About: Hello! I have 2 dogs and 7 cats of my own for about 9 years now. Throughout this journey of having my own, I’ve gained tons of experience in taking care of all kinds of dogs and cats. I’ve walked other owners dogs and I’ve done plenty of cat sitting visits as well. I’m trustworthy, reliable, and my availability is open. I can’t wait to meet your pup and/or cat. Feel free to message me with any questions 🙂 Working for Rover as a side hustle is very convenient for me. I get to do what I love and get paid at the same time. Although I don’t provide dog boarding services inside my home, I’d be more than happy to keep an eye on your pets and follow a set of instructions that you have for me to make sure everything goes well.

About: I've raised animals of all sorts all my life so I am very passionate about giving the best care to any and all types of animals. I have spare time in my weeks to walk, play, pet and cuddle your pet. If you have a schedule set for them then I will keep them on it to the best of my abilities and if no schedule then I can wing it and even make one if you'd prefer. I supervise all outside time not just the walks, I keep a close eye on your pet to make sure no one gets into or out of anything their not supposed to and if you have a door charging pet I can keep them from slipping past and can even help teach them to refrain by request only. I work anywhere from 1-3 times a week which leaves me with a lot of spare time on my hands to help others furry friends. Though I don't offer stays in my home, I will be mindful of yours, if you have specific rules or routines for your pet I will happily uphold them and will always look out for the safety of your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time. I first started with my mom at a young age. She taught me how to take care of animals and how to respect them. As I got older I was often asked by friends and family to watch over their furry loved ones. This included feeding, walking, and give them lots of TLC. With clear instructions I have also given pets the medicine that they needed at the time. I love both dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. Right now, I am the proud dog mom of an 8 year old Lab-Akita mix. She’s the love of my life and would do anything for her.Being a pet owner myself, I understand the joys and anxieties that come with caring for them so I will be ensure to provide excellent care. I am a military spouse who just received my is bachelor's degree. My weekly routine is mostly open as I am searching for a full time job. Right now my weeks are very flexible and I will be able to work with you on meeting your pets needs. My goal will be to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible as you are away. I will try to keep them occupied so they aren’t missing you too much. I love to go on walks myself, so if it’s allowed I will try to walk them plenty. Any care instructions that are provide will be followed to the letter.

I've known Mark for 25yrs. He has always had in his care rescue animals dogs and cats. He has raised several shelter dogs from pup to 17yr old lab. Whom he had taken in has a puppy from an animal shelter. And several other dogs in the time I have known Mark. Genuine and caring human being. I've been a witness to Mark jumping out of the car to save stray dogs. Highly highly recommend Mark. TY

Wolfe is amazing with animals they have wanted to be a vet since they could talk. They love learning everything about dog training and has went to one on one classes to learn more. Every animal loves them I swear. So whether or not your looking for a full time dog walker or cat sitter they are a top choice for best service.

Moriah is a true dog lover and great caregiver! She cares for all pets as if they were her own, and her own fur baby is very spoiled. Moriah is also responsible, considerate, and will keep you well informed about how your pet is doing while you are away. She has several years of experience in pet sitting - I highly recommend her!

Megan is the BEST! When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)
