“Fantastic! Lucy warmed up to her so fast and came back home wanting extra snuggles so know she got use to some lovings while I was away. House is super pet friendly and clean! Kept me updated and will use again”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! My dog fits right in to her pack and I feel comfortable leaving her there. She sends pics and keeps me updated on my dogs health as well. I recommend!”
“Great experience from start to finish! Cameron was welcoming and easy to communicate with prior to the boarding as it was up in the air the specific dates we needed for Blue. Cameron sent us pictures and even videos of Blue while we were away which was extremely nice as this was the first time Cameron kept Blue. We really appreciate Cameron and will request her again when we’re away!”
“Olivia was great. She sent pictures of our dog and was great at communication. Our dog looked like he was very comfortable. We will definitely be using her again. She was awesome!!”
“June and Eric were seriously so great! I left my kittie with them for almost 2 weeks and I got update texts and pictures every single day. The updates kept me at ease and the fact that she was the only animal there and I didn’t have to worry about her sharing her food or litter box or hiding from another animal the whole time was such a peace of mind. They are both very sweet and definitely experienced in caring for animals. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again!”
“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
About: I have 5 years experience as a veterinary technician in the Army for military working dogs and pets. I am now a stay at home mom and dog mom! I am trained in veterinary first aid, trauma care, and canine CPR. I can administer your pets medications if they require them while you’re gone. I am a stay at home mom now, so I have a very flexible and open schedule to meet all your pets needs! I will stay consistent with the any type of schedule your pet requires. I have a large open backyard, not fenced but I have a 50 ft yard leash for potty breaks with ample amount of space to run and play. I have three dogs of my own who love to make other doggy friends. I always supervise my 2 children around all pets. I can keep your pet crated if needed when I’m out of the house. My dogs are all up to date on vaccines and seen by a veterinarian yearly.
“Kendra was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures the whole time. This was the first time I’ve used a dog sitter and I will absolutely use Kendra the next time I need someone to keep my baby.”
“Giovanni was amazing with my cat, T'Challa. She sent updates with photos. I was put at ease when I met her and felt good about her caring for T'Challa. When needed again, I will definitely rebook.”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Brittany did a wonderful job with our boy Jax. She was very accommodating and responded immediately during his stay if we had questions or to check on him. He seemed to really enjoy his time with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I have had a love for animals my whole life. Starting in 2008, I got a certificate in Veterinary Assistant and worked in a clinic for about 3 years. Taking a break, I joined the Army, serving 3 years active duty, then dropping down to the Reserves, where I currently continue to serve totaling about 14 1/2 years so far. My husband is active duty Army as well. At our last duty station I started my degree for Veterinary Technician, which I continue to complete and also worked at Banfield for 2 1/2 years. I take my dog on walks almost daily. I currently am a stay at home mom, also an Army Reservist. Lots of time currently. I do plan on looking for a part time job in a veterinary clinic in the fall. I have one dog who is 9 and we have a good size backyard. My dog is currently kennel trained for when we are not home so I’m okay with kenneling your pet if needed.
About: Really any animal for me makes me happy I don't care if it's dog,cat,farm,reptile anything I enjoy keeping busy and animals do that for me I have 2 dogs 3 cats I've had farm animals before. I just like having something to do. I don't like sitting at home because I get bored I'm hoping to use this opportunity to walk doggies and get exercise for both of us just get out of the house in general. I'm available anytime after 630am till late in the evening. I am available at most times of the day. Just let me know if I can help you out. I live on 5 acres.

I have never had issues with my pets not getting along with any dogs and mine can always be in a separate area if need be.
“Megan is wonderful! We had never used Rover before and she made it so easy. The minute I met her and her family I knew our dog would be in good hands and we would have nothing to worry about. Will definitely use her again!”
“Shelby treated Ollie like he was her own and he was spoiled to no end! We are always worried at first when it comes to leaving him with strangers but it’s safe to say that Shelby has become part of Ollie’s family! We were given updates with pictures every day we were away without even asking. We will be using Shelby’s sitting services for all our future vacations!”

“Ella was amazing!!! She kept me updated on my little baby’s and listened to all my worry’s about leaving them alone for a few days. She was so sweet and both my cats loved her. I will be recommending her to everyone, and booking with her again 🫶🫶”
“I never thought I could leave my dogs in the care of a stranger . I have 3 toy Aussies and one has severe separation anxiety. 10 minutes in our meet and greet Colt who does not like strangers begged for Hollys attention and brought a toy he rarely plays with . Holly is such a gentle soul!!! I am blessed to have found her.”
“Ayla-Lynnette graciously accepted my last minute request for her to take care of my cats while I was gone on vacation with my husband. She was easygoing, flexible, knowledgeable, and understanding. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, cats, and dogs—which naturally led to a lifelong love for caring for and working with them. I pursued this passion academically by earning a degree in Animal Science and professionally by spending five years in the horse industry, where I gained experience in veterinary care, herd and barn management, as well as training and showing. I’ve also worked in veterinary clinics, where I developed strong skills in safe pet handling, basic first aid, and administering medications. In addition, I have experience with puppy training and basic obedience, and I’ve completed courses to certify my own dogs as Canine Good Citizens. Now settled with my husband, who is active-duty military, I enjoy providing calm, reliable, home-style care for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one baby boy who already loves his furry “brothers,” which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and enjoy adjusting to each dog’s needs—whether that’s dedicated playtime for high-energy dogs, structured walks, or a relaxed day with couch time and snuggles. Because I’m home, pets are never left unattended for long and are treated as part of the family during their stay. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed. High-energy dogs receive dedicated play and enrichment, while more laid-back pets enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of affection and snuggle time. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family—kept safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Riley was absolutely fantastic with my two cats! My cats have never had an “outside of the family” sitter before and can be extremely anxious because of this. However, Riley’s care for them made them less anxious and one of my cats, who is very afraid of people she doesn’t know and will hide, actually came out each visit and let Riley pet her multiple times! She also sent updates and photos of my cats, which I really appreciated. Riley is an amazing sitter, so I highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”

About: I bring more than just pet-sitting experience—I bring heart. As a devoted cat mom to two spirited male cats, I understand the rhythms, quirks, and quiet needs of feline life firsthand. Whether it’s administering medications with a calm touch or tuning into subtle shifts in behavior, I care for each cat as if they were my own. I specialize in creating peaceful, hygienic environments—yes, even deep-cleaning litter boxes is part of my joy. I believe that a clean space is a loving space, and I take pride in maintaining comfort and calm for every creature in my care. From playful pounces to midnight meows, I’ve lived the full spectrum of cat companionship. I offer intuitive, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s personality, and I’m honored to support their well-being while you're away.
“Megan did a great job "cat sitting" for us while we were on vacation, and we really appreciate her! She made sure Gideon was taken care of and sent us pictures each day when she visited, and she is a great cat photographer, that might be her actual calling. Thanks Megan, we'll definitely use you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was able to walk. I’ve always had dogs and cats. In 2021, I worked at a doggy daycare in Lexington, KY. I was in charge of caring for the boarding dogs, which included feeding, walking, playtime, and cleaning. I even administered shots and medicines to dogs that needed them. Over the years, I have taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets. I love animals more than the average person, and I will love your animals as if they’re my own. I currently work part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I attend college online, so I’ll be able to fit every one of your pet’s needs into my schedule!

I truly adore spending time with cats and pride myself on giving them all the love, care, and snuggles they deserve! Whether your fur baby needs playtime, pampering, or just a calm presence to keep them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m great at keeping routines, scooping litter, giving meds (when needed), and making sure every kitty feels safe, happy, and heard. I’m all about earning their trust and helping them feel right at home, even when you’re away! Your kitty’s comfort, health, and joy are my top priorities. Let’s make some purrs happen!
About: I have had animals my entire life— I come from a family who loved having animals; dogs, birds, cats, you name it. I have had my own pets for 5 years since I’ve had my own house(s) & my favorite compliment from anyone is when they comment on how well-behaved & friendly my pets are. I hike a lot & have taken my friends’ dogs on many walks. I’m the go-to person my friends & family ask to watch their pets, check on them, feed or walk them, etc. I’m extremely reliable & responsible— I value punctuality & kindness in all I do. I have a lot of free time and flexibility with my schedule as I work from home. I have plenty of time off on the weekends, as well. I always make time for animals and nature— that’s what brings me peace and balances out the work-week. I live in a lovely, largely grassed apartment complex with big stretches of yard for pets to play in and do their business. The area I live in in Newark is safe and there’s plenty of sidewalks and lovely trails near by for walking. My home is pet-friendly, both dogs and cats are welcome, they won’t be shunned from the furniture and they will always have a lot of attention as I work from home. I do have a cat as well, but she is very relaxed and friendly with all animals and people alike. My friends bring over their puppies and cats to play with Twig (my cat) all the time! I have lots of space for crates if needed, too— along with a litter box if I ever board another cat/kitten!

“This was my first time using Rover. I was a bit nervous but Kendra was great. She had me introduce my dog, Leo, to her dogs through the fence before bringing Leo inside the fence. The dogs interacted great. Kendra also sent me a picture of Leo letting me know things were going well. It's great to be able to get away and not have to worry about you pet. Thanks Kendra!”
About: I grew up on a hobby farm in Wisconsin and worked with many animals including cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, but my favorites were always the dogs. Growing up I can’t remember a time in which I haven’t been taking care of an animal wether it was walking them, feeding them, bathing them, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve. During the week I work from home. I’d be able to toilet your fur baby every 2-4 hours. We do have a yard with a fenced in portion they can play at.Your pup wouldn’t have to be alone as I have an 1 year old German Shepard for them to play with. We are very active including walks in the morning before work and after work. We are outside as much as we can be. I care for pets by waking up early in the morning for walks, make sure their tummies are full before I start work in the day. During the day since I work remote I’m able to cater to their needs and lifestyle. Every night we would end up going on walks in the neighbor hood or playing in our backyard.I know it’s hard to be away from your pets especially during vacation time. I would send picture updates of your fur babies during their stay.

I have a large fenced in yard & a home that accommodates dogs over people! My three pups LOVE friends to snuggle and play with 🐾

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred. I do not have any pets at this time, so I welcome pets into my home for care as well! In my home I offer a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. My organized, single level home provides an easy environment for dogs to relax, exercise, and feel at home while you’re away. I will maintain your pets routine in my home or yours!
About: I have had a variety of pets my whole life, and love spending time with animals. As a teacher I am available all day on weekends and in June and July, and am home by 3:30 throughout the week during the school year. With me your pet will receive excellent care, and all the love and cuddles they can stand! I have two children, ages 14 and 13. They love to cuddle on furry friends, but are old enough to understand if your pet prefers less affection. I have cared for dogs ranging from toy sized to giant, so regardless of your dog’s size we will welcome him or her here! I have experience with senior dogs as well, just recently losing my beloved 17 year old mixed breed, so I am familiar with the extra care needed for elderly dogs. Whether in your home or mine, I would love to care for your pet! I work from 7:30-3:00 Monday through Friday during the school year, and am off from late May through early August, during which time I am available all week. At your home I can provide most any service you request, including feeding, potty breaks, walks and exercise play, and of course belly rubs and head scratches!

Previously, I've spent 6 years working with a Humane Society, gaining extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. This role strengthened my skills in animal behavior, stress reduction, medication administration, special-needs care, and recognizing health concerns early. Through this work, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets and animals recovering from illness or trauma. I’m especially comfortable with: Dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, Shy, anxious or energetic pets. Senior pets and special-needs care Medication administration (oral & topical) Basic training reinforcement and enrichment. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away.

I am flexible with my day to day life and ready to accommodate to the needs of your pet. I have 5 dogs, 2 cats, a parakeet and a small hobby of caring for 3 goats and 7 chickens daily. So animal care is not a issue with my household. I have a fenced in yard which we utilize everyday. I have 5 dogs with different needs. I have 2 senior chihuahuas and a toy poodle, they enjoy their time snuggled on the couch watching TV. Or playing with small toys around the house. I also have a German Shepherd and a Husky. Both are high energy dogs, so they love going for walks, having playtime in the yard or working their minds with different enrichment toys or basic training. They all love other dogs, and are accepting to sharing their home.

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, my flexible college schedule, and the genuine love I have for pets. I’ve grown up with dogs, currently have a cat of my own, and have cared for both high energy and senior pets. I always treat each animal like they’re my own keeping their routines, comfort, and safety my top priority. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure every pet feels loved while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time to care for and play with your pups! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I love making time for walks, cuddles, and keeping your pets happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention. I always respect your space, keep things tidy, and provide updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make the time you’re away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Ayla was a wonderful sitter and walker! She even brought an extra food bowl for my pup when I told her I only had his water bowl! She was attentive, on time and lovely to work with! Thank you Ayla??”
“Kayla is wonderful with our Dottie girl! Dottie is so excited to see her. She is a new pup and Kayla is so patient, kind and playful with her!

About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.
“Im so thankful Kendra is able to walk my dogs. She responded right away when I first contact her and was able to walk them the next day. I love seeing the report cards with the pictures. I feel better knowing my dogs get out for a walk during the day.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, from Great Danes and Mastiffs, to chihuahuas and Teacup poodles. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior with special care requirements, I know how to meet them where they are—with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m confident handling medications, monitoring health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. And yes, I’m fluent in belly rubs, leash manners, and the art of a good treat toss. My training as a veterinary technician adds another layer of confidence and skill. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring subtle health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. Whether your dog needs special care or just a gentle presence while you're away, I offer both professional know-how and genuine affection. Im currently working part time from home, so I will have PLENTY of time to check in on your babies. I’m attuned to their moods, their health, and their quirks—whether it’s a sudden burst of zoomies or a subtle shift in appetite. Throughout the week, I build in time for deep-cleaning, play therapy, and medication routines when needed. I approach each task with intention and honor, recognizing how much trust goes into watching your home and pets. Clean water bowls, fresh bedding, and a tidy environment aren’t just details—they’re part of how I show love. I take pride in creating a space where dogs feel safe, soothed, and seen.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals, grew up on a farm, and currently live on one. I currently work with horses. I quit nursing to do something I love and work with animals. If I cannot give your animal the care I would expect mine to get for some reason, I won't take the job. I currently work with horses every day. I live on a farm where we have goats 🐐, horses 🐎, chickens 🐔, a pig 🐖, cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, a rabbit 🐇, and a guinea pig so I'm no stranger to animals. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own. If my scheduling conflicts with their care, I will simply turn the job down because it's just not fair to them. I'm not really about leaving them locked up. I enjoy playing with them, walking them, and getting to know their personalities.
About: I have been living with Pets since I was younger. I have always been good at taking care of animals. The love I have for pets is unspeakable I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure both you and your pet have a great experience. I owned a cat as a pet. For her I take care of her like she is a child to me lol. I make sure she is always stay healthy and entertained!
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
About: I grew up on a hobby farm in Wisconsin and worked with many animals including cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, but my favorites were always the dogs. Growing up I can’t remember a time in which I haven’t been taking care of an animal wether it was walking them, feeding them, bathing them, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve. During the week I work from home. I’d be able to toilet your fur baby every 2-4 hours. We do have a yard with a fenced in portion they can play at.Your pup wouldn’t have to be alone as I have an 1 year old German Shepard for them to play with. We are very active including walks in the morning before work and after work. We are outside as much as we can be. I care for pets by waking up early in the morning for walks, make sure their tummies are full before I start work in the day. During the day since I work remote I’m able to cater to their needs and lifestyle. Every night we would end up going on walks in the neighbor hood or playing in our backyard.I know it’s hard to be away from your pets especially during vacation time. I would send picture updates of your fur babies during their stay.
About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.
About: I am a nursing student commuting to Cleveland State University. Not only am I passionate about providing care for people, I am just as passionate about providing quality care for animals. I have two rescues dogs, both border collies, as well as two cats. Because of this I’m used to the high energy personalities that many breeds have. I have the patience and fortitude to handle any situations your fur baby presents. My school schedule allows for much flexibility to provide drop in visits for feeding, playing, and dog walking. I have many additional references available upon request! I look forward to meeting and bonding with your fur baby! I also have a lot of experience with administering insulin injections in both cats and dogs. I have a lot of flexibility schedule wise. I am in between transferring colleges, so I won’t start school back up until January of 2024. I provide a very safe and caring environment for all pets. Whether it be just a drop in, or an overnight stay, safety is always my priority.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
About: i have grew up with dogs. i have worked at a dog boarding/daycare place where we feed, water and let dogs out and cleaned up after them if they made a mess. i am completely free anytime during the day unless i have a doctor appointment which i would communicate with you about! so i would be free anytime to let your fur baby out and feed them and play with them for a while and just spoil them more than they already are! if your babies were in a kennel i would let them out and play with them for as long as y’all would let me and if you had a fenced in yard or if they do fine out in the yard without a leash i would play with them outside and before i would put your babies up i would take them on a walk and make sure they used the bathroom!
About: My name is Paige! I am a 24 year old dog groomer looking to further expand and reach out to the pet community to provide great services and any advice you guys may ask! I currently am the mother of two pups named Titan and Fallon, so I know that sometimes pups can be a handful! I am here to help! Please, feel free to reach out with questions! I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely fur babies! I am currently a dog groomer with about 2 and a half years of experience. I also own two dogs: a one-year old australian shepherd x australian cattle dog mix named Titan, and a five-month old great pyrenees x lab mix named Fallon. I also own six rats as of right now too! I’ve never had the experience of caring for someone else’s dog in their home, so allow me to tell you how mine are cared for at home! Each day, they get fed dinner at 7:30-8PM. This is because they don’t touch their breakfast, no matter how much we offer it! I mix in Kefir non-fat, plain yogurt with pumpkin, raw food as a topper, and an assortment of different fruits that benefit their health. Each month, they both get full groomings, which includes a bath, a brushout, their nails and teeth done, and a nice smelly cologne. I have a fenced-in backyard so they get to run around and play constantly! They are kenneled at night for their safety, so they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t when we’re asleep, as well as kenneled when we aren’t home - but I’m home a majority of the time, so it’s free roam most of the day!
About: I’m a passionate animal lover with 10+ years' diverse experience, including vet clinic, grooming, puppy training, and dog boarding. I pride myself in being organized, devoted, and dedicated to exceptional pet care for your loved ones. With a wide-open schedule, I'm available every day for walks, playtime, and boarding. Weekdays or weekends, I'm here to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. In a loving home setting, I prioritize walks and dog park visits for joy, always prioritizing safety. Compassion and trust define my care, ensuring a secure and contented experience for your furry friend.
About: I have had animals my entire life— I come from a family who loved having animals; dogs, birds, cats, you name it. I have had my own pets for 5 years since I’ve had my own house(s) & my favorite compliment from anyone is when they comment on how well-behaved & friendly my pets are. I hike a lot & have taken my friends’ dogs on many walks. I’m the go-to person my friends & family ask to watch their pets, check on them, feed or walk them, etc. I’m extremely reliable & responsible— I value punctuality & kindness in all I do. I have a lot of free time and flexibility with my schedule as I work from home. I have plenty of time off on the weekends, as well. I always make time for animals and nature— that’s what brings me peace and balances out the work-week. I live in a lovely, largely grassed apartment complex with big stretches of yard for pets to play in and do their business. The area I live in in Newark is safe and there’s plenty of sidewalks and lovely trails near by for walking. My home is pet-friendly, both dogs and cats are welcome, they won’t be shunned from the furniture and they will always have a lot of attention as I work from home. I do have a cat as well, but she is very relaxed and friendly with all animals and people alike. My friends bring over their puppies and cats to play with Twig (my cat) all the time! I have lots of space for crates if needed, too— along with a litter box if I ever board another cat/kitten!

“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”

“Great experience from start to finish! Cameron was welcoming and easy to communicate with prior to the boarding as it was up in the air the specific dates we needed for Blue. Cameron sent us pictures and even videos of Blue while we were away which was extremely nice as this was the first time Cameron kept Blue. We really appreciate Cameron and will request her again when we’re away!”
“Olivia was great. She sent pictures of our dog and was great at communication. Our dog looked like he was very comfortable. We will definitely be using her again. She was awesome!!”
“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.

I am trained in veterinary first aid, trauma care, and canine CPR. I can administer your pets medications if they require them while you’re gone. I am a stay at home mom now, so I have a very flexible and open schedule to meet all your pets needs! I will stay consistent with the any type of schedule your pet requires. I have a large open backyard, not fenced but I have a 50 ft yard leash for potty breaks with ample amount of space to run and play. I have three dogs of my own who love to make other doggy friends. I always supervise my 2 children around all pets. I can keep your pet crated if needed when I’m out of the house. My dogs are all up to date on vaccines and seen by a veterinarian yearly.
“Kendra was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures the whole time. This was the first time I’ve used a dog sitter and I will absolutely use Kendra the next time I need someone to keep my baby.”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Brittany did a wonderful job with our boy Jax. She was very accommodating and responded immediately during his stay if we had questions or to check on him. He seemed to really enjoy his time with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: Really any animal for me makes me happy I don't care if it's dog,cat,farm,reptile anything I enjoy keeping busy and animals do that for me I have 2 dogs 3 cats I've had farm animals before. I just like having something to do. I don't like sitting at home because I get bored I'm hoping to use this opportunity to walk doggies and get exercise for both of us just get out of the house in general. I'm available anytime after 630am till late in the evening. I am available at most times of the day. Just let me know if I can help you out. I live on 5 acres. I have a small fence area attached to my house where no other animals are. I would care for your pets as they're my own. I have never had issues with my pets not getting along with any dogs and mine can always be in a separate area if need be.
“Megan is wonderful! We had never used Rover before and she made it so easy. The minute I met her and her family I knew our dog would be in good hands and we would have nothing to worry about. Will definitely use her again!”
“Giovanna is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She took wonderful care of my dog, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. My dog is very anxious, doesn’t like being left alone, and needs lots of love, patience, and affection. Giovanna gave him all the warmth and care he needed, making sure he felt safe and comfortable throughout his stay. She sent me photos and videos every day, and we stayed in touch the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Giovanna to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. She truly loves animals, and you can see that caring for them is her passion ❤️”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute. Thank goodness she was available. She treated my dog like he was her own. She kept me well updated with pics of him like she said she would. I have no complaints. In the future if I need her again this is who I will be reaching out to. I recommend Kelcey to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Peyton was excellent. Very easy to book, quick to respond, and super smooth handover of our dog, Stella. Usually Stella gets nervous when we drop her off at a sitter's, but I think Peyton's confidence in just taking her leash and leading her into her house made Stella comfortable following her. We got daily updates and photos, and Stella seemed happy in every picture. I will definitely be using Peyton's services again (well, at least trying to, as I already went to book again, and she was already booked up, so obviously I'm not the only one who feels this way!) Fantastic experience!”
