About: I grew up surrounded by animals (doggies, cats, goats, turtles, birds, etc.) Since I was a little girl I always had a passion for caring for animals and treating them with love and respect. I’m currently working on getting my bachelors in social work online and almost home all the time; so I have plenty of time to care for your furry best friends. I have a fenced yard and enough space inside the house where the pets can play and have a good time away from home. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary. I have a 5 year old friendly cocker spaniel.

About: Hi, I’m Gianna! I'm a passionate pre-vet student with hands-on experience in emergency vet med and general animal care. I’ve worked in vet clinics and have two amazing rescue pups of my own! Whether it's dogs, cats, or pocket pets, I’m here to provide loving, knowledgeable, and reliable care for your furry friends. 🐾 I work part-time and keep a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. With about a day’s notice, I’m happy to coordinate walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’m usually available on weekdays and most weekends. Feel free to reach out, I'm always excited to meet new pets and work with your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With my experience in both emergency and general veterinary settings, I take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’ll care for them as if they were my own—offering plenty of love, attention, and patience while following the same safety measures used by vet staff. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring their well-being, or simply making sure they feel comfortable in their own home, you can trust that your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer. I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard. I have 2 cats as well that love to cuddle . We spoil them!

I also did my own pet sitting with many customers and a lot were repeat customers . I have given medicine to a diabetic cat . I have taken care and owned many farm animals . I will take care of any animals small or big . I am available every weekend all day and I am available in the afternoon during the week and at night and very early in the morning .

A senior boxer beagle mix and a mini pincher mix I rescued him from becoming a bait dog .

About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I work for a pet care company that does grooming and daycare and boarding. My schedule is immensely flexible if I'm given enough advance as my official work schedule is made monthly. I can make it so that I have a lot of time on my hands to love your pets and give them my undivided attention they need! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.

“Kim is amazing. She walked Major twice a day, half an hour each walk, regardless of rain or cold. So dedicated and saved me during my work trip when another sitter kept him isolated in a sunroom and made him so anxious. I will definitely use Kim again.”


About: I have a non-profit organization and I volunteer for the animal cause since 2015. I started to rescue animals and be in love with them in my childhood. Me and my dad used to bring dogs home every week! So working with animals is a thing that I absolutely LOVE to do! i’m currently working the entire day Monday to Friday. So I’m available to boarding on weekends, and at some evenings on weekdays, to have fun with your puppy! I will be taking care of your baby in your home. So I’ll make sure that his routine is followed, that he is feed and has water available, get his favorite toys and play a lot.

About: I have had 3 dogs since elementary school. A cocker spaniel, miniature dachshund, and currently a corgi! I would also watch and walk friend’s and family’s dogs. I currently am not working as my husband and I recently moved here. I am a nurse and have been looking for a remote job but have not found one yet. I would love to walk and care for dogs while searching for the perfect job that will suite me! Ideally I would just like to walk or come visit with your dog. I will walk them and let them sniff as they please. If they need a food or snack I can do that as well.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!

About: When it comes to what sets me apart from other sitters, it's all about my passion and experience in training dogs. I am a force-free dog trainer who is also currently pursuing my degree in Animal Health and Behavior Science. I've been in the wonderful world of dog training for 6 years! During this time, I have attended many webinars/seminars to learn more about dogs and developed a deep understanding of their body language and how they communicate, as well as how to help them navigate the world around them. In summer of 2023, I began taking on dog training clients, as well as reaching out to animal shelters to volunteer. I have found myself to be skilled in many areas of dog training such as: Socialization, leash manners, reactivity, potty training, puppy training and more! I am able to switch around depending on the dog to perfectly match their needs and behavior. One more thing that sets me apart is how willing I am to change around depending on your dog. I am very active and a very avid hiker, so if your dog enjoys a hike, then we will absolutely go hiking. If your dog is a couch potato and would rather sleep all day we can then chill at home on the couch and watch movies together! I am also a photographer so your pets will go home with professional photos that will last a lifetime! When you entrust your precious pup to me, you can be confident that they'll receive top-notch care and guidance. I'll create a safe and positive environment where they can thrive and be their happiest selves. They’ll return home to you happy, well-cared for, and fulfilled. 🌟 I am currently still working my way through university (which is online), which means that I am available every day of the week the exception of some weekends! I have a friendly, but neutral, 2 year old border called named Vena, and a shy 5 year old cat named Cali, who typically likes to stay to herself. My dog is very well trained and is able to ignore dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a potty area where the dogs can go out on leash. I have a 14 acre field behind where I live, as well as multiple hiking trails just a shirt drive away. If youre comfortable with me taking your dog on adventures, they will be safely restrained in my car, either in a crash tested harness or crate (which I will provide). I have long lines reaching up to 50 feet allowing all dogs to run and play freely while remaining under control. When visiting homes, I will ensure pets go out according to schedule and I introduce myself in a safe and positive way!

About: Ever since I can remember, I have had a dog in my home. They are the joy and love you need everyday even if you don’t think you need it! Dogs bring me joy and happiness where I can enjoy all kinds!! I am currently working from home! So I have time during the day and evenings where I can give some love to your pets! I can work from Monday-Friday and take lunch at anytime! I have one dog who loves to play and be outside! My husband and I have trained her well! So if you need tricks and tips I can help!

About: I've had my own dogs since I was 18, I'm more than comfortable with large breeds and mini breeds, and everything in between. I'm also well versed in basic grooming for dogs of all sizes.
