About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am a work from home mom of two young children, 3 & 1 and I love to care for animals on my free time! I am currently not accepting repeat drop-ins/walks. However, I do accept one time drop-ins, dog walks, and boarding. I’d love the opportunity to car for your furry family members! Please message me with any additional questions 🐾 My apartment complex has a fenced-in area for pets to play, which we love taking advantage of on nice days! 🐾 Food and potty breaks will always depend on your pet’s individual routine, so just let me know what works best for them and I’ll be happy to follow their schedule! For pets who are crate trained or prefer to sleep in a crate at night, I do have a crate that comfortably fits most dogs, so you don’t have to worry about providing one for boarding. Because we have a cat of our own, we typically keep him in his own room at first until we’re confident that everyone is comfortable around each other. We also have two young children who are full of energy! All interactions between your pet and my children are supervised to help keep everyone safe and comfortable. Because of this, please only book boarding with us if you know your dog is comfortable and friendly around both cats and young children. ❤️

“Allison is the best! This was my first time using Rover as a pet owner and I definitely plan on using Allison again. I just rescued Maya three weeks ago and was a little nervous but Allison came for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease and knew I could trust Maya with her. She was very thorough and attentive with Maya and took some great pictures too that I might have to get framed!”

About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas.

About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.

About: I have hands on experience working at an animal shelter, where I regularly walked, handled, and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Through this, I’ve worked with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious ones who need extra patience and care. My experience has taught me how to read dog behavior and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits easily into not my daily routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my day to day meet to each pets needs. I do attend church on Sundays and Wednesday, but outside of those days I am highly available and committed to providing consistent and attentive care. In my home (boarding/daycare): I provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible. Dog walking: during walks, I focus on safety and exercise, making sure each dogs get the right pace and level of activity for their needs. Drop ins: when visiting a clients home, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and receive attention and playtime. I also respect the home by keeping things clean and following all instructions closely. No matter the service, I provide updates and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and live while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Ashlynn! I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience with pets of all kinds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! For in home care: I work Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. I will be more than happy to stay with your pets at home as long as they will be okay for that time period. In my home all of my animals are inside animals. My dog has two scheduled feedings at 6am and then at 4pm (plus treats because who can say no to those faces lol). My cat’s food bowl is full 99% of the time and he eats it whenever he feels like

Tiffani is prompt, professional, and wonderful with our dog! She took our dog for a walk each day and always made sure to give her plenty of love and attention. We also really appreciate the great pictures she sends after each visit—it’s such a nice way to see how our pup is doing while we’re away. I would highly recommend Tiffani to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. She is truly great!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
