“James was very comfortable with our dog and our dog was comfortable with him. He gave him lots of attention and exercise. James is also very nice, flexible and accommodating especially since we had a last minute request. I very much appreciated his help!”

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.
“Ashley was a perfect fit for us. She was able to come meet our stranger adverse dog before the stay. She was able to stay with our dog while we were away and kept us informed, with pictures. She was respectful of our space, our dog, and us. We look forward to using her again.”
About: My motto is: "Dogs, kids, and mosquitos love me!" Darned if I know why--must be one of my "superpowers" as they say. I have taken care of senior dogs, most recently for two weeks with Georgia near Bangor, Maine. I spent 3 and a half months with Xander in Berkeley, California. Also a month with Lucy & Charlie (Brown?) in Topanga County, CA. I've also enjoyed being with Toby, Latka, and Sookie in San Diego CA. Plus, Luna and yes, another Luna in Los Angeles. Special skills include a long attention span, creative mind, ability to play for hours, up and at 'em early in morning. Also: laying down with dogs and not waking up with fleas! I am a freelance journalist and author who writes books at home. Thus, I rarely leave the house, except to go to a library to work there. Four tomes so far, working on #5, with animals to be with and love--can't beat it! Xander, Sookie, Toby, Ted, Latka...if only dogs & cats could speak! (Sookie did do some kind of sing-song when I played harmonica...) The key to my care is slowing down and showing enormous patience, using experience, and giving mucho attention to love my fellow creatures enormously.
About: I have 12 years experience with a special needs dog. She was an amputee, had a heart condition, and arthritis. I understand dog behavior at basic level, follow instructions with a focus on the details, and pride myself in delivering exceptional service in everything occupation I've ever had. I'm a full time realtor with plenty of time on weekdays, nights, and weekends to establish myself as a trusted professional that cares about animal welfare. Following the instructions of the human client is my primary goal. The welfare and care of the animal is an added benefit that I enjoy as I earn the trust of the four-legged client.
About: I've had animals in my life since the age of five, and I have regularly taken care of family and friends animals. I've taken multiple classes on animal psychology and have a broad understanding of what dietary needs a domesticated animal. I have an open schedule; so once I know the time I'm needed I can rearrange my schedule to fit the need of the current time, I have the ability to go at a moment notice if need be I have a fenced in yard with two metal latch fences and reinforced posts in my main yard. I also have a 1-year-old cat named Toad who is predominantly an indoor cat.
“Mack is professional, prompt, reliable, and trustworthy. He kept our home neat, ran the dishwasher, and even put the bed linens and used towels in the laundry. Mack took Jameson on walks and sent daily updates, which is always comforting. It was great knowing that Jameson didn’t have to go stay somewhere else, but could stay in his own routine at home. I HIGHLY recommend Mack. I convey this to ALL my friends. Don’t ever worry or stress over planning a vacation. Just contact Mack!”
About: I've been lucky enough to have been able to help my mom with her business raising and selling dogs. Meaning I've dealt with taking care of pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, sick dogs, and senior dogs. I've also taken care of many different kinds of animals from reptilian to aquatic. My current full time job assisted senior living. I don't have a set schedule, but instead shifts I can choose to pick up. Meaning with proper warning I can puzzle piece my day to make time for your sweet pet. No matter what your pet needs I'm sure I can accommodate them and give them the care they need. And I always have extra supplies if needed. (carrier, food, toys, collars, leashes, ect.)
About: I’ve always had a deep love for four-legged friends, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog happy and loved! 🐾 I’ve cared for several of my neighbors' dogs over the years, offering walks, playtime, and even TV time when they’re feeling lonely. Every dog deserves attention, love, and a little extra care, and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether it's cuddles, a good play session, or just some company, I treat every dog like my own furry family member! 🐶💕 I am self-employed on my farm Five and a Half North Farm, LLC, so I have ample time in my schedule daily. I have cared for many types of pets, including hamsters, bunnies, dogs, cats, and chickens. I have a small fenced area in my yard for pets to run. I generally care for pets in other people's homes and respect the instructions for each pets needs.
“Kasaundra was fantastic. Very easy to work with and was such a relief helping watch my mother's elderly dog. Riley was sad to see her leave the last time! Definitely will rebook. I can't say enough about how great her services are!”
About: I have two dogs named Fin and Petey. Fin is a medium sized Irish Setter and Petey is a small Rat Terrier and Pomeranian mix! Being a small to big dog ratio, they get along pretty well! I take Fin on walks on the beach frequently as he is very well behaved and trained by me! Petey is more of a home body, but loves to go on walks and runs down the road. I have had many animals throughout my childhood: multiple dogs, many birds, ducks, guinea hens, and chickens! I am experienced to care for your animals they way I have and do with mine! I work as a CNA currently so my weekly schedule is inconsistent during the week, but I am able to provide care throughout the week and weekend as needed and avaliable! I have a huge backyard for my dogs to run around and always take them on walks, so even dog sitting for a little bit of time is just as good! With this being said, brining them home, along with coming to your home, or going to public areas, works well with me!

Personally, I have left my dogs in her care both at her house and as a care at mine while I am gone. When I am on vacation she would be my go to for taking care of the chickens as well. What I love most about Fran is that she has taken on my children as her own grandchildren and goes way above and beyond caring for them. I know Fran also takes care of many other pets for people, has been trusted to watch homes, and has many times worked with elderly in a multitude of ways. The last time I came to visit her she was actually sad that I did not bring my dog with me. I believe Fran to be an excellent candidate to work for Rover!”
