About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets based on each owner’s preferences and routines to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced with leash walks, playtime, and outings like the dog park if approved.

About: I joined Rover to help feed my love of multiple dogs! Since I travel occasionally, managing one dog full-time is enough for me. However, I grew up with 3 to 4 dogs on average. Choose me and your dog will have all the love and attention! I’m in my 30’s and work from home remotely M-F. I volunteer at multiple rescues, so have recent experience with different dog sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I use to be an AKC Junior Handler in dog shows. My personal dog experience ranges from Papillons, Lab/Golden Retriever mixes, Goldendoodles, and a Doberman. I’ve also owned multiple cats growing up, so are also available for feline drop-ins. I even have experience with tiger cubs! I spend a lot of time with my dog and will give your dog the same attention. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnights. I currently work remotely from home so have a pretty open schedule to come take care of your pup at your home or housesit during the week. I take care of your pets at your home so safety is not an issue. This gives my customers an ease of mind that their animal is in it’s normal environment.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish and chickens. I can care for almost any animal with love and affection. I work remotely Monday thru Friday so I can care for your pet in my home during the week and I can do visits during the weekends I own my home. I have an extra large crate to accommodate any sized dog. I am more than willing to open my home and couch to your pet. 😂 Your rules are my rules. My yard has a large garden with many flowers and good things to sniff. And the local park has a stream and lots of wildlife.

“I am a first time pet owner and on 11/8 I dropped off Ruth (6.5 mo. Aussie) at the sitters (Aime) for the first time for approx. 7.5 hours. I am so very pleased that Ruth had a wonderful first time experience. During her stay Aime was very attentive, patient, and understanding to make sure Ruth had her toys, water, food, treats, and plenty of outdoor exercise (walks). As well as, sending updates of her experience. Also, Ruth played well with Aime’s Aussiepoo and am very happy that the two pups got along well. I believe both Ruth and I would love for Aime to watch Ruth again in the near future. Thank you again Aime for taking care of her.”
