About: I worked at a kennel service in high school and have cared for friends' and neighbors' animals for numerous years. I am a professional groomer working in Waterloo. I have taken an animal behavior class and a pet first aid and CPR certifying class so I can keep your pets safe and happy! I am a dog groomer, though currently unemployed. I can be home with your pet as much as they need! I typically get up between 9 and 10 but will adjust to your pet as needed! I will nurture your dog or cat's natural instincts by allowing them to play, exercise, and explore in the safest ways possible. Specifications and rules are, of course, up to you but I believe in letting the animals be animals when possible! I have education in the body language of dogs and cats and am also pet CPR and first aid certified. I work my hardest to create a comfortable experience for you and your pet while you are away.

“Thanks, Mary!”

About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.

“Holly is very nice and very loving to our dog. She sent pictures every day. She was flexible on start times when we needed it. I definitely recommend Holly and will use her again.”

I make it a priority to provide consistent, attentive care because I know how important routine and trust are for both pets and their owners.

I always follow specific instructions from the owner and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have experience dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog walking and even some grooming. My passionate love for animals doesn’t vary between small, large, young, or old - I love them all! I have plenty of weekend availability, but I am a student during the week, so my flexibility has been a little restricted. This summer I will have 8-10 hr days twice a week (including commute). Please reach out to see if my exact schedule will work for you! My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible with me. I take caution when getting to know a new animal, making sure to give them the time and space they need in order to get to know me.

About: Hello! I’m Kyra, a college student in Jeffco, and I am super excited to be providing pet care services on Rover! I have provided pet care for numerous dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as cared for many of my family and friends pets while they were away on vacations. With a lifetime of caring for a menagerie of animals, I have gained valuable experience as a pet owner. Trust your beloved pets to someone who understands their needs and treats them like family. I don’t offer pet care in my own home as I am currently living with my parents as I obtain my college degree, however I am happy to provide overnight services in your home as well as pet walking and drop-ins. I do not charge for Meet and Greets! I want you to get a feel of my personality as well as the pet! I also find it necessary to see how your pet reacts to my presence before pet sitting as well. I am a very loving person and enjoy getting to meet any and every animal I can, so I hope you’ll trust me with your fur babies in the near future! I am a current online college student in the Jefferson County area and will be very flexible to accommodate the needs of pet parents. I am available any day of the week, for walks, check-ins, and overnights. I do not do in-house care at my own home, however I am an avid animal lover and would happily care for the pets in the pets' home. I can be playful or give them space and follow feeding instructions thoroughly.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight. When I turned 16 i started rescuing animals and getting them the vetting they needed. In total I rescued 27 dogs and puppies and rehomed them successful. I had to stop due to lack of funds but this is a prefect way to help dogs again! After all they truly are better than people. im free all week every week! as of currently i am not working so i figured walking dogs would be a great pass of time ! My family has 5 dogs and 2 cats. We do not have a fenced in yard so we do daily walks 3 times a day if not more and take them to the dog parks twice a week.

“Bella was so kind, responsible, and communicative! She’s the best!”

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.

About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!

About: I have owned, been surrounded by, or been trusted to watch dogs for most of my life. Currently only own a cat so hoping to enjoy dogs on here until I get a dog! I currently work night shift and so I am available afternoons and weekends. I’m very flexible and would love to get to know your pet soon! I try to take advantage of walks and use them as an opportunity to burn off some energy so the pup gets a nice nap after. I will do what it takes to make sure the tail is wagging next time I walk in the door.

About: I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom with kids that love dogs as much (or more) as I do! We would love to love on your pup while you are away! I stay home to homeschool our two girls. Our schedules are flexible and would allow a good amount of attention and care for the pups in our care. Our yard is not fenced but we do have a lead, I can easily crate if needed and I have a sweet pup named Clive who loves furry friends- not to mention two daughters who love to play with dogs!

“My pup Lady says Allison was a 5 star walker! She is organized, good with communication and bakes yummy dog treats. Sad to say goodbye as we move out of state.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets. Along with volunteering at a local rescue, I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I care for my own dogs every day and often help friends with their pets. I also volunteer regularly at a local rescue. Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, so I’m comfortable handling different animals and their needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean and secure environment. Whether at my home or yours, I follow established routines and any specific instructions to provide consistent care. Communication is clear and timely to keep owners informed.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.
