About: My kids and I love to walk dogs. This is an opportunity for us to spread the love as we do not have a dog of our own. Hiring me = 1, 2 or all 3 of my kids helping. My schedule is fairly flexible so I will be able to meet your needs especially if given more notice. Summer and after school hours means more likely one of my kids will be available to give additional love to your pet. Will walk your dog wherever you prefer. Dog can also be taken to an enclosed area like a dog park so the dog can run around freely.

About: I have been taking care of and helping dogs from puppies to seniors since I was 10 years old. I have always loved fur babies, so when my family started fostering I was so excited. Now I have so much knowledge of how to care for and love on our furry friends. I work part-time, so I am frequently available to care for your furry loved ones! I tend to work short shifts during the day, meaning your fur babies will not be left alone for long. My schedule is also flexible, so I will do my best to work you in, especially in an emergency. I have a heart full of love to give. I have a vehicle and don't mind driving whenever and wherever needed. I will gladly send you photo updates of your pets, play with them to their hearts content, fill up their bellies, empty their bellies and give them lots of cuddles.

“Thank you so much Christine! My babies were happy when we got home so that tells me that you gave them lots of care and love! ❤️ I appreciate YOU and will definitely book you again.”


“We are so happy to have found out about Rover. The sitter of our choice was and is Charish she is so caring and sends pictures. Charish is kind and responsible about doing her work. Thank you.”

“I highly recommend Meggan! She was exceptionally sweet in that she made additional trips to our home to make visual contact with one of our dogs because he is very shy & hid most of the time. She informed me daily how things were going which I appreciated. Overall an A+.”


“Lexi is amazing!! She was super sweet with our old anxious dog and by the end he was whining because he missed her visiting him! Fantastic communication, reports and photos too. Would recommend Lexi in a heartbeat.”

I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.

I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!”

About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.

Piper G.
“Piper is an absolute gem! Having been surrounded by animals her entire life, her genuine love for all creatures truly shines through. We've seen firsthand her incredible dedication, as she's been an integral part of numerous foster journeys, helping to care for and socialize countless puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs. When Piper looks after your pet, you can rest assured they'll be treated with the same boundless affection and care as if they were her very own. Highly recommend!”

Linda & Charlie B.
“I’ve known Linda for probably 15 years and she has taken care of my dog many times. She’s always very diligent to walk her multiple times a day and keeps me posted throughout the day with photos and updates about how she’s doing. I love that. She has been willing to keep to my schedule that I have set up with food and treats at certain times of the day, which keeps my dog on routine. She’s just super compassionate and loves to play with her and involve her in whatever it is that she’s doing and my dog always comes home having thoroughly enjoyed herself. There’s never a doubt in my mind that my dog’s getting anything other than the best care when Linda is watching her. And it’s really fun to see her great Linda after not having seen her in a while and she’s very excited to see her.”

Star Sitter


“Kassie is absolutely amazing with our fur baby! She is responsible, respectful, attentive, and incredibly loving. She goes above and beyond to care for them.”


Vivi S.
“Being a very overprotective pet owner,I was very reluctant to leave my 2 Pyrenees and 3 rescue cats over the holidays. Both dogs are on special diets which can be a bit tricky. Vivi met with me and my furry friends well before my departure and even made a follow up visit days before I left. The animals greeted her like an old friend !It was very apparent they found a friend. Vivi called me each day with an update and each time I called the house she was there for any questions I might have had.(told you I was overly protective) To sum it up,if you are looking for someone to care for and love your friends as you would contact Vivi....”
