1. Cher D.
“Cher was a lifesaver in taking care of our cat, Princess over the holidays. She was quick to respond, accommodating, honest and kind. As stressful as it is for pet owners to leave their fur babies at home while on vacation, it is even more stressful on our pets. Cher's daily visit helped diminish that stress on our cat and us! We happily could tell that Princess was well taken care of when we returned home and would not hesitate to have Cher take care of our little lady again. Thank you, Cher!”
2. Amy M.
“I highly recommend Amy for all your pet needs. I have used Amy for advance bookings and well as spur of the moment bookings. She is always there for us to provide responsible and loving care for Scout. An added bonus is that Scout loves Amy. Amy even took Scout to the groomers and back home. She is absolutely the best!!!”
3. Ted T.
“Ted is a wonderful companion for our furry family members. He has been dog sitting for our fur babies, Sandy, Baby, Ginger, and Pepper and they absolutely love him when they see him come through the front door. Every one of their tails are wagging as they know they will be in good hands with him. My fur babies and I highly recommend Ted!”

“Stephanie took care of my senior dog countless times, and cared for her as her one of own! Stephanie was always timely, loving, and kept me informed on how my pet was doing (including sending lots of photos). She has a soft spot for dogs, and I will continue to entrust my current and future animals to her care!”
5. Christin H.
“Christin definitely loves her dogs! She treats them like her children, she even has her mom calling them grand puppies. She has attended dog numerous obedience classes. Christin currently has 4 dogs, and has rescued 7 dogs. She’s always offered to dog sit for friends and family and spoils other people’s pets just like they were her own. She has a large fenced in back yard as well and her dogs are very friendly to other people and dogs. One of her goals is to build a dog kennel and board dogs. When it comes to her pets she’s the real MVP.”

11. Shayla R.
About: I am very capable of handling any breed or age of dog. I prefer large breed dogs but love them all. I've been handling dogs for 31 years now. I've even had experience with hybrid dogs. Capable of taking care or healthily or sick dogs, young or old. And your dog will undoubtably love me! My own dogs suffers from seizures and I am his support animal, he is very friendly young Great Dane mix. I also live on 11 acres in the woods on a river. So we can run all day long or go for a swim. Also it doesnt matter if your dog is the best trained dog or not trained at all! I like a challenge if it's a "problem" dog, not completely house trained or has anxiety. I will love them anyways! I work part time. So I am able to love your animals most of the day/week. I love going for walks in any type of weather, rain, snow or sun. I am very adaptable. Let me know any specific needs you may have and I will do my best to fulfill those needs. I love all animals and will treat them and your space with respect.
12. Brianna V.
About: Hello! My name is Bri! I love working with dogs and cats, and I have enjoyed my experience working with animals if all shapes and sizes here on Rover. I have experience volunteering at the Wood County Humane Society in Ohio, I grew up with two dogs (Havanese), and I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I currently own two cats, so I love cat sitting, as well! One of my most frequent clients is a Labrador Retriever (and a very good girl), so I am most comfortable with dogs of that size and smaller, but I am happy to discuss working with any breed. Our furry friends deserve the absolute best care and attention, and that is what I provide! I look to meeting you! I work full time (M-F, 9-5) in Alma, and I am free to care for your animals before and after work, from 12-1 on my lunch break, and over the weekend! I am happy to provide whatever services you need in your home. Because I have cats, I am unfortunately not able to bring dogs into my home, but I can be otherwise flexible regarding your needs!

16. Reagan T.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born. I have always had a love for our furry friends and passion to making sure their time with us is as memorable as it can be. I am available walks, play dates, sleepovers, or just keeping each other company whenever it is needed. I am student athlete at Alma college so I committed to a lot of opportunities there. My schedule tends to fall with most availability in the early mornings and afternoons. I have residency here in Alma so I am able to keep your furry friends occupied and am able to accompany them as much as needed. I know how to walk a dog on a leash, take them to parks, and so on. My dogs have not been around many other dogs so if for furry friends do not work well with other dogs or pets that is no problem. I live in a house/apartment with two other girls who are both animal lovers!

About: I've always had dogs around me my whole life. I grew up with a little chihuahua and he's still with me. Dogs really love me and I really do love them! I have three dogs total so I'm with dogs most of my days throughout the week. Sometimes I'll be away from home for a day or two, but not often. I care for my dogs by taking them outside, giving them their food and water daily, and treats always! We spend time playing with their toys or running in the yard!

About: I love being around pets! I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. Both dogs are on the smaller side and my cat is 6 years of ageI have 2 young children in my home when they aren't at school. My daughter is 5 and my son is 3. I have had dogs since I was a kid and have loved having them around. I work on a rotating schedule so my days of service are different each week. I have no professional experience but many years of personal service with pets. I have had fish in the past so I could also help with them. I will be available at all times on the days I have off. I am looking forward you meeting you pet and being able to help you out!
