About: Growing up we always had dogs. When I got older I've owned dogs, cats, and fish. I've fostered dogs and cats for about 12 years until I become a foster failure to my Maryanne. She is a hound mix. In my fostering I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I will work with your dog and use the commands/ techniques that you use to instill consistency. I currently have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a dog as well so I would be in and out during the day. So I can take care of my Maryanne. I am able to stay at your house from evening to morning to care for your babies. I will treat your home and four legged members of your family with respect! Shower then with lots of play and cuddles. Also plenty of walks!

“Natalie is really great at what she does. She fills me in on what my dog does while walking him and do on… she’s seriously awesome! Flexible and kind. My Bohdi (black lab puppy) lovesssss her!”


About: I have had my own dogs for 25 years. I have worked in rescue for 15+ years and I am currently the general manager at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have experience giving medication including insulin. I currently have 3 dogs of my own. Pets are my passion. I take pride in caring for animals as if they were my own. Pet care is my life. I have 3 dogs of my own. I am the general manager of a daycare and boarding facility. It’s my passion! I follow exact instructions of how pet parents want their pet cared for. Whether it’s play fetch in the yard for an hour or walk them for an hour. I will follow exact instructions.

“Mary was awesome. I was very comfortable having her take care of our dog. That day had some inclement weather and she checked in to see how Kane does in the rain. He was a very happy boy when we got home, we will definitely use Mary again!”


About: My love and patience for all kinds of animals is what makes myself the go-to sitter for my community! Not only have I been sitting for 2 years, I’ve also grown and developed around many kinds of animals and would now like to expand my pet sitting journey! These past couple of years has brought me many new developments such as bunny care and assisting with 2 litters of newborn puppies. I love meeting new people and their pets! Thank you for considering me! Currently working at Home Depot, My typical week is Monday-Saturday 6am-2pm. I do not have a set schedule and may have a day off between Mon-Sat, but I work around my work schedule to accommodate your pets. I prefer to have instruction written out so I can use it as a reference. I am open to get-to-know-you visit to build comfortability and trust! My goal is to hide by yours and your pets routine as closely as possible! Communication is important to me in order to keep not only our furry friends but also myself safe!

About: i have experienced taking care of animals all my life since my parents always had cats and dogs . i’m very experienced with pets !!

In your home, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar space, following all care instructions closely.

“Arlene is awesome and did an amazing job taking care of Salem. She also sent me a ton of pictures which I always appreciate. Will definitely be asking her to take care of Salem again.”


“We were so lucky to find Kaitlyn! She responded quickly and was able to take on the job with very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the start, her communication was incredible—she sent detailed updates every visit along with adorable photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take great care of our cats, but she also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and even cleaning up without us asking. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and thorough. We’ll absolutely be using Kaitlyn again and couldn’t recommend her more!”



“This was my first time using Rover, but it was so great to know my dogs were being well taken care of while I was gone! Marie was responsive, conscientious, and helpful. I came home to two happy pups! I will definitely reach out to Marie next time I need someone to take care of my dogs.”


About: I treat every dog as if they are my own, learning their routines, preferences, and personality so they feel safe and loved. I have been caring for dogs all my life and it is something I take great pride in. I understand the importance of walking, exercising and proper attention to feeding schedules and water intake. Every dog is a new friend! I work from home and always have time for a four legged friend in need. Whether it be a walk or a drop in visit, my schedule is flexible. Please just message me with a time & date and we could work something out. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, so there is plenty of space to explore outside. I will ensure your pet is leashed if there is no fence at your home as well as going on a walk. I would care for your best friend as if I was in my own home. I will ensure your pet is shown love, well fed, and appropriately exercised. Trust is a two way street along with respect and humility.

“Arly did a fantastic job. She was always prompt, communication was great and most importantly she took great care of our dog. We will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: Hello! I am a very active individual who loves to engage and play with pets. I consider myself an avid runner, and have never shied away from taking pets with me. I am very used to walking and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For daycare, I work from home full time and have a large fenced in yard that all dogs love! I currently have two pets, a 1 year old pup named Vasher and a orange tabby cat named Locke. Vasher is a golden retriever / German shepherd mix who is the best boy. He already weighs over 70 lb! He loves to play, run around, and talk to us with his buttons. He is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends, both human and dog alike. Locke will make friends with any person he meets. I also helped raised my parents dog Leine, who is a 90lb tree walker cooonhound. She is the sweetest pup at 10 years old. I have watched and cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, but you can probably tell I have a special place for large playful dogs. If you're looking for somewhere to drop off your dog for the day where they will have a huge yard and a playmate, I'm your guy. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently work remotely! My schedule is entirely flexible, so I will be able to take care of your pet at any time of the day. If you have a set schedule for walking/feeding/playing, I'll be able to stick to it without any issues. I will care for your pet by paying attention to their needs, whether it be playing, cuddling, or feeding. I will keep them as active as possible, and would be happy to run them around the yard or neighborhood. I am very willing to follow whatever instructions you have for your pet.

About: I have had a dog(s) every year since I was born. Since I was 12, I have taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets which included staying overnight, taking them on walks, feeding them and following dietary restrictions, and playing with them! I have had both large and small dogs and find that the particular temperament of each is unique. No matter the personality of any dog, I find myself getting along with them! I am going to graduate school currently, but have classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights from 6pm-8:30pm which leaves me completely open most of the day. I am gentle with guiding dogs and am exceptionally patient. I can crate dogs, if preferred. When I walk dogs, I can match my pace, so if you have a quicker dog, I can handle it!

“My husband and I, on multiple occasions, have trusted Kristina with the care of our two beagle boys while we have been away on trips. She has been kind, caring, and a diligent caretaker and we will use her in the future as well. The love she has for animals goes above and beyond as I know she fostered animals for years (even a few that only had a short time to live OR were bringing life into this word) Highly recommend!”

Elizabeth E.
“I had the pleasure of working with Liz for several years in dog rescue, and she was absolutely incredible with the dogs. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure they were well cared for—walking them multiple times a day and showering them with love and affection. Every dog that came into the shelter received unconditional love from Liz, and it was truly a joy to work alongside her. Liz has also cared for my personal dogs during both short day trips and extended vacations. She followed my instructions to the letter and made sure my pets were safe, happy, and loved in my absence. Liz is one of the few people I completely trust with my dogs. She is loving, trustworthy, and exceptionally reliable.”

Journey also makes it a point to help tidy up things around the house when she is staying in our home as well, which is never expected but ALWAYS appreciated!”
