Robert is amazing, flexible and willing to help more than just walking the dog. When I had to deal with issues when I was in the hospital, he stepped up and was a blessing. I think my dog likes him more than me.

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

About: I have experience taking care of a Doberman in the past for 2 years. I’m very familiar with homes with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs at a local shelter. I work full time Monday through Friday so the best time for me is the weekend. You can go on your weekend getaway with a peace of mind. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I will follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize each pet’s comfort and security, and ensure constant supervision and responsible care.

About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated animal experience, not just a casual interest. I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of 13, giving me a full decade of hands-on familiarity with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Beyond household pets, I bring a unique level of capability honed by my time as a farmhand, where I gained invaluable experience caring for a variety of animals on a working ranch. This background ensures I'm not only comfortable and confident managing larger breeds or those requiring specific routines, but I also approach pet care with a heightened sense of responsibility, awareness, and maturity. When you entrust your furry family member to me, you're hiring someone with instinct, professionalism, and genuine love that comes from a life spent caring for animals. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at any given time. This practice allows me to perfectly integrate their specific feeding, walking, and play schedules into my daily routine, ensuring every pet receives my full focus and attention, just as if they were my own. Whether caring for your companion in your home or mine, my primary goal is consistency and comfort. I strictly adhere to your pet's established routine—from scheduled feedings and walks to timely medication—ensuring a stress-free experience. If I stay in your home, I treat your property with complete respect. My ranch background guarantees I'm adept at subtle health monitoring, so you can be confident your pet is not only receiving plenty of focused cuddles but is also safe, stable, and well-cared for at all times.

About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks ! I am a babysitter and figured this could also be a fun task with something i enjoy doing as a broke college student. Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will ! I can crate or take them out whenever is needed

About: I’ve taken care of all different kids of pets since I was about 13 years old. I’ve done it for neighbors, friends, family. I am active and like to play around and run with them! I also can just sit and chill with pets and I love just petting them and making them feel comfortable. I have 2 dogs, and 3 cats, so I’m always around animals! I am working part time so I have a lot of free time right now! Sundays I have church but I can go before or after it! I can do mornings as early as 6:30am, and evenings no later than 11. I am respectful and honest and I will take care of whatever pet in whatever home to the best of my ability. I will do my best to keep them safe and comfortable!

About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

About: I’ve spent the past 12 years not just caring for pets, but truly knowing them. I’m the kind of sitter animals trust instinctively. My focus is drop-in visits and dog walking, because I believe quality time, gentle presence, and routine care are what matter most. I’ve worked with everything from energetic pups to senior dogs, who just need a quiet, comforting visit. Whether I’m popping in for a potty break or heading out for a walk, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is woven into every part of my day. I don’t clock in and out, it’s just who I am. I’m home full-time, so I’m available throughout the day for walks and drop-ins. I care for our own dog daily with consistent routines, gentle presence, and responsive attention. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, or a walk to burn energy, my schedule and heart are wide open. This isn’t a side hustle, it’s my rhythm, my joy, and my focus. When I step into a client’s home, I bring quiet confidence and calm energy. I respect routines, follow care instructions closely, and make sure each pet feels safe in their familiar space. Whether it’s a quick potty break, feeding time, or a walk around the block, I’m focused on your pet’s comfort, security, and happiness. I clean up after visits, lock up carefully, and communicate clearly, so you never have to wonder how things went. This is care built on trust, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work nights. Pets in my care are never left home alone—there’s always someone around to give them attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure their needs are always met, no matter the schedule. I keep a clean, calm environment and always make sure pets have fresh water, a cozy spot to relax, and plenty of supervised attention and cuddles.

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

About: I am new to pet sitting for the public, but I’ve always loved dogs and have had several of my own. I don’t view this as just another way to make money— I think it’s an exciting opportunity to care for your special pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust pet sit. I’ve had experience with my own dogs for years and I have always a special place in my heart for them. There’s no better job to have than one you’re passionate about! I am currently babysitting part-time, leaving me free to dog sit most weekdays until 2:15 and all day on most Mondays. I am hoping to have a fuller schedule! I am able to keep your dog inside only if kept in a crate. A long cable outside in my backyard will be another option if you’d prefer your dog have more space to play! I have a young lab (not a quite year old yet) but I will be able to keep them separated.
