“Brad was great with our reactive dog. He handled him in a gentle manner and was able to take him for walks and play with him. Baldur really enjoyed his visits.”

“We had Cherokee come by twice when we took a day trip to the beach. Once I initially contacted her, she was eager to respond and offered to come by and meet us prior to booking. She was prompt on both her visits and communicated extremely well throughout the entire process. She provided feedback on what they did during the visits and took a few photos. We came home to no accidents with our dogs which is amazing considering they are both older dogs. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment. While my days may lack the physicality of a routine, assisting pet owners like you is a constant in my virtual realm. I'm here to offer timely advice on feeding schedules, grooming practices, exercise routines, and any other aspect of pet care you seek guidance on. Think of me as your virtual companion, ready to help integrate the well-being of your furry friends seamlessly into your daily or weekly schedule. Whether it's a quick tip or a detailed plan, I'm just a message away, ensuring that pet care aligns harmoniously with your life. Caring for pets in a home is a harmonious blend of responsibility and joy. It begins with creating a cozy space, where their bed becomes a sanctuary and their favorite toys add a playful touch. Daily routines include nourishing meals, regular walks, and moments of interactive play that forge a strong bond. Grooming sessions become a ritual of care, ensuring their coats shine and nails stay trim. Beyond the basics, it's the shared moments on the couch or a reassuring pat that make a home truly pet-friendly. In every wag of the tail and purr of contentment, the art of caring for pets transforms a house into a haven filled with love and companionship.

“Overall excellent service! Elizabeth is punctual, reliable, goes above and beyond with communicating about our pup, and is so kind. Our dog jumps with joy every time he sees her.”

“Tammie did an amazing job caring for Toby and Prince while we were on vacation. We were sent lots of videos and pictures during the in home visits, directions were followed perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for more!”

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.

“Katey was great with my cat Douglas Fur! He took to her right away and now they are fast friends. She was prompt, kind, attentive and easy to work with. I will definitely be using Katey to take good care of Doug in the future!”

About: I’ve lived my whole life with animals. From ducks to dogs, there isn’t much I haven’t experienced. My calm and loving nature invites all animals in with confidence. I am confident with all sizes and demeanors. I am mama to an 85lbs lab named Benji and a 15lbs cavalier King Charles named Willow. Pet care is not just a service I offer; it is an essential, non-negotiable part of my daily life. As the owner of a dog named Benji, my schedule is already built around providing consistent, attentive, and loving care. This personal experience ensures that I understand the importance of routine, patience, and vigilance when caring for your pet. When caring for your pet in your own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine to minimize stress and anxiety. I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk routes, medications, and household rules. I prioritize home security by ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked, and I treat your living space with the utmost respect, always leaving it clean and exactly as I found it.

About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe and familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.

“Winnie was a joy! When caring for our cats, she was communicative and friendly and did everything just as we requested. She sent us multiple photos and detailed updates that let us know our babies were well cared for. We can't wait to have her sit with our pets again.”

“Alex was amazing. Kind, professional, trustworthy. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats. I highly recommend Alex!”

About: With over 10 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I have developed a profound understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of various animals, particularly dogs. My journey began as a volunteer at local animal shelters, where I learned the importance of compassion and attentive care. Since then, I have had the privilege of providing personalized pet sitting services for a diverse clientele, ensuring that each pet feels safe, loved, and engaged in their owner's absence. My approach is centered around creating a nurturing environment that prioritizes the well-being and happiness of pets. I am well-versed in administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and implementing exercise routines tailored to individual pet needs. Beyond basic care, I strive to foster a stimulating atmosphere through playtime, socialization, and mental enrichment activities, ensuring that each furry companion enjoys their time with me. Additionally, I maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to reassure them of their pet's well-being. My commitment to exceptional pet care is reflected in the strong relationships I build with both pets and their families, making me a trusted choice for pet sitting services. I have a full time job from 6 am to 6 pm in the army, but I am available during the weekend and holiday fulltime. I have a well fence yard with double protection so the dog will not be able to escape I also have a dog so your puppy will never feel alone.

“Ashley did great with our two high energy dogs (labradoodle & black lab)! Really appreciated her detailed report on the drop-in and how they did during her visit. Will hire again for drop-in visits and dog care when needed!”

“Once again Madisyn did a stellar job caring for our four cats while we were away. It helps us enjoy our time away knowing the cats are in such good hands.”

“We chose Mary-Elizabeth based on all of the other client reviews. In practice, her services did not disappoint! We got regular updates on our Maine Coin mix, Logan. She included photos, video and status notations. As we traveled, our phones had 2G capability much of the time, so access for the Rover app was so-so. When we let Mary-Elizabeth know this, she also texted us photos and links, which greatly put our minds at ease. All we can say is THANK YOU! If we need a sitter again, we will definitely look up Mary-Elizabeth first.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.

“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”
