About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, especially dogs and cats. Friends and neighbors have consistently relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep routines consistent and make animals feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, whether that means giving an energetic dog a good walk or taking the time to earn the trust of a more reserved cat. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and committed to making sure every pet is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Because my work schedule varies, I can often work around your pet’s normal routine whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. My goal is to keep your pet’s schedule as normal and stress free as possible while you’re away. I focus on providing care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. I’m available for house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and consistency while you’re away.

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 8. My mother used to raise Yorkshire terriers and I was required to do a lot of help with them. (I have assisted in multiple birthings when I was little LOL) As a child, I was the neighborhood animal sitter. As an adult, I have pet sit with multiple animals, big and small. I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals. Animals are family and I fully intend to treat them as my own! ALL dogs are required to be up to date on bordetella, hepatitis, rabies, distemper, parvo, and parainfluenza before booking. I will require proof of vaccines. ALL Cats and dogs are required to be on a monthly heartworm preventative and flea and tick medicine before booking. Please provide proof at booking. Lastly, if you are booking overnights in YOUR home.. please know my kiddos would be tagging along. They are extremely well behaved and will not harm anything. The only thing they will do is give your furry babies all kinds of extra lovin! If you are not comfortable with children being in your home(overnight) then I am unfortunately not the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pawsome friends🐾 I work full time, Monday- Friday typically 8-5. I do work away from home. I am able to do checkins, walks, or any other animal care before and after work. Weekends I have an open schedule! I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.

About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals and have spent the last year gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes. I am highly active and love taking pups on long walks, hikes, or runs to burn off energy. I pride myself on being reliable and communicative, ensuring your furry best friend is safe, happy, and well-exercised while you're away! As a student-athlete balancing training and studies, I thrive on a reliable routine. My current schedule offers solid blocks of free time during the day, plus fully open weekends, to provide dedicated, attentive care and plenty of exercise to your furry family members. Growing up with dogs, I understand how important their safety and security are. With my athletic background, I am highly observant, energetic, and fully capable of handling large, strong, or high-energy dogs safely on walks. I always ensure doors are locked and pets are completely comfortable before I leave your home.
