“Dependable, always on time, and my dog Hershel took to him! A+”


About: I’ve been around animals all my life and have always been able to bond with animals, probably better than I bond with most humans! I’ve always looked out for family and friends’ pets when needed and I also love to volunteer with animal shelters when I can! Pets are family and I will always treat the pets I look after like my own, they all deserve to feel safe and loved! I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, all energy levels (just give me a heads up!) and all personalities. I can administer topical or oral medication if needed, just give me some specific instructions on how your pet does best with that process and we will make it happen! As an owner of two dogs with big personalities, I totally understand having specific ways to do things and fitting their specific needs, so you can always communicate with me any specific needs/quirks/or just general info that would make the experience better for your pet and for you trusting me with them! I currently am working two part time jobs as I am transitioning from being on active duty military orders, my work schedule is not consistently the same, which is why I don’t have weekly care currently available on my profile. I’m more than happy to work with you if you need your pets walked or checked on any days at specific times! I absolutely love animals and am happy to help work around both of our schedules to make sure your pet gets the care they need! I treat every pet as if they’re my own! I understand that pets are part of our families and they deserve to be treated with kindness, love and dignity! I’m comfortable with drop-in’s with instructions on how to approach your pets and any general house rules or preferences you have; I’ve done drop in visits for friends and family for years and will always be sure your pet has had whatever care they need before I head out!

About: We have a black lab beagal mix at our house and we have trained him and have taken him to training classes. I also am very flexible with the times I can walk that dogs. I can also run with the dogs with the client wants me to! With having a dog it is daily. We take our dog for walks most days unless it is raining or too hot out. We love him like he is our own kid :) I would not take a clients animal into our house. I would primarily walk them around the area to make sure they have been walked. If the client wants me to run with them as well I can do that too!

“This was my first experience using this app and Shaea was an answer to my prayers! She offered to come meet Zoie and I the day before she was even scheduled, which put my heart at ease! Shaea is super friendly, thorough, and worth every penny. I’m so glad we found her!”


“Ellie went above and beyond for Tucker! I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be requesting her from now on!”


“Sydnee was a great help checking in on our cats while we were out of town! She went above and beyond making sure their litter boxes were clean and that their needs were met. She was a great communicator and we would recommend her to anyone!”


“Alyssa was awesome! She took awesome care of my scaredy cat while I was out of town for a week, and sent me plenty of pictures and videos! Will definitely book her again next time I am out of town :)”

About: I have two dogs of my own and one regular client that I take for walks/boarding! I’m looking to add some more dog walks and drop ins into my rotations!!! I have really firm boundaries about reactive dogs and non-dog friendly dogs and would never put your pet in a situation to fail! I have tons of recommendations and spots for quiet walks without tons of traffic to keep them entertained but not over stimulated! I also never co-walk my dogs with clients dogs or take clients dogs to public dog parks! Your pet is safe with me!! I work full-time but have flexible timing! So I’d never mind taking a break/ early lunch from work to come see your pet! And I love to stay busy on the weekends so they’d be a welcome addition to my routine! I really prefer to have a meet and greet intro that involves going to the clients home so the dog knows I’m allowed in their spaces and there’s no suprises day-of! I’m very respectful of your space (shoes off ofc) and happy to accommodate and extra needs you might have that day!

About: I have had my own dog for the last five years. Before that I have watched dogs for different people in my family while also house sitting. All of these dogs have been big dogs, though mine is a medium sized dog. I am currently not working so I can typically help with pet care at any time of the week. I go back to college at the end of august, so around that time my schedule will change a bit but I should be good every weekend and most afternoons. I take my dog on at least five walks every day. She gets a treat whenever she is done. I also have a large crate that I put her in for when we leave. My dog also has multiple stuffed animals she enjoys playing with.

About: I used to be a kennel technician who walked dogs, practiced training, while offering playtime for them and cleaning up their space. I’ve always loved caring for animals and wildlife and want to branch out on my own. I’m also a college student currently! I have a very flexible schedule right now, all that’s needed is to message me and see how our availabilities line up! I integrate your pets life into mine. I have a variety of treats and food on hand, but will follow whatever diet your dog needs. I also have the time for high energy dogs or dogs that need training through e-collars or etc. I also own lots of toys and a large crate, or litter box if need be. If you have any more specific questions please ask!

About: I have been around both cats and dogs my entire life. My mother bred English bulldogs, shelties, Lynx, and Persians since I was a child. I have also spent a few hundred hours studying behavior and training methods for both dogs and cats(yes cats can be trained too!). Currently doing Rover while the kiddo is in daycare. I'm available mon-fri 9am-5pm. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! Any questions feel free to ask! Well versed in handling dogs to insure the safety of your furry friends and myself during our walking adventures! Typically will bring treats or a small toy to get them to warm up to me(given owners permit it).
