About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.
“Saige aka Ziggy was an absolute dog whisperer. Ziggy took great care of my dog, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker, stop searching. One report card wrote “An aggressive dog approached Boone, I stepped in front of Boone and the other dog ran off.” I mean talk about CARE & SAFETY. ⭐️ x 5”

About: Hello! As a little girl I've always dreamed of working in animal care and I am enrolling in a local community college to start that journey. Thus far I have experience working in a kennel and at an animal hospital working with all breeds and temperaments! I currently work full time at a veterinary center that has a number of specialty services! I work Friday, Sunday, and Monday 12PM-12AM. I’m very flexible around this schedule as long as you can be. Not only am I caring for your fur-babies but I will be coming into your home and I want to make everything as comfortable as possible for you. I also enjoy sending out pictures (with your permission) and giving you update on how you're pet and home are doing.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, and am a true animal lover. I will treat your pets like they are a member of the family when they are in my care. I am a nurse with a very flexible schedule. I am available for boarding your pups on weekends and weekdays. Also available for drop-in visits at your home or dog-walking as needed. For boarding clients, I have a large fully fenced-in back yard, and two fur-babies of my own to keep your pup(s) company. My two 30 lb whippets love to run and play with other dogs. Also have the ability to separate dogs in my home if your dog prefers their own space away from other dogs when visiting.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal care and hands-on experience with a variety of animals. As a junior at UMass Amherst studying Biology Pre-Med and Animal Science Pre-Vet, I’ve worked with both household pets and larger farm animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of their needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and caring for both young and senior pets who require extra attention. I’ve worked at PetSmart as a Pets Hotel Associate, where I have cared for over one thousand different dogs, and sixty cats. My academic knowledge and real-world experience allow me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet I watch. I am currently working part-time at a vaccination/neutering clinic, so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets! I would love to work any day except Tuesday and Wednesday at any time! I care for your pets in your home by carefully following your instructions and paying close attention to their body language. Since animals can’t communicate with words, their movements and behavior are key to understanding their needs and comfort levels. I make sure to respect their boundaries and respond appropriately, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I owned and cared for a dog for 10 years and have experience caring for a variety of pets. Always careful about details when it comes to care. I am self employed and thus I am able to devote full attention as necessary to pet care when I am working for you and on the clock. I always am careful to understand the environment I am in and how it relates to the pet I am caring for. I also take plenty of notes on care details.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets since I was 12 years old. Cats, dogs, and fish. I’ve watched family and friends pets with their trust for many years. I’d love to help you take care of yours. I’m currently a full time Paramedic/Firefighter working 2, 24 hour shifts a week. I’m more than willing to work with you around that schedule to meet your needs in pet care. I can easily crate your dog if needed or feed them when it’s their time to eat. I don’t mind taking them on walks or playing with them in the yard. I will stick the schedule and desires that you want.
About: Nice to meet you! I’m thrilled you decided to visit my Rover page to read a little about me. Hi there! I'm Viki — a devoted, passionate, dedicated animal companion and advocate with a calm, caring presence and over 15 years of hands-on experience with pups of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have a deep respect for every pet's personality: Whether your furry friend is a playful, curious little one focusing on potty breaks and training support, to playtime and structure for those energetic adults, to gentle walks and extra comfort for sweet senior companions to those pups who are shy and sensitive, or those who require assistance or have wheels, or maybe you have that rambunctious pup and ya just can’t figure out how to get rid of that extra energy (or weight) — it can turn into things like lunging, reactivity, misguided aggression, I’m ready to meet them where they are — with thoughtful, personalized patience and care every animal deserves. My goal is simple: to ensure your family member is safe, relaxed, loved, and happy while you're away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in kind, capable hands. I’m reliable, intuitive and we’ll tailor your pet’s care plan to meet their specific needs, requirements and routines. You’ll receive open and honest communication and your pup will receive a tail-wagging good time! If you’re looking for someone who truly understands animals, and will care for yours with compassion and skill, I’d love to meet your fur family and you! **Please contact me for current rates** rates may change without notice / rates are non-negotiable. (No boarding at this time). Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for ensuring I’m available for their walks, appointments, drop-ins, feedings, medication administration, special needs and playtime. I’m organized, consistently on time and I ensure every furry friend receives the loving care, attention they deserve and they are comfortable before I leave the home. I also build flexibility into my schedule depending on situational needs of my clients. I sincerely enjoy spending time with my each one of my furry friends as their care is my top priority. My expertise comes in, to ensure the needs of my furry friends are met as their parents deserve peace of mind when they’re away. Safety is my Priority! Family’s and I meet before beginning a new journey together. Normal steps for getting to know a new family and their furry family member are the following: — Introductory Phone or Video Call: depending upon technical connection and circumstances. — Schedule a meet and greet: 1/2 hr to 1hr —make a schedule This establishes trust between both parties by getting to know one another, and while I’m there I can do a safety check, at no cost to new clients. I also take meticulous notes during our meeting so nothing is missed.

“Emily was great with the dogs and communication! Will definitely hire her again.”
Brooke P.
“It will be difficult to keep my comments to 25 words. Brooke is my granddaughter and she is a wonderful and caring young lady. Besides being very caring for her grandparents, she has shown to be caring for animals. Brooke has been around animals for all of her life. As an infant my dog would curl up with her when she took her daily naps. During her grammar school and high school years, her family had 2 cats and a dog. She was responsible to help walk, play and feed them. She was the favorite member of the family for their dog to climb into her bed at night. Recently during the past year, Brooke took care of her Aunts dog and cat. When her aunt returned, her only complaint was the pets didn't seem to realize she was gone. Brooke took excellent care of them and kept their normal routines. I believe that animals have the ability to know who to trust. Whenever Brooke is around animals, they come to her and feel safe. Brooke is a responsible and loving pet caregiver and they all love her.”
