Jeanine doesn’t just care for dogs—she genuinely loves them. She approaches every dog with patience, gentleness, and respect, treating each one as if they were her own.

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and early evening, and I build my commitments around the needs of the pets I care for. Whether a dog needs a consistent daily walk, occasional drop‑ins, or extra time and attention, I’m able to adjust accordingly. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making space for it in my routine is simple and life‑giving. Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is always hands‑on, attentive, and rooted in genuine love for the canine. My own dog is my “fur child,” so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, seen, and included. At home, we play ball, go for walks, I home‑cook her meals, groom her, and she sleeps right beside me. She’s part of my daily life and activities. That same level of care, intuition, and presence carries into every client’s home. I respect each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, and I make sure they feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s following feeding instructions, maintaining training habits, or simply offering companionship and affection, I provide a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can relax and thrive. My goal is always to treat your dog with the same love and attentiveness I give my own.

About: I have had Pers my whole life, and I am a very well - versed person when it comes to dogs. I constantly watch people’s dogs / walk them when needed. Especially during summertimes. I am good with taking care of older dogs and walking at their pace. I am currently home from school for the summertime, I am taking classes in the meantime but I love to spend time with nature. Dogsitting fits into my schedule because I like to get up early and take care of my priorities and I count animals as one of them I value pets the same way, if not more, to other people. I see pets as another me, and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them because i set such a high value for them. I think pets are one of the best things in our lives, and I wouldn’t want anything to harm that.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

“Amazing how they took care of Cali. I appreciate them. Thank you”

About: I have owned and sat dogs since I was a kid, and have always had such a love for them. I have 2 rescues of my own! Dogs really are man’s best friend! I work full time in a preschool and am off all summer! I’m available Monday-Friday 8am-5:00pm! And can make adjustments to fit your schedule if need be! I can do whatever fits your needs, wether that be playing in a backyard/fenced in backyard, walks, dog park, playing some fetch or just popping in for some food and treats!

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

About: I have worked as a pet boarder and sitter on Rover for about a year. Having previously worked as a certified nursing assistant, I have experience as a caregiver, and one of my greatest passions is caring for pets. Dogs and cats are members of a family, and it is so important to care for them as you would any other family member. I have several years of experience boarding dogs for their owners when they have been on vacation, and have also cared for my own animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience as an animal transporter for West Hancock canine rescue, in which I would work with a team to take dogs and cats from high kill shelters to foster homes or rescues. I also have a wonderful dog I rescued, Ollie, who is friendly and likes to play with other dogs at times. I’m working part-time so have time to play with pups! And our family loves animals, so it’s a great fit for us to pet sit, and we like providing a home environment for owners who need to travel. I provide a calm, safe and fun environment for pets to play. Provide walks and let pets out regularly. I believe it’s important to attend to all feeding and medication needs as a high priority.

“Taylor provided daily care for my 2 cats while we were on vacation. The care was outstanding with feeding cleaning and cat interaction sending daily updates . I would use Taylor again and would highly recommend her . Thank you Taylor”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.

About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”

About: I’ve been blessed to be a dad to three Labrador Retrievers and they’ve instilled a great sense of love and caring for all dogs. And I’m ready to care for yours with Drop-Ins & Walks. I want my pups to receive warm, focused care and attention, and that’s exactly what your family member will receive. So, if you need help during your work day or don’t want to rush home from an evening out, I’m here to help. I stepped away from Rover the past two years & I’m excited to be back! I work out of my home and have a flexible schedule. So I can take care of your dogs and walk them based on your needs and theirs. Whatever your (and your dog’s) needs are, I’m happy to meet them. Whether it’s a drop-in visit and/or walk, I’ll make sure your dog is happy, safe and well taken care of. And you won’t have to worry one bit about your family member.

“Erin did an amazing job watching my 3 pets over 4 days. I got pictures after every visit and a report on them as well. I was very happy with her care and highly recommend her!!”
