“Mellie had an amazing time going to doggy daycare with Sara!! She is a very anxious girl typically but was always super excited at drop off and had the best time playing and sunbathing in the backyard and napping in the various cozy spots throughout Sara’s home. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have been around dogs for my whole life and love to care for them. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy going outside for long walks. I have experience in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule to help someone that needs assistance with their pet. I have availability on weekdays, weeknights, mornings, evenings, and nights! I treat each pet as if they are my own by giving them a happy and engaging environment. They will receive plenty of belly rubs, time outside on long walks, and nap time on the couch. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed or in their crate if their parents would prefer.
About: Hi! I’m Kaitlin — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets in both my home and others’. Whether it’s friends, family, or new clients, people have trusted me with their beloved pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. I truly enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I work Monday - Thursday and am available most weekends. My husband works from home during the week, so someone is almost always around! We share our home with a sweet, social 3-year-old Rottsky who gets along great with other dogs, and a curious cat who might pop in to say hello if he’s feeling comfortable. We also have a fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and fetch! Pets are welcome on the couch and bed :) I do also have a cat in the house. He is curious and will be around your pets if he feels comfortable.
“Cynthia is awesome!! I have a 6.5 month old lab with a high energy level. Cynthia’s home is extremely inviting for all dogs and all different temperaments. Her two yellow labs are extremely sweet and my dog loves to play with them. This was my first time using Rover given my pup is so young. Cynthia took the time to talk to me about how she handles the dog in a positive manner, never violent. She made she to give me updates during the day and sent lots of cute photos. 10/10 recommend and have already booked more days with her.”
About: I've been taking care of pets for over 40 years! I started with a bunny and then a golden retriever puppy who grew fast and was full of energy (I'd occasionally be called to the office in elementary school when he'd break loose to get him from outside and take him home! lol)! As a mom, I helped my children learn to care for various pets - my favorite being chickens. I look forward to using my lifelong love for animals and experience in caring for them to help others when they aren't able to care for their own!! My schedule is not set, so I'm very flexible! After working in the financial industry for years and then working in education, I've been a GIG worker for quite a few years now, so have learned to juggle various things. In NC, I have a fenced yard, and in FL stay in an apartment. I will take great care of any pets I get the pleasure of spending time with!
“Zoë is a godsend. She was able to accommodate my emergency request so I could be with my grandmother. I’m so grateful. She’ll definitely be my go to when I’m in town if she’s able and willing.”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I bring both heartfelt dedication and professional expertise to every furry friend I meet. My journey began with my first puppy, who I lovingly walked daily, bathed with care, and shared my home and heart with. This deep bond inspired me to pursue a degree in Animal Science at UC Davis, where I specialized in companion animals and gained comprehensive knowledge of pet health, behavior, and care. Throughout my undergraduate years, I volunteered and interned at numerous shelters and clinics, where I assisted with surgery prep and recovery, microchipping, post-op care, feeding, and cleaning. These experiences sharpened my ability to recognize early signs of illness and deliver calm, capable care—even in medical situations. At home, I care for two adopted cats who were originally rescued from a shelter. I’ve provided them with a safe, loving environment ever since they first arrived as house-sitting guests. Whether it’s walking dogs, managing senior or special-needs pets, or offering overnight stays, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine since I currently only have a flexible part-time job. I usually work 2 shifts per week (each shift is 4-hour long), and the rest of the time I’ll be home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily accommodate daily walks, feedings, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities—whether I’m doing drop-in visits, day care, or boarding in my home. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and always follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. With my animal science background and clinical experience, I’m confident in handling medications, special needs, and spotting early signs of illness. I treat every pet like family and always keep you updated with messages and photos.
“I had to leave my dog for a long day this weekend and I’m so grateful this worked out. They were great at knowing how to be mindful of introducing my dog to the new space and to their pups, they were great with communication and my dog was well taken care of and happy, so I’m happy! Thanks! ???”

“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone who wasn't us, and we were very nervous. Heather did a great job helping our puppy feel comfortable and helping me feel comfortable by sending me videos. Highly recommend Heather.”

About: Between us, we have raised 4 dogs, trained 3 of them from when they were puppies, and cared for over a dozen. We also have raised an orange cat who is as well-trained as a cat can be. We are a pair of teachers on summer break, so we have some flexibility during the day for dog walking or drop-in visits. We can do weekdays and weekends. We have experience meeting all kinds of pet needs! Anxious dogs, finicky eaters, crate training, leash training, high energy dogs, flighty cats, etc. etc. We can walk, play with, feed, provide water, brush, and whatever else your pet needs.
“April did amazing watching our puppy! You can really tell she has a joy for animals. She was very flexible and accommodating and sent lots of updates throughout. Our pup was definitely well taken care of!!! Will be booking again in the future!!! :)”

About: Call me Joe. My wife and I love animals. We’ve cared for pets our entire life—dogs, cats, birds, and even a chameleon. Originally from Japan, we're skilled at training pets through hands-on experience. We're especially patient with puppies and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. A naturally tidy and organized person, we keep your home and pets happy, safe, and cared for. We share responsibilities together. I usually handle the dog walks, while my wife not only helps me, but she also brings comfort to pets. I currently work part-time as a gig worker and have flexible hours. I’d like to use my free time to care for pets, making my days more meaningful while helping pet owners. My wife always helps me with pet care. We don’t currently have pets in our home, so visiting pets get my full attention. We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a dog park on the property, providing a safe and welcoming environment for walks and play.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for almost 7 years now and even got the opportunity to shadow a professional dog trainer for 9 weeks. I’m passionate about providing a fulfilling enriching life for animals. 2 days out of the week I will be out of the house for a 5 hour shift at a part time job and other than that I am available to tend to any pet needs. I have a crate, puppy pads, treats and dog food already in my home. I can bathe, walk, and provide enrichment activities for your pet
About: I’ve had the pleasure of having pets since I was a baby. I have experience pet-sitting dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, you name it! I can provide walking services, administer medications, etc. I’m happy to help and accommodate your pet in my home as well. I am currently a student, but during breaks I can works as a sitter full time. While in school I prefer to work nights or during the weekend. I live in duplex just off of campus with wonderful walking trails and side walks. My backyard is not fenced, so any outside time would need to be leashed or supervised.
About: As a regular pet sitter, my commitment goes beyond just feeding and walking. With years of experience, I specialize in personalized care tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing gentle care for seniors, or bathing, I ensure they feel loved and safe in my care. I am a babysitter as well, I have a very flexible schedule and usually work short hours and not on a regular basis. I am able to stay super attentive to your animals and will make sure they are well taken care of! I have a very safe area in my apartment for dogs to go and play and near me there is many walking trails where your dog will go on amazing walks.
