“Margaret is a very patient and hard working woman! My dog is a rescue and very skittish of strangers. She barely lets anybody put on her harness. By day 2, Margaret was taking her on walks and my dog was playing with her when they got back! So as long as my dog is happy, I’m happy. Margaret is an excellent Rover dog care giver that will exceed needs and wants of your pet standards ❤️”

“Sarah took excellent care of my dogs. The whole experience was easy for me and even better than I had anticipated. The daily photos were wonderful. They obviously love her now, which is always nice for me when I travel.”

About: I’ve had a passion for dogs and animals from a very young age and have spent most of my life around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience through owning, caring for, and training my own dogs while learning the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and building trust with every animal. For the past year, I’ve been working with dogs professionally through dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, and daily care. During that time, I’ve continued developing my skills in canine behavior, leash handling, crate training, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m especially passionate about helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions while making sure they feel safe, exercised, and cared for. My experience as both a lifelong dog owner and a professional pet care provider has taught me that every dog is different and deserves individualized attention, compassion, and understanding. Whether working with puppies, high-energy working breeds, or family pets, I take pride in creating a calm, positive experience for both dogs and their owners. I work from home from 8AM to 5PM. So I have plenty of time in the morning and in the evening for feeding. I also have the freedom of taking breaks to play with your pets regularly. The safety, comfort, and trust of every pet in my care is always my top priority. I work hard to create a calm, structured, and positive environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and cared for like family. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort levels, so I take the time to build trust patiently and respectfully. Whether I’m walking, training, or pet sitting, I focus on maintaining safe handling practices, close supervision, clean spaces, and consistent routines. I pay attention to behavior, stress signals, and each pet’s individual needs to help them feel confident and comfortable while away from their owners. As both a lifelong pet owner and someone who works with animals professionally, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

“Elise was great with our dog and super responsive throughout planning and while caring for her! She kept us updated with lots of pics and was willing to come visit beforehand to go over care instructions. Would recommend!”

About: I adore all our furry friends and I am a reliable pet sitter for your family pet. Enjoy a peace of mind while you are away. I am a work-from-home mom of 3 teenage kiddos. My schedule is very open, which allows me to take extra time to care for any animal's needs. I have a great routine of feeding, exercising, and letting them go outside. It is important for our furry friends to feel calm while they are in a new environment.

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars because he deserves it. My dog was well cared for and ate his food. Even my normally shy cat liked him, which is a huge testament to him.”

About: I have always had a strong love and compassion for animals, especially dogs. I have a small dog myself and have trained him all on my own. I know how much my baby means to me and how I’d want someone to care for him, so I would provide nothing less for your baby! I am an energetic person that gets so happy to earn an animal’s trust. I keep myself educated on pet wellness and am able to assist with anything you or your baby will need! I work full time but am very free all day on weekends and evenings for walks/stays! Since graduating college I am looking to do something to bring me more activity and fulfillment. I love caring for animals so this is a great option for me. I live in a nice neighborhood by myself with a good sized dog park! There’s plenty of room to walk a dog and also have a sweet dog that gets along with others!!

“Thank you so so so much!!!”
