About: I have done dog sitting for multiple different families, including overnight care for a family with two dogs, one medium and one large. Since moving to college and the passing of my childhood lab, I’ve been missing having a dog around and would love to hang out with some + make extra cash. I am a full time college student and I am a reliable dog person. I go for walks all the time and would love for your furry friend to join! I am pretty available from Friday to Monday. I have 2 in person classes and one in person internship, and then i have one online class and one online internship. So I don’t have many in-person obligations on those days. I can tend to the owners preferences for how they want their pet to be looked after, whether that be crating, leashed walks, letting out, etc. I live in a pretty small apartment but we’ve had dogs stay here before, I would prefer to provide services at the dogs home however. I am also willing to discuss extra house chores if needed!

“Jaclyn was on time and was definitely a animal l9ver! She referred to our Coop as Bear from Bear in The Big Blue House (a show I just introduced to my granddaughter) so I knew she was perfect to hang out with our pups! Our pups are A LOT - we have three and they each want ALL the attention! She sent pics and updates which we loved! Our cameras took a pic of Jacyln sitting on the couch, Molly tucked in close, while Jacyln was reading our laminated "book of guidance" for our crews care - it's about 5 pages 😀. The dogs were well cared for and happy when we arrived back home! Huge thanks to Jaclyn! Would recommend her to all who need loving trusted pet care!”

“Monica was a great sitter for my yorkie-mix. She stayed overnight with Bella in both our home and hers. Bella was very happy when we returned from a 1 week vacation. We would definitely book with Monica again. ”

“I was so happy to find Jillian, as a sitter myself I have high standards and Jillian stepped up to the task. She followed all instructions left and sent detailed updates each day. Definitely felt at ease while I was on my trip, I came home to happy pups and a clean doggie room!! Highly recommend Jillian!!!”

About: I love hosting dogs at my Airbnb. Perhaps because of my good, calm energy with pets. No matter how old, big or small , they love me! They are often quickly accepting of my presence. I lost my charming standard poodle named Skeeter 2 yrs ago to cancer, so I miss giving my love to them. I am always looking forward to walks, drives & hikes and it would be nice to have a companion while doing so. I grew up owning an energetic black lab, silly golden retriever and dainty white shepherd. In my adult life I had two Dobermans and a standard poodle. My childhood home always had a pet or a dog - the dog always went to work on construction with my dad! I work part time and have plenty of time to love your pets. My schedule is flexible thru out the year. I often travel with my Trusted house sitter app. We have a large private yard far from the road for pets to enjoy wandering about sniffing for rodents among the blueberry bushes and grassy knolls.
“Eliot does drop-in visits with our two wild hound dogs on their long home alone days and is literally the best!! Reliable, punctual, and professional. The dogs are always relaxed when we get home, and even our nervous coonhound feels comfortable enough with Eliot to eat her lunch when she’s there. We get cute photos and a summary of how the visit went each day. Eliot even caught one of our goats who had escaped and put him back in his pen safely. Highly recommend!”

About: I know dogs need exercise, discipline, and affection. I know it can be challenging to find the right pet care that is trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to give your pet the care they need! I am a massage therapist for part of the week and I homeschool my children when I’m not working. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have extra time to fill here and there with pet care. I will feed, walk, or give your animals attention based on clients request and animals requirements. Whether it’s In the yard, taking them for a walk or just sitting petting them, I’ll give them what they need.
“Ricky is so great. We needed some longer check-ins for our puppy, with pretty short notice, and he made it happen. It's obvious that he's great with dogs, and from his Rover reports and the pup's behavior when I got home from work, it was clear Ricky spent some good time and energy with him. We'd happily use Ricky again!”
