“Canela loved staying with Jessica, Ted, and their kids! We received many photo updates which we greatly appreciated. It was also great that the family was able to stay with Canela most of the time, as she is used to people being around most of the day. She came home to us happy, healthy, and worn out from all her playing during what we would call a 5 star stay!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
“Emily was amazing with my two dogs! She sent me picture updates while they were there and she even got creative with their food when they didn’t want to eat! I’m so thankful for her and Sammy!”

“Joni is so kind and a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He’s nervous arrived new people, but she is patient and made us all feel comfortable. He was all smiles at his stay there.”
“Kelsey was awesome. She updated me with pictures of my puppy every day. She was very understanding and patient. This was my first experience using rover and I felt safe. 10/10 recommend.”
“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”
“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”
About: I've worked with my older sibling at her various animal care jobs since I was 12. I've had pets of all sorts since 4 and if you need me to do anything I most likely am able to do it. I have some vet assistant experience behind my back too. I'm currently available at any time, I dont have constant transportation so if your farther away i may need time to schedule transportation and such. I have another dog who is the sweetest thing, I can bathe, pill, groom, trim and crate all dogs. Ask me anything and I will do it to the best of my ability.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Michelle is fantastic! She will treat your pet like her own and it was awesome she sent me videos and pictures throughout the stay which I loved! Axell can’t wait to come back, thanks again Michelle!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Beth did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby. I have a large Bouvier and she had such a fun time I know she will want to go back. Beth does a great job communicating and giving updates. She loves animals and it shows. Would highly recommend Beth for your dog boarding needs.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and pet sitting has given me the chance to spend time with so many wonderful pets. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other unique animals, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving plenty of attention, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they stay happy and relaxed. I will also keep you updated with messages and pictures, so you’ll always know how your companion is doing. I work 4 x 10 shifts. This means that I am Available for evenings, overnights, and three mornings every week. I am available 7 days a week for at home pet sitting, walking, and drop ins. Every weekend I am available for doggy day care and boarding. How convenient for us both! When it comes to walking our furry friends, I’m always extra cautious of keeping leashes on them. Of course i make sure they always have water and food available as it is important for their well being. I also make sure to keep anything chewable (that isn’t a doggie toy) away from them.
“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”

“Molly did a wonderful job watching our kitties while we were away! All of our kitties were played with and given a lot of attention. Our birds even got fed outside so the cats had their kitty tv! Our cats were happy when we got home! Our litter boxes were even nice and clean. She even fed our fish in the fish tank! Our doorknob fell off for our front door and her husband came by to fix it! Molly took wonderful care of our pets and I know we will book her again when we travel! Thank you for watching our cats! 😃”
“Jenn provided exceptional care for my two cats while I was away. She was able to administer insulin to my older cat, who typically doesn’t warm up to others, and handled it with patience and skill. Jenn kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in caring and capable hands. I highly recommend her services and will gladly book with her again in the future.”
“Laken was wonderful with our cats. We went away for six days and came back to healthy, happy cats. While they were happy to see us, they certainly weren't traumatized that we'd been gone. Laken also did some extra cat-related tidying up that we didn't expect. It was a great experience!”
“Shay was absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything she did for my little puppy! She was excellent with communication and letting me know any updates as I was having a hard time leaving my girl for a work trip!”
“Stepahnie was reliable! She gave us daily updates and sent us pictures of our pets so we could see they were okay. We could tell our cats liked her because they were calm and didn’t run and hide. One cat in particular will always hides from strangers, but she didn’t hide and actually let Stephanie pet her. We would definitely recommend Stephanie and hope we can use her again in the future. Terry and Jeanie Simcox”
“Cici provided food and water replenishing for our feline friend. Thank you, Cici! Cici was courteous and respectful in our home - focusing on cat care- although the cat didn’t show his face!”

They are true animal lovers and my cats totally enjoy their visits. They are kind, sweet and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me. I give they 25 stars.

“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”

About: I have experience (20 years) with my own pets. And have dog-sat seniors with medical issues/medication administering needs and police dogs as well.

About: I am a very loving, friendly, and warm male figure with a tender heart for all animals. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my family's dog, Pocky - an energetic border collie / aussie shepherd mix. I am a full-time musician, meaning I make my own schedule. I am extremely flexible and available during the day and evening to look after your animal. I am also available some weekends. I currently don't have any animals at my house, so your pet would get all of my attention and care if they stay with me! I have a small fenced in yard, and I live very close to the river trail for extended walks and playtime.
“Would highly recommend! When I realized a big chain daycare place wasn't the right fit for my dog, I turned to Rover to try and find a solution. Raleigh and his dog have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Rascal. He's knowledgeable about dog behavior and keeps play appropriate and fun for the dogs. From the meet and greet to the initial visit, he's been kind and listened to my concerns and works with me and my hectic schedule. This has been a great experience and I am hopeful that more people are willing to work with reactive dogs!”
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.
“I can’t adequately express how wonderful Joni and her family are. They have a deep love and respect for their fur babies and treat everyone else’s as their own. I trust them with my baby without reservation.”

“It is the first time we have used this service, and we have had the best experience with Tom and Christine, always in contact with us, they made us feel that Cooper was safe with them all the time. Cooper had a lot of fun to the point that the only thing he wanted when he returned was to drink plenty of water and rest. We are very grateful and hope to use his service again and for sure with Tom y Christina. Highly recommended!!!”

About: I recently relocated to wheeling from Montana ! I am looking for ways to get out in the community besides my normal job! I have two dogs of my own and love to take them for walks and adventures. Mornings and evenings work best for me. However, my work schedule is pretty flexible at the moment so afternoons are doable as well. Weekends are totally open! I care for others pets the same way I would care for my own. I make sure to give them lots of attention and love while making sure all their basic needs are taken care of.

About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
“Ciera is so great! This is my second time booking with her. First was for boarding second for a walk. Both times I’ve been more than happy. Almost don’t want to leave a good review so no one else knows how great she is 🙈. But she cares for your pup. My baby is always happy and tired and ready for a nap. She’s great.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. Later in life, I became a cat mom. I currently have a Rottweiler and a torbie cat. These two are my world. I have delightfully cared for my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats… and a flying squirrel when needed. I love all animals and hope I can ease your mind caring for your babies while you are away from home. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. I promise to care for your babies as if they are my own. In my care, they will receive lots of love and maybe a little too much attention while following any guidelines you provide. We will spend time outdoors (weather permitting), walk, run, play and fetch to keep your loved ones stimulated mentally and physically. I am able to give medications, refresh food and water, clean litter boxes and other specifics as well. I love meeting dogs and cats of all personalities and can cater to animals who aren’t social. I hope you consider me to help care for your fur babies. I already can’t wait to hang out with them! Available every other Monday after 4:00 into the evening and all day Friday unless otherwise marked on my calendar. Please reach out if you are unsure about availability 🐶🐈 I have senior dog experience, can administer oral medications and can provide daily exercise. Please inform me of your dog or cat’s temperament so I can be sure to care for them appropriately. Please also provide emergency contact as well as vet information in case of an emergency.
About: I’ve always been a dog person but I love all animals. We’ve always had a dog growing up along with some other pets (ex. Rabbits, hamsters, fish) anytime family or friends needed pet sitting I’ve been there. My main availability is Monday through Thursday but let me know the dates that you need the help and I can see what I can do! The two puppers in my house get to run and roam in the fenced yard but we do take them on walks from time to time.
About: I am a very loving, friendly, and warm male figure with a tender heart for all animals. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my family's dog, Pocky - an energetic border collie / aussie shepherd mix. I am a full-time musician, meaning I make my own schedule. I am extremely flexible and available during the day and evening to look after your animal. I am also available some weekends. I currently don't have any animals at my house, so your pet would get all of my attention and care if they stay with me! I have a small fenced in yard, and I live very close to the river trail for extended walks and playtime.
About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy
About: I have taken care of animals for years. I am able to do puppy training. During drop in visits, I play with cats, change litter boxes, feed and water animals, and walk dogs. I am trained to handle reactive and aggressive dogs. I have not found an animal that I do not love. I work in the veterinary industry so pet care is an every day thing. My wife and I both work on this together so we are able to handle most schedules. We can always take care of animals before and/or after work. In the Client’s home we take dogs for a walk or play time outside, feed and water, play time inside and lots of love. For animals who do not go outside we spend the time interacting with them in their preferred way.
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.
About: I have had pets all of my life. I love animals. I currently have one dog and two cats but can show your furbaby all of the love and care that you would when you're away. I've had to have sitters for my pets when I've been out of town, and finding good reliable care is challenging and expensive. I can provide updates throughout your vacation in order to keep your mind at ease. I am available for drop-in dog sitting in your home as well as overnight boarding in mine. A meet and greet is required to make sure the dogs get along. Please provide all detailed information about your pet prior to making arrangements such as medications, likes and dislikes and personality to make their stay much more enjoyable. I have experience with disabled/blind animals as well, thanks! I also love cats and am available to check in on your beloved feline! I work from home so I am in my home 95% of the time to give your pet love and attention and take them for walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I don’t let them out without a leash and I don’t leave them in the yard alone, ever.
About: I grew up in a pet-friendly home, and have had every kind of pet you can think of. Dogs, cats, horses, ponies, goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and more - I love getting to see how different pets show their love and personalities off. With two cats and a dog of my own, caring for pets is an integral part of my life. I’m looking forward to meeting your little one(s)! I’m a school employee with summers off, so I have a very open and flexible schedule at the moment! I’m happy to drop in any time, including early mornings or late nights. Due to concerns for safety, I will only take daytime walks with your pet. I have always been naturally drawn to animals, and happy to take the time to earn their trust and love. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to put your mind at ease by providing quality care for your pet while you’re busy or away.
About: I have four of my own pups at home, they rage from an Australian Shepard, great-dane boxer mix, and a pitt bull black lab mix, to a pug! I also own livestock and small farm animals so i’m great in any situation! I have recently graduated so I am available early mornings also! I work part time so I am available almost daily! I’m able to come last minute so there’s no stress about wether or not your pup will be safe and cared for! If you’re trying out a new routine or sticking to the one you know works for your pup(s) I will follow any schedule from morning till night! I know how important it is for me to have things going to plan in order to be stress free and I want you to have the stress free time you deserve while I care for your animals your way!
About: I have grown up with dogs and have had dogs of my own. I always watch my family and friends dogs. I am experienced with all animals. I’m currently not working so I have lots of time to care for your animals! I am available any time during the week or weekends. I am not able to bring your animal to my home but I am willing to travel to you. I also will need to bring my 4 year old son, so your fur baby must be kid friendly. If your fur baby isn’t kid friendly, I can try to make arrangements. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds/ animals.

“Canela loved staying with Jessica, Ted, and their kids! We received many photo updates which we greatly appreciated. It was also great that the family was able to stay with Canela most of the time, as she is used to people being around most of the day. She came home to us happy, healthy, and worn out from all her playing during what we would call a 5 star stay!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
“Emily was amazing with my two dogs! She sent me picture updates while they were there and she even got creative with their food when they didn’t want to eat! I’m so thankful for her and Sammy!”
“Joni is so kind and a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He’s nervous arrived new people, but she is patient and made us all feel comfortable. He was all smiles at his stay there.”
“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”
“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Michelle is fantastic! She will treat your pet like her own and it was awesome she sent me videos and pictures throughout the stay which I loved! Axell can’t wait to come back, thanks again Michelle!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and pet sitting has given me the chance to spend time with so many wonderful pets. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other unique animals, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving plenty of attention, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they stay happy and relaxed. I will also keep you updated with messages and pictures, so you’ll always know how your companion is doing. I work 4 x 10 shifts. This means that I am Available for evenings, overnights, and three mornings every week. I am available 7 days a week for at home pet sitting, walking, and drop ins. Every weekend I am available for doggy day care and boarding. How convenient for us both! When it comes to walking our furry friends, I’m always extra cautious of keeping leashes on them. Of course i make sure they always have water and food available as it is important for their well being. I also make sure to keep anything chewable (that isn’t a doggie toy) away from them.
“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.
About: I have six dogs of my own, I have been an AKC breeder since 2009, and I would love the opportunity to spoil your pets while you are away. I have lots of time, love, and a nice facility for them. I currently work part-time, I am away 2 1/2 hours in the morning and again 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon. I am a bus driver and off for the holidays, weekends and summer. I have very strong 10 x 10 kennels set up outside with a 10 x 30 run. And I have a heated and air-conditioned building that will allow me to house 10 pups at a time. I have cots, puzzle feeders, and lots of toys and space to play.
About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!
