About: I’ve always had a love for animals. My family always tells me I’d be a good dog/cat sitter because of how much I love playing and spending time with animals I’m currently attending school to become an Xray Tech. While school takes up most of my time, I don’t have time for a full time job so I’m looking to offer my help to those who need help with their fur babies whenever I can I love and care for others animals the same way I’d care for my own. My main goal is ensuring the safety of my pet

About: I have had dogs for pets for over 30 years. I have been immersed in the everyday rhythm of dogs — raising my own with steady patience and learning the subtle cues that only decades of experience can teach. Along the way, he became the person friends and neighbors relied on whenever their dogs needed real attention, not just a quick walk. From energetic pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I bring seasoned instincts, calm leadership, and a reputation built on showing up, knowing what each dog needs, and treating every one of them like family. I work full time with rotating hours and days off. Even though I work full time I am very flexible.and can help with last minute notice. Even though I will not be taking care of dogs in my home, I can be trusted in your home to crate the dogs, let them out, or take them for a walk.

About: For over 15 years, I’ve been the trusted companion for pets of all shapes and sizes—offering belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of love while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, petting and brushing sessions, or keeping up with special care routines, I treat every furry friend like family. With decades of experience and a true passion for animals, you can leave your pet in my care with complete peace of mind. Because to me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong love. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your extended family members. I’m available for day time walks, as needed, and full boardings during the week, after 3pm, and most weekends. I am flexible with the boarding times as well so if you need me earlier, I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fully fenced in yard about 1/4 of an acre for your family member to stretch their legs and run around. I have one friendly mini schnauzer, Molly, that I am the proud owner of. I can easily crate your dog if needed or if your furry pal needs some time alone I have plenty of space within my home that they are allowed to freely roam. Sometimes this is needed from first meetings because, not unlike people, dogs may take time to get acclimated to one another. I do require a first meet before agreeing to take on new clients for the safety of myself, Molly and my home.

About: I have owned dogs since being a young age. However now that we have two active teenagers who travel for sports I am unable to own a dog as it wouldn’t be fair on weekends to leave the dog while we travel during the season. I work from home for a medical company so always available to walk dogs and be thee for them. We have a 0.25 acre fenced in back yard. Our home is cozy yet “lived in” no standing in ceremony at our house. We are sad we can’t own our own dog but would love to give your dog the love we would give to any animal in our home. We have looked after friends dogs many times while they travel for business and pleasure and we always end up falling in love with them and it’s a sad day when we have to say goodbye.

About: I have experience caring for pets through both professional work and personal ownership. I currently provide dog walking and pet care through Wag!, where I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs and more active breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to build trust with repeat clients by providing dependable, compassionate care. As a proud cat mom to two cats, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and recognizing each pet’s unique personality. In addition, I’ve volunteered with a cat rescue, where I cared for cats with a wide range of temperaments, cleaned enclosures, socialized cats, and administered oral and topical medications when needed. I also spent a year working at a family-owned pet store that specialized in dogs, cats, and exotic animals, giving me hands-on experience with daily animal care and pet wellness. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Since I also drive, I’m able to reliably travel to visits, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets feel happiest in their own home, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions before each visit. I always ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Upon your return, I can get you at the airport with a goodie bag for your morning coffee with muffins, milk, fruit and bottled water, so you are all set for your first morning back from vacation. -I have photo books of every dog that has boarded with me, so I can show you pictures of the dogs that will be staying at the same time as your dog booking. You will see how they interact with other dogs in a variety of pictures. 75%of my business is repeat bookings and I am proud of that! -Read how often my customers have commented on how impeccably clean my home and yard is kept. It obviously matters to people. I put in the time to make sure it stays that way during your dog's stay! - I also make your life easier by having a stock of non-toxic dog shampoo and an all natural food supplement (great for bone and joint health) that you can purchase when you return at great prices! - My wife, Denise coordinates the schedule and provides both the welcome package and the Thank You notes at the back end of your dog's stay. You have 24 hour access to our home and each of our mobile phones. - Denise and I have been in Customer Service Businesses for 35 years and we have very high standards of excellence. - Our yard is huge and private, part of a pine forest, but I enjoy taking dogs for walks around our quiet neighborhood as well, to provide the most stimulating stay for your beloved dog. - I have my yard treated to minimize the chance of ticks, fleas and mosquitos with a safe solution , applied by a trained professional with decades of experience. -When it snows, I never need to use salt to melt it, because I am here all the time to snow blow and shovel as often as necessary. Your dog will not be exposed to salt on his or her paws. -I also save my clients lots of money on 4 and 5 Star Vacation Villas. Brands like Marriott, Hyatt and Four Seasons to name just a few.

These savings are commonly 25% or more off for the same great service ! -I am available to help others start a Rover business of their own. I have run several businesses, have 39 years experience, not only selling, but am certified to teach sales from prestigious Training Companies such as Miller Heiman, Cahners TRACOM, and Achieve Global. I have been selling out regularly and know exactly how to help someone else kiss corporate America goodbye in a field that they were born to thrive in from home! Now you have a good sense of why you may want to choose Dan's ! I have rescued and owned a variety of dog breeds that range from English Bulldogs, Beagles, Terriers and mixed breeds. I have house broken several puppies and have also lovingly cared for older dogs needing daily medication. (an additional nightly charge may apply based on the level of care your dog needs) My home is comfortable year round, as we have central air conditioning. We continually owned 2 dogs up until 2016, when our beloved dog Brodie passed away after a wonderful 14 year life. My wife, Denise and I have been married for 41 years and do not have any plans to rescue another dog for the foreseeable future, but we greatly look forward to caring for other people's cherished pets in our loving home. We offer stability. We are in this home for over 40 years and have no plans to ever move, so we can watch your dog(s) for many years, right here at our version of dog paradise. We have no children, but have our 13 year old nephew and 14, 11 and 8 year old nieces, who love dogs, sleep over 1 to 2 nights per month. We both get a big kick out of the unique personality of each dog and look forward to accommodating every one of them as they were part of our family. We like having your dog near us and showing our affection to them with lots of supervised playtime and hugs"

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
