I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

“Victoria was so attentive to my puppy and provided a BUNCH of pictures and updates. I was very nervous leaving my puppy with someone new for the first time, but Victoria was understanding and made it as smooth as possible. Jasper was in a great mood and slept really well that night after we got home. Will definitely be rebooking with her for regular walks.”

About: I love dogs and cats-my two pets are just like children. I have always had a pet and I enjoy wet dog noses, puppy breath, and kitty purrs! I will treat your fur-babies just like family and make sure they are happy and cared for. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I keep a very organized schedule. I took a long break from Rover due to training and activities with my own dog, COVID shutdowns making everything difficult, etc. I will be offering services during the times of early mornings, evenings and weekends as I do work a full-time job during the weekdays (during the day). I can provide trusted care for your pets-dogs on a leash, monitored playtime, and poop pickup for dog potty. If a pet has pottied or jumped water/food I can clean that up also.

About: Head out of town with the confidence that you furry one will enjoy excellent care. Our golden doodle loves to welcome guests. And our teenage son is here to take your dog on walks (we’re just off the Goshen millrace), play fetch in our back yard, and generally lavish attention on them. We offer seasonal times mostly. This is focused around times when our son is off school in order to give constant care. The adults also have flexible work schedules ensuring plenty of support for the rhythms of pet care. We keep a tidy home where your pet can relax and play. We make every effort to maintain the rhythms (exercise, feeding, etc) that your pet is accustomed to.

About: I grew up with cats & dogs. We always had at least two in our house as kids and I've owned lots and lots of pets with human names. Since I’m a teacher I am available all summer long. I am an early riser and can accommodate all times you may need for your pets My pets get walked four times a day and seem to be my mode of exercise. I can accommodate early and late hours in particular.

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own. I’m currently working part time and am taking college classes online at Western Governors University! I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats. We do not accept animals that have no experience with cats/ dogs not get along with cats. We also require meet and greets to provide the best care for your animals make sure our home is a good fit.

About: I've had cats and dogs growing up, and have loved taking care of them. I've pet sitted for neighbors the past couple of years, and have recently widened my customer range. I have cared for dogs of all ages, cats, and birds! I will have a part time job so there are days when I’m out of the house for 8 hours, but not super often. My weekends are pretty free typically! I head to college in late August, so I just have a few months to take care of animals. I try to care for pets as closely to how their owners do so they feel comfortable! I will happily play with them indoors or out, or just cuddle with them if that’s what they like. I can also crate them if that’s their safe place.

About: I’ve cared for 4 dogs and 2 cats from puppy/kitten to senior years, training and loving them every step of the way. I’ve also looked after neighbors’ pets—providing care, company, and play.

I know how to administer medications if needed and can help insure your pet is doing well while you’re away! I also have many different animals with different health conditions and ages in my own house so I am prepared for any situation! I have longer lunches at work to be able to stop by for visits on my lunch along with stopping before and after my shift and again before bed if needed!!

About: I've successfully adopted and trained a shelter dog named Eben. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to train dogs, how they think and how they view the world around them. This isn't just a job for me. This is a passion. It is my personal goal to keep dogs healthy, active and in their homes with loving families. My goal is to keep dogs out of shelters and off the table. I plan on doing this by helping YOU take care of your dogs by making sure they have exercise, enrichment, structured routines and structured play. I have trained a 2yr old dog and a 4 month old puppy in basic obedience, crate training, potty training, basic recall, proximity, socialization and leash walking. These are basic things i have done on my own with my own personal dog as well. I only supply healthy food and treats to any dog under my care, unless i am provided with it. Any special requests can be discussed. I am currently unemployed, however i am pursuing a part-time job as a junior dog groomer or animal specialist at petco, along with pursuing a career in dog training. At the moment, i have 24/7 availability for pet care. I bring a calm, loving, trusting and fun presence in order to build trust and a bond with any pet under my care. I can also help reinforce training regiments, diet plans, and other things. Your dogs will be walked, cuddled, played with and given mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and other things. I do have a friendly dog that can keep them company on they are aquainted with each other. I can also crate atleast 1 dog easily if it is needed, though i would prefer not to. Your dog will be monitored at all times under my care and will have frequent trips outside for potty, walks and sniffing sessions.

About: I’ve enjoyed watching some friends dogs espcially smaller ones. They are so sweet. I fed them, took them outside, played with them, and provided companionship while the owners were away. I am currently working 11-8 so could be there with the animals in the morning and evening. The animals would be well taken care of. I don’t have a place for animals at my home, but while watching my friends animals I made sure to leave quickly while they were distracted. I also made sure to have them put in their crate before leaving.
