About: Hi there! We are experienced dog lovers with a passion for providing the best care possible for your furry friend. We have been caring for our own dog since he was just 6 months old, and have experience with training, administering medication, and working with reactive dogs. In addition to caring for our own pup, we have also lived with and assisted in caring for dogs for several years. Our loving and attentive care will ensure that your dog feels right at home with us. Choose us as your Rover sitters and rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands. We can't wait to meet your furry friend! One of us works from home full-time, while the other is in grad school, so someone is always around to keep your dog company. Our dog goes outside for potty breaks 5 times a day, and long walks and sniff time are a regular part of our routine. Your dog will have plenty of exercise and stimulation while staying with us. Our two-bedroom apartment has plenty of space for dogs to run and play. We will treat your dog just like our own, providing them with the attention and affection they deserve.

About: Just starting out on this site and looking to build my client base, so my rates are low! I have been sitting for animals since I was 12 years old-- cats, dogs, puppies, lizards... I love animals and have a cat of my own, but I love being able to play with dogs. I'd love to care for your dogs and be their friend while you're away! I can walk them, take them to a dog park, and make sure they are fed and cared for. I have a car so I can come to you, if needed. I'll provide daily photos and videos.

I'd be happy yo take your furry friends hiking or to the beach and fill their days it lots of fun!
“Rebecca is awesome! She is timely and was great with our dog, who looked forward to his walks with her. Very nice person. Rebecca was filling in for us while our usual walker was away, but I’d easily hire her full time. Highly recommend and if our usual walker is ever away, I will hire again immediately!”

“Danielle is prompt, reliable and generally all around great with my dog. I am always at ease knowing she will be the one to care for my dog. When my dog was acting distraught- Danielle was able to go early in the day and help her. It really eased my mind when I was at work and couldn’t get back in time.”
