Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dalton
“Abigail was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat. She sent pictures everyday along with updates, and it was clear she showered him with all the attention he wanted! I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my cat and I highly recommend her.”
About: I've been dog sitting for ten years and have had dogs my entire life. I provide daily walks, check-ins, in-home sitting and overnight sitting in my home for your pets. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I can assist with potty training puppies. I can administer medication if needed. I have also handled dogs that pull or jump. I also can do nail trimming and baths. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find their personalities to be very sweet and engaging. I'm home all the time, so I have a ton of spare time for pet sitting and spending time with you dogs. I will be with your dog the whole time I have one fur son to keep your fur babies company! I also live around the corner from a trail that I like to walk daily and can bring your fur babies
About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!
About: 2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed* I have generally open availability. I walk my own dog twice day with some longer walks reserved for training sessions. I am available after 4pm most weekdays and as needed on weekends. To the specifications of the owner. I take great care to not disrupt the life of my client pup too much just because their parents are out of town.
About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors. I am self-employed, so it is very easy for me to schedule around others schedules. I enjoy being home with my fur babies, so I always have availability. I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.
About: Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I'd love to help your pets get all of the excercise, love, and/or attention that they want and need. Whether your pets need a sitter while you are traveling, or someone to visit them while you're at work; whether you've got a puppy who needs to run, or a senior who needs a lap to sit on and have a good book read to them - I can help!! I am an ex-professional in my thirties, who decided close to a decade ago to leave my corporate job to do what I love full time - spend time with animals!! Currently, I am mom to one dog of my own (Sissy, a timid but 3.5 year old female, friendly, husky/pug mix) and 2 ridiculously friendly chickens 🤣🐥💛and I also am "Aunt Hannah" to countless other animals who I love & care for. I specialize in caring for the difficult dogs: The leash pullers, jumpers, rough players, and the super big & strong are all welcome. I've never met a dog I didn't love, but I have a special place in my heart for bully breeds. Please contact me with any questions! I look forward to loving your furbaby! 💗 Pet sitting is my full time job. I do work another part time job, but I am blessed to be able to stay home watching the animals and making sure they are living their best lives almost all of the time. My home has a a fenced yard with a connected 10x18 outbuilding just for the furbabies. There they will find comfy couches to lay on, and TV for their entertainment. Weather permitting, I like to spend as much time outdoors with them as possible.
About: I have had my own pets since I was 18yrs old. Large ones, small one all different personalities. For some reason animals love me as much as I love them. I enjoy forming that bond with them. I will treat your animals as if they are my own. I will respect you home as I expect mine too be treated. I used Rover in my home before I decided I wanted to take care of others animals. I expected no one to touch anything of mine unless it pertained to the animals. I currently work a fairly flexible job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have two of my own dogs so house sitting needs to be flexible I have a fairly large sized yard that your pups can run in. My two fur babies are very friendly and will gladly keep your pups company

“Chloe has sat for me multiple times now, and she's always been a delight! I'm very protective of my baby kitty, and when I have to leave him for a few days, I know she's going to take great care of him!”
About: I've worked with pets of every shape and size and I've owned a dog or cat for the majority of my life. Juno, my last dog, I cared for so much that I brought him from Australia back to America when I moved back home after studying abroad. I've owned virtually every type of pet from hamster to lizard over my life and I know how to react to difficult situations. I've even saved Juno's life on more than one occassion (Australia has poisonous blowfish) so I have a wide range of experience. I work another part time job which I have time to fit my love of pet care in between during most days given my flexible schedule. I will ensure the environment is perfectly secure and safe for the pet with no possible exits for them to escape. I would make sure they're within my sight 100% of the time and be sure to give them as much attention as they want.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I can take care of cats or dogs and will love them like they are my own! Animals are my passion in life and I love to spend my free time taking care of them. I work Monday-Thursday but am available after 5:00PM on those days and any time Fridays and Saturdays. I currently have two cats of my own who I love to spend my time with as well. I am experienced in safely harnessing, walking and crating dogs. I also have owned animals my whole life and am aware of their boundaries and the fact that all animals are different.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.
About: I have lived and cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years. Presently, I am a proud dad/owner of two agility-trained border collies. I am a caring, enthusiastic and animal-loving young professional (resident physician) who enjoys giving dogs what they need most - physical activity and mental stimulation. My home base is Rochester, NY, although I am a resident physician with the University at Buffalo; so, I am either commuting between Rochester and Buffalo or staying at my second residence in Buffalo (when needed). I am open to caring for pets in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, as well as anywhere in between. My schedule changes approximately every two weeks. Not often are there opportunities for me to consistently help during the daytime on weekdays. I could only be available for drop ins or walks during the daytime on weekdays on a per diem basis. I can be most helpful for someone who works night shifts, as I would be able to help with your best friend either in the morning or evening. With affection, attention, drive to understand one another, playfulness, and mutual respect. Having cared for and trained two border collies (both behaviorally and in agility), I understand most dogs’ needs and am open to even more. I am flexible in my approach to interacting with dogs and trust their owners/parents to let me know what they feel is best. I like to play multiple games for mental and physical stimulation but also following up with downtime to ease transitions.
About: Since have always owned cats growing up - and now owning 3 of my own - I have never known life without a cat! As a result, I mostly know cats inside and out! I can confidently handle cats with various behavioral traits and do so with great comfort!

About: I’ve had the pleasure of providing dog care since I was a child due to growing up in a very dog-friendly neighborhood and having my furry friends. I have experience working with dogs of various breeds ranging from small Pomeranians to big German Shepherds providing walks, feeding, bathing, and always a good time. My most recent experience for the past two years entails volunteering in an animal shelter, where I learned how to engage abused and shy animals.

So I am available most weekdays and weekends beginning December 7, 2023, till January 7, 2023. Also, I will be available to do morning, afternoon, and evening works if needed.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dalton
“Abigail is wonder. She has worked with our pup Oakley and within 2 training sessions she’s acting like a different dog. I highly recommend Abigail to anyone that is reluctant on leaving their pup anywhere, she’s the best.”
“I was doing a 10 mile hike at Letchworth which is too long for my puppy to hike. Emma lives very close to the hiking trailhead so dropping off my dog was very convenient. Emma and her pup were wonderful hosts. My dog seemed very happy to be there for doggy daycare. Great value for the price. I will definitely book again.”
About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!
About: Albeit having no years of 'professional' caring, I have been a dog and cat mom all of my life. Since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs and 5-6 cats at a time on our farm, and I raised, trained and took care of all of them myself since my parents were not too big on animals. The sole reason we had so many is because we lived on a farm and I adored them. Every year of my life I have cared for at least one animal or another, ever since I was in grade school. For cats and dogs alike, I myself used to bathe them, feed them, groom them and take them to the vet if they were sick. As of right now, I have no animals to look after, so I would love to put those skills to good use. This being said, I have ample experience with animals, and I adore them. I have babysat animals for my friends several times, always without incident. I understand their signs and needs, have plenty of patience and can be gentle but firm when needed. I treat them as if they were my own children. I am also a trained emergency service medical provider, so I know how to perform first aid and lifesaving measures if need be (not that it will ever be needed, don't worry!). I am flexible with the services I provide: if your pet has any special needs/medications that they need to take/any sicknesses, or anything else, inform me and I will be happy to babysit for them and care for them for as long as you need! Some of the services I can provide include but are not limited to: bathing, walking, training, and cuddling! I will treat your babies with love and kindness while you're away! Rest assured, they will be in good, trained hands. I currently work from home, and would have no problem going on walks or playing games such as fetch to tire out high energy dogs! I already have a daily routine with my own dog, which consists of taking him on regular potty breaks, brushing his teeth, and playing games to tire him out if its too cold to go on walks outside! We have a yard thats not fenced in, but have lines and long leashes to take your fur baby outside! There is one senior dog, one younger dog, and to cats all to give company to your pet! Both dogs are very friendly, and the cats mostly keep to themselves in the room. The dogs will always be in my sight, so that we can hang out, play, and I can tend to their needs! There are plenty of toys to share, plenty of treats to go around (unless stated otherwise) and plenty of friends to play with.
“She came to my house to meet my dog and answered my questions before the doggie day care service I was coordinating. Everyone went smoothly the day of, and Emily sent me pics and videos of my puppy playing with her dogs. He was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed himself. She was always very prompt in hey messaging with me. I would use Emily again in the future.”
About: I am a retired teacher who has had pets my whole life. My own children are grown and I am out of the classroom and thrive on taking care of beloved pets - my own and others. I am a hiker and enjoy having canine company when I walk. I will treat your family members with safe, loving kindness. I am involved with rescue work. Both of my dogs are rescues. My Cocker Spaniel was rescued after spending 6 years as a breeder in a puppy mill. I look at each dog I encounter as an individual with their own unique needs based on their temperament and background. This means that I am flexible when dealing with pups. I love cats but don't have one of my own because one of my dogs is reactive to them. I take care of friends' cats in their own homes. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I have the freedom to arrange my schedule according to the needs of the dogs in my home. I have a fenced in tard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog comfortable. My dogs are never left unattended even in the fenced in yard. I am always out with them when they are out. I am an experienced foster of dogs recently released from puppy mills. These dogs are flight risks so safety is always my first concern with any dog in my care. I use the two leash protocol when walking dogs. I will only board dogs when i do not have a foster dog.

About: Hi! I’m Tawny — a lifelong pet owner and dedicated animal caretaker with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of all sizes. My life truly revolves around animals. At home, I care for my three large dogs, three horses, and two barn cats (who are just as spoiled as the rest!). I also have a boarder horse, Irish, who has been in my daily care for over four years, and I regularly care for pets belonging to family and friends. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether you’re looking for reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home pet care, my goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I offer: • Dog walking for all breeds and sizes • Drop-in visits (days, nights, and weekends) • At-home care for dogs (with up-to-date vaccinations and dog-friendly temperament) • Cat and horse care I do my absolute best to replicate your pet’s normal routine and care exactly as you would. During visits, I provide thoughtful updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. As a self-proclaimed “helicopter dog mom,” I’m very detail-oriented — I check gates, crates, trash lids, counters, and anything that could pose a safety concern before leaving your pet alone. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I would be honored to care for your pets as if they were my own and would love to become your go-to sitter or dog walker. I am offering drop-in visits and dog walking days/nights/weekends during the winter months (Nov-March). I also offer at home care for pups, as long as proper vaccinations are provided, and dog is friendly with others! I will do my absolute best to replicate the owner’s care during my shift. I will also provide photos if requested! I’m a helicopter dog mom/care-taker…so before leaving, I will do a walkthrough of the area to ensure pets will be safe when no one is home. I will check trash can lids, make sure no food or anything that could potentially be harmful is on the counter(s), and I will be sure to check that safety gates and crates are secured.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Dalton
“Abigail did a fantastic job. She knows how to maintain their focus so the play isn't just a big free for all. I enjoyed how she maintained a great leash walk with Buck and also let him play with her dog before and after. I would trust her to take great care of anyone's dog.”
About: I have a dog of my own, and two children. I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own. I'll tend to whatever needs your dog requires, such as the type of play they like, medications, treats, whatever it may be, I promise I can do. I've had a lot of experience with dogs. I have also worked in a boarding/daycare/grooming facility and have worked with up to 30 dogs at a time. I will not do overnights, though but I am willing to do a later shift. I do have animals of my own and a family to come home to. I will walk your dog and play with them when needed, mostly during the day, but like I said I am flexible. I'm a stay at home with the occasional job working at a school as a substitute, but my schedule is super flexible. I'd love to work with you so send me a message! I can easily crate your dogs if needed, as mine are when I'm away. My dog is high energy, so he's always needing attention and play, so I have no issues doing that either. As long as your dog(s) are friendly I'll be able to take care of, play with, and even walk your dog.

About: I have owned animals my entire life from cats, lizards to dogs and horses. I worked at a kennel in my high school years taking care of dogs and assisting the owner in grooming. Going on from that I worked in a dog daycare alongside a fear free trainer whilst training my own dog, Lacey who is now 7, doing agility, obedience and other extensive training. Upon graduating I was given the opportunity to train and work alongside a groomer in her own shop, while I did my time with her we also attended groom expo where I took numerous classes including fear free grooming, control and handling, and creative grooming. Due to back issues I stepped away from the grooming scene and into ridding horses. I wonder my own horse for several years, I took a job opportunity with Letchworth Farms caring for both world class eventing horses as well as our trail horses. My time was ended there after a few years due to me becoming a mother to two beautiful kids and from time to time I have worked alongside a local cat shelter assisting in rescues and fostering and also helping foster and rescue dogs from time to time. I also have experience with caring for senior dogs with special needs. I have a very flexible working schedule to be able to accommodate your needs and your dogs at any time! I also am currently enrolled in Animal behavior and Canine training, a knowledgeable care giver is a great one! I am here for all your pet needs! I have one friendly cat who is vaccinated, fixed and is acclimated with dogs extremely well. I have a 7 year old fixed female who is good with other dogs and would rather spend her days lounging and relaxing.
About: I've had pet grooming and boarding positions for the last 15 years, as well as, intermittent day-care, walking, and in-home sitting positions. It's really just been full of a lot of pet loving! I've also had large dogs, regular sized cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish my whole life, so I know how to handle just about anything. With my years of experience, I've acquired many skills that will allow me to do all that I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and happy with me! I'm currently an Assistant Professor of Biology in Alfred, so my schedule is very open and flexible, especially over the summer. I'm also very professional, hardworking, and reliable. I would love to hang out with your pet for the day! I hope to hear from you very soon! I currently work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am free evenings and weekends, but can still do drop-ins and short walks during the workday. My pets, a cat and two geckos, are spoiled rotten. Cat toys litter my living room floor, so there is no shortage for things to play with. When entering a client's home for a drop-in or to walk the dog, I aim to leave as little evidence of my being there as possible. I follow the directions laid out by the owner and clean up after myself.
About: Growing up I’ve always had a pet, whether it was a dog, cat, reptile, hamster, bunny, etc. The past experience I have is from ages 10 weeks-12 years old. I’m up for any task and have no trouble walking dogs who pull. I use a harness for one of my pups and he is always comfortable walking with me. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I have two dogs of my own but have help with them. Can always adjust schedule as needed. I treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat my pet. I don’t neglect and I listen to rules very carefully. I’m a very trustworthy person and can even send hourly updates on your furry friend!
About: Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing calm companionship. I also have basic dog training experience, including reinforcing simple commands, leash manners, and positive behavior using positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I understand that every pet is different — some need active play, while others need a quiet and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust and help dogs feel confident and comfortable. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to routines and behavior, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I always make time for animals and enjoy spending quality time with them. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive attention, care, and companionship without rushing. I provide a safe, calm, and positive environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, behavior, and comfort. I make sure all interactions are safe, positive, and beneficial. I respect routines, keep pets supervised, and focus on building trust through calm communication and gentle care.
About: I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs to hamsters to creased geckos. My dog cookie is one of the most kind, loving animals, along with my hedgehogs. I’ve been told that my animals are very well taken care of and I pride my self on that. I promise to care for your animals the same way I care for mine. One of my goals in life is to pet as many dogs as I can throughout my life, gotta live your best life you know? Throughout my 9 years of caring for my dog the only health problem she’s ever had was to fatty tumors and I caught them fast so it wasn’t a big deal because we got them remove. And I know how to cut nails and groom so that’s a bonus. My schedule revolves around my dog and others. We train everyday and go on many adventures. Whatever to make my dog happy or anybody else’s. I love it I care for pets as they are my own, very safe and very cautious. Feed them when they need to be feed, I can do medicine if needed, if they’re on a special diet I can do that. If sick around me I will inform you and try my best to make the dog better, I treat them like family

About: Hello everyone I am looking to make pet sitting a full-time gig because I am a lover of animals and it would fulfill my life if I could be around them and also make a living doing so. I have had animals ever since I was young cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and even chickens at my father's home. I find a great deal and caring for animals because they don't communicate in the same way as humans but they have souls and they are very loving and I honestly enjoy being around them more than people.

“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”
About: I work at a doggy daycare! I aspire to learn more about training and grooming! I also have pet store experience and work with small animals reptiles, and birds! i work at a doggy daycare in Henrietta. I have a pretty flexible schedule and an happy to help in mornings, nights, overnights, and on my days off!

About: I have lived and cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years. Presently, I am a proud dad/owner of two agility-trained border collies. I am a caring, enthusiastic and animal-loving young professional (resident physician) who enjoys giving dogs what they need most - physical activity and mental stimulation. My home base is Rochester, NY, although I am a resident physician with the University at Buffalo; so, I am either commuting between Rochester and Buffalo or staying at my second residence in Buffalo (when needed). I am open to caring for pets in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, as well as anywhere in between. My schedule changes approximately every two weeks. Not often are there opportunities for me to consistently help during the daytime on weekdays. I could only be available for drop ins or walks during the daytime on weekdays on a per diem basis. I can be most helpful for someone who works night shifts, as I would be able to help with your best friend either in the morning or evening. With affection, attention, drive to understand one another, playfulness, and mutual respect. Having cared for and trained two border collies (both behaviorally and in agility), I understand most dogs’ needs and am open to even more. I am flexible in my approach to interacting with dogs and trust their owners/parents to let me know what they feel is best. I like to play multiple games for mental and physical stimulation but also following up with downtime to ease transitions.

“Abigail was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat. She sent pictures everyday along with updates, and it was clear she showered him with all the attention he wanted! I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my cat and I highly recommend her.”
About: I've been dog sitting for ten years and have had dogs my entire life. I provide daily walks, check-ins, in-home sitting and overnight sitting in my home for your pets. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I can assist with potty training puppies. I can administer medication if needed. I have also handled dogs that pull or jump. I also can do nail trimming and baths. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find their personalities to be very sweet and engaging. I'm home all the time, so I have a ton of spare time for pet sitting and spending time with you dogs. I will be with your dog the whole time I have one fur son to keep your fur babies company! I also live around the corner from a trail that I like to walk daily and can bring your fur babies
About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!
About: 2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed* I have generally open availability. I walk my own dog twice day with some longer walks reserved for training sessions. I am available after 4pm most weekdays and as needed on weekends. To the specifications of the owner. I take great care to not disrupt the life of my client pup too much just because their parents are out of town.
About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors. I am self-employed, so it is very easy for me to schedule around others schedules. I enjoy being home with my fur babies, so I always have availability. I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.
About: Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I'd love to help your pets get all of the excercise, love, and/or attention that they want and need. Whether your pets need a sitter while you are traveling, or someone to visit them while you're at work; whether you've got a puppy who needs to run, or a senior who needs a lap to sit on and have a good book read to them - I can help!! I am an ex-professional in my thirties, who decided close to a decade ago to leave my corporate job to do what I love full time - spend time with animals!! Currently, I am mom to one dog of my own (Sissy, a timid but 3.5 year old female, friendly, husky/pug mix) and 2 ridiculously friendly chickens 🤣🐥💛and I also am "Aunt Hannah" to countless other animals who I love & care for. I specialize in caring for the difficult dogs: The leash pullers, jumpers, rough players, and the super big & strong are all welcome. I've never met a dog I didn't love, but I have a special place in my heart for bully breeds. Please contact me with any questions! I look forward to loving your furbaby! 💗 Pet sitting is my full time job. I do work another part time job, but I am blessed to be able to stay home watching the animals and making sure they are living their best lives almost all of the time. My home has a a fenced yard with a connected 10x18 outbuilding just for the furbabies. There they will find comfy couches to lay on, and TV for their entertainment. Weather permitting, I like to spend as much time outdoors with them as possible.
About: I have had my own pets since I was 18yrs old. Large ones, small one all different personalities. For some reason animals love me as much as I love them. I enjoy forming that bond with them. I will treat your animals as if they are my own. I will respect you home as I expect mine too be treated. I used Rover in my home before I decided I wanted to take care of others animals. I expected no one to touch anything of mine unless it pertained to the animals. I currently work a fairly flexible job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have two of my own dogs so house sitting needs to be flexible I have a fairly large sized yard that your pups can run in. My two fur babies are very friendly and will gladly keep your pups company
