“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”

“Ashley was wonderful during her visit with our pups! Even though it was just one visit, she was punctual, professional, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of. She communicated clearly, often, and followed all instructions perfectly. Because of this, I was confident our pups were in excellent hands! We truly appreciated her help on such short notice and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

“Amazing person to have watch your dog!”

“Skylar was very communicative with me prior and after taking my two dogs for their walk including with photos! During the booking, there was bad weather at the time (freeze) but offered playtime instead as a substitution to the walk since the temperature was too extreme for their paws. I greatly appreciated the offer and so did my doggy girls! They love her and will definitely be booking again!”

About: Hi, I'm Leslie! This is my alternative option since my husband refused to allow me and adopt another fur baby 😅. I've had dogs my entire life. From the time I was a toddler, dogs have been a constant and beloved presence in my world. Growing up, my family always had at least one furry friend, and caring for them became second nature to me. I’ve owned dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and responsibility. My daily routine includes long, enjoyable walks, playful training sessions, and careful grooming to keep my dogs healthy and happy. I understand the importance of personalized care and make sure to tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs and personality. My home is filled with love and laughter, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I genuinely love dogs and find immense joy in their companionship. If you’re looking for a reliable, passionate, and experienced dog sitter, I’d be thrilled to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. MEET AND GREET REQUIRED Dogs MUST be vaccinated. I’m an elementary teacher who is off in the summer and looking to keep myself occupied during this long break at home. I’m home all day basically unless I run to the store. I live in a house with a big back yard where your fur babies can run around and enjoy nature! We will always have someone out there as well to make sure everything is okay.

“I had a last minute work meeting and I needed her help! She responded same day and was communicative and great! Highly recommended, thank you!!🙏🏼”

About: I've owned pets my entire life. I've cared for all of my pets through senior ages, including managing many variations of care/medications, with compassion. I'm looking forward to helping care for others pets since I no longer have one of my own. Being a hands on dog mom for so many years, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy care taker to match my care expectations, so I'm hopeful to help others that experience the same for their own fur family member. I work from home 3 days a week, so I'm home 5 out of 7 days. I work 4 miles from my home so can make frequent visits on the 2 days I'm in office. I have no other pets or children in the home. I can care for your pet(s) as if they are in your own home. I can provide frequent bathroom breaks, walks, and medication administration.

About: Hi, I'm Harper! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience in taking care of kittens and small to medium-sized dogs.

What makes me different? Genuine Love & Attention – I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Small & Medium Dog Comfort – I provide dogs with the attention they need, from walks to playtime to cuddle time. Basic Training Fun – My cat is trained to do paw and high-five, so I am patient and enjoy getting pets involved in fun learning! Patient & Gentle Approach – I understand that certain pets require time to warm up, and I’m more than willing to work at their pace. Work From Home Availability – Since I work from home, I can give pets the attention they need throughout the day, so they are always attended to, comforted, and never left alone. I would be happy to look after your pet while you are away! Tell me how I can help. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with regular attention and care throughout the day. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet presence near them, I’ll make sure that they feel safe and at ease while you’re away. My primary concern is the comfort and well-being of your pet.

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

About: I have cared for different types/sizes dogs and cats for over 10 years while family/friends have needed assistance. I will treat them like they are my own and would be happy to provide pictures/updates through out the stay! I am currently working from home, so I am very flexible and can care for and love your pets like I do my own. I am able to make frequent drop-ins or stay with them, whatever makes you more comfortable! I have a 3.5 year old Staffordshire/Lab mix if your dog is needing a friend while you are away. I am also a self proclaimed tug-o-war champ and always enjoy a long classic game of fetch.

About: I’m detailed oriented, caring person and love animals. I’ve cared for family dogs in the past. Great opportunity for me to care for dogs more.

“Wendy knew exactly how to meet my timid girl, Bella. She was patient and kind and read her behavior like she was a professional dog trainer! I'm so impressed. She gave me great feedback on Bella and was flexible on bookings. I would hire her again!”

About: Hi friends! With 10+ years of hands on experience of dog care/training & cat care with my own and others, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’m not here to just watch your pets, I engage with them, play with them, and make sure they feel loved, safe and happy while you away. I take pride in going the extra mile, whether that’s sending you daily updates and photos, sticking closely to even the most strict unique care routine or just making sure they get plenty of snuggles and exercise. I believe in building real relationships not just with pets but with their people as well and many of my client have say their pets are more excited to see me than them. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring and enthusiastic sitter who will treat your pet like royalty! I’d love to meet with you and your fur babies. Feel free to message about any questions you may have. I have experience with in heat, unspayed females, high energy breeds, senior care, oral medication and sick care . I currently work part-time with Instacart, which allows me a flexible schedule, reliable transportation, and the availability to accommodate frequent check-ins and visits. I am also available 7 days a week. I am currently unable to offer pet sitting in my own home, as I live in an apartment. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits, and dog walking services. Additionally, I offer mobile dog washing as an optional add-on — I can either bathe your dog in your home (if you prefer) or take them to a trusted local facility for a wash. Please note that if you’d like to add the dog washing service, we can adjust the booking to include it, and payment will go through Rover to ensure everything is handled securely. I always aim to provide flexible, reliable care to meet both you and your pet’s needs!

“Dustin was amazing with my pup! She doesn’t usually like men and by the end of his walk with her she was giving him hugs and licking his hands! I think she wanted to go home with him! So wonderful to see! He also walked her for the full amount of time which I really appreciated because I’ve had other Rover dog walkers that were only gone for 10 or 15 minutes of the 30. We will definitely be asking Dustin to walk our dog more often. ☺️”

“Thanks for taking Stella out! We really appreciate it!”
