About: I love to play with and see doggies . I'm starting this business because my son and I love dogs so much and we just want to be able to walk or pet some because let's face it it wouldn't be good for the pup with my busy schedule going to college and 2 jobs. I've adored dogs since I was a little girl have opened 4 raised 1 from a puppy (dauschund) rescued one (German Shepard pyraness) great mix by the way. I volunteered at the shelter when I was 12 walking dogs and cleaning kennels . I take care of m cat every day .I brush her , clean out her pet litter , she gets filtered water and Buffalo cat food . I would allow the animal to walk around my home if it was friendly enough too or put them free in the basement w a baby gate up. But we would go for a walk get lots of pets and play w each other if he/ or she wanted too .my cat is friendly w dogs and has her front 2 paws de clawed

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: I have been involved with animals since i was a young kid. My first job at 15 was as a kennel assistant at a veterinarian clinic. Since then i've become more involved with animals. I volunteer, foster and transport for animal rescue and i have 3 personal dogs. I love all animals and i'm well trained at reading dog body language. I'm smart and responsible and will take care of any animal as if it were my own. Any breed or size doesn't scare me. If you've been scared to have someone watch your pets before because you felt they wouldn't understand your dog, have no fear! I know what it’s like to find someone to trust to take care of your pets the same way you would. I am a college student with a fairly flexible schedule! I’m available most weekends and evenings as well as early mornings if within a close proximity I have a fully fenced 6’ privacy fence and an extra bedroom or crates for your pet to feel safe and comfortable as well as my 3 friendly dogs to play with When caring for your pet in your home I am most respectful and careful! I act the way I would expect someone to act when they come into my house, with respect to one’s home and privacy.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Many breeds from labs to aussies to huskies. I can bathe, trim nails, and exercise your pets if need be. I work in a dental office throughout the week but my hours are flexible. I can work around the schedule if I can plan ahead. I plan on following the instructions the client has for the pet. If the pet parent does not want the pet to be off leash or walked in a certain part of town, I will follow those rules. I am particularly about my own dog and her safety so I completely understand where people are coming from when it comes to letting someone else watch their pet.

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: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

About: I've volunteered at an animal shelter and a zoo working with all types of animals. I was a dog handler at a dog daycare for 2 years where I learned how to understand dog body language and healthy dog play. I also helped with in-home pet care while working at the dog daycare. I have a reactive 12 year old mutt (Victor) that I adore so much. He has been my family's most rewarding and challenging dog yet, and he has improved on handling his emotions after I started learning about positive reinforcement through my dog daycare job. I have pet sat for friends and family and look forward to meeting your dogs and cats too! I am available this winter! Feel free to message me and I can check my calendar! I'd love to meet you and your pets. 🐶 Full-time pet sitter/dog walker 🐱 For my reactive dog, I play music and use baby gates to block windows he usually barks out of before I leave the house. This keeps him more comfortable and calm while I'm away. In pet owner's homes, I make sure to follow instructions and give pets, treats, and play time before I leave.

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With the holidays coming up we know how hard it is to find a reliable place for your dog to relax and stay at but we will make sure they get all the attention and time that they need while you’re away! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so your pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a bunch of free time around the holidays as well! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

Our puppies love Glen. Because they’ve been walking with him on a regular basis, their muscles are strong and they walk around with a newfound confidence. They have been able to walk farther and farther with each subsequent walk, which makes all of us happy.

Kara is the best! My pup adored her from the very second they first met. She is organized and immediately picks up on all of the little details about your dog’s needs or routine so you can fully relax knowing they are well cared for. She will keep you updated with the sweetest updates and photos every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough!

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.

About: I'm an attentive but relaxed dog (and cat!) sitter and walker. I understand that each animal has a different personality and do my best to accommodate every pet.

I promise stoic pictures at the beach or in the kitchen. I have experience in caring for: Giant dogs with medical needs. Blind dogs with bladder problems Lap dogs I am currently self employed, so I have complete control of my schedule and daily routine. My days typically start at 8AM and end at 12AM.
