About Anastasia

7 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am looking to make some extra income doing something based around my schedule and availability. I am a dog and Animal lover. I miss my pit bull sampson like crazy but am unable to commit to a pet again full time. I would treat any animal with the nurture and respect they deserve. And just like I would want for my sampson, if I'm taking care of a pet, it's not just about food and shelter...it's about showing them love and companionship as well. If you are working alot of hours or just need some extra care I'd love to help out. I live near the boardwalk at the oceanfront so I'll be ready to go on long walks by the beach, or in the state park. I go a couple times a day usually (before and after the sunny hours). I also stick to whatever rules you have implemented in your home, as consistency is more comfortable to your pet as well as easier for you when they return! I look forward to meeting you and your pups! All breeds and sizes welcome!

About Kelsey

7 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Growing up, I had the nickname as an animal magnet as I always had over seven pets in the house and I love taking care of them! Now I have two cats, Romeo and Salvador Dali. Animals bring joy to my life and I want to return the favor by making them happy as well as their owners. I provide complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets and to determine that I am the right fit as your Rover sitter. Note: I am Deaf but that is never a barrier to me when it comes to taking care of animals or communicating with their owners!

I am currently a graduate student for an online program at Gallaudet University, pursuing a Master's degree in Sign Language Education. I also teach ASL courses at Tidewater Community College and volunteer at Families to Families, a support group program for parents with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children. I hope to become a Foster caretaker for pets one day.

Dogs and cats are my speciality but I am also familiar with bird, reptiles, rodents, and other animals. I have experiences with training puppies, taking care of senior pets and pets with special needs (post-surgical recovery, chronic illnesses, etc), and administering medicines orally and via injections (in dogs, cats, ferrets, and rats).

To provide the best care possible, it is important for me to be aware of your pets' special needs, such as dietary restrictions or behavioral concerns. Do let me know your pets' allergies (food/environmental), toy or treat restrictions, history of destructive behavior, history of reactivity (barking, lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, wetting bed or marking in the house), and history of separation anxiety. The more you are able to inform me about your pets, the better I can accommodate and provide excellent service. I do not have any breed, age, or gender preferences as I love any kind of dogs--and any kind of pets, even tarantulas!

Dog-walking: I love going for walks around in the neighborhood, to the parks (especially First Landing State Park), and anywhere else the owner wishes me to take their furbabies to. I can walk up to 3 times a day, depending on the dogs' energy level and stamina.

House-sitting/drop-in visits: I love to play with dogs and cats (and any other pets) and provide the best quality care as possible. I make sure their water bowls are clean and filled with fresh water, their potty breaks are relieved, their feeding schedule in compliance, and anything else is necessary--such as medicines. I also can bring in the mail, water your plants, and any other small favors as well. I send clients updates with photos frequently!

Boarding/day-care: I live in a small house with fenced yard and two cats. Your pets will need to be able to get along with cats. Romeo tends to hide from fur visitors while Sal usually play with them! Your pets can play tug-of-war, wrestle playful, or chill on the couches/floor in my living room. They also can run around, play ball, or roll in the grass in my fenced backyard. I do have some towels and toys but you will need to bring your own bedding, food/water bowls, and toys--anything that will make them feel even more at home!

Overall, my style of care is accommodating as each pet is unique in his/her own ways. Some pets have high energy level and need longer walks while others prefer to cuddle and sleep all day--both work for me! I send my clients updates with text messages and photos so they can know how their furbabies are doing.

If you have any questions, please do not hesistate to contact me!

About Kara

3 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I have watched my neighbors and friends dogs for a couple years now. I have my own dog that I take care of and I know how protective people are about their pets, and I will treat your dog with the same love and care as I do mine. If your pet has any special needs or medication I am not afraid to deliver it to them. In a normal day I would take the dog outside let him/her use the restroom and then take them for a walk, before I leave for class I would make sure they have plenty of food and water. When I return from class I would play games with them and make sure they get plenty of exercise. If I have work that day I will take the him/her for a walk before I leave and make sure they have food and extra water, when I return from work I would play some more with them to tire them out before going to bed, so that they get a good nights sleep.

About Leigha

11 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi there! My name is Leigha, I'm married and a home owner. I have working with animals since I was 10 yrs old. I'm currently a pet groomer and have pet sitting experience. I've worked at vet clinics,kennels, grooming salons and horse stables. I'm experienced in giving medication and cleaning/ treating wounds. I know how to identify seizures and how to comfort those who experience them.
We have a large home in a great neighborhood. We have a huge enclosed backyard where dogs can play and explore. There is a doggy door in our sunroom with access to the yard. We have an Akita and a cat ourselves. Our Akita is extremely friendly and she is always looking for a buddy to play with.
If your pet isn't good with others, that is ok too. We have extra rooms and baby gates where we can keep them apart. I offer a comfortable space for your animal and my full attention to their needs including anxiety, medication, feeding, exercise, ect.
If you prefer I also make house calls. I will visit your home 2 to 3x a day to care for your pet. This includes and not limited to potty breaks, medication, feeding, walking and care and affection.
Please feel free to ask any questions!

Look forward to meeting you!!

Your fur paw baby will be happy getting walks on the beach, going to the park, including doggie park, and running in a big fenced in back yard.

Lots of love attention to give. Lots of belly rubs and love to give your baby. www.dogvacay.com/pro/pawfriend4ever

About Delana

12 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
**About me**
I am a full time Grad student with a flexible schedule who loves animals and being outside. I was the owner of a Huaky/Shpherd mix, before she passed away and have been actively pet sitting for about 5 years. I started with family and friends, then for professors while I was obtaining my Bachelor's degree. I now do it full time and live every minute of it. I live with my parents and we have a big yard, that our dog could run laps in and some of the other dogs I have watched have this as well.

**About my home/services**
I live in a 2 story home with a big spacious backyard, which is fenced in. I never allow for the animals in my care to go out without supervision.

**About my neighborhood**
I live in a nice neighborhood, where there are 2 parks that are easily accessible. Most roads are not busy, but there are an abundance of side walks and there is always the opportunity for longoing walks.

**What to expect**
In my care a dog would enjoy cuddles, beach trips, long walks, runs, and trips to the park. There is always always an assorment of things to do and on rainy days there is always the idea for a trip to Petsmart, which I have done before.

**Special rules or requests**
I have no special needs or prfernces. Those would be discussed with the owner, upon seeing if it is a good fit for their companion and I. I believe that is the most important thing and that they find the care giver that will fit their needs and those of their companion specifically
