About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, nurtured since childhood, and currently share my home with two playful dogs and three affectionate cats. My supportive husband and three kids also adore our furry friends. With my experience caring for and fostering dogs at a local rescue, I love helping pets feel comfortable and happy. Our spacious fenced backyard and warm family atmosphere ensure your pup will have a great time playing and enjoying companionship. I am dedicated to providing all the love & care to make sure your furry friend has a great safe time’ As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule allows me to focus on my family and pets while my kids are in school. I usually run short errands or attend quick appointments, never gone for more than two hours, so I’m always nearby for my furry friends. I create a warm and welcoming space where every pet feels loved and comfortable. With my own dogs and cats at home, I know how important it is to keep a close eye on our furry friends, and I’m always nearby to give them the care they need. My time volunteering at a local rescue has given me the skills to handle a variety of dogs from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Sharing detailed information about your dog helps me tailor their care and ensure their safety, making them feel right at home. They’ll always be in a nurturing environment where they’re never alone for long and receive all the attention they crave!

About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”


About: I have 3 adorable pups! I love them to death and I recently adopted a pit-bull puppy that’s the sweetest girl and a quick learner with her training! I always make sure to properly take care of my dogs, play with them, and spoil them with loads of love and attention. im currently 18 and a senior in high school, I have worked plenty of jobs but I recently resigned to focus on my studies, and taking care of your perfect little pets will be a fitting outlet for me! I have many college bills I need to pay and rover is the perfect way to earn a little bit of money to pay them off. I can do late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and all day during summer! I’ve had pets all my life I have learned to take care of and love them, putting my heart into it, and I honestly just have a natural calling to animals, they love me and I love them!

About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.


“Abby was great at taking care of my two cats! Her updates were thorough and she had no issues with meeting the needs of my cats. I will use her again in the future for sure!”


About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.

“Lilly cared for Buca in every way I asked. She made sure I had photos of Buca walking and eating her dinner which I appreciate. I appreciate her attention and care.”

Kylie B.
“I can’t recommend Kylie enough as a pet sitter! From the moment we met, her genuine love for animals was clear. She took the time to get to know my Louies personality, routine, and quirks—and treated him like her own. Whether it was daily walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the couch, I knew my pup was in great hands. Kylie is responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she not only has experience, but also a true gift for working with pets. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur baby!”


Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”


Rebecca R.Star Sitter
“Rebecca is the real deal. She has been super star with my GSD Jake. She has been wonderful watching Jake as a young energetic pup, a mischievous adult, and as a slow arthritic senior. From administer meds (pills and eye drops) to keeping my reactive boy out of trouble, she had been wonderful and Jake absolutely loves her. There is no one I trust more to watch my sweet boy when I cannot.”

Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”
