“Grace works patiently to gain the dog’s trust. Her questions demonstrate true care and concern. She ensures she is walking at the dog’s pace. Grace is professional, kind and considerate. I feel honored to have met her and trust her completely with my dog.”


“It has been a stress free week, knowing Tabitha would be walking Ro everyday. He has been noticeably more relaxed when I’ve gotten home from work in the evenings. Would not hesitate to recommend or use her services again.”

About: My number one priority is keeping your animals happy and safe, and my number two priority is making you feel comfortable knowing that your babies are in good hands. I have grown up with animals and have years of experience dog-walking and pet-sitting for all kinds of creatures, from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles and beyond. I have experience administrating pills to dogs and cats. I also have experience with dogs that have seizures or epilepsy. I work part-time at the library so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Otherwise, my personal work is remote and flexible. I want to know and respect the rules of your house, whether the dog isn’t allowed on the couch, or the cat is restricted to a certain amount of treats, and so on.
About: I have been a lifelong lover of all animals in every shape, size, and species! I grew up with a dog and cat and now I have my own dog and 3 cats! I did long term pet sitting for two years while in college and now I’m ready to return full time! Animals have always been my passion in life so I cannot wait to meet yours! I also previously worked in a vet clinic so I now have knowledge in animal handling, grooming, administrating medication, and a basic understanding of common pet issues/illnesses. Fitness is also a passion of mine so I would love to take your pets on fun, long walks around the area! I am also a portrait photographer on the side so you are guaranteed to get good photos of your beautiful fur babies! My own dog, Mateo, has always been a spirited pup to say the least! With that I have gained some knowledge with basic dog training. Have a puller on your walks? I can help with it! Need some help with basic commands for a feisty puppy? I got you covered! My goal now is to solely focus on providing pet care and start building my photography business! I am available anytime Monday-Friday but also open to weekends. I love a good schedule so I would absolutely love to have reoccurring clients! I absolutely care for your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to have to leave your precious babies in someone else’s care but I promise to update you every step of the way! From when I arrive to your home, during the visit, and when I am leaving your home. If you have any questions during the visit I will be able to answer you right away! My top priority is not only your pet but also making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

About: Had pets of my own and helped pet-sit for others since I was in middle school. I’ve always had a huge spot in my heart for all sorts of animals. I would say I’m good at walking bigger dogs due to daily strength training and owning a large dog of my own. I make my own schedule for my sales job, therefore I can work things out to be able to take proper care of your fur baby! I have a dog and cat at my apartment, and both are friendly with other animals. Can easily crate my animals or yours depending on your wants. Can either come to your place or bring your pets to mine. However, I don’t have a fenced in yard and have to walk fur babies on a leash if coming to my place.
About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience. I am a full time college student however, I have my evenings free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends work great for me as well. I love dog training and I am extremely passionate about animal research, so I love to learn more. I am detail oriented, I have a dog of my own, and I actively pet sit. I am really good with communication, and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.

About: I am a calm, patient, and responsible pet lover who enjoys spending time with both dogs and cats. I currently have a 17-lb dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet, including feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine. I also previously cared for a medium-sized adult dog for about two months and have long-term experience interacting with cats through my previous workplace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I will always treat your pets with patience, kindness, and care. I am currently waiting for my nursing license transfer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I am available throughout most weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of visit times. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide reliable care, companionship, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while you are away. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality. During each visit, I will follow your instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and companionship. As someone with a healthcare background, I pay close attention to details and take responsibility for your pet’s well-being and safety.

“We love her! Lydia is very sweet, caring, polite, punctual and honest. I found a gem in her! She's a natural, my baby Gunner adores her the moment he saw her. She's someone that you can trust and depend on. I highly recommend her! Thank you Rover! Thank you Lydia and looking forward to hire you again. Kudos!”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha. I'm an animal lover who grew up in a home that always had pets. I love all animals and will love on your furry friends while you are away! I am always the go-to house and pet sitter for all my friends and family because I’m reliable, caring, and treat every animal like my own. I work from home, so I’m often able to stay with your pets during the day if I can work from your house, giving them plenty of company and attention. I’d love to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind (and cute photos of your pet) while you’re away! Working from home gives me the perfect schedule to care of your pets and home while you are away! My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to be with your pet throughout the day giving them extra love and attention! I will make sure I understand the pet's routine and normal enviornment so that I can be sure that we are sticking to that. I will be sure I that if any pets are outside they are on leash or being monitored in a back yard. I stay midful of all entrances/exits/gates ensuring your sweet pup or cat are safe.

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and animals have always been one of my biggest passions. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue kitten, so I am constantly surrounded by animals and am very familiar with the care, attention, and love they require. My dogs are apartment dogs with a small yard, so we average about 5–6 walks a day. Walking, playing with, and loving on animals are genuinely some of my favorite things to do. My mission is to provide the best care possible for your pet while also making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience caring for puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, administering medications, animal hygiene, and more. I am comfortable around animals of any size, color, or breed, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. When I come to walk, play with, visit, or take care of your animals, I will dedicate my time to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I love being able to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other people peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for. A little about my own pets: I have my Pittie, Bandit, who is 6 years old and a rescue. I also have Koda, my 3 month old Pitbull/German Shepherd mix who is also a rescue. Lastly, I have Loki, my 4 month old rescue kitten. They are my world, and I would treat your pets with that same love and care! I am a full-time online student at ASU, which means I am home most of the time and have very open availability. I am also very flexible and can often accept last-minute bookings I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs! I also walk my dogs very frequently and don’t mind to add more to our walks. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space and beds for playing, sleeping, and zoomies!
About: Hi, my name is Kristen, and I LOVE animals (mostly dogs). I have taken care of many dogs in my life, including dog sitting for my siblings when they go out of town, or just loving and caring for my own dog. I love getting to know dogs and their personalities, especially the cuddly ones ❤️ I will love your dog like they are my own I work a full-time job, so I will be gone most of the day. I can come home on my lunch hour to check in, but as long as your dog is okay with that, everything will be fine! I live on the second floor of an apartment, with lots of space. My complex has a dog park, and we are connected to a state park so I can take your pup on lots of adventures.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs with very different breeds, personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’ve grown up around pit bulls and retrievers and am currently a proud Chiweenie owner. One thing I’ve learned from caring for dogs is that understanding their behavior is just as important as feeding them and taking them for walks. I’ve had experience recognizing when a dog is frightened or overstimulated and giving them the space and reassurance they need. For example, when my childhood dog became overwhelmed after a stressful interaction, I took him somewhere quiet so he could calm down. During thunderstorms and fireworks, when he would tremble with fear, I would bring him somewhere comfortable and stay with him until he settled. I’m also the person at family gatherings who naturally ends up keeping an eye on the dogs—making sure they’re getting enough exercise and attention while also making sure younger kids give them appropriate space and treat them respectfully. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, bathing, and overnight care. I enjoy both tiring out an energetic dog and providing a calm presence for a nervous one. I’ve also cared for cats and generally find that they warm up to me pretty quickly. Most importantly, I will enjoy taking the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routines, and boundaries. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am available throughout the day. I wake up early and care for my own dog before 8 AM every day. I can come by whenever is needed or stick around if that is preferred! I start by taking any instruction from you to heart regarding your pet's personality and habits. Outside of that, I generally would like to start by having a joint meeting between me, your furry friend, and their best friend: you! That way, they can establish a level of trust for when I come by on my own. I follow the routine that you would like me to follow while remaining alert to your pet in the present, just like with my own pup.
About: My love for animals came very young with two family cats, and later also a dog, and has continued into my adulthood, now with my three cats Opal, Basil, and Juniper. I have experience with both puppies and kittens, having helped raised both from just a couple weeks old. I enjoy being a part of your pets routine and love when they are excited for my arrival. I want to make sure they feel loved and safe with me, and know that it will always be a fun time with me around. I know cats are typically more hesitant to trust, but I am willing to take the time to gain it to make them feel safe while I am over. Every pet is different so please let me know how I can best help you and your pet to make this as seamless and enjoyable for every one. I am also familiar with medicating dogs and cats (either pill or liquid oral meds). I have a fairly open calendar so just let me know what works best to continue your pet’s routine so i can do my best to maintain their normal feeding, walking, and activity schedule! I live in a nice, pet friendly community. Any time your pet is outside I will be with them with their leash or harness on if requested.
“Natalie was wonderful once again with Mac and Oliver. She always goes above and beyond and I can be at work without worrying about the boys. Very appreciative of her help!”

About: I have always been an animal lover since I was a wee lad! I’ve never been afraid of “big scary dogs” or getting scratched by a cat. As long as they’re comfortable, I know I have nothing to fear! I always make sure to provide the best care for pets that aren’t mine because I think of how I would want my dog to be treated! I’ve just graduated college, so I am completely free to hang out with your pets all day if needed! Just give me the heads up and I’ll be on my way! I always make sure to introduce myself to the pet before anything. I make sure to feed them based off of their schedule and take them outside every hour if possible. The most important thing for me is that your pet feels comfortable!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like my own—with attention, compassion, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies needing structure and training reinforcement, to senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m confident with administering oral medications, managing specific dietary needs, and reading body language to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s working on basic commands, easing separation anxiety, or just providing a cozy cuddle buddy while you’re away—I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I also prioritize communication with pet parents, so you’ll always feel in the loop with updates and photos to ease your mind. Pet care is something I naturally build my routine around—it’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings and snuggles, I structure my days to make sure pets are getting the consistent attention and care they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be fully present for each pet I care for. I’m committed to creating a calm, comfortable environment, sticking to their routines as closely as possible, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home. I stick closely to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—because I know consistency helps them feel secure. In your home, I treat your space with total respect, keeping everything clean and leaving it just as I found it. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality and needs—whether that means extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just keeping them company. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of love, toys, and attention. I keep a close eye on behavior, eating habits, and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands.
