“Danielle took great care of my little Daisy! She came and walked her for 30mins for three days while I was at work. I would continue to request her for further puppy needs!!”


2. Alyssa S.
“Alex has watched my dogs several times. He is always very helpful and involved with them. He doesn't just come in, take them out, feed them and leave. You can definitely tell he is an animal person. We have moved 2 hours away and hope that he will drive to watch our dogs here. We would 100% be ok with him spending multiple days in our home.”


3. Kourtney & Myles M.
“When it comes to animals, Kourtney has proven to be caring save responsible. She is a current owner of many dogs who are all well trained and well behaved, and is a very loyal and loving owner.”

I love to watch them act as goofballs, I have had pets since I was young, I listed 20 years but it's much longer than that. I have a german shepherd service dog that is 4 years old and a 18 week old plott hound I rescued. My kids have a cat named Binx, and a Gecko. I have taken care of cats several times with no problems. Can't wait to take care of your pets! Retired Volunteer Fire Chief/Medical Responder Coach Little Baseball and Basketball President Of Nonprofit for Veterans, 1st Responders, Nurses with mental illness. My schedule is very open. I do occasionally have dr appointments, and help take and pickup my kids from school. But I will work around that the best I can. I will come to your house and spoil your baby. Take them on leashed walks, bathe if needed and just spend good quality time with them.

“Aru looks forward to walking with Jeff every week! I would trust Jeff with any animal! So grateful to have found him! Would highly recommend!!”


7. Ashlen D.
“Ashlen is an excellent caregiver to my pets. She is very experienced with dogs and cats but also has been raised around farms and is familiar with outdoor animals as well. She regularly checks on my 11 month old puppy on days that I work. In addition to feeding and exercising, she works with him on commands that he learned from an obedience training program. She is responsible, always making sure he is in his kennel and the door is locked when she leaves. She keeps her appointments and is thorough in her care. Koda absolutely loves her and enjoys the attention she gives when she is checking on him. I highly recommend Ashlen as a pet caregiver.”


8. Gabriella E.
About: I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats and reptiles. I am experienced with puppies through to senior dogs. I understand all animals have a different set of needs. I am currently enrolled in college! Hoping to make some extra money by taking care of loving animals. I want all animals to be in a safe and caring environment! I always try to go above and beyond for my animals and others. It is our job to give them what they need since they are unable to speak for themselves.


9. Margaret B.
“I have known Maggie (Margaret) for many years. She is a loving and caring person who has an affinity for animals...especially dogs. She is patient, kind and attentive to the individual dogs and their owners needs and wants. She cares for every animal as if they are her own. Not only is she a good dog walker, sitter and playmate, but she is a great trainer as well. While not certified to train, she has been working extensively to become a trainer, as this is her passion and dream. I would HIGHLY recommend Margaret to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!!”


10. Destiny W.
“Destiny lives down the street from me and she watches my dog luna while I’m out of town or working a long shift. Luna absolutely loves her and she is great with her. She doesn’t just come and let her outside and feed her but she spends time playing with her and showing her some love while I’m not there. Destiny is very dependable and trustworthy. When I go out of town she will even stay the night at my house to make luna feel more comfortable. She is such a sweet animal lover.”


11. Cassy M.
“Cassy has years of experience caring for, watching, and training dogs. She has handled them up to 110lbs so far, and I would trust her any day to take care of my energetic German Shepherd!”

About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)


15. Jessica M.
“Jessica takes pet care and pet ownership very seriously. She knows what she is doing when it comes to caring for dogs and cats, from both experience and personal research. I would trust her with my pets well before anyone else that I know. Not only is she knowledgeable but she LOVES animals fiercely. When she’s around my pets she treats them like her own and loves them despite their bad habits or behaviors. She is kind and patient and understand, especially when it comes to animal care, and she’s stern when it counts. I would definitely recommend Jessica to watch your fur babies!”


16. Heather L.
About: Hello my name is Heather. I've been a vet-tech for the past 13 years. My last job was working in the surgery/emergency department at a specialty animal hospital. I absolutely loved my job! I've had two rescue dogs in my past recently had to put one down, so as of right now we currentlyhave no pets in my home. I'm well knowledgeable with medications and insulin if needed ect. I recently had a daughter and as most mother's we want to stay home with our children, I've decided to be a stay-at-home mom for now. But I absolutely miss working with furry babies. One of my friend's told me about this site! I'm looking forward to see what this site brings me! Thank you! 😊🐶❤


17. Alex L.
“Alex has a ton of experience caring for her own dogs and others as well. Back a few years ago, I had a Rover account and took in dozens of dogs during a period when my freelance work was sporadic. Alex actually did 90% of the work even though I was responsible for the results. Together, we earned a consistent 5-star reputation and enjoyed a lot of repeat business. (Look up Justin Lambert in Stony Point, NC) Since then, she's also studied and become adept as a dog trainer. Her own dog, Fezzik, is the smartest, most obedient dog we've ever owned.”


18. Brooklyn J.
“Brooklyn is a true dog lover! She loves my dog just like she does her own. She is dependable, responsible, loving, caring, and she is the only one I consider when I need a sitter or someone to just come by and let him out. She gets right on the floor and loves on him and he just wags all over. You will definitely be pleased. She's by far the best dog caregiver I have ever encountered and I give her the highest of recommendations!”


19. Sam E.

“Dependable, reliable, on-time. Very good service. Thanks Sam!”


20. Carly C.
“I would like to start off by saying my dog is my child! I have trusted Carly to watch my fur baby on multiple occasions. Whether I am going out for a few hours or for the weekend; I have never had to worry about the safety or well-being of my Ellie. Being around Carly, it is easy to see how much she truly loves animals, and I cant think of a better person to take care of my pup than her! Would recommend 10/10!!!”
