About: Hi! I'm Rachel, a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet just needs someone dependable while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My passion for animals extends beyond pet sitting. I'm the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping animal shelters save more lives through technology, partnerships, and adoption support. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely care about every day. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while giving your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience. Experience giving medication, comfortable with senior pets and puppies, experience with anxious or shy animals. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is flexible! I'm happy to work with you on scheduling and I will give 2 weeks' notice when I plan to go out of town. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll take the time to learn your pet's schedule, feeding routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. Whether that's a long walk, a game of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I'll provide the care that's best for them. I know how important communication is, so I'll send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact you right away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind.
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. I'm reliable, attentive, and I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I've spent a lot of time around dogs with different personalities, from high-energy ones that need a lot of movement to more sensitive or anxious dogs that need a calmer approach. I pay attention to body language and try to make sure they feel comfortable and safe, especially in new situations. I'm pretty active and love being outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I'm also consistent and detail-oriented, so l'll follow your routine and instructions closely. I'll always send updates with photos so you know how things are going. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or just someone calm and reliable, l've got it covered. I work part-time so I am flexible with my availability. I control my own schedule and usually can accommodate last minute pet needs. I can also do regular, repeat schedules. I focus on keeping dogs calm, safe, and comfortable by paying close attention to their behavior and energy. I follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you have. I’m confident handling strong or high-energy dogs and make sure walks are controlled and structured. I’m also respectful of your home and will always keep things clean and secure. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, so understanding their personalities and needs comes naturally. I've walked and cared for rescue dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels at the dog shelter I've volunteered in. I've also dog sat for friends and family over the years, and have even helped care for Rover clients' dogs on behalf of friends who were sitters. These experiences have taught me how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, consistency, and lots of affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, energetic playtime, or simply relaxing with good company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. I'm employed full-time, but I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can work from home when needed to provide attentive care for your pup. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I intend to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. An added bonus is that my wife, who's an even bigger dog lover than I am and has owned dogs throughout her life, is home during the day. That means your pup will have extra companionship, supervision, and lots of affection while staying with us. On weekends, we're both home and can dedicate our full attention to keeping your dog active, happy, and comfortable. The best care comes from keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're already familiar with. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, walking routine, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and any special instructions you provide. If your dog has medications, dietary restrictions, or favorite toys and activities, I'll make sure those needs are met. I enjoy playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they get both physical activity and time to relax. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll send regular photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs at a time. My parents currently love a 5 year old German shepherd, an 8 year old English shepherd, and an 8 year old Staffordshire terrier. I myself now love a 2 year old Irish setter doodle that I have well trained with my boyfriend, and a 3 year old orange tabby kitten! I work in the medical sales industry, so no two days are the same. I usually don’t have a full day however, so if I’m scheduled with your pet, they have my full attention! I currently love a 2 year old male Irish doodle puppy and a 3 year old female orange tabby kitten. They are very friendly with each other and everyone who visits. We think it's important to have rules and structure so they are both trained and well behaved but thoroughly loved and cared for. l am comfortable with putting dogs in crates, letting them out, feeding, and administering medication if necessary; really whatever attending to their normal schedule.
About: I grew up with German Shepherds in my home all my life. I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was a teenager for friends, teachers, and family. Dogs have ranged from Shih Tzu's to Bernese Mountain Dogs. I am very active, so walks and playing with the animals is not a problem. I work from home three days a week, so dog sitting or dog walking fits into my schedule. On the two days I go into the office, I am able to be home by 5:30pm. I am very flexible and willing to work with my clients to ensure their pets are taken care of within the timeframe they need. I will be very attentive to your pets needs when house sitting and walking them. I would provide them with food, fresh water and companionship in addition to taking them for walks and getting them excursive.

About: My grandmother drilled the importance of treating all life with respect and dignity, and through that I have learned to love all forms of pet-life. I want to ensure that you are at ease when important life events arise, and you need to leave the most vulnerable members of your family. I've been taking care of animals, primarily cats and dogs, since I was 10 and I hope to have the privilege of caring for your pet too :) I work part-time as a barista and spend the rest of my time caring for my own pets, pursuing hobbies of mine, and studying for school. This leaves me with ample time to get to know new animals, their personalities, and to provide them with all the love they desire. A big part of pet-care is communication between 3 parties; the owner, the sitter, and the pet themselves. I'll adhere to any schedules and rules established by YOU, I'll respect the boundaries of your pet, and I'll bring my 100% to be your animals best advocate and friend. Your pet will be supervised all of the time, I'll provide daily update videos in cases of travel, and I may sneak them a treat or two as a bribe.
About: I love animals and believe their a wonderful companion for everyone! Dogs are my favorite "people" and if you listen to them they will tell you a thing or two! One of my favorite pets as a child was Smoky our families fluffy German Shepard/husky mix, she loved to play ball and roll in the dirt! I've had many pets along the way and love all animals!! I've helped many of my friends and family with theirs as well with walking, feeding, bathing and sitting! Presently I'm working part time as an independent housekeeper and my teenage son is away with his father on the weekends so my schedule is very flexible! I can care for your pet in your home, feeding, bathing, walking, playing, crating. I'm an honest and compassionate person that understands the importance of schedules.
