About: I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs for 18 years, and caring for pets has just always come naturally to me. I also foster dogs, cats, and small critters, so I have experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs Pet care fits so naturally into my day because I genuinely love having animals around me. My schedule is super flexible. I’m in part-time school and work part-time so I have plenty of time. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I keep a close eye on them at all times making sure they’re safely leashed outside, supervised during playtime, and always comfortable. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, like feeding schedules, crate time, or potty breaks, so they feel calm and at home. There’s always lots of love, attention, and gentle structure to keep them happy and safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, respect is everything to me. I treat your space the same way I’d want mine treated clean, careful, and mindful of your rules. Whether I’m staying overnight or just stopping by for a walk, I make sure your pet gets all the care they need while also keeping your home tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m very routine friendly, so I happily follow your pet’s normal schedule, house rules, and comfort needs.

Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.

About: My experience in pet care spans several years, during which I have cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and small pets. I am adept at providing essential care such as feeding, grooming, and exercise, as well as administering medications when necessary. I prioritize the well-being and comfort of pets under my care, ensuring they receive love, attention, and a safe environment. Pet care fits into my schedule through careful planning and dedication. I allocate specific times each day for feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime, ensuring that pets receive the attention they need. This structured approach helps me balance their needs with my other responsibilities, such as work or school commitments. Additionally, I prioritize flexibility to accommodate unexpected events or emergencies, ensuring that pets always receive consistent and reliable care. This commitment allows me to maintain a harmonious routine that benefits both pets and their owners. In my approach to caring for pets, whether at my own home or at a client's residence, I maintain a consistent and attentive routine tailored to the needs of each individual animal: **Caring for Pets in My Home:** 1. **Dedicated Space:** I provide a safe and comfortable area within my home where pets can relax and feel at ease. 2. **Regular Exercise:** Daily walks, play sessions, and opportunities for exploration are integrated into their schedule. 3. **Nutritional Care:** I ensure pets receive balanced meals according to their dietary requirements, with access to fresh water at all times. 4. **Grooming:** Regular brushing, grooming, and hygiene maintenance are part of their routine to keep them clean and healthy. 5. **Social Interaction:** Pets receive companionship and attention throughout the day to prevent loneliness and promote mental stimulation. **Caring for Pets in Client's Home:** 1. **Respectful Environment:** I follow the homeowner's guidelines for pet care and house rules to maintain a harmonious environment. 2. **Routine Maintenance:** Feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks are performed according to the pet's usual schedule to minimize disruption. 3. **Activity and Engagement:** I engage pets in activities they enjoy, such as playtime, walks, or training exercises. 4. **Health Monitoring:** Observing for any signs of illness or discomfort, and promptly notifying the owner if concerns arise. 5. **Home Security:** Respecting the security protocols of the client's home, ensuring doors are securely locked and any alarms are set as instructed. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care, maintaining open communication with owners to provide updates and ensure peace of mind while they are away.

About: Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know. I am currently a student who mainly works from home so I have plenty of time and a wide open schedule to care for your precious pets. My house is smoke free, pet safe and pet friendly. You can rest assured your companion is safe, cared for and happy with me. I love dogs and dogs love me!

About: I'm 36 years old, I love animals and recently got out of the Navy. My family has four dogs back home, kimchi (pitbull lab mix), Indy (German shepherd mix) Louis and Rene (daschunds), and three cats that we rescued (Jiji, Cleo and Smokey). In high school I worked as a kennel worker at a veterinary hospital for 2 years and love working with animals. I’ve spent some time volunteering at local animal shelters at different places I was stationed with the military. I really enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes and would love to take care of your pets while you’re away. I’m available for house-sitting, drop in visits and dog walks. I work nights from 8 pm-6:30 am, I’m off 7 days/6 nights in a row every other week, feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know if I work any of the dates you’re interested in. During a week where I work, I would be able to come back to your pet in the morning and feed them breakfast/either go for a walk or hang out a bit. Afterwards I would sleep from roughly 8:30 am-12:30pm. When I wake up at 12:30 I can offer your pet a midday walk/potty break/or just some one on one time. Around 3 pm, I may take a 2-3hr nap, but otherwise I will be free from 12:30 pm until I need to leave for 8 pm shift. If you have questions/concerns with this schedule I’m more than happy to answer them. When I am off I switch back to a normal daytime schedule will be able to spend the day/night with your pet. When watching your pet, I’m there for your pet. If they want to hang out and do nothing, we’ll do that. If they want to go for walks, hikes or adventures, we’ll do that. I can accommodate myself to fit your pet’s needs.

“Brendan is reliable and wonderful with our Siberian Husky! We really appreciate that he connects with our pup and takes him on long, brisk walks.”
