Dog Sitting Parchment

About: I’ve been involved in pet care the entirety of my adulthood. From big sled dogs to frenchies and more, I’ve played along with more than I can say. Experienced specifically with large breed dogs and small to medium reactive dogs. I work almost full time at a local doggy daycare. If your pet is a client there I’m happy to be flexible about drop off and pick up from there. I have varying flexibility throughout the week. Friday is the day I’m least available. I offer primarily drop in visits and walks. Well mannered dogs may walk with myself and my friendly, female dog. Others may get a little more one on one time if uncomfortable with other dogs.

“Justice was amazing and so great with our pup! They became best buds. :) Justice was great with communication, providing updates, and always on time.”

“Farrell made sure KC had what he needed everyday. Appreciated her photos and daily notes of him. I’d ask Farrell to look after him again when I go on vacation!”

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, as a groomer, as a vet concierge, volunteered and at a animal shelter. I have also been dog training, walking, daycare, boarding and pet/dog sitting and grooming for years. I've also fostered many dogs, animals are such a passion of mine! I do work like this very often so I am able to be with your sweeties as much as possible! Feel free to reach out to me! I always monitor and take as best care of them possible. Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. If your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

“If I could leave ten stars I would. Halle is simply the most intuitive, most attentive, and most caring sitters that my two cats have had the pleasure of spending time with. I cannot recommend Halle more favorably!”

“Camryn was very communicative and really went the extra mile as we have a new puppy who needed a lot of extra care and attention alongside our grown dog. Looking forward to leveraging her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others!”

“Emma was great! This was our first time using Rover and she se the bar high with a meet and greet before hand, timely communication and made us feel at ease. Our boys loved her and we are looking forward to our rebooking with her!”

“JoAnn does a great job with the dogs. She is always on time, and the dogs seem happy after she sees them. I would definitely recommend JoAnn.”

About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

“Our scheduled cat sitter had to back out a week before our trip and Ashley agreed immediately to do it. She was great with our kitty Lexie and communicated daily and added pics. She also was willing to bring in our mail which we were very thankful for! I would highly recommend her and will use her again! ?”

About: As a young female I have cared for many family pets, so I’ve experienced every stage from puppies to seniors. I provide reliable, structured care whether it’s keeping dogs active with frequent neighborhood walks, taking a nap with them, or just coming to check up on your furbaby if that’s all you need! I currently work about 15 hours a week so I should have plenty of time to give your dog the care he or she needs! I don’t mind sitting during the day or night whatever would make you know your pet is safe. Whether in your home or mine, I like to maintain constant supervision and ensure all dogs will be okay. I use sturdy leashes for every walk and stay highly alert to our surroundings to avoid any high stress interactions with other animals or people for those sensitive dogs. I also like to make sure your animal eats and feel comfortable enough to make sure they get the proper nutrition.

About: I’m a pre-veterinary student who has grown up with pets my entire life, giving me both hands-on experience and a strong understanding of animal care. I am a college student, so I have time before, in between, and after classes to care for your pet. I will work my schedule around your pet's needs. I care for pets in their own home by following your routines closely, providing plenty of attention and affection, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 7 years now, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pups—different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a 6-year-old dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekends. Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need! I primarily care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space and stick to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also respect your home and keep everything just as you left it. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

“My cats were well taken care of, and the whole transaction was easy from one end to the other. I returned to find 2 happy felines, everything cleaned up, and my mail on the dining room table!”

“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Lauren has been such a life saver. We have two very rambunctious (to put it nicely) dogs that have stranger danger tendencies, and they immediately loved Lauren. She is so good working with them and I feel so at ease with her caring for our pets and home. When she has pet sat overnight for us on vacation in the past, she was so great at sending us photos, watching over our home and even made it look nicer than when she came. The best part was her leaving photos for when we got home from vacation. I can’t speak highly enough for her love and care for our pets.”

“Julia was able to come on short notice and communicated well and was polite.”
