About: We love iur 4 legged babies and treat them like family members. We have threebabies and they are spoiled rotten. I make homemade treats for them which they get a morning and nite time treat. We gave a feeding schedule which is 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. They all sleep with us and settle in with us for tv time in the evening. . One of our girls even has a car seat because she loves going with me when u can take her. As u can see like I said earlier we live dogs. I would have more if I had room and lots if land.. we donate when we can to the spca. Anyone u ask would tell u that we are great with animals and trust us with their fur babies. I am retired and have no children living at home. I love animals and treat them like family. I’m also available to set with your babies at your home or mine. I try to have a set schedule for walking. Playing. Feeding and rest times. I believe all pets need lots of love and attention. I request proof of vaccinations. The dogs will never be left alone.

About: I treat every pet like family giving them the same love patience and attention I give my own. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from following special diets to keeping up with favorite routines, so they feel safe, happy, and loved. I also love sending photo updates, so you can see their happy face while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Even with my part-time job, I plan my schedule so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I make sure each pet gets my full attention and care, whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long stay. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, whether in my home or yours. I follow routines closely, keep a watchful eye during play and walks, and make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure.

About: Growing up on a farm I am no stranger to all kinds of animals! I have cared for every type of pet including Puppies, Senior Dogs, Cats, All Farm Animals, Birds, Reptiles, and more! Giving love to pets while their owners are away is the best job in the world! I treat every animal as if it was my own! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own and love them to pieces. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently work part time in the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale Area. I have usually all mornings and evenings free as I mainly work during the day. However my schedule is super flexible and I have lots of days off! With caring for your pets in your home I make sure they are just as comfortable as if you were home! I have no issues with any animals or the age of those animals. When doing overnight care I include basic cleaning and household tasks if requested.

About: I have never met a pup or kitty I couldn't befriend! Pets have been an important part of my life for the lion's share of it. I have experience sitting for a large range of dog breeds and I have have taken care of cats most of my life. My schedule is very flexible. As long as I have prior notice, I can fit pet care into any part of my week. I am hoping to develope this into something full time. I have a home with a large yard in the country. Plenty of room for pups to run around. Inside is a nice cool wood floor for pups to rest on after playtime.

My husband and I are a pet care team located just minutes from Ft. Bragg, and we treat every pet in our home like one of our own.

Many return again and again! 🐶 For Dog Parents: 🏡 Home & Yard Setup: • Large fully fenced backyard for exercise, play, and sunbathing. • Three rooms in the house, separated with gates for comfort and safety. • Indoor and outdoor security cameras for peace of mind. • Dogs are crated when we step away from the house to ensure everyone stays safe.

If your dog needs solo accommodations or doesn’t get along with others, just let us know in advance. • Please ensure your dog arrives clean for their stay.

I would be happy to do house visits instead. 🌙 Nighttime Routine: We stick to your dog’s usual bedtime habits, whether that means a crate, a special blanket, or cuddling on the couch. Just let us know what helps your pup feel secure at night! 🐾 Behavioral Support: We’re experienced with shy, anxious, or high energy dogs and can accommodate special routines or extra space if needed. Communication is key, let us know your dog’s quirks and we’ll take care of the rest. 🐕 Resident Dogs: • Archer and Xeena are playful and full of energy, great for social dogs! • Koda is sweet and mellow, she prefers human company and usually hangs out in our bedroom.

About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to dogs! I grew up in a 5-dog household, so chaos, cuddles, and constant tail wags have always been normal for me. I’ve also been dog sitting for my grandma since I was about 12 (22 now) whenever she travels, helping with feeding, walks, and general care. Now I live on a ranch with 3 dogs, plus horses & other animals. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I have the ability to adjust my routine to accommodate pet care on my days off. I take Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, and I’m available after 3 PM on Saturdays sometimes earlier upon request. This gives me plenty of time to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I prioritize ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need during my available hours. When I’m watching pets at their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just hanging out, I keep them busy and happy while giving them some love and attention. I also take care to keep their space tidy and make sure everything is safe for the pets. My goal is to make them feel like they’re getting all the love and care they need while their owner is away.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and the way they respond to me in return. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, build trust, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m fully available for regular visits and last-minute bookings. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule. At home, my own dog enjoys frequent walks, playtime, and plenty of treats — and I bring that same energy and attention to every pet I look after. Whether I’m providing care in a familiar environment or welcoming a new furry friend into my home, I focus on creating a fun, caring, and reliable experience

About: I loved dogs since I was little always feeding the stray dogs no matter what. The care of animals always comes first for me. Seeing any kind of animal get hurt breaks my heart. I try my best to show them love even if I can't keep them with me. I have a husky of my own, I always give him is morning and nightly walks along even if I have school I always make time for him! During my school hours (I am in college) my schedule will change but I'll try not to. I can do Tuesday and Thursday. My classes start at 11am-3:10pm if you are willing to work with that I am happily to be able to work with you as well 😊 I would show the animal love and care! I always praise them for being so well behaved, if they are shy it will take time, I'll start small keep my distance so I wont stress them. Trust takes time and it always comes with an amazing bond 💖

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
