“Kali was wonderful! Took Norman for a walk while I ran into campus for a meeting. She was right on time, and very sweet with Norman. He’s definitely a puller and she did great walking him. He was clearly sad to see her go. Would absolutely use Kali again!”

“Bob was quick to respond and made the process easy!”

About: Over 12 years professionally caring for dogs, and I’ve owned them for 30 years. Professional dog groomer, nail care and light clipper clean ups available. I’m a professional pet groomer working to get my in-home grooming service going. In the meantime, I’m doing gig work, which means the most flexible schedule to make it work for you. Excellent at following instructions and communication. I believe in positive reinforcement training and responses to behavior. I’m extremely strong due to my job, and will have no problem handling any size dog with any behavior level. I am well versed in dog body language and psychology.

“Stacey was great!! She even spent extra time with Stanley.”

“Karly was wonderful with my little dog and very professional about the walk! You can tell she takes the job seriously and really cares about the dogs she walks.”

About: I have had pets ever since I was born and love nothing more than quality time with animals! I am a college student looking for some much needed time away from the books and surrounded by pets. I currently have classes on Monday and Wednesdays and am looking to spend time caring for fur babies every other day of the week! I absolutely adore all types, sizes, ages, of pets and want to help you and your family out in any way I can. I am available throughout the weekdays to help let your dog out, take them on walks, feed them, and so much more! I also have experience washing dogs if needed.

“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was young and have always loved spending time with animals. I also worked at a dog daycare where I gained hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. I learned effective training techniques for puppies and how to care for senior dogs with extra needs. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I'm currently a student living on campus, but I’ll be available for long-term pet care starting in June. Over the summer, I’m open to dog-sitting, boarding, and house-sitting for extended periods, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide flexible, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and tailored to their needs and routines. I pay close attention to any instructions provided, from feeding and medication to favorite toys or walk times. I also prioritize trust and communication by keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being a calming presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I have experience with every kind of dog! Puppies, senior dogs, I am also used to administering medication to dogs. I have been working as a k9 coach for the past year! I am super patient, kind, and understanding I have a super flexible schedule! I am very open to anything last minute. I can do multiple walks a day as well! I am also more than happy to just stay the whole day if house sitting! I would say my animals are so spoiled! I am very gentle. I am someone who believes that yelling at an animal won’t do anything. So I would say I have a very gentle but effective approach.

“Thoughtful and attentive to our two dogs and their unique needs!”

About: Dogs and cats have always been at the heart of my family and so I would love to help people take care of their furry family members as well! I have wanted to be a veterinarian for most of my life and currently am in school studying Wildlife Ecology. I also volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific where I am furthering my knowledge about animals as well as helping to pursue my passion for conservation and the environment. Animals are the center of my social, educational and professional world and so I am so happy to help out other animal-loving families through Rover! My family has many animals and so when I wake up in the morning, the first think I do is feed the animals and take the dogs out to walk! I also end my day taking care of my pets. Fitting in walks, check-ins and house visits will fit very smoothly into my daily routine. In fact, the only times I limited availability for Rover are the times I volunteer regularly at the Aquarium of the Pacific. In the homes of my clients I will ensure that the animals feel as at home and comfortable as possible. Knowing that animals are deeply aware of the absence of their owners, I want to make sure I stick to the usual routine of my clients. The comfort of the animals is my top priority and so I will closely listen to and abide by the schedule of my client. I will also make sure the animals are receiving as much attention as they desire so as to remind them they are loved and haven't been left behind or alone.

About: Since the 90s I have been a continuous pet mom. Before that I grew up with animals of all sorts and have such deep love for them. Once I was able to adopt my own I started a legacy. From Kingu, a liver spotted Dalmatian and her daughter Chiquita (banana at times) I helped to birth along with 8 other puppies; for a short while my sweet kitty and vagabond Puti; adding a guinea pig living with us for 8 years named Pomi; the most loving Zoe the cockatiel, who loved to jump into the shower for a steam bath and various fish varieties in a colorful aquarium; you name it, we had it! My daughter and I created a home full of life and love shared for many years. I continued to rescue Vedder Bear the Chesapeake bay retriever needing special care for diabetes and lastly my sweetest Moumou, a pit terrier mix who turned 16 years of age. She has passed away a few months ago and my heart is sore and I am not quite ready for a new pet! However, I have a calling to be of help for all the pet moms and dads out there and share my love for our four/ three/ two legged family members! As of 2025 I can also add chicken whisperess to my profile! What a joy!! I hope to soothe your mind and heart while you are away from your beloved family member. <3 I have an online Vintage store and am an Artist. Both are great passions and loves of mine! I work from home and I have a mostly flexible schedule, which allows me to open up time for another angle of my passions, my love for animals. It makes me happy as I am a nurturer by nature! ;-) Frankly, it is purely selfish to care for pets! I love animals, they get my attention the minute I am around them, because their presence is special. I added as a safety precaution, a personalized “Sitter” collar tag, your pet will wear while with me. It is meant to be just in case! Recently, I had a dog from Texas here and I realized that if any out-of-town dog especially would ever get loose/ lost, I would want them to be found with a local phone number. However, this is not something I expect to happen, but I just want to make sure! ☺️ I added the look of the tag in my pictures. If the pooches are in my vehicle for a ride. I have dog seat belts (x2) I use. Each one is special! I can't help myself! I feel into the needs of each animal. Playful to shy, young to old, special needs or easy peasy. I adapt to what their mom/dad want me to tend to, as well as nurture their unique personality. What certainly helps is heaps of experience with my own pets as well as pets of others I cared for ;-) My house is tailored for dogs, as I up until recently had my dog Moumou here with me. In my photos section, you can see some images of the back yard and house. ;-) As an additional safety precaution I have an especially made "dog sitter tag" I put on the collar while your pet is with me. Even though I do not anticipate any issues, I want to assure they are easily identified.

“Emily did a great job taking care of our Shiba Inu on short notice. Our dog is a bit skittish, and Emily was very patient. She even kept an eye on our cats.”

“Olivia took great care of our dog Lily. She went out of her way to meet us ahead of time to make sure Lily was comfortable with her. Olivia was also great in making sure Lily had everything she needed after/during her walks.”
