“I'm so glad we met Shelby through Rover. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our senior dog for the night. She was communicative, sent pics, and several updates throughout our dog's stay. We appreciate the love she gave our girl and highly recommend her!”
“We are so glad that Julie watched our five-month-old pup for us! It is obvious that this is not just a job for Julie but she genuinely loves and adores dogs! 🥰 Julie watched Zoey for 13 days while we went on vacation. Each day she sent a little note and picture of Zoey to us so that we could be assured of her good care and joy in being with Julie and the other dogs! We will hire Julie again to watch our Zoey!”
“Jennifer was absolutely FANTASTIC! If there were 10 stars to give I certainly would. The entire experience was wonderful from the initial contact, to the meet and greet with my two pups, to the drop off not to mention all the pictures and video updates. My two guys had never stayed away from home and I was a bit nervous at first to leave them somewhere, but Jennifer put the little guys right at ease! I would definitely recommend Jennifer! She is amazing!”
“Appreciate the care & attention Connie has given to my geriatric fur baby. She gives medication as prescribed & he receives lots of attention. She’ keeps in contact with updates so I’m assured he’s doing well.”
“Dan and Dave took great care of our fur baby and she was healthy and happy when I picked her up. They provided a super clean and secure environment with care and affection for our pup. Will definitely be calling on them again.”
“Our dog recently completed a 10 day stay and loves it here. Plenty of room to roam in an expansive back yard. Attentive treatment from a caring boarder. Plenty of social time with a few good friends including Jade’s own sweet dogs. What more could your very own “best friend” ask for?”
“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney again! 😊”
“Gemma and her family took great care of Scooter during our out-of-state weekend. He was relaxed and tired when we returned home….. which was a good sign! Gemma even sent us a cute picture of him with her ADORABLE pup too!! Thanks Gemma!”
“Tracy watched our 110 lb Shepherd mix dog for two nights while we were out of town and she was amazing! We had never left him overnight with anyone before and he can be kind of anxious at times, so I was a little worried he would be a disaster to care for. We met with her a couple weeks prior to the boarding and we could easily tell he would be perfectly fine in her care. We got multiple updates and pictures from her during his stay which was very reassuring! We will definitely be using Tracy again!”
“Allison was fantastic with both of our dogs! From the moment they met, I could tell they were in great hands. Allison kept me updated with photos and notes, followed all feeding and routine instructions perfectly, and keeps everything clean and tidy. It made my trip completely stress-free knowing my dogs were well cared for and happy. I would book Allison again in a heartbeat!"”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Our experience with Zuri was wonderful from start to finish. She was able to take our two dogs on short notice for a few days. She was incredibly accommodating to the needs and energy levels of our 8 year old malipoo and 1 year old boston terrier. She was able to provide medication for our maltipoo. Zuri was very flexible with pick up and drop off times which made leaving and returning from our trip a breeze. She kept us up to date with adorable pictures and videos of our dogs enjoying extra love, cuddles, and play time. Both dogs felt right at home cuddled up on the couch. Our boston terrier especially loved her dog Bonnie and her daughter. She and her daughter provided a safe and loving home for our babies while we were away! I would highly recommend Zuri if you ever need a dog sitter during the day or overnight”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
About: I have years of experience caring for small and medium sized dogs and am the owner of two friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle. Because I focus exclusively on dogs under 40 pounds, I am highly familiar with the unique temperaments and safety needs of small and medium breeds. Working from home full time allows me to provide constant, dedicated supervision throughout the day, easily keeping up with your dog's specific feeding and bathroom schedules while keeping their anxiety low. Your dog will also have access to a fully fenced backyard, offering a completely secure space to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime with Minion and Gizmo without any risk of escaping. Whether your dog has high energy or is a calm companion who just wants to nap by my desk while I work, I provide a peaceful, attentive environment tailored to making them feel safe and right at home. Since I work from home full time, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My workday is structured around the dogs, meaning guest pets are never left unattended and receive constant companionship. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to step away from my screen and supervise outdoor playtime in my fully fenced backyard. Your dog will join my own friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, for a consistent schedule of morning feeds, afternoon backyard romps, and plenty of desk side company while I work. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, bathroom, or exercise timelines without any disruption to my work week. Trust and safety are the foundation of how I operate, which is why I provide care exclusively in my own home where I can maintain total oversight. To guarantee a secure environment, I strictly enforce a 40 pound weight limit for all guests. This ensures everyone is evenly matched with my own friendly dogs, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, eliminating the safety risks and anxiety that come with mixing large and small breeds. Because I work from home full time, your dog will never be left unattended and will receive constant supervision. Outdoor time is restricted to a fully fenced backyard where I am always physically present to monitor play and bathroom breaks. I build trust with owners through transparent communication, regular photo updates, and precise adherence to your dog's established feeding and routine instructions, providing a predictable and protective environment where your pet can feel completely safe.

“Elizabeth was very responsive and flexible and helped us in a pinch with a very last minute drop-in request. We are so grateful for her. She did everything we asked and even helped us out by bringing a package inside. We feel lucky to have found her and plan to request her for all of our future drop-in or house-sitting needs!”
“Kelly did an amazing job caring for our wounded chicken, who required special care and handling. She went above and beyond and was as kind with our chicken as you would want her to be with your dogs and cats. We absolutely recommend her!”
“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
“This was our first vacation with Rachel as our kitty wrangler. Took her just one visit before our shyest kitty realized she was a friend 😊 We will definitely rebook with Rachel.”
About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
“This was our first time having Alyssa as our house sitter and it was for quite a long stay. I’ve had some challenging experiences in the past, but Alyssa made me feel very secure in her ability to take care of all the animals. She was communicative, reliable and overall just had great energy about her. We feel really fortunate to have found her and we hope to use her in the future! Thank again Alyssa, we really appreciate you!”
“Whitney stopped by and provided check in visits as we had arranged. She was able to give the snacks my kitty enjoys and build rapport. Sent pictures to reassure me that my kitty was not stressed. Appreciated knowing someone dependable was checking on my little family member!”
“Tamra was great with my kitty who is not very social. I was nervous that Punkin would be afraid and hide while I was away, but she took to Tamra and her home right away. I received a picture text within 5 mins of leaving her all snuggled and settled in! Tamra sent me pictures of Punkin throughout her 4 day, 3 night stay which put me at ease. I would definitely use here again.”
About: I have had pets my whole life, different kinds, and ages!

One is 6 years old who is a high energy husky and a 3 year old tuff chiweenie. 😅I have a wife and kids that will extra love on your fur babies as well if you want your fur baby to meet them!
“My experience with Melody was fantastic she went above and beyond, truly the best pet sitting experience I have had. This was a super last minute booking after my previous sitter cancelled and she responded immediately and was willing to take over and show up instantly. She was super communicative and made me feel very comfortable, even going as far as giving me updates when she was leaving the house for less than 30 minutes. Not only did she send plenty of adorable photos of my cats but she cleaned up as well leaving my house in better shape than I left it. I would recommend Melody in a heartbeat she is the best.”
About: I have owned cats my whole life and I understand what it is like to keep a cat safe and healthy. I currently only have one cat named Dobby but I used to have 4 more. I will care for your cat like my own.
About: I've taken care of cats since I myself was a kid, and I've always been the go-to person for other people when it comes to watching their cats while they're gone. My personal cat, was very grumpy and not a sociable cat when we got her. And over time with training, reinforcement and constant understanding of her body language. She now thrives and is very happy. So she'll bowl and loves being pet. I absolutely love animals and will go the extra mile for any animal.

“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“Shelby did a great job with my sweet old dog. He felt so comfortable, and I could tell that he was excited to see her by the way he was prancing at the front door when we arrived. There was even a special gift in his travel bag when we got home and a thank you card! I will definitely use her services again, he loves her.”
“Tracy took wonderful care of Murphy!! So thankful for her updates and letting me know he settled in well. She made sure he had plenty of play time, and lots of love and attention. Thank you Tracy!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats since before I could walk! I started pet sitting for my neighbors when I was a kid and have spent most of my life helping out my friends and family with their pets. I am a huge animal lover and also very active! I often pet sit for my friends and love to take their dogs on walks and runs. I live in Albany with my cat, Bill, and work from home a lot so I have lots of availability and would love some more dog time in my life! I work from home four days a week (wednesday’s i am in office) so i have a lot of availability to spend time with your dog! I am also an active runner and walker, so I can get your pup outside and get out energy if that’s what they need, or we can cuddle up inside and play or hang out :) I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with lots of grassy areas and walking paths around. I do have a cat, he gets along well with dogs, but your pup would need to be okay with cats! I have a very gentle approach to dogs and respecting their boundaries is so important to me. Depending on what you prefer for your dog, they are free to roam my apartment and be on furniture, unless you prefer them not to be! I have some experience training so if you’re in the middle of building habits, i will adhere to those practices :)

I have 18 years of experience caring for and training my own dogs as well, caring for family pets, and work experience in a vet clinic. I am a stay at home mom and college student. My schedule is flexible and allows me to be home the majority of the time. I provide respectful and responsible service. I have a secure, dog-friendly home with a large fenced backyard. My lab Potter will love to play and run with your fur baby!
“Bridget had a great time with Novely. Novely was very kind and caring with Bridget. With the photos and video Novely sent I could see that Bridget ran and played in the yard with Novely’s dog and had a fun day.”
“We used Zuri for a daysitting. She was excellent with our 4 month puppy who has separation anxiety. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day to let us know our puppy was doing great. We will definitely plan to use Zuri in the future and would highly recommend her.”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“Chelsea was great with my dog, she was very responsive and you can tell how much she loves dogs! My pup came home very tired and happy from running around with her boys all day. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I can’t say enough how happy I am. I was sent pictures and information about my baby all day. She made sure my pup had a low-stress visit and gave me peace of mind at work today. THANK YOU! She’s excited to come back! ❤️”
“So grateful for Tianna!! We needed daycare for a newer rescue dog who can be pretty timid. Tianna did an excellent job of assessing whether he would be an ok fit at the meet and greet and took things at his pace. She updated us about him settling in and he came home happy. Thank you!!”
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”

I keep a close eye on pets during care, make sure doors and gates stay secure, and keep potentially harmful items out of reach. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and safe while you’re away! 🐾💕

“On time. She is patient and able to redirect my reactive small dogs with treats and/or a squeaky toy. She goes above and beyond by helping me to continue to train my dogs not to react while on their walks.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 whenever my family or friends go out of town I’m always the go to person for pet sitting following each direction from feeding bathing to night time. I also send out updates so no worry’s. I am currently available Monday through Sunday, offering flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when needed , but if plans change please let me know 2 or 3 days before thank you When caring for pets, their safety is always my top priority.

About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the house and we’ve had dogs in all ranges from chihuahuas to siberian huskies! I trained all three of our huskies to sit, shake, lay down, pray, roll over, etc. They are also all leash trained. My cats are fed twice daily so I definitely understand the importance of keeping a routine with pets! We are fortunate to have an automatic litter box, but I truly don’t mind cleaning litter boxes/picking up after pets. My cats have been trained to stay off furniture in my home and are leash trained to go on walks with me. They are fed twice a day and has access to their space which includes their food and water, litter box, cat tree, and toys at all times.
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I am a remote worker with extra time available. I grew up with labs and Shih Tzus as well as cats. I've been dog sitting for the past 8 years and have done volunteer camps at the Willamette Humane Society. I am pretty flexible this summer for house sitting, dog walking, or drop ins. I can feed, walk, play with, cuddle, or even bathe your dog! I'm an animal lover and would be fine with other pets at the house, too. Watching and caring for dogs, cats or other pets is something I love to do on its own, aside from it being a "job." This would be a great way to spend my time. I am currently working part time, so will have time most days for drop ins, walks, etc. I am also available some weekends, as well. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. If your pet is friendly, then it could be an option for them to come stay at my house.
About: I've taken care of pets basically my whole life, especially cats, and I've also had a dog for a couple years. I'm always the first person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I stay well read on what's good for animals, from training to helping with anxiety, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a pet is happy. They're living creatures who deserve just as much happiness as we do. In terms of training, I've helped a cat retrain to use the litter box after it regressed due to anxiety, working through the root cause rather than just the behavior itself. I've also reduced aggression in animals through consistent training. I'm willing to stick with things for a long time and stay consistent, especially when it's for the betterment of the animal. My life is quite flexible, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I prefer jobs where I'm able to stay in charge of how the work gets done, since that's when I feel like I can give my best contribution. That flexibility means I can adjust to a pet's needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid schedule. When I'm caring for a pet in their own environment, I make sure to respect their space and routine completely, from where they're allowed to go to how they're used to being handled. I pay close attention to safety details like doors, gates, and anything that could be harmful to them, and I adapt to whatever setup the home already has in place.
About: I have worked at a boarding facility for three years. I currently work at an animal emergency facility and have been here for 2 years. I love animals and caring for them is my calling. I am well trained in dealing with emergency, animal nutrition, can trim nails and do basic grooming of pets as well! I am very flexible and am able to juggling my responsibility as needed. I do work as a veterinary assistant but I have a set schedule that allows me to be work another job. I have a create if needed. I have cat and dog proofed my home. I have a quiet room for birds and rodents if need be that away from the fur babies. I leash walk dogs only. I am willing to leash walk cats but only by request. I live by the Jackson Frazier Wet lands so walking dogs there is always a nice walk for them and me.
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
“Trevor was great! Edith loved him and he did a great job getting good walks for her. She can be a difficult girl but he became her best friend by the end of their first walk and she would wait for him by the door.”
About: I’m experienced in caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I love walking dogs, teaching them new tricks and words and most of all play time outdoors. I will give them all the love while you’re away. I am a homemaker with free availability, I am usually home meal prepping or tending to the garden. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a large fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.
About: I have been responsible for, owned, or been caretaker of animals of all sizes (cats to buffalo) for 50+ years in the Pacific Northwest, Florida, and in Texas. I love animals of all kinds (except reptiles) and am comfortable and confident in their care. I am semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. The job I have now only requires that I have internet access, so I am able to work from just about anywhere. I spend the summer months in the Pacific Northwest and the rest of the year traveling from Southern California to Key West and up through the Carolinas. I am happy to follow client's instructions and respect your pet's routines and expectation. I know that love is just as important as fresh water and a regular feeding schedule. I'll take the time to make sure chins are scratched, tummies are rubbed, balls are thrown, and time spent just loving on them is prioritized.
About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.

“I'm so glad we met Shelby through Rover. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our senior dog for the night. She was communicative, sent pics, and several updates throughout our dog's stay. We appreciate the love she gave our girl and highly recommend her!”
“Appreciate the care & attention Connie has given to my geriatric fur baby. She gives medication as prescribed & he receives lots of attention. She’ keeps in contact with updates so I’m assured he’s doing well.”
“Our dog recently completed a 10 day stay and loves it here. Plenty of room to roam in an expansive back yard. Attentive treatment from a caring boarder. Plenty of social time with a few good friends including Jade’s own sweet dogs. What more could your very own “best friend” ask for?”
“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney again! 😊”
“Tracy watched our 110 lb Shepherd mix dog for two nights while we were out of town and she was amazing! We had never left him overnight with anyone before and he can be kind of anxious at times, so I was a little worried he would be a disaster to care for. We met with her a couple weeks prior to the boarding and we could easily tell he would be perfectly fine in her care. We got multiple updates and pictures from her during his stay which was very reassuring! We will definitely be using Tracy again!”
“Allison was fantastic with both of our dogs! From the moment they met, I could tell they were in great hands. Allison kept me updated with photos and notes, followed all feeding and routine instructions perfectly, and keeps everything clean and tidy. It made my trip completely stress-free knowing my dogs were well cared for and happy. I would book Allison again in a heartbeat!"”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Upon arrival, Joseph greeted my dog and showed an interest in her. Because this was our dog’s first time with him, I appreciated that he inquired if she is food aggressive and if she enjoys playing fetch. My request for photos was honored along with a brief narrative update. Joseph was quick to respond to my messages. I feel comfortable with having my dog stay with Joseph again. 🐾”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“My boys (older doodle and younger dachshund mix) were excited to meet Larissa and I was grateful to see that they settled in quickly. They stayed for 2 days and now I know I have somewhere that they will be safe and taken care of when I’ve got to be away. I received updates that included both pictures and actual descriptions of how things were going with them. If you are looking for a safe, loving, family experience for your fur baby, Larissa is my number one recommendation!”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
