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.
“Mariah is a great sitter. They really took the time to make sure my dogs were comfortable and familiar with them before coming for an overnight. They also stayed longer than expected when my flight was delayed to make sure my dogs were cared for! I will absolutely be booking Mariah again.”

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.
About: I grew up on a small farm in rural Ohio raising cattle, goats, and chickens, and I always had a four legged companion by my side. My passion for animals began before I learned how to walk. I enjoyed training our dogs before I even knew that it was a job. I spent many days shadowing our local veterinarian just for fun. After separating from the military last year I became a veterinary technician in Clovis but now have big dreams of starting up my own rescue. I have fostered dogs and cats in the area for four years now and would like to extend my experience and care for animals to all those in the area. As long as your pet is in my care I can promise that they are safe, loved, and comfortable! I am available for all offered services weekdays and weekends. This is not only my passion but my number one priority. I am very flexible so don’t hesitate to reach out! I have two extra rooms I use if your pet would prefer to have it’s own space (or even just decompress), a fenced in backyard, a pool if they like swimming, and my own dogs and one cat to play with if they would like! I also have extra crates and plenty of toys and beds/blankets.
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!
About: I grew up with different types of dogs in my home since I was 2. I have 2 dogs of my own currently. I currently have a dog named Henry who is 1 year old and my mom's dog Bleu who is 3 years old. I lost my senior dog, Max about a year ago due to old age of 14 years. Each dog I have ever owned I have had for years so I have experience in senior care.. When I have family members going out of town, they ask me to watch their dogs, specifically my grandparents. I am available partially mostly. I will run and play with the dogs and take them on walks as I am a former college student-athlete, so I want to keep the dogs energized. I do love taking dogs to the dog park just so they can socialize and run around. I also like to treat dogs with a Pupcup so we can both enjoy Starbucks together after a good day at the park. I'm am mostly free during the week days but not weekends. I currently am just finishing up my Master's degree online and also coaching at the University so I have plenty of free time to play with your loved ones! I can ensure your dog gets at least an hour of playtime and is receiving food and water 24/7. If your dog has special needs I will provide that.
