“Haley was absolutely fantastic! Koda loved her and she sent plenty of photos and videos with him. She was on time and very professional! Can’t recommend enough!”

About: Im an animal science major, I've worked at dog kennels and a dog boarding area since I was little. If you can't tell animals are basically my life. Some special skills are knowing that all dogs are different, I will make sure that I know all the necessities needed for each dog or critter that you will have me watch! If they need special medication I'll make sure that's taken, and anything you do for your dog/critter normally. I'll also make sure will get done as well! Hope this helps explain some more about who I am, if there are any questions don't be afraid to ask! I do work during the day in Lawrenceburg from 7 to 4. I work full time in Winterset, but I'm off by the latest 4 p.m during the week. I'm free on weekends, and can be there anytime then! For service for pets in my home. I apologize, but at the moment I don't bring into my home. For in a client's home, I make sure they have their regular routine they're use to. They don't recieve any extra food that may upset stomachs. I also ensure to follow any rules given or asked by the pet owner.

“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”

“Haley was OUTSTANDING! Not only is she a joy, but our Gracie girl loved her. Haley sent tons of photos every visit, loved on our girl, even cleaned up a hairball. She was highly communicative, sweet, and an amazing pet sitter. I will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”

About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

“Breanna is awesome! She cares for their well being; take lots of photos, and very communicated. My dogs loves her! We will definitely rebook with her again.”

About: I have 2 100 pound dogs, a cat, and 3 kids so I’m used to chaos. Love all animals and can handle big pups or non people lover cats. Stay at home mom so I’m available for let out and walks everyday and almost anytime of the day. I just have to be at school drop off and pickup. I can follow your directions for dogs or cats. I can let them out to potty or take them for walks. As long as they are kid friendly I can be there anytime or day!

“Hannah has stayed with our pets several times now and whether overnight or just dropping in she is very punctual, communicates proactively, and is a pleasure to work with.”

About: We've lived on a farm most of my life and we've had animals all my life. I currently have 2 pups of my own. A 11 year old English Shepherd Mix (Kai) and a 7 year old Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund (Riley). I lost my childhood dog Max (a Border Collie mix) from old age when he was 16.... I have trained all my dogs and not just the average leashing and commands but tricks too! I have also always done all the bathing, grooming and trimming nails. I absolutely adore dogs. I am hoping to turn this into a full time job. But am willing to start out with what I can get while doing a part time job. I will always try to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of, safe, comfortable and happy. So, there will be no need to worry.

About: Hi!! I have assisted family and friends with their fur babies since i was old enough to drive and it has always been my favorite thing to do! I love making sure our little friends are fed, watered, played with, loved, and overall taken care of, as they deserve. I am a stay at home mom, so I am almost always free! Because my son loves dogs and cats, I felt this was the perfect thing for me to do! Day to day pet schedules will always vary depending on what your specific pet needs, but food and outside time are very important. I offer walks, going to dog parks, or just staying in the yard! Whatever your pet needs, they will have and, no matter what, there will always be lots of fun!

“Bre did a great job taking care of our three cats! very friendly, good communication and thorough, it’s nice to know we have someone who cares taking care of our babies while we’re out of town!”

“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”

About: I come from a home who owed/bred dogs. I’ve always had a pet. I’ve dealt with puppies, kittens, raccoons, birds, iguanas, and fish. I do crate train as that’s what we do with our own puppies. We provide a safe home for your fur babies, with lots of love and play. I already care for my one fur baby. We have a routine we like to follow, it helps with the pets and children in the home. I have a fenced in yard and generally crate train in my home. We have a routine for walks, feeding, and playtime.... lots of playtime.

About: My love for animals began as early as I can remember. I have always had a deep reverence for all life around me. I'm currently a student at UNA studying environmental science and sustainability. I hope to one day have my own farm. I've had a wide variety of pets over the years; gerbils, Guinea pigs, a box turtle, and many of my friends growing up had dogs as well. My first true animal companion was our family dog, Logan, who was a rescued Golden Retriever/ German Shepard mix. He passed away at age 15 when I was 13 on Christmas morning (no joke- of all days..). My family took a long time to get another dog because we felt that no dog could ever top Logan. My parents did get another dog since, a rambunctious and loving beagle mix named Molly. I have also had an orange tabby cat named Señor Platáno of which whom I allowed to be indoor and outdoor while I went to school at Kent State University, but he was tragically hit by a car. To this day I still think of him more as a dog the way we were so close. I haven’t been in the right place financially to have a dog of my own but at my most recent job I was able to interact with dogs on a daily basis and it always made my day. I decided to sign up for Rover because I am currently unemployed and enrolled at UNA so I thought what better way to earn some side money than to become a dog walker/sitter. I look forward to meeting as many furry friends as I can and I will truly cherish every encounter I am fortunate enough to have. Thank you. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is practically wide open. I will be resuming my education at UNA in the Fall, but all of my classes will be online so my schedule shouldn't change much. I live in Florence and I like to stay local with my hobbies so I’m not usually ever far from the Shoals area. Dog and cat care will fit well with my schedule. Pet care at a clients home will always be carried out with honor and reverence towards the clients, their home and their pets. I was a boyscout growing up and my loving parents taught me well to respect people and animals so when I leave a home I will leave it in the same condition or better than when I arrived. Your pet will get my undivided attention and care as I will treat them like I would my own, with love and respect.

About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

I also beleive it’s my job to leave a home “better than I found it” so you can return home with no extra chores from my stay!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my life! I currently own two giant babies (German Shepard) and can handle everything in between! Some days or weeks, your best friend just needs some extra love and attention. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals of various sizes and personalities! Let me care for your best friends, like I would care for my own! During the Summer time, I have open availability. Any day, any time! Tell me what you need, and I will accommodate! Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch. Even though I am a dog owner, I have some experience caring for cats as well!
