“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Elizabeth was. Not only is she very experienced with dogs, but her personality is so warm and kind. She helped us out for our wedding weekend by watching our 3 dogs. We had the dogs in our wedding ceremony, so Elizabeth picked them up from the venue (her vehicle was even equipped with fans and a comfortable back seat for them), brought them back to our Airbnb and stayed over night with them! She made sure they were walked, fed, and snuggled and gave us the greatest peace of mind while we celebrated our wedding. If you want a dog sitter that will go above and beyond, book Elizabeth!!! Thank you again Elizabeth!!!”

About: Large breeds (up to 125 lbs), excitable pups, and senior babies are my jam. I am no stranger to the needs and delicacies of aging or anxious dogs. I have experience with those motivated by food, aim to support any existing training, and delight in taking time to stop for lots of sniffs on walks! Whether you’re in a pinch and need a little extra support only now and again or you're looking to expand your pet’s regular care routine, I look forward to providing expert belly rubs and exploring with your pup! I am familiar and comfortable with introductions and building trust (re: rescue dogs), supporting/maintaining any obedience training, and understand that patience is critical throughout the process.
“Ariana has been super helpful. One of my pets had just had a minor surgery and needed eye drops. She asked for a video to make sure she was administering correctly. She is very prompt with communication.”

“Richard went above and beyond to ensure that our first dog sitting experience was a safe and enjoyable one for our young " doodle"- DOOLEY. He also kept us appraised of Dooley's status during the extended stay, giving us piece of mind We recommend Richard for his pet services and anticipate utilizing hiim again for care of our pets.”

“Mackenzie is an intelligent and compassionate young lady. Very easy to talk with and one who understands the task at hand. We had a death in the family and an immediate need for help with our pets. She went above and beyond sending us pictures of our pets and little notes while we were away putting us at ease. We will gladly hire her in the future.”

About: I have LOVED dogs since childhood but I am an animal person in general! I have been a registered nurse since 2014 and started travel nursing in 2021. My nursing experience includes ICU (neurology), trauma, and gastroenterology. I am a Certified Gastroenterology Registered Nurse (CGRN) and prior personal trainer. My work has taken me from Oregon to Massachusetts, living in many different types of homes/situations/environments. With each assignment I am required to be drug screened and background checked. I have lived with big and small doggos and I am always sad to leave because of the bonds I form with the animals and their families. I have lived with chihuahuas that were quite timid but after time and love, we grew to be friends! My landlord was even comfortable with vacationing to Italy for 2 weeks while I stayed and helped look after the boys (and kitty Archie!). The last home, I lived with 2 Shepard mixes. One of the pups was nervous/unsure due to some trauma in his past. Overtime, with love, patience and plenty of treats Bambi became my friend and I was able to take both dogs on walks in the neighborhood. Many of the pictures in my profile are of the dogs I have had the pleasure to live with while I am traveling. I just finished a travel nursing assignment in MA and I am taking a break from nursing so I have plenty of spare time to dedicate to caring for others' furry kids. I am working on starting my own business so flexibility is key for me at this stage of my life! I have an older lab at home (don't be fooled, he still acts like a pup, full of energy!) and 2 cats. Our lab is trained and stays in our yard and 1 of our cats is free to roam (and hunt outside) while the other kitty stays inside. Both were strays that became our family! For your home, a proper meet and greet is ideal. A facetime works too to understand the inner workings of your unique home and any quirks to be aware of to keep the animals safe. However, I'd prefer your dog to get to know me in person, get all their sniffs in and be comfortable around me. Understanding their needs, likes/dislikes and favorite toys/pets/walking trails is much better in person!
“We are so glad we found such a nice place for our anxious old dog to stay when we have to go out of town. Hanna accommodated all of our dog's needs. We'll definitely use Hanna again.”

“Above and beyond. Shauna is amazing and I have a whole menagerie of animals. I only asked her to take care of my dogs but she took care of everyone! I I'm so thrilled that I found Shauns through Rover. She is a blessing.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from big to small. Friends and family have frequently called on me to watch and love their pets while they are out of town- and I don’t know who enjoys it more- the fur folks or me! I also volunteer with a farm animal sanctuary and have a lot of farming experience with a larger diversity of animals. I do work full time, but I have fairly flexible hours and work remotely at times. My primary times of availability would be in the mornings before 10 am and after 5pm until bedtime. I will assess the pet’s or pets’ needs and figure out a schedule that will work best for them to ensure seem-less care and stress reduction while their owners are away. I give love very freely and love a good snuggle! I want to make your fur kids feel as happy as possible while you’re away.
About: I've worked with all different kinds of animals, from domestic cats an dogs to guinea pigs,rabbits,lizards, etc. Family an friends have relied on me to walk, feed & bathe their pets. Along with grooming, nail trimming, etc. I work at a veterinary clinic with that being said I am available on weekdays anytime after 5:00pm and weekends anytime. Pet care fits my schedule great its what I was born to do working with animals. I have a huge yard to run around in with your critter, along with 1 dachshund to keep you oets company. If your pet needs to be crated or have medication, etc. I have plenty of room an chalk boards to remind of times for feeding an medication if needed. I currently work at a veterinary office. So pet care works into my routine on a daily. I have 1 dog of my own that I care for and make sure he is updated on shots, etc. I am able to pretty much do alot of things for pets, like nail trims, give medications if need be, alone with just walking the dogs etc. I care for animals anyways youd like your pretty to be cared for, if you pet needs medication, or certain play times etc. I'm more then happy to do so, I feel walking or having that one on one time with the pets is very important.
“Sarah took great care of my dog and gave her exercise every day. I liked receiving photos while I was away to see my dog looked happy. I was able to enjoy being away knowing my house and dog were in good hands. I'll definitely re-book with Sarah in the future.”

“Cody was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. His communication was excellent. He provided daily pictures of our two dogs which was very comforting to us. We have already requested him for another house sitting need that we have coming up. Tim”
