About: I tend to be able to understand a dog's motivations and emotions, and I can calm them if upset or discipline them kindly and effectively. I want to be an animal behaviorist, so I really make it a point to understand them. All dogs I have met love me, and I love them too, so it works well. Dogs are just trying their best to be a great companion, and when their companion is away, I can be there. I work well with cats and other animals, too. I have raised dogs to their old age, and I have fostered puppies. I have experience with dogs that don't want to listen very well, and dogs that listen to every word. I can look after your dog any time during the week, and occasionally during the weekend. If you have questions about my availability, feel free to ask. I am between jobs right now, so I have all the time in the world for you and your little buddies. Just let me know when! Your pets will be supervised inside the house and out. They'll receive any meals and medicines at the proper times, and go for as many potty breaks and walks as the little fellas want. You will have no mess to clean up when you return.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention! I will follow directions and make sure I give them lots of love and attention. I do not work currently. I only have to be at home at 2 to pick up my daughter from school. But I have a pretty open schedule. I walk my dog three times a day to ensure there aren’t any accidents at home. I have a gate in case i have to separate pets.

“Miranda does a great job! I have four dogs and five cats, and I am 100% confident in her ability to take care of them while I travel for work. My last trip was five days, all my furry friends were well taken care of and, the best part, I know that she loves what she does. Thanks Miranda!”

“Mary is the best!! I have an eight year old anxiety riddled Doberman who is a bit needy and misses her momma. I also have a two year old cat Karen who is full of energy! They both love Mary and enjoy her visits. It gives me great piece of mind to know that my dog and kitty are well cared for while I am away on my vacations. Even if it’s a long work day she can stop during the day to give my dog a break outside and companionship. I live in Garden Prairie and am so glad I found Mary. If you love your pets, give Mary a call. Both your pets and you will be glad you did!! Amanda”

“Katie is wonderful! She met Dobby and he loved her. I could tell she was a doggy person right away! She took great care of my fur baby, sent pics, updates, and was very flexible with her schedule. I will be using Katie again and again for our pups walks.”

“Marlene was a great dog walker for Ruby! She made sure to keep me informed and took adorable pictures of Ruby on her walks! Highly recommend.”

About: Individualized, attentive, trustworthy care. 35+ years experience of quality dog ownership, also kitties. Personal walks along the lake drive a block away (good weather), at Duck Pond or in a quiet neighborhood otherwise. Guests usually accompany us on car outings if enjoyable for them. Individual attention with (usually) maximum of 2 visitors, unless same family (may add 1 if able). Interesting, fully fenced native plant yard. Our typical walks are 1.6 mi, more or less depending on your request, pet's comfort, bad weather, We have a calm, quiet environment, so if your pet enjoys lots of stimulation and chasing others, a better fit would be a Rover provider home where there are several obliging friends around, and continual activity. My guests do receive much personal attention and interaction; return guests always show their owners they are very happy to return. Excellent ball/toy throwing skills (owner, :-), attention to special needs/requests, Lots of care to become comfortable. I am also an RN and open to special needs of visitors. I do not typically crate. Daily updates My guests may often enjoy a brush, comb or Furminator session. Please note- I cannot accept very large dogs (usually over 45#) or those whose leash manners are not reliable. If they pull and choke I will try walking with a harness (yours), Puppies, young dogs must be reliably housebroken or owner be willing to provide belly bands. ( What happens at home is often a whole new thing in a different environment). We don't use digestible chew sticks/bones due to concerns for choking/swallowing and potential for obstruction. My main goal is to provide a safe, happy visit so owners can truly enjoy their own "away vacay."

“As a professional dog trainer, I would highly recommend Annie for your pet care needs! She has taken care of our 2 dogs several times, and I always know that I can trust her to do a great job. She also has her own dog, a Belgian Malinois. As a big dog, he can sometimes be a handful, but she handles him quite well. I have been impressed with his level of training--she even taught him to put away his own toys! :) Annie is a responsible, calm, and centered person which are essential qualities when working with animals, and I know she will do well with your pets!”

“Yes,Remi D. is very good with dogs, cats. He's very well mannered and listens. He'll help watch your animals and care for them, in general a great person that loves animals.”

“I have known Amy most of my life (though we are not related!) and she is the most dog-loving person I know. She has extensive experience with animals. Your pet will be in the best hands with Amy. I recommend her highly and without reservation.”
