“We are so grateful for Casie and her incredible patience with our sensitive beagle, Danbi. Danbi can be very shy and often refuses to go out, but Casie approached her with such calmness, understanding, and care. She never rushed or forced anything—just met Danbi where she was, with kindness and gentleness. It meant so much to us to see someone respect Danbi’s pace and personality. Thank you, Casie, for treating our pup like family. You’re truly one of a kind!”
“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
“My dog LOVES Elan. He was immediately excited upon meeting her for a get-to-know-you walk. Elan is great with communicating via the Rover app/number. I chose Elan due to her experience with big dogs. My dog is leash reactive and she does a great job of finding routes for him to go on. Plus she could be a famous dog photographer!”
“Aye is absolutely the best pet sitter I ever had. She checked off everything in my list about what to do with my dog Chloe and cat Leona. She even sent several pictures after her visit. I had no worries about my pets while I was away. She even said my dog had a good personality!!!”
“Elena was great with Jett and was very responsive on the chat. She also took great pictures and kept us up to date on everything that was going on or happened during the walk. We will definitely use her again”
“IImani is so thoughtful and when she’s with Bella, I feel completely safe. Today is a fairly hot day and she remembered that Bella has a cooling Best and put that on her. I really appreciate her extra efforts.”
About: My family has adopted/rescued many dogs throughout my life, which has also given me experience to handle any dog regardless of their size or personality. Whether it is a small dog or a big dog I can care for them regardless of their needs. I am free 24/7 throughout the summer to help care for your pets. Whether that is one day, one night, or several days, I can be relied on to care for your pets while you are away. Due to my pet care experience, I am extremely capable of following directions. On top of that, I am used to working with animals in different environments, and can care for your animal/s precisely as requested.
About: I love the babies and the old folks yelling, "Get offa my lawn!" I care for puppies who are at least partially housebroken (tell me your style, and I can adapt to it). I care for seniors who need medicine and/or mobility equipment. I care for all the dogs in-between. I have cared for dogs with skin allergies and skittish dogs who are terrified of storms. I will help your dog feel right at home everywhere we go. I go to college online, part-time, so your schedule is my schedule. I am free whenever you need me, generally within one day's notice. If you need me to housesit, as long you have wi-fi, I am good to go. I live in a townhouse, and I have a cat, so I can only doggy daycare small-to-medium dogs, but we can take walks all day long, if your pup wants! At your home, your rules are my rules. I will follow whatever reasonable instructions you have for your pets. (I can also water your plants and feed your fish/birds/small mammals/reptiles.)
“Julian is great with my baby Sully! Sully is very stubborn (but also very sweet!). Julian has been patient with him and very caring. He has done a wonderful job! We will continue to use him for our walks! Thank you Julian!!!”
“Ryan was so attentive and went above and beyond for our leash-reactive pup on their twice-daily walks. He made us feel comfortable leaving the country and leaving our dog in someone else’s care.”
About: Since being a child, my family has always had dogs, ( dashounds, Bassets, Labs, and most recently, Jack Russell’s) Other than the Jack Russell, we’ve bred the others. Always associated house training from an early age. The lab needed help getting up steps as she lived to 16, so, I would assist, or carry her up until it was time to euthanize her. I love dogs, and this opportunity is the ideal fit for a part time job as I am retired, I am a Veteran of the USN, ( Hospital Corpsman) I have always loved being a play mate with dogs, and as importantly, a leader, that dogs respect. Putting dogs at ease while they are in my presence is very important.

I will care for your pet and give them so much love and lots of attention as if they are mine.

During your pets stay I will work around their itinerary. I currently work from home, so your baby will never be alone. Your pet will go on daily walks or runs around the neighborhood and have lots of play time. Your best friend will be supervised at all times during play time in the dog park to playing in the yard, so you never have to worry. I have my own business, so I work from home I do personalize T-shirts, and more so I work from home I’m home all day I do dog boarding they are safe. I love your dogs like they all my own. They won’t be caged. They are free. They will be good in My Home.

Alayah is the best! She was punctual, and very patient as my dog is pretty stubborn and sometimes does not like to walk. Before leaving she always makes sure he has his treat and his water bowl is full. She is very kind, and reliable I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be hiring her again.
