“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”

“Breanna is the absolute best. She has been essential in potty/leash training our puppy (tough with our work schedules!) and is vigilant with consistency in training commands—so important for a little pup! Our fur baby could not love her more!”

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.
“Libby is a great sitter! She takes my dog on neighborhood walks or if time and weather permit, adventures to a nearby walking path. She's easy to communicate with and has made me feel at ease while I'm at work! Thanks, libby”

“Meranda was great with our dog! Excellent at communication and was very responsive to and chances + very patient with our puppy. We will certainly be using her again and highly recommend her”

“Christina has been great with our dog, he is scared of new people and she has done so much to make him comfortable and open up to her. Our dog loves his daily walks now”


About: My husband and I have been pet sitting for a couple years, we have experiences with both large and small dogs, we have a super friendly corgi who would love to make new furiends. We also have two black cats that does really well with meeting new pets, ink is a senior cat that’s really laid back and just sleeps all the time, boba is a very playful kitty that loves zooming around and fetch, they would love to have new playmates! If you need any training during the stay, we can help with that, as well as bathe your pets if needed. We can also easily crate your dog(s) at home if preferred. We’re both freelancers, so our schedule is very flexible, we usually work around the afternoon time, if we’re both out of the house, it won’t be more than 2 hours. We have a super friendly corgi to keep your fur baby company, while we don’t have a fenced in yard, we have a very big front & side yard that they can hang out and play on, we also take 2 walks a day at least, if the weather is nice we can do 3, or however much the dog desires.
About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

I will spend time asking the right questions, providing updates, and leaving your place better than I found it to make sure visits with your loved ones are successful. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have! I work two days per week as a PCA, and my schedule isn't set. I will keep my calendar up-to-date to reflect my availability!

“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”

“Sara was fantastic! She was punctual and treated Millie with the upmost respect. Sara gave great updates throughout the walk and captured some stunning photos. I would highly recommend Sara for any of your pet needs!”

“This was our first time booking with Emma, and she was absolutely wonderful!!! Emma is a five star Pet Sitter and we were so lucky to find her! She was a dream to work with and took the very best care of our dog for a week. We were thrilled to connect with Emma and highly recommend her!”

About: I love working with dogs and tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or giving medication, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the extra patience and attention they need, offering gentle walks, plenty of reassurance, and a calm, caring environment to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In your home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while keeping them on their usual routine. I make sure they’re closely supervised during outdoor time and always prioritize their safety and well-being.
“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.”

“Siri is great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and from the moment my dog met her, it was easy to see she understands and cares for animals. My dog can be shy with new people, but Siri has this calm confidence, and they connected immediately. Every walk was on time, with detailed updates and photos that gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting good care and happy. It’s good day when you find someone who treats your pet like their own, Siri is one of those special people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and competent person to care for your pet.”

Dan is awesome! My GSD grew to love him really quickly. He handles her on walks with no problem and always makes sure she gets plenty of attention and exercise. He’s also very responsive and does his best to fit us into his schedule. The detailed Rover cards he sends after each walk are a great bonus too! 🐾

Spencer has been the best. He’s walked my border collie 3x/week the past few months and it’s been a breeze. He’s super consistent and always ensures Milo goes on a solid walk. He shares updates and photos each day that make me feel comfortable knowing Milo is in good care while I’m at work. Highly recommend.

Connor is an outstanding dog walker! He’s reliable, kind, and truly loves animals. My dog's lit up when they saw him! Connor went above and beyond, making sure the walk was not only fun but safe. I felt confident knowing my babies were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!
