About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest…I will be there too. My other job is driving for Uber and I work that around Pet Sitting so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special friend! I'm not currently available for boarding as my daughter is staying with me and we both have kitties. I like to work my schedule around the pet’s schedule and needs, and provide what each pet is used to on a daily basis - feeding times, medicine administration, sleeping habits, walks, etc.
“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience dog sitting for friends and family through trusted, repeat care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. When caring for pets on Rover, I focus on mainly their normal schedule routine such as feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and always prioritize your dogs well being. I follow all care instructions closely and provide regular photos and message updates so you always know how your pet is doin. My goal is to give your dog loving, consistent care and give you total peace of mind while you’re away. Since I’m on summer break from college, I have a very open and flexible schedule. I spend most of my day at home or nearby, so i’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins naturally fit into my routine, and I love being able to take breaks in my day to spend time with the dogs I care for! Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I make sure they are always in a clean, safe, and calm environment where they feel at home. I stick closely to their normal routine so things feel familiar and stress free for them. I give lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day, and i’m careful to follow instructions exactly as provided. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well while you’re away. Whether i’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I was lucky enough to be a dog mom to a 16yo GS, and now have a 9yo Labrador. We love a good dog pawty! I am a full time, remote student; I have plenty of time to give love and attention! We start our days around 5am, and retire between 9-10pm. We take early morning walks and sometimes in the evenings (if weather permits). I have a fenced in yard, and have a lovable Labrador to keep your dog company while youre away; he likes to share his toys and treats!
About: With years of experience caring for pets and two years now on Rover, from running a dog-walking business to helping kittens be born, I provide expert, compassionate care tailored to each animal's unique needs and personality.😽 Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I’m already caring for my own dog and cat daily. Balancing my part-time job, I ensure all pets get dedicated, quality attention. I provide personalized pet care, whether in your home or mine. With my own pets, I’m experienced in creating a nurturing environment, ensuring animals feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for daily.
About: I grew up with many types of dogs, pit bulls, labs, pugs, poodles, boxers, chihuahuas. I have taken care of kittens that needed bottles and given medicine. I have owned pet birds in the past and I also have had a hamster and guinea pigs. I grew up around horses as well, I took care of my moms friends horse for 4 years and we grew a strong bond. Any animal I meet I always let them come to me first I can read animals body language easily. I have had friends ask me to take care of their pets for them and they are always happy when they know their pets have been well taken care of once they get them back. I have taken 3 vet classes and have my certificates from them. I am currently looking for a job at a vet place or grooming place so I have a lot of free time on my hands, so I would be able to watch animals any time of day or any day during the week. We have wooden floors in the home so if the animals make a mess it will be easy to clean, I always follow instructions of what animals can and cannot eat, I will never give human food to any animals as it can easily upset their stomach.
About: I am passionate about the welfare of animals and very keen when it comes to being a voice for them. The time, patience, and dedication required to not only care for but train our pets can be too much for the busy and fast-paced lifestyle many of us live nowadays. I'd love to be of service to those wanting to make sure their dog(s) gets the time and attention they want and need. I have the most experience with Medium/Large/XL dogs. Koda, who is a bully breed, has been everything to our family for almost 6 years. He is by far the most well-behaved and friendly dog I have ever experienced. The general breeds I have the most experience with are Bully breeds, Collies, Great Danes, and Mastiffs.
