About: I have experience working at a vet office, and worked dogsitting overnights and drop ins throughout my college career. I've had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and even horses, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and have one of my own who is one of the loves of my life! I'm happy to drop in multiple times per day around my work schedule (I work from home 9am-5pm) and I have an hour lunch which I use to visit dogs (or really any other animals) on my lunchtime rounds. If your dog needs help learning to socialize, my dog may be the perfect match, he is very easygoing and always eager to make a new friend. We go to the dog park frequently and he is used to playing with small dogs as well as some bigger breeds. I have experience with animals large and small, and I have a horse so giant breeds are still a breeze. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I have an open schedule for drop in visits and walks, and am available most weekends. Whether you are looking for a daily dog walker or a vacation sitter, I can help. I believe each pet requires an individual approach so that they are comfortable and happy during our visits. I strive to figure out what the pet needs to feel comfortable early on during our meet and greets so that I can keep them healthy and happy while you’re gone.
“Zalie was amazing! This was our first time leaving our furr child with a stranger and also the first time using Rover. We booked only a few days before we had to leave and Zalie was very accommodating to set up the meet and greets and go over logistics before we left. She was very professional and thorough and we felt great about leaving our pup with her. We have a very high energy border collie/ cattle dog that has specific exercise needs. Even in the rain, she took him on walks, to play fetch, and played a lot of mental exercises inside. She sent many updates and photos while we were gone and it felt like we were never wondering if he was having a good time. We 100% recommend Zalie !”
“Stella was amazing! She truly went above and beyond, ensuring my dog got plenty of exercise, provided peace of mind with daily updates, and she totally respected the house. When our flight got delayed, she even stayed a little longer to make sure our dog got a later potty break Highly recommend!”
“Celia was thoughtful, asked thorough questions in preparation, was mindful of the space, and very caring and conscientious for my dog and home while I was away. She went above and beyond! Both Velma and I would be delighted to work with her again.”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — including seniors, shy animals, and those with special needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands, build confidence, and start good habits early. As an active person who enjoys walking and hiking, your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. I’m also comfortable giving medications (oral and topical), cleaning up accidents with compassion, and maintaining a calm, structured environment — especially important for young or anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like my own. My goal is not just to provide care, but to offer consistency, comfort, and companionship while you're away. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Because I've structured my schedule around my pet responsibilities, adding care for others' pets fits naturally into my schedule. I'm organized, flexible, and attentive, and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care - whether that's for a quick drop-in or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your routine closely to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Safety is always a priority, paying extra attention in securing doors and gates, walk dogs on-leash, and watch for any changes in behavior or health. I treat your home with care and respect, and always aim to leave things just as I found them. My goal is for you to feel confident and your pet to feel at ease while you're away.

I will take my time with each dog and adapt to its unique temperment and personality. I will make sure your dog stays happy, healthy and SAFE in my care. Please pick me as your go to dog walker and you wont be dissapointed. Flexible schedule. I have my own dog who is my top priority in my life and I am very attentive to every dogs unique needs I provide reliable care for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds.

“Axel was great! They went above and beyond, sending multiple photos of our sweet boy a day. I truly appreciated the care to detail and kindness Axel showed our kitty. It made our trip more enjoyable knowing we could we had someone we could trust spending time with Adrian. Would definitely book Axel again!”
“Heather was nothing short of amazing with our three fur babies. We got regular pictures of them, she was so respectful of our home, and even left us a gift-dog paw ornaments! I could not be happier with her, and she is absolutely our first call the next time we need a sitter. So grateful to have found her.”
“Lela was really great with Esther!! She sent photos of her throughout the weekend and took great care of my place and my sweet girl. I would definitely recommend her to watch your special pet!”
“Melanie instantly fell in love with both of our dogs. Walter, one of our dogs, is a reluctant eater, and Melanie was determined to help him with that. She sent us a video of her hand feeding him. They both clearly enjoyed the process. She is extraordinarily good about staying in touch with what's happening, and we appreciated the updates and photos of our happy dogs while we were away. Melanie is exceptionally fine-tuned to this work, and we will always choose her for our dogs. She did such a great job that we included a large tip.”
“Jolie is excellent, as a person and in her care of animals. She is attentive and sends lots of pictures! She went the extra mile in trying her own kitty carrier by wearing it with my kitten to see if she liked it, and reported back to me, and in the love and thoughtfulness for how my older kitty interacted with my new kitten. I highly recommend her!!”
“Miranda was wonderful. We felt she followed all our instructions about house sitting and pet sitting to a tee. We were at ease knowing she was at our home. She sent us pictures and videos of the kitties too. We would highly recommend her. We can not thank her enough for making our trip away more relaxing.”
About: !! MY PRICES ARE SLIDING SCALE FOR PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOME!! (just message me) I love dogs and all animals, if you have more pets along with your dog I'll happily care for them also! I can care for special needs animals, and accommodate for animals with allergies. I'm very easy to contact and I'll send you frequent updates and pictures of your pets while I'm caring for them! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'll do an initial meeting in your home to make sure your dog(s) are comfortable with me in their territory, and we'll discuss all your pets needs while I socialize with them! I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.
“Thor house sat our two dogs while we took an extended trip. His communication was excellent and the dogs were very well cared for and loved. He even provided “report cards” on each dog which were both adorable and helpful. I would definitely use him again and give an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone!!”
“Deanna really did a great job with my 2 big dogs! She handled everything professionally and friendly, she took awesome pictures of my dogs and sent updates daily. It was nice knowing my dogs were at home in their normal routine, and they definitely really liked her. I think they were looking around outside for her when we got back after 8 days haha! I would definitely recommend Deanna”

“Kade took great care of my cat and my house while I was traveling. Everything looked great and my cat didn’t seemed phased by my absence. Great communicator as well!”
Ember G.
“Our dogger Cliffy had been in a fight with our other dogger and had multiple defensive wounds with stitches. We had to leave town to move our college age daughter about 5 days after the attack. Ember took Cliffy into her home for the weekend, tended his wounds, gave him his meds and kept an eye on him. Mid-day Saturday, she noticed one of the wounds seemed to be infected and called us. We were able to set up with our awesome vet a quick visit and payment over the phone and Ember ran him over and got the wound drained and cleaned and a new cone of shame. I would not have trusted our Cliffy to anyone else. I have known Ember since she was in about 6th grade and she has grown from a lovely child into a caring, responsible, relaiable adult. I couldn't trust anyone with my pets more than I trust Ember.”

Andrew N.
“I’ve known Andrew for over 13 years, and he’s always had a natural connection with animals. He’s patient, caring, and animals seem to instantly trust him. Andrew has rescued numerous stray animals over the years, always going out of his way to make sure they’re safe and cared for. He also trained his own puppy from scratch and is currently diving into agility training, which speaks to both his dedication and desire to keep learning and growing as a pet caregiver. He’s also an avid hiker and absolutely loves taking dogs along on outdoor adventures—making sure they’re not only exercised, but also having fun and feeling included. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with Andrew, and any pet parent can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in the best hands.”
