About: I have been a vet tech for 9 years and owned dogs and cats my whole life. I have plenty experience in training, behavior, nutrition and animal care. Friends and family trust me for all their pet care needs. For right now my schedule varies from week to week. Majority of the time I am off work 3 days a week. I will begin to change this accordingly depending on demand for pet care sitting. I have a fenced in backyard. It is plenty big enough for dogs to play. My cats have free roam in the house. My dog is kennel trained, but that is not a requirement for me. My cats eat twice a day and my dog eats only in the morning, by her choice.
“Nikki was great! She sent us pics several times a day and our dog seemed to be having a great time which allowed us to relax and enjoy our family get-together. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely use her again.”
“Lexi took great care of my 8 month old Great Dane! We were going to Florida for a week, & didn’t want to put her in a kennel so took a chance with rover. She allowed us to come and meet her first, see where Piper will be staying & make sure she would be safe. Lexi sent pictures and videos & always responded quickly to my texts. I was worried at first because Piper is a handful, to say the least lol If she can handle a week with my GIANT “hyper Piper” ….she can honestly handle anything!!!! Thank you so much for taking great care of her, I will most definitely contact you again when we need another vacation ❤️”

“Kara and Zechariah were willing to sit on almost no notice after my kennel fell through. They kept in touch and sent pictures of my cats so that knew that the cats were doing well. They seem to genuinely enjoy and care about animals. I would definitely book with them again.”
About: I have less experience with dogs. Only ones I’ve had as pets. I would be great for walks. I am reliable and timely with requests. I have a full time job, but looking for evening walks or weekend care. I am familiar with medications, shots, and feeding tubes. I enjoy walking and would gladly take your dog to the park for a stroll. At home, we have few rules for my cats. We have pet friendly furniture and toys. Dogs that get along with cats would be fine!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals since I was a child for my family and neighbors. My first pet sitting job was watching a cat and a rabbit for my neighbor. As an adult I’ve also had to care for injured dogs and cats. I love animals and want to enrich their lives within my abilities. On a daily basis I take Maggie out several times a day for walks and play sessions in our dog park. Combining my high energy with my love of animals and the outdoors made dog walking a natural choice for a new opportunity for me. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I am attentive, playful, accommodating, loving, and so much more. If you have a specific exercise or feeding schedule or ANY specifics that you want me to adhere to I am very detail oriented and happy to oblige.
About: I've had several different animals since I was little. I am an animal lover. I have experience with different animals. From a sugar glider to cats to dogs. **House sitting is 8 hour days Boarding is overnights Just for some clarification. I do not board in my own home. Please choose the correct service. If you need during the day and overnight please choose boarding** I am lucky enough to do Rover full time, got laid off due to my company getting axed unexpectedly. So I want to show love to your babies when you're going out of town or just on a date night! I do not board in my own home. I am happy to stay in your home and treat it with the upmost respect, while you are away. If that be while you are at work or away on a vacation, you can trust me with your fur babies. I do require a meet and greet before taking on a new client for my safety and theirs. *I have the right to refuse any client or animal for any reason* *I prefer to board in your home so the babies are more comfortable, especially if they are anxious. It will help keep them more comfortable so we aren't taking them out of their home and their humans leaving them all at the same time so I welcome that option as well*
About: Your pet will feel at home with me I’m very energetic and can keep up with any animals need and will provide the best care possible. I am currently working Monday-Friday 7:30-3:53 but have a husband that is home 3 days during that Monday-Friday schedule you’re pet will not be left or abandoned I will make sure they come first I have a fenced yard can walk nightly or mornings if needed will meet there schedule requirements. I have 3 other dogs a bulldog and two other small mixed breeds they are very friendly with other dogs and love company. I have a bed or a kennel that I can make your pet feel at home with.
