About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, starting with my Golden Retriever when I was just 3 years old. Over the years, I’ve raised many dogs, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and now I’m fortunate to spend time with other dogs, especially Rex, my cousin's mini Pinscher (who you’ll see in my profile). My love for dogs is so strong that I’d love to make dog-sitting my full-time focus. I’d be honored to care for your dog and give them the attention they deserve! I have a spacious, fenced yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play. I love interactive activities like fetch and tug-of-war, so your dog will always have enriching playtime with me. I also have a large crate available if your dog prefers their own quiet space for eating or sleeping. However, if your dog enjoys having company, they’re more than welcome to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. My schedule is very flexible, so your dog will always have someone nearby to tend to their needs while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I will generally be available to take care of your dogs with as little as 1 days notice. My work schedule is very flexible so I will be able to watch your dog uninterrupted during our time together. I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if your dog requires it. Other than that its just me at the house so your dog won't be overstimulated in a new environment.

“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”


“Taylor was wonderful! Sent updates and pics of my boys each time she stopped at the house while I was gone for the weekend, and even my picky dog loved her. I will definitely be booking her the next time I need a dog sitter.”


About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dogs and neighbors dogs since as long as I can remember. I got my own dog when I was 16 along with the two family dogs I already helped take care of. I have an Australian Shepard, Bernese Mountain dog, and a Golden Retriever. I’ve been taking care of big energetic dogs my whole life so its never a problem for me. I am a college student and during the summers have been doing dog walks, feeding, and overnight visits. I’ve never had any problems with any breed and honestly just love to meat new ones. I am a full time college student but I do have a good amount of time. Especially on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and also weekends. Tuesdays and Thursdays also work but only morning and nights. I can deal with complex instructions wether it is different feeding schedules or complicated diet restrictions as I understand that some dogs need a specific meal plan. I can’t currently house any dogs.

About: I have been a dog and cat lover since I was 8 years old, when I was tasked with taking care of my first puppy. Since then, I have trained and cared for numerous dogs and cats of all ages. I have experience caring for senior pets who move a little slower or need medication. I also have lots of experience with doggos who may have a bit of anxiety or aren’t so good with new folks. Don’t worry, it won’t stop me from making sure they get the care they deserve! I love every dog and cat I see, and caring for them is one of my favorite things to do. I am am actor, so pet care is an amazing way for me to make sure I have a flexible day job that allows me to attend auditions and complete my work! Life as an actor can be a little bit unpredictable as far as when I work or am out of town, but I will always honor my client’s time and make sure their pets receive the best care. My schedule is especially flexible for walking. Slightly less so for evening care and overnight stays. I will care for pets in my client’s home with the same amount of love and respect I would give my own two fur babies! I will assess with my client what their pet’s needs are, and make sure they are comfortable with me. I will make sure they get lots of pets and play time, if that is what they want. I will also make sure to give them space if they aren’t so sure about me! I believe each pet deserves personalized care, as each pet is completely different!

About: As a kid we raised bassett hounds. My mother was a cruelty investigator. I helped her on cases from time to time. We raised ducks as well. I have owned many pets through out my life. I currently have 3 dogs and a service dog in the making. I worked at a kennel where I was the caretaker for two buildings taking care of close to 200 puppies a day. I cleaned up after them, sanitize their living area, fed them and gave them water. I fell in love with a little guy who kept being passed over. He had been there for 8months. I decided to bring him home and make him part of the fur family. It was very rewarding especially when they got a new home. No aggressive dogs please! All dogs must be current on their shots!

“I had Melissa come to feed and let Charlie out 2 times while I was at a wedding. She came a few days ahead of the scheduled visits to meet Charlie and he instantly was best friedms with her. Durring her stops she went above and beyond by playing ball with him and by taking him for a walk. She sent update messages after each visit. I would recommend her services if you need someone to take care of your pets.”


About: I have had dogs all my life and spent over 20 years as a Pet Groomer both in a shop and mobile. I have had continued education in cat grooming, dog grooming, skin care, etc. I specialized in senior and anxiety dogs. I have had upward of 9 dogs at one time and they did not all get along. I have also owned a diabetic dog. I also have a Reiki background. Currently I am retired from pet grooming and I own another business that is seasonal therefore my schedule is pretty flexible and my availability is pretty open too. I have a small fenced yard in a low traffic community that is good for walks too. I am familiar with crate training and can accommodate that if needed. I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.

About: I have grown up in a household of dogs and have always had a love for pets. I have the patience for taking care of both older dogs and training/caring for puppies. I will make sure to take my time to give your pet the attention and affection that they desire. I have also taken care of cats along with cared for exotic animals (i.e. geckos) and farm animals. I have recently graduated from college and have a good amount of free time currently. My pets (leopard gecko and chinchilla) are more low maintenance giving me more room to care for your pets. I like to keep your pet as comfortable as possible in your own home and I will make sure that I keep their daily routine as similar as possible to when you are normally home to care for them.

About: Growing up with and subsequently having my own pets, I understand the importance of having a trusted contact to call on when needed. My specialty lies with young, middle age and senior dogs. I love how each pup has their own personality and I do what I can to help them shine! Whether they are really active and need lots of attention or like to snuggle inside, I let them be themselves! I also have experience with cats and guinea pigs and am open to taking on more diverse pets. I am available for daily walks, overnights or day time activities for animals of all types! I am currently self-employed and make my own schedule, so I am able to fit in any kind of hours necessary! I am also available for overnights, extended stays and vacations.

If extended overnight care is needed, we can explore the option of coming to my own home as well. I have a very large fenced in yard in a small, safe community.

“Jessica was so amazing with our kitty while we were away. Even though he isn’t that social she did an amazing job keeping him engaged and distracted him from us being away. Highly recommended!”


About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I have taken care of dogs for family and friends throughout the years. I am comfortable with big and small dogs! Currently I am available every weekend or nights after 5pm. I am a teacher so with summer coming up, I will the be available 24/7! My dogs are apart of my family, and your pets will be treated the same way! I am gentle, loving and compassionate with them. They are allowed on furniture, get daily walks and are loved!

About: I started house sitting in high school for close family friends/neighbors of ours. The first family that trusted me had 2 birds, a turtle, 2 older cats, a dog, and 2 fish. Caring for the cats involved a good deal of specificity, especially with the timeliness of their routines. I also have walked and cared for numerous dogs through babysitting & nannying, whether it be overnight jobs or just for a few hours, and I understand the attention to detail it takes to make a pet and a pet parent feel happy and comfortable. My dog tore his ACL on the beach with me while I was in college, I carried him up and down my townhouse stairs for months. He also had allergies with a variety of treatments including soap that had to sit in a lather for 5-15 minutes every day (he did not like baths, especially when it was cold out), special diet, and pills. At times, I was giving him a few pills each morning. He was very smart, and adventurous enough to be a little mischievous. He knew when there was a pill in food, he could smell it, or have watched me prepare it differently. It got to the point that we had a position to get into, I would place a pill as far back on his tongue then have to hold his chin up. Sometimes he would pretend to swallow it, then go spit it elsewhere when he thought I wasn’t looking. He taught me to appreciate a dog’s individuality and sense of wit. I imagine pet personalities come in as wide a variety as humans, and I believe understanding, attentiveness, and playfulness are the standard for pet care. I work 8:30-5 (ish) 4 days per week, and I am happy to stop by before and after work and/or during lunch if reasonable, some days I get longer lunch breaks :) I am flexible on the weekends. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family. I do think routines and caretaking look different per pet and household, but however works best for pet parents and their pets, they can expect I will be engaged, responsible, loving, and kind to their fur babies. I do also have a fenced in backyard, and live with two dogs if that option is valued.

“As a sitter/walker on Rover myself, I can be very picky about who I trust my pups with. Gracia certainly makes that list! She is fabulous with my two small pups anytime she looks after them. She is responsible, reliable, and punctual. With my older chihuahua, Gracia is always so sweet and gentle. With my puppy rat terrier, she is playful and energetic. I can always rest easy when I know my dogs are in Gracia’s care, she consistently is able to provide the perfect care for each individual pup. I highly recommend Gracia for all your pet needs, she truly has been a lifesaver for me!”
