About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, energetic large breeds to cuddly lap dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love creating routines that make pets feel comfortable and happy, whether that’s a brisk morning walk, a game of fetch, or just curling up for a snuggle. I also have a 1.5-year-old mini Goldendoodle who I absolutely adore, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member! I am currently on summer break, so I am pretty flexible! When school starts back up, I will typically only be available in the evenings! Whether your furry friend is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I strive to create a calm, loving, and secure environment that mirrors their routine and makes them feel right at home. In my home, pets are supervised closely, given plenty of love, and kept in a clean, safe space that’s free of hazards. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets personalized care and attention. My own pup is friendly, fully vaccinated, and always supervised during any interactions. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to walk routes and bedtime habits. I provide regular updates with photos and always keep communication open, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, you can count on a trustworthy, responsible sitter who treats your dog like family.

About: Along with my own dog, I have sat and cared for my friend's and family's pets for a couple of years now and I am a very detail oriented and attentive person who truly cares for animals, almost more than humans. I am home from college for the summer and work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and get to know your babies! I can walk, feed, play with, and care for dogs in line with your instructions, whether that means administering medication(s) or staying with them overnight!

About: I'm flexible and as a previous pet owner, both dog and cat, I'm aware of the difficulties in obtaining and keeping good pet care. I started out fostering but am now turning my sights on pet care services. I'm currently retired so am available for most time slots. I'm very flexible for both weekday and weekend jobs. I also do temp work but am currently idle. I do not plan on offering in-home services at this time. I'm interested in on-site care. I'm available for the in-home care of your pet. I would do feeding, playing, and walking your pet.

About: I am a certified dog trainer and managed a daycare / boarding facility for 2 years. I was an employee there for longer. 12 hour days every day with dogs of all types. I know how to administer medications, including insulin. I also know how to handle myself in emergency situations, I've learned dog first aid and I've broken up fights in my time that would've been deadly if I wasn't there. I'm free anytime every-day. I do gigwork, so my schedule is very open ended. I love dogs, cats, and other pets a whole bunch, I've got two dogs of my own. I'll do whatever someone wants for their pet, assuming it's reasonable. I'm okay on multiple large walks, extended play time outside, anything like that is 100% okay.

About: Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I have had a number of jobs in the past however most of them contained some element of caring for others (human AND friends with fur or fins!) Due to the pandemic I have found a couple of fun ways to earn some $. I enjoy being a driver for Uber and Lyft. And I have fun caring for a few of my neighbors' pets. I am looking to increase my income by expanding my pet care services. Things that set me apart from other pet sitters: * My schedule is wide open / VERY flexible! * I have a reliable vehicle. * I am a mature, caring, and dependable adult who enjoys all types of pets! I hope to hear from you!

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

About: Animals have always had my heart whether they have fur, feathers, or floppy ears, I love them like they’re my own! 🐾 From playful puppies to wise old whiskers, I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve had the joy of helping many senior pets live comfortably and happily in their golden years. I truly believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is for them to stay in their own cozy space, surrounded by familiar smells, toys, and routines. That’s why I provide the kind of loving care and attention you’d give them yourself so you can relax knowing your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. With over 12 years of experience in pet and house sitting (both through Rover and independently), I’ve spent lots of time with older pups and pets who need daily medication and a little extra TLC. I know how reassuring it is to have someone trustworthy in your home and by your pet’s side. 🐶💬 Just a heads-up: while I’m great at snuggles, meds, and belly rubs, I’m not a certified dog trainer so I will not be offering training services. If you have a training routine you’d like to continue while gone please let me know so I can accommodate. For everyone’s comfort and peace of mind, please let me know if there are any security cameras inside the home before a sit begins. I completely understand the need for home security, but just as a heads-up it’s illegal in most states to place cameras in private areas like bathrooms or bedrooms, even if it’s your own home. I respect your space and privacy and kindly ask for the same in return. Thank you so much for understanding! 🐾🏡 Pet care is a big part of my routine, and I always aim for clear, honest communication up front to make sure I’m the right fit before booking this helps avoid any surprises or conflicts later on. I also offer full-time care and am happy to take time off work to focus completely on your pet, especially if they’re extra cuddly or need that close, consistent companionship (Velcro pups are my specialty 🐶💕). I always aim to create a safe, calm space where your dog can feel at ease. As a new face in their home, I take things slow, stay relaxed, and tune into their energy letting them set the pace. I understand how confusing or stressful it can be when their favorite human isn’t around, so my goal is to build trust and help them feel secure, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💛


About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

About: I live on a farm and I have had/have all different types of dogs and all other farm animals growing up. I am very particular in the care of my pets that would take your needs of your pets very seriously. I’m a stay at home animal mom already. I have a flexible schedule that I can work with you to get the best schedule for your pets needs. Stopping by mornings, afternoons, evenings! * I only do drop in visits and walks* I am able to give the clients pet the love and care it needs while they are away. I’m very particular about my own pets care that it is my personal duty to keep the clients normal routine for their pet as close as possible for pets best interest. With plenty of updates.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I love being able too see and pet all sorts of animals. I think that it would be a privlidge to take care of someone else's pet. I would treat them like my own and take them on various walks and many potty breaks. Its something that you can't ever get back, spending time with animals is relaxing and it helps with your emotional needs too. I generally love animals because they have such a personality of their own sometimes. I have taken care of sick animals too so a sick pup in need is a pup that I can take care of so that you don't have to miss out on work or an event. I only work until 2 pm and I am only working part time hours right now so I have plenty of time during the week and every other weekend to play with your pup! I have two cats and a small dog at home. We take our dog out almost every time we go outside and she has a regular potty schedule! She constantly has food, and cold water (out of the fridge). Safe to say your pup will be a little spoiled.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, I have had experience as a pet sitter with Fetch, I have also volunteered with many rescue groups. I know your fur babies are your family and I treat them that way. I take pride in giving your pet the attention and love they need while you are not with them. I currently work a flexible evening schedule so days are best as well as weekends, I am gone for about 5 hours in the evening but can always stop by and make sure your fur baby is ok. I treat your fur baby like they are family. If they have any special needs or health issues, what there favorite treats are, just let me know
