About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am available for walking, dog park visits, bathing them is optional, and I am open to any breed. I have always been great with pets, we have 3 of our own who are amazing with everyone and other animals. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
“Savannah was amazing, seriously. She made time for my pup on Mother’s Day so we could have a get away for a couple hours! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies, I would definitely book with her. Probably the plus 1 of the stay was the fenced in yard, so they are able to just run and potty freely without having to be leaded.”

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another.
“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”

“Mocha had a great time with Nicky and their pet Nugget. She would send regular updates and pictures through out the day and well cared .The big fenced backyard and Nugget is a big plus. I would definitely recommend Nicky anytime. Nicky is the best I can ask for Mocha”

“Maddie was fantastic with our dog as we were passing through town on our honeymoon! Communicated well the entire time and was amazing with our shy dog. Thank you maddie for everything!”

“Braleigh took wonderful care of Friedrich. Her children, dogs, and husband all contributed to making his day special. I was delayed picking him up due to traffic and she was very understanding. Bralieigh sent numerous text updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to have her care for Friedrich again. Dale B”

“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”

“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

About: I have had a dog in my life since age 6. I have always had rescue dogs and as many as 8 on a large property. I have lost all but one and don't know if I can take the heartbreak again. To provide boarding or daycare options, my 'dog fix' will be fulfilled and serve your needs also. I have never met a dog that didn't like me, all dogs I have met engage with me quickly. I am a RN and have performed CPR on one of my dogs before bringing him back to life. I give meds to my dog now and have given injections to my dogs in the past. I walk daily and if your dog wants to join me, perfect! I work from home and an empty nester. I am home most afternoons and evenings and will adjust my schedule to be here with your fur kid without large gaps in time. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door to the backyard if your dog knows how to use one. My neighbor is small with sidewalks for safety. I have a large and medium crate if your dog requires one no need to bring it. They can be on the couch or even sleep in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a covered patio to protect from the weather elements so your dog can lay outside and enjoy fresh air. Water will be available outside also.
About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
