About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!
“I absolute would give her @ 100 stars. We nrought oir dog on vacation with us and was afraid yo leave him in that nice house by his self due to his anxiety. The morning of the waterpark i signed up on rover and seen her profile so i messaged . She literally came that second and so we could leave and she was wonderful with him. The first hour is was barking and growling at her bit by hour 3 she updated us with a photo of his head on her lap while watching tv.”
About: … but God had other plans, and made me an Army VET instead!! Just love animals. I feel their energy and meet them where they are. Am a lifelong Animal lover and have lots of experience with both cats and dogs. Worked at an animal kennel, the zoo and assisted at a local veterinarian office in my teens. Have never lived without animals - they are family!!! I work remotely and am a momma. My routine revolves around getting my son too and from school. If I’m not on the road for work then my home routine is very flexible to whatever special need's your furry family may have. I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect. My son and I have lots of love to give! I am a nurse by trade and pay close attention to catch behavior changes or potential medical concerns.
About: For three years I walked two leash pulling cocker spaniels. I turned to watching Cesar Milan for tips, soon I had the dogs walking next to me with the leash loose in my hand. Their owner knew when I’d come to walk them, because they would be barking then quit, due to my entrance with no eye contact. As Cesar says dogs sense with their nose, eyes and ears consecutively. The owner made a comment once “oh, Ruthie must be here”. I’m currently working full time. I would be available after 4 pm Monday - Friday. I travel out of town every other weekend for family. It would work better if I could come to your place. I live in a small condo. That way your pet is kept in it’s familiar surroundings.
“Michael did a great job watching my dog. Always kept me up to date. Will be booking him again in the future.”

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I am used to taking my two dogs on walks every evening and am comfortable with giving pets medication.

“Alyssa was very communicative about how things were going with my pups! She worked through issues that came up with my girls being nervous and one of them throwing up. She did a great job!”
“Jamie watched the pup over Thanksgiving for me while out of town. She followed instructions well and played with them as much as she could. The pups definitely enjoyed having her over.”

“Nate has cared for my dogs on multiple occasions, and I can confidently say he is responsible, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. He consistently follows any special instructions I leave and ensures my dogs’ individual needs are met. One of my dogs is highly reactive to other dogs, and Nate handles him with exceptional patience and skill—avoiding known triggers and remaining calm and supportive even if my dog becomes reactive. Nate treats my pets like his own, showing a gentle and caring demeanor every time. I’ve trusted him to care for my dogs during weekends away and always return to happy, well-cared-for pups. I highly recommend Nate as a dog walker or sitter—you’ll be in good hands!”

“I seriously don’t know what I would’ve done without Cierra helping with my dog. She’s been amazing — super reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely loves her. You can tell she really cares and loves what she does. It was such a relief knowing my pup was getting good walks and attention while I was busy. She always gave me little updates which I appreciated so much. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but with her, it was never a worry. Her help made my life so much easier, and I’m so grateful. If you’re thinking about hiring her — do it. She’s the real deal!”
Morgan N.

Michael G.
“We’ve relied on Michael to look after our chihuahua, Thor, several times for short weekend trips and week-long vacations. Thor is a somewhat grumpy and particular dog, so finding someone he’s comfortable with is not easy. He always seems genuinely at ease around Michael, which we’ve come to appreciate. Michael is dependable, communicative, and experienced with dogs. He provides regular updates, which are helpful, and we always return to find Thor well cared for. It's reassuring to have someone we trust to look after him while we're away.”
