About: BEST CARE ANYWHERE! I have over 50 years professional experience caring for dogs, I am now retired. I have worked in the boarding, grooming, training and vet tech fields. My home is calm and quiet, nervous dogs do great with me. My back yard is fully fenced; my back door opens into that backyard. Customized meals for every dog. Home and dog areas cleaned daily and sanitized and sterilized weekly. 1. YOUR DOG MUST BE UP TO DATE WITH VACCINES! 2. YOUR DOG MUST BE FRIENDLY WITH OTHER DOGS and be 25 pounds or less! I am retired and need to feel I am contributing to society in some small way. I love animals and they love me, so this is a good fit for me. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, horses, cattle, goats, chickens, rabbits, snakes, reptiles, raccoons and some small wildlife (depending on their needs) in their home or mine!
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent time volunteering at dog shelters, which has helped me understand and connect even more deeply with our furry best friends. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves playtime, or prefers snuggles and a calm walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs! I’m reliable, gentle, and truly passionate about what I do. I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐶💖 Right now I’m not working, and I study online from home—so I’m pretty much always around! That means I have tons of time and flexibility to care for pets whenever needed. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have three dogs of my own—two super friendly Shih Tzus and one sweet Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. They love meeting new furry friends and are great at keeping other dogs company! But if your pup prefers their own space, no worries—I can easily keep them separated to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s requested by the owner. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, trips to the park, or just some relaxing cuddle time. My home is full of love, and your fur baby will be treated like part of the family!
“Kiara was exceptional! She sent updates, photos and was super fast to respond. Best part was that my fur baby came home exhausted from a fun day of playing!”
About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Whether it's playful walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply offering a watchful eye, I prioritize their happiness and comfort. With personalized attention and a deep understanding of canine needs, I do attempt to house train with the time I have with every furry friend I receive, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best hands. I am a college student, getting my degree in digital design. Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.
“Ruverlyn is a really nice, capable, and accommodating doggy daycare provider. We appreciated the many sweet things she did to help us & make our puppy comfortable in her home.”
“She is so great! My babies warmed up fast to her! Sends lots of updates, which I love! Very friendly and will definitely hire her everytime I bring the dogs with me on vacation❤️”
“Jose was great. We did the daycare option for our elderly fur baby. He ensured that she was in a space where she would be comfortable. Jose took her for walks and sent pictures and videos of her. Also, Jose communicated any changes in the stay. I appreciated that he alerted me to 2 dogs that would be joining that evening in advance of our arrival. I’m always nervous to leave my baby with someone new but Jose is the exactly the type of person I hope for when I do.”
About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!
About: I have had a big passion for animals since childhood. I grew up with many animals and always dreamed of working with animals. I graduated from university with an associate in veterinary technician. I been working for several years in veterinary medicine and doggy daycare i really have fun and enjoy all my time with them. I’m currently working 3 days per week, usually I’m off on Sunday and the rest of the time at home. My schedule rotates, I do not always have the same days off. I have an empty room only for them, small cage if needed and a porch that they can be around. I’m a pet friendly and I always walk my dog around so he can enjoy the complex.
About: I started working in the animal care industry at 15 as a kennel technician at a vets office, I went to college and became a certified veterinary technician. I have been dog sitting and pet sitting for 10 plus years. I am pending employment as a technician 4 days a wk when I am working my husband assists with walks and feeding. I try to walk pets about 4-5 times a day. I work 4 days a week and on those days my husband assists with noon walks and afternoon walks and feeding. I have a fenced yard and multi bedroom house, my pets are crate trained or have their own room to avoid exposure and stress. I do not co mingle my personal pets with other animals. A multiple acre fully fenced property, that has an automatic refilling livestock tank/doggy pool available when outside.
“Jon took great care of our energetic puppy and sent great pictures and updates. You can tell he loves animals and takes their care seriously!”
“Deanna was incredibly helpful and took amazing care of our dog, Mabel. We had a visitor in town and wanted to do some day trip-type activities, so we dropped Mabel off for daycare with Deanna a few days throughout the week. Each day, our pup came home tired, but extremely happy. You could tell she enjoyed being with Deanna and her pups. Highly recommend her care!!!”
“Jani was great with Junior. He only stayed with her for the day. He can be fickle in his old age but loves people. She did great getting him comfortable in her home and giving him attention but also his freedom when needed. I received constant pictures which is always great! Will use Jani again if needed!”
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs. From friends to family to strangers, there is never a dog that I refuse to say hello to and get to know. As an individual who has plenty of professional AND personal experience with pets, taking care of loving dogs comes as easily as breathing. I spent two years with a professional pet sitting company in Winter Park, so I am well versed in ultimately all dogs/cats. I am a quick learner and am always open to learning more about animals + how to properly care for each individual fluffy-friend. I am available most days and time. As a college student, my classes are mostly online and I can adjust my schoolwork according to you the days I do not have class! I am always trying my best to accommodate any customer needs. My house has a small yard, but any pet stays at my residence would include walks around the neighborhood anyways. Since I work from home, my pets will be working hard sleeping on the couch or on a bed somewhere. My pets and your pets would get plenty of love and attention as well as treats (if allowed).
About: I've drawn dogs to me for years that people say...my dog doesn't like anyone!... I love dogs and children and I promise to treat your precious cargo like my own! I revolve my days and needs around my dogs that need me not the other way around. So should your doggie need something extra or special like being taken to a vet visit I'm your girl! When it comes to careing for you dog for an extended time like when you go on vacation I prefer to do that in your home where your dog feels comfortable because it is already traumatic for them when you leave.
