Heather has been wonderful with our dog Rocky. She is very dependable and reliable. Her communication is great. Rocky loved Heather from the moment he met her. She handled the initial greeting chaos great- calm, confident, and so kind. You could see Heather's love for animals right away, We would highly recommend Heather to other pet owners and we will definitely be using her services again.

About: I’ve had many dogs and animals my entire life and have enjoyed every second of it. They have made my life complete and it’s an honor and pleasure to care for, bathe, feed and walk your beloved family members. There’s nothing better than a dog’s love. I currently work full-time traveling on the road. I will be able to take on clients when I am home. My schedule isn’t always the same but am willing to move things around if necessary and possible. I give the pet space and time to meet me and get used to my presence. I am gentle and patient, taking extra time to ensure your pet’s safety, health and happiness. I leave things how I found them and I make sure that your dog is safe and secure before I depart.

Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!

About: During high school I volunteered at Buffalo Ridge animal hospital where I cleaned exam rooms and calmed and comforted dogs and cats that were there for boarding or surgery. I am young and am physically fit and will be able to work with any type of energy your pet has! I do know pet CPR but am not yet certified, when certified it will be added to my profile! I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available almost every day for dog walking and I am trying to keep my weeks open to drop in visit and house sitting! I prefer to have a schedule that I can follow diligently. I would like to make your pets comfortable and keep them on a routine that won’t upset or confuse them. If any accidents occur inside the house I will of course take care of it. Basically any way I can help you with your pet ask me I do not mind.

About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.

About: Well to start off my name is Michael K. I am 26 years old and I am a huge dog lover of all kinds of breeds. I’ve honestly have been around dogs my entire life. Growing up with my family they were big animal lovers and as I got older I was too. I honestly don’t think I could live life without having at least one dog. They are my whole world and have taught me so much about living life. I wouldn’t necessarily say I have special skills or say pet care experience. It is all about common sense and knowing exactly what a dog needs and especially what they can and can’t eat. Just giving them all the attention is what matters honestly.

They were absolutely amazing. I booked them to take my two babies on a walk while I was not able to be home for a long period of time. I am very careful who I let take care of my dogs, but I was never concerned once after meeting Angi. I knew they were in good hands. I will absolutely use them any time I need any type of care for my babies.

About: I've taken care of or owned an array of different pets, from fish to horses. I have previously volunteered for shelter dog walks and at a vet clinic. Special requests for feedings, medicines, or if your pet just has specific quirks do not scare me away. I own a rescue dog with special reactive needs, so reading cues and body language are my specialty. Currently exploring different career options and schooling, therefore I have open availability. The more walks and outside time, the better. Accepting schedule/ routine walks and house sitting for your furry family member(s) I've worked with special case dogs before, and owned my fair share. Safety of the pet is priority #1, including type of environment for walks and such. I embrace special care for dogs, such as specific food requirements, medicine, or mental stimulation for high energy breeds. I love them quirky

About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.

Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.

About: Hello! Im Kayla I have had my dog for 6 years and ive had my cat for 8 years now! I grew up with 3 dogs and used to watch neighborhood dogs when I was younger! I currently work at Starbucks so it allows me to have a flexible schedule. I would do one in the morning, afternoon, and at night. My dog is very active and loves to go on drives. We are playing with the ball constantly and we occasionally go on starbucks runs (which are her favorite). We have to give her good morning cuddles and she comes with us just about everywhere! As for the cat she does her own thing but as soon as its time to relax she loves to cuddle and sit on us!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.
