About: I’ve always had a deep love for all kinds of animals, so I knew Rover would be the perfect opportunity for me. I currently have two golden retrievers named Winnie and Willow. Growing up I always had dogs as well so taking care of them is really familiar to me. I can’t wait to meet your animals! I currently have a part time job so I have a lot of extra time to care for your animals. I am available for walks or in home visits. I will always treat every animal like they are my own. Their safety and happiness is my number one concern. I will provide a detailed update after each visit.

Michelle is fantastic. Our doggy Sadie asked us if we could start going out so she can see her. I really appreciate how professional she is and cannot wait till she can doggy sit for us again. 😊

Amy checked in on my cats while I was out of town. She ensured they had food and water while I was away and even cleaned up any messes they made! I was so comforted to know that my cats were cared for while I was away. Amy did a great job!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and even a horse! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I raised and trained my two Boston Terriers from 8-weeks-old, and also cared for my late rescue, Leo, who lived to be an incredible 19 years old! I’ve been watching pets for family, friends, and neighbors for about five years now. I’ve looked after the stubborn corgi all the way to the giant mastiff. Whether you have one or five pets, all will be loved, spoiled, and safe. I am currently available for any service all day every day! If you need a boarding service, it must be done at your own home for the safety of both of our pets (my puppies are pretty territorial and the bird does not understand the concept of boundaries). I am prepared to provide your pet with whatever they need. Whether it be walks, medication, or cuddles, they will have my indefinite attention! Your pet’s care routine will be strictly followed to ensure that they feel comfortable, and you are more than welcome to request photos and updates!

About: I have grown up with dogs and have cared for all different breeds and sizes. I currently have a three legged pit mix who has taught me a lot about disabled dogs and dealing and training with reactive dogs. I work full time but have Fridays at home. I am also available almost every weekend, so if your ever out of town and need a dog walker please reach out! I will bring water and treats on our walks. Along with poop bags and an extra leash just in case. I will make sure the dog is happy and healthy the entire time.

Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

Emma was very friendly and caring for our needs and our cat Toki. The litter box was always cleaned, her food and water bowls were filled daily. What surprised me the most was that Toki is always so timid and hides, but she always came out for Emma to play! Would recommend and use her again next time we are out of town!

Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat. She was kind and played with her and even took care of her medicine. She went above and beyond by gathering the mail, watering our flowers and other miscellaneous. We will definitely be asking for Michelle again as we are now her newest repeat customers!

About: I’ve taken care of my boyfriend‘s dogs while they were out of town as well as brought my own dog to a family member’s house for the night in which I took care of him that entire time I have a part time job which happens to be very close to my house and other than that I’m most of the time available! Pets in my home get treated the same as my own pets. For the time they are here they’re family and we’ll get endless love and attention!

About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

Kathleen was fabulous! My dog loved her. Despite the cold weather she still managed to get my pup out for a walk during her drop in sessions and gave her some nice playtime as well. I would highly recommend Kathleen!!!!

About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.

I can’t count how many times I’ve hired Angela to watch my dog when I’ve gone out of town; She is hands down the best there is; no one is more punctual, communicative, and engaged as she is when caring for your pet. I know I can always relax while traveling for work or vacations because my dog will be in great hands. There is no one I’d trust more than Her.
