“Murphy is a high energy, sometimes overwhelming rescue. Callie worked with him over several visits to increase his flexibility to his surroundings and teach him behavior that will help him see more of the world. Even though exercise was more the mission than behavior training, Callie was able to convey calm discipline that allowed him to tap into other training he's had. It was a great job on Callie's part connecting and teaching him. Thank you from me and Murphy!!”

“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

About: First, I want to thank you for viewing my page! It means a lot, there are a ton of sitters here on Rover. I've been working with dogs since I was a kid, started doing it professionally in 2013 through local dog daycares and boarding facilities. In the past 6 years, I’ve studied canine body language and behavior, pet CPR, various common dog illnesses, and many medications and how to administer them. I’ve also been able to study and learn the best practice for puppy care and allowing them to grow into happy, social, well-behaved doggos. I love just generally spending time with pups! I’m happy to take your pup on walks, runs, hikes, car rides, and field trips to the local pet store! I have 3 dogs of my own ranging from every end of the social spectrum. I have 1 very social pup, a nervous-at-first but social girl, and my special boy - who fear bites and is dog-selective. So, I have experience with dogs of all ranges of socialization. Over the last few years, I took a break from pet sitting to work with Indy’s homeless pets at IACS, where I was the Foster Coordinator, caring for all ages of dogs, cats, and other furry critters! I’ve also spent much of my free time photographing pets professionally, which is definitely one of my favorite things to do! Currently, I am working full-time at a local emergency vet, where I am gaining medical knowledge and enhancing my hands-on skills. tldr; I'm here for you. Whatever needs you/your pet(s) have, let me help you with them! Even if you just need me to take your pup to and from daycare, the vet, or a quick trip to the pet store! Wedding chaperone/pet handler? I'm your girl! I’m currently working full-time at a local emergency vet, so I do have long days (10hr shifts) about 4 times a week. I am, though, able to leave for lunch and let pups out if needed! With over a decade of animal care experience, I am able to provide you with peace of mind that your pets are going to be safe and well-cared for while you’re away.
About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.
About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.
About: I started out working with horses at a small little barn in Newport NC. I have owned lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, and two horses (not collectively at the same time!). I worked at Petsense as well where I worked with animals on a consistent basis as well as throw adoption events. I work remotely from home so my schedule is always flexible to meet the needs of anyones fur babies. I have a normal Monday through Friday 8-4:30 but am able to assist through my shift. I do not have a fenced yard but I am extremely close to very nice walking trails. I live right next to the beach as well.
About: I love animals of all kinds! I will care for your pets as if they are my own when I am with them. I have owned dogs, cats and horses. I have taken care of a multitude of animals and catered to any special needs they may have: anxiety, medication, old age, loss of limbs, etc... You name it and I have done it. I’m very flexible with the needs of my clients! Just let me know what you need help with and we can get it taken care of. I have a large yard for your dogs to run and play. Also lots of good walking paths in the neighborhood. If I am in your home, I will take care of your animals as you would in their own environment.

About: Since early childhood I’ve had a love for animals. I partook in 4-H and FFA from age six to eighteen raising multiple animals. I’ve had multiple dogs in my home my entire life and have house sat for multiple families with multiple animals. I worked in animal husbandry as my first job and have been active since a very young age. I love walking and used to walk my dog Oscar to the river everyday. I recently moved to Hubert, and am working to finish my college degree. I’d love to get outside with some furry friends! Dogs will always hold a special place in my life even if I have to be states away from the dogs I grew up with. I’d love to provide other dogs with necessary, fun and lovable exercise! I’m currently attending Fresno State online. I have plenty of free time as I only have a part time job coaching gymnastics. I have my own vehicle and am used to having a thirty to forty five minute drive to work. I cannot currently house any dogs. I am very responsible when it comes to shutting gates behind myself and watching the door incase there are any escape artists. I have been around house pets and livestock my entire life. I’m always looking out for safety and wish to provide the best service.
