“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“Amber and her family are absolutely amazing with our needy little one! She is very flexible with dropoff/pickup and quickly responds to messages. I also love that she sends frequent updates and pictures :) highly recommend her!!”
“Claudia watched Junior while I was on a vacation overseas. He got along so well with her and her fur baby that I had no concerns while I was away. She sent tons of pics letting me know he was having a good time. Lastly, I had some issues that affected my pick up time & she was very understanding of the situation. Highly recommend & I would book future stays with Claudia.”
“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 9 years old when I got my first cat named Midnight. I have had Australian Shepherds, dachshunds, Bengal cats, a Pomeranian (who will be 14 this year). You name it I have probably cared for it! I just absolutely love animals and always tell people I prefer them over humans lol I have been working from home for 6 years and am able to easily manage watching over fur babies while I work. I get an hour for lunch as well which gives me plenty of time during my work schedule to go for walks if the weather permits. I have a nice fenced in backyard, a safe neighborhood and no kids. My dog is definitely a spoiled princess and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would love to spoil your baby as well!
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Kyri W took excellent care of our puppies. Even on short notice she accepted our puppies into her home gave us daily updates videos and pictures. That made us feel like they were in great hands. Her interactions with our puppies let me know that they trust her too.”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Ezgi kept us updated and provided photos and videos during Abbi's stay.She responded to our texts very promptly. Although Abbi was very hesitant to leave us, she seemed to have settled in and enjoyed her time there. She seemed happy when we picked her up.”
“Amber and her husband were phenomenal! I have never had a river that I felt more comfortable leaving my dog with. It was immediately apparent after initial talks how kind, and responsible they are. They took my dog for many long walks and sent me a couple updates every day.”

“Catherine and Adam are incredible! Our pup got sick while we were away and they went way above and beyond and made us feel so comfortable. Can't recommend them enough!”
“Anna was AMAZING! So thankful we were able to leave our dog with her. He always gets sick to stomach after/when we are gone. He had no problems!! With this I am certain she kept him calm and stress free! It was such a joy to have someone who understood his behavior and used effective ways to help him stay calm!”
“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
“OMG, I cannot say enough positive things about Karen. We've only had her watch our dogs twice, but I'm already looking to have Karen watch my fur babies again. She instantly makes me feel at ease when it comes to leaving my pups in her hands. She sends tons of pictures and keeps me updated on what they are up to. Most recently, she made an official dog play area for them. Seriously, it's nicer than the play areas at Petsmart. I know my pups had a great time spending time with Karen and the other dogs.”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”

“Joanna was amazing with our last minute booking. She spent time getting to know our cat, which was so great! She is very professional and will ensure that your animal is well taken care of. Thank you Joanna!”
About: I've taken care of many got my friends cats while they've been away. I also have 2 cats of my own that I love dearly. I truly enjoy spending time with cats and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experienced caring for many different personalities- from playful and social to shy. I always adjust my approach to sit each cats needs. I treat every cat like it’s my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
“WOW! If you’re looking for the best of the best, look no further! Ms. Lashonna is GREAT! EXTRAORDINARY! EXCEPTIONAL! OUTSTANDING! Too much? I think not! She is literally that good!!!! I was out of town for 6 days and the thought of leaving my cats alone caused my anxiety to sky rocket! Mind you, it’s almost always high, but this time I’m talking like 100/10! Once I got the first update on how my cats were doing, my anxiety drastically dropped and I was able to enjoy my vacation. Ms. Lashonna sent pictures every day, with the date & time, of not only my cats but the litter boxes, food bowls, and water bowls. My family and I looked forward to her check-in reports every day! AND GET THIS! She goes to infinity and beyond like Buzz Lightyear! My oldest cat was quite upset I was gone and left some presents... Ms. Lashonna cleaned them up and even vacuumed! I mean, people, WHY EVEN LOOK FOR ANOTHER PERSON?! (Unless she’s booked up...). Also, she’s a cat whisperer or something. My oldest cat does not like strangers but she was able to get him out of his shell! I will be recommending Ms. Lashonna to everyone I know who has an animal!! I can’t thank you enough, Ms. Lashonna but thank you!”
About: I have experience in walking dogs, feeding, bathing and playing with dogs.

“I love Isabel! She is so attentive, caring and sweet to my kitties! Always flexible and willing to work around holidays - it’s so hard to find a good and trustworthy sitter, I am so grateful I have one. If you have any hesitation booking with her, I am here to tell you everything is ok, book with her immediately! She even kept me updated on packages delivered while I was gone. If you are looking for pet sitting or even drop ins, Isabel is the sitter for you, tbh. 10/10 would recommend and book again with her, (and will!)”
“Taylor took great care of my two cats. She was a great communicator while I was away, when one of my cats threw up, and gave my cat his daily gabapentin while I was away on a trip. Very communicative and trustworthy.”
“Anna took great care of my cat who doesn’t do well being left alone. Katy was calm and happy when I returned. Anna kept in touch and sent pictures. My house was clean when I returned. Anna’s awesome and I highly recommend her if you looking for a cat sitter.”
About: I've fostered several different kittens/ cats over the years and helped find them their forever homes. I have two sweet boys of my own and I foster outdoor cats around the neighborhood getting them neutered when I can and finding them places to adopt them out so they are off the street
“Thank you very much Carrie!! You did an amazing job! You are very attentive and thorough! Lexi and Leo were well cared for. I definitely will be booking you again for our trips next year!!”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a passion of mine. My family has five cats, and over the years I’ve gained experience with everything from welcoming strays to adopting from shelters. I know how important it is to make sure these sweet companions get the love and attention they deserve. At home, I share life with my two cats, Boo and Spooky, who keep me entertained and remind me daily how special our furry friends are. Whether your cat loves playtime, snuggles, or simply quiet company, I’m flexible and attentive to their unique personalities. I look forward to meeting your cats and giving them attentive, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after, just as they do with you, their owner.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
“I asked to drop in and let my 90lb Lab out during lunch times. She sent pics and updated me on how he was doing. She did a great job and I know gave my doggie some extra loving while we were gone. Absolutely will recommend to anyone and will request her again!”
About: I've been relied on to walk, care for, and love not only my pets, but also friends and families. I am here to make peoples lives easier & provide quality care however that looks for your home and pet(s)🤍 I work consistently Tuesday-Thursday evenings. Got a weekend trip? I'm likely to be available and would love to help take this responsibility off your chest! I understand that all dogs are different and may require different care! My dogs are fed three times a day, taken out 3-7 times a day depending on how often people are home. They are allowed on furniture & we have an unfenced yard with rope leashes and kennels if needed for boarding! I prioritize customized care for any animals I look after, anything to make them comfortable!

About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
“Ezgi is awesome!! This was my pups first time away from home and after just one conversation with her I felt so comfortable leaving my two pups for 2 days. She kept me updated with pictures and took care of them like they were her own. Just from talking to her I could tell that she loves animals so much and is just as particular as I am in making sure the dogs feel comfortable and at home. It's hard to find someone to trust to take care of your babies and I will definitely be using her again and again for boarding or day care. She even has this awesome talent in creating custom collar tags and gave me the cutest dog tags with my pups names on them!! So glad I found Ezgi on this app!!”
“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
About: I have been a lover of pets my whole life. Grew up with a few family dogs, pet rabbit, and birds. Now I have my own puppy and know how important it is to find someone you trust to take care of your precious pets! I work from home, so my schedule can be flexible depending on the day. I can do set weekly scheduled walks or in home boarding for a weekend away. I live in a townhouse in a very walkable neighborhood. It is dog friendly and I love taking my own pup for walks. I have a nice big living room and bedroom with a set of stairs for them to run around. My dog gets along great with any dog- big or small. We frequent the dog park 2-4 times a week.
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
“Arlissa is THE best! My girl is a barker and she handles her wonderfully. Arlissa sends little videos throughout the stay so I can see how Valkyrie is getting along! So far Arlissa is the only Rover sitter I’ve used.I’m sure there are others that are good, but Arlissa is AWESOME!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. Growing up we always had pets in the house. My family has a genuine love for pets. They are so precious and deserve our love and care. Presently I have a dog and cat that I love so much. They brighten my day. Sadie and Goldie. I give them the best possible care. I dog walk and sit for a lot of my family and friends I am retired so my schedule is pretty open to Petcare. I’m available for dog walking, dog sitting, drop in care, feeding, giving meds, cleaning litter boxes etc I will care for your pets in your home as to whatever you need for them. Feeding, grooming, playing, scooping litter boxes, walking them etc. Any request you need
“We are beyond grateful that Katherine took in our pugs for a couple hours! It was last minute. As soon my pugs were inside they felt comfortable walking around by themselves. We immediately felt relieved and trusted Katherine and her husband. They were wonderful. They updated us and our pugs loved them! Their house was dog friendly too! We appreciate everything they did for us💙 100% recommend💙💙”
“Tara and her family provided a wonderful, safe, and caring daycare environment for my two small dogs. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful. I scheduled her right away to board my two dogs for an upcoming weekend trip.”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
About: Hi! I have had pets throughout my life. I am a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that pets are family, and I will provide a safe and loving environment for them while you’re away. I am attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. As an online graduate student I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible which allows me to plan my day around pet care needs. Regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My apartment complex also has a dog park, which I can use for supervised play and exercise when appropriate.
About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.
About: I've been relied on to walk, care for, and love not only my pets, but also friends and families.

“Biscuit had a great first ever day of dog daycare with Tim and Kasia! We got a couple of short videos of playtime and reassurance that she was doing well. Tim and Kasia also were very generous with their time when we visited beforehand and answered all of our questions. They have been very trustworthy and we will be back!”
About: My wife and I have been taking care of our dog and foster dogs for the past 6 years. We've taken care of dogs ranging in size of French bulldogs to Siberian huskies. We have experience with high maintenance dogs and giving medications as well. My wife and I currently work from home and have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. During the week boarding availability is best in the evening after 5 but accommodations can be made if needed. Weekends are 100% free and open. I have a larger fenced in yard and great neighborhood for plenty of walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. We have plenty of different dog toys and beds throughout the house too.
“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”

“Haley has been awesome! She makes sure my pup goes on nice long walks and is given her snack and well taken care of. My pup loves the extra belly rubs and attention too! I’ve already booked Haley for next week!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.

About: I have experience in walking dogs, feeding, bathing and playing with dogs. I also love spending time with dogs And love seeing them happy. :) Im currently working full time at a dog kennel but that can change I can also work weekends and or holidays if needed and I’m also very trustworthy with dogs and cats I can easily crate your dog if needed and give your dog extra attention and love whenever needed and I will also treat your pet like it’s my own
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once while ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, helping pets stay healthy and comfortable in their normal routines. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available most days of the week for long periods of time to fit into your schedule and care for your pets well! I can do some sitting and care on weekends! I have a nice space for the dogs to play and have fun! I have a nice yard at my house for them to run around! I can easily crate your dog, if needed! I will do what is best for your pet and care for them as if they were my own!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dachshunds and am also the designated sitter for three cats who belong to my brothers, so I have a love for both! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and love surrounding myself with them. I’ve had lots of experience sitting for pets, ranging from German shepherds to kittens. I have lots of experience working with puppies and senior dogs. I am currently at home full time for the rest of the summer before I start my first year at law school this fall! I wanted to have a relaxing and fun next couple of months before starting possibly the hardest journey of my life, and I thought no better way to do that then spend time with animals. I’m always out walking, especially during the summer and would love to have a cute furry friend to accompany me! Since I am home full time, I am very flexible and have the ability to provide lots of love and care toward your pets. I’ve just recently finished up my internship, so I am available most weekdays. Mornings and early afternoons work best for me, but I am flexible! I always make sure my pets feel loved and cared for. My parents travel a lot and rely on me to be with the dogs 24/7 which I gladly do. I make sure to take them on walks (long enough that their little legs can handle). I’ve realized that a lot more dogs than expected have separation anxiety, so I always try to be as present as possible for them! The same applies for cats. I understand cats can vary when it comes to personality and temperament, and that has helped me understand the best approaches for them and how to interact in a way that is respectful to them.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have been training and showing my Aussies since I was little. I wash and groom my own dogs. I am currently training and showing my dogs in agility, rally, obedience, scentwork, and conformation. We compete in AKC (American Kennel Club), ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America), and UKC (United Kennel Club). Both have titles in rally obedience, obedience, barn hunt, and trick. My services could include: walks, baths (depending on breed), and basic obedience and trick training. I’m a SAHM with a two year old boy who is dog savvy and would come with me on visits and walks. He either walks on his own or is in a stroller. I have a fenced in yard and all of my dogs are crate trained (Snap doesn’t crate anymore though). I can help with crate training.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. Growing up we always had pets in the house. My family has a genuine love for pets. They are so precious and deserve our love and care. Presently I have a dog and cat that I love so much. They brighten my day. Sadie and Goldie. I give them the best possible care. I dog walk and sit for a lot of my family and friends I am retired so my schedule is pretty open to Petcare. I’m available for dog walking, dog sitting, drop in care, feeding, giving meds, cleaning litter boxes etc I will care for your pets in your home as to whatever you need for them. Feeding, grooming, playing, scooping litter boxes, walking them etc. Any request you need
About: I'm a lifelong pet lover with immense patience and a willingness to meet your pets where they are. As the proud pet parent of a 14-year-old cat and a 4-month-old kitten, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your loved ones in another person's care. I treat every animal with the patience and tenderness I show my own. My pet care experience also includes fostering and volunteering for our local humane society. I have cared for animals of various ages (including bottle babies), demeanors, upbringings, and health conditions, and learned to detect and mitigate signs of distress. My experience also includes administering oral and in-ear medication, checking glucose levels, and injecting medication, specifically insulin, into diabetic animals. I would love the opportunity to take care of and get to know your pets. As we bond, my camera roll will quickly fill up with photos and videos, so you can expect many updates from me! **Safety** I am very cognizant about the toys, objects, and food items around the house, including my own belongings. Once you learn more about a pet's personality, you also learn which ones you have to keep a close eye on. I would never feed a pet anything that isn't provided by the owner, unless explicitly requested. You can never be too careful when it comes to safety. Your pet's health is my biggest priority, and I would never want to put their safety at risk. **My Schedule** My grad school schedule gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. Most weekdays, I’ll only be gone 2-3 hours in the middle of the day, which gives me more than enough time to tend to your fur babies! For house sitting services, I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pet's normal routine. I may leave throughout the day for class, errands, dinner with friends, etc., but I always ensure your pet receives the care, attention, potty breaks, meals, exercise, and all the snuggles they need. If your pet requires a more constant-care schedule, please discuss those needs before booking. Before booking, I always start with a phone call and an in-person meet & greet to ensure I'm the best fit for your pets, understand their routines, get a layout of necessary care items in the home, and allow your loved ones to become familiar with me. During the stay, I adhere to their daily routines as much as possible to mitigate stress. I also treat your home with the utmost respect by ensuring doorways and gates are secured, setting security systems when entering and leaving the home (if applicable), and keeping all personal items, cords, food, and small items out of reach. I also ensure your home is left clean and tidy before you return home!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm so excited to meet you and your fur babies! I have over 20+ yrs of experience with many different breeds and sizes. I grew up with all kinds of different pets (mostly dogs), but I'm most comfortable with dogs and cats. Dogs and cats are my heart and passion! So much so, that I have a few fur babies of my own❤️I am happy to walk your dog anytime and/or can check on your dog whenever you need-I do work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I currently work from home and looking to make some additional income on the side. So I have decided to focus on something that I love-which is DOGS🌻My schedule is flexible. I do respond quickly to messages and requests. Also, if you are in need for a overnight pet sitter, I am your gal! I would taylor our time to match your priorities and your furbabies individual needs, based on breed, age, health and environmental surroundings. I love to go to parks, go hiking on trails. Whatever your furbaby would like to do, I can do it 😊I’m very experienced in animal care and would love the opportunity to grow and bond with your pet.
About: I have always had pets my whole life, cats and dogs especially, I know they have odd habits and require certain things to make them as comfortable and cared for. I also volunteer at 4 Paws which is a volunteering place to play and take care of dogs that are being prepared to help kids with disabilities. My dog that passed away in March only had one eye so I also know how to take care of animals that have a little bit more trouble. I currently have a part-time job, so this will allow me to spend plenty of time with your pup! I also only work from 3-5 hours per day and do not work everyday, making it perfect to help out and take care of you dog! I just got a 6 month old puppy, I am leash, crate, and manner training her. I am comfortable following instructions from the pets owner on how they want me to care for their dog.
About: I have had animals my entire life, I love them all; big and small. I treat them all as my own. I can be found on the floor playing with a dog almost anywhere I go. Your best friend is in good hands with me as I am home full time and would like to do what I love and that is working with animals. I find working with animals to be fulfilling and makes me happy to keep them company while their people are at work or away and unable to do so. Working with animals in a non-veterinary setting is my dream job and I hope to make some new friends in the process. I will send pictures, updates, and make sure your buddy is happy and loved while you are away. I am with them 24/7 for the most part and this is what I do, so my rates reflect my experience and dedication to being the best pet sitter for you and your furry friends. You can count on me to care for furry friends in a gentle and thorough manner as if they were my own. I am home full time, your fur babies will have constant care while they are with me. I love being home and cuddling up with my fur buddies. I have 2 dogs and a cat. Safety is my number one priority. I’m never away for very long. I never open an entry door without making sure that my dogs are gated or behind another interior door away from a point of escape. I am very familiar with even the sneakiest of escape artist’s, so I will ask to see all points of entry/exit of your home at our meet and greet. Your fur babies’ safety is in good hands with me and my ultimate priority. (I plan around physician appointments and other drop ins)
“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”

“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 9 years old when I got my first cat named Midnight. I have had Australian Shepherds, dachshunds, Bengal cats, a Pomeranian (who will be 14 this year). You name it I have probably cared for it! I just absolutely love animals and always tell people I prefer them over humans lol I have been working from home for 6 years and am able to easily manage watching over fur babies while I work. I get an hour for lunch as well which gives me plenty of time during my work schedule to go for walks if the weather permits. I have a nice fenced in backyard, a safe neighborhood and no kids. My dog is definitely a spoiled princess and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would love to spoil your baby as well!
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Kyri W took excellent care of our puppies. Even on short notice she accepted our puppies into her home gave us daily updates videos and pictures. That made us feel like they were in great hands. Her interactions with our puppies let me know that they trust her too.”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Ezgi kept us updated and provided photos and videos during Abbi's stay.She responded to our texts very promptly. Although Abbi was very hesitant to leave us, she seemed to have settled in and enjoyed her time there. She seemed happy when we picked her up.”
“Amber and her husband were phenomenal! I have never had a river that I felt more comfortable leaving my dog with. It was immediately apparent after initial talks how kind, and responsible they are. They took my dog for many long walks and sent me a couple updates every day.”

“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
“OMG, I cannot say enough positive things about Karen. We've only had her watch our dogs twice, but I'm already looking to have Karen watch my fur babies again. She instantly makes me feel at ease when it comes to leaving my pups in her hands. She sends tons of pictures and keeps me updated on what they are up to. Most recently, she made an official dog play area for them. Seriously, it's nicer than the play areas at Petsmart. I know my pups had a great time spending time with Karen and the other dogs.”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Ryan is great! He has watched Niko, our GS mix a few times now. This last time we were gone for over a week, when we picked up Niko he was freshly bathed and tuckered out from his 3mile walk. We hope to use Ryan again!!!”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!”
“Nate and Whitney were one of the greatest first experiences to have using the rover app they took such good care of us and constantly gave us updates as to anything that was going on. They will definitely be my first choice the next time I use the service 10 out of 10.”
