About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.
“Diana was so great & Roamie felt so comfortable with her. If I were a local she would be a top pick for sure! Great energy, great communication, great with my little Ro!”
About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.
About: We lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. Because our schedules can vary, we’re only able to accept boarding requests 2-3 months in advance. We appreciate your understanding! I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed. We have a fenced yard and I have experience with senior dogs where extra care, love and medication may be needed, and am totally fine with larger dogs as well.
About: Hi, my name is Isabel. I am an animal lover providing pet sitting, dog walking, and pet visits to your furry or feathery friends! I am very experienced with animals. I have had every pet you could possibly imagine, from dogs to parrots. My passion has grown stronger and stronger throughout my life, creating bonds with my clients and own pets. It has grown so strong as to create a future for me. I plan to pursue my dream career and fulfill my passion for animals by studying to become a veterinarian. I have always wanted this and never had a doubt in the world about working with animals in my future career. I know that I am greatly equipped and awesome for this position. This is not a job for me, but rather an opportunity to create bonds, share my passion, and reach my goals.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore them. We lost our two dogs within months of each other and I miss them terribly. I would love to spend some time with other doggies. I work part-time so have a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to drop in or take your dog(s) for a walk. I’m happy to also just hang out with them. Unfortunately my two doggies are no longer with me but I miss taking care of a dog so I would love to be able to help someone out.
About: I have had a dog all my life and have always helped my neighbors or friends with their dogs such as walking and feeding them when they needed assistance. I work full-time Monday through Friday (10 am-6 pm) but I could help all day on weekends or after/ before work if needed. I also have the help of my family who is around and can spend time with the dog as well. I have fenced yard at home, I have a very friendly dog who loves to go for walks and even play with dog toys outside.
About: Over the last 25 years I’ve cared for all different breeds with different personalities for family and friends. However, owning a husky is very challenging and has substantially improved my skills as a pet caregiver. I wouldn’t have it any other way! There’s no job more rewarding. I work remotely and my schedule is very flexible. My pup and I take long walks, or trips to the local dog park throughout the day. We would love the company of your pet on our adventures! I would rather not take care of pets in my home as space is limited. As long as the weather is nice I spend as much time as possible outside on walks or runs with the dogs I sit.
“Emily did an amazing job taking care of our dog and loving her as her own. She took the time to get to know our dog's needs and preferences, and communicated clearly and professionally. Thank you, Emily!”
About: We absolutely love pets and animals in general. Our service is personalized & exclusive for every pup as we only accept 1 client at a time and don’t have pets of our own nor children currently. We’ve cared for our own pets previously as well as our friends & family’s, including feeding, walks, playtime, vet visits, cuddling, providing love & affection etc. We have experienced applying insulin to diabetic dogs as we had a diabetic yorkie, Luna, in our family whom we lost at 9 years old due to the condition. We sadly also lost our beloved cockapoo Pilar of 11 years to lymphoma however spared no vet & hospitalization cost during that time. We find it fulfilling spending quality time with pets. We also speak Spanish / se habla Español. I work a hybrid schedule with flexible work conditions, my schedule is updated on the Rover app. If any needed week day(s) appears unavailable, please reach out to us either way for possible accommodation. I’m free on weekends therefore have additional time. My wife Katherine works at the school district during school hours Monday to Friday and is free on weekends as well. We live in a townhouse complex, our home has 2015 square feet therefore plenty of room for your pets to play and lounge. The complex has endless green areas for walks, the streets are not opened to public traffic as we have gated private security therefore very safe for pets. We live in a very pet friendly community.

Michelle was fantastic with our pup, Happy! Her communication was excellent, and we received many pics of their walks. Happy is not yet a year and can be a bit of a handful. Michelle handled his energy like a pro and treated our dog like her own. We feel very comfortable with Michelle and would use her again without a doubt!
Vanessa has been amazing with my dog. She’s always on time, super communicative, and you can tell she truly loves animals the moment she meets them. She’s friendly, warm, and my pup absolutely adores her. I really appreciate the care and attention she puts into every visit. I’d recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.
We needed a walker last minute and so glad we found Armin! He is communicative, punctual, and kind. He was immediately great with my Husky mix and has now become my go-to when we need a dog walker. He is very flexible, responds quickly, and provides detailed updates for every walk. Highly recommend!
