“Colin always goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after the house! Most importantly, though, the cats love him, which is not a given with them - they tend to be shy around new people. I would definitely recommend Colin, and my husband and I plan to rebook in the future!”


“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!”


“I am so glad to have found Kari! She is extremely reliable and always responds quickly to booking requests. She always sends great pictures and I can tell that she truly enjoys and loves the pets that she cares for ! Thanks Kari!”


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.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, their loyalty, joy, and unconditional love are so special to me, and I treat every pup I care for like my child. I’ve always had a dog growing up. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide safe and fun times tailored to each pet's needs. Whether it's a relaxing stroll or a high energy adventure, I’m dedicated to making every time 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. 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 and if they are hesitant on meeting new people I don’t mind just giving them their time to warm up!

“Robert did a fantastic job doing check in visits with our dogs! He was very communicative and attentive, even making sure they they drank water after their walks. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m Keren — a dependable and caring dog lover with a super flexible schedule and a genuine passion for pups. I work part-time from home, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give your dog, whether it's for regular walks, drop-in visits, or a few hours of company during the day. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always tailor my care to match their energy and needs. I’m happy to stick to your dog’s routines, help reinforce basic training, or just give them a fun, safe break while you’re away. If you’re looking for a place your dog can relax for a few hours, I also have a pet-friendly home with a fenced backyard where they can stretch their legs, play, or just hang out in the fresh air. I know how important it is to feel confident when you leave your pet with someone else — so I make communication, reliability, and lots of photo updates a top priority. I'd love to meet you and your pup and learn how I can help! I'm currently working part time from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available 7 days a week for your dog walking / home visit needs. I have a fenced in back yard, and my own mini goldendoodle boy, who is happy to have a play buddy! Alternatively, I'm available to come to your place and take your dog out for a walk.

About: i’ve taken care of animals my whole life and grew up with many around. i love animals and have a passion for them. my friends and family rely on me for their support with taking care of their animals. the house that I pet sit at only has one dog. All of my other pets are at a different house so it wouldn’t interfere with anyone who is nervous to have all my animals around. i’m currently in school tuesdays and thursdays, and work a quick shift 3:30 until 530 on weekdays. i can drop by in between to check on your animals and take them for walks. i also do not work weekends so i would have more time your pets. i have a fenced in yard. i have three cuddly cats and two playful dogs that can keep your babies company. i also have a pool in case your babies like to go for a swim in the nice weather!

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.

“Melissa's drop-in visit was prompt for the time requested. The pups loved spending time with her and she provided super pictures of her visit. I can highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”


About: I’ve always had dogs and believe that they are the best part of life! I currently have a puppy and would love any opportunity to take care of yours! I would love to take care of your dog, cat, or whatever animal on weekends and week nights! I will have more flexibility in the summer! I feel comfortable going to others homes and others pets coming to mine! I have a puppy so my home is filled with doggie energy!

“Kathryn was a lifesaver when I had to be out of town and my usual dog sitter was not available! She was able to step in and take care of my pups at the last minute and took great care of them.”


“Julie took great care of our dogs while we were gone for a day, she took lots of pictures for their Rover card and they seemed to enjoy their walks and time with her :) She did everything I asked like separating them while feeding them and even left calming music on for them after she left since I had left it on for them when we left earlier, though I didn’t ask her to do this for them. We really appreciated her taking care of them for a bit for us and would definitely hire her again in the future if she wasn’t moving away!”


About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!

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.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a child, and for the past 7 years, I’ve been independently caring for them. From big to small breeds, I’ve handled a variety of dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve provided drop-ins for bathroom breaks, feeding (including dogs with allergies or specific requirements), and I’m always excited to take dogs for walks and hikes. I’m experienced with both skittish pups and energetic jumpers—jumping doesn’t bother me, and I know how to manage it safely. I’ve also cared for dogs with basic health needs like administering pills or shots. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly miss the companionship and bond that comes with spending time with a furry friend. I currently work 5 days in office. While I may not be able to stop in during the day, I have availability before and after work. I work between the hours of 8am-5pm, but I can be flexible based on your and your puppy’s need! I believe in the importance of meeting both the family and the dogs prior to sitting. This helps establish trust and ensures a smooth transition for both the pet and the family. I understand that it can be stressful for a dog to have a stranger in their home, so I like to take the time beforehand and allow the dog to become familiar with me.
