“Tara was great at communicating and gave excellent updates on our cat while we were out of town, allowing us to feel confident he was well taken care of- definitely recommend and will use her again!”


“Did stop in visits for my dog Gracie on my wedding weekend. She had never been boarded so rover seemed like a good idea. Ciara seemed to get along with Gracie when she came by to meet me and she sent at least 1 picture for each trip. She got there early to get Gracie out which was important since she was just coming off a bladder infection. I Will contact Ciara before my next trip and would be happy to have her watch gracie again.”


“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Daniel. He went above and beyond all of my expectations. He responded quickly to all of my messages and helped put my mind at ease. My cats absolutely adored him. I will absolutely be rebooking with Daniel if I ever have to leave town. I highly recommend him for all of your fur-babies needs.”


“Kumiko was a great sitter for my cat. Cleo is typically very shy and i’m glad to see she was so comfortable with Kumiko. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”


“Thank you for braving the cold weather! You’re always so punctual and reliable, no matter the weather! My pups and I appreciate your willingness to always take care of them while I’m away! Thank you!”


“Olivia was very consistent with her visits and spends time with them, which I really appreciate. I don't have to worry about the dog waiting longer than expected to go out while I'm away. She's very reliable! Nice detailed reports with lots of pictures.”


“Betsy was fantastic with our two cats while we were away for a week - we loved seeing photos of them each day, and we so appreciated her help. It was wonderful to know that they were in great hands and being cared for so lovingly.”


“I’ve been having Meilin do drop ins with my old puppet, Zoe, for 3 ish now and Meilin has been such a pleasure to work with! They communicate any issues or concerns about Zoe with me quickly and the couple times they were running later or earlier they let me know. I know Zoe can be a lot sometimes and I appreciate that I never had to worry about her when Meilin was watching her. I highly recommend booking Meilin for all your pet sitting needs especially if you have a senior doggo!! 💚”


“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”


About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“She’s the best. Emily really cares about our pets and treats both our home and animals so well. We can really count on her. Absolute professional and highly recommended!”


About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi! I have one really sweet golden retriever, she is almost three! We love too take long walks and find different parks too play! I would love to get the opportunity to meet your fur baby/babies! Feel free to reach out with any questions 😊 I’m working part time currently! So I have tons of free time to provide the best pet care! I’m free a lot of weekends and every morning and afternoon throughout the week! I take safety and trust in the clients home as my number one! I want nothing more than to get too know and take care of your fur babies in the safest and happiest way possible!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have 2 large super friendly dogs whom I’m obsessed with! It’s their world, I’m just living in it ;) I am a teacher no longer on summer break, so my availability is now mostly weekends. I work for JCPS, so have no issue traveling across the bridge. Available on the weekends, but can discuss week days. I have 2 very friendly dogs that will keep yours company. I will treat your baby like they are my own. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I never let mine out on their own. I have a rescue that I always take out on a leash, because I do not trust him to stay with me. I will also always keep yours on a leash. We go on a long walk in the mornings and evenings, with many potty breaks/short walks throughout the day.
