“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

About: Hi, I’m Martin I’m a reliable and caring pet lover with a passion for dogs & cats. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just good company, I treat every pet like family. You can count on me for attentive, trustworthy care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. As a screenwriter with a flexible schedule, I’m home often and available for walks, drop ins, or extended stays perfect for pets who need consistent care and attention. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I treat every space with respect and ensure your pets feel secure, loved, and stress free in their own environment. Building trust with both you and your pets is always my top priority.

About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.

About: Hi! I am Ro! I take my pet's care very seriously and that is how I will be providing care for yours. I have experience taking care of litter of puppies, brachiocephalic breeds, special needs dogs and high energy breeds. My spouse and I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. Our french bulldog has a megasophagus and my GSD have had surgeries, so we have experience taking care of pets intensively for a while. My cats have been raised with dogs around and are calm towards dogs. I have a German Shepherd, a Brittany and a French Bulldog, all very friendly and playful. We have a big and a small fenced yard and plenty of toys. A day for your dog in my house would consist of plenty of potty breaks, supervised yard time/play time, time alone with me relaxing, lick mats, puzzles, a daily walk, and play time with my dogs (if the owner allows interaction and they get along). I run a tight ship, so my dogs and your dogs will be just fine coexisting together or I can also provide care without my pets around. We are long time Rover users, so we will definitely treat your dogs as we would like our pets to be taken care of. Please let me know any food allergies. *At this time, I am only boarding 1 (2 if they are family) pet at a time to provide everyone a quality care and alone time. I work from home and I am able to take several breaks for potty breaks, feeding the dogs or supervised play time with my dogs or separated. All of my dogs are crate trained. I have a big and a small yard which would work to keep your pets and my pets seperate at all times, if needed. I can provide good care for dogs who don't do well with other dogs around as well.

“Rachael did a great job caring for our small dog who isn’t the friendliest to strangers. She took him on long walks and was great at communicating with us. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I have been dog sitting and boarding for 3 years and I love doing so. I can teach basic skills - sit, stay, roll over, jump, etc. I am also a professional photographer and provide your lovely fur children's free photos. I communicate with the owners regularly and update. I stay home 24/7 and work from home, dogs have free access to back yard which is fully fenced. All dogs get 1 Apple Tag during the stay for peace of mind. I work from home and stay home most of the time. At least 1 adult stays home (me or my partner) at all time. I normally free-feed the dog and they have access to water 24/7 to stay hydrated. We are dog friendly home where they can sit on sofa, snuggle and sleep indoors. I have fully fenced yard and they have free access to toilet (outdoor) 24/7. We are on a very safe and low traffic Avenue. Each dog gets 1 Apple tag for peace of mind (dog collar must be provided from owner). We only board small and medium dogs and only 1 client at a time.

“Joline is wonderful with Oogie. She was able to help on short notice for a meet and greet and clearly took the time to understand his routine. She handled him really well, even with hot weather and construction happening around the house. She is communicative, sends thoughtful updates and sweet photos, gives him fresh water and food afterward, and makes sure the key is returned to the right place. I feel very comfortable trusting her with Oogie and would happily book with her again.”

About: Hii! I’m Rya, I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid and loved animals since. I love taking care of them as well as learning each behaviors. Please keep in mind I do have a pup of my own, who is fixed and has all her shots. She’s goofy and loves other dogs. I want to be able to help people take the stress off. My dog has separation anxiety and I’ve learned in multiple ways how to help with that. She is also friendly with cats as she grew up with two since she was 6 months till a year and a half. Pet care is currently part of my every day and weekly routine. I have my pup Sage who is an active deerhound/doodle mix. She keeps me on my toes. My availability is Su-Sa at this time. Not every dog is the same in how they are cared for. I would like to discuss with you a little prior to know your dogs behaviors, if there’s any triggers or anything that benefits them the most.

“Kaleigh is so reliable, flexible and great with my big dog! She makes sure to communicate at every point so I know my dog well taken care of.”

About: Hi, my name is Elisabeth (I go by Xel). I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, mostly dogs but some cats too. I truly love spending time with animals and getting to know their little personalities. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to do what makes them feel most comfortable. I also have experience giving oral medications if needed. Your pet will be treated like family! I'm currently freelancing, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am available most days and times. Pet care fits really well into my routine, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention, stick to their schedule, and be available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can! Creating a safe and comfortable environment is very important to me. I’m attentive, responsible, and I take the time to understand your pets behaviors, moods and routines, so they feel at ease. My goal is to create a calm, loving space where your pet feels safe, happy, and right at home.

About: I have cared for dogs young and old, big and small, sleepy and energetic, fluffy and derpy. I'd love to hang with your pup. I spent all of 2025 using pet sitting to travel around the country and internationally, caring for 9 dogs, 14 cats, and one rabbit in the past year. I have been a dog lover ever since I first held my baby pug dog-niece, Beans, in my cupped hands. Since then, I've cared for Beans frequently, as well as for the pets of other friends and neighbors. I'm currently doing a smattering of freelance work and trying to finish my novel, so I have plenty of time to give your pet all the cuddles, pets, and walks they deserve. When pet sitting, I care for any client's home with care and respect. I do my best to follow the pet's routines to keep them as comfortable as possible. I strive to leave each home at least as clean as I found it.

“Elizabeth was right on time and she knew just what to do to warm up to my dog, who can be shy with strangers. Luna came back from her walk very happy.”
