“Charity was awesome. My pups loved her and their daily walks. She was in constant communication and updated us with pictures. This was my first Rover experience. It was so nice to know that while away, my pups were still being taken care of. I highly recommend Charity!!!”
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was born, and have raised and cared for them since I was old enough to help. I have done drop-ins, pet sitting, dog-walking, and even dog massage for friends and family for years. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and even a few chickens, too! Others would argue I love animals more than people (they may be right about that, ha!) I am a retired massage therapist and self-published author with time on my hands (pun absolutely intended). Between writing chapters (or bouts of writer's block) I am open for pet care most of the day until the evening, with some night time hours available upon request :) I am clean, compassionate, and considerate. I leave my clients' homes just as I found them - unless the pet has had an accident in which case I'll clean that up before leaving :) I am happy to love on my clients' pets as if they were my own, and take caring for them very seriously.
About: Hi! I worked at a local vet office for 2 years helping with boarding, care while in room, walking dogs and providing love and care. I have also owned a dog or dogs since I was 10. I adore animals and will treat your family’s sweet pet as my own. I currently work from home and have flexible availability to come and go to better assist families. I am available at all hours that are needed. My current pet, Jack, is walked multiple times daily. We only crate when we leave. I am offering dog walking services. I am aware on how to safely walk dogs in their familiar areas. I am aware of how to harness and walk dogs of all sizes and safely return to the home. If the family has preferences for crating or putting away in certain rooms, I will follow directives on how properly place your loved animal away safely until you return home.
About: Since childhood, I've had dogs, cats, fish and snakes. In the past 10 years, we have 5 dogs in the family. I have taken care of friend's pets as well (dogs and bunny). I take pride in trying to understand all their different personalities and letting them be their true selves. Seeing a true smile on a dogs face, while they're doing zoomies or running through the backyard, brings me so much joy <3 I am open to dog walks and house visits currently. My availability is mostly weekdays, but I am open to the occasional evening, weekend or overnight. I will be sure your pets are safe and happy, with full water bowls, and fed/given medication on their schedule. (We have several seniors that need medication on a schedule, so I fully understand the importance of that). I am happy to play with your pets in your yard (after I check the gate is secure), or in the house. I also provide plenty of attention in the way of pets and snuggles :)
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently own two of my own! I have cared for many pups and understand that each one is special and different in their own way. I can’t wait to care for your bestie :) My “day” job is 3 days a week, very flexible, and mostly night shift. I am able to work around your schedule and needs; often last minute as well. I will respect any and all boundaries you have set for your pup and home. I am comfortable with long walks or a simple backyard play if needed. I will always adhere to your pups schedule and needs :)
“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!
About: I have taken care of animal’s since as long as I remember! I have always grown up around dogs and cats. I currently have 2 doggies and 3 cats! I’m currently working full time as a registered nurse, but have 4 days off a week to love on your animals! I do not have a set schedule every week, but will try to mark that on my calendar accordingly! I am able to walk your dogs or even cats if that’s what they enjoy! If long walks isnt ideal, we can play inside! Whatever you need for your animal!

About: I’ve been caretaking for all types of animals for over 15 years.

As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks!

I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs. I have a large yard & many spare 15-20ft leashes to keep your pet safe while providing quality playtime. I also have a dog to help keep your fur baby company while in my care! Your dog can hang out with us in my home, or upon your request I can crate your fur baby & take them out for as many walks/potty/play breaks as you’d like.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Between neighbors, family, and friends. I feed, bathe, walk, and play with them as much as I can I currently do not work full time or part time. I stay home with my two year old and enjoy every day of it just need a change. My yard is not fenced but we live on 2.5 acres. I have a friendly dog that could keep your fur baby company or be separated, whatever makes you comfortable.
About: I have experience with positively training and managing reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I train my own two dogs in IGP competitively. I am an enthusiast when is comes to canine health physically and mentally. Friends with national level sport dogs trust me to watch their dogs for extended periods of time in their home and mine as well. I recently graduated college and have not started a full time career yet. I currently dedicate all my time to training and caring for dogs, and working part-time for the Fish and Boat commission. One weekend a month I drill with the Army National Guard. I leash walk my dogs daily and have a beautiful trail through Penn State Agricultural fields right behind my house. My own dogs are crated when I leave the house and at periods of time during the day. My two dogs are neutral to visiting dogs but will not interact with your pup due to my own training regiment and competitive goals I have set with them. I will be happy to provide a crate for your dog if you wish as well. My male and female are both intact so please inform me if you are planning to board a female in heat.

Hook never liked getting his nails trimmed, Maddie came over and trimmed his nails a few times and now he is no longer afraid and sits nice.

Recommend her to all my family and friends!”
