We also understand that many dogs and puppies have special needs specific diets our home is not a place of stress . we understand that it can be a stressful situation leaving a family member with a person not well known .

About: I love dogs. I have always rented and never had an opportunity to own my own pets. Rover will give me a chance to get my pet fix in. Here in a few months I will be able to work from home 2 days a week. In the meantime, I am available mornings, during my hour lunch break, and after work during the week. I have flexible availability on the weekends. I treat clients homes how I would want my own home to be treated. I will always leave a home better than I found it. I pay close attention to detail and will go above and beyond for your pet.

About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats all of my life. I adore both of these animals and have a great bond with them. I am fresh out of college, so I'm pretty available. This is perfect for me because I can work when I can and where I can. I feed my animals of a scheduled basis and feed them portions based on the vets recommendation. I have a gated backyard where I let my dogs play and use the restroom.

About: I work in a vet clinic where animals are borders as a kennel tech and I make sure they are as comfortable as possible away from home. My working hours at my job are the same every day and it’s a two hour shift in the PM so my days are open other than that. I am comfortable walking a dog around your yard if they need to in order to do their business or sit out in a yard depending on your requests. I don’t have many things I would be uncomfortable if requested.

About: I have been a professional trainer, handler and groomer for over a decade, providing excellent care for dogs, cats and other pets of all ages, sizes and care needs. I am also available for livestock care, with over two decades of experience with horses, cattle and most other hoofstock and flocks. I offer these services full time, so no need to worry about another job conflicting with your pet’s needs while in my care. I am able to devote my schedule to them. For my in home services, I have a yard that is set up with individual fenced areas, as well as having 4.5 acres that will soon be fully fenced in! For those bigger dogs who want to be able to run and stretch their legs more.I have two of my own dogs as well, as company for those who would enjoy a playmate. We do crate all guests for bedtime and meals. This ensures everyone can eat at their own pace, and in a safe environment. Same for bedtime. While we understand that your pet may sleep loose at home, we typically have guests from multiple households. Safety is our #1 priority and we don’t want to risk an issue overnight.

About: With over 15 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I’ve built a strong reputation for providing loving, reliable, and knowledgeable service to animals of all kinds. Whether it’s walking dogs, caring for cats, or tending to small pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. I’m a teacher who is off for the summer! This opens my schedule to be available fill time all days of the week to fulfill all your pet care needs. I am able to check on animals frequently and reliable in following any special directions you may have for your fur babies. I am fairly athletic so can provide animals with the exercise and walking they may need as well.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was younger than 10 years old. My mother and I would volunteer our time at animal sactuaries to walk, play, bathe, feed, and even foster animals in our home. We rescued many pets off the street to support them and rehome them, as well as took part in training search and rescue dogs. I have always had a deep love for animals and supporting them just comes naturally. My experience fostering. re-homing, and supporting animals has allowed me the wisdom to be a wonderful support and playmate to your furry friend. I am currently on sabbatical from higher education and am spending this time working on creative projects and have open time to give intentional love and attention to your special pet! Every living thing is worthy of attention, love, and security. With my years of experience in animal care, I approach each animal with the upmost respect to provide a safe and loving environment (whether in my own home or that of a client's).

About: I worked with a dog rescue for over a year. I was in charge of socialization of the severe abuse cases, exercising and feeding the 50+ dogs on our site. I have experience with 3 week old pups & bottle feeding, walking and loving on 150 pound dogs, and taking care of those with special needs & the elderly. I have personally fostered 10+ different dogs, usually strays I find. I'm a sucker for bully breeds and goofy ears, but all dogs will be sure to get excellent treatment and my undivided attention. I have one spoiled 9 year old hound mix with megaesophagus, so I'm used to giving pills to pups regularly! She's very chill and a good sport with all dogs and cats. I work a full-time job 8-5, M-F, but have flexibility to let dogs out over lunch! Let me spoil and love your pet like my own! I'm a full-time worker, but my job has extreme flexibility to let out pets over lunch or beforw/after work! I work 8-5p usually and can take a lunch whenever needed! I will always ask and adhere to whatever standards and schedule you have set for your pets! As for my dog, she is spoiled rotten. It's her world and I just live in it. That being said, she isn't destructive and is house trained. I do put on a vibrating/loud noise collar to deter barking when I'm not home since she is a hound. When she is outside on the lead, I sit on the porch with her for safety. Dogs are allowed on the couches and beds at my house. While I have a crate, I have never used it in the 3.5 years I've had my pup because I've never needed it. I have used crates with past fosters who benefited from that routine.

About: With 15 years of experience in emergency and specialty veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant and manager, I bring a deep level of knowledge, reliability, and compassion to every dog I care for. Whether your pup thrives on outdoor adventures or needs a calm, nurturing environment, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, active hiker and long distance runner, and passionate about enrichment and experiences - your energetic dog will have a blast exploring trails with me. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart; I recently adopted a 13-year-old diabetic dachshund and know firsthand how much love and attention they deserve. From trail walks to couch cuddles, your dog will be in expert, loving hands. Let me be their new favorite companion! I’m currently working part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I already spend most of my day with my own dogs—they love to ‘assist’ with whatever I’m doing around the house! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs—they’re my world—so I understand how important it is to meet each pet’s unique needs and routines. Your dog will receive the same level of care and attention I give my own. I’m very flexible with my schedule and always aim to stick closely to your dog’s normal routine—whether that means walks, feeding times, play, or downtime. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or mine, you can count on me to treat them like family and give you peace of mind.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of my personal pets and my families pets. I can give baths handle food and water as well as walks and playtime. I have full availability for the summer time. I am flexible for now and am looking for a long term or short term employment what ever you need. I live in a smaller pet friendly apartment, but I live right next to Gage dog park and would love to take them there. I have a Yorkshire terrier that is 3 and would love to meet your pup but doesn’t have to if you are uncomfortable with that.
