Caleb took Ty for his afternoon walk despite the wintry weather and did very best to keep him from eating the acorns he loves but really shouldn’t.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up caring for pets of my own as well as family members’ dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I especially enjoy spending time with small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Pet care will be my full-time focus, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I’ll be available throughout the day for walks, feedings, bathroom breaks, bathing/cleaning, playtime, and companionship, while following each pet’s individual routine and needs. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, grooming, and other needs while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I’ll take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routines and I’ll always approach them with patience and kindness so they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. I want every pet to feel happy, relaxed and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have owned dogs from goldens to Boston’s and helped take care of dogs of all sizes in between. We currently have two one year old cats, who turned me from tolerable to cats to adoring them in a short period of time. I work from home, except when traveling, which are typically 24-hr trips, during the week. I am happy to do drop-ins or stays depending on availability Your pets will be taken care of as if you were home. I will do everything I can to maintain the same routine from breakfast/lunch/dinner times, to walks and playtime.

Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.

About: Hi there- I'm an experience pet parent with one three year old Shih Tzu currently but have had two others who have passed. I’ve also had cats though I don’t have any currently. I love animals and believe they are one of the best gifts of life. I know first hand the stress of being away and worrying if your animals are being safely cared for and would be happy to help take care of yours. I'm available for outside dog walks, stop-in visits for a little play time and a treat, overnight visits in your home and/or longer-term care for vacations and holidays. I have tons of flexibility in my schedule and I’m happy to work around whatever is needed for you and your pet. I am also able to house sit to keep them comfy in their own environment if that’s what’s best for them. I am not currently accepting boarding in my home as I am renting. I am happy though to housesit and keep your baby where they are the most comfortable.

After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.

About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.

Michelle was excellent! She walked my two dogs twice in one day and even helped me deal with an unexpected visit from a service technician while she was at my home. She was very responsive and kept me updated on the pups. I highly recommend Michelle and will be booking again!
