It is my dream to spend my later years caring and loving for animals. I am interested in making caring for and loving pets my full time job, so I am more than interested in full time positions. I would love to leave my current day job behind and make my passion for animals my full time job. Your pets and your home will be treated as if they are my own. I live in a nice subdivision and keep my back yard fenced for the dog’s freedom and security. As I have several pets already I would be caring for or walking your pets in your home / neighborhood. I will send photos and videos of your pets as I care for them so you can feel at ease while away from your pet(s).

I enjoy being with dogs and cats and feel they are not judgmental and easier to get along with then some people. All the animals like to come over to me and get petted and they seem to enjoy that. They just want someone to love them and I would be more then happy to give them attention.

“Dawn is great, I've been unable to walk my dachsund Blu due to an upcoming back surgery. He's never left my side with anyone else, but had no problem at all walking with Dawn. He's getting his exercise again and really enjoys his walks with her, he comes back happy as can be!”

I have done pet sitting and dog walking for coworkers and neighbors over the past 20 years and I also volunteered for Cat Crusaders in Tampa for three years where I cared for cats housed in a local PetSmart. This involved cage cleaning, playing and administering medications. . Due to my recent retirement that has given me abundant free time, I have decided to offer these services on Rover.

I respect all pet owner rules, so I will feed, walk and care for your pets according to your wishes. I will also clean up, water plants, etc.. as needed. I can make visits to your home at any time based on your needs and I can also take your pets for walks. I am not available at this time to stay overnight in your home because of the needs of my own pets and I am also not boarding dogs in my home.

“My fur child Ben loved Cheryl! She walked a 100 lb lap dog weekday mornings for two weeks, and he was very happy. Cheryl was prompt, reliable, affectionate and attentive to our boy. I will check her availability again in June when I will need a couple more days. Thank you Cheryl!”

Not everyone can be there to walk or feed their pets (due to everyday tasks), and my goal is to make sure your 4 legged family member is safe and sound while youre gone!! Growing up ive had everything from Hounds to Pits an Jack Russell's! So big or small wont turn me away. Exercise, nutrition, and saftey are my priority! So regular walks and a close watch will assure your pet comes back to you with a 4 paw rating! On call 24/7 and always ready to make sure your pets are treated to your highest standards! (Walking, boarding, feeding, play dates, bathing.) I own an homemade dog food and delivery service so I’m always up for the pups! No matter how picky they may be! Caring for animals is my passion! I have been a sitter for 6 years now and still have clients that call me first. All about trust :) When taking care of any animal I always treat them with respect and that goes for a client's home as well. If something needs attention, or if plants need watering? I'm on it!

I only take assignments that I can comfortably fulfill . I try to meet all my clients needs. I am trustworthy and always go above and beyond. Animals love me and I connect every easy with them.

About: Additional fee of $1.5 Per mile if you’re more than 10 miles away from me I have to take Lyft to get to you. No pick up and drop off fee will be applied if you’re in walking distance. Hey there! I’m Yaritza if that’s to hard for you to pronounce you can just call me Rover, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. I’ve been a dog enthusiast since I was 10 years old—basically a lifetime of wagging tails and slobbery kisses! I have a guide dog who thinks she’s the real boss around here, and she’s always ready to make new friends (just as long as they don’t steal her treats). With 14 years of experience wrangling cats and 12 years of dog adventures under my belt, I’m well-versed in the art of pet pampering. I love walking and playing with dogs, whether they’re zooming around like puppies or taking it easy like wise old sages. I’ve even house-sat for senior dogs, and let me tell you, they know how to live the good life! While I don’t drive, I’ve mastered the fine art of navigating with my guide dog and making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companions I currently have a flexible schedule since I’m not working, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and give them all the love they need. I'm happy to help out on holidays or weekends, too! I believe that good communication with pet owners is key, so I’m always here to chat and make sure we’re on the same page. I will wake up anywhere from 7 to 9 am and give everyone breakfast and medications if needed. Can get up earlier if your pet requires me too for their daily routine. If a walk is In their schedule, I will do that first before breakfast then depending on how tired they are they will wait for half an hour to an hour before having their breakfast. This is due to the heat so they’re walking as early as possible. If your pet is on a different schedule, of course I will follow that so please make sure you provide your pets schedule and medications otherwise they will use the schedule I have below *Water is provided throughout the day unless resting after walks. *The rest of the times that are not outlining the schedule or spent either playing your pet or cuddling with them whichever they prefer *7-8 am Early walk to avoid the heat *7-8 breakfast and bathroom break meds if need if they didn’t need a walk if they went on a walk depending on how tired they are I will have them wait for half an hour to an hour before breakfast *10am-12pm bathroom break *2-4pm bathroom break *5-6pm dinner meds if need *7-8pm short walk if not dark outside. *10pm bedtime Pet safety is my top priority, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your furry friends are in good hands. When dogs are in my care, they will always be leashed to ensure their safety and to help prevent any unexpected adventures! As someone with a disability, I take extra care in handling your pets, especially when it comes to taking them for walks. I believe that a smooth and safe experience for both the pet and the caregiver is essential. To further enhance their safety and identification, I will change their collars to Martindale collars with bells. These collars not only look great but also help keep track of your pets, especially if they decide to explore a bit too much! When your pets are in their own home, the only change will be the collars, so they can feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to keep to their routines, so I will be diligent about following their schedules and any specific needs you may have. Communication is key, so I’m always open to discussing any additional preferences you have to ensure your pets feel happy and safe while I care for them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. My friends and family have trusted me with their furry best friends for over 10 years. I’m great with puppies and can teach them commands quickly!

I have open availability to keep your fur baby happy and healthy while you’re away or do drop in visits in your home if you prefer! I have 2.5 Acres of fenced in land with 1 fur baby of my own to keep yours company. He is excellent with other dogs, and loves to play. I can keep yours in a crate if that’s what you prefer, or he/she can sleep anywhere in my home. I’m able to take your fur baby out for potty breaks as often as necessary and we will get a ton of play time together if he/she wishes. I also love a good lazy day, so your lazy mutt is welcome as well! If you and your pet prefer the comfort of your own home, I can do drop in visits for feeds, walks, play time, you name it!

About: I have been around my family's pets since birth-dogs of all sizes and cats-but my journey with caring for them began when I was 14. I helped birth, raise, and train three litters of great dane puppies over the course of a few years and have loved and advocated for them ever since. I still petsit the dogs in my family household in their senior years. I understand that all animals have unique body language and I strive to pay great attention to this. As a house and petsitter, I will always adhere to your personal advice, if you have it: how to interpret your dogs' unique behavior, how to engage with their personality, and how to make them the most comfortable. I also trust my intuition and will always prioritize their safety. I look forward to being a great friend and caregiver to your furbabies! I am a student; From January to March I attend physical classes two days a week and I will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fri/Sat/Sun. I cannot care for pets in my own home, however, I will travel up to an hour to care for them in your home. I have a driver's license and vehicle. I will provide the play and exercise per your pet's individual needs, feed them and keep water fresh, administer medication if needed per your instructions, and drive them to their favorite park or vet appointments.

About: I have always had a love of animals since growing up on a farm in rural West Virginia full of chickens, pigs, horses, cows and of course dogs and cats. I currently have one dog, a German Shepard female. I'm a single mom who is looking to make some money on the side doing something I love. I work in healthcare but I'm exploring other career opportunities caring for animals. I'm hoping by helping other families I will be accomplishing two tasks at one time: gaining experience and assisting families. If you would like a kind and compassionate person to care for your animals in your absence I might be what you're looking for. I have never been convicted of misconduct towards people or animals and willing to go through background check screenings.

“Jennifer is great. She came for a Meet & Greet and spent time getting to know Colt. For his first walk, Colt was confused at first when I didn’t go with him. Once he realized it was just the two of them he was fine and went down the driveway wagging his tail. Jennifer took pictures and told me all about their walk. I have booked Jennifer for weekly walks and look forward to our vacation next month.”

About: Highly communicative, and very consistent with pet care, paying attention to the time of day for meals and walks so the animal has a routine. I am a Healing Touch for Animals practitioner which gives me an added value and makes dogs feel safe and comfortable around me. My partner, who is a vet tech, may accompany me on stays at your home. I previously worked at a veterinarian hospital and was a dog swim coach for five years, giving me plenty of experience with dog training, managing dog behavior, and awareness of their health issues. I work part-time from home and am around most weekends, so I have plenty of time to care for your sweet pets! Multiple dog walks or check-ins each day are fine with me! I currently can do walks or check-ins or house sitting at your home! I also live by an active dog park that I can bring well-socialized dogs to play at. Let me know how I can best serve your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the day I was born. I’ve grown up around hunting dogs and cared for a dog with severe health issues including epilepsy. I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m home full time, able to provide pet care whenever. I’m currently searching for a job so this may change in the future, but for now I am an open book. My dogs ran our household, one of my dogs was missing a leg and still needed to play frisbee and run every day. I like to stay active with my dogs and my clients’ as well!

About: I grew up on a small farm, so I have experience with all kinds of animals. I started off by raising and taking care of rabbits and ducks when I was 4 years old. We also had a horse, a pony, a donkey, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, birds (parakeet, conure, dove, and pigeons), hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, fish, ferrets, a squirrel and geese. I am self-employed as a graphic/web designer, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can work from anywhere so I can be available last minute if needed. I am unable to board pets in my home due to having 3 dogs here but I can come to your home and provide whatever service is needed. I have both small and large dogs with different attitudes so I am cautious when taking them on walks to make sure they stay safe and secure. I also crate trained my dogs so I know what to do if that is required. When I take the dogs out to potty, I make sure that they do both to ensure there will be no messes in the home. I also keep an eye out for the Bufo toads that are poisonous.

About: I have been around pets of all kinds since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of kittens, adult cats, puppies, adult dogs of all breeds, pigs, chickens, rabbits, turtles, fish, and even crabs! 😂 My neighbors have always relied on me to watch their various types of pets while they are away. This is what led me here! I have moved and am looking for some new opportunities! I work almost 40 hours a week at my part-time job. I could have two days a week completely open. Most days I don’t go in until the afternoon and I am never off later than 9:30. I also typically have hour lunch breaks. If you decide I’m the right match for you, just know that while my schedule may be unpredictable, I always get my schedule a week and a half to two weeks ahead of time. My puppy honestly lives in the house as if she owns the place! She is absolutely the biggest sweetheart and veryyyy spoiled! I love to love on dogs, give them treats for tricks, getting physical exercise in and out of the house, and especially snuggling! (When I know the dog and the owners are okay with that of course). However, I also have no problem sticking to their everyday schedule (if they have one). I can feed, walk, and crate your pet as scheduled. Honestly I’m just such an animal lover, nothing involving the care of animals bothers me. I believe it is our duty to return the unconditional love and support our pets provide us with!
