Julie great rolling with the punches. We were out of the house and left Summer with no collar and instead of just leaving, Julie played with her in the backyard to give her exercise. We really appreciate Julie!

About: Hi friends! I am an energetic person who LOVES the outdoors and basically any kind of animal. I am blessed enough to be able to work for my husband for his concrete business so I am home (mostly) all day every day! I have 3 dogs myself; a Border Collie, GSP, and a mixed breed (half Great Pyrenees, half Australian Shepherd). They are my babies. I live on 19 acres that is all fenced but 18 of those acres are occupied for our 13 goats and 3 llamas! No worries though, we have a huge fenced in area directly beside/where our house sits just for dogs! We also have a doggie door from inside, leading to the outdoor area, so your dog will definitely get the exercise and outdoor time they deserve, as well as coming and going as they please! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Monday-Thursday with some weekends! We travel a lot over the weekends in the summer so weekends are limited but I will keep my weekend schedule updated We have a doggie door leading to the fenced in area for our dogs so they are able to come and go as they please. If you aren’t comfortable with the doggie door, I will make sure your pet does not use it and I will take them out for breaks frequently!

About: Growing up, my mom worked at a vet's office and I was there every day after school, so I have been exposed to pets my entire life. Because of this, I am very knowledgable about caring for dogs of all breeds as well as training them, and am really good with all animals. I currently own a very loving golden doodle who weighs right under 50 pounds. He loves other dogs and we go to the dog park across from my neighborhood every day, so he will be great with your dog! If you dog does not like other animals, I can put mine up as well, just let me know! I am a lover of all dogs and cannot wait to meet your fur babies! I currently work remotely so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet during the week or on the weekends. Just let me know what you need! I have a large fenced in yard at my house as well as a dog park across the street. I love to go for long walks with dogs as well.

About: Just like caring for my daughter, I care for my dog just as well. And if I’m caring for your pet, chanced are they are being absolutely spoiled and will be worn out by the time they are returned to you. I am great at training and could have yours doing new tricks by the time they are returned. I can even groom/ nail trim on occasion if needed, just ask. I understand our pets are our family and like me, you’ll probably worry about them staying with a complete stranger. You’ll worry about them from the second you leave them with me until you get them back. But I promise I’ll care for them as they are my own. I’ll send photos frequently as I I know this eases worry. I do require you provide a crate in the chance wi leave the house. Your welcome to check in on them anytime without worrying that your bothering me. I work part time at a school so I am available to allow pets to relieve themselves and even get some energy through the day. I would care for a pet the way the owner cares for them. I wouldn’t want to change the pts daily routine so keeping them on schedule and following the woners pet rules is how I work.

Brandy is awesome and so reliable! We’ve used her a bunch of times to come by and walk our Australian cattle dog. Our dog is very high energy, is not good with other dogs and is a big leash puller and none of those things have been an issue for Brandy. She always makes sure to give him exercise as well! I can trust that my dog will have a great time with Brandy while I’m gone and get all of his needs met!

About: I love all animals and I am happy to provide care matching whatever their needs are! I can take them on long walks, play fetch, or lounge around the house and snuggle. I wake up early and take a daily walk so feeding/playing/exercising will fit right into my schedule. My work schedule is flexible so plenty of extra time to spend with the animals daily, give them plenty of attention and love! I offer care to match you and your animals needs. Whatever the situation, I will do what needs to be done to make you and your pets happy and comfortable!

About: Hello! My name is Rachel. I am an experienced animal whisperer, animal lover and pet caregiver. Entrusted for over 15 years with all breeds, sizes, multiples. For one time, daily visits, extended over nights stays, with responsibilities of: lengthy walks, picking up after/litter box, timely feeding and water. Loving attention, socializing, exercising, play and upon request: light grooming, administering medicine, canine acupressure massage, harmony for family/pet dynamics, and behavioral assistance. I will always communicate with you to ensure all of your pet and home need's are honored. I am glad to provide positive reassurance with photo updates while your animals are in my care. I am reliable, responsible, attentive, and loving; happy to be there for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and wonderful references. I am happy to listen to your needs and answer any questions. I look forward to caring for your animals! I have a flexible schedule and share most of my free time in nature. I am happy to bring dogs for long walks. I also meditate and cherish down-time, so animals like my company at home. Snuggles, baths, swimming, long walks, playing in a fenced in yard, laying in the grass with them, reading a book and sitting together, singing or talking with them, cuddles at bedtime. I have flexible remote part time work, which gives plenty of time to be with your pets. I have space in the evenings, mid day, and mornings for feeding, walking and play. I am open for longer term overnight stays with animals in their home- minimum 5 nights. The home needs to be free of heavy fragrances and mold. When able, I prefer boarding animals in my home. When I board, there are no other animals in the house.

About: I have owned several senior pets, pets with medical needs, and have 4 years of experience fostering multiple types of dogs until they were adopted. I took a break from Rover in 2021 when i started fostering dogs. I fostered 11 dogs between 2021 and 2024. I have several years of pet sitting experience. I have a 8 year old Tuxedo cat and a 7 year old orange tabby cat. I work full time at home with mostly flexible hours, so unless I have meetings, I am able to do most times during the week. Sunday mornings is my in office day, so from 8:30am-12 on Sundays I am unavailable Whenever I am outdoors with a dog, I will have an eye on them even if there is a fence or on a leash. I am accustomed to escape artist pets, so I am good at getting in and out of homes without letting an animal out.
