About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and finally adopted my first two years ago! Well before my partner and I adopted our rescue, I was helping out family and friends as a sitter and walker. Whenever I was at a house with a dog, I always wound up being the designated fetch partner. I’m a dedicated caretaker who loves taking my pup around the block, to the park and on adventures. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and have experience watching dogs ages 1-18! As a dog parent myself, I know how important communication, transparency and, of course, getting pictures of your pup is when you’re away from them. I’m excited to meet, walk and play with more dogs around the district! I work five days a week (M-F) from home, but my schedule is flexible and allows for me to take breaks as needed to tend to my own dog and pop out to care for others whenever necessary. Afternoons are ideal, but I can be available in evenings, mornings and overnight with advanced notice. My dog roams free at home, but she started out crate trained and graduated from there. I’m comfortable caring for a dog/dogs who roam free or are crated and have no issue retrieving them from there and returning them to their space as needed.

About: Looking for folks who can give your dog love and affection? We're excited to welcome them into our home, or pop over to yours, where they can play, relax, and just be a dog in a chill, comfortable environment. We make sure every pup gets outside time throughout the day, whether that's a walk, potty break, or time to play in the yard. We also have our own fluffy pup, so yours will have a companion to play or relax with :) We offer both doggy daycare and drop-in visits, and we tailor each visit or daycare to how you and your dog like to do things - play, lounging, feeding or medication schedules, whatever keeps them happy and healthy. We're lifelong dog people with flexible work-from-home schedules, so we're genuinely present throughout the day, not just popping between meetings. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of our daily routine. Since we have flexible work from home schedules, we have plenty of time to prioritize walks, playtime, and feeding. Our own dog helps keeps us on a regular schedule, so we're already used to planning our days around pet needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday play session, or evening wind-down, we work your pets seamlessly into our schedule. With a bit of advance notice, we are able to adjust my schedule to accommodate different routines. Whether we're caring for pets in our home or yours, our top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We follow your routines as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walking routes to preferred toys and training cues. We make sure your dog (or cat!) gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and downtime as needed. If we’re hosting in our own home, your pet will have a cozy, quiet environment with plenty of room to relax and play, and will be treated just like part of the family, including supervised outdoor time, snuggles on the couch, and lots of love. We try to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Every pet is unique, and we take the time to get to know their needs and personality so we can provide the best possible care.

About: I have been trusted to take care of dogs, cats, and even birds since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to provide loving care to their pets. I am dedicated to providing individualized care to your pet, based on their needs. I am newly pursuing a masters degree and maintaining part-time work. I am excited that this transition has allowed me to commit more availability to Rover. My calendar is reflective of my availability when I am not in-person at work or at school. I love walking around the city and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets is something that I look forward to incorporating into my new routine! I have been trusted to care for pets in their owners’ homes since I was 12. I will show you and your home respect as I provide loving care to your pet.

Taylor was great! She was very communicative and detailed. You can tell she has a lot of experience in taking care of cats. I liked that she initiated a meet and greet before the booking to get familiar with the cat and home. Would recommend!

Great experience! John took great care of Mochii over the last few days, making sure she was fed, had plenty of playtime and got lots of attention. He was very responsive and sent pictures with every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Reliable, communicative, and clearly great with pets. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely book with him again!

10/10 — Would absolutely hire again! Professional, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. We have two very large dogs, including a puppy who struggles with separation anxiety, so finding someone we trust to care for them is really important to us. He took the time to make sure both of my boys were comfortable, well cared for, and settled in. He even stayed longer than required to make sure they were calm and comfortable before leaving, which meant so much to us. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!

Caris handled our dog with care and love, and was there on time, every time. Caris even went the extra mile to travel and take care of our dog during a rain storm. She also arrived a few days before to sit with our dog to make sure she was comfortable. A calming, caring presence, focused on the details and the comfort of your pet. A true professional!

Jesse is so caring and sweet with my puppy, Bellini. He came every day for a week to let her out at lunch and go for a walk. He was always on time, very responsive, and took lots of photos! Even when she had an upset stomach and had an accident, he took such great care of her and cleaned up an unfortunate mess. We will definitely book with Jesse and his wife again! Our Bellini has a new best friend!
