Personalized care for your dog or cat - Independence

“Abigail was so great to work with, she went above and beyond for our dogs, they were able to play and exercise and she sent us a ton of great pictures while we were away! We will absolutely have our girls stay with her again!”

“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Brianna was wonderful! Would highly recommend! Our little dog Lily loved her! Brianna sent pictures and texts of what Lily was doing throughout the day. She was very friendly and very easy to work with! Thank you Brianna for taking such good care of our Lily!”

About: I love dogs, I've had two growing up. Unfortunately they are no longer with my family and I but my love for animals of course continuously grows🤎.I'm capable of taking them out (whether it be to play, enjoy the weather or have a potty break), feeding them and just enjoying their company :)! I’m frequently available!—at my house from 8 a.m- whatever time you need me on weekdays and on weekends I can take them in from 8 a.m- whatever time you need me to watch them for ! Any dogs are welcome at my house but I only will take them from one family at a time :)🤎! I’m currently unemployed, with my 2 siblings going back to school it makes it a lot easier for me to take on a “side job” such like this :)! A little about myself… I’ve grown up taking care of my family dogs, I enjoy going outside very often, I love caring for the others around me, and I have a lot of free time :)! My yard may not be fenced in but we do have a huge backyard and a lot of floor space in our downstairs of our house. We are a pet friendly household. Growing up, my family has had 2 dogs. Both small but the company they had given us was unmatchable 🥲.

“Sofia was AMAZING!! My boys had a blast and she always kept us updated with pictures. We will 100% be using her again in the future for our boarding needs!”

Matt T.

“Emily was amazing! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout our whole trip. I was so nervous to leave my lil guy behind but will definitely be using Emily again in the future!”

“Kristen was wonderful! It was the first time I’ve had to leave my fur kids with someone other than family, and she put all my worries at ease. I was desperate when my original sitter fell through, so I figured I’d give Rover a chance, and am so glad I did and found Kristen. She sent me pics throughout the length of the stay, and I could see how happy my girls were! She took them to the park daily, and at the end of the day, they were able to sleep in bed, not in a crate, which was very important to me. Drop off and pick up was seamless, Kristen was very accommodating, and had the blanket and bed freshly laundered upon my arrival! I knew my girls were comfortable, and treated well when I picked them up because after they were excited to see me, they both went over to her and shared their excitement with her. I will definitely be using Kristen again!”

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.

“Tawny, Thank you for your excellent visit with Jake. Enjoyed the pictures you shared as well. We will definitely be using your services again.”

“Taylor won over the acceptance of my shy babies. That was great so she could see how their health was. Did a good job and gave me peace of mind. Thank you again.”

About: I am a huge animal lover with professional experience as a dog walker/sitter. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. Ideally, I would like to find a few dogs that would like to be walked throughout the week or checked on. I have a 10 + years experience dog sitting short/long term. I'm able to provide great references for the pets I've cared for in the past! I am energetic, fun, and easy to get along with. I like to make the most out of our time together! I like to be outdoors as much as possible. If your dog is comfortable, I would love to take your dog to events, the dog park, and short hikes. Your dog will love the experience I will provide! Dogs usually immediately like me and feel comfortable around me. Dogs of all ages and sizes welcome! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your fue babies! I am currently working part-time. I have plenty of time, as well as a flexible schedule, to attend to your pet with my undivided attention. I pride myself on treating clients pets the same as my own, with lots of love and affection! I am respectful of my clients homes, as well as their desired schedules.

About: Growing up I always had a family dog. More recently, I have taken care of many friends and family member's dogs over the years. Now I wanted to take that further and help out more people when they need their fur babies taken care of. I am a teacher so availability changes based on the season, but if I am able to help, I will! I am a teacher, so my availability does change based on the season. I have pretty flexible available hours during weekends, summers and school breaks. During the school year, I will be available on weekdays starting at 3:00pm. I do have a fenced in back yard which is very helpful for pets. For going to a clients house I do want to make sure that the area is safe. The dog is on a leash before going outside and knowing the kind of dog and the dog's needs.

“We were traveling in from Ohio and needed someone to watch over our 2 year old Bernedoodle 'Bernie' for the day as we celebrated my grand daughters graduation/ birthday. We traveled 45 mins to use Abigail because of her reviews and experience. Abigail was wonderful with communication, answering questions, providing pictures and updates during the entire process. It makes you a little nervous leaving your fur baby with a stranger but Rover helps to make everything easier with their program. We give Abigail an A+ in all areas and will definitely use her again if we are in the area again. Michael, Teresa and Bernie from Ohio”

Teresa C.

“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: 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.

About: I’ve worked in pet shops, I’ve been apart of 4-H and dog show training, I have had my own pets my entire life, and I can care for exotics too! I work in retail with a fluctuating schedule but I’m able to work around that to accommodate your needs. Feel free to drop me a line and we can discuss how I can best be of service. I’m able to provide whatever care you need. One of my cats use to have diabetes so I am use to giving medical care as well as your basic walk, playtime, feeding, etc. my cat loves to play with toys and she gets the zoomies like a mad man as well as cuddles.

About: Growing up I’ve always had a pet, whether it was a dog, cat, bearded dragon, hamster, bunny, horses, chickens, etc. The past experience I have is from ages 6 weeks-18years old. I’m up for any task and have no trouble walking dogs who pull. I use a harness for one of my dogs and he is always comfortable walking with me. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I have three dogs and 2 cats 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 listen to rules very carefully and I’m a very trustworthy person. I also send updates on your furry friend!

About: About Me My family owned an animal kennel rescue for several years, which gave me valuable hands-on experience and taught me how to stay calm and act quickly in emergency situations. That background has given me a deep respect for animals and the ability to respond with care when unexpected things happen. I’ve been in situations where I needed to act fast—whether an animal was injured or in distress—and I want you to know that if anything were to happen to your fur baby, I’m prepared to respond. What I Offer • Attentive, compassionate care for your cat or dog • A commitment to go above and beyond so your pet feels safe, loved, and happy • An understanding of how hard it can be for pets to be away from their family, and the patience to comfort them through it My Promise I want you to enjoy your trip or focus on your work without worrying if your pet is being cared for properly. With me, you can feel confident that your little one will be treated like family and return to you just as happy—if not happier—than when you left. No more wondering—book me today! I can’t wait to meet your pet. Pet care is part of my everyday routine—I make time each morning and evening for walks, play, and cuddles. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so you feel confident your furry friend is safe and happy.
