About: I’ve had dogs all my life and can’t imagine life without the companionship and love they give. I currently have an elderly golden named Charlie, also know as my favorite child to my kids. I also have grand pups that love to come spend time with grandma and papa. I’m retired but not ready to stop working and would prefer to spend my time with fur babies! I hope I get a chance to meet yours! I am retired but my husband is not so I have a flexible schedule and am able to pick up last minute requests if necessary. I do not have a fenced yard and live on a lake so will have to be selective in taking clients in my home, however I am always available to go the clients home for care and walks.

About: I worked in a boarding center for dogs and cats while their owners were away. There, I had training in caring for many different breeds and sizes of dog, including giving them medications, scheduling play time and potty breaks, and walks. Friends and family all rely on me to watch their pets while they're away, and that's because I genuinely love and care for every animal I come across! I've owned animals my whole life, and right now have one cat named Roxas who I love with my whole heart. I'm self employed from home, so my schedule and availability are extremely open and flexible! Whenever you need, chances are I'll be available to watch after your fur baby! I live in a quiet, nice apartment complex. I don't have a fenced in yard, but would keep your dog leashed while out for potty breaks if boarding. I also have home security cameras installed. I value you and your pets safety and privacy!

Alisa was great! We needed help in a pinch when my dad had surgery in Ohio. She worked around our schedules to meet our pup last minute! She responded quickly and was so sweet with our Hound!

About: I've worked with animals off all kinds, ages, sizes, and requirements since I was 10. Everyone i know comes to me for pet help/care. I take a special intrest in training. I currently have a border collie mix who i practice sports such as agility and bikjoring. She also love trick training and obedience training. I was in a vet course in high school for two years so I've got plenty of experience with all sizes and species of animals. There i learn how to give oral medication, signs of parasites/disease, dog body language and the importance of mental & physical stimulation that sent me on my way to being a dog nerd. My job has me working weekends during the slow season and being an active person I need something to fill my off time. So I have Monday- Thursday to work with your schedule. I have worked with reactive animals as well as own one so im exceptional at dog body language and i focus on making a dogs walk/Visit as stress-free as possible. My experience with reactive dogs helps me stay patient and calm in stressful situations.

Madeline was prompt and communicated how our dog was feeling since she had an off day the day before. She sent photos and a video and with it being her first walk with our dog, our dog was very comfortable with her. Looking forward to having her walk our pup again.

About: I've always loved animals of every kind. Growing up we've owned everything from rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, ferrets, and even a fox. For years, Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, because they know I'll take care of them as if they were my own. I'm currently available for late afternoons on Friday's and available on weekends. Message me if you have any questions. My children love meeting new puppies and being able to help take care of them. We have a fully fenced in half acre of backyard for the doggies to play in. I have three friendly dogs that are open to anything. Cooper is our bluetick coonhound, Piper is our Husky mix, and Audrey Shepburn is our white German shepherd. We also have three children ages 4, 9, and 13.

About: My Husband and I have had pets in our family since we both could walk. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats ourselves that are treated better than many humans. We understand the struggle of finding the right fit for your babies when you need to travel and are happy to provide as many updates and pictures as needed to make sure you are comfortable with their care. For Puppies, we both have gone through the puppy phase a few times and understand their needs and chaotic tendencies. All of our animals are up to date on their shots. As a bonus, we both work from home, so your pets will get constant love and attention. We will also be happy to help with any other special care needs such as medications, special diets, brushing, teeth brushing, etc. Our animals are very used to new friends and play nice and we have a big backyard for your baby's enjoyment. If your pet stays with us, they will be loved like family! We both work from home, so, we are able to give potty breaks and enrichment breaks frequently throughout the day. Someone will always be home when we are boarding. We live in a house and have a large fenced in yard. All of our animals have their current vaccinations. We have a large Kennel for our Shepard for when we have to leave the house.

About: Hello! Please note (I do not take payments through the rover app anymore due to past payment issues. I accept Venmo or in person payments). I have been caring for all types of animals and saving them if in need, my whole life! I love and care about all animals personalities and only want to make them happy:) I am very understanding to all animals (even sassy ones haha), I will take time for their needs. I have cared for senior animals, puppies and kittens, as well as given animals medication. I would love to watch your pets and would make sure they are safe at all times! And of course update you with pictures on text while you’re away! (Prices- $13 per hr for pet sitting, if other service fee questions feel free to message me, thank you!) As of now I can pet sit on most weekends, as well as most mornings and afternoon/early evenings on weekdays! I will care for pets by taking them on walks if they are able to, play with them, give them treats, nap time, plenty of potty breaks, or anything the owner asks or requests. I am in between jobs right now and have extra time this month to watch pets! Send me a message and we can find a time that works best! When I’m a client’s home I can play with your pet, brush them, feed them, or just give them some company. And I will never leave a mess behind, if the pet has a potty accident I am sure to clean it and clean any spilled food or litter!

About: I have had pets my entire life, & I love playing with them & taking care of them. I have many years of experience with pet related responsibilities including (but not limited to) bathing, walking, feeding, medication administering, cleaning up after, & of course, playing! I have one cat & one dog of my own, both of which love other animals & would love to have other animals in the household. My hours are pretty flexible, & I am a very laid back person when it comes to last minute cancellations or services being needed on short notice. I understand that life happens & sometimes there’s nothing we can do to stop it. I would love to care for your animals & help you feel like your babies are being left in good hands. I have one dog who get medication three times a day, and he also gets multiple walks a day. He loves other dogs and cats, so if you’re wanting some company for your pet I would love to bring him along! I am a strong believer in respecting animals’ boundaries. My dog is very shy & he takes a long time to warm up, so I have a lot of experience with reactive/fearful dogs.

About: I grew up taking care of my neighbors’ pets which was more like a zoo. They had dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and even a ferret. I have been an animal lover all of my life and have continued to pet sit for friends and family over the years. Additionally, I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have a lot of experience cleaning and providing care for multiple animals at one time. I also have owned cats my whole life and have a lot of experience taking care of dogs as well! I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of free time and am super flexible! During this time, I am able to care for your pet as much as possible :) I am very big on giving animals lots of love and affection! I know oftentimes pets can get anxiety when their owners are away, so I follow a routine the animals can depend on so they know they are getting their needs met by me everyday. I get a sense of what their normal routines are and try not to stray from these as much as possible so there is still consistency in the animals’ lives.
