About: Hi!! I’m Alexandria (Alex), and I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I had the joy of raising MANY wonderful dogs, all except one being rescues from puppy mills or difficult homes. My experience ranges from caring for a loving Pit Bull to two incredible dachshunds who were both blind and deaf, so I’m no stranger to dogs who need a little extra TLC. I care for all animals like they’re my own! Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs special care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. I look forward to meeting your furry family! I am working a full time 7am-4pm job at Walmart, and soon to be starting a job as a Behavioral Management Service Provider... although it seems like a lot, I am more than flexible and willing to work around whatever you need and whatever your pet baby needs! As of right now, on the weekdays I am available any time after 4pm, Thursday I am free all day and Saturday I am Free all day. Whatever it is we can make a plan! For walks I have a portable dog bowl that holds about 32oz of water and I always have extra water bottles in my car, I love the outside so your dog would never be locked up in the house somewhere unless that's what they wanted. I also have plenty of poop bags and bags of treats and toys!

About: I've taken care of dogs for a long time. It started when I was young, probably around the age of 10, but of course I couldn't drive, so my mom had to help out. I have always had a love for animals, and I always will. I am currently a college student studying childhood education and psychology, along with playing soccer. That may sound like I have a pretty busy schedule, but since I live at home, it is not bad at all. I am also a substitute teacher, which allows me to choose when I work based on how my schedule looks for that given week. Pet safety is of the utmost importance to me. Families are relying on me to care for their beloved animals while away for a day or a few days. Playing outside or relaxing inside are all things I love to do, based on the dog's needs. Walks are always fun, too!

About: I have been helping my sister with this for a while, trying the app on my own! I also have been taking care of animals since I was a young one, my household was always filled with animals from fur babies to reptiles to fish. However, I didn't just grow up with pets, I learned how to bond with them and really understand what it means to care for an animal. From playful to shy, I meet every animal where they are at and give them the love and attention. I also have experience working with animals from my time spent working at a pet store. I am reliable, communicative, and treat every pal like family. Rest assured your pal is in safe hands! I have open availability. Caring for animals is a peaceful part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks or check ins, I make time for them. For me, spending time with animals keeps me grounded and joyful. It's more than a job, it something I look forward to day to day. My home is calm, clean, and filled with love - pets settle in pretty easily after the owner departs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, so your pal feels safe and secure. Whether they are here long term or just overnight every pal gets treated with 10/10 care!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 10 years old and raised them since they were babies. I will treat your fur family as if they were my own. I am currently in school, but I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am available weekdays after 2pm and weekends. I have my own transportation. I am flexible and reliable. I will follow your rules. I will treat your fur family like one of my own!

“Alyssa was a great sitter, she followed all directions to the T. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures of our fur babies! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend ,thank you Alyssa for everything!🫶🏾”

“Jerrad is the absolute best. I truly have no words to describe how lucky I am to have met him through Rover. He is so caring and loving to my little dog. He is extremely reliable and understandable about unexpected situations. He will go an extra mile to make sure your pet is happy. My pup gets so excited when he sees him, it’s adorable! A million star review!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Neighbors, friends and family have allowed me to take care of their dogs for years. I currently have a 9 year old lab and had a lab for ten years before him. Currently I am available all day and every day of the week. I am looking for a new job doing something I love to do. We have a large backyard but it’s not fenced in. I can take the dog out on a leash if needed. There is a park near my house where I walk my dog every morning. My father and mother are both home and can give your pet extra love, attention and help when needed. I have a 7 year old male lab who loves everyone and is great with other animals.

“Heather did a wonderful job doing daily drop in visits for my two cats. She sent pictures and videos daily, and followed all of the instructions I left. I was able to relax knowing that my cats were being taken care of by someone who truly cares about animals. I highly recommend Heather!”

We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family. We do not accept pets with: 🚫 Aggression or reactivity 🚫 Destructive behavior 🚫 Ongoing house-training issues 🚫 Unsafe behavior around children 🚫 Excessive barking, howling, whining 🚫 Inability to be left alone briefly for long stays 🚫 Have owners who are unresponsive to urgent concerns 🚨 Undisclosed Behavior Fees: Severe Separation Anxiety: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Excessive Barking: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Aggression or Reactivity: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Unsafe Around Kids: Immediate pickup or $250/Night 💛 Why This Matters We’re calm, patient, and truly love caring for animals — but on rare occasions, we’ve had difficult experiences with neglectful pet owners that created unsafe or stressful situations. That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love.

Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been licensed and in practice for over 10 years now. I am able to administer medications at home. I love all animals and am willing to give your pets the best care while you are away! I have 10+ years working with all different kinds of animals in many different settings. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I will come to your house multiple times a day while dog/cat sitting. Unfortunately I am unable to provide overnight services at this time. I am also available to stop daily if you're going to be late from work or have a meeting. If you have any questions please ask! I am willing to work with any schedule! I am able to come 3 times daily during the week and 4 times on weekends. This is working around my full time job at the veterinary clinic. I leash walk all animals to ensure their safety unless there is a fenced in back yard. Very cautious as I am with my own pets!

About: Hey! My name is Alyssa. I currently have a full time job(police officer) and I understand the hassle of trying to find someone to walk my dogs while I am at work. Although I love my dogs, I do like to go away every so often and struggle to find dog daycares I trust. I treat my dogs (Titus/Leo) like my children and I will treat other peoples companions the same. I’m currently looking to give my awesome services to those who need them! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be free during the day hours 7am-9pm, making it easier for me to care for dogs during the day/ evening time. My dogs are walked 4-5 times a day and are fed twice a day. 2 of the daily walks tend to be atleast one mile or longer if the weather permits. My dogs have an abundance of toys and get a toy everytime I go to the store.
