About: I have grown up with numerous pets of different sizes since a child. Having my own dog I understand the essentials of dog care and take pride in the effort I put in to make sure his needs are met. Every pet deserves to be cared for as much as they care for us. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets and doing all I can to ensure they receive every bit of care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have availability in the mornings, some lunches, and afternoons. I prioritize their needs alongside my own commitments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I ensure the pet goes potty as many times instructed or needed, they eat their food with any medications needed, they get plenty of loving, and go on any walks requested.
“Taylor did amazing!! While I know my Sebastian where shy she did awesome getting him food and checking in on them. Even saved me when my flight got delayed an extra day and stopped by to help! Can't thank you enough!!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own right now and I've always loved animals growing up . Family Doggy Day Care offers a welcoming environment where pets are treated like our own. With extensive experience in pet care, I provide personalized and attentive care, I prioritize constant communication and attention to detail. My flexible services, reliability, and genuine love for animals make me a trusted choice as your pet sitter. I prioritize pet care by dedicating specific time slots throughout the day for feeding, walking, playtime, and providing overall attentive care based on the pet's needs and routine. I'm a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time to spend with my pets. I like to stick to routines as much as possible with my animals. I usually wake up around 7am to let my babies go use the bathroom and run around then they come inside and eat their food at their leisure. Safety, trust & environment If your pets tend to be escape artists, we have a seperate room as well as enclosures outside to insure they will not get away. I also have a big yard where they can run around or just lay under a tree. Accomodations are made for them to sleep inside or outside the house, with me and my dogs. You can bring your own doggy bed or they can always borrow one of ours! Pets will have access to a secure, fenced yard for supervised outdoor playtime, with plenty of shade from trees. a comfortable and pet-friendly environment will be provided, including cozy sleeping areas and access to fresh water. We will prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets at all times, closely monitoring their activities and interactions. Adhering to any special instructions or dietary restrictions, I will maintain a clean environment, regularly cleaning up after pets. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
About: I've had dogs everyday my whole life growing up, mostly big dogs. I have two large dogs and I help watch my pastors dogs frequently. I am a stay at home husband (temporarily) until my Air Force wife moves us to New Mexico. My schedule is very open and I love dogs, so why not play with dogs for the time being. My dogs are Crate trained, and I respect your dogs and property as if they were my own. Do right by others, even when no one is watching.
About: Hi my name is Ester and I am a big animal lover. I am currently employed at a Veterinary clinic and have experience with all sizes of dogs, cats and many other little critters.

About: I have pet sat and house sat for family members, friends, coworkers, and community members through Rover. I’ve also cared for pets while babysitting and/or housesitting. It is so much fun for me! I like being able to help others and make their lives easier when traveling, etc. I am a teacher, so I am gone most of the daytime during the week. I would be able to check on your pets before I go to work and after I get off. On holidays or weekends, I could spend more time with them! I would prefer to sit in your home to keep your pets comfortable and interrupt their schedule as little as possible! If other arrangements are needed, we can talk through it and & figure it out!
