About: Hello! My name is Megan. I have both professional and personal experience caring for animals. I have previous work experience at a dog grooming salon where we also occasionally groomed cats. I can do basic grooming such as brushing, baths, ear cleaning, and nail trims. I do offer nail trimming and filing, as well as 15-30 minute brush outs. Brush outs are great for in-between grooming appointments to ensure your pup doesn’t get any uncomfortable matting! For these services I try and take a “fear-free” approach with lots of snacks, treats, and favorite toys for distraction and motivation. I don’t use any restraints, other than body positioning if needed, and aim to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Working with animals is my true passion and I would love to care for your fur babies! I had my first family dogs when I was 12 years old. Two labradors named Buddy and Shadow. I currently own one 3 year old black lab mix, Dexter. I have also owned cats for nearly my whole life! I currently have a 1.5 year old kitty named Helena. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to two boys. My schedule is currently pretty flexible. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings I’m typically unavailable until 10:30am, but with some notice I can usually work to accommodate your schedule. I am currently available for nail trims and brush-outs, walks, drop-ins, or sitting at your home. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I will love your fur baby as if they were my own! For more information about my services or to discuss your pet's needs, please don't hesitate to message me. I look forward to hearing from you!

About: I have had animals apart of my life since I was born! Although we do not currently own any pets since we love to travel we love taking part of pet sitting and dog walking! We started asking our neighbors if we could spend some time with their pups after seeing our son was scared of dogs as a simple way to help introduce him into the world of joy that comes with owning a dog. And throughout the process we got to meet so many different dogs and fell in love with learning all the different personalities and quirks each dog had. Since my fiancé and I both work from home we thought why not look into doing this more regularly! Which lead us to joining Rover! So here we are ready to help our neighbors with any of their pet needs! Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies! From my pack to yours, I can’t wait to hear from you! It's important to note that every pet is unique, and their individual needs may vary. Owners should tailor their routines to accommodate their pet's specific requirements, age, breed, and health conditions. Flexibility and adaptability are key to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pet within your daily or weekly schedule. Initial consultation: Meet with the client to discuss their pet's routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. Take note of emergency contact information and inform the client about your availability. Maintain the pet's routine: Stick to the pet's established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication administration, if required. Consistency helps reduce stress for the pet. Safety and security: Ensure that the home is secure and that the pet cannot escape. Keep an eye out for potential hazards, such as open windows, toxic substances, or small objects that the pet could ingest. Exercise and play: Provide the pet with sufficient exercise and mental stimulation according to their needs. Take dogs for walks, engage them in play, or follow any specific exercise routines requested by the client. Food and water: Follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available. Monitoring and interaction: Spend quality time with the pet, offering companionship, affection, and socialization. Observe their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, reporting any concerns to the client.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.

About: Hi my name is Asia. I’m really excited to have extra income but I’m more in it for the loving animals. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets to care for. I have two bearded dragons, two cats, one dog, and one fish. In the mornings I go to the gym and after I’m pretty much open throughout the day until school starts, which is in the beginning of January. Feeding and watering animals,Playing with them and keeping them company, Walking the dogs, Grooming and brushing the animals' coats, Changing the cat's litter box, Providing health care if necessary. Giving them affection, so they don't feel abandoned after their owner leaves.

About: I have been around and raised animals of all kinds from the start of my life. I love animals! I currently have 4 dogs, a 20lb doxie mix, a pit mix, mountain curr, and great pyrenees. I am comfortable with all breeds and size of dogs. I also have a spoiled inside cat, and an 11 year old barn cat that is spoiled for being outside, but he hates being inside, so he stays where he is happy. Growing up my family raised Rottweilers that the parents were police dog trained, so I learned at a young age how to train dogs. I have taken care of all kinds of animals from lizards to birds to horses and cows and of course dogs and cats and about everything in between. I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly during the week, but if you become a regular, I could fit in weekens too if needed. Just ask me. As of now, I am only going to do dog walking and drop in for dog or cat. My yard isn't fenced so I won't have day care until I get things set up better. I will walk your dog with whatever collar or harness you have for them and I can bring my own leashes or use yours. I'll make sure to not have them on concrete or asphalt too much if it is hot so their paws don't get hurt.

“Super easy to get in contact with and worked with our schedule changes easily! She was great :) I’m sure my dog was very happy! Thanks again!”

About: I've owned a cat for 10 years now and in those years I taught her how to sit and high five. I also grew up with animals in my household since I was born. I've sitted my grandpas dog for a week at his house while he was away and took care of my moms dog for a weekend. I also volunteered at a few shelters, the most recent one being NAWS. I just got a new job so my schedule for January is currently unknown. They still need to get back on me for the date that ill start but itll be 5 days a week for 8 hours a day when it does. While I'm at the client's home I would treat their pets as if they were my own. In my household I always make sure to spend as my time with my cat as I can. With my cat I fill up her bowl and when it gets low I usually fill it once more, this is because she doesn't eat much in a day and never finishes. If the client has a certain feeding schedule I would make sure to feed the animal at the times the client requires. With a dog I would take them on walks atleast twice a day, if the client doesn't have a yard or has a certain walk schedule for their animal I would take them on as many walks as needed. With cats depending on how long the client is gone I will make sure the litter is cleaned once a day and replace it every week.
