About: I grew up exposed to all kinds of animals. Ranging from cats and dogs to a parrot and an iguana. My family taught me that love for and from animals is unconditional. I've taken care of goats, I've had pet rats, built bigger tanks for turtles, created a pond for fish. I have lots of experience with animals and it's all over the spectrum. I feel confident I can satisfy your animal care needs! I work full time, but I personally have one cat and my roommate has two cats so it is a fun and fur filled home. I can care for animals in the client's home. I can take your dog for a walk or spend time playing with your cat. I am confident and comfortable with many needs that are requested.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, my family used to rescue strays and my grandmother used to breed Pomeranians. I myself have shown dogs in 4-H as well, in both showmanship and obedience classes! I also have special need doggo right now and understand how to distribute oral medications correctly. I understand how hard it is to trust your furry loved ones to someone who you don’t know, and I promise to always provide a gentle and loving environment for them no matter the case! I am a college student at the moment so I will not be able to be with your furry loved one full time! However my class schedule is flexible enough that I will be sure that your pet is well taken care of! I have most evenings absolutely free as well as weekends meaning I can be with your pet full time during that time! My own dog gets about two walks a day! He receives medication as well as special stimulation treats during the day, along with a weekly spa day, he is one pampered pooch!! My cat gets wet food every morning and dry food every evening, he is long haired so this furry kitty also gets groomed very regularly. Both of my pets also get night time treats just for being adorable.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have also grown up raising birds, cats, and rabbits. I had my first pet-sitting business when I was just 11 years old. I am a current dog and cat mom. I aspire to be a dog trainer and have my own business one day. I have successfully trained my own dog in a variety of different skills and I am eager to gain even more knowledge to work towards my career. I have 3+ years experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and all temperaments. I also have experience working with dogs with special needs. I just moved to the area and I am currently looking for a full-time position in the animal care field. In the meantime, I am looking to find work through Rover to stay caught up on finances. I do plan to continue using Rover for side-work after finding a full-time job. I also believe it could help me gain experience towards my career goals. My schedule is very open at the moment. I take my dog on walks every evening and have training sessions for an hour every day. Since I live with other people currently, I can only pet-sit in clients’ homes. I do have a very friendly 5-year old doodle who loves to play with other dogs, so I can always bring him along to keep your pet company. I follow my clients’ instructions to the tee whether regarding potty schedules, feeding schedules, bathing, walking, playing, training, etc. I can also do any additional services if need be while caring for your pet at your home.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I am adept at creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly. Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

About: Your pet will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care while you're away. I provide safe, attentive, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits very well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and work in the gig economy. That allows me to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for, whether that means walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, or giving them extra attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care while keeping owners updated along the way. Because I'll be caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care they need. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
