About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.
About: I’ve worked in a dog day care and a daycare/ boarding facility, sometimes caring for around 40 dogs in one room for up to 8 hours. My duties included deep cleaning, spot cleaning accidents, laundry, outside playtime, indoor playtime, inspecting dogs for injuries, carefully observing dogs, monitoring for any illness or behavioral changes, deescalating altercations between dogs, and preparing breakfast and dinner for over 60 dogs during holidays in a timely fashion while following individual instructions for food and medicine. Once I stayed 40 minutes after my shift ended to accommodate a new pug who was a lot slower at eating than the others so he could finish his meal fully before I collected and cleaned up, despite my boss telling me I can clean up and go. Of course, I’d want someone to do that for my family. I have worked with small dogs a bunch, however, I’ve spent most time with medium and large dogs. I have experience being a live-in dog sitter for 2 senior dogs with arthritis, for which I had to administer medication, and one with an ACL injury, for which I gave physical support and comfort. I took them both potty outside every 2-3 hours. I have a German Shepherd-Pitbull mix and a full Pitbull who I trained in basic obedience on my own. They know the commands “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come”, “paw”, “speak”, “go”, and “let’s go.” They are also trained to wait to eat while their bowls are in front of them until I say “eat” which can help train impulsive behavior, I can open their cage doors and they’ll sit until I say “free”, and they understand the word “off” when they’ve hopped up somewhere they got no business being! My dogs are very active. My favorite activities to do with them include hikes, fetch in the backyard, running after them saying “I’m gonna get youuu!!”, treat treasure hunts in the yard and house, puzzles, lick mats, and last, but certainly not least… CUDDLES! Your fur babies will have lots of fun, love, and care while hanging out with me! I’m a full time pet care taker! So I have plenty of time to hang out with my fur friends! I’m available for house sitting, doggy daycare, and walks at all hours of the day on Monday, Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available from 6am-10am and 7pm-8pm. I’m available for boarding on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights. I care for each pet as I would my own and according to owner’s instructions while making sure client concerns and input are heard and considered. I like to spend a lot of outdoor time with dogs in a fenced in yard or on a leash around the neighborhood. For overnights I’d sleep with dogs in bed or guide them to their crate depending on the circumstances. During indoor time I like to cuddle, pet, and play mentally stimulating games with dogs, see if they’re interested in dog tv, and sometimes even teach them tricks if I’m able. I take dogs potty on a leash unless there is a fenced in yard I can use. For cats, I’d like to take them on walks around the yard if permitted, engage in sniffing and chasing games with treats and toys, convince myself I can teach them to sit on command (haven’t succeeded yet.), and give them as much loving as they want!
About: I have been pet sitting for 9 years, nearly 10 and I have 6 dogs as well as a cat of my own! I have a passion for caring for animals and I would love to care for yours too! I currently work per diem so I have a very flexible schedule! If you choose to book me to care for your pet I will be more than happy to work my schedule for the week around the care you need! I typically work overnights only twice a week so I am available! I will provide your pet with whatever type of care they need! Whether that be giving medications, extra time outside for high energy pets, etc. Whatever is going to help your pet thrive is what I will provide!
“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”
About: With lifelong pet experience, I care for dogs and cats of all sizes, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I can administer meds, run errands, and tidy your home! I'm currently working full-time remotely. This means I can check on your pets during my lunch break, or cater my schedule to your pet's needs. I am also available most evenings and weekends. I love caring for pets in their own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I tailor my care to their needs—whether it’s administering medication for a cat with thyroid issues, encouraging them to eat, or providing gentle walks for senior pets like my late dog. For high-energy dogs, like my parents’ chocolate lab, I engage in active play, while small pets who need extra help, like my friend’s Pomeranian and Pekingese, get all the cuddles and lifts they need. I'm flexible and dedicated to providing the best care for your pet and your home!
“Nicole and her boyfriend Chris were great! We waited until pretty last minute for a New Year's trip and luckily she was free to sit our Italian greyhounds, one of which has pretty bad anxiety. We are also pretty adamant about sitters letting our dogs sleep in the bed with them and Nicole was completely on board with it. They took great care of our place while we were gone and even left us a Thank You card and a candle! We will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”
“Rich is very responsible, he took care of Shiraz in our home while we were away. He spent lots of time with Shiraz so that he wouldn’t have to be crated, we were very grateful for him.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I am an elementary Special Education teacher who is looking to care for cats and pups during my off days and hours. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games with them. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Jessica for over five years, and during that time, she has consistently demonstrated her love and care for animals, especially dogs. As the owner of a Pomeranian named Zara, I can personally attest to Jessica's exceptional ability to care for pets. She has watched Zara on numerous occasions, sometimes for as long as two weeks, and I have always been impressed by the level of attention and care she provides. Jessica treats Zara as if she were her own, making sure that she is not only fed and walked but also comfortable and happy. She is incredibly attentive to Zara's needs and never hesitates to go above and beyond to make sure she feels loved. Jessica's natural love for dogs and animals has been evident throughout our friendship, and I can't think of anyone better suited to work with animals. I have no doubt that Jessica would be a fantastic addition to Rover, and I highly recommend her for any role that involves caring for dogs. She would thrive in this environment, and any pet in her care would be in excellent hands.”
