About: I have personally owned dogs as long as I can remember. From Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I have dog sat numerous times, between boarding at my house and house sitting at a client’s home. I’m a true dog-lover at heart. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. They are the most loving and most loyal. They really are better than most people! Lol. I have a sweet, energetic, laid-back, one and a half year old mini poodle. I also have a 3 year old hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal and likes to keep to himself, pets don’t interact with him. He’s caged in my room and will be out of the way. I also have experience in taking care of senior dogs including: administering meds, feeding picky eaters, helping with potty breaks, helping with walks, etc. I have personally trained all of the dogs that I have owned. I have lots of puppy experience and don’t believe in “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” as I have also trained older dogs that I have rescued. I currently work from home and I am usually off by late afternoon/early evening. I can be home with your baby. We can play and take as many potty breaks as needed. I also don’t work on the weekends and like to fill my weekends up with fun activities! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood to go on walks. Your doggo would have complete freedom of the house (as long as I’m home, of course). Doggies are allowed on the furniture and allowed to sleep with me. If they are crate trained, of course that’s okay too.


“Melissa is great! She has been sending me wonderful updates about me pup and spends lots of time playing with her while they are on their walks. My go to!”


“Excellent! Zoe was so great with my baby”


About: I have a lot of experience with various animals besides dogs and cats. I also have worked with live stock, lizards and exotics. I worked at a massive boarding kennel were I learned to administrate various medications pills and insulin shots, learned basic training techniques, and over all general care for domestic animals. From this experience I started my own pet sitting business which I did off and on for a few years. Then pick up some business for a little extra cash in dog walking and pet sitting. I have taken a break from that to raise my daughter and become more established at my current job, but miss working with animals and would like to get back to helping those I can. I mainly would like to assist in dog walking, but if some pet sitting needs to be had, I'd be more than happy to assist there as well. I found from working in the boarding kennel, many dogs do find it more comfortable in a home setting then a kennel. I do work full time, M-Th 6:30 to 5 pm. I can take in 1 to 2 dogs in my home during this time, I do have a dog door and do come home for an hr for lunch. I do have a dog, so any dogs in my home would need to get along with mine. However, I can do dog walking in the evenings on Thursdays starting at 6 pm to 8 pm during summer months. Otherwise Fridays and weekends are best. Any time Friday, though occasionally I may not be available in the afternoons due to dropping off my daughter, Sat I can be available anytime, and Sunday Mornings and Evenings are best. Some afternoons are available if I don't have to pick up my daughter. I have a dog door with a 4 ft fence and a 6 ft fence on the sides separating my neighbors and I. If your dog is playful, I have a very playful and submissive dog. I'm very respectful of other peoples space and am great at communicating the needs of the owner for their pet. I'm accustomed to following written instructions and do like to meet ahead of time to meet the pet and go over feeding and/or medication instructions. I may have my 5 year old daughter with me, however, if the animal does not do well with children, please communicate that so no incidences happen. If I cannot have my daughter around, will be harder for me to commit to any sort of sitting or walking.

About: I've been caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I've trained puppies since I was little, and when I got my Golden Doodle, I did three years of dog training through 4-H. Those years gave me a load of hands on time with dogs of all temperament and training levels. I've cared for a lot of different animals, at varying levels of needed attention, from dogs and cats, to birds and reptiles, even horses and livestock. I love spending time with animals, whether hooved, pawed, or scaled, and I'd love to care for your pets like they're my own :) I am currently unemployed, and love being around dogs, so I have more than enough time to play with and spend time with your pups! I have a lot of experience with drop in visits/sitting, and would love to play with and take care of your dogs in the environment they're used to and comfortable in.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and I'm familiar with many personalities. I'm also open to caring for any kind of pet; snakes, birds, hamsters, ferrets, fish (use the cat rate). My friends love having me house sit their dogs and cats while I work from home and they can go on vacation without worry. Currently between jobs so I have full availability! As a house sitter and working from home, I can comfort your pet all day while they miss you! Take them for walks and play with them morning, lunch, and evening. Playing fetch and tag in the yard and tire them out! I give the animals respect for their house. Clean litter boxes daily and ensure they continue their routines and rituals. Learn how they like to play and interact.

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve also been a foster parent for dogs with special needs until they find their forever home. I have house sat and pet sat for many family and friends and have been providing these services through rover for the past 2.5 years. I’m a healthcare worker, and have done home health in the past so I’m comfortable going into others homes. I’m reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I can guarantee your home and pets will be in great care. I do work full time Monday-Thursday. I’m off Friday-Sunday and have full availability for dog walking and pet sitting during the weekend. During the week I can go back to the home and spend time with your animals during my hour lunch. I’m available for overnight petsitting in your home 7 days a week. I live in an apartment, so I can bring small animals in for pet daycare. I have a small yard, but plenty of area for long walks outside my home. I also offer house sitting/pet sitting in the clients home.

About: I have over 15 years of experience providing compassionate care for a wide range of animals. From dogs and cats to birds, small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs, and even fish, I'm committed to ensuring every pet receives exceptional, individualized attention. My goal is always to keep them comfortable and happy while their favorite people are away, and you can also count on consistent communication from me, with regular updates on how your beloved companions are doing. I'm a dedicated pet sitter with a super part-time job, meaning my schedule is incredibly flexible to prioritize your pets' needs! Getting around is always reliable, so you can count on me to be there. I just ask for a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone (pets included!) feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Your pet isn't just a client – they're literally the center of their own universe, and I'm here to make sure they feel it! I'm all about creating a super safe, comfy, and chill environment where every furry friend can just kick back and be themselves. People often tell me I'm like the male version of 'Snow White' because animals just seem to trust and adore me quicker than most people they've meet. Honestly, it's pretty special how quickly the bonding happens! So, get ready for some serious spoiling. I'm here to make your life easier and ensure your beloved companions have an absolute blast. Trust me, your pets will definitely be in the right hands.

“Always amazing, super reliable, and great with our dogs❤️”

Taking care of a puppy and a senior dog was tough at times, but there was never a dull moment! A while after our senior dog passed away my puppy was diagnosed with a thyroid issue. So giving medication to your pups is not an issue! Feeling accomplished, knowing your dogs are very happy and healthy. With you putting the time and energy into helping them grow. Loving pets every single day is just good for the soul. My pets are very routine-oriented, and due to this I will learn about your pups schedule and the little quirks and stick to them! With lots of love and attention.

About: My first job when I was a kid was to walk my neighbor's dogs. Since then, I've worked and volunteered with several different animal organizations, completed different training courses, handled dozens of different dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every animal is different, and I respect each and every one! As an artist, I find caring for pets the perfect balance to studio time—nothing inspires a break like a cold nose nudging your elbow or a purring cat settling onto your sketchbook. Pets are treated like family. I believe structure and exercise are important and look for a relaxed demeanor to know that the animals needs have been met.

Jon A.
“Jon truly has a way with dogs and cats. They seem to calm down and be happy in his presence. An incident a few days ago comes to mind, showing his ability to care for animals. He was at a neighbor of both of ours, checking on her dogs. He came out of her house and a stray dog was outside. He got it to come up to him, but there wasn’t a tag, soon there were 7 dogs! I remembered that another neighbor nearby, had a lot of dogs, so he literally led the dogs to their home, so in a few minutes, he cared for the safety of 11 dogs! The first neighbor had 4!”


Hallie F.
“Hallie F. is a thoughtful, curious, and adaptable cat parent. She always stays up to date on new information on pet health and products, she always learns more about her feline, Lucian- in order to help him thrive and stay healthy. She encourages the natural will of her cat while also being disciplined with leash and behavioral training. She's taught me several things that have helped me further my understanding of fur babies; even after years of my personal pet ownership- new things are fantastic to learn and Hallie is my first source for such updates. She kind, adaptable to animals with different needs, and is dedicated to their health through diet, necessary medication, and stimulation. I recommend her as both a sitter and as a beginning cat trainer.”


Fiona D.
“Fiona is reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. She loves animals and I trust that when my pups are with her, they are well cared for. She texted me frequent updates with pictures of how everyone was doing. I recommend Fiona as a pet sitter to everyone!”


Chase H.
“Chase has been not just my, but my whole family’s pet sitter for years. He has helped my family, my in-laws, and my siblings with their pets and never once been disappointed. He is absolutely phenomenal! He is great at sending pictures and updates because let’s be honest we all worry about our fur babies when we’re gone and Chase takes that stress away with consistent texts, pictures, and videos. He also is a great house guest and cleans up so well. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
