Dog Sitting Trainer

About: I grew up with rabbits and various small pets. My first dog, Toto, was trained by me in elementary and middle school. Now, I spend my evenings caring for others animals whenever possible! I work 7:30 am to 3 pm as a teacher! My day does allow for a mid day visit, distance depending! Free every evening for walks and lots of attention! Experienced with crate trained dogs and more free range styles. Love building trust with animals and keeping their days typical and calm while their owners are away!

“Margaret is as nice as they come!! She showed up on time and took great care of Tank! She kept in touch with us and even sent pics. Not only would I recommend her but we will be using her services weekly.”

About: I’m comfortable around all dogs big and small. I’ve owned and taken care of them my whole life. I’m also currently volunteering at the spca. I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule so I’m able to take care of your pets during the day and after the average work day. I look forward to feeding, playing, and accommodating your pets needs. I’m flexible and I look forward to being a dependable source for your family.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for dogs, cats, and other companion animals, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for them. Whether it’s walks, playtime,, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule varies by the week. Sometimes I am around 24/7 other times I will be out of the house for up to 6 hours at a time. Reach out for availability. When your pet is in my care, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care based on their individual needs. I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. Whether your pet enjoys active play, relaxing companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to their well-being and behavior, and I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family, providing the care, respect, and kindness they deserve.

About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs, and am a current volunteer for multiple animal rescues. My joy is taking care of animals and making sure they are enjoying life to the fullest! My goal is to keep your animals happy while you need to be away, and providing you trust and reassurance your pet is in great hands. I work remotely from home which is a plus in providing 24/7 care. My schedule is flexible for potty breaks, dog walks, cat check ins, & feedings. I am available for dog/cat check ins while you’re away, daytime daycare, and overnights and boarding at my house (dogs only). For dog boarding, if your pup has special items that you feel would make their stay more comfortable, please feel free to send any additional items along (blankets, toys, dog bed, etc) I guarantee the safety of your pet, in your home or mine. For dogs, I ensure your dog is closely monitored and on leash when outdoors. For cats, your cat will be monitored and kept in your home. I will actively communicate with any concerns regarding your animal.

“Colleen is so great! We have a typically nervous pup who warmed up to her immediately. Colleen took the time to understand her and was patient with her. She made us feel comfortable leaving Sasha in her hands for her first time staying home alone. Thank you!! 😊”

“Linda takes great care of my 3-pet crew when I'm out of town. She really caters to my senior dog's likes and dislikes, and she also makes sure my 2 cats are cared for too. She is very dependable and I know they are well cared for and I don't have to worry. I especially love all the photos she shares since I always miss my fur babies when I'm gone!”

About: I always knew I wanted to work with animals, but it wasn’t until I started working at a kennel that I discovered my true calling: dog training. In September 2023, I made the decision to pursue this path seriously by attending National K-9 Dog Training School in Ohio, where I earned my certification as a professional dog trainer. Now, I’m proud to turn that passion into a career. I’m deeply committed to helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful relationships, and I love sharing my training methods to make a positive impact on both ends of the leash. I’m trying to get my small business out into the world and taking small steps like this will help me! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm available for boarding and weekdays. My schedule with my part time job changes each week but I make sure to let my clients know! I will ALWAYS be talking to your fur baby! They become family once entering this home. I currently live in an apartment that has a designated area to bring your dog to have fun off leash!

“Jeannette was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using the Rover App for a weekend away and I was very comfortable with leaving my dog in her care. She was very communicative, active with my pup, and just went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. Definitely recommend, Jeannette, 100%!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and did over night visits. For friends and family. I also have taken care of puppies that were 6 months. I’m currently working part time at Costco. I normally work night shift and have two days off. I could walk dogs in the morning or at night I normally feed them twice a day once in the morning and the other at night. I would walk them three or four times a day. I would then take them outside to either play or run around in a safe environment.

About: I have been around dogs since I was born, my parents have had a total of 6 dogs and 1 cat, which we fostered. I currently take care of a beagle/cocker spaniel mix and a boxer/lab mix, so I have experience with smaller and larger dogs. I am currently working a flexible part-time job. My Rover calendar is updated each week according to my weekly job schedule. I am able to accommodate walk times around my shifts. I endure safety depending on the owner, checking all windows, doors, and gates are locked 24/7. I keep the residency clean and organized and clean up after myself and their pets.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. My friends, family and neighbors ask me to watch and take care of there dogs when they are away. I'm currently laid off from work so I am flexible with my days and hours at this time. That may change in the future once I find employment but that will all be communicated. Meet & Greet: I always schedule a pre-booking visit to meet you and your dog, review routines, habits, medical needs, and confirm house rules. Access & security: I follow your preferred entry method (key, lockbox, smart lock), never share access, and ensure doors/windows are locked when leaving. Emergency preparedness: I keep your vet and emergency clinic contact info, a signed care authorization, and your dog’s medical records on hand. I’ll seek veterinary care immediately if needed and notify you right away. Medication & feeding: I follow your exact feeding schedule and portion sizes, and administer medications precisely as instructed (documented each time). Safety checks: I remove hazards, secure trash and toxic items, supervise interactions, keep collars/tags on, and avoid off‑leash situations unless explicitly allowed and safe. Familiar environment: I maintain your dog’s normal routine (walks, play, rest spots, toys) to reduce stress and preserve your home’s layout and cleanliness. Cleanliness & hygiene: I clean up accidents promptly, sanitize bowls/toys when appropriate, and follow any special cleaning instructions you provide. Supervision & enrichment: I provide appropriate exercise, play, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog’s age and energy level while monitoring for signs of stress or illness. Communication & updates: I send regular check‑ins with photos and a brief report after each visit (or as often as you prefer).

About: Hi! I’m Nicolette. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own named Prince, a 10 year-old, 30 lb neutered German Pinscher who is very friendly and still acts like a playful puppy. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet care Monday through Sunday. My home has a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Dogs in my home are treated like family — couches and beds are welcome unless you prefer otherwise. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working from home Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm. Every other Monday I do go into the office from 9am-3pm. I am available to watch your pup any day Monday-Sunday 😊 I have a fenced in yard and one playful dog to keep your fur baby company! Unless instructed otherwise, no couches or beds are off limits to pups 🐶 My dog lives like a King over here 👑 & I would treat your fur baby the same way!

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

“Ben’s the absolute best!!!”

About: I have a senior yellow lab (almost 13 years old!) who has been in my life since he was 8 weeks old. As he gets older, more and more care is required for him. Along with that, I have worked with families of different dogs when dogsitting is needed. This care ranged from small to large dogs at all stages of life. I enjoy playing in the yard with them. As someone who has had a dog for so long, I know how people want their dog treated when they are away. I am offering love and care to your dogs while you are away, so they don’t feel lonely at all! I am looking for weekend dog sitting plans. I work a full time job during the week and will not be able to provide the care I hope to for your dogs on the weekdays. As mentioned, I know how much our dogs matter to us! I will do exactly what you request with your dog! Whether that is walks, playing, certain food techniques and more!

“Anne and her husband were amazing and gave us peace of mind taking care of our pups while we were away for the weekend! Highly recommended and will book again if needed :)”

“Marcelle was so helpful with our dogs. Our little guy is stubborn and had a few accidents that she cleaned up for a us. Will definitely be requesting visits from her again!”
