Dog Sitting Unionville

About: What sets me apart is my practical, real-world experience handling a wide variety of animal needs and environments. Working behind the scenes in a veterinary clinic taught me how to keep pet spaces clean and safe, while my time on a goat farm gave me the hands-on confidence to administer injections. Combined with giving oral medications to my own cat and senior dog, I am uniquely equipped to care for animals with specific health routines. Because I offer care exclusively in your home, I specialize in keeping independent pets safe, happy, and relaxed right in their own familiar surroundings. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Sunday through Thursday, I am available for overnight house sitting in your home. Please note that from Tuesday to Thursday, I do leave for a 6-hour work shift during the day, making me a perfect match for independent pets who don't mind some alone time. I utilize my mornings, late afternoons, and evenings on those days for dedicated care, walks, and drop-ins. On Fridays and Saturdays, I am available strictly for daytime walks and drop-in visits, as I stay out of town those nights. I provide pet care exclusively inside the client's home, keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. When house sitting or dropping in, my priority is maintaining their exact daily routine. Thanks to my clinic helper and farm background, I am completely confident following complex instructions, keeping spaces clean, and administering oral medications or injections. You will receive regular updates, and you can rest assured your home and pets are cared for with a professional eye.

“Kelsey is wonderful. We knew Kelsey was a good match BUT we were 100% in when our two dogs were instantly relaxed with her . This is not the case more often than not for our Chi mix . Kelsey provides updates when she arrives and based on pictures she sends Milo and Lili are on totally board with their new friend. Even with current higher than normal temps, she is aware of the heat , pavement temp and keeping Lili and Milo in the shade so they do not overheat. Thank you Kelsey! This has been a huge help to us and we appreciate you taking good care of our furbabies. PS our cat, Waffles, seems to be passing on his overly rambunctious love to Kelsey also!!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Drake ]took amazing care of our pups while we were away—providing regular updates, photos, and making sure our dogs felt loved and comfortable. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about animals. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone responsible, kind, and trustworthy!”

About: My family has had multiple dogs as I was growing up and I have babysat and housesat at numerous houses with dogs and cats present. I am an animal lover who is very willing to learn your pet’s routine to meet their and your specific needs while you’re away! I am an elementary teacher who is looking to earn extra income in the summer before returning to school in the fall! Very willing to work through the school year with reduced availability. I will put your specific care instructions first in any service I offer and will ask any questions beforehand that are needed to make you feel comfortable. I am also very open to any questions you may have for me before trusting me with your loved pet. I am very willing to send as many or as little updates as you prefer during my service as well.

“Paige has watched Izzie overnight several times and done a drop-in visit too. Izzie is always happy to see her, and we can tell she doesn’t miss us when Paige is around!”

“Allison is just the best! She’s reliable, always keeps us updated with pictures and messages, and always gives our dog the full time. Our dog loves her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she's in good hands. Thank you Allison!!”

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: Hello! I have 30 years of experience caring for pets. I own an 80lb lover-girl named Lobster and a 10lb rascal-cat named Trinity (from The Matrix!) My schedule is very flexible and I'm available for couch snuggles, energetic playdates, and walkies. My furry companions have other members of the family to care for them at home if I'm pet-sitting overnight. I can drop-in your place, go for walks, stay overnight, give your cat snuggles, or (with your approval) bring your pup(s) to my large fenced-in backyard!

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

About: Hi! I am a college student who has a love for animals! I have had many years of experience with a range of animals due to my family household that is almost like a zoo itself! I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. I had one senior dog and currently have a German Shepherd that is almost five years old so I am versatile to all ages. I like to use my spare time bringing my dog out for runs in the mornings and walks in the evenings. As I am quite active I will enjoy doing the same for your pet! I frequently pet sit for families with dogs and I enjoy bonding and spending time with them! I am very detail oriented, punctual, organized, and I am sure to always communicate any concerns and update information/pictures with the caretakers. If references or any additional information is needed feel free to reach out! As a college student I am currently on winter break so I am very flexible with scheduling. I will be back in school by the end of January. I will follow a schedule for the eating, exercise, bonding, etc. times that are required for your pet. I can bring your pet around the neighborhood for long walks/runs.

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: Hello, My name is Val! I am an extreme animal lover and I would love to care for your pets. I am very comfortable with bigger/high energy dogs, which is the type of dog I had growing up. I’ve also had a lot of experienxe with senior dogs, dogs who don’t like other dogs, and various medication treatments. I love to get out and go for walks and would love for your furry friend to join me. I've been pet sitting for over 10 years for various friends/family/clients across the country and Canada. While I was living in NY I volunteered at an animal shelter where my main focus was walking and socializing with the dogs. The first half of 2024 I stepped away from Rover to pet sit on Trusted Housesitters giving 5 star service (see photos for references). I work from home so I am flexible to you and your pets needs! Day or night I am available to care for and protect your pet. I work with each pet owner to adapt to their schedules and styles of training/routine. Attention and keeping your pet company and engaging in plenty of play time is key

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: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: I've taken care of many breeds large and small for my friends and family over the last 20 years. Patience and calming demeanor are key to establishing trust with our fur babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so my job would not impede on caring for your pet and making sure they are getting enough attention. I currently have two golden doodles that are well mannered and socialized with other dogs. They are shared between my home and their Mom's so they aren't always with me. We're accustomed to multiple walks throughout the day and visit a dog park most days during the week.

About: I’ve owned a dog my entire life and regularly took care of my neighbors cats and dogs growing up. Currently own a rescue lab/whippet mix. Dog sit my sisters pit/lab mix. Grew up with ducks, chickens, rabbits and goats as well! Lover of all animals! I have a flexible, daytime schedule and look forward to spending some of my time taking care of and going on long walks with your pets! Safety is my number one priority! I will follow all instructions regarding pet care and follow up with any questions. I understand the love that owners have for their pets!!

“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 have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I will treat your pet as one of my own! :) I will listen to your instructions perfectly. I take my work seriously and will provide the best care possible for your pet. This includes walking, feeding, playing, and anything else you need from me related to your pet’s care. I am currently working a full time job and am a graduate student, so check my calendar to see when I am free. We should be able to work something out. I am able and willing to take care of your pet on weekdays in the early morning and after work (typically after 4 or 5 pm). On Saturdays and Sundays, I am free all day to take care of your pet. The safety of your pet and the trust that you and I have are extremely important to me. If there are specific tasks I should not do, please let me know. Typically, I will feed your pet as per instructions, play with them, and take them on walks (I will ask you how long of a walk). We will discuss and go into detail on your pet’s care.
