“Melinda is a wonderful dog walker. She quickly established rapport with our dog and has been very reliable and responsive. She lets us know how each visit went and often sends photos. I recommend her highly.”


“Susan is the best! She walked my dog for several months and was always there! Extremely reliable. Worked well with my dog who can be reactive to other dogs on walks. Cannot recommend her enough!”


About: Over 12 years professionally caring for dogs, and I’ve owned them for 30 years. Professional dog groomer, nail care and light clipper clean ups available. I’m a professional pet groomer working to get my in-home grooming service going. In the meantime, I’m doing gig work, which means the most flexible schedule to make it work for you. Excellent at following instructions and communication. I believe in positive reinforcement training and responses to behavior. I’m extremely strong due to my job, and will have no problem handling any size dog with any behavior level. I am well versed in dog body language and psychology.

About: I have had pets ever since I was born and love nothing more than quality time with animals! I am a college student looking for some much needed time away from the books and surrounded by pets. I currently have classes on Monday and Wednesdays and am looking to spend time caring for fur babies every other day of the week! I absolutely adore all types, sizes, ages, of pets and want to help you and your family out in any way I can. I am available throughout the weekdays to help let your dog out, take them on walks, feed them, and so much more! I also have experience washing dogs if needed.

“Sofi is great with my pup Penn. she is also super reliable and responsive I had to change the day I needed her pretty last minute and she had no problem adjusting. Definitely recommend!”


About: I have experience with every kind of dog! Puppies, senior dogs, I am also used to administering medication to dogs. I have been working as a k9 coach for the past year! I am super patient, kind, and understanding I have a super flexible schedule! I am very open to anything last minute. I can do multiple walks a day as well! I am also more than happy to just stay the whole day if house sitting! I would say my animals are so spoiled! I am very gentle. I am someone who believes that yelling at an animal won’t do anything. So I would say I have a very gentle but effective approach.


“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”


“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”


About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (9 years old). Together, we have fostered 12 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after a Rhodesian Ridgeback and an American pit bull. Our own dog is a 2.5 year old Aussie-beagle. We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was young and have always loved spending time with animals. I also worked at a dog daycare where I gained hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. I learned effective training techniques for puppies and how to care for senior dogs with extra needs. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I'm currently a student living on campus, but I’ll be available for long-term pet care starting in June. Over the summer, I’m open to dog-sitting, boarding, and house-sitting for extended periods, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide flexible, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and tailored to their needs and routines. I pay close attention to any instructions provided, from feeding and medication to favorite toys or walk times. I also prioritize trust and communication by keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being a calming presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own.


About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.
