“Laura was wonderful! I booked last minute and she was so helpful! As this being my first time using Rover I will be booking again & hopefully with Laura! Zeus enjoyed his time with her as well!”
“We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.
About: Animals have always brought so much joy to my life. We currently have three amazing rescue dogs. Whenever I talk about adding another to the mix, my husband jokes that we can—as long as we get rid of one first! So, I figured I’d hack the system a bit by offering to help out with your pets instead. Now that my kids are all of driving age, I’ve found myself with a lot more free time. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience helping family and friends with their pets, and I’d love the chance to help you out too. Whether it’s for a weekend away or just a busy day, I’m here to make any time apart from your pet as easy and stress-free as possible. My schedule currently has the flexibility to extend care to your pets as needed. Whether it’s stopping by for a midday walk, keeping your pet company while you’re away, or helping maintain a routine they’re used to, I can easily fit it into the rhythm of my day. I will follow your specific institution when caring for your pet. I know how much our animals mean to us, and I will care for, love and spoil every pet I care for like they’re part of the family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine.
About: My yougest child as now reached adulthood and I'm need to fill my time I use to spend with my kids with your fur babies!! I've had all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I lived on a small farm and we always had animals around. Dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, ext. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and they are just like family to me. I currently work full time during the day but would like to help those that have to work long hours and different shifts during the weekdays. I am available most every weekend and state holidays all day. For weekend holidays or overnight stays. I do not have a fenced in yard so I would perfer to stop by your home and take your pet for a walk and get some exercise where they're most comfortable.
About: I trained service dogs for 2 years. I currently work as a zookeeper, where I care for a variety of animal species. I have pet sit for many friends and family members throughout the years. I also have my Bachelor’s degree of Zoology. My current weekend is Wednesday and Thursday, where I am free all day. I’m free mornings before 7:30am, lunch time, and evenings after 5pm Friday- Tuesday in between work. I have large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run. I have very friendly large lab mix named Jasper who loves to play.
About: **Prices are negotiable** I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. If your dog has behavioral challenges, this may be something we can do to wear them out and make them one happy pup. I would love to share my own experience with you to help you learn just how important structured exercise is to your pups (and your!) lifestyle. I work for myself, and I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I'm open to coming up with a schedule that works for both of us. I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.
