About: Growing up, I always had at least two fur babies. So, I've grown adept at paying attention to signs of how they're feeling. They deserve to be safe, well cared for, and happy. I also pay lots of attention to detail and am well organized. As a college student studying architecture, this is necessary to ensure everything accounted for. I'll apply that same attention to your instructions on how to care for your pet, ensuring everything is done and double-checked. You can rest assured that they'll be happy, healthy, and safe under my care. I'm a part time college student for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to make sure every pet is happy, healthy and safe! I've had a well-cared for cat at home since childhood that we rescued from the streets. He has helped me learn how to befriend fur babies but he appreciates being an only cat. So, I'll go to your pet where they are most comfortable and feel the safest. That way, everyone is happy.
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!
“Jay is great! He showed up on time daily. Both of my dogs were happy to see him each day and he walked both of them with ease. I would highly recommend Jay.”
“Cierra did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Ashley is amazing !! She met us ahead of time and took great care of our dogs .”
“Janelle is so sweet. She spent extra time and took great care of my senior boys. She went above and beyond taking care of my fur babies and even brought my packages / deliveries inside for me.”
“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: 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.
“I was happy with the care Ashley provided!”
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.
