About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12. House sitting and dog walking were the first jobs I ever had. I have been around pets my life. I have owned all kinds of animals with many different needs. I have been through the puppy training stage and the old medical stage many of times with my own pets. I have also owned shelter dogs that have come from abusive backgrounds and helped them realize that not all humans are bad. I am confident in my ability to care for your pets no matter the stage of life or needs they may have. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and am available whenever needed. I am free weekdays and weekends. All you need to do is ask and we can work out the perfect schedule for you. I have a big fenced yard and two dogs that love new friends. I am very particular about my pets care and know that is nerve wracking to leave the care of your loved ones to a stranger. Any care instructions given will be followed to a tee and I would love to set up a meet and great to ensure everyone is comfortable before starting services.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little girl. I’m offering to play with, walk, and care for your pets when you are busy. Throughout our time together I will send thorough updates as well as photos. I also have experience volunteering at a humane society, working at a vets office, and working at a grooming salon so I understand dog behaviors and overall care. I am doing this part time during weekdays and select weekends as I am a full time college student. I will be available as needed, as long as I have a few days of warning. I currently have one beagle with high anxiety and look after five other dogs of different breeds and sizes at varying times. I am invested in insuring your pet is comfortable and happy while also following any restrictions or rules that you have set forth. Otherwise its belly scratches, snuggles, and play time galore!
About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love. My husband travels for work so we currently live in a large fifth wheel RV. We have one dog a 6yr old Great Dane. Also one calico cat about 8 months old .
“Megan & Jacob were great with communication and took extra care in making sure my Kyra was well loved on! They always stayed in touch to put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I've grown up caring for multiple breeds of dogs and some cats. I have adopted an older Lab Mix from a kill shelter and he is the sweetest, calm and loving dog. Large dogs are my specialty but I love smaller dogs as well. Caring for them comes natural, on top of giving them plenty of space to run and exercise. I am comfortable giving any dogs medications as I have experience giving my own the same. If there is any specification you'd like for dog boarding, I am more than positive those needs can be met. Walking dogs is an everyday activity I do to keep them mobile and active as well as myself! I just enjoy any type of companionship that comes with caring for dogs! I’m currently working from home which helps allow us to provide full time care for our animals, as well as yours! We’re able to be outside and play anytime throughout the day. We have a large fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and play outside. With cameras in the front and back yard that helps us keep a close eye on their movement to ensure safety.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for 5 years, my dog for 3, and pet-sat for 2 years consecutively! I’ve also had experience with giving medications and special foods! I’m currently a full-time student and work part time! I am available all day Sundays & Mondays, 10am-2pm weekdays, and occasionally nights (just message me!) I’m really flexible with my schedule! I have a pet (dog and cat) friendly black lab male (he is fixed) to keep your fur babies company! His name is Scout and he is 2 years old!
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was very young. I've pet sat for friends and family. I know how to care and entertain pets. I am a college student so I have plenty of free time. Since I am an animal lover caring for your pet will be a joy for me. I will make sure your pets are properly fed and watered. I will play endlessly with high energy pets but allow them rest if they're low energy. I will make sure they crated or let outside when necessary.
“William and his wife were excellent with our cats! They always sent great pictures, which gave us peace of mind while away. We will happily book again!”
About: I have had animals all my life (fish, birds, cats, dogs, a rabbit) I currently have 1 cat and 1 American bully and a few chickens as well. The American bully, cash, goes back and forth between staying with me and my mom to so he is not always home. I recently had my second child so I am trying to be more active with working out and walking but also wouldn’t mind a lazy animal, either lol. I have never professionally taken care of animals but I would love to give it a try so here I am. I have house sat for my brother and taken care of his dogs ( a Rottweiler, and two bullies) I work M-F but I work from home so I am always around and available if needed, I can step away easily if it’s needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dog does pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.
“My pups and I loved having Micaela stop in and play with them. She genuinely loves taking care of furbabies and went above & beyond my expectations in her communication with me, from the moment we confirmed booking until her last check in. I had never used Rover prior to this weekend and know that I can trust Micaela with my babies in the future. 5 stars, absolutely recommend her.”
About: Over the past five years, my journey as a pet owner has been a heartwarming and fulfilling experience. Welcoming a loyal canine companion into my life has not only brought joy but also taught me valuable lessons in patience, responsibility, and unwavering love. From adventurous walks in the park to cozy evenings by the fireplace, our bond has grown stronger with each passing day. I've learned to anticipate their needs, share in their happiness, and comfort them during moments of distress. Through the ups and downs, my four-legged friend has become an integral part of my life, enriching it with an abundance of unconditional love and boundless affection. Despite maintaining a full-time work schedule, I am able to offer pet-sitting services due to my flexible work hours and the ability to customize my availability. This flexibility allows me to accommodate pet owners' needs by arranging my work tasks around pet-sitting commitments, ensuring the well-being and care of their beloved animals without compromising my work responsibilities. Additionally, my dedication and passion for animals motivate me to manage my time efficiently, making it possible to balance both commitments effectively. To excel at pet-sitting in my home with a yard and a friendly dog, I prioritize safety, comfort, and companionship. My first step is a thorough introduction between the visiting pet and my own dog in a controlled, neutral space to ensure compatibility. Throughout their stay, I closely supervise their interactions, maintaining a separate area if necessary. Each pet has its own dedicated food and water bowls, and I adhere strictly to the owner's feeding and medication instructions. Playtime and exercise in my secure yard are integral to their routine, promoting mental and physical well-being. My commitment to cleanliness and safety ensures a hygienic environment, and I maintain open communication with pet owners, sharing updates and addressing their needs promptly. Ultimately, my goal is to create a loving, harmonious atmosphere where pets thrive and enjoy their stay.
“My cats loved her. Even the little scaredy cat one. Sent plenty of “ proof of life” pics. Too. Definitely use her again.”
About: If you are in the hospital or otherwise unavailable due to coronavirus, I am available to take care of your dogs I grew up around dogs. I volunteered with my aunt that rescued dogs until I could get my own. My Aunt has about 10-15 dogs on average at a time and the rescue organization had close to 50 dogs at a time I was volunteering there. I had 2 Wheaten Terrier mixes rescues one 16 years and another 12 years old. I often house sit for my grandparents who have an Airedale Terrier. I also have experience working with dogs in the military. I love working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am trying out this service to walk some dogs, do some feedings and let outs for bathroom brakes while you're away, but mostly I love dogs. I have experience with dogs with cataracts, arthritis, and incontinence and I have experience working with other dogs with disabilities. I'd be willing to have dogs in my car. I am flexible with your dogs' training requirements.
“Fantastic experience. All went as planned, and my dog loved Jim. You can tell he cares.”
“Great job!”
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals since I was 5. I grew up on a farm with all animals of all sizes and personalities, 15 of which were dogs that we rescued and loved. My responsibilities of feeding, grooming, training, keeping them healthy, and loving them were a pleasure and never a chore. I’m an EMT with a total of 4 days off every week, including weekends- meaning plenty of time to help take care of your fur-babies. I will always treat your home and fur-babies with care and respect. They will have my undivided attention and all needs will be met with love.
About: I have been working with animals since I was 10. I have experience with dogs, cats, and fish. I am willing to work with other pets as needed as long as clear instructions are provided I am a kindergarten teacher, so I am free for most of the summer and I am bored. During the school year I am available on weekends. At my own house, my puppy is taken outside every 2-3 hours and is fed 2x a day. He is crate trained for when I am at work and in situations where it is necessary. I have 2 cats who get fed 2x a day, a litter scoop 1x a day, and a litter change 1x a month. The three animals share water from a filter pump bowl.
About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.

She spends quality time with both, takes them walking, and loves on them as if they were her own. She ensures they are fed at the appropriate times (they know when it’s feeding time…lol). She makes sure they have fresh water throughout the day. She has even bathed our Frenchie. Having her care for your furbaby, makes you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
