“Brian is an amazing dog sitter! Our dogs were comfortable with him the second they met him. He was consistently on time to feed and walk the boys and always sent a quick summary and pictures to hold us over until we could get back home to them. We will definitely be asking Brian to watch our dogs again in the future!”

About: I am an animal lover! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am not here for the money but for your babies to have a great experience while you are away. Have had dogs and cats for most of my adulthood. After my last furbaby passed, I decided instead of getting another one, I would share my love with other people's fur babies. I would love to take care of your 4-legged family members and treat your babies as my own. My love and care are endless. I can stay and play with your beloved furbabies all day 7 days a week. Since I work from home, your cat/dog is guaranteed to have companionship around the clock, and I believe dogs and cats are happiest when humans accompany them and show them affection, and play with them. I do prefer your child/dog/cat to come with his/her own food because it's one less thing for them to adjust. I do however have treats and dog food if needed. I will adhere to your instructions to administer food and/or medicine. I work from home currently. So I should be around your fur babies 24/7 except for grocery or eating out when pets are boarding with me or house-sitting for you. I go to Church on Sunday mornings if the stay goes on Sunday. If you need me to drop in at your place or walk your dog, they can be arranged multiple times a day. I don't have pets or children so no worries about your fur friend fitting in. I will attend to your furball without distractions since I only take a single furbaby each time. I live next to a man-made lake, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, I always walk dogs around our neighboring park. So, no accidents should ever happen in this household indoors or outdoors. If I care for your babies at your place, I always respect your property and leave the house in great shape.

About: I have taken care animals of all kinds. I grew up having dogs of all sizes and now have a bearded dragon, fish, and doodle. I have taken training classes for my doodle and learned the importance of love and boundaries. I have rescued animals, cared for kitten litters, and helped raise puppy’s of my own and friends and family. I am currently a graduate student and social worker. I work hybrid from home and at the office 2 days a week. I am able to do drop ins no problem as I am used to running around the county. At home I take my pets on walks and I am able to pet sit during the day on weekends. At the clients home I’ll follow your wishes to keep the pet on the same routine as much as possible. If you take walks, then we take walks! If you let them run around the yard then we’re playing in the backyard!

About: With four years of dog-sitting experience, I've cared for all breeds and sizes, from playful Dachshunds to gentle Great Danes. As a pet owner myself, with a lovable Springer Spaniel/Doodle mix and a grey-haired cat, I understand the unique needs of every pet. Whether it's a small lap dog or a large breed, I provide attentive care and ensure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away. I am currently enrolled in college as a flight student. With this, I am typically busy periodically throughout out the week, and in the morning. My schedule varies with the day, but I am mostly free on for nights and periodically through out the day! I will always monitor your pet and ensure no harm can come to them in any way. I will remain diligent and always keep your pets safety as a top priority.

About: Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses instilled in me a deep passion for animal care. Since age 10, I've been entrusted with caring for neighbors' dogs independently, demonstrating my reliability and responsibility. My experience with senior cats taught me the critical importance of adhering to specific pet needs and owner instructions. I'm dedicated to understanding animal behavior and care, continually expanding my knowledge through veterinary resources and online courses. My priority is your pet's well-being. I offer patient, consistent care, adapting to each animal's unique personality and needs, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I understand the peace of mind you seek when entrusting your pet to someone else, and I provide prompt communication and attentive care to ensure their happiness and safety. My experience extends to horses, demonstrating my comfort with animals of all sizes. I'm available seven days a week, offering flexible scheduling for exercise, supervision, and more. Your specific care instructions are most important, and I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for your pet. With no other pets or children at home, your animal receives my undivided attention. My background as a carpenter's assistant has honed my respect for clients' homes and rules while they are away. You're welcome to check in on your pet anytime, knowing their needs are my top concern. Note: Drop-in visits are tailored to your pet's needs and will not exceed 30 minutes. Your pets care is my priority and I will be available 7 days a week most weeks. Whether your pet needs exercise while you work, or supervision while you're on a weekend vacation, contact me and we can figure out the best schedule for you and your pet. Your instructions for care always come first. Whether your dog just needs a friendly, motivated individual to help them expel some energy, or you're nervous to leave them alone and have special requests, you know what's best for your pet. I do not have any other dogs, small animals, or children in the house so your pet will take priority in all situations to make the most of a new environment. Working as a carpenters assistant for years, I have been trusted in the home's of customers while they are away, and have full respect for house rules and homeowner instructions. You can check in with your pet anytime they are in my care, and breathe easy knowing their needs always come first.

About: *Rover Affiliate since Sept 2014* *Rover recently raised it's fees it takes from us. I raised my fee by $3* Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I feel I have a calm presence about me and my home reflects that, however, fun is to be had here! Bring toys and treats. We will go on walks, play, and maybe stop at a dog friendly cafe. I especially like trail walking at a park or going to the dog beach. I mostly work from home and I also work a few hours a week for a dog wellness company. I only board dogs from one owner at a time, so all my attention goes to your furbabies. Safety is a big concern. No need to worry about fights with other dogs, transmissable viruses, or having small children around. If your dog can not be around ANY other pets in public, that's ok too. I'm also very attentive when it comes to dispensing daily medication. A little about me: As a small child, I grew up with a German shepherd named Yenta. As a pre teen, after asking many times, we welcomed a mixed shepherd/husky into our family. I mulled over names for such a long time - Bandit because I had a cat named Smokey- somehow we all agreed on the name "Ralphy"...funny! I have not owned a dog, aside from when I lived with my family growing up. I don't feel that I can make that commitment just yet. I believe most dogs should be outdoors often and run off their endless energy. Lap dogs or elder dogs have different priorities, of course. I have a natural affection towards animals. Partnering with Rover allows me to enjoy your dogs but not have the commitment of having one. Big, small, come one, come all! My world does not just revolve around dogs! I also enjoyed having cats around my childhood home. They certainly are uniquely different from dogs. I cared for eight cats for a few months in a big, old home in Philadelphia in 2014. It was interesting to observe them interacting together, as they are not "pack animals." About this sitter: I'm an animal lover and enjoy being out in nature…so that means your dog WILL get walked a lot. I'm a responsible person that has your dog's best interest always in mind. Why I love dog sitting: I enjoy having different breeds of dogs visit me and giving them a home away from home. They very often become my protector within the first day. You the owner may be going on vacation, but they will certainly have one too! They really are like people with their different personalities and habits. Since I am not a dog owner, it's a blessing to be trusted to enjoy their love and company. Thank you I'm self employed, spend lots of time at home, and I work a few hours a week for a dog wellness company . I have a very flexible schedule, so I can put your fur baby first. I love to be out and about, so that means your dog gets to come too! I follow the client's home instructions to a tee. The safety, care, and well being of your fur baby is top priority. Xx xx xx
