About: Hi! I’m Aleah—an experienced dog groomer and lifelong animal lover. I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a cozy stay, or just a quick check-in, I’m here to give them lots of love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes and have experience handling everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I have open availability and can easily work around your schedule. I also share my home with 7 animals of my own, so I’m used to giving plenty of love, structure, and attention to all kinds of pets. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like family—whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay. Let me know your pup’s routine, quirks, or special needs, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I can also offer grooming for dogs and cats! I would like to talk in person for that though just so I can 100% understand what you would like done! *Prices for grooming may differ depending on coat type/condition, pet’s size, and behavior* Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I have open availability! I can pretty much work whenever is needed! I am very big on communication so as long as I know before hand I can usually work around your schedule! I have my own house but not a fenced in yard so your babies will be monitored while outside. We have 4 runs we use for our babies that can be used to let your pups run around a bit! I also have a kennel in case they need to be crated! I also understand dogs can be scared of other dogs in a new environment so I can keep my two pups put up!
“Leah did a wonderful job caring for our cats and horse! She was always on time and left a detailed message letting us know how all our pets were doing. We didn't worry about anything while we were gone and the cats loved her.”
About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.
“Very knowledgeable and thorough. My cat was very unimpressed when we got home, simply because she was very relaxed and at peace being taken care of by T.J.”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our cats. She not only assisted me in setting up appointments for my first foray into Rover, but maintained informative correspondence with us. We did have reservations about leaving our home and pets to a setter, but Sarah made believers of us. We couldn't be any happier.”
About: I've had lots of animals my entire life and I definitely have a way with them. I especially have a soft spot for the older souls, but I love the energetic puppies too! I work part time and have plenty of free time to care for your pups.

About: I have more than plenty of free time to spend with your pets!! I own 3 cats or my own at the moment and I’ve owned several dogs over the years. I’m passionate about taking care of animals and I treat them as if they were my kids. I’ve always been drawn to animals, of all sorts, I might even become a vet. Letting me watch your pet could give me future experience I might need to help me later in life. I am available night or day!! I do have another job, so I would like to know at least a week in advance if I was to be pet sitting or just walking your dog so I can make time for you!! I care for my pets by paying close attention to what they need. Only an owner can know their pets well enough to know exactly what they’re pets want or need. To make sure I’m giving you and your pet the best quality care, I would simply ask for the specific things I need to know about your pet and how they need/want to be cared for.
About: Animals are just as important as humans so I plan to treat every animal with the same respect as humans. I would be honored to take care of your fluffy pets! I’m starting college so I’ll only be busy in the morning, so I’ll have loads of time whenever you may need me! I’m also available on weekends if you need me. I have had a dog my whole life, so I know how all dogs are different. I plan to please them they way they need and want.

About: I was born and raised in the country, my papaw gave me my first dog when I was 5 years old who I named Charlie and told me that I was responsible for taking care of him. That's when I learned the friendship, love, and compassion that pets can behold. He was the 1st of many pets that I had, he lived till I was 17 and will always have a special place in my heart. Throughout my childhood to my teens, I took care of many animals usually dogs but there were cats, ducks, chicken, rabbits, fish, lizards, hamsters, and even befriended a bear cub once thinking it was a dog until my papaw realized and ran it off to prevent momma bear from coming our way. I guess you could say I have always been drawn to animals and I'm so excited for the opportunity to care for your pet, giving you peace of mind that they are receiving quality care. I recently decided to work from home so I could have more time to contribute to things I'm passionate about and one of the things I'm the most passionate about is caring for animals of all varieties. Starting out, I will be available 3 days a week but if there is enough interest generated, I will open my schedule up more. I will follow any and all care instructions given by the pet parent especially if there are any specific care instructions such as administering medications, avoiding allergies, and assisting with physical limitations. I will provide a safe yet fun and happy environment for your pet, making sure they are fed and hydrated while having lots of human interaction. It will be the next best thing to having their pet parent there with them. I can also communicate frequently with messages, pictures, and videos also giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.
About: I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life, and began regularly taking care of family and friends' dog and cats when I was 17. I am very attentive to the needs and body language of both dogs and cats, and adapt well to their unique behaviors and routines. I have experience with aloof/aggressive pets, senior pets, and young pets 6 months or older. I only work a couple days a week so I am comfortable with providing constant care to pets who cannot be left alone. I like to operate on a schedule so I am good about keeping up with bathroom breaks, feeding times, medications, etc. I am consistently available to care for your pets Sunday-Wednesday, and may frequently be available Thursday-Saturday as well (I do my best to update my calendar appropriately as far in advance as possible). I will request information about your pet's personality and care requirements prior to meeting with you. I ask that you allow me to meet your pet outside under your supervision before the stay begins, for both mine and your pet's safety and comfort.
About: I have been around and took care of animals most all my life. I currently have 4 dogs. A shih tzu, golden doodle, and two aussies. I have also had cats but recently ours has passed. I find it so rewarding to love on and take care of animals. I look forward to loving on yours too! I am currently a stay at home mom but all my kids will be in school so I am pretty flexible to tend to you and your pets needs! I have a fenced in back yard for your pets and my own pets that are very gentle to keep them entertained for hours. I also have tons of toys for them to play with.

“I don't think there's anyone on this planet that loves animals more than Amber. She's incredible with them. I've let her keep my dog several times now and I wouldn't trust many people with her. She even taught her how to hit a bell when she needs to go potty! You can't go wrong booking with Amber”

Jason P.
“Jason has cared for our 3 dogs (retriever and two chihuahuas - 1 senior with certain challenges) for over 2 years as well as my mother’s dog, and my mother-in-law’s group of 6; he has done walks for us, pet sitting, and a few overnight care stays. He is attentive, follows instructions well, loves to play and engage with them, and overall is genuinely loving and intuitive with them as if they were his own! If you want to know your fur baby is in good hands with someone reliable, look no further!”
