“Holly is Great! She helped us out on short notice and did an excellent job walking Duke (75 lb husky/pit mix). She was great on communication and excellent report cards! Even when there was an issue with the cell service in the area due to a power outage she made sure to leave a physical note to let us know how the walk went just in case she couldn’t post through the app.”

“Alainnah has been such a life saver. She’s super reliable and consistent with watching our doggos during the work week. She also went the extra mile when my puppy was a little sick one time. She truly cares about our dogs and is great at communicating everything with us, so we know everything they are doing/getting themselves into. :) I highly recommend Alainnah and am so grateful for all of her help.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As an adult, ive had cats, birds, Guinea pigs, hamsters. I’ve also had experience working with a dog breeders, so new mom and puppy care. I’m open to working with all animals! I work part time so my schedule is flexible. I have my own pets and I don’t go on vacation. Let me know what you need! I’m great with communication I will make sure to spend as much time with your pets to make sure they are safe and well taken care of. I love spending time with animals
About: Since kindergarten, I’ve always had a canine best friend. I can’t imagine life without one! At 15, I fell in love with my first feline companion, and now I can’t imagine life without either. The companionship that animals bring is precious, and that’s why I treat all my clients with the care and love they deserve. My fur family currently includes my dog Beatrice and my two cats, Callie and Fiona. I have over 5 years of experience working as a dog kennel attendant. My passion for animal care continues to grow, and I’m excited to start providing personalized care for other pets in their own homes. I understand that some animals, especially smaller or older dogs and cats, feel more comfortable staying at home rather than in a boarding facility. In 2023, I adopted a senior dog named Becca and had the joy of caring for her for two wonderful years. I was able to arrange for my grandma to watch her while I was away, which allowed Becca to stay on her routine and feel safe and comfortable. Experiences like this have strengthened my understanding of the importance of individualized care. I know every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routines. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and discovering what makes them happy and comfortable. With patience, dedication, and love, I am confident I can provide excellent care and companionship for your furry family members. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have full availability! I’m ready to accommodate your pet care needs. I am wanting to provide walks, multiple drop-ins, house sitting, or just longer daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. For drop-in visits and house sitting, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, potty breaks and waste cleanup, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. I understand how important trust is when welcoming someone into your home. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for your pet while maintaining the safety and comfort of both your home and your furry family member. For dog walking, safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic pups to calm seniors. I always use proper leash control and monitor dogs closely to ensure they aren’t experiencing any stress or discomfort. I will make sure to ask if there’s anything specific I should know about walking your dog, like a favorite route or type of walk. I would also love to provide updates and photos during walks so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Compassionate, communicative, safety focused and respectful of my clients and their buddies of all different shapes and sizes! not to mention we live in such a beautiful part of the world and dogs just make it so much better to share with! I can be the good guy or the stern guy, all depends on the situation and the needs of your babies! I’m a merchandiser for a well known pet food company so well versed in animal nutrition. My dogs dabble in Top Dog events here and there so I’m definitely well versed in the challenges of some breeds and I’ve also been a house/animal sitter (all types of animals large and small) pretty solidly for the last few years with Trusted Housesitters. I have 5⭐️ reviews for all of my sits, repeat sits and more importantly life long friendships with my clients and their animals. Let’s just say that I have a ton of furry nieces and nephews 🤣 I’m taking the plunge with ROVER to keep active, to continue my flexible income goals and to support my stupidly expensive fishing habit. But all jokes aside this is ridiculously serious to me because it’s a nightmare when you can’t take a holiday or travel or focus on work because you don’t have the trust or faith that your pets will be cared for at the same level as you do. A few years of Veterinary Tech and Grooming work gives me a fairly mature and solid base of animal husbandry practices and procedures that is always an asset as well as SO MUCH LOVE and APPRECIATION that we get to be loved back by all the critters! Pet care encompasses every waking hour because I’m a dog mom of three! In saying that I can’t afford the perfect life of hanging out with my dogs 24/7 although I keep trying! I’m super flexible with my job. No set hours so whatever suits your pets needs/schedule works for me! Socializing, insane nature walks, or sitting at a picnic table or bench just taking it all in and reflecting, because you 💯 know that our pets are the masters of reflection and taking it all in❤️Flexibility and open mindedness makes everyone’s life better. I don’t offer my home for boarding but we do live on 10 acres of property that is full of madrone trees, creeks, challenging terrain or relaxing flat logging roads for an epic leg stretch! Every animal is different and has their own individual needs and wants so once we assess those we can create a program that will be pure stoke for your pet! I’m an outdoorsy chick who is always scouting for fish so my walks are generally planned around a watershed for the most part. One thing that I can promise you is that there’s a good chance your pet will be pretty pumped to see me again🫶 Your home=your rules🤙
About: I have attention to detail in the care of your pet. I raised wolf-hybrids for 6 years and know you can't let your guard down, but you don't want to miss out on the tender moments, either. I love animals and take dedicated care of them. I work part-time so pet care is a great way for me to contribute locally in a way which is needed. My time is flexible. I have a building for dog care, convenient to being walked and fed and played with. The building is available year-round, so I can provide care all year.
About: I have been caring for my own pets for seven years, as well as helping others with their pets. I have three very well behaved dogs of my own! I really enjoy going for walks so bringing a new friend would be awesome! I am a full time student at UCC, and work part time at planet fitness on the weekends. I am almost always available in the evening. I provide my pets with the food and water they need, bathe and groom them regularly, go on walks and to the dog park and they are maintained with their vaccinations. I love animals very much so I also give them lots of love!
“Monica was very attentive to Cooper and made sure he was tuckered out before leaving. She took him for a nice walk and then let him have some zoomies in the yard every day she was here!”
About: I have grown up with dogs, raising all of them from puppies (starting at 10 weeks). I also worked for four summers at a dog daycare with dogs of all ages and breeds. At work, I learned how to perform basic grooming procedures, worked with many dietary plans and restrictions, and handled medications. I have also volunteered with shelter dogs and cats with various behaviors and needs. I currently work 4 day weeks, but I have ample free time on my days off I have included in my calendar. Let me know how I can best fit your pet’s needs. I have a dog of my own who is very timid and territorial, so I do not offer services in at my own place. However, I will treat your fur babies with the same love as my own.
About: I am a veteran pet caretaker, having years of professional experience working in multiple large boarding kennels, as well as doing in-home care for dogs and cats of all breeds, temperaments, and ages. My main source of work is as a professional dog trainer, so I am equipped to care for dogs of a variety of temperaments and behavioral needs. I love dogs and cats, and when working with me you can be assured that your pet will be in caring, gentle hands. My schedule varies by week; please reach out for details and to arrange a visit schedule that is perfect for your pet. I will be happy to speak with you regarding your pet's needs and routine. As a veteran pet caretaker, I understand that I have the capacity to improve your pet's wellbeing while you work or travel, and that is what I aim to do. When dropping in for home visits, I want to make sure that I meet the pet's needs as completely as possible - so if a cat misses their person who is traveling, I might want to spend some extra time cuddling with them. If a cat is high energy, I would spend time playing with them. I strongly feel that drop-in visits should not just give your pet food and water, but some of the normal comforts they are used to when you are home. When walking your dog, I always want to make sure that I am engaged with them so that I can meet their need for stimulation and interaction, and to make sure that I am reinforcing good outside habits.

About: Greeting, My name is Helen. I’ve recently completed my contract in the military. During my time in the service I spent time caring for my colleagues dogs (I do love cats, but I’m allergic) and found myself actually branching out to others when they needed someone to watch their babies. I grew up always having a dog in our family, and know how important they are as family members. Their unconditional love is something I’ve always cherished, and it would be my joy and honor to care for your fur babies whenever. My schedule is flexible, and I am available often. It’s really not a hardship spending time with loving pups. I do have experience with pets that have special needs. I look forward to hearing from you and your fur members.

I apply positive reinforcement and maintain a clean a sanitary environment. I will provide the best care for your little one or your big one, but we all know they’re all little. You’re dog, cat, or whatever your companion may be they deserve the best care and all the love. I am prepared to give that to them. I love and care for animals. I plan to become a vet technician and a pet groomer for my career. I provide a good atmosphere and environment. I am creative and outgoing.
