Dog Sitting in Unionville

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.

About: My family has had dogs my entire childhood and currently have 2 of my own and they bring such joy to one's day. One of my dogs is 14yrs old so I have experience in caring for older pets and my other dog is a couple years old with a ball of energy so if you have pets with high energy, I'm very prepared to either know how to calm them down or match their energy for a day of fun! I work a 9-5 M-F but I'm happy to stop by after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. On weekends, I'm fully available and ready to be your pets best friend! I take the time to follow all care instructions to a tee and will be respectful of your home keeping everything clean and organized while you're away. Sadly, I'm not able to bring pets back to where I live, as one of my dogs get anxious around other pets, but I'm more than happy to provide care in your home with my drop-in visits which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable in a familiar space. I'm available mostly on the weekends as I work a full time job but I can drop in for feeding after work during the week. If your dog needs to be in a crate after visits, I can make sure to do that. I bring a very calm energy so if your pets have any kind of anxiety, I can always make them comfortable and calm them down to reassure them that they are safe and cared for.

“April was terrific to work with. She sent me a daily update and pictures and I knew my kitties were safe with her. Excellent communication also. I highly recommend April to care for your pets.”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!

About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life! From dogs to cats to horses, I have both domestic and farm animal experience! I currently own a 1 year old poodle rescue, and have in-depth experience from puppies and seniors, as well as with kittens and cats! My previous precious pet was a beautiful 15 year old standard poodle and we had the best times together :) I currently work full-time from home as a Registered Nurse (RN), so I am available all days of the week, both days and nights, for drop in visits to take the best care of your furry loved ones! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family. You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!

About: I’ve been helping take care of my two dogs for the for the past 6 years now. I have also, this past year, been helping friends and family take care of their dogs when they are not around by feeding, walking, and showing lots of love to them! I am currently working a part-time job so I have some extra time on my hands that I would love to spend helping out with some dogs! I have 2 dogs at home that are a handful so I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my home but in my clients home I do as told and respect their home and clean up after any messes made while I am helping out.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life and always had a dog growing up, so being around pets has always felt natural to me. While I don’t currently have my own dog, taking care of someone else’s dog gives me that same joy and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve dog sat for multiple people in the past and also help with cat sitting for my neighbor from time to time. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each pet’s routine, whether that means burning off energy or enjoying some quiet cuddle time. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away. I work a 9–5 Monday through Friday, but I’m happy to stop by in the mornings or after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. I also have no issue staying over during the week if needed. On weekends, I’m fully available and open for business! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to follow all care instructions closely, maintain routines, and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for in their own environment. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. Unfortunately, I’m not able to bring pets back to where I live, but I’m more than happy to provide care in your home, including drop-in visits and overnight stays. I believe caring for pets in their familiar space helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable.

About: Had a dog since I was a child, and have continued to have dogs my whole life. My current dog is 6 and great around children/other dogs (when she isn’t sunbathing). Currently job hunting so until that changes availability is relatively open. Early riser and love taking my dog on early morning walks in nice weather. A crate and in house fence are available, as well as sectioning off into separate rooms if needed. Plenty of beds and sleep/play space available.

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

About: Hi Pet Parents! I’m a teacher and #dogmom to a cuddly rescue chihuahua mix, looking to pet sit part time in our community. I grew up with cats and dogs and have many years of experience caring for them. I work as a teacher part time and am looking to round out my weeks caring for fur babies. I have more availability in the summer. I do have a fenced in yard if your dog gets along with other dogs. My dog is about 13 lbs. and loves other dogs once she gets to know them.

“Jordan did such a wonderful job taking care of my elderly cat. She was responsible, reliable, and put my mind at ease while I was away. I would recommend her highly and will definitely request her again the next time I go away.”

About: Hi everyone - currently work from my house and have a really flexible schedule, my 9 year old dog, Kona, loves playing with other dogs, so I thought this would be a good fit. He is really social and well behaved. I have experience taking him on lots of pack hikes, usually with 2 or more dogs, off leash, but also spend a lot of 1x1 time with him. I have had him since he was a puppy, and have plenty of experience with younger dogs as well. I drive an SUV so I can easily accommodate dogs in my car as well. Hope to meet you and you dog(s) soon! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and also teach yoga a few times a week. I have an SUV so can transport! I’m also familiar with a lot of amazing hiking and walking spots in the area. I am certified in CPR and also hav extensive experience in dog walking/ handling my own dog and others. I take time to listen, feel and observe the dog in my care. I make sure to meet their needs and also listen to owners needs.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have experience working at a dog daycare and providing pet-sitting services for friends, family, and clients. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. My goal is to provide peace of mind and quality care for both pets and their families. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I will make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I will treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. 🐾

About: Taken care of different breeds, small and big dogs, cats and small critters. Trained dogs used for disabilities. I walk small dogs with a harness only, and don’t allow them to jump from high places, due to their tiny bones. I make sure they are secured before opening any door where they might run off. I have an Instagram page where I upload dogs I meet , dogs I take care of or watch , dogs that were placed in safe homes. I will take photos to give updates. Can change day to day but if notified ahead of time , can usually work around my schedule. I do check my texts and email if something changes. My dogs are sociable, always keeping an eye out, they are like little kids. There is currently a Japanese Chin, Shitzu, Pekingese, Saint Bernard, a cat, a bird and 3 guinea pigs, in the home.

About: Dogs have always been part of my family, from Beagles to Bullies and up to three in a home at a time. Friends and family have trusted me with caring for their animals on a fairly regular basis doing anything from food/bathroom check-ins to walks and dog park visits. Experienced walking three medium sized dogs at once. Comfortable with elderly dogs and their needs, including handling seizures and the appropriate care. I'm less experienced with cats but have had and loved them all the same, my only hesitation being allergies from extended exposure to some. Currently open to just about anything. I'm recovering from health issues and have much more free time since losing my dog, they just bring me a ton of joy and caring for them is good for the soul. I'm very affectionate with animals and rely heavily on positive reinforcement/praise, they're very much part of the family and not just pets to me. I understand their physical, mental and emotional requirements and do my best to meet or exceed them. I've always been very interested in psychology and feel that knowledge has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals.

“Tara was excellent. She was prompt and prepared to start right in, We found her energetic, kind, thoughtful and most thorough. She immediately engaged our trust and confidence. Our dog was totally smitten. Tara was just like family. I recommend Tara most highly. She is a delight to work with.”
