About: I love every dog and cat I take care of. I have always had dogs while growing up so i have seen the puppy phase to old age senior dogs. I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family once in a while over the years when needed to help them out. I am happy to do whatever it takes to make sure your dog and cat are safe and well cared for. I am doing this part time to gain more experience as I want to be a vet tech. I currently have a part time job while doing rover and am available to house sit, drop in, and walk your dogs. I am available most mornings, early afternoons, and late evenings. Let me know what you need and we can work something out. :) Taking care of your pet will be like it is my own pet. I will feed, pet, play, walk, love, etc. Anything they need to feel safe and happy while you are away from home. I want them to feel comfortable as much as possible.

My partner Cindy absolutely loves dogs. In fact, she is largely responsible for my own fondness for pooches. Whether it's our own dog Jazzy, a neighbor's dog, or any canine with whom she comes in contact, Cindy is always warm and friendly. Dogs love her almost as much as she loves dogs. She talks to, plays with, and walks dogs naturally and enthusiastically. She's also reliable, punctual, responsible. Highly recommended.

About: I am an animal lover. I have always had fur babies and would love to meet yours. I enjoy going on walks with dogs, playing fetch, and letting them sniff everything. I love playing with lasers with cats and seeing them be silly with boxes and feathers and toys. I work part time days at a local hospital, so my early evenings are always free. I can also drop in during mornings a few days a week. I love going on walks with dogs and playing with lasers with cats. I am able to crate dogs when needed. I have experience with multiple types of litter boxes. Additionally, I will send pictures and videos with each visit and updates of how your fur baby is doing

About: I grew up with Springer Spaniels, and Great Danes. Currently a Dane momma. I've had cats, bunnies, and ferrets,. From baby to adult, I have experience with all of them. I work at a golf course 4 days a week, and the season is coming to an end. My availability is pretty much wide open. I'm an empty nester as of earlier this year, and being around animals is a great way to keep me busy, and I love it! We have a daily routine at home. I know when she has to go out or just wants to play. I know how to deal with the "zoomies".

About: My mothers has had multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. I love caring for animals in all situations. I’ve taken care of teeny tiny babies and huge old dogs as well. From super hyper- to the laziest of dogs. I am working part time mornings only and I have plenty of time to help you look after your babies. I’m home a majority of the time so this will be no problem. Plus I have my own fur baby that I’m taking care of anyway. I have a huge backyard that my dog loves to run around in( fenced of course). I also have a crate that I don’t use any longer but I can pull it out of storage if need be.

Erika is a very responsible dog care taker. She is super flexible and has had experience with all different breeds large to small. At her home away from home she has three dogs. She even knows how to clean up as well. She takes my dogs on great walks and plays with them. Erika rarely leaves the dogs alone for more than an hour and makes sure they have everything they need to feel at home. She allows them to go on furniture and even sleep in the bed. Overall I was very impressed and satisfied with her services. I highly highly reccomend her.

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 had a very good experience with Stefanie B. She has watched both of my dogs when I would go on vacation and while I was at work during the day. She makes sure that my dogs are well fed, and had plenty of exercise. Stefanie will go above and beyond to make sure my dogs are comfortable and had enough play time. She is a very good dog owner herself and I’m happy always to have her watch over my dogs because she treats them like their her own.

About: I have had pets since I was born. Experience with all sized dogs as well as exotic pets! My personal dog is a pit bull named Izzy. Over the summer I work at Brookfield Zo! I am a student with lots of gaps in my schedule to come and take care of pets in my free time. I can always find time for care. I only care for pets on other homes because I am a student. Any specific instructions that the pet needs will be followed closely on a case by case basis.

About: Since I was young I have taken care of pets! Dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. Through the years my main focus has been dogs and cats. For cats: I am an expert at providing the care and patience they need. From nail trimming, play time, medicine application, and keeping their space clean. They are fun creatures who I enjoy keeping happy and healthy! For dogs: At a young age we took care of our dog, neighbor dogs, and family member’s dogs. They truly are great companions and I’m happy to provide them with all the love and care they deserve! I’m a freelance illustrator so it’s easy for me to find time to play with your four legged family member! I usually reserve afternoon/evening hours for commissions, but my schedule is currently very flexible. Happy to completely follow any rules you may have, for your home, with your pet! Of course that also applies to any rule regarding your pet as well!

Eddie is absolutely amazing with animals! His extensive experience really shows—he’s patient, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. He took excellent care of my Max, making sure they were comfortable, well-fed, and entertained the whole time. I especially appreciated how flexible and communicative he was, giving me updates and photos so I knew my pet was in great hands. I can’t recommend Eddie enough; he truly goes above and beyond!
