I have 2 dogs currently and I don’t personal crate them but if needed to I will follow every instruction you give me, I understand ever home is different. I play with my pets in the backyard and take them on daily walks around the neighborhood. If you have specific instructions for your animals, I will definitely follow them. Like I said, I understand every home is different.

About: And small ones. And cats. Basically all animals! Hello, my name is Jamie and I am an avid animal lover! I had two cats, both I had since they were less than a year old and they lived to be 20 and 22 years old. I know right?! I now have two large dogs who love to go on walks and car rides and they both have very different personalities. I will lovingly take care of your family member as if they are my own and provide updates while in my care. I understand not all animals react the same and I am noticeable of atypical reactions from dogs: cowering, tail tucking, and snarling are all signs that I am observant of and will back away to give the pup time on it's own to adjust and come to me when it is ready. I also have experience caring for blind animals and senior animals as well. I look forward to hearing from you and taking care of your precious family member. Thank you! I will have availability during the week and also on weekends to take care of your family member and I am available for pop in services such as potty breaks or walks during those days as well. Since I have two dogs of my own I won't be providing services at my home but I can visit your pups or cats in the convenience of their own homes.
About: I have a lot of experience with a lot of different kinds of animals such as birds. I can walk really big dogs or small dogs. I'm available to walk dogs Tuesday-Thursday. Most of the day, from 11am-sunset. I have a part time job, so walking dogs through rover would just be part time. For now, I am only offering to walk dogs. I am working on making our fence taller, so then I could foster dogs in my home.

About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.

Hands on care is my gift; cuddles, baths, walks, etc. I love to help anxious pets and older pets feel safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have tons of time everyday to care for pets or make home visits/take pets on walks. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to run and play.

About: I have always had a special patience for animals, and always found myself able to work with them, however challenging and especially however loving they can be. I am very ready to assist with your pet needs. I am currently working as a server, so one night stays are best rather than weekend stays. I have my own black cat who is spoiled with many cat friendly accommodations around the apartment, and her food, water and litter required daily upkeep. Because of my own animals I cannot currently board in my home but I am happy to come to your house and care for your fur baby there. I like to consider myself a house mouse, and am extremely respectful of another's household!
“She is communicative, conscientious and sure knows dogs! She’s wonderful with my little guy because he’s always a bit timid when he meets someone new but by the time they came back from the walk, they seemed like old friends. Will definitely use her again.”
