About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both cats and dogs, and I’ve been caring for my own pets ever since I’ve been out on my own. I currently have three beloved cats who are truly part of the family. During the school year, I work as a mental health therapist with elementary-aged children, and I also see clients in my private practice in the afternoons. This summer, I have extra time during the day and evenings and would love to spend it helping care for your furry family members! I’m dependable, attentive, and deeply understand the emotional needs of both people and pets. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a daily walk, or just someone to check in and make sure everything is okay, I’d be honored to help. Let’s chat about how I can support you and your pets this summer! I am available during the weekdays until 3:00pm and in the evenings after 7:00pm. I have more flexibility on the weekends and could stay overnight if needed. I will follow your directions when it comes to caring for your pets. A list of instructions can be super helpful. I want to make sure you feel comfortable leaving them in my care.

About: Hi, I’m Tahj! For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of house and pet sitting, and it’s been a truly rewarding experience.

Whether your pet is small and spirited or large and lazy, I’m passionate about providing attentive care and making sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. Let’s connect—I'm here to help and have some fun with your pets! I currently work full-time and am using Rover to supplement my income.

I always stick to the owner's rules to keep things safe and sound, and I’m more than happy to go the extra mile to make sure both your pets and your property are well taken care of!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. I have relatives that are close by that can let the dog out while I am at the office. I have a fenced in backyard that allows your dog to run around and get exercise. Your dog has free range of the house. A fenced in backyard allows them to run around and get exercise. They will be crated as little as possible.
