“It’s hard for me to trust someone else with my dogs but I’m so glad I choose Rileigh!! My dogs are a bit choosy about who they trust, but they warmed up to her pretty quickly! She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and notes, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone I can trust completely with their care. I’ve already booked her again and plan to rely on her whenever I need help. Highly recommend! 😊”
About: I have had animals in my home since I was a little kid. I have been known to be a frequent dog watcher for many years. I go into others homes and have house/dog sat for many years and enjoy every bit! I have done old, new and all inbetween type dogs! Big or small I enjoy serving families and helping with their dog care! My job is flexible so I can come in and out as much as you need. I also can stay the night. I would prefer this actually to make sure dog has all it needs and house is kept in order I am very passionate about doing what is asked of me in pet care. I want the dog to be able to be around me and still maintain all training and methods that the owner has instilled. I work hard to do everything by the instructions of the specific owner
About: I’ve had big dogs and little dogs all my life! I love to walk, play, and give good belly rubs! And I’ll treat your dogs like my own. I’m currently working part time for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in and hang out with your fur babies! I can care for your pets in your home, take them out for walks, chill with them outside or inside, or make sure any special instructions are followed.
About: I’ve had almost any animal you can think of! Dogs, cats, lizards, tortoise, ferrets, rabbits, parrots, all sorts of poultry, a pony, goats, etc! I grew up taking care of animals around my house! I’m in summer classes at the moment! I do have clinical but outside of that I stay pretty free! This is just an extra gig so I don’t stay bored. I have a suite in an apartment and will keep them in there, when I am home they are free to roam around. I also have a park next door to take them on walks! and downstairs there is a pet area. In your home, I will check in with the pet 2-3 time a day, and send pictures and updates! I can do overnights as needed.
“I would definitely hire Grace again. She went above and beyond to take care of my Bella.”
“Once again Trevor did an excellent job of caring for our three kitties!”
About: The care I provide is truly one-of-a-kind. I'm home full-time with my two year old, who also loves dogs. I have loved and cared for dogs for 12 years and I have a fixed 1 year-old Chihuahua named Rocky. I provide 30 min dog walks, 30 min home visits, doggy daycare AND dog boarding (excluding some large dogs especially dogs over 100 lbs). I will play with your fur babies and also bathe them. My special abilities include belly rubbing, ear scratching, and cuddling. I'd like to enroll in dog grooming classes in the summer. As soon as this service is available, I'll be sure to tell you first. Inquire within because spaces are limited! Your fur babies will thank you and we will too!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my two pups for the last 8 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I can provide your dog with long walks and/or quick potty breaks and some quality play time to get some energy out of My work schedule is very flexible and will allow me to meet your dogs needs. I am available on weekdays and weekends, day and night. I have two dogs of my own and understand what is needed to keep them safe and secure. I will be sure to follow any instructions you leave as well as my best judgment to ensure your pet’s safety.
About: I love dogs and have been watching them for four years. I have watched dogs as small as a chihuahua and as big as a great dane! I am very good at watching elderly animals. I am able to make my own schedule at work therefore I am very flexible with when I am able to let the dogs out, play, ect. I care for the pets I am sitting according to how their owners request them to be taken care of! I don’t want to stray the animals from their routine.
About: I have had four or more dogs since I was a baby so I’m an expert at taking care of puppies. I’ve been house/dog sitting since I was in middle school and dog walking since I was a kid. I love taking care of cats, too!!! I have a couple of classes but I’m done by 2 pm everyday. I can easily fit house/dog sitting/walking into my schedule. Just message me to find out times and if that works for you, great! I’ve been house sitting for my neighborhood since I was 16 and can easily live with dogs since I have been doing it since I was a baby. I’m open to any schedule you have your dogs on and any feeding/special routine your dog needs.
“A person you can trust! Dogs loves her!”
About: I am currently a senior at Louisiana Tech University majoring in Animal Science. Prior to enrolling in college, I volunteered my time at my local animal shelter to aid in socializing dogs for the future possibility of adoption. Also, I've had many pets of my own, including a miniature poodle, a guinea pig, hamster, rat terrier, a domestic shorthair cat, and many others. These pets are no longer with me due to their inevitable old age. I also have farm animal experience that includes administering deworming medication to goats, as well as experience with cattle. I absolutely love animals of all kinds, especially dogs! I take great pride in caring for pets and companion animals. I have a flexible schedule, and will be available for dog walking services everyday after 12:15 pm. I can be contacted through the Rover app at any time regarding my availability. Your pet will be well taken care of and will only be given food/treats upon request. I will walk your dog and provide plenty of water.
“Cj has been great with our puppy! Reliable, on time, and attentive. We’ve booked daily repeating visits. And would definitely recommend her to friends and family.”
“Chelsea is a very compassionate, caring, professional, dedicated, and loving person. Her love and kindness was clear every step of the way. Her ten years of experience as a Vet Technician made a huge difference in the care she offered to my kitties. The sweet presence of her young son also made a wonderful impact. My kitties love both Chelsea and her son. I was expecting very good outcomes from my first booking with Rover, but I didn't know it would be more than fantastic. Before leaving town and being away from my cats for the first time, I was honestly very nervous about leaving them with someone else other than my husband and I, but Chelsea took care of them as if they were part of her family. Our gratitude and love to Chelsea. And thank you so very much Rover for providing us with such an excellent sitter.”
About: I grew up helping take care of my own pets. Not only have i taken care of my own pets but I have also helped take care of my friends' pets. I feed, walk, play, and care for dogs and cats. I currently work remote 8 am to 5 pm and have an hour break that I can take any time of the day. That break would allow time for walking your pet. I am available early mornings to walk your pet. There are a couple evenings (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) where I have other commitments but I would definitely try and work with your pet schedule the best I can. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide care for pets in my place since my apartment does not allow pets. I can however provide overnight care for your pet in the comfort of your home (during the week and during the weekend). I will make sure that your pet is cared for as you would care for them. I kindly ask that you write down instructions on how to care for your pet, if you feel the need to do so. I understand that pet care varies from pet to pet. I appreciate you greatly for this.
About: I've lived with pets all my life and have had the responsibility of taking care of them since I was 8. At first my responsibilities were to just find them and let them outside after they ate but as I started to grow up, I was expected to walk and bathe them. I have also personally trained three of my dogs for basic commands and loose leash walking. As someone who grew up with lots of pets, I am already in the routine of taking hour walks every day and that is something that stuck with me even when I moved to college. My classes are in the morning to middle of the day so I'm available for morning and night feeding with the availability of house sitting if needed. I've grown up with large dogs (ex. german shepard, doberman, rottweiler) so I'm not afraid of a big bark and know how to redirect a reactive dog.
About: I've had pets of all shapes and sizes for my whole life, participating in their care in considerable ways such as bathing, feeding, and clean-up. I'm familiar with breeds as small as chihuahuas and shiatzus, and as large as great danes and cane corsos. I have two cats now, Oscar and Ophelia, who I take very well care of. They want for nothing, except maybe more treats! I substitute teach and house-clean between my college classes, so I have lots of odds and ends things going on that allow me some considerable flexibility to care for your pets. I'm familiar with keeping my eye on animals, even those excitable flight-risks, and am more than diligent when it comes to locking up and providing security for your home and your pet.
About: Out of my family when growing up, even when little, I have been the primary one to care for our dogs. I would bathe them, let them out, train them, walk them, etc. I'd even go out of my way to help those of friends as well. I have a huge care for pets and making sure they're as loved as you make them feel. I'm currently in college at LA Tech, but only have three classes this quarter! My latest classes are from 2-5, everyday, but anytime after 5 PM works! I also only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursday, so any check ins early-on on those days works as well. Besides that, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have the 2-5 class, but also a class at 9:30 AM, so only afternoons work those days. All weekends should work for me! While I can not take care of your pet in my own home, I find being able to bring them comfort and care in their own environment where they are used to being to help them feel truly cared for. I know how lonesome our pets can be when we are gone, whether they have another person caring for them or not, so I like to go above and beyond to give them their normal care and love so things won't feel too differently for them for the time being.
“Kayla was great with our dogs and listened about walking our very active dog during her stay that he didn't destroy anything in the house.”
