“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
“Tiffany did a great job looking after our dogs while we were out of town. Great to work with and would recommend to anyone that needs a place for their dogs to stay.”
“Gypsy enjoyed her stay and wants to go back again when she has to stay behind. It was nice to get pictures and updates each day! We recommend Angela and give her two paws up!”
“Grant and his wife were fantastic! Daisy immediately was happy to be in their space and meet their sweet dog, Tuff. They provided us picture/video updates and were flexible with an earlier drop off time than originally planned on. Upon picking Daisy up we could see how well they cared for and loved her. (: We will absolutely use Grant again in the future!!”
“My dog had the best time, and she was loved so well! So grateful for how at peace I was with her being away from me. If you want your dog to receive special love and attention this is the place to get it! Will be my first choice anytime I’m going to be gone. Thank you!”
“Karissa and her family took care of our Lucy like she was part of their family! I will definitely continue to have them watch our girl when we are in need of a boarder!”
“Tammy was great! She kept in contact with me and sent photos. I felt at ease with her watching Jasper. When I got there to puck him up, he was happy and relaxed. I can tell he was well taken care of!”
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!
About: I have had pets in the house my whole life. My grandpa had a farm so I have been around animals since I was little. We have even had several pet pigs that were litter box trained. When I was younger, I would sneak stray cats into the house so they would have a place to stay and I always made sure to feed any stray animals that were too scared to come to anyone. I am that person that always stops if I see an animal wondering around outside, even in areas where I probably shouldn't even stop at stop signs. I have two boys, 7 and 19 months old that share my love for animals. We would be thrilled to spoil and love on your pets if you are planning a trip out of town or just need someone to stop by so your fur babies can have some play time and a bathroom break. I work full time close to Lambert Airport so I have limited availability during the week. On the weekends I am typically home amd welcome any dogs to stay with us as long as they are up to date on vaccines and currently taking flea and tick treatments. Our pups are just like family members. They have free roam throughout the house and are allowed on furniture. We have several dog beds, plenty of toys, and a fenced in backyard.
About: I’ve stayed home alone with cats and dogs and had to take care of them. I absolutely love cats and dogs and always go to pet stores to look at them. I always walk up to stray cats and dogs to feed them. I’ve never had any problems from family members in the past from sitting their own animals. I’m currently a student in college. Trying to make a living for myself. And I figured I love cats and dogs so why not watch them and earn money! Back home I have a dog and a puppy that play around a fenced yard. I have been around them on my own waking up early, to feed them and let them outside to go potty or play. And then have to watch them all day.
About: I have trained puppies and have had multiple pets. My friends are always asking me to help with their animals, even financially. I love the meet and greets and spending my time with animals! I am only Doordashing right now for work and pet sitting so my hours are very flexible! I am pregnant though! But that has no effect because my boyfriend tends to help me with the animals so that your animal is busy all day when he is home and I try to spend some time Dashing! We have ample time for any hour for feedings, walks, playtime, or potty breaks! I am safe and reliable. Always on my toes and ready for a fun day with a pet. I hope you will entrust me. I do not steal and or trash anywhere I go.
About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals and am not afraid of anything. Being blessed with a companion is a gift from life itself. I have experience with medication management, boarding, leash training, etc. I am actively learning grooming. I work full-time at a Transitional Living Program for foster youth. I work Monday through Friday. I typically go in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6:45am and leave by 3:00pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually work from 8a-4p. I am able to leave my work to check on animals as long as they are within a reasonable distance. Weekends I’m pretty free. I have a fenced in back yard. I am able to take your pup to the park and walk. I have an SUV that is kennel friendly. Kenneling your pets in your car is a must and is the safest way of transportation. Personally my pets eat in the mornings. My pets are all kennel trained.
About: I’ve taken care of animals as small as rats and fish ranging to livestock since I was young! I have had all myself and they’ve all been spoiled and happy as long as I’m around. Your pets will be able to tell I’m an animal person and you’ll be relived to go away as your pets will be in great hands! I’m currently working part time at horse stables and still have plenty of time to go spend time home to care for my fur babies and my bigger outside babies lol. My life is technically revolves around my pets care and my part time job is taking care of huge animals that need extra attention, and before this I worked on a diary farm taking care of even bigger animals. at home I make do , I have a huge yard out in the country, I can use the electric collar if needed, leash, or off leash with recall as I do have a horse on the property and another dog and outside cats who they may chase. Any clients home I do the job I came to do and then I do anything extra to make the client feel as if I didn’t just do my job and actually enjoyed and felt comfortable with their pet taking a picture video giving treats extra pets and cuddles etc…

“Diane is the best sitter ever. Flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sends so many photos of your fur babies having fun. Next time I need a sitter they will be visiting their new friend Diane again!”
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles for about 10+ years. I have worked at a kennel before taking care of dogs and cats that were boarded!

I currently work part time and go to school but it’s a flexible schedule so I will make plenty of time for your fur baby! I will not be offering your pets to stay at my own home however I can ensure you I will be over at your house caring for your pets and watching them when I am not at work or school.

I’ve also had a dog of my own for 5 years and I had one for 11 years before my fur baby now!
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.
“TeAsia was so sweet and loving toward my cat, Stu! He was well taken care of and comfortable with her 😊 She’s got a great cat-centric room that he adored. She provided lovely updated and pictures while I was out of town. He can’t wait to go back!”

About: My house is full of love we love all pets big and small we have chinchillas, birds, cats and my dogs and they will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. Also for pet sitting I offer multi pet family discounts because as someone with many pets I get it pet care can be expensive. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. Starting in 2020 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 9 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.
“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”
About: Hello! Thanks for viewing my profile. I live on small farm in rural area with plenty of acreage to run around and play with our 2 friendly dogs. We have had dogs in our lives for a long time as a kid and now as a family of 4. We also have cows and chickens on our property. Dogs are welcome in my home and will be well loved and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your dog. I am available evenings, weekends and most holidays. I will send daily pictures while your dog is in my care. :) I’m currently working full time but home in evenings and most weekends. I have two children who love dogs and love to play with them. Our kids will love to have a new dog friend(s) to run around and explore and play ball with. We live on 9 acres and have 2 friendly dogs. Plenty of land for the dogs to run on. I will stay outside with pets when they are playing and going potty. We can easily crate if needed. I also maintain a clean pet friendly home. We do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning, trash is kept out of reach.
About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

“They were so awesome, my dogs barely even knew I was gone. Updated me with pictures and little quirks which let me know my guys were happy and well taken care of. Sincerely grateful for the peace of mind they provided me during a really stressful trip.”
About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.

Starting in 2020 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 9 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.

“This was only our first meeting with Brad. We booked him for 1 hour prior to a planned pet sitting stayover to meet us and our loving boy Jackson. To familiarize Brad with Jackson's routine, we wanted him to join us while we took Jackson on his daily walk. Brad was attentive and asked thorough questions about Jackson's care. They got along right away. We feel more comfortable having scheduled a longer initial meet. It gave us more peace of mind in knowing that the care and well being of our sweet baby and the care and regard for our home will be in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
“Tiffany did a great job looking after our dogs while we were out of town. Great to work with and would recommend to anyone that needs a place for their dogs to stay.”

“Grant and his wife were fantastic! Daisy immediately was happy to be in their space and meet their sweet dog, Tuff. They provided us picture/video updates and were flexible with an earlier drop off time than originally planned on. Upon picking Daisy up we could see how well they cared for and loved her. (: We will absolutely use Grant again in the future!!”
“My dog had the best time, and she was loved so well! So grateful for how at peace I was with her being away from me. If you want your dog to receive special love and attention this is the place to get it! Will be my first choice anytime I’m going to be gone. Thank you!”
“Karissa and her family took care of our Lucy like she was part of their family! I will definitely continue to have them watch our girl when we are in need of a boarder!”
“Tammy was great! She kept in contact with me and sent photos. I felt at ease with her watching Jasper. When I got there to puck him up, he was happy and relaxed. I can tell he was well taken care of!”
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!
About: I have had pets in the house my whole life. My grandpa had a farm so I have been around animals since I was little. We have even had several pet pigs that were litter box trained. When I was younger, I would sneak stray cats into the house so they would have a place to stay and I always made sure to feed any stray animals that were too scared to come to anyone. I am that person that always stops if I see an animal wondering around outside, even in areas where I probably shouldn't even stop at stop signs. I have two boys, 7 and 19 months old that share my love for animals. We would be thrilled to spoil and love on your pets if you are planning a trip out of town or just need someone to stop by so your fur babies can have some play time and a bathroom break. I work full time close to Lambert Airport so I have limited availability during the week. On the weekends I am typically home amd welcome any dogs to stay with us as long as they are up to date on vaccines and currently taking flea and tick treatments. Our pups are just like family members. They have free roam throughout the house and are allowed on furniture. We have several dog beds, plenty of toys, and a fenced in backyard.
About: I have trained puppies and have had multiple pets. My friends are always asking me to help with their animals, even financially. I love the meet and greets and spending my time with animals! I am only Doordashing right now for work and pet sitting so my hours are very flexible! I am pregnant though! But that has no effect because my boyfriend tends to help me with the animals so that your animal is busy all day when he is home and I try to spend some time Dashing! We have ample time for any hour for feedings, walks, playtime, or potty breaks! I am safe and reliable. Always on my toes and ready for a fun day with a pet. I hope you will entrust me. I do not steal and or trash anywhere I go.
About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals and am not afraid of anything. Being blessed with a companion is a gift from life itself. I have experience with medication management, boarding, leash training, etc. I am actively learning grooming. I work full-time at a Transitional Living Program for foster youth. I work Monday through Friday. I typically go in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6:45am and leave by 3:00pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually work from 8a-4p. I am able to leave my work to check on animals as long as they are within a reasonable distance. Weekends I’m pretty free. I have a fenced in back yard. I am able to take your pup to the park and walk. I have an SUV that is kennel friendly. Kenneling your pets in your car is a must and is the safest way of transportation. Personally my pets eat in the mornings. My pets are all kennel trained.
About: I’ve taken care of animals as small as rats and fish ranging to livestock since I was young! I have had all myself and they’ve all been spoiled and happy as long as I’m around. Your pets will be able to tell I’m an animal person and you’ll be relived to go away as your pets will be in great hands! I’m currently working part time at horse stables and still have plenty of time to go spend time home to care for my fur babies and my bigger outside babies lol. My life is technically revolves around my pets care and my part time job is taking care of huge animals that need extra attention, and before this I worked on a diary farm taking care of even bigger animals. at home I make do , I have a huge yard out in the country, I can use the electric collar if needed, leash, or off leash with recall as I do have a horse on the property and another dog and outside cats who they may chase. Any clients home I do the job I came to do and then I do anything extra to make the client feel as if I didn’t just do my job and actually enjoyed and felt comfortable with their pet taking a picture video giving treats extra pets and cuddles etc…
