“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I could tell he was having a great time and was well loved and cared for. Nancy and Butch are lovely people and I highly recommend their services!!”
“Amy did a fabulous job with caring for my 2 dogs! She sent photos and updates which were very much appreciated! She’s knowledgeable about dogs so I felt super comfortable with her watching my dogs. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to all who need her services!”
“Excellent first time experience with the Rover app!! Jordan provided updates and pictures that gave peace of mind. Will most definitely be using Jordan’s services in the future. Thank you!”
“Vivian was amazing with our two dogs! She even was able to get our Lily girl to come around and let them hold her, which is a rare feat!! I received pictures everyday and felt very reassured that our dogs, even our Lily who is not great with strangers, were well cared for and in wonderful hands! I definitely would not hesitate to book with her again!!”
“Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.”
“Jamie was wonderful with The Diva! Jaime sent photos every day while we were away and updated us on how Hadassah was adjusting. I would highly recommend her to care for your sweet ones. Bobbi Jo”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Amanda was great with our dog Charlee. She kept us up to date and sent us daily pictures. She gave our dog a lot of love and attention, which put us at ease while we vacationed. This was our first experience with Rover and it was a great one with Amanda. Thank you Amanda!”
“Carol was amazing with my fur child. She sent pictures everyday and just loved on her like she was her own. Will use her every time I have to leave town and can't take my girl with me!”
About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“Im so thankful for Jennifer, she was able to watch my puppy last minute, she was great communicating with me throughout my puppy stay. She’s wonderful with animals and I definitely will be booking another stay with her and her family!!”
About: Graduate of the Vet Tech Institute in 2018. Board certified by the state of PA. Worked at an ER vet for 2 years, currently work at a GP animal hospital as an anesthesia nurse. Able to give medications if needed. Lover of all cats, dogs, pocket pets, and most reptiles. I will treat your pet as if one of my own, or like any of my patients I see at work. I do work full time so taking care of your pets will have to work around my work schedule. I work full time at a GP animal hospital. Im off most weekends, and can work around my work schedule to make sure your pet is cared for. I have a very friendly sweet cat who loves everyone he meets, and sometimes a just as sweet medium sized dog. Can crate your pet if needed.
“Becky was WONDERFUL with Milo. It was our first time leaving Milo with a sitter through Rover and I can’t express enough how great our experience was. Becky sent us photos of Milo everyday which we loved. She took him to the park everyday to get exercise. He was so happy staying with her and we will definitely be using Becky again when we go out of town. Thank you Becky for taking care of Milo & loving him as much as we do!!”
“Kelly is great! She was communicative, caring, and even taught our Golden Retriever a few new tricks while she watched him (paws down!) I’d highly recommend her to anyone look for a dog sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats and some Horses for as long as I can remember. I am the person who seeks out the family pet to hang out with instead of the adults :) I raised cocker spaniels in California for a few years. (2 litters) Both my Cocker Spaniels lived to 17 years old! I now have an 11 year old Golden who is the love of my life, I have been giving him CBD for 4 years, and he still acts like a teenager. My mini Golden is a Rescue. She has really come a long way in the 2 years that I have had her. She is the queen of the house now. I love ever minute of it. I am currently not working and would love to just pet sit for a living instead of seeking anything else. I live in Hernando Beach and can either visit your home, or stay at your home. Or I can bring your fur baby to my home. I have two golden retrievers. I can even set up your pet in the lower level (where I would also stay) if your fur baby needs to be away from my two. I have a fenced yard, multiple dog doors, and we love walks! Also lots of beds and couches to snuggle up on! We live on the water and the pups can stick there paws in the water if they would like.
About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.
“Jenn were so AMAZING & SO patient with Hope. Due to possible past abuse/neglect when she was 1st born, Hope is a super skittish Bichon who tends to be anxious around even her family at times, let alone new people. They took phenomenal care of our pup & thru trial & error figured out how to make her the most comfortable & ultimately less anxious over time, which definitely put our mind at ease over Thanksgiving. They took her on walks, sent Hope pics & updates, not to mention, slowly introduced her to their bigger dog, Lola. They also did an excellent job w/ some special need concerns consisting of taking good care of Hope’s tail that has a hot spot on it. She had to wear a cone at times so she didn’t nibble & lick her hot spot. They took off her cone & watched her closely to give her a break (when needed), yet made sure to keep a close eye on her, so she didn’t chase her tender tail without the cone on. They were very flexible on changing dates for us, to add on a day extension w/ no issues. Plus, they met us 1/2 way, since we live an hour from their home, which was so nice. Very accommodating. We would not hesitate to ask Jenn & Peter to care for Hope again in the future! And hope to have them watch our pup possibly at the end of December to beginning of January. EXCELLENT CARE‼️ ? ? ?”

“Kaley has been a life saver for me on two occasions. She gives my kitties such great care!!! Make sure they are comfy, fed and have fresh water And brings up any concerns or ideas for my fur babies!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. Growing up with dogs taught me that every pup has a unique personality, and over the years I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family members and friends. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—as well as dogs with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. In addition to personal pet care experience, I am an active shelter volunteer at Four Footed Friends, where I enjoy hands-on experience working with dogs of varying backgrounds and abilities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making each dog feel safe and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and treat them like one of my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I work full time M-F 8am-4:30pm. I can be available mornings before work, or evenings after, during weekdays. Weekends are flexible. Working out what works best for you and your pets should not be a problem. I have a four-year-old female (spayed) mini goldendoodle who is highly socialized with a friendly temperament and loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. I try to get her out for a walk every day, depending on weather, or at least a little time sitting outside on the porch or playing fetch in the yard. If we can’t go outdoors, she loves to play tug, and enjoys puzzle toys for mental stimulation, or some trick training with treats. We both love to be outside during the summer, so if you have a backyard, we are willing to entertain your pup with play, lounging outside, or going for a walk.
“Joselle was a great pet sitter. She not only cared for our large senior dog, she also took care of our daughter’s 9 week old puppy. She kept in touch with us & was very attentive. Will definitely book her again”
“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. Our puppy wasn’t feeling great the night before but Paige kept me posted on how she was doing throughout the day. Dogs were happy when we came home and house was as we left it. Would definitely use Paige again.”
About: I have always lived with cats in the house. I work with cats at PetSmart cleaning the cages, giving food and water, and socializing the cats. I have a flexible schedule. I am on weekdays and weekends in the morning, afternoon, and night. I am happy to see your pet at anytime. I respect cats if they do not want to interact with me. I will back away from the cats if they seem angry or scared.
About: I used to work at an animal rescue so I’ve dealt with all kinds of dogs! What I learned from working there is that every animal is special and deserves all the love in the world. I work part-time at an elementary school. I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so my schedule any other day is wide open. I just need the client to put in the request a couple days in advance! I am a college student so I live in an apartment with three other girls. The apartment is pet friendly and we have dogs over all the time! There is no fenced in yard, but there is a beautiful, spacious yard behind the complex. As for a client’s home, I will care for the pet per the clients request!
About: I have 6 years of experience with dogs. From doggy daycare, Kennels, and veterinary clinics I have all the experience your furry friend would need! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, medications and so much more! I will care for your dogs like my own. I currently work part time at a kennel I've been at for 3 years now. I can do Monday-Friday evening as of right now. I do Walks mainly but also drop ins and daycares. I do not do overnight stays or in home stays. I do not care for pets in my home but I would be happy to do whatever needs done with your furry friend. A walk? Ball time? You name it and I'll be happy to do it!

We live on 2 acres that hoping to get fenced in the next year. We like hiking so your dogs into that please have all flea and tick things they require. All dogs must be vaccinated and up to date on shots as we have 2 dogs. All dogs must be good with small children. Home sitting /walking in mostly available afternoon night time. Dogs during these 2 services do not need to be good with small children as my child will not be with me.

About: I have tons of experience with both cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own that i trained and take care of, a golden retriever and a cat! I am home for the summer hoping to save for college. I can promise I will be a great person to rely on to take care of your pets! I work an evening shift at my part time job throughout the week, but it is very flexible. I am open throughout the week and can work per care into my schedule very easily. I have a very friendly dog in my home and a cat that is inside and outside. When it comes to caring for your pet in my home, I will treat them as my own! My dog gets almost daily walks and is on a very consistent feeding schedule, as yours will be as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life so I know what all needs to be done and parents have relied on me to take care of our animals. I have also dog/cat sat for my neighbors multiple times every year. I’m reliable to take them on walks, feed them, and all of that. I am a current student at IUP but only have one class a day with multiple online on top of two part time jobs but my schedule is very flexible so I’d be able to spend more time with your animals if you’d prefer! If your dogs need to be crated I can easily do that, if they need to be walked can do that. Whatever you’d need done for them Id be able to do since I’ve grown up with two german shepherds my whole life.

About: I'm a huge animal lover with a love of love to give. I’ve taken care of a variety of cats for about 10 years now whether it was through family or other. Your kitty will be in the most incredible care when they are with me!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I've had a variety of dog breeds. I currently have 3 of my own; one big(Australian Shepard dobermand mix), one medium (pitbull), and one small (mini pinscher). I also dog sit for friends when they go on vacation. I walk, feed, bathe, and play with their dogs as well as my own. I am an EMT. I work 12 and 24 hour shifts rotating between 2-3 days a week. On my days off I plan to spend them with some dogs and/or cats! In my home I have a fenced in back yard that my dogs can run and play safely. Fetch is my pitbulls favorite game and I love to play with her. If I were to take care of your pets I would make sure to follow your dog's schedule as they normally would, including playtime and walks!
About: I was blessed as a child to have a life long pup. She was 15 years old so she grew up with me. Now I have 3 pups of my own that my children get the opportunity to grow up with! I have 2 doodles (one aussiedoodle, and the other is a Bernedoodle) the 3 red is a little Yorkie who I say is the “old grandpa” of the group! 🤣 I love every dog just as it would be my own. I have pup sat for several people but now thought I’d offer my services to others now as well. I look forward to meeting all of you as your pups or kitties! I work full time, but I can do weekends for drop ins, as well as evenings and early mornings. I’m am very open to talking about what your needs are as well.

“I was definitely a nervous new mom dropping Rosie off with someone I just met but Jordan was kind, patient, and thorough. She is also extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Rosie had the best day on her farm!”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 12 and have house sit/walked/let out my friends and families dogs for years. I love taking care of them like they are my own as I don’t have any pets living with me now. I don’t work all summer long. I travel most weekends but am available during the week all day. I am off of work until August 1 and then my schedule doesn’t allow for much flexibility. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. There is plenty of room for dogs to use the bathroom and go for walks on the leash. I allow pets on my furniture but if that’s not what you do in your household I will implement the same rules you use. No matter how friendly your dog is, I won’t allow other dogs to approach since I don’t know many of the dogs in my complex. I do not hit dogs as a reprimand at any time so please tell me what methods you’re comfortable with me using instead if needed. Honestly, if there’s anything specific you can feel free to ask for it or question me if you need!

About: Who can love your little ones as you do? I was licensed for child daycare in Colorado for over 10 years. We are animal lovers and guardians of two little dogs. Adults who love and understand the needs of little fur babies. We would love to get to know your special one too. Please make sure you add all of the info for the vet you use. All dogs will need to be current on vaccines and flea and tick care. Please keep in mind when you pay for one day it covers you for 24 hrs. So if you bring your baby at 6 a.m. you will be covered till 6 a.m. the following day. Any hours after that is $6.00 an hour. If you book for more than a weekend, I can be flexible (1 to 2 hrs) due to flight delays, etc. Thank you! I'm currently not working outside home so no matter what your little ones will have someone here at all times. I feed everyone seperately and we walk when weather permits. We have potty pads available for comfort in between outings. I allow access to my whole home and will enjoy a walk once a day or more weather permitting. We have a great time individually and daily with all our little ones.
About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats and some Horses for as long as I can remember. I am the person who seeks out the family pet to hang out with instead of the adults :) I raised cocker spaniels in California for a few years.

“Jessika was amazing with our nervous chihuahua Disco! She is one of the few people he hasn’t been afraid of. She was so communicative and we will definitely be entrusting her with him in the future.”
About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and have cared for them myself since I was 10 years old. My dog of 14 years recently passed away and I've decided to sign up for Rover to get my puppy fix keeping other dogs company while their owners are at work, traveling etc. I work from home full time, have a large fenced in yard and can give your dog(s) the love and attention they deserve! I currently work from home full time so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available from any time in the morning until whenever needed in the evening. I can take breaks as needed to walk your pups in addition to letting them run around in our fenced-in yard as much as they please! I have a large fenced-in yard where I can play with them and be fully-attentive or let them relax on their own outside if preferred and acceptable to you. Our home is air conditioned/heated and comfortable to your pets while you are working/away.

“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant dropping off my baby boy…however Caitlin made me feel right at ease! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and I could tell Biscuit was having a great day! If I am ever needing a sitter in the Johnstown area again, I would definitely contact Caitlin again!!!”
About: Hi there! I'm Amanda. I am 35 years old. I've grown up my entire life with several animals. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. Over the years I have helped my family and neighbors puppy sit while they were away as well as helping families through rover! I have the time to help out with your furry loved ones! Please feel free to reach out to me! I look forward to hearing from you! I am available 24/7 to care for your furry babies. Whatever schedule you have them on, I have the availability to follow it for you! I personally do not have a fenced in yard, but we have two hooks outback for our dogs. I am also able to crate dogs if needed. I am willing to follow all rules and schedules of my clients home.
About: Hi there! My name is Melissa, and I have never met a fur baby that didn't take to me quickly. Our little family includes quite a few very friendly, well behaved, and super spoiled fur (and a few non fur) kids. Our 'mini zoo' as we call it, is home to our 2 dogs, Benji (Shichon) and Cheza (white German Shepherd); 2 rabbits Khaleesi (lion head), Jack (Russian dwarf); multiple aquariums, 2 whites tree frogs Mel and Gibson; an axolotl named Niko; three cats Kira, Lilly, and our "foster fail" 2 yr old Salem! (Phew, i told you it a zoo! Haha) Any time new dogs are at our home, we keep the cats in a separate closed off part of the house, so don't worry if cats make your fur baby a little excited. Our home is filled with lots of love, treats, and toys (more than likely one or two will make it's way home with you haha) I have had dogs my entire life. I spent 7 years volunteering at our local animal shelter walking and training dogs before they found their forever homes. Working with dogs of every size, from all walks of life, has prepared me for pretty much anything I could encounter. Even though being a full time wife, brand new mom, and mini zookeeper keeps me very busy; I am still left with a lot of love in my heart for all living creatures. So now that my mini hiatus for maternity leave is over, it's time to get back into spending as much time with 'all the dogs (or cats, bunnies, chickens, birds, ect)' as I possibly can. Whether that is done by walking, stopping to visit them while they are home alone, having a fun doggy daytime party in my home, or having them stay for a slumber party, I am totally game. I have been walking on the side though another service for quite some time. I am proud of my 5 star rating, and owner compliments about my extra caring nature, trustworthiness, and reliability. Among my family, friends, and colleges, I am known to be extremely reliable, trustworthy, and happy to do whatever I can to make someone else's life easier. My goal is to continue to do that for you, and give you a piece of mind to know that your pets are in the best of hands. I am, and have always been the go-to person for all of my family & friends when they need someone to take care of their fur family. I am often told that they admire how much I love their pets as my own... which pretty much means I spoil them all with immense amounts of love, but I just can't help it! But I promise that I can guarantee I will do the same for yours. I am currently a full time wife and new mom, so I am home full time! My husband also works from home, and is usually available to give me a hand when he needs a mental health break throughout his work day. And what's a better mental health break than spending time with dogs? In our opinion, nothing! We already are caring for our own, so a couple more are just a bonus. So this means that your pets will have constant love, and plenty of opportunities to exercise. In my home we have 3/4 acre of land. Our yard is partially fenced for the time being (will be fully fenced in this fall). All visitors to our home have access to our enclosed porch for some relaxation and sunning. For potty breaks and outside exercise a high grade durable yard lead is available, but not used with escape artists, or small dog breeds. Dogs are never left unattended outside at any time. Escape artists, extra strong doggos, and small breed dogs will be leashed and additional precautions will be discussed in advance with you.
About: I've been a pet sitter for about 15 years. My german shepherd came into my life 7 years ago which gave me another view of pet care experience. I have worked with and cared for dogs with anxiety, fear, aggression, and in need of extra cognitive stimulation. Okay with giving meds and teaching tricks. Currently, I'm working nursing shifts as needed, with running errands on my days off. I'm more often available than not and have flexibility to work around others schedule. I have a back door doggy door that leads into a fenced in back yard (approx half an acre). I also live in a small neighborhood (very little traffic) with about a mile loop for walks. My military and nursing experience makes me very type A. Everything is always clean, tidy, and on time.

About: I grew up caring for both family dogs and neighbor’s dogs. I adopted a puppy of my own two years ago and trained her myself. After hiking half of the Appalachian Trail, I would love to walk more dogs in my free time! I am currently employed part time. I work mostly in the afternoon/evening so mornings are best, but I will have some later availability. Just feel free to ask! I will treat your dogs with the same love and care as I give my own. I understand that every pet owner has different preferences and I am happy to follow instructions to meet your dog’s individual needs.
About: I used to work at an animal rescue so I’ve dealt with all kinds of dogs! What I learned from working there is that every animal is special and deserves all the love in the world. I work part-time at an elementary school. I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so my schedule any other day is wide open. I just need the client to put in the request a couple days in advance! I am a college student so I live in an apartment with three other girls. The apartment is pet friendly and we have dogs over all the time! There is no fenced in yard, but there is a beautiful, spacious yard behind the complex. As for a client’s home, I will care for the pet per the clients request!
About: I've been been a kennel attendant for 6 months where I took care of dogs of all breeds. I've also learned how to administer medication to pets for different diseases I am currently employed at a no kill animal shelter where I work with dogs all day long!

You can trust me with your animals because I love them as much as you do and don't want to see anything bad happen to them.
About: My mom runs a rescue, so I have taken care of countless animals while fostering them. I also have 7 cats and 5 dogs which brings a lot of experience. I am a college student athlete, so I am currently free most days of the week and weekends. Aside from doing my workouts, I love to get any extra exercise I can!! During the school year I will only be free during the weekends. I have large yard and path cut through my field for exercise. My dogs and cats are friendly to any other animal, but I am able to crate the pet if needed.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 12 and have house sit/walked/let out my friends and families dogs for years. I love taking care of them like they are my own as I don’t have any pets living with me now. I don’t work all summer long. I travel most weekends but am available during the week all day. I am off of work until August 1 and then my schedule doesn’t allow for much flexibility. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. There is plenty of room for dogs to use the bathroom and go for walks on the leash. I allow pets on my furniture but if that’s not what you do in your household I will implement the same rules you use. No matter how friendly your dog is, I won’t allow other dogs to approach since I don’t know many of the dogs in my complex. I do not hit dogs as a reprimand at any time so please tell me what methods you’re comfortable with me using instead if needed. Honestly, if there’s anything specific you can feel free to ask for it or question me if you need!
About: My animals have always been treated like a member of the family, and are even more spoiled than myself. I will always treat your pet like my own! I work from home so I am available to do daily tasks in between answering emails, phone calls, etc. Pet care comes first before anything! Having a high energy breed myself, I am always striving to make my day fit around my dog. I will meet the needs of your pet based on their energy level and their health.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life so I know what all needs to be done and parents have relied on me to take care of our animals. I have also dog/cat sat for my neighbors multiple times every year. I’m reliable to take them on walks, feed them, and all of that. I am a current student at IUP but only have one class a day with multiple online on top of two part time jobs but my schedule is very flexible so I’d be able to spend more time with your animals if you’d prefer! If your dogs need to be crated I can easily do that, if they need to be walked can do that. Whatever you’d need done for them Id be able to do since I’ve grown up with two german shepherds my whole life.
About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ cats my whole life. You’re animals would be in good hands and loved so much. They would never not be attended to I just love animals and giving them affection because they deserve that too. I can work any time you need me, they are more than welcome to stay at my place or I can travel to you I do drive and have my license! I do not have a yard because of the school apartment, but I will always walk your dog and go to a park near by and just have lots of fun with your fur babies.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 when we first got our pug, Loki. He's 14 now. We also got a bulldog, Chubb's. I've walked, fed, and bathed them ever since. I've also taken care of some of my friends pets. For example, I took care of two Australian cattle dogs, fed them, walked them, played with them, bathed them. For a while I lived with 2 great Danes so I am familiar with big dogs. I'm currently working part time, I am a full time college student but I can work around that schedule! I'm not working many hours at my other job, so I should be more available during the week. I always make sure they're within eye-sight. I would never let them run amuck. I'm going to follow everything you say so safety is no issue.
“Sarah is wonderful to work with. Great communication, accommodating, experienced and knowledgeable with animals, punctual, very friendly and definitely a dog lover!

I have pup sat for several people but now thought I’d offer my services to others now as well. I look forward to meeting all of you as your pups or kitties! I work full time, but I can do weekends for drop ins, as well as evenings and early mornings. I’m am very open to talking about what your needs are as well. I like to see what you do with your pets daily, so that I can follow what you typically do during the day. I know animals do best when you can adhere to a schedule. 😊

About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood!
