About: I've had dogs off and on my whole life, and currently have two of my own. They're 5 and 2, and they make all my days brighter and more fun. In the past I've also sat for my sister's dog, and helped to care for friends' and roommates' animals. I love hanging out, walking, and playing with pups, and I'm always happy to meet a new one! I currently work part-time from home, and have very open availability. I walk my own dogs at least once a day, but other than that I can make it work with almost any schedule. My dogs have open roam of my house, and have spots they like to lay and relax in most rooms. They love to wrestle and play tug of war, so we do that inside or they love to run around the back yard. I feed them a mix of dry and canned food, with treats or sometimes food scraps. They're happy, healthy, and help to keep me the same.

“Kaitlyn provides outstanding care for my puppy. My work schedule is all over the place and she has been very flexible and consistent on my work days to make sure my pup is taken care of. I am a repeat customer. As long as she is available, Kaitlyn is the one my puppy and I choose!!! Cannot thank her enough. The gratitude is endless.”


About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats from a very young age and always had a deep love for animals. I’ve had puppies, kittens, senior cats and dogs and cats with special medical needs. I’m currently working full time however I am available early mornings before work, afternoons after work, evenings, overnights and weekends. I have plenty availability to do what I love during non work hours I’ll stick to your routine from walks, meals, and medication if needed. I’ll make sure the litter box is scooped and clean, and that the water and food bowls are clean for all animals. I’ll snuggle and play with the animals and give them love, affection and attention to ensure they are happy and at ease. I always follow directions so if you leave a detailed list it will be followed.

“I can't say enough about Christine and her willingness to help and care for my animals. I was so very worried to leave Caesar, my 15 y.o. dog who has hearing and sight issues, at home without me. Christine did her best to make my guys feel comfortable and loved!! My cat, Mahzick feel in love with her .<3 She was very timely each day, with her check-ins, which I noted on the app. and sent me many photos ( which eased my mind) every time she dropped in. My pets looked happy and I know they were!! When I arrived home, I noticed that she left me a "Welcome Back Mommy" note from the pets, on the door. :) She even washed some dishes that I had left in the sink!! SO sweet!! I couldn't be more appreciative of Christine and how she took all of my anxiety away. I had no worries at all. I would definitely have Christine help me again with Caesar and Mahzick. Thank you...Woof & Meow..”

I’m about to retire after a fulfilling 35-year career, and I’m excited to focus my time and energy on what I love most: caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising two incredibly active dogs—a border collie for 12 years and a greyhound for 3.

I understand the unique needs of active dogs and how to create a safe and stimulating environment for them. My home is the perfect playground for your pup.

About: I’ve always been around animals my entire life. I’ve also help walked my neighbors dog and also also had my own dog. I also have fed and bathe dogs/cats before. Using me as a walker will insured you that I will treat your pet like my own family. I’m currently available every day with a very flexible schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m working to build pet care into my full-time routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and helping families feel supported and stress-free while they’re away. Pet care is something I take seriously, and I’m ready to commit to it long-term. Since I only offer drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure your pet feels safe and respected in their own familiar space. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, and routines. I’m mindful of locking doors, cleaning up after pets, and creating a calm, stress-free atmosphere during each visit.

“Alyssa was wonderful with Fenwick! She fed him, walked him and played ball with him. He was happy in her care while I was gone all day. She was totally dependable. Also very flexible and willing.”


“First time using Rover and Julie. Julie arrived on time and followed my detailed instructions to a tee. My door keypad lock let me know when Julie had arrived and we communicated several times via text. She gave my cat his expected afternoon treat and she spent time with him in addition to food, water and litter. I will definitely use her again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”


About: Hi, my name is Meghan! I’m a board certified veterinary technician, and I currently work as a veterinary nurse at a dog/cat only hospital. I have been in the veterinary field for 2 years. I previously worked at a dog daycare, and I was a dog and cat pet sitter in my neighborhood while in school. I enjoy working with different breeds and personalities. Additionally, I am confident in medication administration, and I have experience with special needs furry friends. I have a german shepherd and tabby cat of my own. My passion has always been caring for animals, so I will ensure the best care for your fur baby! I currently work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday overnight. I am usually available at any time from Monday to Thursday. Being that I work 3 12 hour night shifts, I am not available at all on weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am available to pet sit at your home. I will follow instructions that are given to me and respect your home as if it were my own.

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
