About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and haven't lived a single day without one! I’m equally experienced with both cats and dogs, ranging from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle seniors. I treat every pet in my care like part of my own family, so you can count on them being thoroughly spoiled and loved the entire time! My schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to easily drop in, walk, and spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I care for regular weekly pet clients Monday through Friday while keeping my weekends open, which gives me plenty of freedom to seamlessly weave your pet’s specific routine right into my day. I’m more than happy to offer constant care if your pet needs 24/7 supervision! Because this requires dedicated round-the-clock attention, higher rates do apply. Whether your pets prefer staying in their own comfortable environment or joining me at my house—where we have a great unfenced yard for leashed exploration—they’ll be in wonderful hands! I handle every part of their daily routine—including feeding, exercise, medication, and lots of individual affection. As a responsible pet owner, all of my own pets are fully up to date on vaccinations, wellness visits, and monthly preventatives. I always respect your home, follow your specific care instructions, and ensure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away.
“Madison has been a life saver! Due to some recent life changes, I was worried that I might have to surrender my dog Tripp because of my long work shifts. Madison is making it possible for me to keep Tripp by walking him and giving him a potty break while I'm at work. Madison has shown great communication and has been extremely reliable. I would highly recommend!”

About: I have been working in veterinary medicine for 4 years this January! I love and care for all animals but I also have a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety I am currently working full time, with Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. I do get a break in the middle of the day to take care of any of the animal’s needs! I currently do not have any pets in my home. Crate/kennel training or a fenced in yard isn’t necessary. Leash trained preferably but not required.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for
“Thank you so much for walking Hubert. He’s still a puppy so he needs as much walking, teaching, and coaching as possible so we are happy Talia has experience and a love for animals.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve owned dogs for years, fostered dogs, and have experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, boundaries, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable with large and strong breeds, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I also have experience working on basic obedience, leash manners, commands, and positive, reward-based training. I believe dogs thrive with a combination of consistency, exercise, enrichment, affection, and clear expectations. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own and make sure owners receive plenty of communication and updates while they’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my life. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet individualized care rather than simply fitting them in between other commitments. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to adjust my routine to match what your pet is accustomed to at home so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Here’s a warm, professional answer you can use for your Rover profile: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific rules or training they’re working on. I know consistency is important for dogs, especially when their family is away. Safety is always my priority. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, energy level, and individual needs. I use positive, reward-based reinforcement and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. 🐾

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I also have canine hospice care experience. If your pet needs extra care or if you need respite, I am available to help. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.
About: I will provide the love and care that your dog desires. There will be lots of cuddling, walking, and playing. I have been pet sitting and taking care of animals for an upwards of 14 years, staying with my neighbors dogs and caring for my own. I am an energetic person who loves to exercise and be outdoors.

I look forward to loving and caring for your animals and I hope you feel safe leaving your animals in my care! I work a full time job that allows me to make my own schedule so it is easy for me to be able to take off for a little bit and help out with anything you may need during the day! I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run free! I also have three dog friendly dogs that will get out all of the nerves and energy! I also have a waist walked with a treat bag to reward for great pups!
