About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.
About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
About: While my experience is mostly with seniors, I love and have experience with all age ranges. I've also cared for dogs that have had some medical issues and am super attentive to all my fur babies. I currently work full-time, but my hours are extremely flexible. I am in office Thurs-Sun, but my work day can end anywhere between 8am & 3pm. If I have pets in my home, I do provide a bed, feeding bowls, snacks, toys, and a lot of affection. I have a private park across the street as well as a fenced in backyard, depending on what the needs are. I am also located near Bushnell Park in case some extra running around is needed. I am good at giving medicine, if need be.
About: After many years of asking, I finally received the opportunity to raise my puppy, Shadow and take care of him until his last years. I’m an all around animal lover, and that experience helped enlighten me to the amazing connection between people and their pets! I’ve also worked for a pet supply company where I spent 3 years there, with one of them being a pet care associate. There I was trained on taking care of a wide variety of animals such as kittens / cats, reptiles, aquatics, and small animals like guinea pigs and chinchillas. I’d feed these animals daily, clean up their habitats, and provide them with their medication whenever necessary. I’m a recent graduate and just received my Bachelors degree, but I’m looking to do a bit more work doing something I truly enjoy 😊 I’m currently working Monday- Friday 7-4, but will soon be available Fridays. I’m free weekends, early mornings before I head into work, and later evenings. As long as enough information and resources are provided, I’m completely open to caring for pets with medical conditions, specific dietary guidelines, and other animals besides dogs and cats. Puppies, kittens, small animals, large animals, and elderly animals are all welcomed. When bringing pets outside for their walks or to dog parks I do bring my doggy bags, a small first aid kit, as well as a small air horn specifically meant for stopping animal attacks. Potty time can be limited to specific nearby areas if necessary, or simply walks and can be done every 2 hours. Please make note of any physical limitations to ensure safety during play time 😊
About: Since the age of three I’ve always been around pets! Ranging from alligator lizards, to German shepherds to pigeons in a shed! I became a member of PETA at the age of 10, it’s true lol! P.S. I only signed up for the cute calendars! ❤️🐶 I am a college student, however, my early afternoons and evenings are typically open! During that time, I’d love to care for your fur child!! My backyard is fenced in for safety. For overnight services especially, I will reach out to the owner beforehand to gain insight on how to best make your furry loved one feel as safe and comfortable as possible!

“Destiny ads pleasure to everyone. She’s a delight to know, Destiny is super responsible. She recently graduated from Mizzou College, Columbia, MO. When she was in high school, she worked babysitting for a Therapist, she was on the baseball team, in the band she ran track and still maintained excellent grades. No two ways about it, hands down she’s the best,”

Sheldon Charter Oak pet parents share their Rover experiences
Another wonderful visit with Marissa! She took great care of my dog, Goose, and communicated well through updates and pictures. Goose has a new medication since the last time she watched him, and she communicated about when it was administered. Finally, she went above and beyond to make Goose comfortable when there were fireworks and loud noises in the neighborhood. Appreciated her!
Sarah was INCREDIBLE! We got daily updates, an amazing blog post, and SO MANY PHOTOS. Raimi was not just cared for, she was loved. Sarah is very communicative and kept us updated about the time of her visits at all times. I know Sarah will be our go to for whenever we need to leave Raimi (as long as she’s available, of course).
