“Rillan is fantastic! Our dog is afraid of strangers and we are worried about her situation before coming. We chose Rillan because she had experience with feared dogs. Our dog, DianDian, had a great experience here and I believed she made friends with Rillan. We also received lovely pictures of DianDian almost everyday. Feel free to put your dog here since it’s a good choice!”
“Simone and Kenya take such good care of Smokey and always make sure he’s comfortable and happy. I feel completely at ease leaving him with them whenever I’m traveling. They’re trustworthy, caring, and genuinely treat him like their own. I’m very grateful for all the love and attention they give him.”
“Tess and Curt were absolutely amazing. Easily some of the best people that have ever cared for my dog, Honey! They provided the best environment for her and were incredibly diligent about making sure they were familiar with her schedule, behavior, and personality before she even arrived. Their dog, Finn, was also a joy and the best playmate for Honey. I loved knowing that she was getting so much interaction and stimulation! They also spent a TON of time with Honey and sent me multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day! I never worried about Honey once. I would choose them over and over again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and involved family to care for their dog. I can’t say enough good things about them!”
“My dog loved his stay with Derya! Derya was great at sending us updates and pictures/videos of our dog daily. My dog was well cared for and very happy by the time we picked him up. I am glad to have found such a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Katie did an amazing job with my pup! My dog is a little nervous when separated, but Katie made her feel right at home. Will be booking again with Katie for sure!!”
“Jessica and her family were amazing sitters for our Labrador "Bella!" We couldn't have asked for a nicer or kinder family to entrust our fury family member. Bella loved her time with Jessica leaving my wife and I comforted to know she was in good care! Highly recommend Jessica for any pet sitting services. She took the time to periodically send videos and photos during Bella's stay. This further secured our trust that Bella was in good hands and allowed my wife and I to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Haley was an amazing sitter for our Rottie Velma. She has amazing pet energy that is evident with every encounter. We know our dog was loved and cared for while we were away for 10 days and we would very much request her again for future care!”
“Ryan took good care of Isabelle, and we were so thankful that he was able to accommodate us on a holiday. And Isabelle has a great time playing with Ryan’s dog, Charlie!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Crystal while she looked after my 9-month-old Snowshoe cat, Mavis, during my spring break. Right from the meet and greet, she knew her stuff. She introduced Mavis to her apartment, and her pet is around the same age, Sushi, and gave us some great tips on helping Mavis settle in. The Blink camera in the room where Mavis stayed was a nice touch, allowing Crystal to check in on her whenever she was out, which was reassuring. Plus, she ensured Mavis got plenty of playtime – she understood Mavis's playful side. I was impressed by how Crystal helped Mavis and Sushi become friends. They hit it off after a little supervised playtime, which made me feel even better about leaving Mavis with her. What genuinely set Crystal apart was her communication. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending updates and adorable pictures of Mavis. It was so reassuring to see Mavis happy and well taken care of while I was away. In short, Crystal is fantastic at what she does. She's caring, professional, and loves animals. I'll definitely be calling on her again next time I need a cat sitter.”
About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”
“Jodi and Bruce treated our fur baby like one of the family, exactly what we were hoping for in finding a home away from home for her. She looks forward to a return stay, and we'll be confident leaving her in their care.”
“Always great with updating me on how my puppy is doing. Sends lots of videos and makes sure he gets lots of play time. Very responsible with making sure dogs are separated if they don’t get along with each other. Always watches my dog great”
“Katrina was an absolute blessing while watching our senior dog, Fudge. We were away for our daughter's graduation and she made sure we could be fully present without a second of worry. She took Fudge on gentle walks tailored to his pace, and constantly sent the sweetest videos and photos that had us smiling the whole weekend. You can tell she truly loves senior dogs — she was patient, attentive, and treated Fudge like her own. Returning to a happy, relaxed pup was the best graduation gift we could ask for. We trust Katina 100% and will be booking her again. If you have a senior dog, she’s your person!”
“Madison was such a great sitter for our doggy Sky! Our flight home even got unexpectedly cancelled and she made accommodations to extend her stay decreasing my stress over the situation. Madison even gave me updates on how sky was doing and my dog came home happy and not nervous at all, which i appreciate in a sitter. I would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting because she was absolutely wonderful!”
“I would definitely book Ana again! She was prompt in communication, flexible with scheduling, and had a clean and great space to board my pup for 21 days. This was the longest I've been away from my pup for a while and she sent photos and videos every few days along with an update which I was so grateful for. There were no emergencies or incidents while we were out which just shows how much Ana took care to read the instructions and take the best care of Coral. You should absolutely book Ana!”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was very little. My first was a barn cat who transitioned to living indoors. I have taken care of kittens and senior cats, and everything in between. I am not afraid of a few scratches if the fur baby comes around in the end!
“Tara was great in looking after my cat. Very respectful and reliable. Tara clearly spent time with her. Usually the cat gives me a bit of a cold shoulder upon return, but not this time!”

About: I've spent my life making furry and feathered friends! From doggos and horses to birds, hamsters, chickens, and even cats I've pet sat, I've loved every single one like family. I work full-time, but I'm available for pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I'm happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, and quality time when you need it most! I currently have one dog who is well loved and part of the family. When caring for pets in my client's home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine-including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always respect each owner's instructions so their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Couldn’t recommend Bailee highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with a couple extra things I needed help with as well which was nice She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you’re looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) I’d definitely recommend Bailee.”
“Yica did amazing taking care of Kali. She always sent photos while I was traveling for five days and it seems Kali loved staying with Yica. Amazing babysitter if you’re thinking about booking with Yica, I can’t recommend her enough. 10/10 stars.”
About: I recently just adopted my two beautiful cats from the local shelter, Paws, and they’re my life. Cookie is very shy towards strangers while Milk loves everyone at first meetings. I understand if your cat may need a little extra time to warmup to me, or if I ever see them at all. Your cats will be adored!

“Seymour was immediately comfortable with them, and he runs right up to their door when I drop him off! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he's going to have a good day and be well taken care of.”
“We needed a place for our dog to stay for the day while we attended a university event, and Rillan took wonderful care of him. Our dog had a happy and enjoyable day with her. Thank you so much for your kindness and great care.”
“Tess and Curt have been amazing to work with. As a travel nurse with an anxious pup, they have put us both at ease by being consistent and supportive. They always vet other dogs they are working with to make sure they will get along and be safe. I appreciate their diligence.”
“Katie and family took the best care of my puppy during her first ever day care outing. She had a blast playing in the spacious fenced back yard and Katie was nice enough to send me a cute update photo while I was at work. Skye was happily asleep before I was even down their street and heading home. I would definitely schedule with her again!”
“Denika was a wonderful dog sitter! Very communicative with photos, videos and texts! She was very helpful with time flexibility since our travel times were estimated for our child’s move in day at Penn St. We will be scheduling her help again when we are back in town!!”
“I was at Penn state with my family and pet to visit my son and had to get a quick drop of for Bruno (my pet ) for few hours . I found Brooke on Rover . She was very responsive from the time I requested her availability, drop off , pick up etc.”
About: With 20 years of dog sitting experience, I have a lifelong passion for caring for dogs of all ages. I started dog sitting when I was 14 and have since provided overnight and drop-in services. Having grown up with dogs, I've helped train four puppies and nannied for a family with a senior dog for four years. My experience includes administering medication and catering to the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I am dedicated to offering reliable, compassionate, and professional care for your furry friends. I have 2 boys under the age of 5 so we have a louder, high energy house! I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility each day to provide dedicated care, attention, and companionship for your furry friend. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety and well-being. Dogs are always taken out on a leash to ensure their safety. I assume all dogs are not friendly unless told otherwise, ensuring a cautious and respectful approach to each new dog. I am knowledgeable about foods that are toxic to dogs and take great care to prevent them from consuming anything harmful. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, rewarding good behavior rather than punishing the bad, to foster a trusting and happy relationship with the dogs I care for.
“Maya, was wonderful and accommodating. She took care of my pet Nova and I appreciate the love and care she provided . She will be a wonderful loving friend to your pet . Nova was happy to go again on the second day of his daycare. I would leave Nova again with her in the future. Thank you Maya”
“My dog, Mr. Cow Cow had a wonderful day with Sarah! She immediately made him feel right at home. he had fun playing with Sarah‘s dog and Sarah sent me updates and pictures along the way.I was worried he might not want to leave when I came back to pick him up! 🤣😂”

About: I have taken care of a large variety of dogs since I was in middle school, outside of the 3 I have grown up with. I have always been reliable to feed, walk, play and give potty breaks according to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from 5 lbs to 150 lbs, and dogs of all ages. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I mainly work in the afternoons, but my house always has someone available for constant socializing. Whenever I am not at work, I am at home, and will have plenty of quality time to give your pet. :) I love to go on long walks, and have friends who like to join so your animal will be thoroughly socialized. I ensure your dog is never bored with plenty of play time and attention. I am happy to take your pet to a nearby dog park as well, if that is something you are comfortable with.
“Ryan is great. He is responsive and takes good care of Leo. Ryan's puppy, Charlie, and Leo have become friends. Leo is looking forward to future visits with Ryan and Charlie.”
About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially while I’m home for the summer and have a more open schedule. I plan my days around my availability (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays) and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, at least 8 over the years, plus 9 puppies we rehomed to better lives. My mom and I were always the type to stop for any dog that needed help, so caring for them just became second nature to me. I was always the go-to in my family when it came to looking after them, no matter how many we had at once. Your dog will be in hands that genuinely love them. I have a flexible schedule so I'm available pretty much anytime. If you're able to book it, I'm always there and ready. I care for pets in my home and treat them like my own. I make sure they're comfortable, well fed, and never left feeling alone. I offer walks, boarding, and daycare.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I grew up always having a dog around so I have years of experience. I am very responsible and reliable when it comes to any job or task. I currently just moved into the State College area. I’m currently on a job search. Until I find the right job for me, my availability is very open. I currently don’t have any pets in my home. I prefer not to stay at my clients homes to watch their dog. I would prefer drop-ins or bring them to my home. Outside of my home we have a dog park and walking trails!
“Melanie and Doran couldn’t have been more perfect!! They were so kind and made my dog feel right at home. They were super attentive and gave lots of updates and pictures which made my day! I am so grateful for this help! My pup is pretty anxious and he settled right in!”
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and build trust with both pets and owners. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps in supervision. I’m able to easily adjust my work hours to accommodate walks, playtime, and any specific care needs, including medications or special routines. On a weekly basis, my flexibility also allows me to take on longer visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care whenever needed. I prioritize following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions to ensure their well-being and reduce stress. I take time to build trust with pets through patience, gentle handling, and consistent care, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, safe environment by monitoring surroundings, preventing potential hazards, and ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately. My goal is to create a calm, reliable space where pets feel at ease and owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands.

About: Ever since we adopted my dog in 2019, I have been obsessed with caring for animals. I have taken my dog on at least 100 walks in his lifetime so far, and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon! Additionally, I have been requested by multiple neighbors and friends to dog sit and cat sit for them. I have been dog sitting and catsitting for the same people for about 4 years now, so I would say I have a lot of experience!! I currently work part time at Kohls, so my schedule is a little all over the place. However, I am willing to set a strict availability in order to balance both jobs. Ideally, I can work during the week, but if weekends are needed, I can make some changes. I am very much a rule follower when it comes to watching pets in a clients home. I try to stay by the animals as much as possible to make sure they aren’t getting up to anything, while also staying in the common areas to respect my clients home. I love playing with the animals and giving tons of pets, so don’t worry about your pets being bored!
About: Hi! My name is Katie! I am a student at Penn State and a lover of all creatures, large and small! I have had family dogs throughout my childhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, breeds with longer coats, and both large and small breeds. I also have experience with handling rescues of various sizes with different triggers. I also have grown up with cats and have experience with all ages and sizes too! Additionally, I have experience with caring for pet rabbits. I have had several over the years. **I do not have experience with disabled or dogs with special needs, however I am willing to learn and accommodate whenever necessary! I am currently working part-time and am a part-time student at Penn State (student status subject to change). I will have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies! I cannot provide boarding services at this time, so all my pet care services will be at or around your home. I can walk the dogs, play with them, make sure they are properly fed and watered, and take them outside regularly.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born! I currently have two 80lbs dogs, Layla and Luna, and they are my best friends. I have watched my friend’s and neighbors dogs since I was 16 years old. I have volunteered at PAWS, a local animal shelter. I am familiar with big and small dogs along with those with more specific needs. I currently work full time, 8AM-5PM M-F. However, I am remote Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and have a lunch break from 1-2pm. I can let your pup(s) out morning, afternoon, early evening, and night, along with more times if needed! I don’t have a fence in my yard but I have long leashes attached to my deck posts. Please provide me with more information about your pup and circumstances if you are looking to board!
About: I've had 2 dogs, and I had a wonderful list of clients in Vermont. They were friends or became friends. Your dog is my love. I am retired. My daily schedule is fairly flexible right now except for a morning class at the Y. This is my only part-time job. I follow all of your expectations, and I will spend a lot of time cuddling and playing. I also talk a lot to your pets!
About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.
“Bailee was patient and great with my very anxious dog. She provided lots of photos and feedback about her walk with him. Will definitely use her for future walks!”
“Carla was the best! I am an ED RN and have relied on Carla to check in on my fur baby while on long shifts. I always felt that my dog was in safe hands and truly cared for. She was so flexible with her schedule during these times and I am so so thankful for her!”
About: I’m a Penn State student, formerly an Animal Science major and now a third-year studying Psychology. I previously volunteered at PAW Pets Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and interacting with dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’m very patient when it comes to pet care, and I enjoy teaching and guiding pets step by step so they can feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I also have a toy poodle back home, so I understand the responsibility and attention that goes into caring for a dog every day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a Penn State student, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with pets in the afternoon, taking them on walks in the evening and every morning, and making sure they get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I truly love spending time with animals and try to make the most of every moment I have with them. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to move around. My home has three floors, giving pets room to walk, explore, and stay active throughout the day. I also make sure they have a quiet bedroom space where they can rest comfortably. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I still do to this day. If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out! I have a pretty flexible schedule as I work from home most days of the week. I’d love to take your pup for a walk around the neighborhood! I have 2 cats and a puppy. I would treat any pet as if they were my own and make sure you’re happy and trusting that I’ll take care of them.
About: I have been happily adopting animals into my family home since 2005! That comes with hands on experience with training, quality care, and an extreme love for pets and animals! I have been pet-sitting for years, whenever I can add it to my schedule it becomes a priority! I am currently a student at PSU, I study Psychology and Neuroscience! I would be available for drop-in visits during the week in the mornings, and in the evenings I have open availability! I have experience with training, and handling animals that require extra care and comfort! I aim to not only make your animal(s) enjoy our time together, but for you as the owner to have a positive experience as well!
“Tara is a very responsible, polite individual. She came exactly on time, gave us information about our dog's walk, and sent us a picture in a timely manner. It is obvious that she is comfortable and familiar with dogs. I would hire her again.”
About: I've had pets in my life since I was a child - dogs, cats, rabbits, and rats! I currently have one large dog (German Shepherd mix) and a cat. I'm comfortable caring for all sizes and types of dogs, any cats, or other small animals. I've worked with a trainer for my own dog for reactivity, and have experience walking and taking care of large dogs. I work full time during the week and am available for morning/evening visits and weekends visits or walks. I will give your fur babies the same love and care I give to mine, they are family! I work full time during the week so I am available for morning and evening visits during the week, and weekend visits or walks at any time. My fur babies are quite spoiled! I will give yours the same love and care. I'm professional, dependable, and genuinely love caring for animals, mine or yours!
“Will is a great dog walker with the extra bonus of being polite and respectful. Amilyn took right to him and I am very happy to know she is safe and well protected when she is out.”
About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life, so pet care is second nature to me! I'm super friendly and love making furry friends feel happy and safe. Neighbors and friends trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets—I treat them like my own! I'm home from college for the summer, so I'm available any day, any week! My schedule is completely flexible and I'm happy to work around your needs. I can accommodate various pet care needs, including feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in yours, safety is always my top priority. I ensure she gets a lot of attention and long walks every day. I'll provide a calm and comfortable environment, and I'll take the time to build trust with your pet, ensuring she feels safe and loved.
About: I love animals and have taken care of a variety of animals my whole life! I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have taken care of and ridden horses most of my life. I’ve always been the primary caretaker of all of my families pets, to the point that my “family dogs” always just turned into my dogs. I currently have a 3 year old chihuahua and a 10 year old hound/lab mix. I have experience with just about any situation involving pets. I’ve nursed dogs back after surgery, and had pets on hospice. I am very used to (and prefer typically) longer, more stimulating walks, but also am very happy with short outings. I also have access to a doggie stroller I would be happy to use if needed for any pet! I am unfortunately unavailable Wednesdays and Sundays from 11am-6pm as I am at my barn job. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays I am at my other job from 6pm-12am, but my schedule is typically flexible for both and can be shifted! I have experience with crate training and am very comfortable with gaining new dogs trusts especially in their own home as I’ve studied animals body language on my own extensively!

“Tess and Curt were absolutely amazing. Easily some of the best people that have ever cared for my dog, Honey! They provided the best environment for her and were incredibly diligent about making sure they were familiar with her schedule, behavior, and personality before she even arrived. Their dog, Finn, was also a joy and the best playmate for Honey. I loved knowing that she was getting so much interaction and stimulation! They also spent a TON of time with Honey and sent me multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day! I never worried about Honey once. I would choose them over and over again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and involved family to care for their dog. I can’t say enough good things about them!”
“My dog loved his stay with Derya! Derya was great at sending us updates and pictures/videos of our dog daily. My dog was well cared for and very happy by the time we picked him up. I am glad to have found such a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”
“Madison was such a great sitter for our doggy Sky! Our flight home even got unexpectedly cancelled and she made accommodations to extend her stay decreasing my stress over the situation. Madison even gave me updates on how sky was doing and my dog came home happy and not nervous at all, which i appreciate in a sitter. I would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting because she was absolutely wonderful!”
“I would definitely book Ana again! She was prompt in communication, flexible with scheduling, and had a clean and great space to board my pup for 21 days. This was the longest I've been away from my pup for a while and she sent photos and videos every few days along with an update which I was so grateful for. There were no emergencies or incidents while we were out which just shows how much Ana took care to read the instructions and take the best care of Coral. You should absolutely book Ana!”
“Maya took very good care of our little Ellie. Clearly adores dogs and has lots of experience taking care of them - we'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we're headed out of town!”
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet. Whether it's training a new puppy with positive reinforcement techniques or providing specialized care for senior pets, I focus on understanding and addressing their individual requirements. My approach includes regular communication with pet owners to ensure their preferences and routines are followed, making the experience as comfortable and seamless as possible for both pets and their families. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I start by ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and given any necessary medications. Throughout the day, I maintain their environment and address any needs that arise. My routine also includes regular updates to pet owners, providing them with peace of mind and ensuring continuity of care. Each week, I review and adjust routines to accommodate any changes in the pet’s health or behavior. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure areas, clean spaces, and safety measures like pet-proofing and monitoring. I also follow a consistent routine to maintain stability and comfort for pets. In a client’s home, I prioritize safety by following their specific instructions and maintaining their pet’s usual environment and routines. I ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed, and I keep the home clean and hazard-free. Regular updates and open communication with the pet owners are key to ensuring their pet’s well-being and their own peace of mind.
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and hamsters. Fostered and lived with many dogs. I currently have dogs and cats. They are the joy of my life especially since the kids (and grand dogs) have grown and moved. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs and 2 cats to keep the fur guests company. Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.
