About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

“Great communication and takes lots of pictures. I can tell my dog is in good hands!”

About: By age six I was helping care for my family's animals both on the farm and in the home. It was instilled in me that pets and farm animals were to be fed and cared for before anyone else. From tending to horses, poneys, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese to more domesticated animals such a dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and rodents - I have never lived one day without an animal by my side. I have passed down a love and respect for all wildlife and nature to my children. I would be honored to care for your pet and treat it as if it were my own. I'm currently the pet parent to a 15-pound cat and two dogs - a pit / lab mix that I rescued and a miniature aussie. I'm a widow who, until recently, cared for my late mother who suffered from Dementia. As such, I know first hand how therapeutic animals can be. I'm retired with two adult children and no grandchildren yet - so I can't think of a better way to fill my day than to care for your pet while you're away! I live in a rural setting in Butler County, KS. My animals are fed well and provided fresh water daily. I do not shy away from litter maintenance and am comfortable administering medications or following any health or safety protocols set by the pet owners. I have a degree in education and used to operate my own in-home childcare business. As such, I have a long history of families trusting with both their children and their fur babies!

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 4 years in Virginia! Experienced with all types of pups. I have two of my own as well! I also helped my mom with her dog-sitting business. I love all pets! I have had Great Danes to Yorkies, and love all kinds of pups! I know how it feels to leave your pet in another’s hands, and will go above and beyond to make them feel at home with me. I have worked with all sorts of dogs with different meds, foods, and requirements, so I am prepared for anything! I have dealt with pets with aggression and personality problems as well. I am excited to work with you and meet your pups! I am currently a stay at home mom to a little four month old. So this is a great way for me to earn some cash and get out of the house! I love to stay active, so I’m down to play around or walk with your pets! And of course snuggle up and give scratches too. If it’s routine your pup needs, just let me know and I can stick with their norm!

About: Reliable, attentive sitter with experience in puppy training, senior care, medication administration, and behavior support. I prioritize safety, routines, and loving, individualized attention for each pet I have a super flexible schedule so I’m really available most of the time, between 12:30 and 3 PM I typically have work but before and after I am usually free. I haven’t decided if I want to housesit in my own home, but I do have a fenced in yard and a large cage if needed

About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities! I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs :) I work full time in healthcare but luckily, I have weekends off! I have lots of time to play with and get to know your pup! I have a pretty big fenced in yard along with free rome in the home! I have 2 friendly dogs for your babies to play with while they stay!

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

“With my schedule being busy my foster pup needed someone to take him out in some adventures. He loves walks so wanted to try a dog walker. Bruce did great with Essence and really enjoyed going for a walk with her. Definitely going to continue booking Bruce to help get his exercise. Recommend Essence for sure! She did amazing with Bruce! She kept us updated and she took pictures of him! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets, especially dogs since my parents brought home my first dog when I was a little kid. I’m used to the responsibility of taking care of animals and making sure they are fed, walked and happy. I’ve also walked looked after dogs for relatives and neighbors who were away since I was a kid. I work from home on the weekdays. I work for myself as well and like to take breaks by walking around my neighborhood so it’s easy for me to find time for your pet. I’m available most the weekend as well unless something unexpected comes up. I have a one room apartment near college hill park, it’s an ideal location for dog walking, as it’s a very safe and walkable neighborhood. Being in a small space makes boarding a little difficult (which is why I charge more for it) but it is doable.

About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

About: I have always loved animals. Ever since I was a little one I have always had an animal to keep me company. When I was an adolescent I start a pet sitting service in my hometown. I love love to start that up again now. We have two dog; Jack and Piper. They are both very friendly dogs, when enjoy playing, cuddling, and eating together. There are two cats Tiny, and Toad. Our caged pet is a bunny named Buddy. Buddy gets along with cats and dogs as well. I am a stay at home dog mom. So I can spend all of my time bring comfort to your little loved ones. You can trust that with us, your babies will be our babies. Thank you for reading.

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃‍♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).

About: I’ve always had a passion and a big heart for animals. Growing up I lived on a farm, we always had lots of animals around! I’ve taken care of multiple different breeds of dogs. I know what it takes to keep any fur baby happy 😊 simply with lots of love, lots of play time, attention, treats, and of course walks😉 Im currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available most days to go on a walk or whatever your needs may be! I currently have one dog of my own who is spoiled with toys and loves to CONSTANTLY play so I can definitely keep up if they are high energy. I love going on walks or simply playing catch in the backyard. You will never have to worry about your animal not getting enough attention, if anything they might get to much! :)

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have 5 dogs of my own. I will take all dogs!! I love puppies, and special needs dogs the most! I can teach new tricks as well! I actually taught one of my dogs how to smile. I am not afraid to give baths or feed them. I am not worried about any breed what so ever. I am currently not working. I am a single mom so I do take my daughter to school. But I am available to take care of your pets plus my own. I am an online college student so I can do homework anywhere. My dogs are out and about all day while I am home and are kennel trained while I am away from the house for longer than an hour. I will care for your animals just like I do mine. They will be loved and played with sooo much as I have energy for days. I love to play fetch, tug of war, etc. My dogs have a six foot privacy so they can go outside whenever they want.

“Very responsive, and communicative. No issues, would hire again.”

I will be home to tend to their needs, will follow their care plans, and play with them to ensure their time spent in my care is the best! We have a large fenced yard with reinforced bases so they are safe to play to their hearts content!
