About: When it comes to pet care, I stand out from the rest in the area for numerous reasons. First and foremost, your beloved pet will be treated as a cherished member of our family during their stay with us. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have been caring for these furry companions since I was just 10 years old. From energetic Corgis to playful Pit Bulls, from gentle Golden Retrievers to lovable Saint Bernards, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. What truly sets me apart is my patience with all dogs, ensuring that your pet receives not only love and attention but also the grace they deserve. Rain or shine, daily walks are a staple in our routine, and I take great delight in strolling through the rain with a furry friend by my side. With my dedicated care, expertise in training, and unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing environment, I am the ideal choice for ensuring your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being. As a teacher, pet care seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routine. With the flexibility of our schedules, there is always someone present to attend to your furry family member even if one of us needs to step out briefly with the children. My commitment to your pet's well-being ensures that they are never left alone for extended periods of time. Whether it's engaging in playtime, administering meals, or providing comforting company, your furry friend will always have a loving presence by their side. We understand the importance of consistency and stability in a pet's life, and we strive to maintain a nurturing environment that seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routines. We just recently fenced-in our yard, the safety and well-being of your pet are of utmost importance to us. To ensure their security, the back door will remain locked during their stay, and all entrances and exits will be conducted through the front door, where a leash will be securely attached to your dog. Unless specified otherwise, your pet will become just part of our family, granting them the freedom to roam certain areas of the house. Our couches and chairs are open for their lounging pleasure, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. To maintain a harmonious feeding routine, your pet will be provided separate mealtimes, distinct from our own animals and children. Rest assured that while under our care, your beloved pet will receive individualized attention, an inviting environment, and the utmost consideration for their comfort and safety.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. I work part-time at a dog daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That experience helps me understand their needs, read their behavior, and keep them happy and safe. At home, I have my own furry family (1 dog, 1 cat), and I treat every pet like it is one of my own. When you trust me with your pets, they’ll get the same love, patience, and care I give to mine. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I work part-time at a dog daycare, so my days naturally revolve around feeding, walking, playing, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved. When I’m not there, I’m spending time with my own pets going for hikes, walks, giving belly rubs, and keeping a consistent, loving routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I schedule in; it’s something that’s built into everything I do. Whether in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their routines consistent and their environment calm and clean. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite toys, and I always keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I treat every pet like family, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

“My dogs love Doreen. She is wonderful with them. She is so patient, Macy can be a little challenging when meeting new people, and takes her a long time to warm up, but it only took a few minutes. That right there speaks volumes. I highly recommend Doreen and will use her again soon.”

About: I am a volunteer at a no kill cat shelter. I have some experience administering medicine. One of our bunnies became handicapped, so he lived in the house with us, and I cared for him with such love and extra attention. Our aging dog could no longer see the stairs well, so we carried him. I do what it takes to make mine and your pets feel so loved. I recently chose to resign from a 28-year position working at a college and have lots of time on my hands. I am happy to help you! My pets are spoiled, as they all should be. They have lots of toys, kitty trees, hammocks, safe plants, treats, dry and wet food twice daily, clean water dishes daily, clean litter boxes and scoops frequently and regular scheduled visits to the vets to. I own two cat carrying back packs and take them for walks and to a friend who lives in an assisted living environment and when I bring the kitties in, it puts a smile on all the residents there. I also care about the animals outside and feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and the occasional deer, opossum and raccoon. I pay attention to detail and always make sure that my pets and others are cared for with that extra touch of love!

I can play with them at home, help them in an out of a crate, and administer medication as needed

“Jennifer has been so great with my anxious dog Cambria. She accommodated my request for a few meetings with all of us together so Cambria would be more comfortable when Jennifer came to our house for care. Cambria had her first solo visit yesterday and Jennifer sent me pictures which was wonderful to receive and eased my mind. I would recommend Jennifer to everyone who is a little nervous about leaving their dog, she is so kind and compassionate and made my anxious dog feel at ease.”

“Sara has been incredible with our dogs. There are three of them, all big, two with substantial anxiety, and none of them is really leash trained. In other words, they're a handful. We have been floored by Sara's insight, skill, patience, and warmth. She has charmed our dogs and left us feeling confident that they are in capable, kind hands. Sara is the first non-family member we have trusted to care for our dogs, and we are so grateful to be working with her.”

About: I have had pets all shaped sizes in ages my whole life. My dog also just recently passed away from kidney disease, so I am knowledgeable on giving medicines of all forms. I love exercising and will love taking your pets on adventures. Or we would also love to just stay in home and cuddle all day if that is their wish. I do work full-time, but I work four days and I have three days off, which is mostly when I would book unless I am working a short shift. I currently have no pets in my home but I did just recently lose my dog and so I do have a lot of supplies. I have comfy beds, food bowls, a kennel, and toys. I also have a fenced in backyard and love to go on walks.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've taken care of them from when they were babies until old age. I've been training my family dogs since highschool. I just finished up a masters degree.

About: I have extensive experience pet sitting for dogs (all ages), cats, rabbits, chickens and other birds, small mammals, and farm animals, including animals with special medical needs. I also have experiencw with exotic pets. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I have been a volunteer for both an animal shelter and a local animal rescue league chapter, as well as at many events that benefit animals, and have had pets of my own since childhood. I currently live with a wonderful, sweet, sassy 7 year old female Corgi. I owned 2 wonderful Siberian Huskies who lived to be seniors, and in the course, required regular medications, special diet, physical therapy exercises, assisted walking, and wound cleaning, so I am very familiar with dealing with health issues, and am able to recognize when an animal is in any distress. As I believe emotional well-being is just as important as physical, I will always spend time with your pet, or exercise him/her with his/her favorite toy or game. If your pet is in training, I would be happy to reinforce what he/she is learning. Caring for animals is not just what I do, it's who I am! I look forward to hearing from you!

I will try to keep a routine, as pets thrive on that.

“I found Danielle to be adaptable, flexible, communicative, open, reliable, trustworthy, dependable. She did exactly what she said she was going to do and more. She was available last minute to come watch/walk my dogs twice a day every day for seven days. She did not miss one day. She was here at the same time every day by 3:30 p.m.and again by 8. p.m. she used the Rover app extensively, I knew through Rover when she left the house when she was on her walk and when she returns the house. She sent pictures of the dogs. And she even fed the cats for me because I needed to have the cats occupied while she left the house so they wouldn’t try to slip out. I have three indoor cats. She went over and above my expectations. I am so so thankful the couple that I had planned to watch my dogs canceled on me 36 hours before my flight out. I needed someone desperately and three people were available. I chose Danielle because of her self reported review, and when she came to the house, her demeanor, confidence, ability to deal with the barking dogs and excitability of one of my dogs showed me that she could handle just about anything. I will be traveling again soon. Danielle will be my go to. Even if I have to leave the house for an entire day, I will be using Rover to schedule with Danielle she’s the best. So so so thankful that the first couple ditched me because I would never ever have met such a capable person like Danielle. There wasn’t a moment that I worried about my animals. Nor my house. She is so flexible that she had no problem canceling the last day due to my flight being on time, and me returning to the home an hour before her scheduled dog walk. She’s wonderful. My only problem with Danielle is I’m afraid she’ll be so busy after people read my review that she won’t have time to squeeze me into her schedule. She’s a keeper for sure.”
