About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and now that I’m in the BEST years of that life (retired) I am able and ready to share all of my love and experience with new dogs and people! Although I can’t stay the night in your home, I CAN drop in, feed, play with, give snacks, even administer medication if needed, walk, and when it’s time for them to go to bed, make sure they are all tucked into bed. I can assure you that your fur baby will be loved and comfortable while your away- They will be treated with the love I give my own! As a retired person, I am living the dream, being a stay at home mom of fur children…let me love yours too! I am retired but my day starts with my three dogs at 5 in the morning, Everything I do revolves around them. They go out to use the bathroom then eat and come back in to sleep until around 7:30 then our actual day begins. Each Doodle goes on a mile and a half walk then my little pug, Sophia goes on her walk. Shes a senior so she only goes for as long as she can. This is a daily routine. They LOVE being outside so we spend almost all day outside on the patio playing when it’s nice…. They all love riding in the car so EVERYBODY at the bank, CVS, Dewars,Starbucks knows them by name. Where I go, they go! They have their spots in the car and they know their places. My kids are grown but I am definitely NOT an empty nester, they are my life and fulfill me 100%. For their safety with all the craziness happening in the world, as much as they love being outside, they are NEVER left outside when I am not home. They are brought inside and have been crate trained since they were 7 weeks old. It is their safe place and they love their crates. It’s where they sleep and where they eat too.

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for both cats and dogs. When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dogs hair and clip his nails. I have open availability so I can fit morning, afternoon, and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”

“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past two years and before that I had my own during childhood! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have short hours at work so I have plenty of time to walk and care for pets throughout the week! I’m also an early riser! My current roommate works long hours so I am the primary caretaker of his two dogs! I feel like their both our dogs at this point.

About: As a pet parent of eight years, I have extensive experience caring for specifically cats. However, I have experience dog sitting for my sibling—including caretaking for a two month old puppy. In general, my experience dog sitting consists of house sitting for multiple days in a row and two to three 1 hour walks per day for a single pet (much of my experience caretaking for dogs has been with high energy cattle dogs). Furthermore, I have experience pet sitting kittens. I love caring for our furry friends and would love to share my experience and passionate with the community! Currently, I am on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I’m available throughout the week including the weekends. Hope to hear from you soon :-) As a pet sitter, I follow the instructions given to me by clients to a T—only pivoting if instructed by the client or in case of an emergency. In cases of an emergency, the client will be contacted immediately and their pet will be taken to an emergency veterinary if necessary or as instructed by the client. The health and wellness of the client’s pet is of the utmost importance.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats since I was a kid whether that be family or friends. I’ve been around dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles etc. I currently work at an animal hospital in the boarding department so I care for people's fur babies on a day to day basis. I’m a full time kennel assistant at an animal hospital. My job is to maintain the health and wellbeing of people's pets while they are away. I like to take my cat out whenever I can. I feel like it’s very important for any and every animal to have environmental stimulation.

“First time using rover and Haley went above and beyond expectations to make us feel at ease leaving our cats alone while we visited family. The process was easy and fast, would definitely go through Haley again! We got wonderful pictures of our cats as well. We could not be happier with your service!”

If your dog prefers their own space I can accommodate them, but no aggressive or destructive dogs please.

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years now. Some more in past years. I have taken care of my friends and families pets for years now. Pets can be scared and intimidating but I know that with my love and patience with pets they do become comfortable with me. I work with kids, but my schedule is really flexible and I have breaks in between each client which gives me the opportunity to check up on pets. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. One of them is Charlie, a poodle/shih tzu, who is super sweet and the other dog is my sisters, who is a Rottweiler named Blue. Blue and Charlie are both sweet dogs. Blue is very energetic and playful and has never been aggressive as well as Charlie. Charlie mainly stays in my room in his kennel and Blue stays separated from the backyard and stays in the side area or in his kennel in the garage. All pets have always been separated but do give them opportunities to play with each other often and supervised.

About: I have a passion for pets and animals in general. I grew up always having multiple pets in the home, and have pet sat for neighbors and family members. I have some experience with administering medications to pets. I have multiple pets of my own currently cats and dogs - I have a large breed mix dog close to 90lbs so for the most part I can handle a bigger pet. Currently I am out of a job and looking. I am also trying to get more animal experience because I would like to find a career working with pets/animals and I aspire to get back into school to earn a degree that will also help me with this venture. So right now I have more free time than usual. I am familiar with crate training if that is something needed for your pet. I can easily understand and will follow any instructions needed for any pet. I care greatly about the safety of your pet, so depending on what is needed I will make the adjustments to ensure yours and your pets comfortability.
