About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and many other small pets. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and happy to follow your pets routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day and week. I’m reliable with drop ins, walks, or longer stays and can stick with your pets routine. I make sure every pet stays safe, comfortable and happy while in their own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and supervise pets at all times. I treat your home with respect keeping it clean and organized, and create a calm environment for your pet.
“Rose is great! She accommodated a last minute booking for me for a walk with my dog while I was at a doctor's appointment - I got stuck in horrible traffic on my way to meet her due to an accident on the interstate blocking two lanes and she was very understanding and didn't mind waiting for me. I am super grateful to her for being available and flexible when things didn't go to plan. Floyd had a nice walk with her during my appointment and was very happy to meet a new friend. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and willingness to roll with the punches.”

I am available most days of the week, and can pop in to check on them and house sit if you’re headed out on an adventure! I have a cat currently and we have lots of different enrichment toys for him and a tower! Back at home I have a pupper where I walk him daily and he has a whole backyard to himself to play and lounge around and he can come in whenever he’d like!

About: Throughout my life, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and grew up with many different dog breeds. After purchasing my first home, I began volunteering with a rescue and have fostered dogs from all kinds of backgrounds. I have experience providing animals with a loving, safe environment and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable and secure. At this time, I’m only accepting small dogs or senior dogs due to my own pups being older and needing a calmer environment. I appreciate your understanding! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I can’t wait to meet your beloved furry friend! I work from home, so I will be able to give your pups loving attention throughout the day. I can give frequent potty breaks like you never left. When you are away, your pet is my first priority! If there is anything specific you need from me- don’t hesitate to ask! I have experience with all different breeds and backgrounds. I understand some pets take time to build trust and feel safe. I will ensure I give your pet the space/time they need to feel comfortable with me. In addition to that, I only take one client at a time to ensure your pet is my #1 priority.
