About: I love dogs. I provide consistent walks and runs at the park which I live a block away from. I also provide scheduled feedings. As well as baths if requested and products are provided by owner. Im available during the week anytime. I am available on the weekend at any time. My special skills with dogs is understanding they're all different and that they have likes and dislikes just like humans so I always try to pursue an individual special bond with each dog. Rover is my full time job so I have all the time in the world to play with your pups and to cater to their every need. I have a fenced yard and access to two other pups to keep your fur babies company and to have immediate fun thats right outback.
About: I spent my youth training to be a vet and fostering dogs. I learned a lot at vet school, namely that I couldn't ever deliver the final act of compassion. So, I turned my attention to my true passion - caring for dogs! I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and I love it. Every new dog that I meet reminds me how much I love dogs. I am flexible to the needs of every dog I care for and will make their experience with me as similar to their home life as possible. I have two dogs of my own, but they LOVE meeting new dogs to play with. If your dog is not as keen to new friendships, I can separate them all with ease. I have only one hard line, I need to meet you and your dog before the stay. I have learned that it is the best way to ensure your dog's comfort in their stay. I did not always adhere to this and I have seen some very stressed out fur babies. I want your fur pups happy and healthy as much as you do! Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so, I will be with your dogs all day. If we have any grocery trips or daycare drop offs, they will be crated for those brief periods. We keep our dog-less activities to a minimum during pet stays. We have no fence and our dogs run off-leash. With your dogs, I will walk them leashed because dogs (like children) test boundaries. We also go to creeks and hikes very often, and your dogs will join us leashed (if you approve).
About: I’ve always had animals with me in my life. From birds to reptiles, cats and dogs all different kinds of pets I welcome! On my free time I sometimes watch veterinarian videos on how to care for different types of pets. My dream job is to work full time with animals/pets. Wanting to try out this app and see what experiences I am able to achieve. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday nights and am fully free from Thursday to Saturday. I do sometimes have my work nights off which would make me available. I currently live with a cat and a dog that are not mine. I enjoy taking them out on long walks (when given approval) and playing with each of them respectively. I also live with two ducks that are out in the yard. I understand the relationship between respect with human and animal but also know when to take swift action to care for your loved one.
About: I've had dogs in my home my entire life, and owned several cats too. I understand that our pets are part of a family and they deserve the best care! I work from home and am home most weekends. I can easily add another dog in my home comfortably and provide them with individual attention. I have a safe, fenced in yard with plenty of space (and toys) for dogs to play and run around. My adult daughter is also home and is experienced and comfortable with dogs of all sizes.
“I’m so happy I found Jahada! She is a reliable and experienced animal lover. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely ask her to watch Riley and Cinnabun again.”

“Amber did a wonderful job checking in on my cat Sophie, allowing my mind to be at ease while on vacation. Sophie was well taken care of and I appreciated the updates/pictures too. Will definitely book again for future trips/vacations and recommend to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

About: I am in school to become a dog trainer. I’d love to have more experience working with dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’d love to help care for your fur babies!

My other job is very flexible so I’ll be available any day of the week! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!

“Jule was AMAZING. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is genuinely caring and passionate about animals. She took excellent care of my 4 dogs. She sent me pictures daily, which really put my mind at ease. She is a wonderful person and has a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and training.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. When I lived with my dad, we had 2 chihuahuas and 2 pit mixes. I’ve also had bunnies, fish, and birds. I’ve taken care of a chinchilla for a friend. I also used to have a guinea pig named Asher! I am experienced with different animals. I am self employed and have school online for real estate at my own pace, so I am free pretty much any day and any time unless I have an appointment that day! Then I can work after! I can either be a cuddly companion and or play with them by playing fetch or taking them out on walks! I will make sure to keep the house nice and clean while I stay in the home of my clients!😁

“I'm so incredibly glad I found Deanna. My cat has a long and complicated medical history, including multiple pills and therapies (even an inhaler). On top of that, I'd never had to leave her home alone before. Needless to say I was WORRIED. But Deanna knows her stuff!!! She took excellent care of my baby and now I never need to be worried about overnight travel again. I will without a doubt rebook house visits with Deanna again (and again and again).”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have one (spoiled) cat who has been my best friend since I was 10. I regularly cat sit for family and friends and dog sit for my grandparents, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent.. I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I work as a night shift nurse (7pm–7am) and typically work three consecutive nights during the week. On workdays, I am available for at most 2 drop-ins between shifts, depending on distance and timing. On my days off (usually 3–4 days a week), I have full availability for visits, care, walks, and extended time with your pet. My schedule is consistent, and I’ll always communicate clearly about availability in advance. I follow each pet’s routine as instructed, including feeding, litter care, walks, medications, and any specific quirks. I focus on keeping things consistent so they feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was 7. Always have a passion of becoming a veterinarian, also see different breeds. Really educational for me, more than a job. I currently am unemployed I’ll have time to take your lovely fur babies on walks, spending time out doors, sticking to whatever schedule you have given them, and make it a regular thing. It’s a fun freezone for your fur babies. I don’t necessarily have any pets but back at home I have a cat. I don’t believe in crates unless it’s a puppy & during training. But if needed I will accommodate with a crate and your fur babies necessities.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles ect. since I was 10. I have dogs of my own and they are my children. I absolutely love animals and enjoy every chance I get to be around them. We also have a litter so I’ve also been taking care of puppies for the past 3 months. It’s been a wonderful experience watching them grow up and hard to see them go to their furever homes. I’m off two days a week and I’m available everyday after 3. I also have vacation time that I can take as well if needed. I care for my own pets in my home. Caring for others pets I would go to their home and care for them. Getting them out for walks and playtime is important for them.
About: I raised all my animals from babies to senior age, noting their different personalities and tastes. Some have dietary needs and a feeding schedule and even given medicine as well. fed and taken outside at consistent times every day. used to the noise. Currently, I am available whenever. this will change in the future but as long as we can communicate, we can make things work. i prefer to work from 12-8 but i can change to morning availibilty if needed I'd offer the same service I'd want other people to do for my pets. making sure they all eat their food, taking them outside at appropriate times to do their business, and interacting with them in a friendly way. You tell me how you take care of your pets, and I will do my best to replicate that exactly so both you and your pets are comfortable
About: I have always owned animals from a young age which taught me the care that goes into animals whether it be dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, hermit crabs and anything else my brother and aunt would find an interest in. I worked in a small grooming salon when I was a teenager, learning how to groom for dogs and do simple care for them like ears and nails. I also personally own four cats. I currently am working part time and have free time randomly that it would be hard to get another job to fill that free time. I enjoy making time for the things that I enjoy I have several cat trees in my home, I have a whole cat room with beds and toys, I have several litter boxes around my (their) home that are cleaned twice a day. When I’m babysitting my niece and nephew overnight once a week, my aunt makes sure the cats have some company while I’m away for one night. When I care for my moms dog, there is a fenced in yard, I refill his water dish when fresh water, measure out and give him his dinner or breakfast, let him outside and throw a ball around with him and check on her cats too. Check their food bowls, get them fresh water and check their cat boxes along with play time
