About: I am a former healthcare worker with open availability. I used to live on a farm with various animals. Currently in between jobs and looking for a change of pace. I worked overnights for 4yrs and have been in healthcare for 15yrs. I have pretty open availability within reason. I would like a decent heads up to be sure I have the means to accommodate. My routine is very laid back and I watch for signs and cues. I have two dogs of my own. I love caring for and just being around animals. I live in a quiet neighborhod. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am willing to walk and give attention to each animal in my care.
About: I have three kids, one young adult and one teenager and one still in elementary school and they ALL have SO much love to give and are all experienced in pet caring as well. I always joke about how my children love animals more than humans and my girls are “animal whisperers”. We LOVE animals and have lots of care and cuddles to give each and every one. And we have all at times even saved both cats and dogs that were lost roaming around! It’s been such an amazing experience. My middle child one year for her birthday used her birthday money to gift the humane society with items for the animals there and we all used to go spend time with the animals there and volunteer for them as well I work Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. I have the ability to care for along walk dogs in the morning before work, or over my hour lunch break, and also after work and in the evening and in the weekends, even Sundays after church I have a fenced yard myself at home, however at other people’s homes I will not let their pet out without being on a secured leash
About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
“Julie did a wonderful job taking care of Luna! She went on lots of walks and had a great time playing! Julie's home is a lovely and safe environment and we feel very comfortable leaving our dog at her house. We will be back for more visits!”
“Kiera is amazing. I have never had to leave my dogs with anyone but friends and family before and was very worried. I have a large Great Dane and a Boston terrier mix. She wasn't afraid to have my Dane at all which was a problem I was having with finding a boarder for them. While they only stayed 2 days, it was 2 days where I wasn’t worried because she sent constant photos and videos. My Dane is my service dog, so I was extra cautious leaving him with someone I didn’t know but the moment I met her I knew they would both be safe. If I am ever in the area again I know I will be using her again!”
About: I've taken care of and have adopted dogs since I was 10 years old! I have also trained dogs, boarded, and even did grooming for awhile. I am currently going to college so I am home all day long. I have plenty of time through out the day to let dogs out, play with them, and give them a bath! I have a huge house, a huge yard, 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. All animals in my care are treated the same way I treat my own animals. My animals are my children.

I'm a cat mom through and through, and I know how crucial it is to have someone you can trust caring for your fur babies on days you can't. I'd be honored to meet your little love(s) and learn how to care for them like you do. I'm happy to stop by once or twice a day to feed, brush, play, cuddle - whatever they're used to - so you can focus on your time away.

“I needed care for my pets while we went out of town. I found Makinzee on Rover, and she took our older dog in for more attentive care, and visited the house once a day to check on our more self reliant animals. She did a great job, and Id definitely book her again!”
About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
“Madison was incredible! She watched my two older, very particular cats for nearly an entire week, and every time she checked in (with lots of photos!) I felt a huge wave of relief. She did everything she asked for and more! I would book Madison again in a heartbeat, and if you're looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and goes the extra mile then you should book her!”

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

I will also come to your house for a meet and greet if you schedule drop in visits, walks, etc. To allow for proper introductions and to make sure it is a good fit.

He is so easy to work with, very pleased with the service!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my older grandparents before and I’ve had my dog for 5 years now. I am experienced with dogs and also cats. I work full time at home so I am home a lot to take care of your animals if they need somewhere to stay! I have a dog who is a Labrador retriever who is very friendly with all animals and people! I have a fenced in yard. I will give them enough outside time along with enough potty breaks and always have water available to them!
“Amy was amazing for our puppies!! She was easy to communicate with and even sent me pictures to update me on how they were doing!! My puppies enjoyed their weekend away!!! Would definitely recommend her!!!!”
About: I have three kids, one young adult and one teenager and one still in elementary school and they ALL have SO much love to give and are all experienced in pet caring as well. I always joke about how my children love animals more than humans and my girls are “animal whisperers”. We LOVE animals and have lots of care and cuddles to give each and every one. And we have all at times even saved both cats and dogs that were lost roaming around! It’s been such an amazing experience. My middle child one year for her birthday used her birthday money to gift the humane society with items for the animals there and we all used to go spend time with the animals there and volunteer for them as well I work Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. I have the ability to care for along walk dogs in the morning before work, or over my hour lunch break, and also after work and in the evening and in the weekends, even Sundays after church I have a fenced yard myself at home, however at other people’s homes I will not let their pet out without being on a secured leash
About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
“Julie did a wonderful job taking care of Luna! She went on lots of walks and had a great time playing! Julie's home is a lovely and safe environment and we feel very comfortable leaving our dog at her house. We will be back for more visits!”
About: I've taken care of and have adopted dogs since I was 10 years old! I have also trained dogs, boarded, and even did grooming for awhile. I am currently going to college so I am home all day long. I have plenty of time through out the day to let dogs out, play with them, and give them a bath! I have a huge house, a huge yard, 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. All animals in my care are treated the same way I treat my own animals. My animals are my children.
“Taressa was wonderful. I was very nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time, but Taressa reassured me by sending me tons of pictures of her throughout her stay. I would definitely use Taressa again if I was ever in need.”
“Nicolea was very nice and friendly. I could tell she has a true passion for caring for animals. She sent updates and pictures of my dog during his stay. I was able to see his play area and there was plenty of space for him. He came home happy and playful. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Hello, I have many years of experience caring for animals including, but not limited to, dogs (5 lbs to 200 lbs), cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, and birds. I have lots of experience taking care of special needs and a few of mine are special needs as well. Your animal need extra care? I’m your girl! I work at a local dog training facility so my schedule is pretty flexible and I can provide your pet with the care and love they deserve! I will take the dog(s) on 1-2 walks a day, if weather permits, as well as a little activity throughout the day. If I have other dogs who are similar socially, they will get play time with other dog(s). This depends on if the dog is social and has similar play styles to another dog. I will not put any dogs who would not get along together.
About: Hi! My name is Kendall, and I’m a Health & Exercise Science student at Syracuse University on the pre-Physical Therapy track. I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog and have always been the person friends and family trust to help with their pets. I genuinely love animals and volunteer at the Humane Society, where I spend time caring for and interacting with dogs of all ages and personalities. My experience working in healthcare has made me dependable, patient, attentive, and compassionate. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine and is something I prioritize. I work PRN at a nursing home, which means I create my own schedule and have a great deal of flexibility. Because of this, I am able to schedule my work hours around pet care needs rather than the other way around. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, evening care, or overnight attention, I can provide consistent and reliable care throughout the week. I am responsive, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I care for pets in a separate residence where they can enjoy a calm, comfortable environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure every pet feels loved and at home while you’re away.
