About: Experienced, Loving Pet Care From a Lifelong Animal Lover! Hi! My name is Mariah, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young child. Growing up, I helped my mom with dog sitting, and I quickly developed a deep love and understanding of animals. Over the years, I've gained a wealth of experience through Rover and have had the pleasure of caring for a variety of dogs—each with their own unique personality and needs. I truly love all animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. From playful pups to senior dogs, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m dedicated to providing your furry friend with the best care, whether it’s through daily walks, cuddle time, or fun outdoor adventures! If you’re looking for someone who’s experienced, trustworthy, and passionate about animals, I’d be honored to care for your pets while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I currently have very open availability and a flexible schedule! I’ll be happy to meet with you and your furry friend whenever works best for your household. When pet sitting in a clients home I try to be in one place as much as possible, I only enter the rooms I absolutely need to to care for your pet and keep them comfortable!

“Anna is such a wonderful, reliable sitter! Our dogs love her so much they whine when she leaves, and she is often available at difficult times to save us in a pinch! We can't wait to have her over again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the last nine years. I don’t have lots of cat experience, only through friends. I have lots of knowledge! I am currently working off hours in plumbing, so I am available during the day some days on the weekdays and during the afternoon after 4 on working days and full time weekends. I will follow rules and boundaries that you have for you pet. If you have a special diet, specific schedule and or any other needs.

About: My pet care experience has seen be learn a number of skills such as monitoring your pets behavior to understand when a social situation may become too stressful. Other skills I have acquired are following directions for specific diets, seeing through that each pet gets exactly what their owners ask for. I have also gained experience in grooming as well. Right now, I can work any day of the week, Monday through Friday, and as for times I am very flexible, I can start as early as you need and keep your pet until whenever you want! I am very attentive when it comes to pets. With my previous work experience, it was necessary for me to stay alert, as to make sure no pets ended up harming each other, or to make sure they weren’t doing something they’re not supposed to.

“Margaret took such great care of our cats, she is wonderful. She is so sweet, very caring and I hope she will take care of Olive and Otis again next time we go away! I highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had dogs and cats throughout my life. As an adult, I’ve had three dogs, myself five cats and many other poor legged friends. I enjoy being around animals very much they bring me such joy. Everyone calls me the pet whisperer because every animal I meet just loves me and I love them. I’m always helping my friends and neighbors when they need there animals taken care of while they are away. I have just currently quit my job of 21 years and wanted to do something that would make me happy on a daily basis so I decided to start taking care of animals when people need it. I get to play with many different types of furry friends along with keeping active and making my own schedule. Depending on what’s needed, I would treat all the animals like I would treat my own. Keeping them safe and loved and getting their exercise needs in.

“Was very patient with Sadie, who can be wary of strangers. Was able to be adaptable and help get her situated. Asked good questions, and was very caring.”

“It was fantastic to meet Ani and we felt extremely comfortable with leaving our senior and rather needy pair of cats in her care while we were away. Ani super patiently reviewed all of their details with us in advance and clearly showed that she has lots of experience working with animals with special needs/medical issues. On the actual day of the drop-in, Ani was super communicative, gave us lots of details about how everything was going, managed complex feeding instructions with ease, and sent us a bunch of awesome photos, many of which are now in the favorites rotation on our phones. We definitely plan to reach out to Ani again in the future!”

Danielle K.

“Such great service! Great with all three of our dogs and super communicative! Will be using again for sure!”

About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and my family and I have two of our own. I’ve also taken care of pets for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I run my own business and am home most of the time. I plan my day around visits so each pet gets steady attention. I care for pets by following their normal routines, paying close attention to their behavior, and keeping their environment calm and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe and relaxed.

“Wendy is a cat lover, and gives loving care to all of the animals in her care. My kitties had plenty of food,water, and treats! Wendy went above and beyond what was expected ---- even kitty chin rubs and photos with messages every day. Also, the litter box was spotless! I would give her an A+. We don't travel often, but when we do, I'd have Wendy again. 😉”

“Zachary took care of our pup Crumbs during the day while we were at work. He was always on time, communicative, and extremely attentive with Crumbs during their visits. Zachary made sure to play with Crumbs and get him exercise outside which we greatly appreciated! We felt extremely comfortable having Zachary take care of him - he is a very trustworthy sitter and we would reach out to him again anytime.”

“Meaghan loves my Archie and treats him as her own. She bakes the best treats and he gobbles them up! She takes such good care of him that I’m blessed to have her as a sitter. (She even removed a tick she found! Now that’s dedication!)”

About: Please read through my profile before reaching out to make sure we sound like the perfect fit. I require a meet and greet for all new clients! Sometimes it’s hard to find time between kids/dogs/life so I recommend reaching out as early as possible. I think it’s very important to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking! Hi! My name is Jenn and I am a stay at home mom with two daughters. I want to share a little about our family and what your pup can expect during a stay in our home! Leaving our beloved pets in the care of someone else can be stressful. I have definitely shed a few tears when leaving my dogs in the care of someone else! I take this into account when caring for someone else’s pet. Your dog will receive a warm and happy welcome into our home as I treat each and every doggy guest exactly how I expected my dogs to be treated. Take comfort in knowing that I will care of your dogs as if they were my own. They will receive as much love and attention as they want or need. I am home most of the day with the exception of a few dogs walks and driving my children to their activities. My husband works remotely and is typically home during the day. Your pup will never be left alone for extended periods of time. We have two daughters aged 11 and 8 who are dog lovers and big helpers! They share a love of animals with their Mama. There are a few important details to read over. I love all dogs but not all dogs are the perfect fit for our home and vice versa. Please read below. 1. Your dog MUST like children. As previously mentioned I have two daughters who are excited to snuggle and love your dog! If your pup isn’t a fan of kids then our home will not be a good fit. 2. Your dog MUST like dogs. We have a resident dog and often have a boarder or two. If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs then our home will not be a good fit. 3. I require a meet and greet before any stay. I want you to feel at ease when leaving your dog in my care. 4. I only accept potty trained dogs and offer many potty breaks/walks throughout the day. If your dog is a marker then they will not be allowed to roam free in our home and I will need to use a belly band. I take pride in our home and want it to stay clean and comfortable for my family and our doggy guests. Accidents happen but consistent marking is not ok. If use of a belly band/doggie diaper is necessary I will of course let you know. 5. Crate trained dogs only. By this I mean no barking or excessive whining . My husband works from home and is on calls during the day and we have children that need to sleep! If your dog is not crate trained and barks/whines someone will be called to pick you dog up! I have had people lie before which is why I am a stickler! Thanks for understanding! 6. We DO NOT have a fenced in back yard. We take take the dogs on frequent walks and and they get many potty breaks throughout the day! My husband loves hiking and enjoys taking the dogs on his adventures. The dogs play with one another and my girls love engaging the pups in play! You may end up with a picture of your dog dressed in a princess dress or attending a tea party. 7. Please make sure your dog is utd on all shots and flea/tick prevention. If you can send me copies of their vaccination records that is most helpful. 8. Please take note that my holiday rates are higher than my nightly rates. I fill up quickly for holidays as I only take 1-2 dogs over major holidays. 9. I’m flexible with pick up and drop off times and will ask the day before or day of for an estimated time of arrival. I have found it’s easier on the dogs if drop off is earlier in the day. That way they can spend time acclimating to our family. Promptness is appreciated and I cannot wait around for you. 10. Excessive barkers need not apply! Occasionally barking at delivery people is expected but constant barking isn’t acceptable. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I want your dog to be comfortable in our home. We truly enjoy spending time with all different dogs and they will love being with us! I’m am fortunate to be a SAHM and have all the time in the world to spend with your dog. We typically feed the dogs breakfast and give them their first potty break around 6:30/7:00 AM. We will take a morning/early afternoon walk and then have dinner around 5:30/6:00. The last potty break around 10:00/10:30 then off to bed! Potty breaks and additional walks are offered throughout the day as needed. Your dog will be loved, snuggled, payed with, walked, and tired out at the end of everyday. I will send you videos and pictures and you can call/message whenever you want!

“Maeve took wonderful care of my cat while I was away! She was very professional, prompt, and provided great photos of the fun they had together. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for cat care in the future!”

About: My mother does dog rescue and I have helped her care for all kinds of dogs over the past 6 years and while I was growing up. We currently have 5 dogs of our own and they get along with other dogs. We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of area to play. We also have an indoor mini Kennel so we can keep your dogs safe if they don't do well with others. You furbaby will be safe to Rome in the big fenced in yard with our playful dogs or alone if preferred. I have a flexible schedule and can exercise them multiple times throughout the day. Can also administer meds if needed. We also have other dogs in the house who could play with your dog, or if your dog wouldn't want to play, we can keep separate. For walks I am available from 1030am-630pm. TUE.FRI.SAT.and SUN. 330pm.-630pm. MON. WED. and THUR. my daughter would be most likely to join weekdays after 230. And weekends. She will join during the day on weekdays during school breaks. Your dog would sleep in my room and would play with me in our large fenced back yard. I have an 8 yr old daughter who loves dogs and will also love to play with your dog. She knows how to be around all types of dogs as she grew up with countless fosters, any where from having extreme separation anxiety, to very jumpy and playful. She will always be supervised with your furbaby!
