About: This Fur-Mommy LOVES doggies! I am a fur mommy to mixed breed loving 5 month old puppy. I’ve had many dogs in my past who have all lived to be old and grey. I have one small child who is at school during the day who also loves doggies probably the most out of all of us. . I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible leaving plenty of time to care for the fur babies.. My yard is large enough to allow your bigger doggie to run wild and small enough that your small dog won't get lost. I've had dogs my entire life. I'm really good with giving them attention and I love to take them on walks (great exercise for me and them!) I also do great with dogs with special needs. So if your puppy needs to be carried, I'll carry them. My home is extremely dog friendly, your doggie will love coming to visit me. For those who are worried about the multiple pups in the home, I’m Happy to do a meet n greet to ensure that we all mesh well. We can also work something out if you'd rather it only be one dog around your dogs. I’m a dual careerist who works from home. Because I’m a realtor, I’ll occasionally have to pop out but I’m usually home for most of the day. My household is up early and up late. Perfect for any fur baby schedule. I’m a planner so If I’m going to be gone for the weekend or any specific day - my calendar will reflect that information. I have an extremely clean and nice size backyard. Perfect for fetch or simply running in circles. I’m a neat person. Paws will be wiped and lotion applied after playing outside, noses will get some cocoa butter balm to keep them soft, and a light brushing to keep this fur clean of debris.

About: I’ve had the privilege to be a friend to many furr babies. I love to hang out with dogs and spend time at the dog park. I have a lot of love for the babies Very flexible at the moment. Don’t hesitate to reach out to see if I’m available last minute! Weekends are here and there but it never hurts to ask! I have a fenced in yard and live 1 mile from a dog park which I frequent. I have 2 dogs of my own who get along with others very well! If needed, crates are available. There are endless toy options for everyone! I struggle with trust in someone who’s looking after my babies when I’m not with them. I want to provide the ease of mind while caring for your babies when you’re not.

About: I love animals and animals seem to dig me too. I grew up around many small to large dog breeds and I am a mother of a 10 year old Pomeranian named Baby and a fluffy Persian cat named Soda. Trust that I will cater to your dogs needs-even the silly wants too. Skills: senior pet care, attention to detail, communication, patience, ability to say no to puppy eyes, playful, safety first mindset. Im a part time worker now and if you let me know in advance I can make time for that. Please dont feel shy to ask. At home my cat and dog love each other and cuddle a lot but if your pets dont get along like mine did at first then I am perfectly equipped to separate them and care for them individually.

About: I have experience taking care of two dogs in my home every day. I feed them, bathe them, take them outside, and give them their medicine on time when needed. I am very patient, responsible, and attentive with pets. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Right now I’m a high school student. I go to school from 7:30 AM to 2:30PM. After that, I’m available from 2:30PM until around 10:00 PM to walk dogs. I have a flexible schedule after school, so I can fit walks into the owner’s needs and make sure your dog gets attention, exercise, and a good daily routine. I provide a safe and calm environment for dogs. I have a fenced yard where dogs can stay safely under supervision. I also have experience with dogs and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My main goal is to make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and happy during their walk and time with me.

I love to go for walks so I could Deff help with walking your pet and even feeding them. I currently have a full time job. My hours are 7:55- 3:30 so I could Deff help out later in the Evenings and on weekends. We have a fenced yard to make sure our doggies have a big backyard to run around in but also keep them safe. I will do whatever to keep your fur baby safe.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs and now raising two pups of my own—ages 10 and 2, both with us since they were tiny, wiggly puppies. I also would dog walk during my teenage years for my entire neighborhood. I’m all about keeping pets happy and active, whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or giving all the belly rubs they can handle. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I love making every pet feel right at home. After 11 years as a stay‑at‑home mom, I’m now in a new season where all of my kids are in school during the day—giving me plenty of open, flexible time to focus on pet care. I’m used to managing busy routines, staying organized, and being fully present, and now I get to put that energy into caring for other families’ pets. With a quieter house and a wide‑open daytime schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions exactly as they’re given, because every animal has their own routine, needs, and comfort zone. Whether it’s feeding, walking, medications, or house rules, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own—keeping things tidy, secure, and calm so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Hello, I’m Jose, a proud Marine veteran who’s had pets all my life—especially dogs. I understand the importance of reliable, responsible, and compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Currently, I have three German Shepherds who keep me on my toes, and I know exactly how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dog when you’re away. With my military background, I’m highly disciplined, organized, and focused on providing the best care. Whether it’s taking your dog on a long walk, keeping them active with fetch, or simply giving them attention and cuddles, I ensure they’re always in safe hands. My experience with my own dogs has given me valuable insights into different dog behaviors, needs, and training techniques. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll provide personalized care for your pet, keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel comfortable and loved in your absence. Here’s an updated pet care experience for Rover that incorporates your work schedule: I understand how important it is to have flexibility when it comes to pet care. My work schedule is Thursday night into Sunday mornings, so I’m available to care for your pets all day Sunday through Wednesday. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medications, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs during those days. My consistent availability during the week ensures your pet receives personalized, dependable care without the stress of interruptions. You can count on me to provide the same level of reliability and care that I give my own pets, ensuring they’re well-cared-for and happy. Whether your dog or cat needs companionship, exercise, or just a peaceful place to rest, I’ve got it covered! Even for boarding, I can make it work out even when I’m not home that your pet is taken care of. Note: Right now I am off work due to an injury and won’t be back until July. So I have more availability. With three German Shepherds of my own, I know how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for pets. I treat my animals like family, and I offer the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I live in a spacious single-family home with a fenced yard, providing your pet with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether it’s a game of fetch or some free time in the yard, I ensure they have the space to stretch their legs. When it’s time to rest, I provide a peaceful, comfortable playpen where your pet can recharge for the next round of fun. Safety is my top priority. I have cameras set up throughout the house so I can monitor your pet when no one is home, ensuring they’re always safe and content. Whether they’re playing in the yard or napping in their playpen, I’ll always be able to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re well taken care of. With a reliable and loving home environment, I’ll provide the same quality care and attention to your pet as I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will feel right at home with me—safe, secure, and treated with the care they deserve.

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 16 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have had many dogs from small ones to big ones. I learned how to train puppies, and take care of senior dogs — since I have had a few of my own! I am currently working part-time, so don’t worry about reaching out to me about when I am available. I usually respond back pretty quick unless I am at work. I am fine with any hour of the day as long as I am not working :3 I dont offer boarding unfortunately since my current living situation has roommates, and we have pets already. They are all friendly, but I don’t want to push the boundaries until we have moved into our new home.

Really appreciated Tenisha being available last minute to watch my dogs while I had to head out of town for a day. Huge stress reliever to know my babies were left in good hands! She did well working with my skiddish baby, King, as he’s extremely cautious of people. Thanks again!
