About: I've always had a passion for animals, and have been taking care of my neighbor's and friend's pet since I was in middle school. I have experience caring for all types of animals, including senior dogs, blind dogs, puppies, cats, and birds. I am currently a student and only in class 3 days a week, so I have ample time away from other responsibilities that I can spend giving adequate care to your pets. I also enjoy going on daily walks, so getting them outside won't be a problem. I will be attentive to your dogs when they are outside, ensuring that the yard is secure and that they don't leave it. I will also make sure the house is secured when I leave, and the pet is safe.

About: Hi, I'm Emily and animals have been at the heart and center of my entire life. Animals bring quality and enrichment to our lives and I like to give that back in return. I've been fortunate to have animals since I was a little girl, from pocket pets, to cats, dogs, goats, horses and even a cow! In a professional capacity, I was a veterinary technician for over 8 years, providing emergency and routine care, for both large and small animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and donkeys while owners were away for about the past 10 years. The last 4 years, I have been active in kennel clubs, taking classes and learning about dog training. I am currently co-teaching obedience classes and plan to continue learning about dog behavior and training. I am currently taking clients for drop in visits and walks. Drop in visits will be tailored to your pet's specific needs, providing potty breaks, fresh food/water, cleaning, comfort, & play. Walks provide physical and mental stimulation, companionship, basic skills and play. **For large dog requests, I ask as a courtesy that they are well mannered and are not likely to jump on me and knock me over or drag me as I am only 100lbs 🙂 thank you! Safety is of utmost importance. I am committed to your pet's mental, physical health, and safety overall. I will take care as I do my own. I recognize that each animal has its own personality, some are outgoing, some are shy. I will allow them to be who they are so that they can feel safe in my presence. I will communicate with you based on your preference. I provide reports at the conclusion of each check-in, also happy to send photos if your pet is comfortable with that.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and love every furry friend like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high energy puppies, senior dogs, and anxious personalities. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love that go into caring for them at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, and making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust someone, so I always prioritize communication, reliability, and a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks. Being home allows me to give pets consistent attention instead of leaving them alone for long periods. At my home, I have a small fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep a structured, calm environment while still making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I also have three friendly pugs who are well socialized and used to being around other dogs, so your pup will have built-in companionship and playmates (if they enjoy other dogs!). I always introduce dogs slowly and make sure everyone is comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their exact routine including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, and house rules to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or theirs.

“Gabriella is the best!”

“Camille responded to my request within the hour and was able to come for a first time, last minute, dog walk when the dog walker I had lined up cancelled. Judging by the smile on my pups face in the photos she sent, I’d say she took good care of him. Thank you Camille!”

About: Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always had animals in my life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me.

I have a very flexible schedule right now with full availability during the week and weekends, which allows me to focus on providing reliable pet care. Once I begin school this fall, I’ll continue to offer care on evenings and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one attention, I’m happy to help when you need it. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a pet owner myself and have animals at home, so I truly understand how much they mean to you. I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, stick to routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also respectful of your home and aim to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

“Alexxis is amazing! She’s on time, reliable, and wonderful with my pup. She’s been great when I’ve needed a quick schedule change or with any special needs my dog has. She’s the best”

About: I grew up very hesitant of dogs, but I’ve grown to adore them! Spending time with animals has been like a form of therapy for me and being outside makes it even better! I’m currently on summer vacation and I don’t have a job at the moment, so I’m free for pet care at any time! Being able to walk and care for animals is something I would love to make a main part of my day. I am a very big rule follower, so whatever you say goes! I am very big on safety and if a situation seems risky, I will avoid it at all costs. My main priority is the health and safety of the animals I am watching.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. My friends jokingly call me the dog whisperer. I have experience with everything from potty training to surgical rehab and medicine administration. Nighttime visits and Long walks are no sweat. I'm also very neat and clean so any messes made by your pups are no problem at all. My schedule is currently open 7 days a week. If for any reason I am not available pet owners will be made aware before scheduling any services. I recently lost both my pups to cancer. Thorn was almost 15, and my girl Rain was almost 13. Being around other dogs is helping me cope with their loss. My home yard is very large (over an acre), and fully fenced in. Dogs also don't have any furniture restrictions in my home. They're welcome to sit or sleep wherever they like. If sitting in your home I abide by your rules for everything. Dinner time, kinds of treats, or walks schedules are all set by you.

About: I’ve always loved animals! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and through Rover, building trust with both pets and their owners. I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet cuddles, or sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely care about your pet’s well-being. All pets I meet are truly treated like family. I strive to create a calm, happy environment so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands!! I was in elementary school when I learned to take care of animals as a part of a daily routine. My mother and I took turns waking up early to let the dogs out or walk them around our block. I’m an elementary school teacher, so my schedule follows the school calendar. I’m available on weekends, during school breaks, and have full availability in the summer. I can also be flexible outside of school hours when possible and will always do my best to work around your pet’s needs! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, boundaries, and any specific instructions so everything stays consistent and stress-free. I also believe trust goes both ways, so I want you and your pet to feel completely at ease, and I strive to create a safe, calm, and positive experience for everyone.
