“Audrey is fantastic! She took amazing care of all my animals. We got lots of pics to see how they were doing throughout the day. We feel so comfortable having Audrey take care of all our fur babies.”
“Kaity provides such a high level of care and I trust her with my animals. Her reports are super detailed and she always sends lots of photos. She always goes above and beyond what I ask and I am super thankful for her! Very excited to continue to utilize her services in the future because my pets just adore her!”
“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”
“Nique did a fantastic job with my 12 year old pug. She sent updates and photos. Made me feel very secure leaving my sweet girl behind for a short trip. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again.”
“We were very happy with Heidi’s care of Boyd. I loved getting the daily pic of him. He always looked so happy. She really cares about the animals she take care of, and follows directions to a T. We will definitely be using her again when we go out of town. I have already recommended her to my dad, and will be telling others.”
“Sadey was fantastic! She did daily drop-ins to care for our two dogs, and they loved her. She went above and beyond in every way, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have years of personal experience with numerous breeds of dogs that I have owned. Your fur family member will be in great hands! I also have sat many breeds large and same and have many references. My home is a nice quiet place for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I don't have any of my own personal pets and there aren't any small children. I only dog sit for one family at a time so your pet can get his or her own individual care. I also allow pets on furniture and in my bed at night. Each pet gets walked daily along with alot of play time to get rid of all the pent up energy. Lots of love and cuddles also!
“Teagan was awesome! She was available pretty last minute. She still came and met the pups before our trip. She worked around her schedule and ours. She kept the house cleaned up which is huge for me! And she helped water flowers while we were gone along with taking great care of our 4 pups!”
About: I have had pets all of my life from a range to farm animals, bunnies, cats, and dogs. My dog fur babies are 12 and 1 years of age. I have had them since puppies. I give space and time for shy dogs to get to know me. I am home very day and can give medications and potty breaks as often as your animal needs. I have a spare bedroom that your fur baby can get space if needed or they can have full range of the home. I am also able to take your doggo on frequent walks or just loving cuddles throughout the day. I am currently working on developing my own metal health private practice so I am not working. I am 100% open to cater to your pets' needs. I take my 2 dogs outside on leashes for potty breaks. I am only able to do potty breaks on leashes at my home. I also pick up poop in the yard, so I am able to make sure your dog's tummy is doing ok.
“Nicole is so wonderful with all three of our animals! We have two dogs and a cat. Our dogs love when she comes over and plays with them outside! We’ll be using Nicole for all our animal needs.”
About: For visiting you're special fur babies, I am available to provide potty breaks, walks, changing of food and water, exercise, and play time. For overnight care, all of the above is also applied as well as making sure that your animals feel safe and secure while you're away. Updates on your animal can also be given hourly. I have been dog sitting for about seven years, self-employed. I've always loved dog sitting, since I've grown up around dogs my entire life. My late puppy Delilah suffered from epilepsy, so I am experienced with handling seizures as well as providing medication. I am also experienced with elderly dogs, and helping them get around. if you have any more questions please contact me. Nice to meet you! I’m currently a college student so I’m home for a good majority of the week! Most of my coursework is online, which makes me able to have more time to dedicate towards the care for your pets! For home care, I will keep your dogs on a leash outside at all times! I also will make sure that your animals are safe by keeping a close eye on them!
About: I've had pets my whole life. The last loss was tough. So I thought a part time pet was best for us. We'd love to take care of your pet! My day starts around 5:30 a.m. I get breakfast ready for the children. (Usually our dog) as well. I usually head out the door for about 4 hours then I'm home for the day. I have a fenced yard and also a very comfortable temperature in the house. I'm not a fan of crating. Though we do have a nice big basement if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have cared for neighbors pets. I’ve had dogs and cats, including labs and German shepherds. I love animals and caring for them. I’m available weekends and am home all day Thursday and Friday in the summer. I worked 9-4 Monday - Wednesday in the summer but am available for morning and evening walks and drop in visits. I have one German shepherd and a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. I live on a dirt road with five acres. I yard is not fenced in.
About: Had animals my entire life, my children are 10 & 12 and have grown up with dogs. Their babysitter they went to for years, had 5 dachshunds that they both adored. We built our home 3 years ago and currently do not have a pet of our own, so this would be perfect for us to do! Depending on the day, our routine varies. There will be plenty of time to spend with the dog/dogs every day of the week! My home is a safe environment and perfect neighborhood to walk a dog. Depending on the need of the dog, all of the dogs I watch will be cared for in a way that best suits their needs along with attention and exercise. House is quiet after 9PM and if not crate trained, will have a designated safe, comfortable spot in the house to sleep.
About: I would love to take care of your pupper and I also have four of my own (Daisy-7yo F, Meadow 3yoF, and Sage 3yo F, and Fern 2yoF) who get along very well with other dogs! I love taking my dogs on walks through our trails, playing in the large back yard with them, and snuggling! We also have a small doggy pool for your pup to play in if they enjoy water. I’d love for your pup to join in on the fun! I am willing to host more than 1 dog at a time if they are both friendly and get along well with all pups. My husband is also home for part of the day and can help when needed if I am not home. I also live in a house so they won’t be cramped up and can be comfortable. I have had dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and other animals in my family my entire life. My husband and I have been doing Rover for five years now! We can’t wait to meet you and your fur pup! Let me know if you need flexible options with pick up and drop off. My husband and I would be more than happy to pick a pup up if needed! I work from home remotely and have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend lots of time with your pets! My husband is home from work after 2PM and also takes care of the pups! We have a large, fenced-in yard and I don’t allow pups outside without my supervision. We also have a doggy camera inside for when I need to leave.
