About: I’ve always loved helping take care of animals! I have dogs of my own and I help my family and friends with their animals as well! I have mostly helped with dogs but I have helped take care of a few cats as well for my friends! Anywhere from staying with them, walking them, or just spending time with them! I will be sure to love your fur babies like I do my own! So I currently work full time at the hospital on night shift! My schedule is always different so it will make it harder to stay nights! But I can easily fit in walking, letting them out, feeding them, and loving on them! If your dogs were to stay with me I do have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs to keep them company and play with! I could crate them if needed as I do crate my own dogs when I am not home! Me and my cousin so let our dogs sleep in the beds with us and we do let them on the furniture! We also have multiple toys that they can play with as well!

7. John S.
“John was great! He dropped in on our pup throughout the weekend and went above and beyond, even walked him in rain. One of the best Rovers we have ever used and it gave us the piece of mind to enjoy our trip.”
8. Elicia F.
“Elicia was amazing with our 8 year old, shy Great Dane. This was my first time using the app and allowing someone to care for our baby. She updated us with photos every time she checked in, she updated us with how she was doing. Communication was amazing. I was very nervous & she for sure put my mind at ease & was so nice and understanding. I will be booking her again in the future everytime I can.”
9. Theo D.
“I would highly recommend booking Theo as a pet sitter! They were very attentive and wonderful at communicating with us while we were away. Couldn't ask for more! Theo made it easy to relax while traveling, knowing that my cat was in good hands. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was well taken care of.”
10. Megan M.
“We needed a sitter for three hours for our dog Billie while we were in town briefly for an evening concert. I highly recommend Megan and couldn't have been more pleased with the great care she provided. Her playful lab pup and Billie got along wonderfully. Megan was very responsive and friendly.”
11. Zoe T.
“Zoe is the best. I don't want to say too much for fear we won't be able to get her for the next .”
12. Madison H.
“Madison is a very attentive and lover pet care taker. She will make your pet feel at home and like they are apart of the family. Your dog will go on fun adventures and pictures will be sent regularly. You won’t regret it!”
13. Jasmine T.
About: Hi, I am fairly new in the doggy business but in the beginning of my life, we had a family dog and that was my very first experience with pets. I have pet-sitted my neighbors dog starting 4 years ago and I decided to finally get a puppy of my own named Nugget and he is a chill, sweet yorkie poo that loves attention and keeps me on my toes. I absolutely love pets in general but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I am currently working part time during the weekdays and most weekends. However, I am flexible with hours so feel free to ask lots of questions and open means of communication about my accommodations to your pup. I live in an apartment with an open yard (no fence) with a playground/track to walk my dog and yours as well! We will have lots of walks and potty breaks during the day and there will always be someone in my household (spouse or myself) keeping close watch to your pups. Also, I have a sweet dog who loves to play and will keep your baby company at all times. I can also crate your puppy if you would like so there is no need to bring one of your own, unless you absolutely insist on doing so.
14. Ashley M.
“Ash is absolutely wonderful with my animals. I never have to worry when she’s with them and she’s a great communicator so I always know what to expect.”
15. Ajia W.
About: Hello there! I'm very excited to take care of your four-legged family member. I'm a part time online college student, so I am home most of the time. I love dogs since I was a child, and would help anybody if they weren't able to or didn't have the time. I'm very adventurous, and I love to walk. So your pet will absolutely get it's daily exercise in and will never get bored. I treat all the dogs I care for like they are my own, so everybody will feel the love as soon as they enter my home. I’m very informative so if you want daily information on your pet and what has happen each day while your dog is my care I’m glad to offer.
16. Courtney G.
“Courtney is great with all pets and is very professional. She is reliable, consistent and eager to care for pets. It’s clear that she not only loves animals, but understands their needs. I highly recommend her!”
17. Emilie H.
“Emilie was great! Communicated well and sent lots of pictures. She really spent time playing with our sweet dog and was thoughtful of our home while we were gone.”
18. Taylor C.
About: I’ve always had a love for all animals since I was a child. I’m here to make sure your pet is well taken care of at all times! I’m currently a stay at home mom raising two children, I’m available whenever you need me! Your fur baby will receive lots of love in my home! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly shihtzu puppy to keep your fur baby company! I can keep your pet in a crate if needed.
