Isabel has been a delight to get to know and her enthusiasm with Mulligan is awesome. There is no hesitation asking Isabel back when needed to walk or take advantage of future boarding or play dates.

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

About: I am a second year zoology major with the intention of further education in animal care. I have cared for the family dogs for just about six years (a combined number of four at this point). I am my family and friends' go to sitter. I am reliable and consistent. I am comfortable with pretty much anything, and have plenty of experience with reactive/aggressive dogs. During the summer I work full-time, and I'm a full-time student during the school year, however I don't have much going on outside of that and have plenty of time for drop-in care throughout the day. I’m also totally okay with overnight stays. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide boarding services due to my living situation. I am happy to provide whatever services you need within your home!

About: Mom to two energetic pups.🐶 Roy (english setter) & Banks (black lab) keep my life exciting! We enjoy swimming, running, & a good ole cuddle on the couch. As someone whose job requires traveling, I understand the stress it can be to have someone else watch your pups. I’m here to hopefully make your life easier & remove extra anxiety that pups can cause when you’re traveling without them 💓 I am currently a Division 1 coach whose competition season is in the fall, so I only have Mondays off, but my spring season allows me to have an easier schedule with weekends free! I have two friendly, active pups who love to make new friends! I live within 5 miles of 3 different parks that I love taking my pups to!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!

About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for a range of animals from chickens to cats. From there, I have always had a pet to share my heart with. I have had guinea pigs, cats, dogs in my own home and have yet to meet an animal I don't get along with. I am looking for flexible work so that I can finish writing my novel without letting the burden of finances fall completely on my husband. I figure walking and caring/sitting for animals to help keep my family fed is a great match for me, my personality, and my love for animals. I used to work 13 hour days, an hour from home, so I understand the importance of a pet nanny and would be honored to help you with that need! My two fur babies, Lily (9 year old Ragamuffin kitty) and Ellie (5 year old German Shepherd) have different personalities and co-habitate beautifully, but I would not want to introduce other animals into my home. Both of my girls are rescues from different shelters (Angels for Animals and One of a Kind Pet Rescue) and they both lived stressful lives before me so my job is to give them sanctuary and love. That said, in regard to care, Lily is pretty self regulated. Every other day, her food bowl is re-filled (no, you can't see the bottom of the bowl but she's my sweet princess who gets what she wants) and her kitty litter is scooped every other day and changed as needed. Ellie is a rescued Puppy Mill momma who grew up in a very confusing way and is forever married to routine. To keep her happy and healthy, we let her out same time each day (7am) where she eats 1.5 cups of food, potty break at 12pm and again at 5pm (1.5 cups). Ellie's gets let out 3 times a day, per her wants because I try to let her out more and if she doesn't have to go potty, she turns around and lays on her Tempur-Pedic bed. Otherwise, when the weather is appropriate Ellie and I take a minimum of a 15 minute walk in the park behind my house. I hope this description helps you trust that your fur babies will consider me "Auntie Marah" soon enough, and that they are in safe and caring hands with me. I am happy to answer any questions!

About: Hi there! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter 😊 Thanks so much for stopping by my profile and considering me to care for your fur babies! I’ve been working with animals professionally through Rover since 2019 and my passion for pet care goes back even further to 2006 when I got my first pup. At home, I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by my own little zoo—I have two dogs (ages 8 and 6) and four cats. I’ve also cared for a senior pup who lived to be 21, so I understand the needs of pets at every stage of life. This also gave me experience in administering oral and injection style medication’s. Whether your pet loves long walks, chill neighborhood strolls, hikes, or just quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their comfort level and routine. I also offer reliable cat sitting and small animal care, and I always treat pets like family. If you’re heading out of town, you can count on me for photo updates, clear communication, and peace of mind knowing your pets are in loving hands. If you think we’d be a good fit, feel free to send me a message—I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can help! Your routine and pets needs absolutely have to come first! While in the pre-booking process, we will discuss the schedule that works best for you and your pet to make sure we will be a good match for each other. Additionally, I will have my phone on with the volume up at all times while your pet is in my care. If you need to reach me or just want a picture of your baby, it’s minutes away!

About: I grew up with two dogs at home, a small schnauzer poodle mix and a larger vizsla. I have been taking care of them and walking them consistently for around 6 years. One is very energetic, friendly, but pulls a lot on a leash and the other is more reserved and not great with other dogs, so I have experience working with both types of dogs. I also was taking care of a friend’s puppy recently, so I am experienced with puppies/younger dogs as well. I just recently got a kitten and I am obsessed with her! I am available almost every morning/early afternoon. There are a few days during the week where I am available all day. Available on some weekends as well. My care is guided by information from clients about their pets. You know your pet best! I am always willing to switch up my approach based on each pet’s individual needs!

About: I have handled small animals and reptiles for 9 years, cats and dogs for 7, and horses and livestock for 6! I have a variety of experience with many different breeds with many different temperaments. There isn’t much I can’t handle! I currently only work part time at a local rescue/shelter so I have some time on my hands! I have my own car that I don’t mind getting some fur and dirt in, so if your pups are a fan of hikes or just want to go on an adventure that’s no problem for me! I take animal care and welfare very seriously, my babies get water and food dishes scrubbed daily, proper diet tailored to their needs, whatever exercise they require, and all the attention they could ever ask for! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping a clean, happy, healthy environment for them!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. Also, have been trusted by many family members & friends to take care of their dogs. This includes taking care of an elderly dog who takes multiple medications & has some trouble getting around, & on the other end of the spectrum a very active & young husky, plus many more! I am a full time athletic trainer at a college, but get a month off in the summer. The other month I work during the summer I only work 4 hour shifts so will have plenty of time to attend to pups! Moving forward after summer I can pick up random week nights & weekends here & there! I am an active person so would love to walk with a dog & take it out to run around & play! On the flip side, I also love cuddles & will give your pups all the attention they would need!

About: I've been a dog and cat owner my entire life and have a deep love for animals of all kinds. I'm especially passionate about rescue animals and understand that pets are much more than pets, they're family. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I'm experienced with different personalities, needs, and routines. I also have experience with pets with medical needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'm committed to providing a reliable, loving experience for both you and your animal. I work in education and I am off for the summer which allows me plenty of time to help care for your fur babies! I have a lot of flexibility to be able to offer drop- in visits and walking services. I currently only offer drop- in visits and walking, which will allow your pet to receive care in the comfort of familiar places! Their comfort is of the utmost importance to me!

About: Hi, my name is Sophia and I have a deep love for all animals. Although my beloved beagle passed away a couple years ago, I truly miss the companionship of pets, which is one of the reasons I’m so excited to help care for other animals. I’ve previously worked as a dog walker and pet sitter, where I gained experience with feeding,walking,grooming and providing plenty of love and attention to pets. In my current role as an Occupational Therapist Assistant in home health, I have also had the pleasure of interacting with my patients’ animals, which has only deepened my appreciation for pets. I also love capturing adorable photos of the animals I care for, as a way to share their unique personalities with their owner. I make my own schedule for work, so you let me know when is best for you and I should be able to make it work. I pay attention to any changes in behaviors and will notify you if anything seems off. Communication is very important to me so I will be also checking in with you to make sure everything is going well.

Brooke was incredible!! We needed someone to walk our dog for the 2.5 weeks we were going to be gone. Normally I am a nervous wreck when being away from my dog that long, but Brooke made me feel more at ease! She also helped with some extra things that we needed while we were away and I could not have been more grateful! She was punctual, responsible, and consistent! I am so glad we found Brooke! She has clients now for as long as she continues to have time to care of animals! Thank you so much sister! You are THE BEST!❤️
