Erin was excellent with my 2 German Shepards! She was punctual, reliable and I felt very comfortable having her take care of our pups when we were away. I really enjoyed the daily pics and comments of how they were doing. Highly recommend!!!

Working with Kayla was great! They handled our pup with confidence and care and was incredibly flexible and accommodating when we had to make last minute changes to the scheduled visits. Highly recommend Kayla's services and look forward to working with them again.

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua, a calm fluffy cat, a young playful kitten. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to help with your fur babies for as long as you need me to! I do offer services within my own home! I have a small chihuahua, a friendly cat, a small kitten, and a child under my roof as well. But, animal safety is my number one priority! I’ve taught my step daughter the utmost of respect towards animals! I can also keep my pets separate from yours if needed!

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. About 10 years ago I decided to Foster dogs. After a few years I started working with medical dogs from the shelter. I also enjoy happy go lucky pups and adult dogs. A friend suggested I work with Rover. After reading up on their services it was clear this is something right up my alley. The dogs I babysit will have inside and outside time but no more than their family requests. In the past I did adoption events at various locations for an Animal Shelter and was able to get to their needs that I have put in place. Working with Rover has given me the opportunity to meet more 4 legged friends and their families. I am available for up to two dogs. I offer a discount for stays over 7 days and discount for two dogs. I no longer foster and treat my yard for safety. I would love to be there for you while you are away. A typical day starts with potty time and a romp in the yard. Then inside for water and food. Usually another trip outside to do their business again. Then inside or outside to play. I have a bowl of dog food and 💦 out all the time My Rovers are rarely put in a kennel unless they are chewers or the family requests that they need to be at bedtime only. Other than that I have few rules. I just want your baby to be comfortable and happy. I do work part time but I have someone in my home 24/7. I know dogs prefer a private home and not a kennel. I rarely kennel a dog but let the owners dictate what they prefer. The dogs spend very little time outdoors. I have a fenced in yard that they can wonder around or stretch their legs with a healthy run. I can provide a warm environment with lots of love

About: I have been a dog/cat/house sitter for my family and friends for over 20 yrs. I will take care of your pets like my own I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I had to say goodbye to my dog last year and wanted to help other owners with theirs until I’m ready to adopt one of my own. That’s going to take some time. I’m I will have a lot of fun with pet(s). I enjoy going to the park or a hiking trail or staying in the backyard. They will be cared for and receive many hags and kisses. I understand the importance of a routine for some pets and will do whatever I can to keep them safe and happy.

About: I am an excellent communicator and treat pets as they are my own. I have a heart for helping others and this is one of the ways I do that! I’m currently a college student and am very flexible with my schedule. I have weekends free and can help in a last minute situation! I’m happy to help. I make sure to ask lots of questions about the home before I am left there with the animals. I also make sure to question anything I am unsure of or unfamiliar with! I also prefer my fiancé to accompany me for safety reasons. We are a fun couple who loves dog sitting and taking care of your pups! We’d love to meet you and your furry friends!

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

Estefanny is a great pet sitter. She was on time or let me know when there was a personal conflict right away. She kept Deb busy with walks and play time. I would use her again and recommend her to other pet owners.

About: I'm a huge animal lover, and advocate, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets, as if they were my own. Ive been pet sitting for over 4 years across the country. Thank you for considering me. Right now my schedule is free, so I have open availability. Pet care is my top priority and I can work weekends and nights, as well. Before I enter a client's home, I always like to have a quick chat or meeting to determine personalities, safety, and schedules for each pet. My goal is to make the animal feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to establish trust quickly and empathetically. Every home and family is different, so I try and respect that.
