About: I have a Chihuahua Yorkie mix and a Schnauzer mix so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and I will give your dog the attention they need! I really enjoy training with dogs and can reinforce or begin any training that you would like me to! I have experience training dog agility, nose work, fun attention games, and many different positive reinforcement techniques for different dogs. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, so I am very familiar with avoiding triggers, counter conditioning, and have taken classes on managing reactivity! Our other dog is a tripod, and became so through multiple surgeries while we had him, so I have experience working with dogs with different mobility needs and during surgery as well. I love to spend my nights and weekends cuddled on the couch with dogs or walking around new places, and I'll happily incorporate your dog into whichever they prefer, or both! I have a flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walking, playing with, or cuddling your dogs just like I would mine! I prefer to take care of your dog in their known environment so that they can stay comfortable. I will do my best to stick as closely to your routines as possible so that they know what to expect. However, we will add some fun, so that they have a great vacation too!

“Alec and Zoe were amazing! Spent time and played with our kitty, sent us updates, and were so easy to communicate with. Will absolutely use again!”

“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life. I grew up with both small and large dogs with all kinds of different needs. Truly, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs which I’m patient and willing to understand. As an adult I’ve owned/lived with 3 small dogs (pug, 2 cavalier King Charles spaniels) and a cat so I’m fully capable of taking care of multiple animals at once. I’ve cared for both my cavaliers from puppy through their seniors years including one being in a wheel chair his last year of life so I have experience with dogs in all years of their life. My cat was adopted as kitten so also familiar with cats during all years of life. Over the years I’ve done pet sitting and walked dogs for friends and neighbors in addition to my own pets. My work schedule is flexible with a blend of in person and remote work so we can discuss a schedule that fits your pets needs. Safety, trust, and respect are extremely important to me. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and maintain a calm, safe environment. I treat every home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe clear communication builds trust, so I provide regular updates and photos and am always available if you need to reach me. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.

About: I’ve owned my dog for 8 years and have volunteered at dog shelters as a dog walker for over 7 years. I have also completed Pat Miller’s Level 1 dog training academy. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog. I use force free training with my dog, so I’m not comfortable with choke/prong/shock collars. I use positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 and have a Beagle who lives at my parents’ house. He’s 17 now so I have experience with older dogs. My boyfriend’s family has a small toy poodle who we have dog sat multiple times. Additionally, I have done dog walking for pets in the area. I usually take them out during my lunch break for a stroll around the block! I work from home everyday. My schedule on Monday’s and Fridays is typically pretty open. I am around most weekends so I have flexibility. My boyfriend, who also loves dogs works from home 2-3X per week so your pooch will get a lot of attention! Since I am currently in an apartment, smaller to medium sized dogs would be best. We also have a small balcony which dogs tend to love. Bonus: we have turf grass on there so they love it even more.

“Isela was great! Very communicative, and our dog Kilala looked very happy during her visits. Also, she took really good pictures during check ins! Thank you Isela!”

“Cannot recommend Samantha enough. My lastest booking was a last minute emergency and she had no hesitation in booking. I never have to worry when Samantha is there.”

Alexis Z.

“Rachel is great! I’ve booked with her several times by now, and she’s always incredibly responsive, sending detailed updates and photos with every visit. When I travel, I always feel comfortable knowing my cat will be taken care of when she’s dropping by!”

Manisha I.

“Jessie was absolutely incredible, stopping in every day for a week to play with and take care of our two cats! She gave thoughtful updates and lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Her communication was great and you can tell she’s very detailed oriented. She even let us know our smoke alarm battery was dying and we were able to contact maintenance to get it fixed while we were away. I highly recommend booking her for a reliable sitter!!”

Callie S.

“Erin was very sweet and attentive when it came to taking care of my dog Cheerio. She made sure to know his routine and regularly updated me during drop-ins. Her communication was consistent and made me feel confident that he was being well taken care of.”

Arianna T.

“Again, Rachel was fantastic. We didn't have to worry about our pets at all while she cared for them, she's super responsive, and I'm thrilled we found her!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up surrounded by dogs, I always knew I’d have one of my own someday. In 2023, I adopted my sweet girl, Okie, and she’s been my best friend ever since! I raised and trained Okie myself, and she’s grown into such a loyal, loving, and well-behaved companion. Having her has only deepened my love for dogs and taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding their individual personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their little quirks! Whether your pup is full of energy and loves a good adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed stroll, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and will always prioritize your dog’s happiness and safety. As a dog mom myself, I know how much our pets mean to us, and you can trust that I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! As a dog mom myself, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life! I’m used to planning my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure my pup gets plenty of attention. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so incorporating extra walks and quality time with furry friends into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to! My schedule is pretty flexible Monday-Friday, so I can accommodate with your time. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry best friend is in good hands! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure each dog feels loved and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routines, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. I’ll always respect your care instructions, stay attentive to their behavior, and happily send photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

“Jonathan was great. He took very great care of Duke. He is very responsive and left great updates after every walk. I look forward to letting Jonathan watch after Duke in the future. Thanks Jonathan!”

“Karalynn is fantastic! She goes above and beyond to help us and our dogs absolutely love her. She has been super flexible with the my crazy schedule and has always left our house/pups better than she found them. I am so very grateful that we found her on Rover—Karalynn is a true lifesaver! 🤗🩷”

Christine L.

“Jaylyn did an amazing job taking care of Athena! She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the entire time I was away. It was clear that Athena was well cared for and comfortable with her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated the level of care and attention Jaylyn gave Athena. She went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of and kept me informed about how she was doing. I would absolutely trust Jaylyn with Athena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely attentive to their pet. Thank you again, Jaylyn, for taking such great care of Athena!”
