About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, family, friends, and my own cats and dogs my entire life. Grooming, walking, feeding, training, etc. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m currently on summer break as a teacher so my schedule is wide open until school starts up again. I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer than helping care for animals to make some extra cash. I am a responsible and trustworthy 2nd grade teacher who can come to your house for feedings, walking, dog or cat sitting, whatever you need, I would be happy to help.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’m genuine, patient, and pay close attention to every pet’s individual needs. Whether that’s a playful pup full of energy or a senior dog who just wants a calm, comfy space. I treat every animal like they’re mine and part of the family. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and truly present with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday during reasonable daytime and early evening hours. I try to keep a consistent routine so your pet gets reliable care. I’m flexible with advance notice and happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. I offer care in clients’ homes only, since I believe most pets do best in their own space and routine. I’m available for drop-ins, dog walks, and in-home sitting. I’ll follow whatever your pet is used to whether that’s a specific feeding time, meds, or just getting out for a walk and some fresh air. I’m always respectful of your home and try to keep things as low-stress as possible for both you and your pet!

About: I have an American bully named Simba, he is 1-1/2 years old. He is full of energy, he is very sweet and playful and would love to meet your fur babies! I have had a family dog named chewy since I was 10. I have always been an animal lover & would love to take your little ones on fun adventures(walks)! :) I am available Mondays- Fridays until 8pm! I take my dog on 3 walks a day, & we go to the dog park about 3 times out of the week. There is plenty of space to walk your fur babies, I don’t live to far from the dog park, I have all kinds of toys & treats.

About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

“These ladies are very caring and attentive. They provide daily feedback to let me know how Tazer is doing and take pictures and video when they are on their walks. I'm very happy and know Tazer is well cared for when I'm at work.”

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs ever since I was young. I have learned to work with all sorts of pets and I am extremely attentive to their needs. I know how to read their body language and even train them. I was able to train my dog tricks when she was a puppy as well. Now that it is officially summertime, I would like to become more active in my spare time. What better way to get moving with a furry friend! I have open availability and would love to walk/pet sit during my free time. Pet safety is extremely important to me. In my own home we have a fence to ensure my dog cannot escape or anything can enter to harm her. I believe pet owners should have fences as well. I will make sure everything is secure and safe for any service I am providing for the pet.

About: I have been walking dogs for friends since I was young. My dogs and any dogs coming into my house will have full access to every room and can go on the furniture. I have a fenced yard for them to run around in. I work mornings to afternoons but have time in between to ensure the dogs are let out and comfortable. I am able to pick up and drop off if needed. We live right by a great dog park and go there often so as long as the owners are okay I would take them to the park. I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many for families traveling or needing someone to stop by and walk their dogs if needed. I am a total dog mom, and try to make sure not only the dog is happy but the parents of the dog are too.

About: I have been a huge lover of animals throughout my lifetime. A friend of mine is a dog breeder and I love to come help out. Also, I work at an animal hospital and love caring for pets both in need and during their playtime. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Even on days of work, I am flexible to take them on walks, feed them, etc. I’m flexible in accommodating various schedules and can adapt to support others efficiently. I have a fenced up yard as well as a small dog of my own. We go on daily walks to the park with socializations with other pets as well.

About: Hey there! My name is Skylar and I would love to watch over your beloved pets to make your life a little easier. My experience with dogs has begun since I was a child— I have always been around dogs and less recently, cats as well. I worked at Highland Road Animal Hospital as Kennel Assistant, and it has refined my experience in feeding, walking, watching over, playing with, and picking up after these wonderful animals. I have also done dog sitting before and really miss the experience! I am eager to dogsit again and have the opportunity to meet and care for more dogs and cats. I am offering overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks. I also love taking pictures of animals, so I will be sure to take lots of good ones to update you. (: I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I have two dogs of my own so pet care is a daily part of my routine. Since I have graduated, my schedule has opened up significantly! I care about your dog's safety and I will never let him/her off leash on walks. I provide exercise and am attentive to your dog’s routine.

“Lisa is very reliable and definitely a pet lover.”

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

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 and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. 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.

About: I am 32 years young now and I have had pets since I can remember. I grew up with medium and big dogs. Also cats, chickens, rabbits and goats. I LOVE ANIMALS! I am self employed, so my schedule is very flexible. It will be very easy to have time to board your furry baby since I work on my own time. I have 2 bedrooms, a basement and garage. The yard is fenced in. I know that some dogs can be aggressive and there is no judgement at all. If your dog needs to be separate, that is totally fine. All separate pet boarding areas are clean and warm. Blankets and furniture they are free to use.

“Sarah takes such great care of domino. I'm so glad we found her. She's always on time and very professional.”
