“My pup EeVee loved her walkie at the dog park on her first day care & making new friends at Maria's house. Maria's fur babies are welcoming & gentle. She updated me with EeVee's photos during the walk. Maria also shared with me good advice on how to train dogs & keep them healthy. It was EeVee's very first time going to a day care so I let EeVee try for 2 hours & she seemed comfortable under Maria's care. I also felt safe leaving EeVee at Maria's. Thank you!”

“My puppy had an amazing time at Katelyn’s. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day which I really appreciate. He was so tired he couldn’t keep his head upon our drive home.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

“Sammy is awesome! She took care of my small pup wonderfully. We picked our dog late due to some unexpected delay at Rocky Mountain, but Sammy kindly understood us. Thank you! Also Ohsam loved playing with Sammy's pup!”

“10/10 Gaby takes great care of my little man. Throughout the day she sends us pictures of my dog out on walks, lounging on the couch, or playing with his toys. It’s extremely comforting knowing that Bodee is so well taken care of and happy in all the updates. Highly recommend.”

“Cassandra provided photos and updates when she took my pup to the park and for cuddle time! I will be using Cassandra again to care for my pup.”

“Highly recommend Brandon! He was quick to respond and Django said he was really cool to hang out with 😃. Took him for a long walk and sent me a picture of him, too. We will absolutely contact Brandon for future visits.”

About: I love to make sure animals feel comfortable in their environment and feel nurtured as well as loved. Making sure they feel safe is the most important part of it all. The reason I love to pet sit is to give comfort to the pet and parent that their animal is receiving almost the same love they would from their own mom and dad away from a boarding facility and in a warm environment with lots of love and snuggles. I don’t like to think of a fur baby being locked away and scared so that’s where I come into play, to make sure they feel safe and secure and have a play buddy I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule, so I am normally home or available to help when needed. I am able to accommodate whatever needs come up. I can take the dog for a walk as well as we have a fenced in dog park and a place for dogs to play. The dog would never leave my site. For cats, I would ensure they are safe, and do not get out of the house, they have all needs met and are comfortable whether hiding or playing.

“Phillip was amazing ! I had a last minute appt and he was very accommodating. Hutch tan right over and bonded with Phillip. He sent lots of pictures and I felt good knowing Hutch was safe and sound while I worked to show boats to my client. I would absolutely recommend Phillip and use him again!”

About: I have always loved animals! I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and health conditions.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I had a family dog for 18 years and I currently have a small fur baby of my own. We go for walks and he enjoys lots of cuddles. I have the luxury of being home often but I know how stressful it can be to coordinate care for your pets and finding someone you can trust. I’m here to help alleviate that stress and care for your loved ones like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule so going for walks and play time and scheduled feedings are easily scheduled with my flexible availability I take long walks often. I have a small maltipoo who is super loving and friendly and will also enjoy the company! I’m home through the day as I work from home so I enjoy spending the day with the fur babies
