“We have utilized Rover four times over the last two years ... each time we have been disappointed. Until now. We booked with Stefani to watch our German Shepherd (who is 110% a people-dog) for 8 days. Stefani gave her so much one-on-one attention, long walks, unlimited play time, and all the things dogs love that she whined as we pulled away from her house! We received videos and texts every day with updates. Stefani will be our go-to dog sitter from now on! We almost did not book with her because we thought $55 was kind of high for dog sitting, but compared to the local kennels, the care and attention our dog received with Stefani was far superb than the top rated kennel in our area. She was worth every dime and we will absolutely recommend her and use her again!”
“Robin was awesome! First, she graciously accepted Coconut last minutes with no hesitation. Second her background makes her a animal lover (horse ranch manager) Coconut was a very happy guy when I picked him up. I will go to NOONE else in the Yosemite area for dog care. Very loving dog sitter! Don't hesitate. Cannot beat her prices! Thank you Robin, you rock!”
“Our senior dog, Maggie, loved her stay with Laura and her family. Laura sent us pictures and kept us informed on how Maggie was doing with her. I would definitely use Laura again! Maggie felt like she was on a vacation!”
“So very thankful for Kathrine! She boarded our two fur babies for us on very short notice. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Would trust her with Lottie and Teddy anytime.”
“Our sweet fur baby recently stayed with Jeffrey and his lovely wife for the first time. She got lots of attention and play time. They have a beautiful home that is well suited for pets. We received lots of pictures, which helped alleviate any worries we had about a stay with a new sitter. We are very happy to have found someone we can trust when we need a sitter in the future.”
“Mikaela was amazing! Flexible with our changing schedule. She sent us updates and photos multiple times throughout the day which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our fur baby behind. The kennels were spotless and the run area was large and well kept. We would definitely use her again.”
“Stephanie and her family took such great care of our dog while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures and videos. Even gave her a bath! I couldn't have asked for a better experience for us and our dog. Thank you!”
“Frank was GREAT! He provided loving care to Willa. She was happy and spoiled when we returned, just like we wanted. Frank kept in touch with pictures and texts. He is reliable and left my house clean. I never had a moment's worry while I was away.”
“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and thank goodness I found Amanda!! Wow! She had an outstanding response rate to all of my texts and calls. She even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me she was ok because she knew I was nervous about her being an escape artist. When I picked up my dog both times, my girl seemed so content & happy. Amanda and her husband have a big beautiful home and give lots of love and care to their animals. I’m using her anytime I’m in this area again. Such a relief 🦋”
“Amanda was great. She accepted Whinehead at the last minute and even picked him up. We had a time delay so she worked with us on that. Would definitely recommend! Seemed like after a few hours Whinehead warmed up to her. He doesn’t do that to everyone. Thank you Amanda!”
“Emily was the absolute best! She has a perfect environment for dogs and cats to have a fun and relaxing stay. My cat and dog both loved staying with her and I will definitely board them with her again!”
“Kate was excellent in caring for my little Khloe while I was away on a business trip. She is very friendly and even arranged a meet and greet before the drop off day. Kate was excellent with communication and sent me daily updates and pictures of my pup. Overall it was an excellent experience and Kate made me feel comfortable about having to leave my pup for a few days. I already rebooked Kate for my next business trip!”
“David and Leslie were awesome! They treated my Callie like their own and sent me updates regularly with pictures. She seemed very comfortable with both of them and got along well with their sweet dog.”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶
“Judy is a wonderful and caring individual and pet sitter. Our dog Bull was so well taken care of and welcomed by Judy into her house and life for his entire stay! Five stars isn’t high enough to express our gratitude for such a caring person.”
“The first time I board my dog somewhere new, I am always a little uneasy, but as soon as I met Licia in her lovely and cheerful home I felt completely at ease about leaving my dearest little canine companion in her care. Licia sent several text updates with photos, and I could see that my dog was settling in very well and quite comfortable. I am so happy and grateful to have found Licia and Pete and will not hesitate to board with them again!”
“Megan is such a wonderful dog sitter. Her love for dogs shines through and when we picked up Penny, Megan gave us feedback on the stay and how everything went. Penny was obviously comfortable with her and now I know we have a knowledgeable, trustworthy person we can count on to care for our dog when we are out of town.”
About: Hey, I’m Zachary! I’m the guy who ends up hanging out with the dog at someone else’s house. I know leaving your dog with someone takes trust, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re getting plenty of attention and being well cared for. Tell me their routine, their favorite things, and any little habits I should know about—I’m happy to keep things how they’re used to. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel at home. And I’ll send pictures along the way, because I know you’re going to miss them. When I take a booking, I make sure I have time for the care and attention your dog needs. We’ll go over their usual schedule beforehand so meals, walks, and potty breaks stay as close to their normal routine as possible. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your dog with me, so I’ll ask about their habits, any special needs, and what helps them settle in. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.
“Lynn had great communication, sent updates, and was very easy to work with. My dog has a great time and would totally trust her again. Nice area and very safe, fenced in yard, and she made it like home for my energetic pup. Thank you!”
“Joyce was a pleasure to work with. I felt really comfortable leaving my pack with her. There is a big yard for the dogs to frolic in and the boys were able to stay in a room and play together with out mixing with other dogs. My pack can be a little quirky and she was able to roll with their personalities wonderfully. Her daily updates were hilarious and it felt like she cared for my boys like they were her own.”

“Since Rover tends to be dog focused, it can be hard to find sitters who really love and care about cats. But Stefanie does!! She took such good care of our cats during her drop-in visits. We received daily written updates and TONS of photos of her playing with, cuddling, and taking care of my cats. She seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with them and got to know their personalities very well. Her communication was clear and consistent, and the apartment was clean and well-taken care of when we returned. I will definitely re-book with her next time we go out of town!!”
“An amazing first experience with in home pet visitation. Terri communicated daily with pictures and thoughtful comments. I can't express how comforting it was to have her visiting with my two cats. Will be using her often!”
“Belle was wonderful. We got a check-in every visit, with photos. She played with the cats and they seemed very content when we got back. Will book again when we take another trip in the future!”
“Aaron was excellent. We have 2 cats, one old who is friendly, and the other ex feral who is usually terrified of strangers. There I am visiting family, and I get a video of my "feral" bumping around getting her head & butt scratched! Quite a testament to the kind of person Aaron is. The litterbox was spotless. The cat food dishes were washed and neatly stacked. We will not hesitate to use him again.”
“Tabby was wonderful with my cat! She was sweet, reliable, and my cat seemed to really like her immediately. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my cat was in good hands. I'd definitely book with her again!”
“Judy was a lifesaver! Not only did she do everything the way I asked (and I can be pretty particular) her updates were informative, and she was always so kind. Then my plane flight was cancelled due to weather and I couldn’t fly home for two more days, without hesitation she was able to keep coming out to see the animals. She’ll be my first stop anytime in the future when I need some Rover help! Thanks again, Judy!”
“Dixie is a caring and professional pet/house sitter. I am 100% comfortable having her stay with my pets, even for longer periods of time. Most recently she stayed at my house for 11 days and everything was great when I returned. She sends daily photos and keeps you posted without being prompted. I highly recommend Dixie!”
“Jesse does a great job of keeping the animals on schedule and I was so relaxed all day knowing he was coming by to check on them twice while we were at a ball game in Athens.”
About: I’ve had every type of pet under the sun from dogs to cats to reptiles and love them all the same. Very experienced with all breeds and able to handle very large dogs / gentle with very small kittys. I am available 24/7 to meet the needs of our best friends. I treat animals like kids they deserve the world. Willing to help anytime. I live in a house with a decently large back yard, 2 dogs and 1 cat but enough space to keep animals separated if yours don’t get along with others. Easy paved walk or a simple mountain trail close If your dog requires more intense walks.

“Stefanie was great with my fur baby Lizzie. Lizzie has anxiety and can’t be left alone or put in a kennel. Stefanie stayed with Liz every minute why we were gone. Stefanie took Lizzie on long walks in the woods and down to the lake. Stefanie updated me through out the day letting me know how Liz was doing and even sent me pictures of Liz through out the day. Liz stayed with Stefanie two days in a row. The 2nd morning we took Liz, she was so excited to see Stefanie. That means so much to a pet owner when your pet is happy to be with someone in their care. We will be using Stefanie again when we are back in the area. Thanks so much your the best Stefanie!”

“We’re so attached to River that he only ever stays with us or at his “home sitter’s “ house. While camping near BlueRidge we decided to take the scenic train. Pets aren’t allowed. We found Judy with 5 stars and rave reviews and we are so thankful we did! She took him hiking and loved on him and he did very well. We were anxious to get a sitter in an area we didn’t know anyone. Now we have a wonderful sitter when we come back to the area. Judy sent pictures and let us know River was doing well! I 100% recommend!!”
“We love Licia and Pete and are SO GRATEFUL to have such a pup-loving couple to hand our precious Sachie off to when we go rafting. Wish we could tip more, but River only allows so much. I always get a check in call from Licia to confirm all details early on (so I don’t have to initiate the call!) and our little baby comes back super happy and well-taken care of. Thank you sooo much for another great rafting trip! We appreciate you!!!”
“We had our three dogs spend a day with Kathrine while we were visiting the North Georgia Wildlife & Safari Park during a week long stay at Unicoi State Park. They say they each give Ms. K four paws up for a fantastic visit for a total of 12 paws up. We unfortunately got a flat tire just before reaching her house, so we had to do a tire repair there and we got to see how quickly our pups calmed down around her as a new person and being in a new location. We definitely would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Emily was SO helpful with our pup Luca who needed care last minute. He is getting over a pneumonia and I felt so at ease knowing Emily was watching him while I was at work.”
“Stephanie was amazing with Teddy while we explored the city! You can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. We had been traveling with Teddy for over two weeks, and she even gave him a bath so he was clean and fresh when we picked him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“My pups had a great day with Megan. They are nappy after having a yard to run and play. Megan is great about staying in contact with pictures and responsive to my texts. I am already booking future dates of fun.”
About: I have 5 dogs and a cat of my own. My friends and family have trusted me for years to take care of their fur babies while on vacations/nights away for years. I work from home, so I’m available to give my attention to fur babies all throughout the day. Your animals would be free to play all day.

I'm also skilled with caring and training pups! All my dogs have been raised and trained through positive behavior, so I'm ready to help train your sweet babies! Also, my previous soul-dog, Duck, experienced long-term healthcare needs and emergencies, all of which were handled with absolute care, precision, and peace to cause less stress on him.

I'm also happy to send update pictures of your fur-baby.

“Her flexibility was so very important on this trip and she went with the flow of our revisions amazingly well. She's terrific and very loving to our dog Betsy who is deaf and 13 years old. Betsy was held and cuddled the entire stay. It's obvious that she's a committed and caring dog lover. What a treasure in these hills!

About: I’ve cared for my two Aussies for over 6 years and my cat for more than 9 — we’ve shared countless outdoor adventures and even traveled through parts of Europe together! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and nothing makes me happier than playing with them, helping them burn off energy, and snuggling up for cozy indoor days. Your pet will be treated like family — loved and cared for as if they were my own! I have 3 years of on/off use with Rover. I am currently at home full time until late June, and then unavailable until August with military training. My days with your pet are very flexible! I’ve recently moved back to my lovely hometown in North Georgia, where I now have 3 acres of fully fenced pasture and backyard space for pets to run, explore, and play safely. It’s the perfect environment for dogs who love being outdoors while still having a cozy home to relax in. No part of my home is off limits—we love snuggling on the couch or in bed. Dogs must be comfortable with cats!

At Rover Pet Sitting Services, I offer in-home pet sitting. Here's a breakdown of how I care for pets in this setting: In-Home Pet Sitting: When providing in-home pet sitting services, I visit your client's home to care for your pets. During these visits, I prioritize the following: 1 Feeding and Watering: I follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules and dietary requirements, ensuring your pets receive their meals on time and in the appropriate portions. I also ensure they have access to fresh water at all times. 2 Exercise and Playtime: I engage your pets in physical activities to keep them active and stimulated. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or having fun with their favorite toys, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. 3 Medication Administration: If your pets require medication, I am experienced in administering oral medications, topical treatments, or injections as per your instructions. I make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and timing diligently. 4 Bathroom Breaks and Litter Box Cleaning: I take your dogs outside for bathroom breaks, ensuring they have regular opportunities to relieve themselves. For cats, I clean and maintain their litter boxes, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene. 5 TLC and Companionship: I provide lots of love, attention, and affection to your pets. I understand the importance of companionship and make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in my presence. 6 Home Maintenance: While caring for your pets, I also take care of basic home maintenance tasks. This includes bringing in mail, watering plants, and rotating lights to give your home a lived-in appearance.
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs for more than 20 years. I’ve got 3 pups at home and I am available all the time. I’m new to the area and would enjoy getting some extra walks in. If you need dog walking or dog or cat visiting, feeding, schedule maintenance, I can help. I’m not currently working so I have loads of availability and flexibility. I am a morning person. I am new to the area so I have a lot of free time. I will care for others’ pets however they need me to care for them! I am accommodating to their established routines for optimal comfort for the pet when their person isn’t available.
“Recently starting using Rover and Terri has been the only dog walker I've used on this site. She has truly been amazing and definitely puts me at ease knowing that my Sadie is being taken great care of while I'm away at work each day. I cannot express how much I would highly recommend her service and do not know what I'd do without her!! My dog Sadie (and even my cat Milo) absolutely adore her and Sadie always has a big smile when Terri comes to visit her. Thank you so much Terri!!”
About: I am NAPPS Certified, and dog and cat first aid and CPR certified. I have an active kennel license for Lake Chatuge Pet Sitting, LLC in Georgia. I take my four legged guests well-being very serious, and provide a home environment with love, exercise, playtime, and individualized attention. Your dog is part of my family and treated like my own! My house is a cage/crate free environment and dogs are welcome in every room. I have beds set up in all rooms but I often find my visitors on the couch. I do not crate dogs unless requested by the owner and the dog brings his crate with him. Some dogs feel more comfortable sleeping in their crate from home and it is part of their routine. I am experienced with administering medicine and caring for special needs and aging dogs. I have experience with dogs suffering from separation anxiety and go out of my way to make them feel comfortable, calm and secure. A typical day includes supervised playtime and a 3-5 mile walk. All dogs receive a bath as needed and I will continue any basic training and potty training while the dogs are staying with me. I will never leave your dog unsupervised in my backyard or let him/her off leash during our walks. Your dog’s safety, health and well-being are my top priority. I understand that leaving your dog to enjoy a vacation can be stressful; I provide daily updates with pictures or videos and do not mind phone calls to ease the pet parents mind. We love and welcome all dogs, from couch potatoes to rambunctious puppies, as long as they are not aggressive, and do not try eating our cat! I'm currently home full time and my schedule is flexible. I usually walk 3 times a day but can accommodate extra walks or potty breaks. I start by building trust with my new dog or cat and use positive reinforcement. I focus on fun and making my four-legged guest happy and enjoy their stay. I follow the instructions provided by the pet parents to maintain their regular routine and make their stay more comfortable and enjoyable.

I am currently working part time and have plently of hours throughout the weekday and weekends where i can provide company, playtime, walks, or even house sitting. Schedules are most important for dogs to feel comfortable and less anxious. I would adhere my best to the owners timelines and Schedule to help make sure their fur babies stay as stress free as possible and living happy long lives!
About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, but especially since I got my own cat around seven years ago. I'm deeply passionate about animals and animal care, and absolutely adore being around pets of all shapes and sizes!! Additionally, I've worked as a veterinary assistant, so I have much experience with all different breeds and personalities! I'm currently between jobs otherwise, so I'm happy to be wherever, whenever! I'm happy to fit absolutely anyone into my schedule, whether on short notice or in advance. I follow instructions very dutifully and will attend to your pet exactly how you instruct me to.

About: I am passionate about taking proper care of your pets and looking out for their needs such as exercising them and of course, belly rubs! I am totally flexible. I do not have any sort of other job or responsibilities. However, I do ask for at least one week notice. I specialize in doing overnight stays in your home as I do not have any pets of my own. No husband no kids, no grandkids. So I am flexible to spend a lot of time with your pets while you are gone. If you prefer, I can board your dogs in my home. I have a fenced in yard and we exercise every morning on a walk or an outing in a peaceful,safe and quiet country setting. I never have more than 4-5 dogs at a time, so everyone gets lots of individualized attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all shapes, breeds and sizes! I’ve also taken care of a plethora of other animals. I’m comfortable bathing, dogs, and the occasional cat. I’m currently in school online and am raising a toddler alongside my husband and family on the same property. I also have 2 dogs, 2 horses and a bunch of other little critters I take care of daily. We don’t have a super set schedule, but things always get done. Although, if I’m given a schedule I will follow it to a T! I can do whatever you/your pet is comfortable with, apart from off leash walks, because I cannot be held responsible for a dog not recalling. But whether that be crating while leaving them, taking them outside in a fenced yard, or taking them on leashed walks varying in length, I am ready to car for your pet!

“We have utilized Rover four times over the last two years ... each time we have been disappointed. Until now. We booked with Stefani to watch our German Shepherd (who is 110% a people-dog) for 8 days. Stefani gave her so much one-on-one attention, long walks, unlimited play time, and all the things dogs love that she whined as we pulled away from her house! We received videos and texts every day with updates. Stefani will be our go-to dog sitter from now on! We almost did not book with her because we thought $55 was kind of high for dog sitting, but compared to the local kennels, the care and attention our dog received with Stefani was far superb than the top rated kennel in our area. She was worth every dime and we will absolutely recommend her and use her again!”
“Robin was awesome! First, she graciously accepted Coconut last minutes with no hesitation. Second her background makes her a animal lover (horse ranch manager) Coconut was a very happy guy when I picked him up. I will go to NOONE else in the Yosemite area for dog care. Very loving dog sitter! Don't hesitate. Cannot beat her prices! Thank you Robin, you rock!”
“Our senior dog, Maggie, loved her stay with Laura and her family. Laura sent us pictures and kept us informed on how Maggie was doing with her. I would definitely use Laura again! Maggie felt like she was on a vacation!”
“So very thankful for Kathrine! She boarded our two fur babies for us on very short notice. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Would trust her with Lottie and Teddy anytime.”
“Stephanie and her family took such great care of our dog while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures and videos. Even gave her a bath! I couldn't have asked for a better experience for us and our dog. Thank you!”
“Frank was GREAT! He provided loving care to Willa. She was happy and spoiled when we returned, just like we wanted. Frank kept in touch with pictures and texts. He is reliable and left my house clean. I never had a moment's worry while I was away.”
“Amanda was great. She accepted Whinehead at the last minute and even picked him up. We had a time delay so she worked with us on that. Would definitely recommend! Seemed like after a few hours Whinehead warmed up to her. He doesn’t do that to everyone. Thank you Amanda!”
“Emily was the absolute best! She has a perfect environment for dogs and cats to have a fun and relaxing stay. My cat and dog both loved staying with her and I will definitely board them with her again!”
“Kate was excellent in caring for my little Khloe while I was away on a business trip. She is very friendly and even arranged a meet and greet before the drop off day. Kate was excellent with communication and sent me daily updates and pictures of my pup. Overall it was an excellent experience and Kate made me feel comfortable about having to leave my pup for a few days. I already rebooked Kate for my next business trip!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶
“Judy is a wonderful and caring individual and pet sitter. Our dog Bull was so well taken care of and welcomed by Judy into her house and life for his entire stay! Five stars isn’t high enough to express our gratitude for such a caring person.”
About: Hey, I’m Zachary! I’m the guy who ends up hanging out with the dog at someone else’s house. I know leaving your dog with someone takes trust, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re getting plenty of attention and being well cared for. Tell me their routine, their favorite things, and any little habits I should know about—I’m happy to keep things how they’re used to. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel at home. And I’ll send pictures along the way, because I know you’re going to miss them. When I take a booking, I make sure I have time for the care and attention your dog needs. We’ll go over their usual schedule beforehand so meals, walks, and potty breaks stay as close to their normal routine as possible. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your dog with me, so I’ll ask about their habits, any special needs, and what helps them settle in. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.
“Joyce was a pleasure to work with. I felt really comfortable leaving my pack with her. There is a big yard for the dogs to frolic in and the boys were able to stay in a room and play together with out mixing with other dogs. My pack can be a little quirky and she was able to roll with their personalities wonderfully. Her daily updates were hilarious and it felt like she cared for my boys like they were her own.”
About: Hey fur parents, I just wanted to come on here and provide a 5 star service to you and your fur baby! Here’s a little bit about me… I’ve pet sat, walked pets, administered medication to many pets that require it on a day to day basis (via orally and injection), and many drop-in visits for a little over 5 years now to highly anxious, aggressive, and elderly animals. I’ve also worked it the veterinary field assisting doctors to provide hands on care to your fur baby for a little over a year now. I’m also in with the AKC. I compete with dogs in conformation, agility, dock diving, scent work, and barn hunt etc. and have been doing that for about a year with all types of breeds and sizes. I have always had a special connection with dogs and all animals for that matter and enjoy every second I can get with any of them. I look forward to doing some pet sitting or walking for you and your fur baby! I work part-time at the veterinary clinic (2 times a week for 5 hours a day) which gives me plenty of time during the week to play with your precious fur baby! I’m also a college student who has recently switched to online classes giving me even more time with your pet! I have a fenced in yard for endless potty breaks and plenty of play area! I have two loving Labrador retriever’s dogs to bring your pet a buddy to play endless tug of war with or if your pet isn’t on the energetic side just a good ole snuggle buddy! 😁
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, but I have always had a soft spot for dogs. I currently have a senior pup at home who is living his best life. In addition to caring for our family pets, I have helped family and friends care for their furry family members. Bringing in your pet to my home is a great way for me to love on as many furry friends as possible! I currently work full time job so I am currently only available on the weekends, Friday - Monday. I provide boarding, dogs walks and drop in visits. My home has a fenced yard, a little guy named Buddy to play with (if he chooses) most of the time he likes to stay to himself! We can play fetch, go on walks around the neighborhood or just chill. This will all depend on what your pet likes the most! Your pet will be crated when I go out and at night for their safety!
About: I've owned, fostered and cared for dogs for 20+ years. I'll treat them like they're my own. I have cared for hospice pets as well and have a special place in my heart for seniors. I work from home most days. My schedule is very flexible so I'm able to provide the level of care and attention that your pet needs. Your pets deserve more than just a quick check-in—they deserve real attention, care, and companionship. I provide in-home pet sitting so your pets can stay in their routine and feel completely at ease. From walks and hikes to feeding and quality time, I make sure they’re not just cared for, but genuinely enjoyed and loved while you're away.
