About: From terrier temperaments to retriever antics; high prey drive; fear aggression or strong willed; I have the knowledge to care and work with your dog or equine/ livestock. Can handle puppies to geriatrics. Able to play/reward puppies to gentle care for elders. If I pet sit for you, I ensure your dog is walked and played with to release energy as well as taking care of your home; collecting mail/ packages and keeping everything tidy! FYI, I don’t walk 2 large dogs at once- only 1 at a time. Also, rover doesn’t allow me to differentiate service radius between house sitting and drop-ins; hence, if a drop-in request is beyond 13 miles, the mileage and gas isn’t compensated by my drop-in fee. I showed AKC confirmation from 1994-2014; managed a 50-dog kennel in the 90s; and also have 13 years as a legal secretary. In my youth, I showed horses and French lop rabbits. I showed, trained and bred top winning American Stafforshire Terriers and Chesapeake bay retrievers. I did 22 AKC champions. Available days and/or nights. I am retired and have time available. Happy to pop in for check ups, walks, feeding as well as spending nights and taking care of your home. I care for any pet in accordance to the guardians exact wishes. I’m experienced to know when an animal is unhappy, ill, needs to potty/rest/bored-play. My world revolves around making animals happy content

About: I have a few dogs at my house already but I've also been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at rescues. My family also has many pets and farm animals I help take care of these include fish, hamsters, and budgies. I'm currently in college right now studying life science but I have plenty of free time. During that time I'd like to take care of animals. I like to take care of your pets however you like them taken care of. I'll wake up early for morning walks or stay up late to clean up after them.

“When I needed someone to walk my dog and feed him dinner on short notice, Jeffrey quickly responded to my request and confirmed their availability to help. He was friendly, easy to work with, and asked questions about my dog to ensure he would have a good experience. He shared a picture of our happy pup during his walk despite the rainy weather and asked where he could find a towel to dry him off before letting him back into the house. I'll definitely ask Jeffrey & Megan J. to care for our dog the next time he needs a walk or boarding. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for both my own dogs and cats as well as those of friends and family. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra care, I’ve gained hands on experience adapting to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s managing medication, keeping up with playtime, or offering quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and thoughtful care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the year, and I sometimes travel in and out of town depending on the season. That said, I’m fully committed to pet care outside of my studies and offer a lot of flexibility to fit your pet’s needs. When I’m available, I prioritize consistent, reliable visits and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I have two cats and two dogs of my own, all with different ages and personalities. One of my cats has a medical condition that I’ve cared for and medicated, which has taught me how to spot potential health issues and respond quickly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and maintain clear communication with owners so you can trust your pet is in capable, caring hands.

I know the basics (feeding, cleaning up after them, washing them, playing with them, etc.) and I also am very good at connecting with animals. Each animal has its own personality and I believe that if you treat an animal with care, they will return the love. I work remote full time, so I have time to spend with your furry friend! My mornings and evenings are free with flexibility in the middle of the day. On the day-to-day, we would take a morning and evening walk, and I would be able to take them out for potty breaks whenever needed.

Ethel S.
“Ethel is our neighbor, a quiet and responsible woman with sound advice and a huge heart. She watched over our senior dog, Tiberius, most days while we were at work, and overnight occasionally. She tended carefully to his needs, as he was paralyzed in his later years, and mostly blind. She studied his condition and always asked questions when she was unsure of what we would prefer, sending us updates every few hours when we were out of town on vacation. She ensured he always felt safe, comfortable and content. Ethel was right there with us the night Tiberius passed away; I thank God for the comfort she's given us all. Ethel is a perfect sitter, and a member of our family.”
