About: All dogs seem to love me and gravitate towards me. I always know how to treat them even if they are a little skittish. I think I’d be a great fit. After work I am free always after 4 pm and on the weekends I can walk anytime for the most part, I think this is a great part time gig for me since I love dogs. I am extremely careful always keeping an eye on them and making sure they are not getting into anything that they should not be getting into.

“Ruth did great job with taking care of my cat Cali’s needs while I was a away for few days. She was reliable and attentive and I was able enjoy holidays. I would highly recommend Ruth.”

“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

About: I was a volunteer at the DFW animal shelter before moving here. I have 2 dogs - one is 6 years and old and the other is 2. I love animals so much and will make sure every fur baby is taken care of and loved! 🩵 I work from home but control my schedule. Mornings and afternoons are very easy for me- and I can adjust my schedule as needed! I'm also rather active and can take pets on long walks/runs if wanted! I will make sure they go on long walks, fed according to your instructions, and will give them all the pets! From volunteering and raising my puppy, I am not shy to jumping. Im also very accustomed to small and large dogs!

About: Growing up we always had pets around. Gold fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. It really is a fruitful and valuable thing to learn how to love and care for any creature. I am full time homemaker. I spend most days providing top level care for my two devon rex and not too long ago my senior dog who is no longer with us. In my clients home I can follow any level of play and I would be more than happy to go on a walk with their pet and other care within reason.

“Nikki dropped in to check on our cats during the long Fourth of July weekend! Everything went so well and she gave one of our cats his meds every evening. She was timely and professional and very knowledgeable!”

About: Your pup or pups will get specialized attention when they live with me! I only take one pup family at a time, so there will be no worries about how your dog interacts with others or if they're safe. One note: I have a cat! I have a lot of experience with dogs for my whole life. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs in my entire adult life. I've worked as a dog walker for the first 5 years I was in LA. At least 4 walks a day if desired. The dogs would have full run of the apartment! I work from home so I only leave the house for about 2-3 hours max. I love to have designated cuddle times during the day and at least 2 longer walks. I enjoy training as well if you’d like. I can loose leash train for an additional fee. Positive reinforcement only! **I am an expert with anxious dogs and understand that they need love at their own speed. My rescue dog is anxious with other humans (and even on Prozac) so I deeply understand what it feels like to be an owner of a dog with anxiety. I’ll be their biggest advocate! I work from home and love to walk and exercise. I can run or bike with your dog if they need extra! I’ve also trained puppies or older dogs on leash or any other commands you’d like. I have a backyard with no fence. I never let dogs off leash outside. I always air on the side of caution. Dogs have full run of my home.

“Calina was an amazing cat sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure our 2 babies were well cared for. I highly recommend her for all of your pet needs and I will absolutely use her again!”

About: I’m already pet sit through another site and have decided to expand my services to Rover! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even farm animals, having pets around has always been a big part of my life. I have been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since elementary school. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, even wild ones! My experience spans beyond just cats and dogs; I’ve cared for reptiles, bunnies, frogs, fish, and even farm animals. I’m also an artist and have traveled to 49 states in the US, as well as lived in Paris and the Middle East. My extensive travel has given me a unique perspective on animal care, and I’ve learned to adapt to the needs of various pets in different environments. I travel often across the US and have lived in multiple countries, which has given me the opportunity to pet sit for family and friends along the way. My nomadic lifestyle has allowed me to meet and care for a wide variety of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I pride myself on being clean, respectful, and attentive to the needs of the pets I care for.

I do work a full time job but I do have plenty of flexibility since my schedule is either early morning or later in the afternoon. I always make the time. I love a detailed list.
