“Eileen was great, she was able to take the job last minute and without ever coming over or meeting our dog first and took care of her perfectly.”


2. Sophie W.
“Sophie is an amazing dog walker! She’s not only reliable and caring, but she truly understands pets, as she has one of her own. Her love for animals shines through in how she treats every dog like her own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just giving them the attention they need, Sophie goes above and beyond. I trust her completely, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and kind to care for their furry friends!”

About: I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’ve been a dedicated pet lover my entire life, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pets. I understand that your furry friends are part of your family, and I treat them as such. I have over 20 years of pet care experience with cats and dogs, from kittens/puppies to seniors, including experience caring for multiple dogs at once in doggie daycare/overnight boarding. However, I prefer being able to provide direct care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar home. I know that every pet is unique, and I’ll take the time to understand yours and their individual needs, routines, and preferences, so they feel comfortable and loved during your absence. Whether it’s midday visits for pets at home during long work hours, or extended weekends away, you can be sure your pets are in good hands. A bit about me: I currently live with 3 very talkative kitties of my own, who each have very unique personalities and preferences. I work mostly from home on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets extra love while you are away! For the safety of your pets and mine, I am unable to take same-day appointment requests with new clients. I like to do at least 1 meet and greet with your pets before any paid visits, so I can get to know your pets and their personalities, and make sure you feel comfortable with my services.

“Melissa was a wonderful house sitter for my cat. My cat is difficult and particular, but he grew to love Melissa. She is honest and trustworthy. Melissa would sent my photos of my cat when I was away. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”

“Thank you Liz! Appreciate your help!”


15. Emma R.
“My experience with Emma caring for my cat Jeeter has been incredible every time! She always makes sure to give him lots of pets and cuddles, feeds him on time, and even cleans the litter box for me even when I don’t ask her to. She always sends me pictures of my cat to ease my anxiety while I’m away from him, which I appreciate so much. There’s really no other person I would trust more than Emma to care for my baby!”


16. Aubrey M.

“Aubrey is a freaking rockstar. We were the difficult last minute booking with a needy dog and she checked every box for us. 15/10 would recommend”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have grown up caring for them. I recently lost my last dog to cancer and am hoping to spoil your pet until I’m ready to adopt my next one. Although I currently don’t have any pets, my experience with dogs has taught me how to understand their needs and provide a safe, loving environment. My previous dog was very dog reactive so I’m very familiar with strategies to avoid those triggers in my neighborhood. As a homeowner with a large, fenced-in yard, my house also offers plenty of space for your pets to run and play. If your older pet struggles with hard surfaces/splaying, unfortunately most of my house has hardwood floors with no rugs. My home is smoke-free, and I work from home several days a week, giving me the flexibility to spend lots of time with your pet. On days I’m in the office, I can easily come home at lunch to play with your pet. I’m currently working normal business hours and a hybrid schedule, working from home most days of the week. I work very close to home and can easily come home on lunch breaks for walk/potty breaks/play time/cuddles. Available most nights and weekends I have a large, fenced-in yard and live in a walkable neighborhood. I enjoy going for walks and look forward to giving your pet all the exercise they need, followed by some well-earned cuddles.


18. Bryn S.

“Communicated well! Appreciate her taking Bruno for a nice walk!”


19. Martha L.
“I have trusted my dog to Martha’s care while on vacations for years. She is one of the sweetest most caring people I know. She is careful and confirms she has all the details before each visit. She’s on the top of my list.”

About: Hi! Gunner and I are interested in having some dog friends over this summer. I am a teacher, and I will be at home most of the summer. I grew up with dogs and have an English Springer Spaniel. He’s really friendly and loves playing with other dogs! I am available for dog walks, in-home pet sitting, or overnight sitting. During the day, I will be around for walks, playing in the yard, and plenty of potty breaks. I’m only interested in sitting dogs who are (mostly!) well behaved and play well with other dogs. I came across Rover while looking for a place for Gunner this winter. It was a great experience, and I figured what better way to spend my summer than with some four legged friends :) If you have any questions, just let me know!
