About: I am new to the pet world, but I have always wanted a dog. Through this experience, I hope to learn which type of dog would be the best fit for me. I appreciate your willingness to let me spend time with your pet. *Summer/Outside School Hours: I may have my 9-year-old son with me, but I will ask before bringing him.* Special Skills: I have a lot of energy and can easily run 2-4+ miles, if you have a dog that can keep up with me! However, I can adjust to the speed and energy of your dog. I work from home and have flexible hours, so I would love an “excuse” (regular breaks) to take care of your pet (I also enjoy being outside)! También hablo Español. I am happy to come to your home to feed or walk/jog your pet. Please let me know your preferences for your pet’s personal care.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of formal veterinary education, hands-on medical experience, and specialized behavioral handling. Having completed coursework in veterinary science and veterinary assisting, I bring a professional understanding of animal health, safety protocols, and early illness detection that standard pet sitters often lack. I am fully confident administering oral or topical medications, ensuring pets with strict medical needs or chronic conditions never miss a dose. Furthermore, my background with behavioral issues means I can accurately read animal body language, manage stress triggers, and provide a calm, safe environment for anxious rescues, high-energy puppies, or senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care serve as the core structure of your daily routine by setting fixed times for feeding, exercise, and play. Daily Anchors: Schedule morning and evening feedings, regular walks, and playtime at consistent times each day to give structure to your morning and afternoon. Midday Engagement: Dedicate open daytime blocks to longer walks, trick training, or grooming, which helps keep both you and your pet active. Weekly Tasks: Set aside specific days for deeper maintenance, like cleaning food bowls, washing bedding, and stocking up on supplies. Care for pets—whether in your home or a client's—centers on establishing strict safety routines, maintaining clear communication, and respecting behavioral boundaries. Safe and trustworthy environment for both settings: In Your Home (Boarding or Daycare) Since you can only host pets that get along with others, pre-screening and temperament testing are critical: Conduct a "Meet & Greet": Always meet new client pets on neutral ground (like a local park or quiet sidewalk) before accepting a booking to observe how they react to other animals and strangers. Controlled Introductions: Introduce pets slowly on-leash, watching for tense body language (stiff posture, hard stares, raised hackles) before allowing free interaction. Separation Capability: Maintain dedicated, secure spaces (such as crates, playpens, or separate rooms) so pets can eat, sleep, or rest without stress or competition. Always separate animals during feeding time. Home-Proofing: Ensure backyards are fully fenced with locked gates, hide all cords/cleaning supplies, and keep trash cans secured. In the Client’s Home (House Sitting or Pet Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, consistency and home security are key: Follow Their Routine: Adhere strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and bedtime rules to keep the pet calm and secure. Maintain Home Security: Keep doors and windows locked, ensure gate latches are secured, and properly manage keys or security codes. Leash & Door Safety: Never let pets off-leash in un-fenced areas, and always double-check door latches or gate locks before letting a pet loose in a yard. Emergency Readiness: Have the vet’s contact info, emergency clinic locations, and pet insurance or payment preferences clearly laid out before the owner leaves. Communication & Trust Daily Updates: Send regular photos, videos, and brief notes about feeding, potty habits, and mood to give owners complete peace of mind. Honesty First: If a pet shows anxiety, behavioral issues, or signs of illness, notify the owner promptly to discuss next steps together.
About: I absolutely love animals! I have experience with having up to 30 dogs in one yard and understand their body language to avoid fights and tiffs. I would love to help care for your fur babies to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have open availability mornings on weekdays! Evenings sometime are a little more tricky for me.

About: I have many friends that have dogs and cats and I always know I love helping them with their dogs and cats. I started helping other dog hiker to sit and walk the dogs back in 2018, and then I stopped Rover after my pregnancy for taking care of my newborn, during which I still occasionally helped friends sitting their pets. Now my daughter is 5 years old and I remember all the good memories back the day when I sit dogs and cats on Rover. I love to hike on different trails with dogs and enjoy the nature. Dog/cat caring is a perfect job for me to earn some extra while I work from home most of times. I own a house myself with fenced backyard in Daybreak community, which provides a nice environment for dog to play and go for walks. I usually take dogs out for walk at twice a day, and I let them to the yard and every other two hours, sometimes more often. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog/ cat will be the only one at home with me and sometimes my five years old daughter. I’m working remotely from home most of times, so I’ll have plenty time at home with your dog/ cat. My daughter live with me every other week, so she is not going to be in the house all the time. I'll make the best schedule for both of us, and fun plans for your dogs.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, growing up with a variety of animals and learning the basics of pet care. However, at 18, my approach became much more serious when I adopted an 8 week old Great Pyrenees named Kodiak who had significant health, behavioral, and medical issues. This experience taught me a great deal about managing complex health challenges, addressing behavioral problems, and providing specialized care, which deepened my commitment to responsible pet ownership and caregiving. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and with Kodiak's ailments, I realized how difficult it can be to find high-quality pet sitters especially for pets requiring more assistance, patience, and time. I would love to provide reliable and trustworthy care to every and all pets, and if you have a dog who is a little more picky and high-maintenanced with who they allow in your home, then I would love to be the one to start building that trust with you and your pup. Thank you again for considering and trusting me to be part of your pups and your lives! Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. :) I am a part-time nanny so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule . I usually take my own dogs 1-2x daily for long walks and I would be happy to bring your pups along! For boarding - I have a fenced yard with neighbors who also have dogs so barking is not an issue or concern. We live close to several fenced off-leash dog parks and public parks to allow additional room for your pup to roam! I also have made walks a priority first thing in the mornings and evenings with our current 2 dogs. For walking/check-ups- I promise to follow direct instructions and orders you provide. I promise to reach out to you directly if I have any concerns or questions on specific care, restrictions, permissions, etc. rather than assuming. I will make informed, safe decisions on your pets care if I cannot get in touch with you.

I work a a four day 10hour schedule so I'm home 3 days a week. Always free on weekends and if needed on the days that I work I can stop by anytime after 7pm. Just send me a message and I will do my best to check in on your pups through out the week if that is something you are looking for. I have a fenced backyard with lots of space, if your puppy is kennel trained he/she will have easy access to one. We also have a doggy door if that helps them. I have an endless amount of toys and treats if that is something that will make your fur baby feel more at home.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and been a dog sitter for friends and family for years so I’m used to feeding, walking, giving baths, any special instructions etc. Pet care fits into my schedules quite nicely.

About: I have been with and around every dog type since I could remember. I am not fearful around big dogs, my dog is a big lovable goof. I have been through an extensive training course with my dog so I can help keep training with yours. My schedule is currently pretty open so as long as I have a few days of notice I can help with your needs. Whether it’s just a walk or need an over night stay. In my hime I have a fence and a kennel that help keep my dog safe. In others homes I will accommodate whatever their situation. So if they have a kennel and want to keep their skills I will use it. If they don’t have a fence the dog with be on a leash. The dogs safety is the most important.

About: When you’re away, you should be able to take a load off—not spend your time wondering whether your pets are comfortable, lonely, or getting the attention they’re used to. The moment you leave them with me, I go into dog-mom mode on your behalf. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, Bruce and Fiona. They’ve taught me patience, consistency, and how important the little details are. I’m comfortable managing multiple-pet households, medication and feeding schedules, different energy levels, late-night potty breaks, and the individual routines that help each pet feel safe. Does your dog like to be tucked into bed at night? Perfect—I can do that. Do they sleep better with someone nearby? I’ll be right there. Are they shy, high-energy, particular about their routine, or happiest with plenty of affection? I’ll take the time to learn what makes them comfortable. You’ll typically receive morning and evening updates with plenty of photos and videos, so you can relax and see how your pets are doing while you’re away. I’m also happy to adjust based on how often you’d like to hear from me. To me, VIP pet care isn’t about treating every animal exactly the same. It means paying attention, following your instructions closely, keeping you updated, and caring for your pets the way I care for my own. While they’re with me, they become part of my pack—and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m currently an uber driver and I have plenty of spare time to step in and care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a husband who helps with my dogs at home while I’m away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Before a stay, I like to learn as much as I can about their normal routine, personality, triggers, medical needs, and any little quirks I should know about. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, and never put your dog in an unfamiliar or unnecessary situation without your permission. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep their space clean and comfortable while you’re away. If anything seems off, I’ll communicate with you right away—because I’d rather ask a question than make an assumption when it comes to your dog.

“We used Chloe to walk our dog while we were visiting Yellowstone. She did a great job communicating with us and our dog had a great time on his walks. We will definitely use her walking service again on future trips.”

About: Back home when I lived in Florida, I used to work at a veterinary practice that my dad owns (Sunset Point Animal Hospital).
