About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.

About: I was on a farm most of my life, I’ve cared for many types of animals. I love animals and if you need someone to stop by and care for yours I would like to be considered to help out I work from home and my job is very flexible I can stop by to visit your pet and feed and or walk them. Like to meet them I have a little dog and a cat. I can only walk dogs on a leash at my home. I am more than willing to come take your pets out at your home and water and feed them.

“Amazing service. She came out to meet my dog prior to the first walk I booked, and was very polite. professional, and thorough with her questions. I felt very confident in her abilities- and let’s be real, we are all a little nervous leaving our pets in the care of strangers, especially for the first time. She was also very flexible when some last minute things popped up and I needed her help with the pup on very short notice. 10/10.”


“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a kid and currently have two of my own—both well-behaved and trained beyond just basic obedience, including fun tricks to keep them engaged. My full-time job keeps me surrounded by dogs who come in and out of the office. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, puppy care and canine nutrition, ensuring every pup in my care gets the best possible attention. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me hiking with my dogs or planning our next dog-friendly adventure. I don’t have human kids, but my dogs are my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too! I currently have a full time job that I work 4 days a week so I’m available 3 days a week - Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. I will abide by the owners preference on letting their dog out as I understand everyone has their own way of handling this. If their yard is fenced and a simple open the door and go - that’s a plus but more than happy to put the leash on and go around!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and knew I always wanted to work with them. I’ve always cared for the pets I had growing up which included dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I then started watching friends and family members dogs and cats when they were away. One of my first jobs was at a boarding facility where I cared for and walked dogs! I have a flexible schedule due to the fact that I am home everyday caring for my 2 year old son! I would love to bring him along for walks and drop ins! My dog gets walked everyday followed by a relaxing rest stop by the river in our backyard! We love to be outdoors as much as possible!

I have experience of my own pets as well as I have taken care of many other pets. I will make sure your pet is taken care with the upmost importance leaving you with a worry free mindset. **Rates may be changed if needed** Im currently working part-time but will definitely have time to walk, play, or even train your dogs. If I am free, I will definately help out as best as I can.

About: I've always cared for animals my entire life. I've cared for animals big and small and that includes administering medicine, when needed. I also worked as a wildlife rehabilitator for a bit which gave me a wide variety of experience with all different species. I currently work full time on weekdays but have flexibility to walk dogs in the early morning, during the lunch hour, and in the evening.

About: I have always loved animals and growing up, I lived with cats. I have owned a variety of pets such as hamsters, fish, hermit crabs and taken care of my neighbors' dogs. I take pride in the level of excellent care of my pets (even as a child!) and always research the best food, practices, toys and other aspects of their care so they are living their best life with me. I was always a responsible child growing up and took pet parenting quite seriously. I was attached to all my pets and would prioritize their needs as a good pet owner. Growing up, I would also pet sit my neighbors' dogs by playing with them, feeding them and cleaning up after them. As a fitness enthusiast, I love taking dogs for walks! I currently work from home during the week and am flexible with timing for visits. I am available on weekends as well as holidays as long as I am made aware ahead of time. I appreciate any timing flexibility for visits when considering working with me since I do have other responsibilities. If you know me personally, you would know I am a huge animal lover and am obsessed with my cats. They mean the world to me and as someone who loves her cats as her family, I will treat your fur baby with the utmost respect, love and best care possible. I understand entrusting someone else to care for your fur baby is a big responsibility and I would be honored to do that for you. I will write down all of your instructions, pay close attention to details of your pets' specific needs, tend to their needs during their visit, give them love, clean up after them, feed them, and will try to keep your pets' routines as closely as possible so it is smooth and stress free for them. I know what it is like to go on vacation and how disruptive it can be for your pet. As owners, we worry about their wellbeing and that is a top concern for me as a pet sitter. I am here to comfort, soothe and make your absence less uncomfortable for them. As a dog walker, I will pay the utmost attention to my surroundings, clean up after them and keep them safe away from any potential threats. I take this role quite seriously as your pet is your loved one and I would want mine to be treated in the same manner.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. All types of dogs. I treat care of my friends and family’s dogs if needed they left for vacation. Starting September 3 I go back to community college. On Monday's and Wednesdays after 4 I am available. Tuesday and Thursdays after 12 I am available. I would take the dog(s) for a walk. I love walks. Give them treats if allowed. Feed them, bathe them if needed. Give them my love.
