Personalized care for your dog or cat - Grandin

“They treated my dog with so much love and care. The staff was incredibly kind, and you could feel their positive energy. They kept me informed about everything every step of the way. I highly recommend them!”

Angelica T.

“Anas and Tate were amazing with our dog. We would highly recommend their care. It was amazing knowing our dog was in such good hands while we were away.”

Chelsea S.

“Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.”

Idania R.

“Adam was a great communicator and was great with our dog! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request for an earlier drop-off and sent regular updates about how things were going. Would definitely recommend him and leave Mochi with him again!!”

Dara W.

“Amy took great care of my pup, Schatzee for four nights while I was out of town. She sent me several pictures, responded quickly to my "check in" notes to see how things were going. I particularly liked Amy's home set up. She has a large fenced in yard directly behind her house, and an additional very large fence around her property. My dog is big, young, active, and "zoomie!" She needs space, sunshine, and attention - all in plentiful supply at Amy's. I recommend Amy for boarding of your dog.”

Tish G.

“I had never used Rover or left my pups with a stranger before and Haylie was a great first experience! She sent updates with pictures and eased my fears about leaving our pup. I could tell Maggie had a good time and was well cared for because when I picked her up, she was comfortable around Haylie and wanted to follow her back into the house. I definitely recommend Haylie for pet sitting!”

About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child. The unconditional love they provide always makes my heart smile and I will always care for your fur babies as if they are my own :) I have spent the last 20 years caring for my own 4 very special dogs and unfortunately it came time for them to cross the rainbow bridge due to age. I miss caring for them and would love to now spend my time assisting you in caring for your Fur Baby. I have had the pleasure of caring for my neighbors animals (including chickens) while they have traveled and can provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved pets 🐾 I am currently a caretaker for an elderly post surgical neighbor and have a lot of free time most days. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog or cat when you are unable to be at home for them :) I am trustworthy and reliable to take care of your precious fur babies on my down time. I will follow all of your instructions and give them all the love they need while you are away.

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

“We’ve used Michele 4 or 5 times, maybe more? She has been our Rosie’s dear friend the last few years when we’ve been away for sometimes a week or more. Excellent communication, lots of photos and updates, and has been very flexible with me when our plans changed recently and dates had to be updated a few times.”

Bethany F.

“Elijah is super pleasant and communicated with us throughout our dog’s stay with him. He was very patient and accommodating. We will definitely book with him again.”

Varshay J.

“Sylvia and her family are amazing!!! They took in my Stella as if she were their own. They have a nice big yard with a kiddie pool that Stella played in once she got comfortable. They cuddled with her and showed her lots of love. I was out of the country during the stay, but Sylvia kept communication with me and sent me updates on how Stella was doing. They kept her morning walks, which is important to us, and Stella even required a proper goodbye kiss and hug before we left lol she loved them that much!”

Jessica O.

“Autumn is amazing. Chica & Moose's experience with Autumn was like sleeping over at your bestie's, or going to summer camp! Lots of attention, adventures, treats. Lots of snuggles and fun! She sent them home with treats and a cute holiday bandana (they are so proud of them). They adore you, Autumn, thanks for everything!”

Mark B.

“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. They had lots of fun. Plenty of room to run and instantly felt right at home. I am very particular about who cares for my babies when I unable to take them with me but, I did not feel uneasy with the love and care they were getting at all. She sent pics and communicated with me the entire time. I will definitely go to Abigail again in the event I need to be away again.”

Stacey R.

“Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!”

Russel T.

“Melissa and her family genuinely cares for our girl while we are gone. She’s flexible and works with our busy schedule. We are thankful to have found a sitter who can create a home away from home for Hazel.”

Mellissa E.

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Charlee 🤍 Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to Charlee’s needs (medications), making sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and getting all the extra love senior pups deserve. We really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such kind, capable hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would 100% trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl 🐾”

Krystan C.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications.

I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own.

About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while away from home. I make sure pets are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and I keep my home pet-friendly and free of hazards. I also follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special precautions. My goal is to create a calm and loving atmosphere where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.

About: An avid animal lover! I grew up with dogs. They loved me just as much as I loved them. My grandparents always had dogs since the time I was born. Their favorite one: German Rottweiler. They are beautiful dogs and so protective. I always helped my grandparents all the time with the dogs. We would have 6 or more dogs in the household all at once, so I have experience with having multiple dogs at once. Additionally, I can teach them tricks such as giving paw, sitting, laying, etc. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs as I know they required different type of care. I'll treat them like they are my own. I currently work full time during the weekdays, but I'm available after 6pm on the weekdays and all day availability on the weekends. I'll be able to provide the care they require. I don't have any dogs at home. However, I do have kids, so I understand the safety and how important it is to have a safe environment. However, currently not offering services to have dogs at my home at this time.

“Keita took great care of the house and Mary definitely enjoyed her company! 🐾”

About: I began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.

About: I may be young but I grew up on a farm for most of my life. I love all animals. I have taken care of most animals that come to mind. I have been animal sitting in some shape of form since I was 8. Your pets are in good care and are loved. Please know that they are in great care. I have/had dog/s of my own and they are always happy and healthy. I can travel as well to you and your pet. I love puppies and kittens and have what is necessary to take care of them. I am very charismatic, sweet, and funny.

About: Hello, I am an animal lover of all kinds. I have always had a dog and cat among other pets in my life, whether by others or my own. In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 19. I've gotten people who asked me to watch their pets, walk their pets, and clean their pets.

About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I’m very attentive pet lover I enjoy spending time with animals, will play with, walk, feed, and care for your dog as if he or she is my own.

I volunteer at the local animal shelter taking dogs on bow wow break out and fostering. I have 2 dogs stormy and koda. Stormy just turned a year old and koda is 6 months old very playful and loves other animals. We go on long walks in the park and on nearby trails. They love car rides and pup cups from Jermiah’s.

Pm feeding are usually between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm followed by a little time to burn off steam or a walk before bedtime. I do let pets out to use the bathroom every 2 to 4 hours. Bowls and crates are washed and kept clean daily along with vacuuming the floors.

About: Hello! My name is Athena and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I am reliable, experienced, caring, on-time, and a trustworthy individual who genuinely loves and cares for dogs, cats, hamsters, and animals of all sizes. I am a dog mama to my 5 happy and friendly pups. Chopper and Cece are both registered ESA animals. Besides my own pet sitting business, I have work experience caring for packs of dogs as I have worked at dog daycare facilities Camp Run-A-Mutt and Dogtopia in San Diego. I am trained in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY: I am certified and trained in Pet CPR and First Aid through an in-person course with AmeriMed. It was very important for me to take this course in case of an emergency were to occur I know exactly how to help your pet quickly without any hesitation. In this course I learned how to: • Assess pets for a medical emergency. • How to treat common medical emergencies. • Perform CPR on cats and dogs. • Safe handling, restraint and transportation of sick and/or injured pets. I respond fast when you send in a booking request. Pets are apart of our families and I will insure you that your pet will be in good hands during our booking providing you photos of your happy pups and cats. I care for your pets as if they were my own making sure that they are comfortable and have everything that they need during our visit. I am currently running my pet sitting business Full Time! I can provide services for your pet with a flexible schedule giving them love and care with full attention. Let me know if you would like to book every once in awhile while you are out of town or if you would like to book me to walk them regularly each week. I have my core clients that I regularly take care of weekly and monthly and I would love to welcome more clients if we are a good fit and our schedules align. Safety and communication are top priorities of mine besides making sure that your pet is happy and comfortable(: I will always keep your dog on a leash, careful with opening and closing doors, and I am cautious with other dogs passing by while out on walks. I will provide you a detailed report card each visit with plenty of photos so that you can feel at ease knowing your baby is safe and having a good time!

About: Calm, attentive care tailored to your pet. ☀️ Summer Safety Advisory ☀️ Due to Florida’s extreme heat and humidity, dogs are at serious risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke in as little as 10–15 minutes of exertion during peak sun hours. Because of this, all walks during late spring through early fall may be shortened or adjusted for safety and replaced with enrichment-based activities, shaded sniff time, or indoor play when appropriate. Your dog’s health and comfort always come first. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I provide thoughtful, enrichment-focused care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is not just to “get through” a visit, but to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a background in wildlife sanctuary rehabilitation and have served as an adoptions director, which means I’ve worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications ( just not injections), managing multi-pet households, and supporting shy, anxious, senior, or special-needs pets. My approach to pet care is informed by ongoing education in dog behavior, body language, and force-free, reward-based training. I pay close attention to stress signals, pacing, and environment, and I adjust each visit accordingly. Whether your dog needs structured activity, calm companionship, or space to decompress, I aim to meet them where they are. 🦴 Bonus Enrichment Option I also manage one of Gainesville’s top-rated private Sniffspots, The Zoomie Zone, located in Midtown. This fully private, reservation-only yard is ideal for dogs who benefit from off-leash play without the pressure of public dog parks. Many clients choose to incorporate Sniffspot visits into walks or drop-ins as a way to provide safe zoomies, sniff-based enrichment, or low-distraction decompression time. If you’re interested in adding a Sniffspot visit to your booking, feel free to ask. Returning clients can also receive discount codes for independent bookings. Whether we’re heading out for a structured walk, enjoying shaded sniff time, or keeping things low-key indoors, I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care you can trust. 🗓️ Scheduling and booking process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will be provided and gives us a chance to review your pet’s routine, home setup, safety needs, and comfort level. **Meet and greet exceptions:** * Cats do not require a meet and greet unless there are medications, behavioral concerns, or a complicated home setup * Puppies under five months may be booked without a meet and greet when appropriate * Returning clients may fast-track future bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested service so we have enough time to coordinate properly. After the initial meet and greet, you are all set for future bookings. If you move to a new home or apartment, you are welcome to schedule another visit so I can become familiar with the new layout, entry instructions, and pet-care setup. 🚶‍♀️ Dog walks and drop-ins I organize dog walks and cat drop-ins into efficient daily routes using flexible arrival windows. This helps reduce unnecessary travel time while still allowing me to provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. Dog-care windows: * Standard visits generally take place between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM * Evening visits may be available for dogs who need additional flexibility **Cat-care windows:** * My preferred cat visit window is between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Visits requiring medication or strict timing will be scheduled around those needs whenever possible Dogs are generally prioritized earlier because of restroom needs, but every pet receives the same level of care, attention, and communication. 🐾 Premium boarding Boarding is a high-touch, in-home service for clients who want a fully hands-off experience while their dog is away. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walking, drop-in, or daycare relationship with me. This helps ensure your dog is already comfortable with me, my home, my routine, and my resident pets before an overnight stay. While boarding with me, your dog will: * Live inside my home as part of the household * Be my only boarding guest and receive individualized attention * Receive daily enrichment, engagement, and structured downtime * Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression * Follow a routine tailored to their age, energy level, temperament, and physical needs Enrichment may include: * Frozen meals or food puzzles using West Paw Toppls * Sniff-based games, treat hunts, and low-pressure training activities * Nature walks or hikes at San Felasco when weather permits * Visits to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present * Indoor play and low-impact enrichment during extreme heat or storms Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and very ready for a nap. 🚨 Boarding behavior and safety expectations The safety and comfort of my resident pets are a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be safe around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. Dogs showing aggression, predatory behavior, severe resource guarding, or repeated unsafe behavior toward resident animals may not be eligible for boarding. If a boarding stay must be ended for safety reasons, care may be converted to drop-in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship whenever possible. 🚗 Premium pick-up and drop-off For added convenience, I offer pet transportation as an optional add-on. I can personally pick up or return your dog along my existing daily route, allowing you to leave your dog comfortably at home without coordinating an in-person handoff. This service is priced accordingly to reflect the additional time, travel, and personalized care involved. ⛔ Important booking policies * One complimentary meet and greet is included for new clients * Additional meetings should be booked as a walk or drop-in to cover time and travel * Every pet receiving care must be listed on the Rover booking * Bookings should be confirmed within 48 hours of the meet and greet or the requested time may be released * House-sitting and drop-in bookings follow a seven-day cancellation policy * Availability is not guaranteed until a booking has been formally confirmed by you. through Rover. If you have questions, a complicated schedule, or a pet with unusual care needs, I am always happy to talk through the details before booking. Care philosophy and communication: In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect, attention, and consideration I give my own. I understand that every pet has an individual personality and different needs. Some thrive on companionship, while others prefer play, structure, quiet encouragement, or simply having a calm person nearby. My goal is to be a steady, reassuring presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their own home or taking them on an enrichment field trip to The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed Rover Card with notes about meals, potty breaks, mood, activities, and anything noteworthy from our time together. If your pet gives me an especially great photo opportunity, I may also send along a favorite edited image. Unless something genuinely requires your attention, I will not interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. My goal is to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. 🚨 Safety and stress policy Safety is always my top priority, both for your pet and for me. If a pet displays aggression, extreme fear, severe anxiety, or behavior that makes a visit unsafe, I will still make every reasonable effort to ensure their essential needs are met, including food, water, medication when safely possible, and potty access. However, I may modify or shorten the visit if continuing would increase stress or create a risk of injury. This is never done as punishment. It is a safety decision intended to prevent escalation and protect everyone involved. Any significant concerns will be clearly documented and communicated to you. 🛏️ Crate or confinement requirement for boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable resting safely in a crate, exercise pen, gated room, or behind another secure household barrier. This is a firm boarding requirement. At night, during meals when separation is needed, and anytime dogs cannot be directly supervised, boarding guests will be safely confined. This gives every animal appropriate space to rest and ensures all pets remain secure while I am sleeping, showering, completing household tasks, or briefly away from home. Crates and gated spaces are always used as calm, neutral resting areas, never as punishment. If your dog normally uses a crate, pen, gated room, or another confinement routine at home, please share the details with me so I can keep their stay as familiar and low-stress as possible. Dogs do not need to love being crated, but they must be able to tolerate safe confinement without panicking, attempting to escape, or injuring themselves. If your dog is not currently comfortable with any form of secure separation, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. In that case, drop-in care in their own home may be a safer and more comfortable alternative. This is non-negotiable.

Paola was responsive, reliable, and clearly caring. She also sent updates throughout the day, which put my mind at ease and let me know Angel was doing great.”

About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child. The unconditional love they provide always makes my heart smile and I will always care for your fur babies as if they are my own :) I have spent the last 20 years caring for my own 4 very special dogs and unfortunately it came time for them to cross the rainbow bridge due to age. I miss caring for them and would love to now spend my time assisting you in caring for your Fur Baby. I have had the pleasure of caring for my neighbors animals (including chickens) while they have traveled and can provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved pets 🐾 I am currently a caretaker for an elderly post surgical neighbor and have a lot of free time most days. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog or cat when you are unable to be at home for them :) I am trustworthy and reliable to take care of your precious fur babies on my down time. I will follow all of your instructions and give them all the love they need while you are away.

About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.

“My dog loves it when Jonathan shows up and he always takes great care of her. I would highly recommend Jonathan to trust with your loved ones.”

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊

About: I have loved pets all my life, but decided to do this full time after I retired. I am free most weekends if you need to get away and feel like your fur babies are in safe hands. I am retired an can watch your fur babies during the week or weekends. You can leave your babies and know they are in loving hands. I will watch your babies in your home, where they are more familiar. I can feed them, play with them, walk them or what ever else they enjoy doing. I can sit for up to 2 weeks at a time. So go have fun on your vacation and know your babies are loved and safe!! I'm also available for last minute emergencies.

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs to chickens, as well as birds and horses, and have grown up with cats all my life. The dog breeds I have cared for in my work experience have been pitbulls, standard poodles, lab/hound mixes, golden retrievers, chow mixes, chihuahuas, etc. I am currently taking a year off from working as a full-time elementary teacher, so my availability has become much more flexible in regards to accommodating future clients' schedules. As a courtesy, however, a 1 week in advance notice is always preferred, so that way I may plan accordingly!😁 I would prefer to fur-babysit at my client's home just because it is where they are most familiar, and I want them to be comfortable. I love to capture my time spent with them and send you plenty of photos to ensure they are in the best care possible!

About: I have babysat the fur babies for all of my family. My kids have had all the pets you could imagine growing up, and I also had cats and dogs my whole life as well. I have always been the grandma to all my babies fur babies. They get all the love and attention from me and I would love the opportunity to spread my love for animals helping your family! I am a uber and lyft driver. I am retired and work my own hours. I love animals. I want to help you feel your babies are in good hands. Thank you for thinking of me I prefer go to your house. I have small home, also my baby is getting older he stresses. I want the babies to feel safe and feel the attention and love they are used to.

About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 19. I've gotten people who asked me to watch their pets, walk their pets, and clean their pets. I'm currently working part-time so I have time pet sit, walk your pet, and if they need a bath or need to be fed I can do a verity. I usually go to the clients house to take care of the pets. I can't take pets at my house because I have a dog.

About: I go by He/him and It/its! I've been looking after dogs as soon as I turned 8. I have experience with high-energy animals, as I take care of two at the moment. I have experience administering medication, bathing, walking and tending to the needs of those with skin issues. I am fully available any day of the week, including the weekend, starting 10 AM. However, I am not open on Thursdays until after 5 PM. I do not take requests for boarding at the moment due to the unpredictable nature of my own animals. Though I am open to walking, visits and overnight stays.

About: I have 3 dogs small and large. All super well taken care of and walk atleast a mile everyday. I also groom my own pets every month. I make sure that all my pups and me get our daily exercise together by taking walks or runs. I always plan my schedules for the week around my dogs and the time I need with them. I give them so much love and get all the exercise and energy they need in the day out. They are my number 1 priority

About: Hello, I am an animal lover of all kinds. I have always had a dog and cat among other pets in my life, whether by others or my own. In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life both big and small. I’ve also volunteered at the SAFE dog shelter for about 6 months. I absolutely love all animals but especially dogs! I work full time so I’m looking to walk/house sit on night and weekends. I could use my lunch break at work to tend to the dogs needs. I’m extremely fun and playful so I would just follow your wishes of how you wanted your dog to be taken care of. I also enjoy taking walks.

“So nice and the dogs loved her! She came early and I was able to get things done around the house! Very sweet!!!”

About: I've taken care of a family dog my whole life. I am always gentle and kind to dogs. I try to be patient with them always. I'm looking to spend as much time as I can with pets! Taking care of animals is a big passion of mine. I always treat them like my own family. I treat pets gently and kindly. I always put them first place and I'm sure to stay attentive to their needs. I'm looking forward to becoming a professional.

About: i have grown up my entire 24 years with multiple animals and multiple different types of animals! i have been using the wag app for two years now and have had a blast and am looking to get even more walks! honestly any day of the week works for me! preferably not super late at night past seven or eight o’clock but i am free most of the week! i am super careful and pay very close attention to your pet and treat them like royalty! i also stick perfectly to exactly what you ask for me to do!

About: I began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.

About: I’ve spent a lot of time learning about all kinds of pets especially dogs I have a family member who owns a lot and they helped me learn a few things It helps me cope and pets are very interesting and does a lot of things that makes me laugh an enjoy myself I care for pets like they are family or siblings I have a family dog name lady bug and she literally acts like a big baby lol so I spend a lot of time with her to comfort her I currently don’t have a job yet finishing my last year of high school and having this as a side job would help out with a lot of my fees such as prom tickets grad bash and phone bills I care for pets as if they are kids or friends they need the same amount of attention as we do so I treat them l respect

Idania R.

“Amy took great care of my pup, Schatzee for four nights while I was out of town. She sent me several pictures, responded quickly to my "check in" notes to see how things were going. I particularly liked Amy's home set up. She has a large fenced in yard directly behind her house, and an additional very large fence around her property. My dog is big, young, active, and "zoomie!" She needs space, sunshine, and attention - all in plentiful supply at Amy's. I recommend Amy for boarding of your dog.”

Tish G.

“I had never used Rover or left my pups with a stranger before and Haylie was a great first experience! She sent updates with pictures and eased my fears about leaving our pup. I could tell Maggie had a good time and was well cared for because when I picked her up, she was comfortable around Haylie and wanted to follow her back into the house. I definitely recommend Haylie for pet sitting!”

“Sylvia and her family are amazing!!! They took in my Stella as if she were their own. They have a nice big yard with a kiddie pool that Stella played in once she got comfortable. They cuddled with her and showed her lots of love. I was out of the country during the stay, but Sylvia kept communication with me and sent me updates on how Stella was doing. They kept her morning walks, which is important to us, and Stella even required a proper goodbye kiss and hug before we left lol she loved them that much!”

Jessica O.

“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. They had lots of fun. Plenty of room to run and instantly felt right at home.

She sent pics and communicated with me the entire time. I will definitely go to Abigail again in the event I need to be away again.”

Stacey R.

“Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Charlee 🤍 Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to Charlee’s needs (medications), making sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and getting all the extra love senior pups deserve. We really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such kind, capable hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

Francesca V.

About: I not only grew up around dogs, but I’ve worked in animal shelters and a pet resort, where I was responsible for the needs of dogs and cats. I earned 44 hours of volunteer work at the Humane Society in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., where I gave tours to potential dog owners. I worked at Pet Suites and LifeLine, where I ensured all pets received their food and/or medicine in a timely manner. I have fostered dogs for Angels Among Us and found homes for all of them. I also take an interest in dog training. I’m not a licensed trainer, but I enjoy teaching dogs manners and tricks. I currently work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, which means I have open availability in the mornings, evenings, and full availability on Fridays through Mondays. I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with other dog neighbors. There’s a lot of grass surrounding the complex. While at work, I prefer letting dogs roam unless they need to be in a crate.

“I have used this sitter twice for my rescue dog Petey. Both times I had excellent service to include one time I had a short notice need. My pup is happy with drop-off and pick-up and all my questions amd communication is responded to promptly. I am thrilled to have a sitter I can rely on after recently moving to the state. I will definitely be making this my go to sitter!”

Danielle P.

“Jonathan always takes great care of Olive! Olive truly enjoys going to his house and hiding in all of the blankets. This is my second time leaving Olive in his care, she was happy to be going back and I could tell she remembered spending time there, that put me at ease while I was out of town. Will definitely book again in the future”
