About: I have plenty of time on my hands. I am disabled so I’m home a lot and have plenty of free time. I have two dogs. I’m very kind ,patient , loving and fun. I have plenty of time and opportunity to help with any situation needed for your pet. I have a very loving and comforting nature and I adore animals. I care for my two dogs, but other than that I have plenty of time on my hands for assistance with your pet(s). I’m ready and eager to help. I care for my pets diligently, I believe they need and deserve lots of time and attention. I would think the exact same for your pet(s).

About: I am an almost lifelong pet owner, but I have 5 years of volunteering at an animal shelter where I socialized, trained and walked pets to prepare them to be adopted. I am also a casual pet sitter for friends. I am a full time day worker but can go take care of pets every week day after 3pm. and any time on weekends. I am usually available on holidays. I will make sure they are fed, have clean bowls and will take them on walks. They will get lots of play time and I will hang out with them so that they are not alone.

About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is my patient, loving approach to every dog I meet. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds—and I understand how to tailor care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m confident in basic training and redirecting unwanted behavior using positive reinforcement. With enough treats and consistency, I truly believe there’s nothing a dog can’t learn! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—me and my roommate share two cats, Lennox and Sylvia, and they definitely keep us on our toes! Lennox is always digging through the trash like he’s starving (even though they get two servings of wet food a day plus dry food), so I’m often cleaning up his little adventures. They’re totally spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing with them using lasers and feather toys—they’re a blast and bring a lot of joy and routine to my day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and keep an eye on their behavior in case anything seems off. Whether it’s giving meds, scooping the litter box, or just hanging out on the couch for some cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much animals thrive on routine and love, so I make sure they get both!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life — not just as pets, but as family. I grew up helping raise five incredible family dogs, each with their own unique personality and story. Along the way, I also rescued a special mixed-breed pup who reminded me that love knows no labels. Through years of hands-on experience, I’ve learned how to connect with dogs of all types — from the high-energy and anxious to the gentle and stubborn. I believe in meeting each dog where they are, building trust through patience, respect, and heart. To me, ʻohana means no one gets left behind — and that includes our four-legged family members. Whether I’m caring for, training, or simply spending time with a dog, I treat them as I would my own: with kindness, understanding, and a whole lot of love. I offer dog walking and drop-in services during school hours or when I have childcare assistance. I can be flexible upon request but am primarily available each day during the hours of 11am-3pm. Can be available for occasional overnight dog sitting if arranged in advance. Every dog I’ve welcomed into my life has had access to safe, fenced-in areas for free play and exploration. I paid close attention to the little things that matter: setting aside items like shoes or food for curious pups, knowing each dog’s allergies, and avoiding toys that could become choking hazards. I believe in creating a secure and loving environment where dogs can thrive, be themselves, and always feel at home.

About: Hi! We’re a pet-loving couple who believes every dog and cat deserves a safe, happy, and fulfilling life. With years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, we’re confident, compassionate, and genuinely love what we do. We both work from home full-time so your pet will always have company! Our spacious, fully fenced yard is perfect for safe outdoor fun, whether that’s soaking up the sun, wrestling with other pups, or chasing after a ball. We’re flexible, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s unique energy and routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something we do, it’s truly our passion. We’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and share our home with two playful cats, a sweet Aussie, and a lovable Corgi, so we know every animal has their own personality. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are to us! 🐶 Daycare & Boarding Your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised play, enrichment, cuddles, and outdoor time in our large fenced yard with fresh water always available. If requested, we can crate them during mealtimes and at night since we have crates of all sizes. 🏡 Drop-In Visits With both of us available, one of us can focus fully on your pet while the other helps out with light household tasks if needed. We’re happy to bring in packages, take the trash out or in, water plants, or tidy up as requested. Your pet gets quality attention and you get peace of mind knowing everything at home is taken care of! 🐕 Dog Walking Whether your pup needs a run or a longer walk to burn off energy, we’ve got it covered. We walk at your dog’s pace and let them sniff. Walks are a mix of exercise and mental enrichment, because we know a good walk is about more than just steps! As fully remote workers, we’re able to care for your pet no matter what schedule they have or the times you need us to drop in. We provide constant updates so that you feel comfortable while you’re away from your pet. Pets under our care are never left alone, and we make sure all interactions are positive and that everyone is having a good time. We treat each pet with the same love, patience, and care we give our own.

“Skye made a new friend with Nahla. She sent pics and updates at each visit. And being a vet tech she passed on some info that we needed to watch about Nahla. Skye spirit was calming for Nahla so.less stress for the separation days.”


About: We love animals!! My wife and I have two Labrador Retrievers of our own (Scarlord and Lady). We’re fun people, we have goofy dogs and we always respect the rules that our clients are comfortable with setting for their doggos. Whether your dogs are chill or nuts, we’ll accommodate and facilitate their happiness! We play with our dogs all the time and go on a few walks/longboard runs during the day, as well as play in our big fenced-in backyard. Any other dogs are welcome in our home and will get plenty of love and attention from us :) Our Rover experience comes with: An open floor plan house, two resident dogs that love other dogs, a big fenced-in backyard to play, running trails, plenty of toys, treats and love, and of course belly scratches 🤙🏾

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years, from my own, friends, and neighbors; many different people and dogs I have relied on me to ensure the safe care of their loved ones. Recently, I became a cat owner and have also started taking care of him as well. Currently, I am working part-time and will have plenty of time to take care of, love, and ensure the safety of your dogs and/or cats. Currently, in my apartment complex I have my cat. However, my complex is equipped with its own fenced dog park. If you prefer your animal to be in a crate or roam free, either option is possible!

About: Almost a lifetime of experience working with and training the best of the best and the challenging as well. Worked extensively with brachycephalys breeds in my bulldog rescue. I have also been fortunate to own and work closely with "pit bull" breeds as well. I have a connection with animals that can be seen almost immediately and love to work and share with them. I have an extensive network of friends and professionals from my years of volunteering and rely on them for any information I may not have. My schedule is flexible and I am looking forward to getting to know you and your pet as well as working together in a relationship as we build solid foundation of trust & openness. Thank you As a retired federal employee, I am finally able to use my time doing what I love, spending it with animals and sharing that bond I prefer to care for your pets in their known and comfortable environment - their own homes! I am also able to provide a safe and loving environment on my own home.
