I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!

“Anthony is honestly the best. He has been walking them for a couple months now and they LOVE IT. He is so happy to see them and is very particular and diligent about reporting on cards and making sure they have a great (and tiring) time. I am SO GLAD I found him and will definitely continue using his services.”

About: I have taken care of three dogs of my own for three years now and they are high maintenance dogs and I’ve been able to maintain them very well and can take care of any pet!!

I’m always friendly towards any pet and will be able to meet all their necessities. I love dogs and cats and just being around them makes me happy.
About: My whole life I have grown up with dogs! My dogs that I have now are 9, 14, and 12 years old and all are healthy and energetic as can be! I have potty trained them, trained them to obey to nonverbal cues (such as hand motions for sit, stay, high five). And have provided proper care and training for them. I have a deep heart for animals and want to help out and provide protection and support as well as pet well being when pet owners can’t always be there! I am currently a college student online with full availability. I am available whenever and can be reached at anytime for any reason. Any extra curricular, gym time or social activity I do tend to be done very early in the morning around 7am or later at night around 7 o’clock at night. I tend to let my dogs out every hour or immediately after they drink water or eat. My little dogs like to go out all the time and my big dog likes to stay inside and chew his bone so I get him active by taking him on walks. I make sure that they get affection and hugs consistently!
About: Huge animal advocate! I have been around cats and dogs since I can remember. There is no breed, or animal that I will ever shy away from haha.

As well as playing with our Feline friends:) I am very laid back, but stern when needed. I love nothing more than to go for a good walk, or hang out with any animal really lol. I do like training but that takes consistency in order to master. I have all animals best interests at heart both physically and emotionally.

About: Hi, I'm Ellyce, I'm an animal lover and promise you I will treat your animals like my own. I have 6+ years of animal care, which ranges from dog sitting to caring for a farm. I love all types of animals and hope to make them happy as well as you I have plenty of free time to stay home with your pet and make sure they’re comfortable. I am very flexible with work to accommodate your needs I grew up around all sizes of dogs and worked as a vet assistant before starting my family. I would love to be able to help out with your pet as well and make sure they’re well taken care of, pets are family so we want to treat them like it.
About: From growing up in a pet loving home where there were always dogs running around, to having professional experience of pet sitting through college, I promise to always take care of your pets like they’re my own! Plus, I love enjoying the outside by taking walks, so why not add a sweet dog to care for along with me? It’s a win win for both of us! :) I have a very flexible schedule right now, so I am able to drop by multiple times a day and/or walk dogs while you are at work during business hours. I am more than happy to accommodate whatever needs your pet(s) have - whether that is crating them back up when I leave or making sure they have plenty food and water. I am a very respectful, tidy, and reliable person and promise to treat your home and your fur babies the same way!

I can also walk or feed your furry family member as needed during the day or evening depending on the days needed. I am very respectful of your space and instructions. I also give clients a quick report and pics as needed or desired ensuring your pet is well cared for.
About: I have owned and taken care of others’ dogs from a very young age, and have experience with most breeds of dogs. My passion is making your pet feel comfortable and happy during the time you are away, or during our walks. I am happy to administer medication, do special chores or anything else that needs to be done while you are not at home. I currently work part time, and schedule my own hours, so I am available for you based on what needs you have, with enough notice. I have one dog, Husky mix, and she is familiar with other dogs. We love to go on walks and trips to the dog park!
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”

About: I'd be happy to be your Rover. Providing an excellent experience and service for you and your furry friend is my goal! Specific feeding times, long walks, special treats, or anything else just let me know. I can guarantee that your dog will be happy and healthy under my care. I currently have a 6-year-old mixed breed dog. I got him from a local shelter and he is a bit hyper but loves to play with other dogs. I had a Boston Terrier. He has been my forever friend for the past 12 years until he passed due to unexpected tumor growths in his lungs. Being with him through his puppy stages, and now into his senior years has taught me a lot. He truly was my best friend, my son, and I will always miss seeing his derpy face in the window staring at me as I pulled into the drive. Thank you, and I hope to meet your dog! I work on-site from 6-7 am to 3:30-4 pm weekly- this makes me unavailable for walks/drop-ins during those times. I could take extended lunches around 12 pm and make drop-ins in the Ada and Lowell area. I am available to provide boarding for your dog any day of the week. Just know that they will be alone during the work week and have to hold their potty time until I get home! I normally let pets free roam when I am not home as long as they do not mark. I have a large back yard, it is unfenced but I never allow my dog unattended outside unless he was on a leash. We go on nature walks. I do love walking in the subdivision behind my home after work to reduce stress his and my stress, so hopefully your pet likes walks!

About: Hii! I’ve grown up with many different animals; including rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, ect. I am an animal lover, but having my own isn’t an option for me right now. I’d love to take care and make your pet happy. I’d treat them as if they were my own babies. I currently work full-time and am a college student, however I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy spending extra time with animals. I’d love to spend some of my free time taking care of your fur babies. I’m open to any ideas, but I’d love most to drop by or even walk your pet. I’d love to come to your own home where your pet is already comfortable. I do live in an apartment so my home isn’t an option unless well planned ahead of time. I do have family that lives on a lake and have no problem taking your pet there and spending time there with him/her. It’s a lot of land on acres for any dog to play😊
