Elise is wonderful! She follows instructions and is always on time. She is also great with communication and I feel so comfortable with leaving my dog in her care while I’m gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone :)

About: I have two dogs of my own. Both are very friendly and get along with other dogs. They have been to the dog park multiple times. I am home most weekends, evenings, and throughout the day on weekdays. I will treat your dogs like my own. I have flexible rates if you need me to watch more than 1 of your dogs. I have flexible rates if you need them watched for an extended amount of time. I have a son who has been raised with dogs since birth so he will treat them well and is not afraid of dogs at all. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to helping care for your fur baby. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I also have flexibility to leave work for an extended lunch. I have the flexibility needed to care for your pets. I have friendly pets who are used to other animals. I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule and make this as smooth as possible.

I have used Caitlin several times to walk my 60lb dog while I'm away. She is very responsible and responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates. One time my dog became ill and she reached out immediately and helped get her to the vet ER and stayed with her until I was able to arrive. Would definitely recommend her.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and had a very special furry friend for 16 years. My kids, 5 and 12, also love dogs and have had many wonderful experiences with different dogs. We don’t have any other pets in the home just now but are well-situated to care for yours. Our lot is almost an acre and the entire backyard is fenced in. I’m working from home and all three of us have lots of energy to spend walking or playing with whatever pets visit our home. I’m also available for dog walking or other in-home care. I work from home most days, which increases my flexibility and availability for your pet. My kids and I are early risers, and we love the outdoors. We are an active family and love to hike the parks or walk the neighborhood. I have a fenced in back yard and our lot is almost an acre. In addition, I am an avid walker. Any pets in our home or that I am taking care of in your home will receive lots of love and attention, with all of their special needs being diligently met.

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a toddler. I have been a dog sitter for multiple families and I look forward to their vacations every year! I am a college student living at home, so I have plenty of availability, meaning I could stop over multiple times throughout the day if needed! I will walk, feed and play with your dogs as an individualized plan is made up. Every dog has different needs and I’m willing to adjust to their schedule! My job is to let you know that your dog is getting the best treatment possible.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now. It started with neighbors and family friends, and it’s kind of just grown from there which is how I ended up here on Rover! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, from puppies to senior dogs to cats with unique personalities. I always make sure your pets are well taken care of and that your home is respected while you’re away. I’m comfortable giving medications, sticking to any routines, going on walks, and making sure your pet feels just as comfortable as they are when you’re there! There really isn’t much I haven’t experienced when it comes to caring for animals. You can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands!! I’m currently working part time. I work two-four days a week for about five hour shifts so I have plenty of time to tend to your pets needs and make sure they’re getting the care they deserve. Outside of work I’m mostly home and have a lot of free time throughout my days. I also attend college fully online and am working towards my bachelor’s degree in marketing. When I care for pets, whether it’s in my home or a client’s. I do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I always stick to their usual routines and follow any instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime. I’m used to giving daily medication too. My own family dog takes an allergy pill every day, so I understand how important it is to stay on schedule. One of the dogs I regularly sit for also needs medication before bed, and I always make sure it’s given.

About: Life long animal lover, I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fresh water aquariums and hamsters. It delights me to give other pet owners peace of mind while they are away from their furry, feathery or even scaley family members by providing care, companionship and security. I offer customized pricing, message me to select a service level that best suits your needs. Pet care is my main schedule priority, I also work as a wellness counselor part time but generally have a lot flexibility in my schedule as I mainly operate remotely for that and I am happy to work with you and your furbabies schedule needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. It's important to me to ensure animals stick to their routines to ensure the least amount of stress while owners are away so the more detailed care instructions provided the better, I'm not afraid to adust my personal schedule to best fit the needs of any pet!

About: I have always had a dog or some type of pet! They very much are like family. I currently have 3 cats on of which who has adhd and has to take meds every day. I do have the ability to run around in dogs to get their energy out! I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can move anything around, especially if it’s a walk for the morning! If it’s afternoon, if I know within a decent timeframe, I can always make other arrangements to be able to walk your four-legged family member! At this time I am not offering in home pet sitting. I will however ensure that all safety measures that the pet family has in place are applied. For walks I always make sure to stop walking if no side walk is available when a car passes.

Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.

About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)

I had a great experience with Emily walking my dog, Rocket! She let me know when she arrived, sent me photos, and provided a detailed summary of how the walk went. Because the conditions near my house meant Rocket could not walk a long distance, Emily spent the remainder of the time allotted for the walk working on some command training - she was very thoughtful in asking me beforehand to confirm what commands I was working on with Rocket. I'll be happy to book with Emily again!

If you live in the firestone park community and need a dog walker to take your 4 legged friend for a goof walk, she is your girl. She took our 5 month old puppy on a walk at the same time every day! She also takes pictures of the walk and posts them on the time card. Definitely recommend.
