About: I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I was a little kid. I love them so much! Growing up I’ve always helped friends and family watch their animals for them. As an adult, I work in animal care as my career. I help provide medical care, run play groups, take fun walks, and spend quality time with these wonderful animals. My heart is dedicated to caring for these beautiful animals. To me, pets are family, and nothing is more important than family. I will provide the best care for them so you do not have to worry about your pets whether you’re at work or on vacation. My available days are Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. I am available at any time and for as many visits or walks that are needed on those days. I’m here to help you! 😊 To me, you’re home is you and your pets safe place. I treat each pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I make sure to make a very soft vocalizing entrance so to not stress your dog(s) out when I enter. Whether you want me to take them out for a nice fun walk or simply just check in on them and let them out into a backyard, your dog(s) will never be left alone, not even for one second. Every minute from start to finish is quality time with them. I am also very comfortable providing medications. I also i’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and help clean up an accident that may have happened from a dog that is not housebroken yet. You just let me know what you need and I will go above and beyond providing it.

About: Hi! I'm a certified elementary teacher with 10+ years of experience caring for children. During summer break I am excited to bring the same care and attention I bring to my classroom to your pet! As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and will keep you updated along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have a good amount of flexibility for your pets needs. If you need daily check ins, walks, feedings, or just are looking for someone to give your pet some extra attention and love, I am free to do so! I am very open to learning about your pets comfortable environment and providing them care in the comfort of their own home. I currently am not sitting pets in my home but am happy to come to yours!

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

About: I've raised animals, mammals and reptiles mostly, my entire life. I'm known amongst my friends and family as "snow white", because creatures of all kinds seem to enjoy my presence to a strange degree, something I'm very grateful for. The well-being of your pet is my number one priority, I am attentive and detail oriented in my care style. If your pup is up for it, I can run around the backyard with your dog for hours on end! I currently work full-time at AllPaws Retreat, where I manage groups of 30+ dogs at a time; reading body language, redirecting energy, gentle behavior correction, capturing momentary obedience training opportunities, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments is the bulk of my day. In a client's home, water bowls will be kept full, any accidents will be cleaned as soon as possible, and I will adhere to your desired feeding schedule. If you have a backyard or a private outdoor area, I will gladly spend time with your pet there, making sure they don't get too scratched up or dehydrated from play. I will be in contact with you throughout the duration of the sitting period. Daily fun pictures will be sent! I will mention concerns over noticed behaviors that seem out of the ordinary or indicative of possible health conditions. My work schedule is very fluid, if you give me two weeks prior notice I can even clear my previous work schedule for your convenience. My two cats are fed twice a day, with their box being cleaned every morning and night. My youngest child, a ball python of 5 years is currently on medium sized rats, which he gets approximately every 2 weeks At a client's home, I will make sure to stay within designated animal areas if you so desire, keep the animal hydrated and fed as needed (also according to your desired feeding schedule) Any bathroom accidents will be cleaned by my own hand asap, taking care of animals is in my blood.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent the last 5 years helping friends and family care for their pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. My goal is simple: a happy dog, regular updates for you, and peace of mind while you’re gone. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can work with a variety of schedules. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

About: Hello! My name’s Mary, I love animals and have had professional experience taking care of pets. I worked at a doggy day care as a manager for a year and a half. I also boarded dogs and walked them there, working with all different breeds big and small! During my time at the daycare I became dog cpr certified, have handled dog fights, cleaned wounds, and administered medication! I have my own Rottweiler, Maple who is quite the handful herself :) I’ve worked on farms caring for all different types of animals which included large guard dogs so I have comfortability and knowledge of all sizes! I love providing enrichment activities during drop in visits and boards. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own, with love and care! I have a job in the afternoon and the evenings so I have open availability in the mornings and on most weekends for walks and stays! Unfortunately I do rent a house that doesn’t allow pets but I am more than capable and willing to drive to the house of the pet and or wherever you would like them walked!

About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and two friendly cats in the home. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, etc! I currently have two cats — Bodhi and Mani — who I love more than words. (Don’t worry, they have an automatic pet feeder, water fountain, and interactive camera that I can talk to them through when I’m on house sitting stays!) I have experience with senior cats and how to administer medication to them to balance thyroid levels, manage diabetes, chemo, etc. I had a 16-year-old cat recently pass from Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disorder, so I know how important hydration is for our feline friends. Especially of the male variety. **I respectfully ask that you do not ask me to accept payment off the app during our first Meet & Greet. I provide M&Gs free-of-cost to new clients. It sucks (and is a waste of time/money) when a potential client decides not go with me because I won’t “just take Venmo”. It’s important for me to establish a relationship with a family first through the app, for my own safety and guarantee of payment. Plus, Rover provides insurance for both parties using the fees they incur. Please keep this in mind if insurance is an issue for you. Thanks!! :)** I recently quit my 9-5 job to focus on pet sitting full time. I have no human children, so my time is very flexible! I currently don’t accept boarding requests. But when I’m in a clients home.. I am respectful of their belongings, which rooms are needed for access during each stay, security cameras/systems, bathrooms/showers, food (I bring my own unless you tell me to help myself, then I might eat your kids’ mac n cheese 😃), pet gates, incoming mail, outgoing trash, door and garage codes, etc.
