About: Hello!! I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years now with multiple different families I care for consistently! I’m also a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic meaning I’m very well versed in pet care. I can provide care for pets that require a bit more attention, medical help (medications, special diets, exercises, etc.) and beyond that I am just extremely passionate in taking care of animals! Please reach out Id love to watch your dogs and cats for you! I work full time at my vet clinic my schedule is monday/wednesday 9-8 and thursday/friday 9-6. Im off on tuesdays and work only part time early mornings at a breakfast restaurant! For house sitting I am able to let your dogs out at least three times daily even if i’m working! I’m very flexible and able to prioritize your pet in between working. I unfortunately cannot board dogs at my house because it is not my house!! I still live with my parents and we have many animals that suffer from anxiety so introducing new animals to the environment would stress them out. I’m more than willing to come to you and stay overnights to house/pet sit!!

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my own dog when I was 14. Now there are 3 dogs at my house that I take care of during the day. I am attentive to the behavior of dogs and have a general understanding of it. I am currently a college student and attend classes during the day. I would be able to wall your dog in the early morning and the evening/night. I will go on walks, play games and give your dog plenty of attention. I usually let the pets decide what activities they are comfortable doing with me, especially when they are a new client. I like to get my steps in, so I will walk your dog as little or as much as possible!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with love and affection and a sense to have all the fun! I can bring toys and if you request my own pup to play she loves new friends I've walked dogs for friends, family and to those who requested it via my sitting and walking ads. Any special needs you may have for your pet can be easily met such as dietary, grooming requests or special medication. I can ensure you your dog will be well taken care of and in the best possible hands! I work remotely so I can mend my schedule to help take care of your furry friend. Just let me know what you need and we can work something out! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for sunbathing or watching the birds go by. My neighborhood is nice and safe for use to take regular walks throughout the day!

About: My love of dogs started about 5 years ago when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens for about 2-3 hours each day outdoors. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

My schedule is very flexible since I have a 2.5yr old daughter. My husband is also home about 50% of the month which makes my schedule even more flexible. I have taken care of all different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Both of my dogs are rescues who needed some extra love to acclimate when they came home.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s calming companionship for anxious pets, playtime for energetic puppies, or gentle care for seniors, I ensure every pet feels safe and loved. My experience with medication administration, basic training, and maintaining routines sets me apart. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind while you're away. As a college pre-med student with a passion for pets, I balance my studies with caring for animals, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. My medical background gives me an extra edge when it comes to understanding health needs, administering medications, and ensuring pets stay happy and healthy. I prioritize each pet’s well-being while managing my busy academic schedule, offering owners peace of mind that their pets are in capable, loving hands. When caring for pets in my or client's home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's specific needs. If they stay in my home, I create a cozy space with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I maintain routines, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, or nap times, to minimize stress. For in-home visits, I focus on maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, providing personalized care such as feeding, play, and cuddles, while also ensuring their space is clean and secure. My approach is always flexible, offering a combination of love, safety, and reliability.

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

About: I have had cats all my life. I am a cat whisperer. Have had dogs also and am good with them. Am good also with training. I am currently retired and working on my house so have time to care for your loved ones. I have had dogs, mostly terriers, and like them, and they like me, but am primarily a cat person. I know how to give medications etc. My yard is not fenced so I would walk dogs always on a leash or go to a dog park. Well trained dogs would have rooms in my home available. Otherwise crates.

We have used Gabrielle's services on three occasions. She is very dependable and followed all our instructions consistently. She clearly loves animals and was very attentive to our cats during our absence. We have 4 cats and one of them is outdoors most of the time. She made sure to let us know when she had a sighting of him as he is very shy of others, and sent photos of him when possible. I highly recommend her for your pets need.

Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

About: I’ve loved dogs for 12 years, including my own senior pup. Every dog in my care is treated like family—with patience, love, and plenty of snuggles. I work full time but a very lenient schedule allowing me to care for your pups early morning before 7am and anytime after 6pm. I’m also readily available on weekends. I have a 10 acre lot with a large section fenced in for safe yard play. Also, love long walks around our big yard. A large house with plenty of space for the zoomies.

About: I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s calming companionship for anxious pets, playtime for energetic puppies, or gentle care for seniors, I ensure every pet feels safe and loved. My experience with medication administration, basic training, and maintaining routines sets me apart. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind while you're away. As a college pre-med student with a passion for pets, I balance my studies with caring for animals, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. My medical background gives me an extra edge when it comes to understanding health needs, administering medications, and ensuring pets stay happy and healthy. I prioritize each pet’s well-being while managing my busy academic schedule, offering owners peace of mind that their pets are in capable, loving hands. When caring for pets in my or client's home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's specific needs. If they stay in my home, I create a cozy space with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I maintain routines, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, or nap times, to minimize stress. For in-home visits, I focus on maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, providing personalized care such as feeding, play, and cuddles, while also ensuring their space is clean and secure. My approach is always flexible, offering a combination of love, safety, and reliability.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to Rover. I have had the pleasure of knowing Melissa for the past several years, during which time I have witnessed her remarkable dedication to animal welfare. She dedicates time and energy to making sure the local animal shelter has clean bedding and towels on a weekly basis. She has also organized bake sales benefitting the local animal shelter. I am confident that she will thrive in an environment that nurtures her love for animals and do well at any job pertaining to them.

Carolyn is great with cats. She puts the pets first on her agenda in the morning, feeding and taking care of their needs. She took care of my cats when I went on a trip and they were very content with Carolyn.

We have used Gabrielle's services on three occasions. She is very dependable and followed all our instructions consistently. She clearly loves animals and was very attentive to our cats during our absence. We have 4 cats and one of them is outdoors most of the time. She made sure to let us know when she had a sighting of him as he is very shy of others, and sent photos of him when possible. I highly recommend her for your pets need.
