About: I've taken care of large and small animals all my life, I grew up taking care of my aunt's horses with her, and I've pet sat and house sat for the past couple of years and have been very successful. I can only do this during the summer though because I am a current college student. I am currently looking for a part-time job, I will always be available on the weekends and I should be available in the mornings and late mornings almost every day. I have a big fenced-in backyard, and I own two friendly dogs and an indoor-outdoor cat that stays away from most people and other dogs who come to visit so there is no worry about him if you're worried about your animal around cats.

5. Kassie K.
About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 3 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 1 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together. I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.


6. Caira B.
About: I have taken care of every kind of animal since I was 12. Goats, dogs, pigs, horses, you name it! I just can not get enough animals in my life. I was also a dog groomer in the past! I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to love on your pet and give them the quality time they deserve and need. I am always cautious and sure to keep your pet or pets safe by listening to instructions you have or using instinct I have gained from experience.

8. Angelica S.
About: Hello! I am a work from home professional who has many years of pet boarding experience. I offer a safe, reliable environment with exceptional pet care services in my home. It is my everyday routine and life. Pets are simply family, a stress reliever and a joy to be around. Attention to detail is very important. I cater specially to their needs, provide a loving/stimulating environment, and am consistent with communication with the pet owners. I treat each pet as if they’re my own.


9. Aisha A.
About: I've owned dogs my whole life, I know the pain of loosing a furry companion. But all of that learning in my life has taught me that we don't deserve pets, they love us, unconditionally. So let's do the same! I am open all summer! I can definitely make time overnight on the weekdays and weekends! I don't mind staying late with your pups or cats! I care for them as if they were my own, you can't force a dog to like or trust you. You have to earn that trust, once you do, it's beautiful.


10. Lucie G.
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a very rewarding experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.


11. Katlyn B.
“Katlyn is a great dog sitter. She’s responsible, she’s knowledgeable and as a dog owner herself, she knows what your dog needs. She’s responsive to the little things that are important to you. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”


12. Kristen W.

“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”


13. Ashleigh F.
“Ashleigh is very reliable and someone I wholeheartedly feel comfortable allowing in my home. She was kind enough to send photos of my pups while I was away, which made me feel even more at ease. It is apparent she is a true animal lover and I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone for this service.”


14. Leslie C.
“Leslie watched my dog (Lexi) one weekend for me while I went on vacation and couldn't take her. Lexi is my baby girl so and I needed someone I could trust to take care of her and love her since I wasn't there to do so. Leslie came over to my house and took Lexi out on walks and played fetch with her. She fed her at certain times of the day that like I asked and she even sent me pictures and videos. I know she took great care of her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or a dog walker!”




15. Adrian S.

“Adrian is a phenomenal pet sitter. I travel a lot for work and I never have to worry about leaving my dog or my house in her hands. She always keeps everything neat and tidy and my dog, Romeo, loves her. (It may be the toys she always brings him as gifts on long stays.) I started working with Adrian years ago and would gladly recommend her to anyone else in need of a sitter.”

18. Jackie B.
About: I have worked in pet care for a 9 years (Aug. 2014), and I love what I do. Providing the absolute best care for your pets is my passion, it’s not just a job to me. It is so important to ensure your pet is safe and sound while you’re away from them, and I go the extra mile to make that happen. I have a sit down with the owner to get all the information that I need and to get to know them and their pets I ask if there is anything specific I need to know such as health issues, anxiety, if they are reactive to something specific. I ask questions like do they chew, if they a runner or a climber, do they have allergies, is there a certain certain way to handle them to make them more comfortable, if they have a set schedule, how and when to feed, etc. I ask so many questions because it’s what I need to know to make sure I can properly take care of your baby. I spend time with the pet to observe behavior, movements, if they are shy or outgoing, how to react to loud noises, even their favorite treat or toy, and where they prefer to get rubs and scratches. You can tell a lot about how animal is feeling observing them. And if I have to sing them a lullaby and feed them with a spoon for them to be comfortable, then that is what I will do. I know what it’s like to have a love and deep connection with a pet, so I know how important your babies are to you. I promise I will treat your babies exactly the way I would want my baby to be treated. They deserve it. I am currently working a full-time job, with a very flexible schedule. I have a two hour window during lunch hours, I am available Most days of the week after 5 PM (I get off early one day an I get off early one day a week, )until 7 a.m. and I am available every weekend. I am able to adjust my lunch hours to accommodate your pets needs. Like I said previously, it’s important for me to get to know each pet I care for. Every pet has different needs. The care I give them, will meet each individual pet’s needs.


19. Kevonna G.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, for the past twelve years. My family has always had pets, so I was always getting hands-on experience from the puppy stage up to the senior stage. Currently, I am a college student and I take online classes, so as of right now I have a free schedule. I can do walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, as well as overnight stays. I live with my parents, and they have two dogs that I take care of while they work. We live in the country, so our yard is not fenced in. When I visit my clients' homes they usually have fenced-in yards, and their pets are normally in crates or kennels.

“Chelsea goes above and beyond in everything that she does. I have personally watched her care for her own animals and rescues animals for years now and I would trust her with any of my animals. She is an amazing person and caregiver.”
