About: I have taken care of other peoples pets since I was a teenager. I have done drop ins and over night care for dogs and cats! I know fur babies are family and I take very good care of them. I have two dogs and four cats of my own! I would love the chance to let your pet get out and potty/stretch during the day or evening while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a lot of free time during the week as well as weekends. I can be available during the times of 8:30am-7:30pm or additional times if needed! I can let your dogs out to play and potty in your yard, if you don’t have a fenced in area I can put them on a leash and walk them. I can accommodate most things, just let me know your needs!

About: From terrier temperaments to retriever antics; high prey drive; fear aggression or strong willed; I have the knowledge to care and work with your dog or equine/ livestock. Can handle puppies to geriatrics. Able to play/reward puppies to gentle care for elders. If I pet sit for you, I ensure your dog is walked and played with to release energy as well as taking care of your home; collecting mail/ packages and keeping everything tidy! FYI, I don’t walk 2 large dogs at once- only 1 at a time. Also, rover doesn’t allow me to differentiate service radius between house sitting and drop-ins; hence, if a drop-in request is beyond 13 miles, the mileage and gas isn’t compensated by my drop-in fee. I showed AKC confirmation from 1994-2014; managed a 50-dog kennel in the 90s; and also have 13 years as a legal secretary. In my youth, I showed horses and French lop rabbits. I showed, trained and bred top winning American Stafforshire Terriers and Chesapeake bay retrievers. I did 22 AKC champions. Available days and/or nights. I am retired and have time available. Happy to pop in for check ups, walks, feeding as well as spending nights and taking care of your home. I care for any pet in accordance to the guardians exact wishes. I’m experienced to know when an animal is unhappy, ill, needs to potty/rest/bored-play. My world revolves around making animals happy content

“Megin was wonderful with our schnauzers. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!! Thank you Megin for a restful vacation because we knew our pups were in good hands”

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I love being outside and seeing happy dogs on walks! I grew up with a dog that I loved dearly, and enjoyed nothing more than spending time inside and outside with him! Since his passing, I have gotten a little over a year of experience petsitting and dog-walking, and am looking to expand and help more families keep their fur babies happy! Whether that be by dropping by for a walk and some tummy rubs, or hanging out while you’re on vacation, I am ready and excited to help out! I’m a high energy person who loves playing with and caring for dogs; please contact me if you think I could be a good pet for your best friend! I have also become a big cat person in my personal life! I have cats of my own and I love them very much. They both have some minor medical conditions that require prescription feeding and monitoring, so I am used to sensitive kitties who need a little extra love. I would love to help care for cats in the area, so other cat people can travel and vacation and have time away from home knowing that their furbaby is well cared for and loved in their absence! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am available throughout the day for feeding, walking, playing, and relaxing with your pets! I am very detail oriented and can ensure that the care your pet receives from me mimics the care they receive from you, to keep your furbaby comfortable and relaxed while you're away!

About: I raised two Boston Terrier sisters from pups to senior dogs. I'm familiar, comfortable, and prefer the sheduele that a pet dog(s) requires. As well, I've rescued several stray dogs that were later adopted into loving families or relocated to their home. I am passionate about the safety, care, and basic needs of each pet with intentions to exceed expectations above and beyond. I only work part time, majorly during the morning hours; therefore, I'll have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to care for your pet! Also, I have complete open availability during the weekends. I would love to spend my free time getting to know and love your pet! I have a massive yard for pet play with plenty of grass, trees, and free range to roam. Although I have three cats, they are all indoor and outdoor which works perfectly depending on your pet's own personal needs regarding other animals too. Most importantly, your pet would be in a quiet and loving environment surrounded by nature.

“I recently used Larrissa to walk my dogs , and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the first interaction, it was clear they were professional and passionate about pets. **Communication:** They were very responsive to my inquiries and took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and routines. Even assisted me with using this app for the first. **Reliability:** My dog walker was always on time and even provided updates and pictures during walks, which made me feel reassured. **Care for My Dog:** My puppy dog, Banks is still getting to everything, but Larrissa handled him wonderfully. He came back happy and tired after the walk. I am watching the dogs now just snoozing on the cameras. **Flexibility:** They offered flexible scheduling options, accommodating my last-minute changes wit. Overall, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend”

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer!

I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

“Jasmine took the job on short notice and was so sweet with our pup. She left detailed feedback so I didn’t have to wonder and even took the extra effort to bring in a package from the front porch.”

I have entered into Prisons, Jails, Schools, Busch Gardens, Marathons, NFL Games, concerts, etc to conduct Narcotic and Explosive detection for the communities!

I have taken my canines to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, Nee Jersey, New York and Texas for work purposes! Pet Care has a special slot of all the time, 24/7 routine, it is the most valuable part of the animal industry we are in. Pets are family members that don’t have the voice to communicate but the brain that will remember everything from trauma to the love. Pets are protected more than one way around me.

About: I've always had an affinity with every animal I encounter. I love all animals and personally can't have pets due to allergies of family members. So I share my love with your loved ones while you are on vacation. And yes I will sit and have a conversation with the fish so they don't get lonely as well. I've cared for a few neighbors dogs the past year and have fallen in love with them all and want to continue helping out those who need a trusted person to watch your furry or non furry loved ones. I'm currently unemployed and am needing to fill in gaps in my schedule between doctor appointments and kids activities. I'm available morning, afternoon and evening. I wish I could watch pets in my home but I will need to be the sitter in your home as we don't have a fenced yard or pet friendly home at the moment. I love to take dogs for walks, or just let them outside and play with them, then come inside for treats and snuggles before I leave.

I follow each pet’s routine closely - whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles. I keep things clean, calm, and always make sure your pet feels safe and loved.
