“Kim has done drop in visits for our dog a couple times now and has always done a fantastic job! Our dogs have a somewhat involved routine and Kim has been on top of it! We highly recommend her!”

About: I have cared for my coworker’s small dog and 2 cats over a long weekend (2 nights and three days). Pixie and I went for walks, and I made sure her food and water bowls were refilled and fresh and clean daily. I also kept the yard clean after her potty breaks! I am available for evening visits during the week and weekend, when you are in a pinch and need someone to take your dog for a walk and have a potty break. I am typically available weekday evenings after 5. I am available to travel to your home and care for your sweet pup where they feel most safe and comfortable! I can make sure your small dog is well-fed, walked, played with, and feels comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive, gentle, and always follow specific routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved.

“This was my first time using Rover for my 3 cats. 2 cats need medication. Yadi was responsible for 2 automatic litter boxes and 1 regular litter box, food, meds, and 2 water fountains. I was very pleased with her communication for every visit. I’ve already asked to rebook her!”


About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, their loyalty, joy, and unconditional love inspire me every day, and I treat every pup I care for like family. My dream is to open up a shelter and rescue all the babies that need a home and love. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to each pet's needs. Whether it's a relaxing stroll or a high energy adventure, I’m dedicated to making every walk a positive experience for your pup. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well being are my top priorities, ensuring they return home with a wagging tail and a happy heart. Let me help keep your best friend active and healthy :) I am working part time Monday-Wednesday as a dental assistant. I’ve been in the dental field for 10 years and want to spend my free time with animals. I am available Thursday, Friday's, and weekends as needed for your pup :) i can’t wait to meet them! I have a fenced in yard and love being outside. I will cuddle or go on an adventure with your babies until they are relaxed and happy.

“Maxine’s new friend Wren came and took Maxine for a walk and they played some frisbee..her favorite toy! Wren made a video of their adventures and it is adorable!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and even bears (yes, really). I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, and families have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter and a wildlife refuge, so I’m comfortable with all types of animals and their unique needs. I’m reliable, calm, and know how to handle both routine care and the occasional pet emergency. Whether it’s a weekend away or a two-week trip, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved the whole time. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate time to pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays. Pet care has always been a big part of my life, and I prioritize it in my daily routine. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and love. I live on 10 acres of open land, giving pets lots of space for calm outdoor time (always supervised), and a smaller fenced area with a shallow (40” depth) pool. I also have two sweet, cat-friendly cats and chickens, so I’m used to managing different types of animals. I’m trained in pet first aid, super reliable, and always follow care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment.

“Kassandra is amazing. She did such a great job taking care of our pup. We couldn’t of asked for anyone better”


“Stephanie is always so dependable and such a good caretaker of my furbaby. She always is so great with all of my specifics and detailed instructions, and always manages to get my shy boy to greet her at the door and come out to play (which says a lot!). Very thankful of Stephanie!”


About: I have taken care of fur-babies since I was about 10 years old and I took care of my neighbors pets during every vacation. Since then I have had many pets of my own and have continued caring for others pets in my spare time. I like to take the pups for walks and enjoy hanging out with the cats - if they're playful I like to throw their toys around and watch them run after them. I currently work fully from home so it's rather easy to take care of pets on my lunch break and again as soon as I get off. On the weekends I tend to go for a lot of hikes so if you have a pup I would be happy to take them with me. I also have a kitty backpack if your cat is the adventurous type! I will follow any instructions and care provided by you for your pup or kitten. I respect all training styles- if your pet is crate trained I will be sure to follow that, if they must be on a leash outside I will always follow that. When watching your fur-baby they will be my first priority.

About: My family currently has 4 dogs, we travel a lot and know how hard it is to find affordable and reliable boarding. We’re here to help with that, and plus having pets coming and going will help us resist the need to adopt more . My pack is a wild bunch, they jump, they play rough sometimes, they put each other in their place. It’s not for everyone so let me know if it’s too much. I won’t be offended. There is someone always at home because I work from home. We go outside every 2 hours and throw the ball around d and play in the backyard. I would much rather care for pets in my home only. My home is safe and pet friendly, and I know pets would love it here.

“Thank you for looking after our pet even with short notice on a holiday weekend!”

I have training in choking procedures and how to safely and effectively break up dog fights, which means your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and playtime!

I recently graduated from Graduate School and moved to the area. I am looking for a job and am available to work full-time, caring for your pets.

About: Hello! My name is Ashton, and I am thrilled to offer my services to fellow dog lovers. I am a professional dog trainer, a milestone that reflects my dedication to understanding and supporting dogs of all kinds. As a proud owner of three amazing dogs, my home is always filled with wagging tails and boundless energy! My Wheaten Terrier puppy keeps me on my toes with endless curiosity, my Olde English Bulldog charms me with his affectionate personality, and my Pit Bull mix has taught me the importance of patience and specialized care, as he has experienced dog-aggressive behaviors. Each of my dogs has enriched my understanding of canine needs and individual personalities. Beyond my personal pack, I’ve been surrounded by dogs for over five years through friends and family, each bringing unique experiences to my journey. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior companions, I approach every dog with immense love and patience. I’m here to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your furry friends. Rest assured, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. Let’s make tails wag together! I have time on my hands to walk/check in on your wonderful dogs, due to me being a dog trainer! I take my pack on a walk in the mornings before I get started with my day. The only days I am unavailable to walk or check in is Wednesday and Sunday. (I am around but it's important for me to have those days when I can to spend with my Fiance.) When checking on pets, whatever is requested from the owner will be done (feeding, potty break, etc.) with cuddles and love also being given if the pets are willing. For walking dogs, if there are any specific routines I just ask you let me know so I can keep your dog happy and fulfilled. Also poop bags will always be brought so we can keep any location clean. When boarding I will have them in a crate whenever I leave the house. I will also bathe them if the owner requests for any dog who is staying for longer than a week. The dogs well-being and happiness is my top priority.

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary hospital for over five years. I’ve had the experience of working with dogs and cats with all different temperaments. I’ve also had the privilege of working with a large variety of species. Due to my prior experience, I also I am completely comfortable administering any medication‘s pets may need. I work full-time throughout the week from 8 AM to 6 PM. Around these times I’m able to watch/walk pets. If owners would like for me to stay at their residence, I can stay with the animal after these hours. I am completely available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I would be willing to continue any training that owners have began with their pet. This includes walking on leash, animals being crated, and mediated interactions between pet mates.

About: As a dog-owner myself and caretaker for other's dogs in the past, I can be trusted to provide the best possible care for your pets! I am a local high school senior currently on summer break and have an open schedule. I have my driver's license and personal transportation means. I provide care based on your requests and your dog’s needs. The services I have completed in the past include: providing food/water, medications, exercise, play, and general enrichment.

She's gentle, respectful of each pet’s unique personality, and knows how to balance affection with boundaries. She’s no stranger to Churus or other pet treats and will happily play with your pet if they need some fun or stimulation. Plus, she’s tidy, reliable, and never afraid to get her hands dirty. As a bonus, you might even get a little drawing of your pet (she’s a talented artist too!). Anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter.”

Alyssa G.
“As Alyssa prepares to begin graduate school to become a veterinarian, I can say with total confidence that she is exactly the kind of person you’d want caring for your pets. At just 20 years old, she already brings a rare mix of responsibility, compassion, and deep knowledge of animal care. Alyssa currently works full time at a veterinary hospital, where she’s gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. Her natural connection with pets is undeniable, and it’s backed by real clinical experience. Whether she’s walking a high-energy pup or caring for an older dog with specific needs, she approaches each situation with patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals. She’s not just a pet sitter—she’s a future veterinarian in training, and it shows in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and capable to care for your furry family member, I can’t recommend Alyssa highly enough. — Dave Godlewski”
