About: There has never been a time in my life where I was not a doting caregiver for at least one dog in my home. I am proficient in any tasks included in caring for any canine! This includes poop scooping, accident clean-up, brushing, adhering to feeding and walking schedules, and more. I am also open to, and comfortable with, medical situations such as administering medications or accommodating the needs of a disabled/older dog. Above all else, I challenge myself always to allow dogs, and all animals, to find a space of comfort around me. I volunteer several times a week caring for dogs at local animal shelter, and I will soon be seeking employment there. This opportunity has allowed me to gain experience being comfortable with dogs of varying sizes and temperaments on walks and maintenance. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and right now work part-time in pharmacy, and part-time at the animal shelter while making time for Rover bookings. With that being said, my schedule is pretty flexible! Both my workplaces are very understanding that my schedule can be odd and adjustments can and will be made to provide the best care possible for your pet(s). Due to the presence of one dog who does not like strangers at my home, I only offer dog walks and drop-ins currently! I have worked in a variety of home environments and am willing to work in any situation. My phone is on at all times for owner concerns, and I am willing to send pictures of the animal at request! I strictly follow rules and guidelines pertaining to animal care, and aim to make it a comfortable and positive space for me, the animal(s) and the owner at all times.

About: For several years I owned a Doggy B and B where the dogs were part of my family. There were no cages or crates which the owners really appreciated. They slept in bed with me, jumped and lounged on all the furniture, watched TV, ate plenty of homemade treats, went swimming in the pool and don't forget the car rides to the park and river. Every weekend I would shop for new, safe and tough toys. We celebrated holidays and birthdays with homemade pupcakes, presents and costumes. They also got a "report" card saying how their day was and what they did that day or weekend. There were lots of pictures taken and shared too. Areas and toys were thoroughly inspected each day to ensure a safe and fun playtime. I love pets! All kinds of them. Your pet will get my undivided attention. I bring toys & treats plus send lots of pictures while you're away. That way you can enjoy our pawty too. Since I can't have pets in my home, I'll come to your pet's home. I care for them like they are mine. Give them lots of pets, play with toys inside & outside, walk them on a leash several times a day, watch TV with them & most importantly, share the bed at night. I want your pet to feel comfortable & loved by me.

About: I am an outgoing, active, and loving person who prides herself in going above and beyond for animals and people. I aim to please and make the time away from your animals as easy as possible with no worries on the attention and care they get from me. I am currently a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and can fit anything into my schedule. I would like to keep my clients close to home for emergency purposes and also to keep costs down for everyone. I have a clean background and run a small zoo in my home. 5 dogs, 1 cats, 3 pythons, 1 turtle, 1 leopard gecko, 3 fish tanks. I have a broad experience taking care of animals of all kinds. Including farm animals. I thrive on routine and promise to keep your animals on theirs. Trust and the care of your pets is number one.

About: I've lived around dogs for most my life, with a range of sizes and needs. From small Pugs who snore the night away to Great Danes who think they are still a puppy. Have a high energy pupper who needs someone to keep up no worries. Currently I work part time until August 19th when I go back to the classroom. But until that time I'm mostly available all week long. I'm mostly looking at doing walks and check ins at this time as I have a number of home projects that would make boarding difficult.

About: I have experience in working in a vet clinic and on a local farm of large animals. I have been trained to minister care for all cats/dogs of all breeds/sizes.

About: Throughout my life I have cared for two cats and a Bichon-Frise/Poodle Mix. I was involved in caring for my dog from the day he came to us: showing him how to use stairs within those first couple of days and teaching commands for the next couple of years. Inevitably he aged, and over time I developed a familiarity with handling the many facets of caring for an aging dog: arthritis, anxiety, mobility challenges, and mood shifts. I learned the tricks for keeping him calm in the car, and those for getting him to take his medications. In all those years I consistently played with him in our fields, took him for walks, and ignored his grouching when I bumped him in his sleep. I love all animals very much, but as an innately energetic person, and as someone who is convinced (like most) that I had the best dog in the world, I find I bond most quickly and most deeply with dogs. I would be thrilled to meet yours. I am a recent college graduate looking for work while I job search. During the day I apply to jobs on my computer. Then, at night, I apply to jobs on my computer. My schedule is almost entirely open. In general I do my best to follow the pet's pace/lead, prioritizing the animal's comfort whenever possible. I follow provided schedules in a regimented manner, and if a schedule is not provided, then I will develop one myself. I take things like medication management and potty breaks very seriously, aware that when an owner is gone, pets are often stressed, and this stress can exacerbate pain and/or behavioral struggles. Regardless of the weather I am always happy to move and be active, so regular walks/exercise with pets is no trouble. As a pet lover, quality time is never an inconvenience either. I am more than thrilled, if your pet is more of a lounger than a runner, to just sit with them and relax.

Miles W.
“Hello, Miles is a very conscientious pet caregiver, he has grown up helping us raise dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, on our small hobby farm. We showed our turkeys and goats for 3 years at the 4H fair in Centreville and he was very mindful of the care and cleanliness of our 4H clubs animals, plus some of the turkeys one year when they looked hungry and stressed. He seems to read the animals body language and knows how to approach them. He helped save a baby bird once as well and turned it loose when was ready. He takes excellent care of our animals, he actually carried his turkeys to the show pen at the fair! He is a very on hands pet sitter, absolutely makes sure the pets are clean, comfortable and that they are safe.”
