Highly-rated overnight sitters - Okeana
“I got regular photos from her of my pup and he looked like he was just at home. I knew he had a good time when he hopped out of the backseat and went to her for goodbye pets.”
“The best part about leaving our dogs with Gabe is they are so happy to leap out of the car and run up to him! They are obviously very comfortable there. Thanks again Gabe for a worry free trip. We very much appreciate the work you do for us. You are a blessing!”
“Mike and Annie took great care of my baby. It was her first stay and I was naturally a bit nervous. They were amazing and sent me pictures along the way. They even cooked her chicken when she wouldn't eat. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her.🩷”
“Second time using Misty and she has been a life saver. This is my second time leaving Knox overnight and she has given me the ability to enjoy family gatherings without worrying especially with my anxiety. Will definitely recommend and be using again 💙”
“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”
“Karen was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our puppy with her! Not to mention that our pup came back even better trained! I would definitely recommend Karen!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Nicole and her family was absolutely wonderful. We loved the videos and photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that Bella was well loved and was having a great time while we were away for the week.”
“What an INCREDIBLE dog sitter!!! I 1000% would use her again. She was so kind and kept me up to date the whole time. My pup even got sick while staying with her and she handled it sooo graciously. Your pup is in GREAT hands here!!”
“Brendan was great - perfect fit for Crosley. Very communicative and I knew him and his kids cared for Crosley while we were gone! 100% recommend and will use him in the future”
“Bethany and her family were amazing! We got pictures daily and it looked like our dogs had an amazing time! Bethany exceeded my expectations making sure my girls were happy and having fun! She gave us regular updates and even made sure they were clean for pickup after playing in the doggy pool! We will definitely be using Bethany again!”
“We were nervous about leaving our newest dog, Xena, with a petsitter. She is a rescue and generally afraid of people. To our surprise, April gained her trust immediately and took great care of Xena and her big brother, Bodhi. She also sent us photos and videos of both dogs, allowing us to totally relax and enjoy our vacation. April is a gem and we won't hesitate to use her again.”
“Lisa was great and I’m pretty sure my dog was bummed to come home. He lived his best life while there. He got snuggles, love and even took over their dogs bed. Lisa was diligent on communication and sending me pictures with updates. She welcomed me to visit before I booked. She has a fenced in yard where my dog could go out the doggie door when he needed. She gladly gave him his eye drops. Bowser will be back for sure! Thank you so much.”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“Henry loved every minute staying at their house!!! William and Haley sent us pictures and updates which helped to take the worry away and every picture showed Henry enjoying cuddles and fun! They were very flexible with arrival and departure, super accommodating (really only had to pack food), and the fenced in yard looked like a dream playground for any dog full of energy. I would not only highly recommend them, but we’ve found a dog sitter that we will FOR SURE use again!!!! This family is amazing and they had plenty of love to share with our pup Henry ❤️❤️”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My dogs spent a full week with Rachel and Nicholas and came home happy, healthy, and tired. I consider that a success! I would use them again in the future and I would also recommend them to friends.”
“Michelle kept me in the loop. I was anxious about being a first time rover user and she sent me updates with pictures to relieve my anxiety. Would definitely use her again.”
“Jenna and her family provided our 17m oGolden retriever with best care when we go away for weekends or weeks. Coco loves going to their house! We trust Jenna with Coco’s safety and well-being while we are gone. Recommend her highly!”
“Really appreciate Melissa's flexibility and responsiveness for our last minute booking. She took great care of our pup, with regular pictures/updates, plenty of playtime with other dogs, and plenty of love from the humans in the home as well. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”

“She really takes care of my precious cat. I was away from home for a month and my cat was healthy. She takes care of him according to the plan we talked about and takes lots of pictures! If I had the chance again, I would choose her again! I really believe that she can help me take good care of the cat!”
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
“I brought my cat over there. Mary accepted my cat on just about no notice and kept him safe for 3 days. Mary was also very proactive in sending me photos to my phone. This was a nice gesture to keep my mind at ease that my cat was safe and it was also nice just receiving cute photos of my cat from time to time. Some of the photos included my cat bathing in the sun, resting on her couch, and pretty much just enjoying a little vacation. When I came to pick up my pet, she gave me the run down on his behavior and was also very kind enough to allow me to run around her house, move furniture, and to fetch my cat. If you have a pet, you can rest assure knowing Mary can take care of him while you are away. I cannot thank you enough. Will be seeing her in the event my cat needs another hotel. :)”
“We are repeat-bookers with Kathryn for a reason. She is reliable and responsible, and great with the variety of cat personalities in our home. She can handle complicated instructions to make sure our cats get consistent and safe care. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had experience with nearly every type of animal from a very young age, including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chinchillas, lizards, and chickens! I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (chronic pain) so I don’t have a set job right now. This means I’m incredibly flexible with my time and can most likely show up whenever you need me! I love my alone time! I have no problem spending all day watching over your home and pets if needed! As long as you’re away I can even stay overnight to ensure your pet(s) are okay! (We would have to build trust first.)
“As someone who used to provide Rover services, I was a little anxious about booking services myself. Yet, Anastasia's experience and comfort with a wide variety of animals put me at ease. She was just as warm and accommodating to my forever bunny and the rescued kitty who was dumped and now living in my office. Not only did both animals engage with her right away, Anastasia offered to try to help me find a home for the kitty. She provided thoughtful reports with words and pictures for her 2x/daily visits. Plus--and this is how I know she genuinely cares about animals--she took pictures of kitties she saw outside my apartment building and asked me about them. (They actually belong to my neighbor, but there's no evidence of that.)”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind. Including having a cat growing up and while in college. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in, feed, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I have experience with senior cats, giving medications, and understanding subtle feline body language. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment for each kitty I meet.
“Thank you Kathleen. Appreciate you taking care of our babies and for the great update of your visit and pictures. They were very happy when we came home and they look forward to your next visit! Thank You!!”
“Emma did a great job with my two cats. She sent pictures every day and even informed me of an ant problem that can up mid-visit and did her best to treat it. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine passion and dedication to animals. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's what I want to dedicate my life to. I currently serve as the General Manager of a pet lodge, where I've worked since July 2024. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience at both an animal hospital and another boarding facility. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes and cats of all personalities. I am comfortable administering a wide variety of medications, including pills, tablets, insulin injections, eye medications, ear medications, and more. I take immense pride in providing exceptional care and treating every pet as if they were my own. It would be an honor to care for your furry family members, and I promise they will receive the top-notch, five-star care, attention, and love they deserve. I am currently the General Manager of a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility, where I have the opportunity to work with pets and their families every day. While I truly enjoy what I do, my long-term goal is to build something of my own. I am working toward starting my own pet care business and eventually opening my own boarding and daycare facility. My passion for animals and commitment to providing exceptional care drive me to continue learning, growing, and pursuing that dream. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have four dogs and a cat of my own, so at this time I primarily offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in your home. This allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I am committed to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you're away.
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
“Kayla did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is very caring and even my shy cat came out to greet her! This is our second time using Kayla and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had at least one pet from the day I was born. I’ve also dog sat for my family many times. I helped train my own and others dogs the basic commands. I am a college student, with a very flexible schedule when I am home for breaks. So, I have plenty of time to play with, watch, and care for your pet(s). I am attentive and active when caring for pets. I can easily follow any care instructions and build a bond with the animal. I make sure to pay attention to how they are responding to me / things to avoid any incidents.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Okeana
“You are awesome! Kobe loves it when he’s with you and your family. We’ve been home for about 30 minutes and he’s trying to take a snooze! I’m so glad we found you, you’re amazing! Thank you for caring and loving on my baby while I’m away working!”
“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and when it comes to dogs, I believe they deserve to be as pampered as if they were in their own home! Growing up with four dogs, I cherished the moments we spent playing in the backyard and the joy they showed when it was time for their tasty treats after dinner! Since I work from home, your beloved pet will have companionship throughout the day! I promise to shower them with the same love and special attention that I give my own puppy, ensuring they feel right at home. We have a cozy house with a fenced yard, perfect for letting your furry friend roam and play, and I’m dedicated to taking them on daily walks to explore the neighborhood. Plus, my fiancé is home by 3 PM, so there’s always an extra set of hands to help with playtime and cuddles! Your pet will truly be treated like family here!

“1st time having daycare with Whitley and I couldn’t be happier or more comfortable with my girls enjoying their day. Great photos and videos shared through the day and they both slept all the way home in the car- perfect!”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!

“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Karen was excellent and watched our dog for one day of doggie day care. Easy to work with and clear communication from booking to pickup. She even provided us with suggestions for things to do and see in Cincinnati. Thanks Karen!”
About: I have fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“So great! My puppy Steve loves going to Kimberly's house he has lots of playtime with the other dogs that are there, Kimberly keeps in contact with me sending pictures of my pup playing, she takes them on walks! I couldn't be more happy with the doggie daycare, Steve is much more happy and stimulated and I'm relaxed knowing he's being well taken care of and getting the love and attention he needs”
About: I have had 9 cats of my own. I have cared for kittens from age 2 weeks old, having to bottle feed them to senior cats who needed medication. I'm open with owners about things I find. I once noticed a cat I was caring for had worms and I relayed this to the owner. Another time, I noticed during a nail trim that a cat had a claw growing into its paw pad. The owner was so glad I caught these things and informed them. I have driven pets to the vet for a client. I have walked dogs, and cared for chickens and geckos. I am precise when following directions provided by the pet owner. I LOVE taking pictures of pets and will send them over every day. I have 4 cats of my own, so their care is a daily routine for me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for other pets. I usually go to the clients' home for pet sitting cats or dog walking. Although, I have a fenced-in yard with a privacy fence, which allows me to have dogs over.
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dog(s) whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. I'm a nursing student in my final semester and I'm returning to Rover after six years! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old mini schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely!). Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are the 3 days I have classes and I'm always home after that! Tuesday and Thursday I have a 2-hour class, and Saturday is my long day with a 10 hour clinical so my bookings will be closed for that specific day. The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate for your animal, you can bring that as well for me to use if I must leave for a short time.
About: Hello! I’m a Part-Time working Momma and we love animals! I have grown to enjoy dogs mostly. I’ve had a pet dog for a great amount of my life as well as other animals like rabbits, fish and snakes! Size or age doesn't matter, they are all fun. I love their energy and seeing how they interact with loved ones. I frequently help out family members with their dogs which includes bathing, walking, picking up their food and medicine. Taking trips or “car rides” are also a fav’ we partake in. Dogs are truly a pleasure to have and I would love the opportunity to provide care to your fur baby! I have open availability now and have one kiddo! We are up pretty early for school/sports and events so I am pretty flexible with boarding/scheduling! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run and play. I also have a finished basement for those that are potty trained.

“Brie continues to be a godsend for us. Cora loves walking with her, and Brie's in depth knowledge of dogs and all animals is an extra bonus. Brie was even able to easily trim her nails ... Which all helps so much as I continue to recover from vaccine injury. Thank You, Brie!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me! I work full-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and make plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!
About: I’ve been taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and love on their pets. I also love to volunteer at animal shelters in my free time. I am currently a full time student, so I will have plenty of time before, in between and after classes to feed, walk, play, and love in your animals. I am also available in the evenings and weekends as well. I have a big secluded yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I also live in a safe neighborhood to walk pets in.
About: I graduated from the Veterinary Assisting program at Diamond Oaks in 2018. I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats/dogs/small animals/reptiles, as well as 2 years caring for farm animals. I am able to administer medication to animals of all sizes. I own 3 dogs, a rabbit, a bearded dragon, 4 leopard geckos, an iguana, 7 chickens and a cat! My pets are one of my main priorities and yours will be too. I provide top notch care and have many years of experience caring for pets. Our pets are used to having a human around them daily. They are VERY spoiled. My pets are family and yours will be treated as such too ❤️
About: I’ve had experience with nearly every type of animal from a very young age, including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chinchillas, lizards, and chickens!

I love my alone time! I have no problem spending all day watching over your home and pets if needed! As long as you’re away I can even stay overnight to ensure your pet(s) are okay! (We would have to build trust first.)
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕

About: I’ve had and been surrounded by cats since I was born and I love all animals! Though I’ve never had any dogs of my own, I’ve taken care of many and volunteered at a couple of animal shelters, so I’m ready for any type of pet! I’m currently working part-time but my schedule is very flexible, so just let me know in advance and I’m sure I can help you out! I can take care of your pet at your own house best if I get to know a little bit about you and your pet first! I’m happy to learn!
About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher who loves spending my free time caring for animals. I grew up with pets and currently have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. During the school year, I’m at work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, but I’m available for early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. Weekends are more flexible, though I do work a short 4-hour shift every other Saturday and every Sunday. I treat your home with the utmost respect because I know I’m not just caring for a pet—I’m caring for a member of your family. As a fellow pet parent, I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are. I grew up with animals and currently have a dog of my own, so I’m confident in handling daily routines, providing comfort, and creating a calm, loving environment for your pet while you’re away.
About: I provide dependable, personalized care with the added benefit of pre-veterinary experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I'm a recent college graduate available full-time for the summer! I'd love to hang out with your beloved, four-legged friends during the week and/or weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets feel secure through patience, positive interaction, and plenty of supervision, while always respecting the client’s home and keeping communication open with regular updates and photos.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other pets since I was very young. I love all pets, and I’m very reliable and patient. I go to school Monday through Friday at Xavier University. I am available during most hours of the day, depending on the week. I am very flexible to help fit your needs. I have a lot of free time, and I also have two of my own dogs whom I spend most of my time with. I love walks, and playing with pups!
About: I am a Miami college student looking for ways to earn some extra cash during the summer. I have had animals my whole life and will love your animals like I do my own! I will play, walk, or take to dog parks if wanted! I have my own animals but I know the importance of getting exercise or socializing during the day! I am a part time sub during the school year while taking classes. I am off during the summer and want to have a summer job. I am in school to become a teacher! I love all animals and I have a Pit bull of my own and she is my sweet angel! I am willing to walk your dogs or just be in the home and play. I understand the importance of exercise during the day when you have to work. I will follow any given instructions for any ages or animals.
About: As a dog mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience with senior care, daily medications, anxious pups, and high-energy dogs who need extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or consistent routines, I’ve got you covered. For boarding services, I kindly ask that pets be housebroken/house trained to ensure a clean and comfortable stay for everyone. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I can be up early for walks, playtime, and feedings. Having a very flexible work schedule, I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, snuggles, or check-ins. Whether it’s a weekend stay or midday walk, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I share my home with a sweet, well-socialized dog who loves having furry friends around. I always follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible and provide constant supervision during playtime and feedings. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can relax and feel secure.
About: I've had a house full of pets since I was born. We always had at least 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, and other pets in the house. Chance was my main pet (pitbull) who I personally trained and took care of from the age of 10 until I left for college. I now have a chihuahua named Taako and a fluffy cat named Magnus that I take care of. I've also helped watch cats and dogs of family and friends. I also spend my free time volunteering at Lake Humane Society. I have experience in reading cat temperment (don't want to get bit in a shelter!) and training dogs. I work full time 9-5 during the week from home but I can help during a lunch break, after work any time, or on weekends! I will work to whatever your comfort level is for your pets! My chihuahua is distrustful of strangers so I entirely understand if your animals need some time to warm up to me.
About: I live with a poodle and am experienced in daily pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and birds, and take pride in providing reliable, loving care. I am currently flexible at the moment. This is because I am currently an Independent Contractor Full time. Monday - Sunday works great for me. I am willing to offer service at the pet parents home. I am open to dogs, cats and birds. Any other animal I would be willing to discuss
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also host trivia a few nights a week. That only last a couple hours in the evenings, so I can definitely get feedings/walks/medication in easily without interruption. I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.
About: I spent 24+ hours volunteering at Cache Valley pet Hotel as a kennel technician and receptionist ensuring every client was up to date and comfortable. I am available for daycares Monday through Friday at 9a-5p, as well as overnight from 5p-9a. I can do Saturday and Sunday for drop-in from 12p-5p. I always follow a routine whether it’s the client’s or my own: potty breaks every 3 hours, feeding 2-3 times a day, playtime 1-2 a day for an hour (depending on client preference).
