I am responsible and will make sure no danger befalls your beloved furry friend. I may not always available because I go to school and work 2 jobs but I can guarantee you I will be available for your needs at sometime during the day. I will make time for you if not then I will make sure I find a reasonable day and my pricing is great. If I’m chilling at your house with the dog I’ll bring a movie to make sure both of us stay occupied during the stay. Don’t be afraid to call! You might end up being the best decision you ever made. I am currently working throughout the day, but if we schedule and agree on something before hand I will commit to that and make sure I am available for you and your pet. I can not take pets into my home but am able to check up on them in your home and I am able to take them for walks if that is what you prefer.

About: Pet care experience Hi there! While I may not have a dog of my own, I've had the joy of caring for a dear French bulldog annually for almost two weeks each year. I adore playing with my sister's dogs and live in a cozy home filled with the laughter of my three dog-loving kids. I'm always available to walk, cuddle, and shower your furry friend with love and attention. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me! I'll treat them with the same love, care, and attention that I've given to countless other dogs. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Let me be your dog's caregiver, and they'll receive all the cuddles, playtime, and care they need. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶💕 Welcome! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our three wonderful kids. Though I never had a dog, my love for animals is evident through my adorable rabbit named Kruger. Nestled in a house with a spacious yard on a tranquil street, I offer a peaceful environment for your furry friend. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends off. I'm back home by 3 PM every day, ensuring your pet is surrounded by care and attention. Living on a serene and quiet street with minimal traffic, I provide an ideal haven for your beloved dog. My spacious yard offers ample room for them to play, explore, and stretch their legs. With a peaceful environment and plenty of outdoor space, your pup will receive the utmost care, attention, and room to roam freely in a secure and comforting setting. I can easily crate your dog if needed (and provided)

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Jane. I’ve been caring for dogs in their own homes for 10 years and I can honestly say, I love what I do. There’s something really special about a dog who barely notices their owner left because they’re too busy having a good time. I enjoy leaving clients to wonder if I even stayed — everything is just as they left it, with one exception: a happier pet. I specialize in walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, all in the comfort of your pet’s own home. I learn their routine, respect their quirks, and treat your space the way I’d want someone to treat mine. You’ll hear from me regularly with updates, photos, and videos of your dear girl or sweet boi. If you like the mundane, you’ll hear from us — me and your dog (or cat, or gerbil, or boa python — we’re all inclusive here). If you’d love to see the reasons strangers fall for your sweet girlie or darling boi, you’ll definitely hear from me while your loved one is in my care. Once you reach out, I’ll schedule a complimentary meet and greet to make sure me and your special four-legged loved one are a good match. Spoiler: we usually are. 🐾 🐾 Providing care for your loved one is built into my week, not mushed into it. Available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. 🐾 🐾 This is where the complimentary meet and greet pays off for you. Because we’ve spoken ahead of time, it’s even easier for me to keep your pet on their usual routine, respect your home, and stay in consistent communication so you always know your dog is doing well. There are legends abound of me leaving my client’s place a little cleaner than I found it too. 🐾

“Alec is very punctual, kept me informed and answered all of my questions. Most importantly, my dog was very comfortable with Alec. Highly recommend.”

“Michael was great. He kept communication clear and let us know how the dogs were doing. We have two huge boys who are pretty much lap dogs. He handled them gracefully. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for family and friends since my late twenties. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. For many years I lived and cared for a paralyzed pug who never let his special needs stop him from living a happy life. He used a wheelchair, went on long stroller walks, participated in dog walks and events, took both oral and injected medications regularly and had to have his bladder expressed. Each new health issue was just another learning experience. I have since been certified in pet first aid and never shy away from caring for a pet with special health needs. I am currently working full time and can provide pet boarding only on weekends since I’m not home during the weekday until the evening. Dog Walking and drop-ins I am available weekends as well and evenings M-F I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of my own right now so your pets will get lots of attention and can relax freely.. I don’t have a yard but can easily walk your dog around my quiet neighborhood where there are plenty of parks and dog parks we can go to for exercise. I love going on walks and being outside so if your pet is up for it there is plenty of opportunity for exercise and exploring.

About: I have been helping my sister with this for a while, trying the app on my own! I also have been taking care of animals since I was a young one, my household was always filled with animals from fur babies to reptiles to fish. However, I didn't just grow up with pets, I learned how to bond with them and really understand what it means to care for an animal. From playful to shy, I meet every animal where they are at and give them the love and attention. I also have experience working with animals from my time spent working at a pet store. I am reliable, communicative, and treat every pal like family. Rest assured your pal is in safe hands! I have open availability. Caring for animals is a peaceful part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks or check ins, I make time for them. For me, spending time with animals keeps me grounded and joyful. It's more than a job, it something I look forward to day to day. My home is calm, clean, and filled with love - pets settle in pretty easily after the owner departs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, so your pal feels safe and secure. Whether they are here long term or just overnight every pal gets treated with 10/10 care!

About: I've always loved dogs since I was little but never actually had one. On a drive up to my dad's job, is when my birthday wishes had finally come true. My dad and I had rescued my dog, Ebby, from a busy nearby highway and since that day my love for dogs has grown even more. All I've ever wanted to do was make them as happy as they made me. I've owned my dog for nearly 10 years now and our bond is still strong, even after my four years spent up at college. I look forward to walking a bunch of dogs using this Rover app and I am also willing to take them on little runs if it's okay with the owners!

“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”
