“Janet is great! Came to us very last minute and provides detailed updates on her time with our dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I’ve been 16 years old. I watched for family, friends, and people in my town growing up. It was a great way to learn responsibility and the importance of caring for something. I have experience raising a litter of puppies recently. We worked on listening skills, potty training, and knowing boundaries in the yard. I am currently home with my baby caring for him, so I have a very available schedule. I am home all weekdays and weekends as well to offer care for your pets. My yard is fenced in, and there is a large area in the back of the property we live on where we go to play and run around that is not near the road at all. I’d have to leash dogs to walk them back there and then they’re safe to be off!
About: I have cared for numerous cats and dogs in my life. Sometimes up to 7 at a time for one household. I am from a large family with many different pets and routines, allowing me to use intuition and experience to guide my stays. Patience and kindness are a must! I work a full-time job that has flexible hours between 7am to 11pm, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. This field allows me to leave work for up to 1 hour a day in order to let animals out every 4 hours or so if your pet is not comfortable with a full 8-hour day. I like to watch how the owners interact with their animals and use this as a model for how to treat each pet individually. This allows me to use my own judgement but create a familiar environment for your fur baby!
“David is wonderful with Baloo and really enjoys their walks. He especially enjoys playing tug at the end of the walk! David has been punctual and reliable and I feel comfortable having him take care of Baloo.”
“Kailie was on time and absolutely wonderful with Basil. She love animals and it shows. Basil was very comfortable with Kailie. Definitely will be calling her back . I recommend her highly.”
About: I have lived with several dogs a hound mins now who is 5 and had a chocolate lab for 14 years, a small chihuahua Dockson mix, a blue nose pitbull for a year when her father was deployed (a marine officer) .... we ran allot! and golden retrievers. Absolutely love dogs and walking/running & playing with them till they are satisfied and if they are lazy I’ll hangout and relax also! Not afraid to clean up after pups! Beggars, players, and cuddle bugs all welcome. I won’t feed your pet any dangerous food and will follow you directions to keep everything consistent easy and simple for you! I love all animals so if you have others it’s okay with me! I also have a yard and a truck if transportation is needed. Your animals are in good hands! Pet care is my priority in my daily routine, waking up for morning walks before it’s too hot and doing food routines. Providing supplements or medication as needed as well. I will drive to parks and dog parks or walk to dog parks & parks if reasonable. Belly rubs, butt scratches, ear rubs are all standard! Really flexible in terms of your pets routine so let me know what’s needed and I can accommodate.
“Brandy is now my Rover person of choice. She was early to pick up Sophie; gave her a fun yet rigorous workout. And, when she came back, Brandy ensured her paws were clean so she didn't track mud into the house. Sophie adores her as do we. She's the best.”
About: I have about 10 years of hands-on dog experience and a solid understanding of dog body language, behaviour, and psychology. I am also currently working on gaining my first dog training certification (expected July 2025). My training specialty has landed on service dogs, but I still have experience with basic obedience, tricks, and behaviour modification. While I do work a regular job, I dedicate the rest of my time to helping you and your dog(s) in whatever way you need. Be it check-ins, house sitting, or walks! No matter what, I prioritise your pup’s comfort and safety. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour changes to make sure they stay safe, happy, and stress-free. Any instructions are followed closely to ensure your pup’s routine is kept consistent, medications are given on time, and any preferences are respected. For walks and drop-ins I focus on creating a fun, enriching experience while still prioritising safety. For house sitting, I treat your home with care and respect. I stick to your dog’s regular routine as close as possible and make sure that their needs are met. I’m also able to take your pup to veterinary and grooming appointments if needed. We can even go for a hike or to the beach with your permission! But please note I do NOT take dogs to dog parks.

Kaylea N.Star Sitter
“Kaylea and her family have been nothing short of a perfect example for the ideal pet caregiver.

I would be surprised if you found anyone more thorough and caring on this app.”

“Donald (DJ) is an awesome pet sitter! He watched my new puppy when I had to go out of town last minute and was super helpful! I was nervous to leave the pup with someone new since he was new to our home also but he was probably more skilled at taking care of him/ training him than I was. Dj is super reliable, available on short notice for walks/weekend hangs and will definitely spoil your pup with attention. Highly recommended pet sitter!”
