About: Hi! My name is Skylar and I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. Caring for them has always been something I truly love. I have experience with dogs of all ages, especially senior dogs and dogs who need a little extra care. Over the years my family’s dogs have had a variety of health needs, so I’m very comfortable giving medications such as eye drops, oral medications, medicated shampoos, and other specialized care. One of our dogs had an eye disability, so I’m used to being patient and attentive to dogs who need extra support. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to provide lots of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I currently offer dog boarding and doggy daycare in my home, and I also offer pet sitting in clients’ homes. I’m very responsible, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I’m also happy to provide references upon request! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most of the week. This allows me to provide dogs with plenty of attention, supervision, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I enjoy having dogs around while I work and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for Pets are family and I like to treat every pet like part of my family whether they’re in my home or yours. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, & loved at all times. I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, & any medications they may need. I provide lots of supervision, attention, & affection throughout the day, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Carmen and Daniel were excellent dog sitters! I needed a sitter for my dog Queen while I was at work. They were so easy to work with and Queen loved her time with them! She was exhausted every night I picked her up because she got to play with their puppy all day. I will definitely bring Queen to them again and recommend them for anyone who needs their baby looked after!!

Nicole was a great sitter for my Queen! She was very communicative and is such a nice lady. Even when I had to stay late at work, she was fine watching Queen a little longer than planned. I recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby. Queen has gotten so much love from Nicole and her family which makes me feel great while I am away. Thank you so much, Nicole!

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover for years, caring for a variety of breeds for neighbors, friends, and family. As a former foster parent to several dogs before adopting one, I am experienced in helping pups of all temperaments feel safe and welcome in a new environment. Since I work from home, your pet will have constant supervision and companionship. I specialize in providing personalized attention to ensure your dog follows their usual feeding and exercise routine. My own well-trained dog is a friendly playmate for social guests, but I am also happy to provide solo time if preferred. Whether it's long walks or just snoozing by my desk, your pup will be treated like family. As a full-time work-from-home professional, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I structure my day around frequent potty breaks, backyard play sessions, and midday walks. Because I have experience fostering, I’m great at maintaining a consistent routine that helps guest pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet place to nap while I work, I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. Safety is my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure yard where dogs can play safely under my supervision. As I work from home and have fostered many dogs, I have developed expertise in monitoring pet interactions and interpreting body language to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. At home, I take a 'paws-on' approach. I am happy to use crates for sleeping or meal times if that is what your pet is used to, or they can lounge freely in my office while I work. I treat every guest pet with the same level of care and trust I give my own well-trained pup, ensuring a stress-free stay for both you and your furry friend.

About: hi my name is nicole. I live in a home in sterling and just looking for something to do on the side. I have a 1 year old and spring is around the corner and would love to plan activities to go out with your doggie/s and her. :) and we’d love a cuddle buddie in bed with us every so often for movie night.i used to have fur babies myself, sadly he and she passed away 2 years ago and im not ready to have another doggie just yet. did adopt a hamster but is in high reach :)… i live with my family and we could use some joy in our home. There’s someone always home to play with them and well me and my kid would love a fur baby without the REAL commitment just yet. 🤍 im currently working full time and part time! i work over night so my days are free until 6pm and i get off at 4 am. I’m off Sundays, Tuesday’s and Wednesday which would be best for over nights but my family is always home as well so fur babies would never be alone :) have space if you’d like your pets caged. i do have a yard, no fence. Live around a lot of trees! have a bird and hamster but are safely caged for having your dogs and cats visit! i also do go outside alot for my kid to ride her toy cars during the day and for her to get her steps in!

About: I stand out by offering patient, attentive, and personalized care for every dog. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and shy or anxious dogs, and I adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with basic training, medication support, and creating a calm, clean, and predictable environment. Every dog is treated like family, with consistent communication and genuine compassion. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pet always gets consistent attention. I’m home often and keep a flexible schedule, making it easy to accommodate different routines, special needs, or last-minute changes. Safety is my top priority. I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure spaces, supervised play, and a calm environment to help every dog feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations and always use leashes during outdoor time. Clear communication and daily updates ensure you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s well-being, comfort, and safety are always at the center of my care.

About: Hello! We’re Shannon and Jorge. We know how important it is to have a trustworthy dog-sitter, so we take the responsibility very seriously. Dogs love being at our house and enjoy all the cuddling and interaction they get here. We love dogs and try to make them comfortable and happy while they may be missing their owners. We’ve cared for so many different breeds, personalities, ages, a pregnant dog, and many puppies (including six that were born in our bathroom!) P.S. Chihuahuas are our favorite! Please note: Drop-offs before 7am will be an additional $15; Pick-ups after 3pm will be charged for an additional day. We are always caring for pets because we have two of our own. Every day of the week, our pets are part of our routine. We have a fenced yard and a comfortable living space for furry friends to roam. If they have a special diet, we can do custom meal plans as well.

About: I've been caring and loving animals since I was a little girl. Have no fear your new 🐕 lover is here to make sure that they have the best care! My 14 year old daughter wanted a job and I just thought since she loves animals so much she could try out rover! She will be supervised but I just wanted to have something for her to do on her free time. Plus she could watch animals and earn money at the same time so its a win win! I am home most of the time during weekdays I will let you know if you contact me and I won't be available. I'm very flexible. If your dog need care I'll do my best to help you so you don't have to stress. I'm home full time. I have a fenced yard. Its dog parks close as well as trails for nice long walks and talks while I care for your pup.

About: Pet sitting/walking is the best occupation, and I enjoy it on a daily basis. I am available to hang out and care for animals 24/7, which makes it perfect for pups or cats that need that extra attention. Rover is my full time job and I absolutely love what I do. I prefer to give dogs their needed exercise or leave them alone if they are feeling lazy. In either case they are always under supervision. Cats are also my specialty as I have been caring for cats my whole life. As a mature pet sitter, I believe it provides a certain level of trust for my clients, they rest assured their loved ones are taken care of by someone who understands. Cheers! :) I am available 24/7 to care for your furry children. I am available any time throughout days and evenings. We are very flexible with scheduling, don’t hesitate to ask for schedule modifications. We do not have fenced in yard but have trails and woods right nearby. W&OD trail is walking distance from my house. We walk daily for at least 3-5 miles, if the pup is excited to do so. We can crate or not. We allow the pups on furniture and treat them like family members.
