About: I have over 10 years of personal pet care experience with both cats and dogs. I work well with all ages but I have the most experience with senior care. My schedule is usually pretty flexible . Weekdays, I am available early mornings (before 11) and some evenings, depending on the day. Weekends, I am sometimes free. I give all the love, affection and cuddles I can to my own pets and will do the same for your fur babies. If your pet prefers their space, I will do my very best to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 14. I was a free-lance dog walker for my neighborhood so I’ve had plenty of experience with many kinds of dogs! I go to school part-time so I’ll be able to take care of your pups as long as I’m not in school. I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I enjoy being active. I have plenty of toys to keep your pups busy as well as my own dog, Tucker, to keep them company! I will play with them and give them as much attention and love as I can.

About: Hello! I have 30 years of experience caring for pets. I own an 80lb lover-girl named Lobster and a 10lb rascal-cat named Trinity (from The Matrix!) My schedule is very flexible and I'm available for couch snuggles, energetic playdates, and walkies. My furry companions have other members of the family to care for them at home if I'm pet-sitting overnight. I can drop-in your place, go for walks, stay overnight, give your cat snuggles, or (with your approval) bring your pup(s) to my large fenced-in backyard!

Carla is very kind and patient with our dog, who happens to be anxious and apprehensive with walks. In spite of my dog’s quirks, she absolutely loved her walks with Carla. Carla also provides thorough walk reports and tons of photos, which are greatly appreciated. Your dog is in great hands with Carla!
