“Bob works great with our boy Monty; he helps him get all his energy out playing his favorite game of fetch. Bob is very flexible and quick to respond. We definitely recommend!”
“Emily did an amazing job of taking care of my dog Thor on his mid-day walks. Even in the bitter cold, she took him to do his business and played with him back at the apartment since he hated the cold. She followed my instructions perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

About: I have been walking dogs for friends since I was young. My dogs and any dogs coming into my house will have full access to every room and can go on the furniture. I have a fenced yard for them to run around in. I work mornings to afternoons but have time in between to ensure the dogs are let out and comfortable. I am able to pick up and drop off if needed. We live right by a great dog park and go there often so as long as the owners are okay I would take them to the park. I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many for families traveling or needing someone to stop by and walk their dogs if needed. I am a total dog mom, and try to make sure not only the dog is happy but the parents of the dog are too.
About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind.

I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!
