About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!
“What an amazing service! And specifically Mary Beth was exceptional. This is my first time using a dog walking service, so I was apprehensive at first. Mary Beth called me on arrival, and walked Theodore for almost thirty minutes (despite the fact that I was unaware that it was pouring rain!), and took two sweet pictures of him while she was there. I will definitely be using Rover and Mary Beth in the future.”
“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I am an EMT-b and am working on my RBT certification, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

Caira M.
“I am delighted to recommend Caira as an exceptional dog walker. She has been walking my dog(s) for an few years and I can confidently say that she is one of the most reliable, caring, and professional individuals I’ve ever entrusted with my pet’s care. From the first meeting, it was clear that Caira has a natural connection with animals. She quickly built trust with my poodle Gerti who can be a bit nervous with new people" or "high-energy and excitable"]. Caira handled every situation with patience, confidence, and kindness, always putting my dog’s well-being first. She is consistently punctual, communicative, and attentive to detail. I really appreciate the updates she sends after each walk—often including photos and thoughtful notes about how things went. It's a small touch that reflects the genuine care she puts into her work. Caira has become a valued part of our routine, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible dog walker. Your dog will be in excellent hands with her. Sincerely, Leslie”
