About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too.

About: I've been helping care for friends' and family's dogs since I was 10 years old. Because I've always loved dogs and hoped to have one of my own someday, I've spent a lot of time learning about dog care, behavior, training, and enrichment. I've worked with puppies frequently in the past and am comfortable with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency they require. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a specific routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits great into my routine. I have a flexible schedule, and I'm available throughout most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime and I always make sure to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible. While I do have some weekend commitments and can't do late nights, I have an otherwise open schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive the attention they need. When caring for puppies, I'm especially attentive to potty breaks, supervision, and maintaining any training routines. I'll also make keep the owners updated throughout the day.

“Cole was amazing with our beagle puppy, Cowboy. Cole was super communicative and friendly, and he took Cowboy on a long walk at the nearby dog park. Cole has dogs of his own, so he has a wealth of knowledge on how to train and take care of our dog. Would highly recommend Cole!”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!

“Lauren helped us out with a last minute booking. We instantly felt very comfortable with her and she was great with our dog. Punctual and great communication. We will definitely book her again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and had my own in early adulthood, but circumstances have been such that I can't have one of my own right now. That doesn't stop me from loving on dogs! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including those with special diets. I have a lot of flexibility at the moment and can be sure your dog gets walked early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the heat. I love to walk and will be happy to ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced yard and no pets of my own. I have a doggy doorbell at the back door that many dogs learn to use when they want to go in or out.

About: I've had a large dog since the age of 2, at one point I had two dogs and have consistently taken care of friends dogs as well as my grandparents 4 dogs in addition to my own. I am a consistent dog sitter and am expanding my services to rover after using referrals and the Nextdoor app previously I am available all day on weekends and work a relatively flexible schedule weekdays. I am gone from 8-3 but make sure to spend as much time with your animals as possible so they don’t miss you too much! I will care for my client’s pets in their home by staying in my designated area as well as making sure to complete each task they ask of me. I don't mind feeding your fish or watering your plants either!

About: Healthcare professional that loves to care for pets as much as people. I enjoy meeting new furry friends and helping to ensure they are safe and well cared for while their humans are away. I have a pretty flexible schedule currently that allows for daily pet visits and or in home care. Please provide the details of what your current needs are for your pet. I treat all animals with respect and provide a safe space for them to explore, play, and enjoy their time in my care. I appreciate the rewards of the joy they bring to my day.

About: Although we are new dog parents, we recently dog sat two dachshunds and it went great! We love dogs and would like to continue helping fellow dog parents. My husband and I currently both work from home. I work the night shift and he works during the day so there is usually someone always awake with the dogs. We have a fenced backyard, not too big but they can still run in it. My dogs love to play with other dogs and are friendly! We also have two crates if they need to be crated. We would love to do a Meet & Greet prior to committing if that would make you feel more comfortable.

About: I love all animals and I’m home all day and will treat your dog like my own. Walks, treats, potty breaks, whatever is needed to make your dog comfortable I will do it. I grew up doing 4-H and with Australian Shepherds and love animals of all kinds. I can also sit for small pets too like bunnies or chickens. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m usually around to watch your dog. If it fits into my schedule I will help you with your dog. I love all dogs and animals. I have a pet friendly very large fenced yard and one small dog. I can crate your dog if you prefer, or let them run in the yard or be in the house. I can walk your dog, watch your dog during the day or overnight. I can also give lots of potty breaks if needed. We treat dogs like family.

“Amy is very thorough and thoughtful. She took copious notes on my senior dog and changed her diaper and wiped her paws awesomely per my request. When faced with language barriers, Amy is still communicative, kind and respectful— my mom liked her too!”

About: I have owned pets since I was little. I have taken care of family and friends' animals for over 10 years now. I have 1 dog - her name is Kona, and 3 cats - Doug, Nola, and Simba. I am currently fostering 2 bearded dragons, 2 leopard geckos, and 1 rat. I will be your best friend(s) - second best friend I am available early mornings and in the evenings as well as all day Saturday and Sunday. I will make your pet smile! In my home, I allocate specific times of the day for pet-related activities such as feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming. My pets thrive on routine, and setting fixed times as it helps both me and my pets build trust. When offering pet care services, whether in my home or your home, the approach and considerations can vary to ensure the pets are happy, safe, and healthy. Here's a breakdown of how to approach pet care in both settings: In mt Home Prepare a Safe Space: Ensure my home is pet-proofed, removing any hazards or toxic substances pets can chew on or swallow. Have a dedicated space where the pet can feel secure and comfortable. Establish a Routine: Try to maintain the pet's usual feeding, walking, and playtime routine to minimize stress and anxiety. Provide Adequate Exercise: Depending on the pet's energy level and breed, provide appropriate exercise through walks, play sessions, or access to a secure backyard. Socialization: If you have pets, introduce them slowly and carefully to ensure they get along with the visiting pet. Monitor their interactions. Personal Attention: Spend quality time with each pet to provide affection and mental stimulation. This can include grooming, cuddling, and interactive play. Health Care: Administer any required medications and be prepared to handle emergencies by knowing the location of the nearest vet. In your Home Respect the Space: I treat the client's home with respect, ensuring it's as clean (or cleaner) when they return. This includes properly disposing of pet waste. Stick to the Pet’s Routine: Maintain the pet's normal feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to provide a sense of stability. Ensure Security: Always double-check that doors and gates are securely locked after you enter or exit the premises to prevent the pet from escaping. Daily Updates: Keep the pet owner updated with daily texts, photos, or videos to reassure them that their pet is in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: Know the location of the nearest veterinary hospital and have the pet owner's contact information readily available in case of emergencies. Home Care Tasks: If agreed upon, perform additional tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or other simple chores to help maintain the home.

About: From my family dog growing up, taking care of roommates’ dogs, and now my own sweet Pomeranian, I love spending time with dogs of all ages. My own dog has dietary restrictions and takes medication so I understand that every dog has unique needs. I would love to get to know your dog! I currently have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m available for drop in visits and walks between 7am and 8pm Monday-Friday. I am very diligent with pet safety both in the home and out on walks. I can accommodate safety requests such as crating as needed.

About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home

“Lisa was great! I really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet a few days prior to our first walk so that she could determine if we would be a good fit!”
