“It was my husband and my first time using Rover and Tatum was wonderful!! Great communication about the dog and super helpful! My dog was happy and so relaxed when we got back home.”


“Joshua did amazing with our pup. We had 2 visits a day scheduled, and he mentioned she looked very lonely and seemed like she had been holding her bladder for awhile between visits, so we added a third mid-day visit and he said she perked right up.”


“Tessa has cared for my dog Molly on numerous occasions and always has great communication and is so good to my molly! I’m a crazy dog mom and Tessa always completely follows directions left for her. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”


About: I can also care for bunnies, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and small snakes (I do not feed live rats to the snake, not experienced there) I'm currently working full time, usually in the afternoon/evening. I can still dogsit, and I can do walks in the morning. Sometimes I work the mornings, and if that happens I'll readjust my day to care for your pet. I can bathe pets, feed, walk, take out and care for when needed. I can stay the night. Just give me instructions on what needs to be done and it will be done!

About: Back in Texas, I loved playing with my two chihuahuas and caring for neighbors pets. Now as a SCAD student, I truly miss the bond I shared with the pets back in my hometown. I’d make sure to give your pet all the love in the world just as I did with my dogs. Before moving here, I have cat/house sat for a week long, visited dogs alone at home and fed them, and provided walks for them as well. Even though I’m quite short, I am not afraid of big pups and love their excitable energy! I also love to cuddle up with a cat or lap dog as well! I’m very trustworthy and reliable, never one to be late to class or miss a deadline in high school. So give me a shot and I promise to provide your pet with excellent care! I can stay for extended periods of time on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday since I won’t be having classes at SCAD those days. On Monday and Wednesdays I can visit shortly after 3 PM, but not over night since it would be a school night for me. Lastly, I can’t do Tuesdays or Thursdays since I’ll be at school all day. I can do a variety of things! I can take your dogs out on walks/runs, feed them correct proportions, help train for simple commands (such as sit or stay), clean up after their waste (either be in litter boxes, pee pads, accidents, going outside, etc.), playing with toys, soothing them if they are anxious, and I could take care of a few house chores if you want 😂


“Dana is prompt and checks in with us while caring for our kitties with drop-in visits. She even brought a package into our house that was left on the porch! We know our fur babies are in good hands with Dana.”

I play with him each day and we do evening walks when it is cooler. I love to give my dogs treats for well behaved manners

About: I grew up on a farm, caring for all types of animals. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their animals like their own, whether taking day trips, extended trips, or just have a busy day & know their pup will need some time outside. I am lucky enough to have had almost 8 years & counting with a pup of my own! I work in a very flexible industry, providing lots of time to play with your pups! I am typically available all weekdays, and most weekends. I have a large, fenced yard with tons of room for your pets to play! I also live close to a dog park, if you’re comfortable with your dog in that kind of scene. My dog is very friendly with a young spirit & loves to play with others.

“Heather did a fantastic job caring for my Sadie dog while on vacation. She laundered her bedding she had a bit of an accident, and did a great job with her daily Outdoor between routine. I would recommend HEATHER for any of your pet needs. D Williams.”

About: Hi, I’m Zadaya – your dog’s new best friend! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, starting with my first family pup. Now, I have two of my own – a sweet Golden Retriever and a lovable Lab – so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I’ve worked with all kinds of breeds and temperaments over the years, and some even call me a dog whisperer because dogs naturally feel at ease around me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or keeping up with your pet’s routine, I provide loving, dependable care that puts both you and your pup at ease. I’d love to meet your four-legged friend and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I currently have open availability as I’m in between full-time roles, which means your pup will get my full attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or overnight stays, I can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and never alone! In My Home: When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family! I have a cozy, pet friendly home with plenty of space to play and relax. I own two friendly dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Lab), so your pup will have built-in playmates, if they’re social. I follow your dog’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred sleeping arrangements, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. In Your Home: When I care for pets in your home, I respect it like my own. I maintain your pet’s routine, provide companionship, and keep everything clean and tidy while you’re away. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you feel confident and at ease knowing your pup is in great hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just company, your pet will get personalized, one on one care.

About: I’ve been caring for animals, both personally and professionally for more than 30 years. I’ve worked closely with trainers, vets and clients to learn and properly care for a variety of animals and their humans. I am partial to large breeds, but will cuddle and play with all paw sizes. I’m completely comfortable with giving meds, going to vet appointments, special needs, etc. I’m a reliable pet/ house sitter, as I treat both as they’re my own. After many years of opening restaurants, traveling as a consultant and managing an exclusive resort clubhouse, my primary job is now organizing homes/ offices and often people’s lives. From pets to meal preparation, holiday shopping and home decor, I can help make your life easier! Recommendations available upon request. My full time job is currently on hold, so I have open availability at the moment. Let me help make your life easier and your pets happy I prefer to care for pets in their own home, as it’s far less stressful for them. I treat all pets and homes as if they are my own

About: Experienced with dogs who have medical issues, who are high energy, and senior dogs. Also have done long term care for owners who leave on vacation or work trips.

About: I’ve always cared well for my pets - most of which were dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, rats, mice, and when I was young this included whatever wild animals I snuck into the house - snakes, frogs, lizards, worms, ants, spiders, baby birds and bunnies and so on. I still remember my pet's names: Maggie, Romeo, Alice, TJ, Corky, Tommy, Bruce, Annie, Guy, Quito, Slinky, Tilly, Tikka, Raja, and Jet... and some of the wild ones, including "George Cooney" the baby raccoon. I'm also familiar with many different types of products and methods associated with the care of both domestic and wild animals. I spent six weeks volunteering at Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue in AZ. The work included things like cleaning kennels, holding and comforting rescue dogs during medical procedures, walking them, training them, bathing, feeding, and breaking down kennels. During this time I worked to rehabilitate a 95 lb blue pitty named Vinnie. The goal was for him to be a bit more gentle and easy to walk. He spent the first 2 years of his life pulling skateboarders. To him, a leash meant “pull hard.” His training involved daily sessions of at least 45 minutes for about six weeks. By the end he would reliably respond to “heel, sit, paw, down, come, and stay.” He could also lay down and stay put calmly for up to an hour, even off leash if need be. This is what I do for work, so I will try my best to be available whenever you need me to be. Wherever schedule conflicts arise, I try hard to be easy to work with. My pups don't use a crate but in the past I've had pups that preferred it. I let them choose as they grew up. For your pups, I will do as you ask, just as I have for every pet I've ever cared for that did not belong to me... Give me a list, and I will carefully follow your instructions while being a good caretaker, instructor, exerciser, and friend for them. My routines allow me to be flexible with my schedule, which makes it possible to provide for your pet’s needs at the time that’s most convenient for you and for them. I understand that different people and pets have different needs and will care for them the way in which I am instructed. I love the animals in my care and want to make sure they and you are comfortable with the way I’m doing things.
