About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 10 and love taking care of them. I’ve also taken friends dogs while they were on vacation whenever needed. I work midday so I can walk your dog before 11am or most likely after 7 pm. Even if you just need me to go feed your cats! I do have a fenced in yard but love taking my dog Nala to different dog parks in the area. She gets along with all dogs and loves to play.
About: Hi! I’m Sam, a lifelong animal lover who has been around dogs of all sizes my whole life. I have experience with big breeds like huskies and labs, as well as smaller pups like malteses and cavapoos. I currently have two dogs of my own - a 4 year old cavapoo and a 3 month old cockapoo. My cavapoo requires daily medication, so I’m comfortable with administering oral meds and caring for dogs with special needs. I work from the office Tuesday-Thursday, so my availability those days is a bit limited. However, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends. While I can’t host dogs in my home, I’m happy to come to you for walks, playtime, or drop in visits. I’m very active, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while in my care. You can also expect lots of photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’ve had dogs my whole life, so pet care is already part of my daily routine. I’m available Mondays and Fridays and most weekends, with early morning (around or before 6:30am) or evening availability (after 7pm) Tuesdays-Thursdays. While I can’t host dogs in my home at the moment, I make sure every pup I care for feels safe, happy, and loved in their own environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks and play, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise and rest.

About: I have two good girl doggos of my own! I raised them since they were puppies and have worked on and off on Rover for years. I have 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and other animals and would take care of your baby like it was my own. I am available before noon on weekdays and any time on the weekend. I am a nanny in the city and head to work around noon on the weekdays. I'm totally free otherwise! I can do drop in or walks as well as bathing. We currently do not have the ability to accommodate pets in our home but I have experience caring for pets at their homes, including cats.
