About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind from old to young since I was little. I have watched family dogs, and friends dogs both in the comfort of my own home and gone to spend the night at their houses. I’ve also trained my own dogs throughout the years, including potty training, simple commands, and crate training. I am currently working part-time at my job and stay home with my son. I am mainly home except for the weekends. And on the weekends, my husband will be home to help out. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one dog of my own who is super friendly and very energetic so she will exercise your dog in our front yard. She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.

About: I have over 25 years of experience watch dogs. The last two years I have been working with the See Eye Foundation as a Puppy Sitter. I sit for puppies 8 weeks to 13 years old, for a single day to over a week. I also have a 12 year-old English Fox Hound that likes to take me on walks/runs daily I am currently retired and this leave me plenty of time to take care of your dog. I am an avid runner and cyclist, so walking or even running with your dog is not a problem I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a 3-acre property where dogs can roam and run. I do have a 120 foot leash that lets the dogs run without fear of them running away. If your dog likes to play fetch or just do a lot of exploring, the yard is ideal for them. I am also available to do multiple daily check ins and walks if the dog prefers to stay at home.

Shannon was an exceptional cat sitter for our cat, Ghost! She was prepared and was incredibly thorough at our first meeting. She asked important questions and took notes to ensure she had all the info she needed prior to starting the job. For every visit with Ghost she provided check in summaries as well as photos of him. Usually when we go away for a period of time Ghost is anxious or skittish when we get back - but when we came home from this trip, Ghost was as happy as ever! Shannon clearly took great care of him while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough - she was amazing!!

About: Part time remote worker here who is able to give all the care and love your furry friends need while you're away. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years — everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs and curious kittens. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I take pride in adapting my care to each one. Insured and bonded for your pet's protection! For cats, I bring 13 years of first hand experience as a devoted cat mom, including caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and love. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, monitoring appetite and hydration, and creating a calm environment that keeps pets feeling safe and loved. I’ve also worked with rescue animals and shy pets who need extra time to warm up. My calm, nurturing energy helps them build trust quickly. Whether it’s a long walk, gentle play, brushing sessions, or making sure litter boxes are fresh and spotless, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. When I’m pet sitting, I make sure each visit gets my full attention. I build my days around your pet’s routine — whether that means early morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening feedings and cuddles. I love the calm rhythm of spending time with animals and giving them consistent care and affection. I’ve spent over 15 years caring for animals of all ages and temperaments — from playful puppies and kittens to calm senior pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s care plan closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication needs. Dogs enjoy plenty of exercise and positive attention, while cats receive patient care, a clean litter box, and affection at their own pace. I’m experienced in recognizing behavioral or appetite changes and responding with gentle attention and communication. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a tidy environment, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are safe and well cared for.

I’ll play, brush, communicate with them with a lot of love and care. I presently care for friends’ dogs and have taken care of cats as well.

Taking care of pets Is how I interact with these precious beings now. I hope to be able to have my own pet again some day. My last dog was a Springer Spaniel named Luna. She was so loving, smart and active. She was a part of our family. When my son was born, she slept under his crib. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have and will follow your directions and preferences. Safety for your pet is also a priority of mine. I work during the week. I'm available for pet sitting on weekends. I can also pet/house sit. My work schedule can be flexible for that. I can work from your home and take care of your pets. I will pet them, play games with them, if the yard is fenced or has an electric fence, in I can play frisbee outside and other fun games for exercise.

About: Help me, help YOU! I’m a working professional with a fully remote schedule who picked up Rover as the world’s best side hustle… because if money were no object, I’d probably spend most of my time around dogs anyway. There’s something genuinely therapeutic about caring for animals, getting outside, and helping both pets and their humans feel less stressed. Thankfully, remote work gives me the flexibility to build my days around the pets I care for instead of squeezing them into a rigid schedule. One of the biggest advantages of working remotely is that I’m able to offer much more flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and last-minute requests when life gets chaotic. Whether you’re traveling, stuck in meetings, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your dog like they’re their own. I’m very active and love going on walks or runs with high-energy dogs who need to burn energy and stay stimulated. For calmer pups, I’m equally happy hanging out at home, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always the same: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed dog who feels loved and well cared for. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. Every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Any breed, size, age, or special request, I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. I know how personal it is trusting someone with your pet and your home, and I don’t take that lightly. I do my absolute best to work around your schedule while keeping your dog’s comfort, care, and safety as the top priority. I treat every booking professionally, communicate clearly, and try to provide the kind of experience I’d personally want for my own pet someday. I genuinely love animals and want both you and your dog to feel comfortable from the start. Trust is earned, and I believe consistency matters. I show up on time, follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and care for every pet with patience and attention. Thank you for checking out my profile, I’d genuinely love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! I try my absolute best to work around your schedule with your dog’s comfort, care and safety as my top concern. I treat every client as if they were my own pet and wouldn’t accept a booking request if I knew I couldn’t meet my own high expectations of care. Trust is earned. That’s why I treat every client and home with respect and integrity. This means carrying out a client request as a professional, acting as if the owners were flies on the wall writing my review in real-time.

Emily did a fantastic job dropping in for my cat Mika while I was away. She made sure to send me daily updates and pictures with how Mika was doing. Mika is typically hides while visitors are in the house, but over they days she warmed up to Emily and gladly accepted treats. I will most certainly use Emily again to watch over Mika.
