My first time doing this with my cat and she made me feel so much better about leaving her. I highly recommend her to anyone, and especially if you are anxious about leaving your baby!”

About: Dogs come in all personalities, and I love them all! I provide patient, attentive care tailored to each dog, whether they want playtime, independence or extra affection. I work from home, which means pets are never left alone for long periods. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to walks, playtime, meals, and cuddle breaks throughout the day I love spending time playing, hanging out, and getting to know each dog and cat’s personality. Since I work from home, I’m able to give plenty of attention while keeping things safe, calm and structured.

About: With a lifetime of pet care experience i can almost certainly say, I can handle any size pet with any energy level. Ive yet to meet a dog/cat I habent been able to create a bknd with. Theres a generous amount of space here in our 4 bedroom home, including fenced in back yard. Ready to take any furry friends in and care for them as they were my own. Open availability right now but may be updated in the near future. My 5 year old daughter is here half the time but is really excited at this opportunity and shouldn't be a barrier. Fenced in yard outside of our 4 bedroom house. Tons of square footage with a very nice neighborhood for walks, your fuzzy friend won't want to leave!

About: Growing up, I was the go to neighborhood sitter for roughly 10 families. My family only ever had cats (up to 7 at once), but I’ve always been more of a dog person, so I relished getting to spend time with everyone else’s dogs! Last year, I also lived on a farm with 5 dogs and shared many of the daily responsibilities, loving every moment. Still not being in a situation to get a dog of my own yet, I would love to give your dog all the love and attention they deserve! I work full time 9-5, but have a very flexible setup. I can take a dog into my office on occasion, which could include a 2 mile walk from my apartment, and/or work from home as needed. Whatever is best for you dog, I can likely adjust my schedule to their needs I live in a second floor, 2 bedroom apartment but unfortunately without a yard. I live close to several parks and the bike path though, so can easily take your dog out and/or crate as needed.

About: Experience taking care of many animals including goats, chickens, horses, bunnies, pigs, guinea pigs, and dogs of all sizes! Experience with both small, large, and all dogs in between! I have been a long time user of Rover for my own dog Ham for many years! I have had such a great experience using Rover when I am traveling out of state that I want to give you and your dog that same experience whenever you need to travel and leave your dog behind. I have one dog Ham who is 9 years old and male he is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and takes regular monthly heart worm and flea medicine. I will only accept booking that I have "Meet and Greet" to see how they get along with Ham and make sure they are comfortable and confident together. I can accept 2 dogs per night (will accommodate for repeat client) Once or twice a day walks for up to an hour (weather permitting), your dog will be comfortable, happy, and well cared for while your gone . Your dog must be dog friendly, vaccinated and flea treated. We have plenty of rooms in our house and a patio and path for them to explore around. They are welcome to sleep anywhere at the house that makes them the most comfortable. I am happy to travel to meet and greet and can also do pickup at your place for a fee. Thank You, Alexandra I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule that can be tailored around your pet. Normally I am home all day Thursday through Sunday. Dog friendly condo with walking path and private patio (can be fenced in for smaller dogs). Entire downstairs is pet friendly with property close to dog parks and hiking trails. I also have a guest room that can be set up to fit your dogs needs.

“Sabrina did such a great job with our Frenchie, Stella! Normally, when we bring her to the kennel, she has to be on anxiety medication the whole time, but this time, she didn’t need it at all. Sabrina’s calm nature and peaceful environment were perfect. Plus, she has the friendliest kitty named Remi, which was a wonderful bonus!”

When we picked Marcy up 10 days later, she pulled on the leash a little bit, but not anxiously. To me, that says she was glad to see me, happy to be reunited with her usual pack, but that she wasn’t distressed over being left behind. I could tell she got good care, and the pictures Kira sent showed a relaxed dog making herself comfortable. That’s a good dog vacation.

I cannot express how greatly I appreciated the time Dima spent ensuring my dog was comfortable, ensured he acclimated to the new space, and got exercised. Dima even shared some behavior modifying suggestions to address my dogs barking for attention, which I greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything!
