“Allison is great - she spends plenty of time with our cats, is easy to communicate with, and provides plenty of photo updates. We’ve used her several times and will certainly use her again!”

About: I've had 4 of my own dogs and have experience with new adoptees, terminally ill dogs, seniors, breeds of all energies, and I am attuned to their needs. I've fostered many dogs through various rescues and I'm trusted by friends and neighbors to dog sit and walk. I love dogs and nerd out about all kinds, but happy dogs are my favorite dogs. I'm currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible and open. I have one low-medium energy dog of my own who's happy to chill at home or can come along. I'm happy to take cues from you, do you like your dog to sit at every street crossing? Cool, we can do that. Are you working on pulling less? I've helped friends lessen their dogs pulling and I'm happy to work on that or take the walking routes you suggest. I'm happy to give any treats or meds you have prepared and I can adapt to your dog's style and needs.

“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”

“Caris was WONDERFUL! Caris took such great care of my two cats and was extremely communicative while watching them. The best rover experience I’ve had and would recommend Caris to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friends.”

“John was great and reliable. Both my dogs loved him and they are looking forward to regular walks with him during the week.”

“Kaitlin checked on our two young cats while we were out of town. We really appreciate that the check-ins were around the same time each day so they could keep their dinner schedule, and we appreciate the kitty photos because we missed them!”

Heather G.

“Max was awesome. Communicative, took great pictures, easy to work with. I’ll definitely hire him again.”

Andrew E.

“Liz is fantastic! We had her do several drop in visits for our new puppy while my husband and I were at work. She kept us updated and even included some pictures from the visits. We've already booked her for additional drop in visits and a home stay for our upcoming vacation!”

Elly D.

“Kyndall was a great dog walker/sitter. Always left a detailed report for check ins. Sent many videos and photos to me throughout the week. My dog son was in great hands. Will be booking again!”

“Nicholas is a great pet sitter. He’s really good with my cat Cowboy, super responsive, and was really helpful getting an issue sorted out with my keys while I was out of town.”

“Sasha watched our three cats while my husband and I were out of town for a long weekend. You can tell she is a cat person by the way she interacts with your cats, understanding their body language and knowing how to engage with them. She took great care of our babies - we will definitely book her again next time we are in need of a cat sitter!”

Emily O.

“Abigail took such great care of my two floofs in the afternoons. They loved her! She was available last minute multiple times, took them on great walks and wore them out just enough for a great afternoon nap. I got comfortable enough with her that I didn’t even worry anymore and was able to focus on my work. Very kind and reliable sitter!”

J D.

“​Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. ​The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”

Sarah & Marty S.

“Erin was great with Pepper! She was prompt so Pepper could stay on schedule, asked clarifying when something was unclear, sent us updates! Overall, it’s clear Pepper loves Erin and Erin loves Pepper!”

Elena B.

“Alexandra was great! She provided detailed notes about how Lulu was doing and was quick to reply!”

About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.

“Keaton took excellent care of my shy cat, including giving her oral medication. They provided updates and were very communicative through the process.”

About: I grew up with dogs and in recent years have cared for friends', family's, and colleagues' pups. I have experience with puppies and seniors, including dogs with special needs (visual impairments and medication). I have been a volunteer with HRA since 2017 and have worked with dogs of all sizes and reactive dogs. I work remotely full-time (9–5) with a flexible schedule for walks, breaks, and play time. I am available for boarding during the day or evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced-in yard/deck and plenty of room for a crate and/or bed. I have a box turtle (he lives in an enclosure full-time) but no other animals or humans.
