I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!

About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care.

We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.

About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.

About: Hi, I love dogs and would love to help you take care of yours. I currently have BIG slobbery bloodhound, a very loyal Scottie and a adorable Shitzu that keep me busy but I defiantly have time for your four legged friend. I have been a dog lover for some time so this job seems pretty natural for me. I will give your pooch lots of loving care and attention along with walks and exercise. I have a fenced area that is currently filled with a veggie garden but there are plenty of room for a stay for your pooch. My home is clean and my dogs are well taken care of. You can rest assured that your fur baby will be happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule and try to keep my colander updated. I can be book at last minute most time but not all times. I do try to keep environment clean and pet safe. I respect other people property and privacy and you can trust me to do a good job!

About: I have two dogs of my own who love I take on daily hikes and walks and would love other doggos to hangout with us! We love to bike and hike in the summers and ski and snowshoe in the winters. I’m currently a student so I have most of my classes remotely so I am home most of the day to hangout with the pups! I have 2 crates if needed and walking trails nearby. Please let me know if there is anything you need to accommodate your animals needs.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

“Very dependable!!! Punctual!! Volunteer Fire fighter experienced! Very good in communication. Made through below zero weather days while we were gone with no issue!!! Very satisfied!!!”


“Oriana did an amazing job with my curious pups! She gave them plenty of time to find the perfect spot to do their business as well as sniff every other blade of grass in the vicinity. She gave them good love and their treat. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!

About: Hi! I’m Angela :) a nursing student with a lifelong love for dogs. I’ve grown up around them and currently have two of my own, Sophie and Cooper, who are truly part of the family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. With my flexible schedule, I’m committed to providing consistent, high quality care. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of routines, and always happy to send updates so you can feel at ease. 😺🐶Your dog’s well being is my top priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I schedule dedicated time for walks, playtime, and feeding to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my client's home, I focus on providing personalized care based on the pet's needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up showing horses and cattle. I currently have Scottish highland cows, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients. I love animals more than people most days. :) Being around any kind of animal is my happy place. When in college, I worked for Apple Creek Kennel in Marion, IA. I’m very approachable and easy to talk to. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I will work with you if price or schedule doesn’t line up. I work from home MOST days. If I’m not home, I’m usually not too far away. I make my own schedule so I’m able to be somewhat flexible. I’m a crop insurance adjuster full time and usually the busiest times of the year for me are around planting (May-June) and harvest (Sept-Dec). Please be mindful about how far apart we live. If we do live 20+ miles apart and you need me to care for your pet 4 times a day, that’s a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of driving time and gas for that day, on top of my full time job. I do my best not to over-commit myself and I am very upfront and honest about my schedule for the time frames requested. My full time job takes priority but I will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet(s) if my schedule allows. 🥰 I have a 5ft fenced yard. I will care for your animals specifically as I’m told and will do what is safest and most secure for your animal.

“Hello, my name is Eufraisa Tecuapetla. My sister Jennifer has helped me over the last three years in taking care of my boy Chapo. Chapo is a Rottweiler mixed with Lab and he can be a handful. But Jennifer has done a great job in keeping me stress free by making sure he is well fed, well groomed, safe and loved. She is a very generous and life saver, there was a couple of times where I had to come him extremely late from work but she kept Chapo in her home safe until I could be with him. Another time would be when my dog had a terrible ear infection and she took the time to take him to the vet and made sure he could get better. I would highly recommend her with taking care of your little fur baby! Thanks!”
