“Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!”
About: I have dog sit for 10+ families over the course of 8+ years! Not only do I treat your animals and home just like family, but I always try to make sure I leave your house in better condition than you left it! I do except house, chores and cleaning as well. Feel free to text me for any further information! I do currently work as an insurance agent from 9 to 5, but have flexible hours and can work from home if needed! If pet needs full 24 hour attention, please give me a notice for booking! I like to housesit for the comfort of your own pet! Not only with you being gone out of the house your furry friend in a new environment could stress them out a lot more. If your pet has any disabilities, or mental struggles, please give advance notice, so I can make sure your baby is properly taken care of!
About: I am a retired teacher who has rescued and raised both cats and dogs from 6 weeks old through their geriatric years. I am comfortable reinforcing puppy potty training and basic obedience skills while you are away. Pets with separation anxiety find me to be gentle and patient, and I am experienced in working with animals who have physical challenges. I guarantee your fur babies will be showered with love while in my care! As a multiple-pet mom, I know how expensive it can be when "additional pet" charges are added! That is why I charge the same price for check-ins (not including walks) up to 3 pets. Please note: I CANNOT accept assignments for dogs larger than 45 lbs. I have extensive availability on weekends, late afternoon/evenings, school breaks, and most holidays. My schedule during weekdays depends on whether or not I am substitute teaching on any given day. Safety is my number one priority! I will make sure your dog is comfortable and safe according to your instructions before finishing the assignment, and will make sure to keep you posted with photos so you will not be worried.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention | give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them rather than using a one size fits all approach. I'm experienced with dogs of different energy levels and personalities, including playful, high energy dogs as well as more laidback pups who prefer a quiet, relaxed environment. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and other instructions provided by their owners. I'm also patient with puppies who are still learning and happy to provide extra attention and structure to senior dogs who may need a slower pace or additional care. Most importantly, I treat pet sitting as more than simply stopping by to feed a dog. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm dependable, communicative, and will happily send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out while you’re away. I work from home, which allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. My schedule also gives me flexibility to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, whether they need frequent breaks, scheduled meals, medication, extra playtime, or simply someone nearby to make them feel comfortable. I enjoy having pets around while I work and am happy to make their care an important part of my day. Please no dropoffs before 8am and no pick ups after 8pm. Thank you 😊 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks without being exposed to traffic or other outdoor hazards. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and individual preferences. I keep a close eye on pets throughout their stay and make sure they have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat their space, belongings, and instructions with the same respect I would want for my own pets. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Note: If your pet is ill with a communicable sickness, please keep them home. I have two dogs in my home, and I greatly appreciate your understanding.
About: I have always put animals first in all aspects of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies and cats from kittens.

I also love volunteering at the local humane society and helping all kinds of animals as well as fostering animals too! I’m currently in school and have extra time to care for your treasured pets! I will always treat your pets like my own! I will always be available to tend to your pet and give them the love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly lab mix to keep your fur happy baby company! I also have a living area separated from my pets if need be and have the ability to crate if that is what your pet needs.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, and I've also had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends over the years—sometimes for several weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding,I'm dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Dog walking and boarding fit very well into my schedule. I work in the office from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and I'm home for the rest of the day, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. During the few hours I'm away, your dog will have the companionship of my friendly, well-socialized dog, so they won't be alone. Once I'm home, I'll be available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I live in a gated community which is extremely secure. We also have numerous huge dog parks in the community but I would only take the dogs when it is just them in the dog park, safety is the priority!

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans
About: I have watched both dogs and cats for as long as two weeks at a time. I pay attention to any and all details clients provide. I will send as many pictures/updates as requested!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and taking care of them is second nature. I see Rover as a way to interact & keep them in my life while not having one of my own at home. I already routinely take 1 to 2 walks during my day, so the addition dog walking or sitting fits rights into my daily schedule now. In your home, I am clean, orderly, and can clearly follow all instructions given. You will find your fur baby and your home better off than you left them before
