Personalized care for your dog or cat - Mount Gilead

“My dog Star was well taken care of. He was provided with lots of cuddles and hugs while I was away. I think he even got a bath of some sorts. I will use Brooke again to watch Star if I go out of town. Thanks!”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Peaches. From the moment we arrived, she and her family seemed to connect with Peaches immediately. I was initially apprehensive about leaving her in a home with other dogs, but any concerns quickly disappeared when Peaches started playing with her new friends before we could even leave. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided daily photos and kept us updated on Peaches's eating habits and potty activities, which gave us great peace of mind. Peaches also enjoyed plenty of exercise, including daily walks on the nearby trails. It's clear that Michelle genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like part of the family. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Jessica was absolutely incredible with our two boys! We have two weenie dogs and by the looks of it they fit in perfectly at her house and with her other two pups! I will NEVER board or kennel my dogs again when out of town. To know they got the same love & attention from Jessica that they do at home made my heart so so happy! This was my first time using a site like rover and I highly recommend rover and Jessica for all your puppy sitting needs! ♥️”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens & cows! I love animals and hope to have a sanctuary of my own soon! I hope to serve you soon! I work part time in the emergency room, so I can usually move the sitting around my job! This is a great side job for me to make some extra money! I care for pets as if they were my own and I love them unconditionally. I have pets of my own and they are well taken care of!

About: Hi!! Born and raised in Alaska, I have my way down south to play soccer and study at Wingate University! A little bit about me - I had a dog for 18 years of my life and have taken care of every kind of dog (and other pets) since I was about 14. I LOVE animals and treat the ones I care for like my very own, which brings me not only joy but a lot of repeat customers! I also have experience fostering puppies/dogs. To add, I have experience with senior dogs and administering medicines. I am also very active and love getting outside/playing with your pets! I am a student athlete at Wingate University, however my schedule in the spring is fairly light. I have a couple classes in the morning and then am free for a couple hours during the day until practice at 4pm that usually lasts about 1-2 hours. I am completely free in the evening after that! Pet care would fit into my weekly routine per request of the client. Drop ins, walks, or check ins would be very doable, realistic, and enjoyable for me to do throughout the week! I care for the pets as I would care for my own. I take notes and make sure to follow all the clients requests about food, boundaries, behaviors, and anything else that is necessary. I also love to keep in touch with the client by sending them pictures/updates of their fur babies, especially if I am watching them for an extended period of time. If the client wanted to meet me prior to allowing me to care for their dog, I would gladly do so!

About: I’ve had multiple cats before I have been asked to watch other people’s cats they are definitely my fur babies I love them

“Sarah, you're amazing! I messaged her about watching the cats and she said yes right away. She was very professional and sweet. She took extra care and even brought in a package because it was raining. She kept good communication. I will definitely book again with her!”

Kayla P.

I appreciate all the sweet pics she sent of Dolly while i was gone along with updates:) my condo has a keyfob only entry and her flexibility in meeting me after a late flight home to drop keys was so incredibly kind and appreciated on my end. Dolly very much enjoyed being in Latrice’s care and ill absolutely be booking Latrice again the next time I’m out of town:)”

About: Since the age of 23, I have independently cared for three dogs entrusted to me by my mother. This ongoing responsibility has required daily attention to their feeding, grooming, and exercise routines, strengthening my time management, reliability, and caregiving skills. Since I stay at home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets and easily work it into my daily schedule . When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment with regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and stay in touch with owners with updates and photos.

“Forrest and Bubba had the absolute best time!!! They were absolutely exhausted when we brought them home. Thanks for taking such great care of our pups!”

“Alexa was so accommodating to my dog during her first experience in someone else's home. She kept me up to date with pictures, comments, and videos which was very reassuring. She took her to the dog park and made sure she got plenty of exercise. Alexa is a very calm person and great with animals. I was very thankful to have found her.”

“Xander had so much fun today at Stephanie's, she took good care of him.”

About: My love for pets started as a child. I have had several dogs in my life. A few I’ve chosen, and many I have taken in and rehomed. I was known in my hometown as the person to call if an animal needed a quick placement .. or a total new situation. I currently have a 110 lb, (gentle giant) rescue ,named Olaf, that I’ve had for 4.5 ears, two cats that fell into my lap within the last year, a bunny and a few fish. Olaf is getting older and doesn’t prefer much exercise anymore. Id love to walk your dog, pop in quick or care for your animals for an extended period of time. I currently work part-time for myself and have plenty of spare time to dedicate to the care of and needed company to your animals. Spoiling animals , within reason 😊, is what I love! My biggest concern is the safety of your pet first and foremost. I also highly focus on making sure their needs are being met while in my care. Every animal requires a different level of need. Bonding and providing comfort to your animal when you are away from them is just as important as their basic needs. I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t love me completely!

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).

“My fur baby loves walking with him weekly.”

About: I have been a professional trainer for over 15 years. I love puppies, small dogs, and bully breeds in particular. I am comfortable giving medications and providing custom care. Looking after your pets is my number once focus everyday and throughout the week. They are the first thing I take care of when I wake up and the last thing I take care of when I go to sleep. Dogs will be crated when not supervised. Backyard is fully fenced. Free time in the yard and house while supervised. Professional training available as well.

About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.

About: Hi! I’m Laurel! I’m a 21 year old college student with a passion for animals. I have been building my business, Fingers and Paws Pet Care, since May of 2025! Since then I have served over 30 happy clients, many of whom schedule regular walks/visits! I am committed to providing pets with a safe and engaging environment, and pet parents with peace of mind! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and an involved pet owner since elementary school! I began pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was in high school. I stayed in client’s homes while caring for their pets to avoid loneliness or a change in routine. This consisted of preparing meals, feeding, walking, giving potty breaks, playtime and other enrichment activities, as well as retrieving mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house maintains cleanliness. Oftentimes, clients would ask me to care for other animals in the home, such as geckos, turtles, and fish, which I am more than happy to do! I also offered drop in visits for neighbors’ pets in high school. This consisted of stopping by, preparing food, feeding, offering potty breaks, play time, walks, and litter changes if needed. Since starting Fingers and Paws, my pet care experience has increased exponentially. I have increased my range of services and now offer house sitting, boarding, drop in visits, walks, baths, and play sessions. Pet care is my full time job, though I am a college student! The majority of my classes are online so I can be as present as possible with your pets! I have one in person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00pm-2:15pm. Whether I’m hosting a pet or staying in their home, my routine depends on the pet’s routine! I discuss activity levels and a pet’s daily routine with owners before booking a visit. This includes feeding times, walk schedules, potty break schedules, treat schedules, and playtime schedules! Pets are sensitive to changes in their environment, so the goal is to match a pet’s routine as similarly as I can! I live in a condo on the ground floor, which means I have a backyard and can easily bring dogs outside for potty breaks or walks. The condo has three bedrooms so if I’m watching multiple pets, that gives them the opportunity for alone time if needed! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and your pet will not go without attention or affection while they are with me!
