Dog Sitting Independence

About: I am available during the days. I’m used to an 8mile hike per day with my dog. Unfortunately had to put him down after 6short years with him. I love big dogs, he was a boxer/pit. No furniture in my house is off limits. Dogs will be dogs, there isn’t a mess I haven’t been able to take care of. Love to play and help them get all the energy they have out, helps us both sleep better at night . I’m happy to help you care for your pup when your schedule doesn’t allow you to! I work nights so if your pet is staying over, he/she will be alone from 4-10pm. Hopefully they enjoy night walks as much as I do! I look forward to helping you!

“Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️”

“My two kitties loved their time with Katurah while I was away. The pictures and report card were so cute! Katurah was super responsive and kept me updated my whole trip. I really appreciate her communication, and reliability. Will use again for sure for peace of mind :)”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience giving medications and vaccinations from my time working as a veterinary assistant. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets both inside and outside the home and have experience with boarding, dog walking, medication administration, and in-home visits for feeding and watering. Every animal I care for quickly becomes part of my extended family, and I truly enjoy every moment spent making them feel safe, loved, and spoiled. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attention and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible and is very convenient for those who may need a little extra attention. My fenced yard offers space to play, and my two friendly dogs are always ready to welcome a new friend. If needed, I can also easily crate your dog for comfort or routine.

“Abby was great! She communicated well before her visit and did a phenomenal job checking in while I was away. Will absolutely recommend her to others and plan to keep using her help.”

“Ember was great with our pups and so helpful with my last minute requests!”

About: Recently left my quality management role at Amazon and now pursuing a career in what feeds my spirit - animals. My pets have changed my life for the better, I believe everyone should have the ability to experience what I have! Since I was in kindergarten I have had a unique connection with animals, and starting this new chapter in my life is terrifying yet amazing. So if you decide to book with me or only will you be supporting local (so thank you), but you will feel completely at peace knowing your pet is not just another checkbox on my list…. But a new friend I am happy to have made. I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol

About: aside from owning my own dogs, i have been taking care of dogs since high school! i was in a animal science class and would bathe the neighborhood dogs while learning dog behaviors, after high school i got a job at a grooming and daycare facility working with groups on dogs and occasionally being a bather! i currently am a assistant general manager at a dog daycare facility that i have been at for 5 years and i love it so much, i love making dogs feel happy and comfortable while helping them make the place feel like a 2nd home! with my work schedule i have lots of free time to come and play and hang out with your animals! even on my work days i mostly work from home taking phone calls and can travel during those times when needed!

About: My experience with dogs isn't just a hobby; it's a core part of my daily life. As a proud dog owner myself, I have years of firsthand, 24/7 experience managing everything that comes with a happy pup—from daily walks and feeding routines to understanding dog behavior and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I also have experience providing overnight care for other people's dogs. I know how important it is to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for a dog in a new space, and I'm committed to maintaining your dog's schedule to make them feel secure and right at home. I am currently a college student and I am looking to earn extra cash over my breaks when I am visiting home and I do have a lot of free time. When your dog stays with me, they are treated like a member of my own family. My goal is to be their "home away from home."

About: Hi! I have over 6 years of pet sitting experience through Rover and 3 years of professional dog daycare experience. I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routine. I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with pets requiring extra care, including administering medications, insulin injections, and monitoring blood glucose levels. I’m also familiar with different breeds, temperaments, and behaviors, and always respect each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with the same patience and care I’d give my own. I provide regular photo updates and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and give both you and your pets peace of mind! I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.

“Maria was great! Maria watched our cats Oliver and Benny for about a week while my family and I went on vacation. We had no issues at all and the cats seemed very content when we got home. I’d recommend Maria as a pet sitter for others.”

“Brittany has done visits while I was out of town as well as walks for my golden retriever. She took great care of my baby while I was away. Even cuddled with my 70+pound baby who thinks he's a lap dog! Appreciated all the pictures and knowing he was with someone who loves animals as much as me! Thank you😀”

“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!”

“Sophia is so sweet! She’s helped look after my cats during a few extended work trips and was happy to help when they needed medicine or special instructions. Now whenever I’m planning to be away, booking Sophia has become routine. The cats are typically shy but they sure like her and she goes above/beyond every time.”
