“Betty took great care of our dog Henry! Very professional and communicative when we talked. She was proactive about checking if Henry was comfortable walking in the rain, clearly thinking of his best interests. We’d definitely book again!”
About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.
About: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have cared for pets my entire life. I currently have two cats and have had several dogs over the years, including my soulmate dog who passed about a year and a half ago. I often pet sit for friends when they go out of town and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m in nursing school, but it’s summertime, so no classes! I currently work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of opportunities to care for your pet! I’ll take care of your pets as if they’re my own, and I’ll follow all directions to the fullest! I understand the stress of going out of town or leaving your pets alone for extended periods of time, and I can help!
“Angela did a great job on multiple visits with my 2 dogs, both large breed, one pup and one adult. She is clearly a skilled and confident walker and caretaker. She was responsive and thorough with communications and completely reliable. I hope to use her again in the future.”

“Madason did a great job taking care of my boy! He’s very active and she took him on like a champ. She’s smart and remembered everything we talked about. Her vet tech skills are a blessing too! Highly recommend!”

I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know. Each confirmed booking comes with free photos of your fur baby while they are on their adventure!! I have three dogs of my own: Diesel, Callie and Benny. I have owned/been around animals my whole life, and have an extreme passion for animal care. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! Thank you for trusting me with your fur-baby… I promise they are in good hands :) Currently available 24/7: Monday - Friday. 8:30am-6pm. Open to weekends! Holidays as well.

About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old. Most of the family animals have had health issues that has taught me how to administer medication, give baths, clip nails, and more. Cat and dog friendly! I am available everyday of the week except Sunday 11am-11pm! I can also stay in home over nights upon request. Sundays reserved for sittings only. I currently have two cats who are very shy so I do not offer over night stays in my own home. However, I am more than happy to do over nights in the clients home. I have experience administering medicine by pill & injection. I also have experience in nail clipping & bathing of both dogs and cats. I love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!

About: I’ve been a devoted pet owner since I was five years old, giving me over two decades of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and even a bird I raised for 13 years. What sets me apart is this lifelong multi-species expertise; I’m just as comfortable managing the high energy of a young puppy as I am providing the gentle, attentive monitoring required for senior pets. I pride myself on being a detail-oriented caregiver who understands the subtle body language of animals, ensuring your pets stay safe, socialized, and perfectly on their routine while you’re away I’m currently unemployed but a full time student at SNHU, wanting a side hustle in the meantime of looking for a full time job. I’m in an apartment complex so bringing animals to myself may not be the best idea if your animal isn’t friendly with other dogs. As there are plenty of people walking their dogs at any given moment throughout the day.
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

About: Please do not use Rovers time frame feature to put in drop off / pick up info. I do not use it. I will not honor times put into this feature on Rover if you use it. See more info below. I have been a dog owner all my life. I have worked in an adoption center, participated in foster / adopt transportations, and have fostered. I have never been able to leave my furry friend with a boarding service for fear that something would happen or he would get lonely. So I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust to take care of him/her until you return. Your pet will be part of our family. I've never been restrictive to my pets so yours will be allowed as much freedom as you would like him/her to have. **Please note: I do NOT go by the time frames that Rover gives you. I have no way of showing my availability for each day, so when you put those in they may not match my actual availability. I will NOT honor those times since I have no control over them. Please make sure we finalize drop off times BEFORE booking a stay with me. I'm happy to work with you while I can for drop-offs and pickups, but there might be times when my schedule is not going to allow me to be as flexible. Right now I'm not currently accepting pick ups or drop offs on Thursday evenings after 5 pm or Sunday mornings. My husband and I are both active with our church and those times are dedicated to that. I'm also closed for drop offs and pick ups on Saturdays all day. While I have guests in my care during that time, it's my one day "off" each week to not be tethered to my house. I do have two children, an ten-year-old and a seven-year-old. Both are used to being around dogs, but for the safety of all involved, I require a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. Please see additional information about meet and greets below. When we leave the house, I will never leave your pets mixed with other pets. I'm happy to crate your dog if that's what they are used to or they will be given their own room while we're away. I will never leave your dog mixed unsupervised with my dog or other dogs I'm watching. Everyone's safety is my first priority. I can provide my cell so you can get in contact with me at any time. I also provide pictures/videos via text. I'm working on doing better to show them on Rover. One of the things I will tell you from the get go is my house gets a little crazy sometimes. I do my best to provide updates once a day while you're away. I also tell my clients to message me if they haven't heard from me and would like an update. I do my best to be responsive in a timely manner. However, I also expect my clients to understand that I do have a life outside of pet sitting and sometimes that life gets in the way of my being able to respond right away. Please show a little grace when asking for updates on your pet. We love them like our own so they just join in our family life which doesn't always include having my phone glued to my side. I'm a homemaker and homeschool mom. I am around a lot of the time and there is plenty of outside time for my guests. The reason my schedule may look blocked off is because of the time required for my guests, my kiddos, and my job. My husband also works from home full time now. He does assist with the pups sometimes but I do not rely on him for meet and greets, drop offs or pick ups. Crates are not required, but if your dog is used to being crated I can provide for that. I will also crate a dog if they are found to be destructive or are untrustworthy when we are out of the house. I also will not keep dogs that are food aggressive. I separate everyone to feed them because I understand the nature of most dogs is to be protective of food. However, if a dog shows aggression towards another dog when food is present or while we're in the kitchen around people food, that is not something I am comfortable with for safety reasons. We homeschool and I work from home so we're home a lot of the time. With that said, we do have lives and go places. I try to be as accommodating as possible, but please keep this in mind. Your pup will be integrated into our household with my own. We're in and out a lot so potty breaks and playtime naturally happen throughout the day. I provide overnight services out of my home as well as doggy day care. We have a fully fenced yard with an automatic locking gate to keep people from opening it when they come for pickup. When you come to my house, you'll park in my driveway and then enter through a double set of people gates to your left.
About: Rover has been such a great experience, getting to know different families and different breeds of dogs. It’s so much fun!!! I took some time off when we moved to Tennessee but I’m ready to meet some new fur friends. I have 2 of my own and love to see all the different personalities of each animal.
