that when lives get busy it is hard to give our pets the exercise they deserve. This said, I would love to help out! I am a senior in high school, and am 18 years old. I am at school until 2:30pm, so afternoons and evenings is when I’m most available. Weekends are more open for me, so with communication I can be available any time of day. I have worked as a dog walker and sitter for about a year now, through contacting neighbors nearby. Whether it be walking my own husky or helping out in the neighborhood, I have walked dogs of all breeds. I would love to get in contact with you and see if your pet and I would be a good match!!

Dasha has been great with both of my dogs! Blue is a new puppy to us and certainly requires much more work, however Dasha was absolutely fantastic with him and he seemed very thrilled with having someone able to come and play with him while I was gone for the day!

About: I was in 4H all my youth. I learned how to teach a dog basic obedience through advanced courses such as rally(obstacle courses). I learned how each dog is different and meet them where they are at. I listen to pet parents and use their training style so the pets feel consistency. I am very gentle with all animals. Each one just wants to know they are safe when their parent is gone. I am a morning person so I am up early with my animals. I love being active in the morning. I know that animals usually like to be active in the mornings too. I will care for your pets as you have instructed. I want every parent to know their pet is safe because I listened to their instructions and I care for their well being.

About: I’ve dealt with small to large pups in different breeds. I’ve handled all kinds of request like clothing when it’s raining or cold etc. I’m here to service you! I have a doggie and had her for four years and babysat other dogs two years before her. I work from home so my schedule is open to step away and attend to the doggies! I tend to take mine to the park down the street and go on walks three times a day. The doggies are free to roam around my home and have a comfy couch to chill on. There’s plenty of roaming space and toys that I keep! each dog has their own food and water bowl. In clients home I will follow any directions given.

About: My dear friend FLIES me down to Florida to care for her 3 dogs when she goes on vacation - yes, I'm that loving and attentive to the pups! I love, love, love them - big, small, in-between. I grew up with dogs, and have a gentle, kind way with them, and they tend to love me right back, pretty quickly in return! Dogs are so wonderful - they ground you, they help you remember every day what's really important in life... they're joyful, they're soulful and I'll care for and love your furry family member wonderfully in your absence! Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I'll be delighted to tell you more about me any time you'd like to talk! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as my other work that I do (marketing) is remote. I'll have lots of time with your pet if you bring me in for home care/pet sitting! I care for pets in their own homes, which is more comfortable for my pet clients. In my home, I have 4 cats of my own and my yard is not fenced in, so I'm happy to care for your buddies right in the environment they're happiest in -- their own house!

I go to College of Charleston, and i’m looking for an extra way to get some exercise in and get paid!

Asis was absolutely incredible. I was concerned my dog would be difficult to manage due to his age, and congestive heart failure. I did a lot of research on Rover to find the right sitter that can handle the medication schedule, and special instructions for an elderly dog. Asis was timely, reliable, and definitely loved by my dog named Rex. I not only recommend using her, but I plan on using her often in the future. Thank you very much!

Patience was a dream! She handled our very timid and shy Dane with such love and care! Our dogs loved her, and she ensured they got plenty of pets and love with each visit. While the cats were fed with an auto feeder, water fountain etc, she made sure the machines were operating and gave them plenty of attention too! Would highly recommend her!
