About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for them for over 8 years. For the past 2–3 years, I’ve regularly walked dogs at my college animal shelter. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with every animal I meet. I currently work a few mornings during the week, which leaves my afternoons and evenings free to care for your pets! I’m also available on weekends for dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I always prioritize comfort and safety, whether that means giving space or providing plenty of play. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of your home routine or training. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 including my own along with neighbors and friends animals. I have 2 dogs of my own as of today and have trained my one dog to even become an emotional support animal for those in need. i’m currently a college student and a student athlete.My availability consists on Mondays and Wednesdays after 1pm and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays before 5. Weekends differ based on times. I have 2 dogs myself that need lots of attention and love so it comes to me easily with taking care of any animal for me.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I was the kind of kid who was obsessed with dogs and begged my dad for a puppy! I’m happy to play with your dog and run around in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, always make sure they have enough food and water, and give them all the love and attention they ask for 😊 I’m currently working part time with a different schedule every week, but I have more than enough time to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve! While I can’t care for pets in my own home since I have a cat and a senior dog, I’m happy to care for your pet in their home! I want to be as respectful as possible in your home, so feel free to let me know any information I should know.

“Briana is literally the best cat sitter! She’s extremely kind, detailed, and reliable. You can tell she truly loves the pets she is helping to care for. We so appreciate her as a person!”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 13; I've always had an instinctual desire to love and care for animals! I had 3 dogs of my own once and during my time with them I realized how important it is to give your dog the exercise and attention they need so that they can live a happy and healthy life! Sometimes life can get too busy to give your dog what they need, I can help by giving them walks and visits when you're unable to! I work full-time mostly in the mornings! Some days I'm off and will be able to pop in for a visit or walk! I'm more probable to be available the whole week in the evenings and night times! Just message and ask for my availability! I can care for your pet by walking them around the neighborhood! I can feed your pet and also play with them with their favorite toys!
“Julia is a loving pet sitter and was very patient with our old dog. She has been here several times over the years with Nemi and Slate. She maybe new to Rover but definitely a very experienced caretaker. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Donna was great! We really needed somebody asap and it was hard to get what we wanted but she delivered! Its always stressful to leave your fur babies and have someone new in your home, but she made things stress free and made us very comfortable! 10/10 would get her services again! Thanks again Donna”

I have a 1 year old GSD mix that I usually walk every day at the local off-leash park. I have experience with clicker training and positive reinforcement training. I take my dog to the park in the mornings around 9am. I am otherwise available for walks or drop in visits for dogs and/or cats. I always try to make the dogs and cats I care for feel loved and engaged. I make sure to play with their favorite toys if specified and provide cuddle time after play sessions. I treat your animals as I would want my own to be looked after while I am away - with care and attention to detail.
