“Victoria was fantastic! She sent pictures and updates. My babies had so much fun I don’t think they even missed me.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since i was a child. As a professional, I have over six years of animal boarding and dog training experience. I have experience in animal bathing, and administering medications for both cats and dogs. I love working with young animals, but i adore senior pets the most. I would love to take care of your baby! If you are interested in dog training just let me know. I'm experienced in balanced-dog training and have trained over a hundred dogs through housecalls and group classes. For a typical day, it's potty breaks and breakfast first thing in the morning. If I don't have any housecalls, I'll be home with your pet. Your pet will get potty breaks every 1.5 hours on minimum until their last potty break at 8 p.m. Your pet will get 2 walks a day either around your neighborhood or at a dog park. If I do have housecalls to attend to, my work day will cut short so your pet won't be alone for too long. If I'm doing a dog training housecall, the lesson is typically one hour. We will go over one or two commands at a time and we will train the dog until i feel that the client and dog have a good understanding of what's going on. I can usually cover over basic obedience in eight lessons. I try to schedule these lessons once every week, but its all based on the clients schedule. I never let your out of my sight while their are in my care. The only times I would ever leave pet would be to go to housecalls or gather supplies. I will take your pet on walks, training practice and provide them with a bath if you ask me or if they get too dirty while in my care.

“Tamara was great with the dogs. Communication was easy and quick. Sent pictures of the dogs. When we got home, you could tell the dogs were looking for her. Awesome job!”

“Davey is the best! I don’t know if I want to leave this review because I want him to be available whenever we need him 😆🥰 Very responsive, understanding with dogs with “issues,” wonderful with cleaning up, taking walks, and making dogs a priority. His stay with our boys was seamless. Highly recommended!”

About: Ever since I was little, I've been raised around and myself raised dogs; starting with my family breeding CKC rat terriers, then rescuing an abused German shepherd, to my current dog being a Yorkie, I'm comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes. While not certified, I am working with clicker training my Yorkie and I can usually teach basic obedience commands; I am also comfortable with attempting to reinforce any behaviors you are trying to teach. I currently am not working but am a live-in helper for my grandmother. Besides taking her shopping and to appointments, I'm pretty open through out weekdays and weekends. While I am offering walking services mainly, I am comfortable following any instructions you might have for if I have to enter your home either to stay a few hours or just stop by for feedings and potty breaks. While I consider myself able to handle larger dogs, I cannot handle poorly trained large dogs that will drag me and dislocate my shoulder. If you are training the dog to walk more calmly on a leash, I feel comfortable reinforcing your training if it is safe to do so.

About: Over 25 years experience with animals. Especially when your pet is high maintenance or challenging in terms of care. I will take care of your pet as one of my own and never use physical punishment or force. I am very flexible and can accommodate most requests. I work from home and am available most of the time especially with notice. Just let me know and we can make arrangements. Located on over 13 acres, with plenty of room to run and play and family members to offer extra love and pats. Our dogs Cooper and Eleanor are the perfect playmates and welcomes new friends. 🥰 Pretty flexible 24/7, I work from home so it is easy for me to accommodate most requests. Just shoot me a message and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule and needs. I recognize that play and socialization are so important to your dog’s happiness, so I ensure they get plenty of both during doggie day care.

“Angela was amazing with Nanny and made us feel so comfortable with taking a trip and knowing she was cared for! Definitely will use her again when we go out of town!”

About: I have had dogs since I was little growing up until now, we currently have a boxer we love like our children. I have trained puppies and worked with dogs of all ages. We also have several farm animals (chickens, horses, goats and birds). Looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s). Our animals are good with other animals but we will want to get them together to make sure it's a good fit if in our home. I am happy to discuss whatever your needs may be and work with you the best I can. No task is too big or small. I have enjoyed working with animals since I was young and hope to continue to do so until I am much older. Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to connecting. I currently work from home and so I am here most of the time to ensure they are watched after regularly. We already have a regular routine for all of our other animals. We will care for your pet as if they are our own. Happy to take whatever considerations are needed to make your pet so welcome. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time each day for feeding, playtime, and maintenance, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I make sure to fit visits into my schedule at times that align with your pet's usual routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. My flexible availability, including mornings, evenings, and weekends, allows me to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into your and your pet's lifestyle. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. In your home, I follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain your cat’s routine and comfort, ensuring their environment feels familiar and secure. I lock all doors and windows after visits, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being, sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If I’m hosting in my home, it’s a safe, cat-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, secure spaces to explore, and toys for mental stimulation. I ensure a calm atmosphere with no other pets, so your cat feels safe and at ease. Whether at your place or mine, I provide personalized care and attention, ensuring your pet's stays safe, happy, and loved.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets over the past couple of years, as well as my grandmas pets and occasionally family friends and others. I am currently working part-time at a child care facility in the evenings from 3-8pm. For the summer, I am available any day at any time other than those five hours of the evening. Even then, I am not scheduled for work every day. I like to be actively involved in caring for pets, ensuring maximum comfort and security for them! I’m extremely patient, so if your pet needs a bit of warming up first, I will provide that needed space and take things slow.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

“Elizabeth was amazing! We’ve never left our girls (a Rottweiler and a Yorkie) with anyone before. It has really hampered our ability to go on vacation. The dogs loved her from the very first meeting. She sent us updates and photos everyday which really helped our separation anxiety, lol. The house was well maintained and she watered our plants for us. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

“Melissa was great! Our dog Hank liked her a lot. She took him for walks, fed him and was all around very good with Hank. Thank you Melissa.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid, walked dogs around the neighborhood hood starting at age 8. I have trained all of my dogs for the past 3 years and currently working on getting certified dog trainer. I have gone through the puppy phase and females in heat. Training puppies is a thing I have gotten down and have helped 3 of my friends train their doggos. I am in the navy currently working 8am-4pm Mon-Fri. I’m available for check ins and walking your doggo in the afternoons, or if needed in the early mornings. I am well versed in the energy dogs need and have no issues playing until the doggo is tired and the energy level is met. I also don’t mind a cuddle bug doggo too!

About: I’ve had animals since I was 5 yrs old, there is just something special about the connection I have with dogs, cats, horses, etc. They make the world a better place, and they are my happy place I have a part time job so I’m looking for something else I enjoy doing which is spending time with animals, feeding, sitting, walking them, playing fetch or just being a companion to the fur babies. My dad has 2 dogs, so we like to play with them in the backyard and I have a small dog and I like to sit with her in the front yard, she’s super spoiled she thinks she’s the queen of the house. We take her for walks and rides, but all of our dogs get pup cups and lots of treats

“Scott did a great job taking care of my home and my two dogs. As a first time Rover user I was a bit nervous, but Scott's frequent communications and pictures put me at ease. I would request Scott again if I take another trip.”

About: My passion for taking care of animals are beyond anything. I will watch your fur babies as if they were my own with love, patience, kindness, and carefulness. I would love to spend any free time I have with your fur babies! I’m available most the time unless attending to other bookings! I am new to Rover so just be patient with me and I can’t wait to meet everyone! I will respect your house as much as if it was my own! I am a very clean and organized person! Your home and babies will be taken care of with love and passion.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. For the past 10 years, I've cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. I'm also a pet parent to two cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can't be there. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether that means going for walks, playing their favorite game, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I'm a business owner, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around my clients' needs. This flexibility gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet sitting requests. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll do my best to follow all of your instructions, prioritize your pet's safety and well-being, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I also believe good communication is important, so you can count on regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away.

“Very friendly, sent pictures and kept us informed. She took very good care of Paco!”

About: I’ve worked at an animal shelter for a year and a half, where I gained hands on experience caring for animals of all temperaments and ages. My responsibilities included walking dogs, feeding, cleaning, and safely administering medications when needed. Working in a shelter environment has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable, even in stressful situations. I also have two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the level of love, responsibility, and care our pets deserve. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. Being around them isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Between caring for my own two cats and dog, I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel loved and secure. Adding your pet to my routine is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s specific needs to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Please check my calendar for the specific days you need care. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick closely to their usual feeding schedules, walk times, play routines, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, quiet companionship, or administering medication, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality.
