About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up with a family dog and have experience with daily responsibilities such as feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I currently care for my cat as well as two lizards and two turtles, so I’m comfortable managing different types of pets and their unique needs. I also helped care for my aunt’s Chihuahua for several months, walking and feeding him twice a day and making sure he was happy and comfortable. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same attention and care I give my own. My schedule is currently open on Fridays and Saturdays. I am generally available starting around 11 AM and prefer midday visits, but I’m happy to stay flexible and can keep my afternoons open later if needed to accommodate your pet’s schedule. For safety and comfort, I currently provide care in clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I believe pets feel most relaxed in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their usual routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.

About: I’m my friends’ go-to sitter and walker, especially when they’re in a pinch. My background in volunteer work, combined with my love for helping people, is what pushed me to giving Rover a try. I can’t think of a better way to spend my free time! I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule. I’d love to spend that extra time with your pets and keep them entertained. I love the outdoors, so going on long walks to for a group exercise session will always be in order. I give pets the attention they deserve. I’m highly capable of managing my time, where balancing my work and your pets’ needs is never a concern for me.

About: As a professional pet caretaker with a passion for animals, I have the experience and skills necessary to provide top-notch care for your beloved pets. Although my academic background is in oceanography🌊, I have had a deep love for dogs and cats since I was a child💕. I raised two beautiful Samoyeds in my hometown. Since moving away, I have spent time connecting with other pet owners and have even become best friends with a mini goldendoodle owner🦮. I excel in caring for puppies under one year old. Currently, my neighbor has a young Samoyed girl whom I've been helping look after since she was three months old. Whenever her owner is busy, I accompany her, play with her, and take her for walks and hikes. With my diverse experience and genuine affection for animals, I am confident that I can offer the loving care and attention your pets deserve. As a marine science researcher transitioning to working from home starting in May, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that your pet receives ample attention and companionship. With a flexible work schedule, I can dedicate significant time to looking after your pet, engaging in activities such as walks, playtime, and socialization. I am also fortunate to have a close-knit group of friends who own various breeds of dogs, including goldendoodles, Samoyeds, and cavapoos. We gather on a weekly basis, providing an excellent opportunity for your pet to become part of a friendly dog community. These social interactions contribute to your pet's overall well-being and happiness, as they can develop and maintain essential social skills with other dogs. In addition to these weekly gatherings, I will tailor my daily routine to accommodate your pet's individual needs, such as feeding times, exercise, and any specific care requirements. My goal is to create a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for your pet while they are under my care. With my adaptable schedule and passion for animals, I am confident that I can provide the best possible care for your pet as part of my daily and weekly routine. In my own home, I reside in a comfortable and pet-friendly apartment with my boyfriend. We have taken the necessary measures to ensure that our living space is safe and secure for pets, with no hazardous materials or objects within their reach. Our spacious Jeep is also suitable for transporting most pets, making it convenient for trips to the park, vet, or other locations. When providing care in a client's home, I maintain the same high standards of safety and cleanliness. I diligently follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet owner to ensure the utmost comfort and well-being of their pets. Trust is of utmost importance to me, so I always strive to be transparent and communicative with my clients, keeping them updated on their pets' activities and well-being. In both situations, I focus on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for the pets under my care. This includes providing physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction to keep them happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. Rest assured, your pets' safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities as a professional pet caretaker.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the last 6 years. I am extremely passionate about caring for dogs. I genuinely love spending time and ensuring their well being. I have had my own dog the last 6 years, 2 different dogs, and friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they are out of town. I'm currently looking for part time work to go hand in hand with part time dog walking and care. Right now my schedule is flexible. I will follow all instructions that the owner has for their dog. My dog at home is very well behaved and doesn't get into anything so we trust to walk around our apartment. I have also experience in dogs with crates.

Melissa was personable and friendly, calm, confident, on time and fun to work with. She was so attuned to Nico (our 8 week old Maltipoo) and already taught him a new trick (sit) by the time I arrived home, which she recorded for me. We hope to have her back again and again for longer stints, including house sitting when we are on vacation. It's like having a caring sitter and experienced trainer rolled into one! Highly recommend her.

About: I originally started work at a dog daycare and transitioned to pet-care in 2023. I have two cats of my own; Lizzy and Thomas. Upon request, I can absolutely water plants and check mail if you need the extra help. I will jog with your dog! I'm able to do over-night stays and drop-ins. On my spare time, I enjoy exercising and cooking. My favorite things to make are chili and chocolate chip cookies! I lock doors and if I’m pet sitting, I take direct instructions from the owner. If I’m dog sitting- I always have double the amount of poop bags. My cell phone is always with me.

About: For the past four years, I’ve helped care for my family’s toy poodle who I absolutely adore. Through daily walks, playtime, and regular care, I’ve learned how important patience, attentiveness, and consistency are when working with dogs. He’s very playful and loves being outside, so I’m used to staying active and making walks fun and engaging. We also go on many road trips together, which has taught me how to ensure a dog feels comfortable and secure in new environments. Spending time outdoors with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m currently working part-time and going to school 3x a week, so I’m available for walks in the evening between 3-10pm We have a fenced yard with plenty of space for our dog to run around and play in, we also have many engaging dog toys too.

About: I have grew up with animals since I was in my mommy’s belly. I was always taught to treat animals the way we treat our kids, neighbors, family members etc… at the end of the day our pets are our family and I stand by treating your family the same way I would want mine to be treated. Animals have shown me the true meaning of love, empathy and loyalty and I hope to give what I learned back to every animal trusted in my care. I have owned a german shepherd so I know how to be stern but playful when needed and that body language matters and has a great impact on how animals act and it’s important to show our best for them :) I currently go to school for ultrasound, I attended school M-W-F from 8am- 5pm. For the most part I am free after school and on Tuesday and Thursday all day, I give as much time as I can to my pets and want to be able to do the same for other people’s pets while also being able to help pay for tuition. I understand that animals have a schedule and getting off schedule can mess up the flow of everything with them, I am planning to make sure I can integrate whatever they need into the schedule made for them to continue to make things work the way they need to.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and other animals for over 18 years all around my town as well as from families and friends. I’ve had the privilege of taking care of many different breeds and ages. Also, I’ve done plenty of play time, training, walking, feeding, bathing, etc. with them all. I take care of animals as if they are my own! My sister and I currently own a small business in my hometown with flexibility throughout the day to care for whatever your pets may need. I have a nice size home and backyard. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood and am close to many parks to visit with your animals. They would get to spend time with my sweet dog who loves to have company over!
