About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a toddler. I have fostered, pet sat for friends and family many times and recently lost my own dog of 13 years. I recently retired and miss having a pup in my life. I’m available and flexible for daily walks as well as able to provide boarding in my home. I am very attentive and loving toward all fur babies. I’m a firm believer that exercise and interactive play is essential in developing a bond with each pup.

About: I have never been without a pet or multiple pets, mostly cats and dogs. I believe Pets are family members. I have cared for pets ages birth to 17 years old since childhood. I have two dogs of my own and one granddog I work from my phone/computer full-time scheduling clients. I am able to care for Pets in my home or yours around the clock. I also have the freedom to come and go as needed for pet walking and/or potty breaks. I live in a safe neighborhood with a decent sized yard. I never let Pets go out without being on a leash or tie out. I have a small, older Westie and a 2 year old mini golden doodle that love other animals.

About: I have been fostering & training animals for rescues and shelters since 2009. I enjoy fostering because it helps more animals in the long run, I am great with animals that are unruly & have vet technician experience, so you can be sure your animal is in great hands when at my home or in my care, I love cats, dogs & caged animals & will go above and beyond for them. I can do things that most animal caretakers aren’t comfortable with, such as administer medications, light training, cleaning, bathing, grooming, even go pet shopping if needed! I will treat your babies as my own 😊 I have a huge yard & I live a few miles from a park with a walking trail. I own my business and work from home on my own schedule so I can work around my animal care schedule if needed. I have a 6 month old but can and will refrain from contact if needed. I have pets of my own as well as fosters at any given time, however my house is split level and plenty big enough to separate my animals from visiting one's to ensure safety.

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, lizards, and a chinchilla. I currently have goats, chickens, 5 cats and a dog. I care for animals the way I care for children, they bring me such joy! I have also captured strays to get them to a rescue, and helped wild animals with injuries. I am very attentive to the animals moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have dealt with sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections and followed food regimens. I have been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with being bitten. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not a very busy individual, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

About: This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.

Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!

Stephanie is fantastic with pets. She has pet-sat for my five doggos and has taken tender care of them and all of their different needs. She is timely, consistent, communicative, and left my home exactly as I had. My doggos love her and feel safe in her care. She is also really responsive when asked for photos or updates. We love Stephanie (our dogs and us!) and highly recommend her to folks who are looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter with years of experience caring for geriatric and higher needs pets.

We really love Emily. She is a true animal lover of all animals. She has helped us not only with our dogs and cats but has also taken care of our farm while we went out of town. We have pigs, goats, chickens, and turkeys. Everything was spotless and the animals are so comfortable with her. She regularly walks and exercises our dogs. They always love to see her pull up.

Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I could remember, always have 1 or 3 in the house. My family and I used to foster dogs until they found a forever home. I'm very good with all dogs of all ages. I currently do not have a job due to the store I was working at closing down. I am available all day except for Tuesday and anytime works with me. Making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible is a top priority of mine. I love playing with dogs and letting them get out all the energy they want.

About: Hello. I'm a RN who works night shift. I enjoy caring for people and animals. I've had dogs and cats all my life. Im patient and enjoy training my dog Sadie. She is a wild mix breed with a lot of energy. I've also taught my cats to have manners as well. Let me know if I can be any help to you and your fur babies. I work three nights a week as an RN Sunday Monday and Tuesday. I am available to most days except Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-4 My husband and I care for our dog and three cats. The cats have free roam over the house and are fed wet and dry food. Our dog has her own dog room that was an add on to our home where she stays at night. During the day she is with us around the house or outside in the yard and stays within the boundary of her E fence. She is fed nightly at the same time because I believe routine is the best for dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and love on their pets. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I’d love to care for your fur-babies anytime you’d like! I have a huge yard and a super friendly dog to keep your animal company. My apartments are a very safe and secure area for all pets.

Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!

About: I have mainly taken great care of my family and friends fur babies but wanted to make this a job for me because I absolutely love doing this! Im currently not working due to hurricane Helene. I am pretty much free anytime of the week. I’d prefer week days but don’t mind weekends if needed! I have two Dogs of my own a Golden Retriever. Her names Stella, she’s 8 months and did I mention she’s very pretty in pink! Then I have the most handsomest boy Flynn. He is an Aussiedoodle who is 3 and FULL of energy! Just built a fence for them in the backyard so they can play their little hearts out. I wanna take care of your dogs just like I would take care of my own. Every dog is to pure for this world and deserves the most loving care imaginable!!
