Personalized care for your dog or cat - Metamora

“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”

“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve also volunteered for dog shelters and watched family and friends pets on multiple occasions. I love puppies and older dogs. Everyone deserves to feel like they can leave their pet with a safe person who will love on their dog. I’m a very active person and take walks daily. My schedule is very flexible which makes it easy to be able to come home during the day and take dogs for walks or just be around at home to hang out. I care for them very much. My apartment has a dog park down the street as well as many grassed areas around to play and go potty. Nothing dangerous or unusual kept in house hold. I live with 3 girls all who have dogs at home and love taking care of them.

“Absolutely amazing experience for our small terrier mix. Melinda cared for her as her own on a last minute booking. Highly recommend.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and for years have been dog sitting for friends and family. I do have one small dog in my home who is friendly with other dogs and would enjoy the company of your pup! I work a full time teaching job Monday- Friday but will be home all evening and weekends with your pup! I usually walk my dogs in the morning before work and then again in the evening if weather permits. My dogs have been my children and they are allowed on all furniture and beds. They have a chill place to relax in my home as well as a large backyard! I live right next to a park so they get a regular walk each day. I do not have a fenced in back yard so your dog must be comfortable going out to potty on a leash :)

“Megan went out of her way to help my very anxious doggie deal with separation. My dog was delivered tired and well played with. It was great to have a napping pup while I unpacked from vacation.”

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and currently live with four large working dogs, (German Shepherds). I operate a Kennel, where I work with dogs through training and boarding, and I am actively involved in dog sports and AKC and UKC conformation. My experience is primarily with working breeds, including high-drive and energetic dogs, but I have worked with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and adjusting their care accordingly. Some dogs thrive on activity and training, while others need more time to settle in and feel comfortable. Dogs are a significant part of my everyday life, so caring for them is not something I have to fit around my lifestyle. It is simply part of it. I work a hybrid job, so my daytime schedule varies depending on which days I am working from home or in the office. Regardless of my work schedule, my early mornings and evenings are dedicated to the dogs and I spend multiple hours on my property interacting with them. A typical day includes outdoor time, exercise, individual attention, play, training or enrichment, and periods of quiet rest. I use a structured crate-and-rotate routine so that each dog gets intentional time out of their crate rather than simply being left loose for the sake of being "out." This structure allows me to give each dog meaningful one-on-one time while also making sure they have adequate opportunities to rest. I adjust the amount and type of activity based on the individual dog's age, energy level, and personality. I operate a successful dog training and board-and-train business outside of Rover, giving me extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and needs. This includes puppies, seniors, high-drive working dogs, and dogs requiring additional structure or individualized care. My home is located on a fenced property with space for supervised outdoor time and enrichment. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and Rover dogs are kept separate from my personal dogs to maintain a safe and comfortable environment. As a professional dog trainer, I am experienced in canine behavior, safe handling practices, and recognizing changes in a dog’s health or behavior. I keep a canine first aid kit readily available and take a proactive approach to supervision, cleanliness, and emergency preparedness.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and love building trust with each dog I care for. During the week I work full-time as a massage therapist, but my weekends are wide open for dog sitting. Whether you’re heading out of town or just want a relaxed date night without worrying about your pup, I’ve got you covered. I don’t have pets of my own, so I love soaking up quality time with your fluffy friend! I live on a quiet dead-end street with a wooded trail and a nearby cemetery—great for peaceful, walkable outings. Whether your pet stays with me or I stay in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Tereasa is great with our dogs! She is reliable and a great communicator. She lets you know how the drop in visit went and provides plenty of pictures of her visit. Highly recommended!!”

About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and have experience working with cats in animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats, and can administer medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust while maintaining their routine. You can expect attentive care, photo updates, and a calm, reliable presence to help your cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: i have taken care of a variety of cats with diverse ranges in size, personality, and friendly towards both strangers and close relatives. I have trained my own cat, Korin (aka Mufassa) well! To the point he’s comfortable with commands although he does not always obey! 🤣 he’s got a very rogue personality. Korin is over a decade old at this point but still in prime condition and health! I honed my cat caretaker skills over the years with many feline furry friends, and will likely always have one in my life as cats bring a certain balance to life that is hard to otherwise find. Cats tend to be the easiest animal to care for from my experience, as they are the most obvious to read. You know fairly quickly where you stand, with both dogs and cats, and no matter where you stand you can build from that by maintaining constant gas in your JEEP Jesus Enthusiasm Encouragement Peace Long as you operate in the JEEP everything will be exactly what it is meant to be🎶

“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”

About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.

About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.

About: I’ve loved taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing with, and bathing them. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities and always want them to feel safe and loved! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave me. I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.

“I went with my Scooter.He was friendly to my dog and me. We talked about the Bible, our children, and family life. We had a good conversation.”

About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!

“Loved what Jancie did with my dogs. They got attention from her all day. She sent pics several times during the boarding. My dogs were relaxed and seemed happy there. I highly, highly recommend Janice. She will get my business again. It was easy and low stress to deal with her!”

“Ellen did a great job! Scout and Holly seemed to really enjoy their stay! I would use her again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. As a proud Pomsky parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, loving, and dependable care while treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, extra cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also a mom of two girls who are both in school (elementary and middle school), so my daytime schedule is fairly consistent. I occasionally work evenings outside of the home, but I plan my schedule around my pet-sitting commitments and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. Since I have a pup of my own I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine and making time for plenty of exercise, play, and cuddles! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a privacy fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own pup!

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a cowboy corgi. I have also pet sat friends dogs and mini pigs! I'm ready to treat your family like my family. I work full time second shift at the local sheriff department as a dispatcher. My dog is not crated during this time. I do come home on my hour lunch break and let her out and play with her. I have a tie out for potty breaks and a large house to run around. Also visits to the dog park or tractor supply for a bath and some treats.
