About: I am extremely active and love to run, and love animals of course! I've trained two dogs of my own to run miles at a times with me. I love a good walk tho too, and will gladly walk with your dog :) As far as human babies, I have one under 1, and another under 3 currectly. I am able to keep kids and pets separate if needed. As far as pets, I have one dog, Dixie, a super duper friendly and energetic pittie mix, about 5-6 years old. She gets along with all other dogs, cats (including our 6 year old cat, Murray), adults and kids. We have a nice sized fenced in yard for playing in. I work remotely and my husband also has a flexible job. Between the two of us, we'll ensure your pets needs are covered! As far as experience, I grew up around dogs, and I adopted my own shelter dog, a 50lb pitbull mix at 6 months old in 2018. I trained her and another dog on my own. We will treat your pet like our own, with love and affection. You can rest at ease while you are away that your pet will be comfortable and well taken care of! We've had dogs as young as 4 months, and elderly dogs with special needs. Whatever level attention your pet needs we will do our best to take as good of care of them as their owners do! I work remotely as a real estate agent and my husband is an entrepreneur, so we're both around! It will be me 95% of the time caring for your pet, but my husband may help out when needed. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, medium sized dog and a cat to keep your fur baby company. You're pet can be crated or kept separate if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by pet parents. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Showed up on time, very friendly, very professional, sent pictures from the walk of our dear little girl, and all went well. Looking forward to using her again. 👍”

About: I've worked in animal welfare for almost eight years. I was a shelter manager and later assistant director for two local shelters. When I worked at shelters, I was one of many primary care takers for between 80-150 cats and 8-15 dogs. I'd monitor wellness, provide enrichment, and provide all necessary medication for animals. I am vaccine certified and comfortable with dogs of any breed/size, cats, many small mammals and most birds. I work full time Monday through Friday. I have semi-flexible 8:00-5:00 work hours and an hour lunch. I work partially from home and can work from your home if needed. I am deeply familiar with any and all signs of illness in animals after having worked in animal shelters for so long. I can also read dog body language, I am fear-free certified and able to work with reactive pups. I will send frequent photos and updates, I know pets are family! I recognize I am a guest in your home and will follow any and all rules provided.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 9. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs from gentle greyhounds to energetic border collies! I also have experience petsitting multiple dogs and cats at once. I am a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time and attention to devote to your animals! I am available at any time of the day. I have a fenced in backyard and currently no animals in my house. I live walking distance from a lot of great dog walking spots! I am also available to care for pets in their own home.

“Goes above and beyond with updates and great communication when I book walks! Thank you so much.”

About: Going out of town? Want to leave your pet in the comfort of their home rather than boarding them somewhere that stresses them out? Want to leave them with someone who will give them tons of TLC? Then I'm your gal! I have been petsitting for over 20 years, and I've had my own business for 15 years (Happy Tails). I have a lot of energy myself, but am also content to sit around and cuddle, so any energy dog is fine with me! I've taken care of dogs with health needs, administered many medications including insulin shots, liquids and pills, and worked with deaf and blind animals. I have owned and fostered/rescued many animals and many breeds in my lifetime. Please contact me if you're interested, and feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews (Happy Tails QC). Thank you! As this is my full-time job, I have a lot of time daily to care for your furbabies, & I'm available 365 days a year! I care for pets in the owners home. I come by three times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. I can also do walks!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.

About: I worked in a kennel for a little over a year in which I practiced cleanliness, exercise, care, and assisted in giving medications. I have three dogs and two cats at home that I love unconditionally, and have taught me to have a lot of patience. I’m more of a dog person, but I love animals! I think it’s important to ensure yours and your animal’s comfort so I’d love to do meet and greets! Over the summer, I will be off for most of June and able to provide care during the week as well. Then I will be every other week during July, and back to being open on weekends during the school year. I take the time and care to get acquainted with the animals and recognize that they may need time to know I’m a safe person, so I’d love to do meet and greets whenever possible! I’d love to build consistent clients to continue to build a trusting relationship as well. Any mess I find will be cleaned up to the best of my ability, because as we know with animals, accidents happen!

About: Why Choose Me? I’ve shared my life with beloved pets. From an early age, I’ve cared for a variety of animals—dogs, cats, birds, fish, and hamsters—and I believe every pet deserves to be treated with the same love and respect. Over the years, I’ve also stepped in to help animals in need, including rescuing strays and ensuring they found safety at shelters. Caring for friends’ and family members’ pets and volunteering at an animal shelter have further shaped my understanding of providing thoughtful, compassionate care to pets of all kinds. Availability & Scheduling I offer part-time pet care services, and my availability is kept up-to-date on my profile for your convenience. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, so I’m happy to work with you one-on-one to accommodate special situations. Once we’ve established a routine, I’m open to setting up recurring services to make things even easier for you. Safety & Trust: Rover takes great care to approve only the best sitters on their platform. I’ve completed a background check, as indicated by the badge on my profile (a check mark in a shield), so you can feel confident in your choice. Reliable Care: Whether it’s feeding, exercising, or administering medication, I’m here to ensure your pet’s needs are met. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect and provide photo updates, so you always know how your pets are doing.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had dogs since I was little. I am well versed in knowing what your dog needs and how to go above and beyond your expectation! I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds! From golden retrievers to American bullies! I live a very active lifestyle so your dogs will have the time of their lives when they’re with me! I also have experience caring for cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits! You can go about your day stress free, knowing that your pet is getting the best care possible! I am clinic RN and am available all day on most weekends or weekdays after 5:30 if needed! Feel free to reach out if the care you need exceeds the availability on my schedule, I do my best to remain flexible and accommodate! I strive to make every animal I am around as comfortable as possible. They will feel the most love and care when they are with me. Your fur babies safety is my greatest concern, and I will make sure that they feel their safest! I will be extremely attentive to make sure that as we are on our walk or just playing outside that there is no danger nearby and that your pet feels at ease!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for various pets, including my own two dogs—a Boxer and a Pit Bull. I played a key role in training them, ensuring they were well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I've taken care of pets for my parents' friends and looked after a friend's dog during her late-night clinicals in college. My diverse experience and dedication to each pet's well-being set me apart, ensuring your furry friend receives top-notch care and attention. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I can easily fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I'm available to work whenever needed or requested, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve. I genuinely love working with dogs and have a natural ability to connect with them. My calm and patient demeanor helps me handle pets effectively, even when they don’t listen right away. With my own dogs, we’ve successfully trained them while maintaining patience and understanding. When caring for other dogs, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and handle any issues with a caring and attentive approach, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved. I understand as a dog owner myself that pets are also a member of the family and they need about the same care and attention as a human.

“Armani was great, my dogs loved going on walks with her. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.

“Eleanor loves to go on her walk and comes back happy and relaxed.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember I have always enjoyed taking care of them and making sure they are living their best life. I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs. I look forward to treat your animals as if they are my own and show them every bit of love and care you would show them. I go to school at St. Ambrose University and during the spring semester I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day and always available for drop ins or walks. I am always open for last minute bookings! Whenever I am watching a neighbors dog while staying in their house I make sure I am constantly spending time with them and getting their energy out, whether it is playing fetch, taking them on a walk, or even just cuddling on the couch with them. I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!

About: I always had dogs in the house growing up. I treat them like my own kids, and I will do the same for yours! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors. I'm always looking out for their needs and making sure they are comfortable and happy. We are home at all hours of the day so availability is very flexible! We love to be active and can't wait to play with your pup! I want to give busy owners the comfort and security I would want if a stranger was watching my dog. I will be in touch frequently with photos and updates while caring for your dog.
