About: I am a professional handler and groomer. I have 5 years experience working at and managing a doggie daycare/boarding/training/grooming resort. I teach obedience classes and hold a puppy kindergarten class. I have owned multiple dogs and cats my whole life. I also have experience with lizards, bunnies, and other small critters My schedule is pretty open. Check my calendar for availability. I own a pet care busines, so this is what I do 7 days a week. I would consider myself to be a very responsible and trustworthy person. The safety and wellness of your pets are my #1 priority. I always make sure that all doors are closed and locked when coming and going and that all items that could potentially be of danger are away from reach. I own and operate a pet care business full time and offer a wide variety of services out of my home or I can travel to you. We are a very active family and enjoy getting outside. My 2 boys love to involved and are very gentle and playful. I take the dogs outside for frequent potty breaks and go for 2 long walks. One in the morning and one in the evening. I do enjoy taking the dogs to the state park if the weather is nice. I also have access to a doggy daycare after hours and take the dogs there so they can run and play for a few hours.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry companions, and understand their needs and energy completely. With boundless enthusiasm and endless patience, I’m here to provide a loving, engaging experience for your pets! I am available for early morning shifts, evenings, and weekends, and I can generally accommodate your schedule with at least 24 hours' notice if needed. I maintain a safe and minimalist environment that provides ample space for your cats or dogs to play. Additionally, I can rearrange the areas in various configurations to meet your pets' needs.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

“Diana is fantastic! She jumped right in to help me with my new puppy for about two weeks now and we’ve a few more on the books. She gone above and beyond to help my take care of and start training my puppy! She’s timely and very communicative. SO thankful for her!!”

About: i have been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. i previously owned an australian shepherd, so i’m very familiar with high energy dogs, keeping up with routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention and stimulation. i’ve also owned rabbits before, which gave me experience caring for smaller animals and being attentive to different needs and temperaments. while i haven’t personally owned a cat yet, i’ve spent a lot of time around my sister’s cats and helping care for them as well. animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and i’ve always been someone friends and family trust around their pets. i’m very patient, reliable, gentle, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel comfortable and cared for. i currently have a very flexible schedule, so i’m available for daytime drop ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week. i’m able to plan my schedule around bookings and always do my best to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to both pets and owners’ needs when caring for pets in a client’s home, i always make safety a priority for both the pet and the home itself. i pay close attention to routines, instructions, doors, gates, leashes, feeding directions, and making sure pets stay in safe environments at all times. if a yard is fenced, i still keep a close eye on pets while they’re outside and make sure everything is secure before letting them out. i’m very calm and confident around animals, and i think that helps them warm up to me quickly and feel comfortable. i’m patient, attentive, and always try to build trust with pets while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and stress-free while their owner is away.

“I was skeptical about using Rover as a means to having someone come into our home and watch after our 2 dogs. I had set up a meet and greet through Emily to met her co-sitter Rob (as Emily was not directly available at the time). Rob came right on time was kind and courteous! He has a natural ability with dogs and made notes of how our dog’s routine goes. While we were gone, Rob and Emily both sent plenty of updates and pics of the dogs! The communication was excellent the whole way through and we look forward to Emily and/or Rob watching after these 2 again soon! It’s not everyday that you get to trust someone off of the internet but, I will definitely trust Emily and Rob!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and giving pets lots of attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re gone. I work in a nursing home salon doing hair on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m self-employed and work from home the rest of the week, which gives me a flexible schedule. At this time I’m not offering pet care in my home because I have a German Shepherd who isn’t comfortable with other animals.

About: I've grown up caring for pets, so I understand how much love, patience, and consistency animals need. For the past two years, I've pet sat in clients' homes, staying overnight when needed so pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I have experience with dogs and cats. I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, basic care, and lots of attention and affection. I always make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and thoughtful care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore—I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates so they feel comfortable while away. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed in a familiar environment.

“Madison did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She is kind, respectful, responsive and responsible! She sent pictures and updates and even brought in our packages. My cats were well taken care of and the litter box was obviously thoroughly cleaned each time.”

“Amanda did a great job taking care of our kitties and keeping us updated on them!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

“Jennifer was great! I hadn't followed up with her regarding access to Legend but yet she remained diligent regarding gaining access to him. I also appreciated her willingness to work with Legend. Being that he is a pit bull that can be intimidating to most but she took on the challenge. Thank you again Jennifer! I hope to book you in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat. I would take care of your animal as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

“Sabrina did a great job dropping in on our girls. She fed them breakfast, gave them pets and let them out for potties. Our girls were happy and well cared for.”

“Cole is an incredible and responsible dog sitter that I can trust my pets with. My dogs are very nervous and need some time to adjust to people, especially men, but Cole has went the extra mile to make sure my dogs feel happy and are properly cared for when I can’t be there. He is always quick to respond, easy to work with, and gentle with all my animals. You can tell he truly loves animals and and he has been nothing but kind and professional. If you feel nervous about getting a pet sitter, I would definitely consider contacting Cole for your needs. Thank you Cole for being so good to my Rudy, Po and Beano!”
