I appreciate Lillian for being reliable for taking care of my rover dog. She arrived on time to walk Edie on a holiday evening, followed instructions for dog care, took a couple of photos, and issued a rover report on Edie’s activities. I would recommend her service and we rebook her when needed.

Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals. From a young age, I’ve felt a special connection with all creatures, big and small. This passion has driven me to not only understand their needs but to also dedicate myself to ensuring they receive the best possible care. Whether it’s through daily walks, providing enrichment activities, or simply offering a safe and loving environment, I’m committed to giving animals the attention and compassion they deserve. I believe that every animal, just like every person, has unique needs and a personality that should be nurtured. I’m here to make sure your furry, scaly, or feathered friends are in the best hands possible. I work from home and can provide services on a flexible schedule from day and/or night daycare, walks, potty breaks and training. I also have reliable transportation for pets. I have a fenced yard, large inside area and designed space for animal care. All animals have space to enjoy and feel safe and loved.

About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.

About: Although I do not have any experience of taking care of animals, I’ve been a leader at amy job for 1.5 years, so I feel as though I have certain characteristics that make me stand out from others such good communication skills and the ability to adapt to certain situations. I also have a love for animals and would to have a job doing something I enjoy. I currently work in La Plata full time and part time at a cosmetology school. I’m looking for another job so that I can leave my current job. I have a large front yard, a fenced backyard, and an spare room in my house so any animal has it’s own space. In a clients house I will not disturb how the animal already lives it’s daily life, but just be there to watch and take care in the way it’s familiar with.

About: I am a professional dog trainer and a lot of times when my clients go on vacation I board their dogs, this includes boarding while they are at a work. As part of my love for dogs, I compete in dog sports and am very expierenced with all breeds and understand the unique and necessary care of each breeds needs! Dogs are my life! As a full time dog trainer no dog will ever be left unattended/unsupervised as this is my full time job, so me or my staff are always around! I have 5 personal dogs of my own! There will be plenty of opportunities for dog/puppy playtime during the day or while they are boarded with me. In the event that I can not 100% have attention on your dog, your dog will be crated as I do with my personal dogs; which, reduces the risk of any hazards or incidents, danger or harm to your precious four legged furry family member or to others. I am a full time dog trainer so dogs are my life! No dogs will ever be left unattended/unsupervised as this is my full time job so I am always around! I have 5 personal dogs of my own! So your dog will for sure have options of play during the day or while boarded with me. If i can not 100% have attention on your dog your dog will be in the crate as even with my personal dogs I do the same things! This decreases the risk of any accidentals happening

About: I’ve only had a personal pet. We had Bigs for almost 7 years before we had to put him down. I learned a lot from Cesar Milan at first but then realized consistency and love were the key to success. I’m currently care giving so I have a flexible schedule. I don’t work but I’m not available every day. I’m looking to help with your fur baby 3 day out the week, midday. I had to put my baby down recently, but, when he was around he was mostly indoors. We played with him outside and took him on regular walks. He had a bed in every room lol but was restricted from certain rooms in the room using a gate for the steps.

About: I own a moving company called Small Haul so I am in complete control of my schedule day to day. If you give me a day notice I will be able to accommodate most of your pets needs. When I was 18 I adopted a puppy and I named her Happy. Our time together is some of my best experiences. I learned a lot. Instead of getting another puppy I’ve been dog sitting and walking ever since. I also lived with Santa and helped watch his reindeer and other animals. At one point we had 69 animals on the property. I currently manage my own moving company called Small Haul. I have full control of my schedule. With one day notice I will usually be able to help with any pet needs. I own a moving company so I understand the vulnerability that comes with having someone come into your home. I will always be professional and treat your pets with love.

About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.

About: Hi! My name is Yari. I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve been around mostly large dogs breeds(Multiple Boxers, Multiple Rotties)but I appreciate a fun sized fur baby as well. I am a dog mom to a Jack Russel Tarrier(She’s my World). I have worked at a doggie daycare/boarding so multiple dogs are ok with me. I love taking strolls and enjoying the weather; And if I can do that with your Fur Baby, it’s worth even more. I am very flexible with your needs and the needs of your Furbabies. Any special request that you ask, will most likely be no issue with me. I’m looking forward to get to know your Furbabies and hear from you. Thank you for your time!

About: My experience mostly comes from being a pet parent for 5 amazing years to a handsome bichon frise named Lucky! Unfortunately, he is no longer with me due to an autoimmune disease. However, I am now a dog mom to an intelligent and loving 9 month old mini poodle named picasso! I have cared for family pets and have experience with puppies as well. There is a walking/running trail at the local dog park within 5 minutes of my location to help keep your dog active and engaged! My home is very spacious and has a large fenced backyard for your puppies to play! I am prepared and have extra dog beds, bowls, and toys to make your pup feel comfortable. I offer walking, boarding and home visits. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a college student, so I have a very flexible weekend schedule to be able to spend with your pups. I'm also available for sitting, walks, and boarding on Fridays. My spacious backyard is fenced, along with the use of puppy gates in my home to ensure your pup is safe. I have a friendly 9 month old mini poodle who loves to play and would love to keep your pup company! I have toys, blankets, treats (upon parents approval) and a medium sized crate + playpen if needed. Your pet will be treated with just as much love & affection as they get at home! Meet & greets can be arranged, if necessary.
