Abigail is wonderful! This was my first time with Rover, and she made it easy. She came over for a meet and greet, sent me updates, and took great care of my crazy babies.

About: I have dog watched for my neighbors every time they leave for town for multiple weeks in a row. I was responsible for walking and feeding them as well as checking on them every hour. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m available any time of day, any day of the week—including weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need when you need it most. I will spend more than the minimum hours with your dog and make sure they are happy. I will play with them and run with them if needed. I will be respectful of your house and make sure everything stays organized and neat.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my whole life. I used to own a black lab named chance. When I was young, we took care of him and took him on walks. He was a very shy dog that we rescued. When I got older. I got a bichon her name is Lime. We’ve had her for 18 years now and she is a blessing to my life. We Walker go runs with take her to the groomers vets and much more to make sure that she is safe and having the best life she can. I’m a college student and huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently intern at WSET ABC 13 News, where I’ve developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills. I have a tiny bichon named Lime who keeps life fun and energetic, and growing up I had a black lab named Chance, which helped build my lifelong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! My main thing is to care for the dog as the client wants. I wanna make sure the dogs are exercised and also just happy overall. I’m available to do almost anything. The client wants to guarantee the happiness of your dog. As a fellow dog owner, I love my bichon. She’s such a blessing to me back home so I fully understand how far we’ll go to keep our little Furrey friends happy. (My bichon currently lives somewhere else)

About: I’ve grown to LOVE walking/running with my dogs. Trained my pup Ozzy from not being able to walk down the street (as he was afraid of cars) to walking about 5 miles a day. I find the exercise helps him perform better with all other tasks and training behaviors. I’ve used running and walking dogs as an outlet to help me and the dogs maintain good health and habits! Here to spread the love. I have two very well behaved dogs with a back yard with room to play. I incorporate routine drills with positive reinforced treats, pets, and encouragement to keep them occupied with good habits in a good environment.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

About: I have taken care of dogs and a number of other animals since I was a kid. I have helped train my friend's dogs at times. I am a very active person so love being able to take a dog for a run or to the park for some exercise for us both. I really want a dog of my own but don’t have the availability year round to commit to having my own right now. I currently work a full-time job, but can be flexible in regards to taking a pup outside during the day. I do travel for work but I know all of those dates until November already. I will be sure to play with a pup a lot when I am home and would love to take it with me if I go hangout with friends, or go to the park (if it's friendly with other people/dogs). Sometimes I'm pretty available during the week and sometimes I'm more available on weekends. It truly depends on the week and season of the year. Winter and Summer times are a lot more free for me in general. I follow instructions well and am a very detail-oriented person. If a pup is supposed to eat between 4-6pm then they will get food between those times. In the home, whatever instructions are given to me regarding where the dog sleeps, if it can get on furniture or be in bedrooms, etc. will all be honored. I plan to love on your pet while you're away and would love to spend a relaxing evening watching a movie with them as well.

About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).

About: I've had pets my entire life and currently have a 12 year old pup who we love! Love taking care of animals and will make sure they get the attention they deserve! I work full time but have the summers off! Would have plenty of time to care for your pet and give lots of attention! Daily walks or overnight, my schedule is flexible to help! We do not crate our dog at home so I do not have a crate. I usually take dogs for long walks or I'm available to pick them up and walk them! Our dog is friendly with other dogs, but is older so doesn't have a ton of energy for play!

I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. I don’t have a set schedule it varies day to day. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have years of pet sitting experience in both my home and clients' homes. I also have 2 of my own who are part of my everyday life...spoiled, loved and always by my side. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or playtime, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and never alone. I enjoy getting down on their level, playing, and making walks something they truly look forward to. I have a flexible schedule and can spend extended time with your pet if needed. If you'd like someone to stay during the day while you're at work, I'm happy to bring my laptop and keep your dog company, offering attention, breaks, and playtime throughout the day. If you're looking for someone dependable who will treat your dog like family, I'd love to help. I have a flexible, remote work schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention: * Monday-Thursday: Available early mornings until 11am, and again from 3:30pm into the evening. *Friday & Saturday: Open availability * Sunday: Available starting at 11am through the evening Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to stay longer during the day if your pet needs extra company. I can bring my laptop and be there beyond a standard drop-in. I love getting outside for longer walks (3-4 miles) but I'm just as happy to do shorter walks to help your pup burn off some energy. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times. Before our first visit, I like to learn about any triggers, behaviors, or how they do with other dogs so I can tailor care to keep them calm and comfortable. I also check with you before giving treats and make sure I'm aware of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Most visits will take place in your home for your pet's comfort. However, if you ever prefer occasional care at my home, I have a fenced-in backyard and a Jeep for safe transport. You can always feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with consistency, attention, and genuine love every time I'm with them.
