About: What sets me apart is the diversity and depth of my experience. I have cared for animals in AZA Accredited Zoos and Aquariums in addition to beloved pets. I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (CCTBS) with the Animal Behavior Institute, and my methods are backed by empirical scientific evidence. No matter what the service, I treat my responsibilities with the utmost care and attentiveness. I am also more than happy to accept reactive and fear-aggressive pups, for which much of my experience involves. :) Any pets under my care take priority in my schedule outside of my work as a part time driving instructor. The rest of the time I'm all theirs! I take pride in all of my work, and my level of pet care makes that very clear. I treat all animals with respect and kindness. My approach is positive reinforcement only - gentle, firm and backed by real science. With my experience caring for animals of all ability levels and temperaments, I am comfortable administering any medications. The same care, attentiveness, and professionalism applies to all of my work.

“Bethany took wonderful care of my little dachshund, Ilse! Her home is perfect for dogs with a big fenced yard and many balls. She sent daily pictures and went out of her way to make Ilse feel at home. Great experience!”

Sally E.

“Pam was a perfect match for Nikki. Calm, reassuring, active, and a true animal lover. This was Nikki's 1st time boarding. She was able to roam the house, took golf cart rides and walks. Nikki likes activity but also loves her quiet snuggle time. She got both. My husband and I were totally comfortable with Pam and Bob. We'll surely use this sitter again.”

“Cindy was amazing. I wish we lived closer so we could used her all the time. We told her our dog had accidents and she was very understanding and accommodating. She has a nice back yard and let our dog our often. We could tell our dog was very loved when we came back to pick her up.”

About: We are a family of 2 kiddos, who love hockey and choir and bellybean brings us all the laughs and cuddles. The Family is easy-going and very understanding of life circumstances. We pride ourselves on personal attention given to your fur babies and adventures outdoors. We currently have one golden retriever who is three years old as of December 2024. She is playful and friendly, submissive and calm. Any questions are welcome. I’m home based for work and enjoy helping with projects objects within a company as a consultant. I am available for puppy attention, overnight and long-term care for dogs that are vaccinated and treated for flea and tick. We are busiest in the winter months with personal sports, and open to adventures throughout the year/day with animals included. We have a safe environment. I do keep our bedroom doors closed. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to ask. Currently our pets are cared for not crate trained. Ing is an option however. I offer daily walks and multiple catch and throw opportunities daily.

“Madison is amazing!! I’ve never felt comfortable leaving my dog at a boarding facility because of his anxiety. Not only does Madison keep me up to date with what they are doing, but she sends pictures and videos! I know he’s in excellent hands with Madison, and will keep returning as long as she will be doing rover!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life from newborn to elder dogs. I previously assisted my ex-wife with Rover sitting for many years. I have handled a working dog for approximately a year. I work full time 12 hour shifts. I am able to care for dogs during that time if the owner is comfortable with the dog being left home for 12 hours. Otherwise I am off and home with my children the remainder of the week. I have a fenced in yard and private land and trails for walks. I try my best to exercise the dogs while they are with me weather dependent.

“Kelsey and her family made my pups feel at home the weekend they spent with them. They had never boarded before so I was nervous. She was very reassuring and communicative when I would text to inquire how they were. The dogs were safe and loved there. We would recommend Kelsey and her family as great place for your pet to stay.”

Michelle F.

“Kennedy was great about communicating and sending photos. Our dogs had a wonderful time and we would definitely leave Bowie and Pax with her again.”

About: I have a strong passion for caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and patience I give to each pet. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel as relaxed as possible. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need extra patience, slower walks, or medication reminders. I treat every pet like they are my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and care Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m organized and good at following routines, so I can easily stick to each pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care they need. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to and make a priority in my weekly routine When caring for pets, I adapt to their needs and the environment—whether in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. In my own home, I create a calm and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and cared for at all times, while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.

“We had Taylor come in for several drop in visits to care for our cat while we were gone for a long weekend. She made sure he was fed and litter box cleaned. She always sent pictures of him, which was really awesome! Her communication is great and fast! I would highly recommend Taylor!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for decades. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets. I do have a dog of my own. I am retired so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. Give me a try. I’m looking g forward to it. Thank you. I have one small dog named Gracie. I would walk your dog on a leash. Attention given to your pet. Thank you for your business.

About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

Katrina H.

“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”

Heather R.

“Taylor was very patient with Whiskey as it was her 1st experience with a walker and she was nervous. I will definitely have her back and do believe her and Whiskey will be the best of friends”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I've been 5 years old. Got my own cat at 10. I've been surrounded by a dog or cat since then. i'm not working at all and looking for a job to do. I got loads of energy and the cold don't bother me much anyways. I just walk dogs. But Ill make sure your dogs are taken care of and have extra water and a bowl every time I take em for a walk.
