“Norma took excellent care of my girls, Sunshyne and Chocolate!! One is newly diagnosed diabetic, and she took the time to come over ahead to learn how to give the insulin so I had no worries when I was away for a week! She and her husband Phil spoiled them and treated them like their own family! She made them special a special treat and I got a nice printed picture of them and it looks like they were living their best life! I will definitely be booking her again!!”

“Caitlin and her family were the absolute BEST pet sitters!! They watched my 2 yr old frenchie and 3 yr old blue healer and were phenomenal! Both dogs seemed to thoroughly enjoy their time with them. I would definitely recommend Caitlin to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

“Kattie was great with my 2 dogs. She was quick to respond, very accommodating for last minute booking and overall pleasant to work with. She took great care of my dogs and they left Kattie's house happy. Would recommend for your pet needs.”

About: I offer in home love for your animals. I will daily watch your babies. I help with rescues. I will bath them if you choose. I work from home so I am with your pets all day. If you have a routine for your pet I can accommodate. I do have to run errands with my business but not gone long. I have grandkids that love pets also. I have fenced yard and 3 dogs who are pet friendly. They are used to often fostering rescue dogs until homes are found and my dogs are well mannered.
About: I have a half acre fenced in yard, a 20x10 run pen, have fostered senior dogs and puppies for the shelter near us, I have worked with trainers before on how to get tips for our own dogs so I can be better equipped to care of others as well. I can also care for almost any animal at my house while you need a sitter. Small to tall! (Sorry I don’t have the set up for horses) Fish to big and small dogs, all the way to reptiles! I have experience with all of them. Daily, your animal will be watched 24/7. I strive to make sure every animal in my care is cared for like my own. So, your animal will never be left for more than a hour or two (the occasional doctors appointment). They will also be taken care of just like my own in they will get PLENTY of exercise! My dogs and dogs I watch are crated when we are not home. (Of course without collars on!) I spend at the very least 2 hours per day exercising with my dogs in the backyard. High energy dogs need outlets! I have experience from Yorkies to Shepherds to Belgians.

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life, having learned about pet health through years of experience with behavior, illnesses, basic pet care (flea and tick control and heartworms) and medicine distribution. I currently have 10 of my own in a home shared with my parents. I have dogs that range from 25-150 pounds, so no dog is too small or too large! I have a hearty desire to ensure your pets are cared for just like they are my own! NOTE: I wish to visit your pet before your booking begins to ensure that we get along well and that you, the pet-owner, can show me the basic ropes (where food is located, what a routine day is for your dog or dogs, etc.) I WILL watch multiple dogs for you! I am a full time pet care provider and groomer. I do have a part time job that is only a few days a week, for a few hours. I have animals in a fenced yard as well as on a wireless fence with collar. I do not take pets into my home for sitting, but I gladly come to them.

About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in the house, currently with a chocolate lab. At home, I used to take care of lots of neighborhood pets so I definitely have good experience with dog sitting! I have been actively dog sitting and recently fostered a puppy at my previous home in Dayton, OH, just was not listed on Rover. I am now in Columbus, MS for the military. I am flexible on pricing if something does not work out. I am pretty free at the moment for dog sitting! I can spend mostly all day with the pups! My schedule varies often, but I only go in to work a couple hours of the day as of right now. At home, my family has a large amount of land so I am used to going on long walks with my dog. I also love to walk my dog and others around the neighborhood. I love to play with pets and give them lots of love/attention :)

About: My dog Lucy and I love to play. We go for 30-minute walks (at least) every day, run around and play fetch in the backyard, and play tug of war with her toys throughout the day. We would love for your pet to join us! When I was little, I was the hired pet sitter in the neighborhood, plus I also had my own pets growing up. As an adult, I've had my own pets and have been hired to pet-sit for several friends' dogs and cats, both short- and long-term gigs, over the years. I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats and some dog grooming experience (although grooming is not my passion, ha). Weekends are when I consistently have the most time to focus on your pet, but I sometimes have some availability on weekdays. Just ask and I'll see what I can do! We have a fenced-in backyard (tall wooden fence) that is the size of an additional lot. The yard has a few shade trees and is mostly open grass. We have several toys to play with, both in the backyard and inside, including a water sprinkler. Your dog will not be left unattended in my care unless I need to run an errand briefly and they are secured according to your instructions (crated, etc.) We have a large dog crate your dog can use if you'd like so you don't have to bring yours back and forth. There are several safe places to go for walks nearby with lots of grassy areas.

About: I am a pet lover myself. I have had experience with many family/friends’ pets in the past including feeding and walking while they’re absent. My main experience begins with my golden doodle/blue heeler mix. I am equipped with experience dealing with high-energy dogs that hate to be on a leash and are in need of a big area for play time . Second comes my black Labrador retriever. He is a timid, large-for-his-age dog that is afraid of almost of everything. In which case, I carry him to quiet areas for walks. To me, pet care is by far the most rewarding and stress-reliever anyone could have. It provides time to enjoy the environment without feeling pressured. A fluffy partner always makes walks/caring better as well. From my experience, the best way is to always give them an area where they are free to play around! And also taking time to provide them company as well
