Naomi took great care of my kitty, Beauford, while I was gone for a vacation. I had no worries at all and she provided detailed updates and photos of him. I would definitely book with her again!

I feel like Chewy is in good hands with Liz and truly believe Liz likes Chewy. We will always use her when we need a Rover. Plus anytime you want to come over and say hi to him, you are more than welcome

I hired for drop in visits while I was away for 10 days. My babies (1dog and 4 cats) were happy to see me and interacted with me like I never left. I would have to say that Ruby did an excellent job in caring for them and easing their stress. Im very thankful for her good work because my fur babies are family.

We met with Grace to house sit for us. We had to cancel our trip but plan to use her in the future. She’s a very nice person and seems interested in taking the best possible care of our dogs. We had some scheduling issues online and she was very patient working that out.

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm also well know for rehabilitating strays to new homes I have a job from 2-10pm please keep this in mind when hiring me I will not be requesting time off under any circumstances. But I stay happy by taking care of animals I used to take in strays and rehabilitate them in my spare time but I now have a roommate and she won't let me do that. Anymore so I figured I could get another job involving animal care and my friend referred me to rover an so far I'm really excited for my first client. I am in doors only I have a dog yard at my apartment and a patio I take walks but mainly qe play inside but I have tons of time to play I have an open schedule! So I have tons of time to play and watch how the fur babies. I take them for walks we have a dog park at my apartment there's a dog park down the road I play wit them with toys I love going then treats and cuddling with them I have a patio. And a dog park available and I walk them and play with then they have full access to my home an di love to spoil my visitors I love taking care of your pets weekly routines are important which is why I try to ask questions before hand so I follow everything to a T. I have cats myself I know how routines are necessary to keep both you and your pet happy as I do it myself at home with my own fur babies. I follow the instructions left by the owner I'm well adverse in pet care whatever your schedule and routine with ur pet is I will follow I know just how important that is I do require an imperson tour before hand to discuss instructions and meet ur pet etc.

About: I had a dog growing up for several years where I not only took care of, but she was also my friend and companion! Growing up with a dog was a good responsibility and taught me how to care for something else. I’m currently in occupational therapy school and I have a month and a half break where I am looking to earn some extra cash! I would be available on weekdays or weekends. I will create a safe, and trusting environment for your pet while providing tailored care specifically to your own pet. I want to provide a comfortable environment and build rapport with your pet. Meeting up with your pet prior before providing pet care will ensure this safe environment.

About: I have had and cared for dogs my whole life. In my house we currently have two Golden Retrievers, and an Australian Shepherd. I have also cared for Golden Doodles and Labs in the past. I love taking all my dogs for walks and have experience walking multiple dogs at once. I am a personal trainer at Strength Studio in Brainerd. So my days have a lot of flexibility from 11-2 most days of the week. I normally walk my dog around 1PM and enjoy evening walks as well I grew up in a house with 4 other dogs, and now currently had a golden doodle, names Remy! Dogs have always been a big part of my life and always look to give them the love and attention they need.

About: I’ve always cared for family pets and currently own two cats, one of which is happily trained to wear the elaborate sweaters I make him and goes on daily walks on a leash. I am comfortable with any special needs that may arise such as giving meds or other basic vet care, and enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Let my flexible schedule fit into your routine! I am available days, evenings, and weekends. I know how disruptive time away cat be for your pet — I’m happy to do what I can to keep the normalcy flowing for them. I am happy to follow all guidelines you have about your pet’s care, from leashed outside visits only to regular ear scritches. I care for pets how I would want mine to be treated — safely, and with compassion.

Eric did a great job with our two labs. They are high energy dogs, but were properly worn out when I got home. Great communication, regular updates throughout the visit.

About: Growing up my neighbors always had dogs and we often took care of them while they were away, which is where my love for dogs began. In college my roommate bought a puppy and I helped her raise it for the first 2 years until we graduated. During this time, my responsibilities were being the first one to take her out to the bathroom in the morning, being that I was always the first one awake! Also because I enjoy going for runs, I was the one who brought Finn on daily walk/runs, while also helping train her to live inside our house. Also, in college, the family I nannied bought a puppy and I helped them through the first steps of training her. During this process I really learned the steps of how to care for dogs being that I was the one taking care of her from 7-5 each day. I am looking into adopting a puppy of my own now, but I wish to be more financially stable before I get one. So to satisfy my puppy fever, for now I hope to dog sit and dog walk until I can afford one of my own!
