About: There have been very few times in my life that I didn't have a pet! My husband and I currently have a small farm of 3 dogs, 1 turtle, 1 rabbit, chickens, pheasants, and pigeons! I have experience in hand feeding baby birds, cats, and dogs. I've also had or taken care of rodents and some reptiles. I love all ages of animals from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I know how difficult it can be to find someone responsible and trustworthy enough to take care of your animals, especially the more exotic type, and would love the opportunity to be included in your pets lives! I work from home and am able to set my own schedule. I have an SUV with plenty of room for larger animals, if transportation is needed. I have almost 2 acres of unfenced yard. My 3 dogs are on a wired pet containment system. I have a sunroom inside my home where I house inside pets, which can be a free roaming area for your pet or where we can place their kennel/crate. For client house visits, I will follow the instructions laid out by the client.

About: I’ve had my own pets since I was 6. I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters , and currently have chickens, ducks, and 3 cats. I have cared for pets off and on over the years for friends and family and have about 20+ years experience! I am a stay at home mom to my 3 kids. My kids love pets and would enjoy playing/helping as long as you are comfortable with this, but also I completely understand if someone is not comfortable with this. I have some flexibility throughout my days that I can care for your pet(s). Aside from caring for my kids and our own pets, I would love to help take care of your fur-baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have a large yard and are very far away from the road and on our road is not very busy, we do have neighbors with lots of pets and they have handled this area/property well - hopefully that helps. I would prefer to visit your home to care for your pets, but my home is also an option.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I started working with dogs when I was seventeen years old. I started as a dog bather then worked at The Barkley (a pet hotel and day spa in Los Angeles) as a dog day camp associate which entailed being around dogs all day every day, supervising their play, potty breaks, lunches, etc. I received training certifications in dog handling and was then promoted to a dog trainer at that facility. In 2019, I began working at Karma Dog Training as a Dog Behavioral Specialist and Board and Train Director and still currently work for them doing private training sessions, board and trains, and boarding (without training) programs and am now looking to do a bit of dog walking and sitting on the side. I have always grown up with dogs and currently have one of my own. I'm available every day of the week. I just need a few days in advance to make sure I don’t schedule any training during that time. I love and care for all dogs as if they are my own. I can take your dog(s) on at least three walks a day unless they need more or seem like they want to go on more walks or just go outside and play. I have a private dog park just feet from where I live so I can take them there any time. They are also allowed on the furniture and to sleep on the bed if they like with your approval. I currently make my own schedule for the company I work for so as long as I have a few days notice, I can make any days work! I care for each dog as if they are my own. I also have eight years of experience with dogs so I know what they need and how to read their body language to assess their needs. I have one of my own dogs so your dog will never be without another canine companion. I also work from home and make my own schedule so I can attend to your dog 24/7. We will go for multiple walks a day as well as get playtime in and have relaxing breaks when needed. Or if your dog is more of a laid back cuddler, we can spend the majority of the day with tons of pets and cuddles!

“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her again!”

About: For boarding and doggy daycare, dogs must be up to date on the following vaccinations: rabies, DHPP (or some version of it), and Bordatella, which is for kennel cough. I am licensed through Department of Agriculture and have dogs coming and going all of the time, so this is to protect all dogs who come in, and if other sitters do not ask about vaccinations, it is probably because the safety of your dogs or other dogs is not a top priority. My passion and full-time job is taking care of dogs! I am licensed and insured in addition to Rover because I have dedicated myselt to giving attentive care and keeping your pets safe. I have 800 sq. ft. (40'x20') fenced dog park just for letting the dogs out to play, and I spend all day with dogs who stay in my care, whether I am in the dog park outside or my inside. Dogs are treated as family and protected as such. Even inside I have tons of toys to stimulate your dog. I give treats if approved by you and/or you can bring your own. It's really more of a vacation for your dog. I walk them around my 4 acre property. I have a lake in the backyard that with your permission your furry friend can play in the lake. Whether it is doggy daycare or boarding, the dogs are tired when they leave and many dogs do not want to leave, honestly. The dogs are supervised 100% of the time, and you can trust that your dog is getting the star treatment. I send a lot of photos and give updates daily. You are not just leaving your precious pet with someone who does this as a hobby. You are leaving your best friend to someone with lots of experience and can read dog body language, which keeps your dog safe. I also know dog CPR and can give medicine. I follow all instructions to the letter, and I am dependable. I have never had to cancel a dog's stay. I also have dog training experience. I have taken my dog to Manners 101 and CGC and then taught all my dogs at home as well as other dogs in my care. Lastly, I have the skills to deal with dog aggressive dogs who may not do well with other dogs. I have first-hand experience keeping dogs apart safely in a separate room. I am very thorough at keeping doors shut, getting in and out of doors without the dog escaping, and only taking the dog out when it is safe, meaning all of dogs are secure. If a dog is aggressive toward other dogs, I can only accept if I have my private suite (bedroom) available because of the privacy needed because an aggressive dog will need to be in the suite the majority of the time, but I do make time to hang out in the main house one on one with the dog when all others are resting in their crates or being watched by my partner in another room. When I pet sit, I keep your house pristine, and you can count on me to be there if we schedule a visit or pet sit. I am dependable, trustworthy, and responsible. I like to keep animals in their regular routine while you are away. For dogs, that means regular walks, runs, whatever they are used to doing with you is what I want to give them while you are away. I give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I also check the mail, bring in packages, water plants and gardens, and shut on/off lights if requested. I am a non-smoker with a clean background who is drug free (former teacher). Meet and greets are available and free. Dog care is my full-time job! I was a high school English teacher, and I quit to start my own dog care business because I wanted to give attentive care and create fun times and adventures with dogs. I am available 24/7 for your pet care needs. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or want to do a meet and greet. Meet and greets are recommended and free! I want to give you a tour and for you to know where your dog will stay. I will gladly show you the accomodations and meet with you, so you can have confidence leaving your pup. 🩵Supervised 100% of the time 🩵Boarded dogs are out of the crate and with me 90% of the time 🩵Dogs are on leash when walked 100% of the time 🩵 Dogs are up-to-date on their shots: Rabies, DHPP (or variation), and Bordatella (kennel cough) 🩵 Dogs get only approved treats by you 🩵 Pet CPR and first aid certified 🩵 Lots of love and attention!

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs

About: With over a year of pet-sitting experience, I have cared for dogs ranging from playful puppies under the age of one to more mature dogs up to seven years old. I am also a proud owner of a one-year-old German Shepherd and a one-year-old Frenchie, so I understand the needs and personalities of different breeds. Whether it's providing companionship, playtime, or ensuring a comforting and safe environment, I am dedicated to giving your furry friends the love and attention they deserve. As a full-time work-from-home pet sitter, I start each day with a morning walk and breakfast for the pets, followed by some playtime to keep them active and happy. Throughout the day, I balance my work with regular check-ins, including a midday walk and play session to break up their day. In the evening, we enjoy another walk, dinner, and more play or cuddle time. Before bed, I ensure they have a final potty break and are comfortable for the night. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care and attention to keep your pets healthy and content. As a dedicated pet sitter, I ensure that your furry friend receives attentive and loving care. I have two friendly pups of my own, so your pet will have built-in playmates for socialization. My home is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, which means there’s very little traffic and a peaceful environment for your pet. I have a small, secure gate set up in the backyard, providing a safe area for potty breaks and playtime. Your pet will have plenty of space to run around, play, and relax, ensuring they feel comfortable and right at home.
14. Susie B.
“This was a meet and greet visit in preparation for an upcoming drop-in. Susie arrived on time, both dogs took right to her, and we discussed their personalities, routines and needs. I feel very confident that her upcoming visit will go very well.”
15. Sarah B.
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She is very communicative, and punctual. I will be rebooking with her for our next vacation!”
16. Kayla E.
“Kayla was fantastic. She watched our three dogs and was timely, polite and communicated very effectively. She provided great updates and pics of our dogs. She overcame an obstacle I accidentally created by giving her the wrong street address of the Airbnb and was very pleasant in doing so. The dogs were very well taken care of when we returned. We will definitely try and book Kayla on our next visit.”
17. Breanna L.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life since I was a little kid! This includes training, taking care of, feeding, walking, and most importantly loving! I currently only am working part time so I am available a large majority of the day! More time to love your on your pup! I can easily crate your dog, or allow your dog to sleep in the bed with me! Whatever your preference is I can completely accommodate! Your dog can roam freely during the day or stay in a crate.
18. Tony G.
“Tony is by nature a goodhearted person and animals can pick up on that. He loves dogs and dogs (being excellent judges of character) love him. He is cool, calm and affable. He is dependable and honest as the day is long.”
19. Sara T.
“Sara is unbelievable with my dogs! She takes great care of them by walking them, feeding them, and playing with them! She’s very much of an animal lover and she takes time out of her day to make sure they have all of there needs taken care of! Highly recommend her to help with any of the dog needs!”
20. Gabriella G.
“We love Gabby! She goes above and beyond in taking care of our dog. She’s great at following instructions and has given Griffen his medication and extra care when needed. She pays attention to detail and we highly recommend her. Griffen has really taken to her, and when we first met Gabby we knew she would be a great fit our family. Her experience with animal care really shows and her background as a Vet tech gives us extra assurance that our Griff is in good hands.”
