About: I have always had dogs and I would love to meet your Fur-Friend and hang out! I have experience with dogs of all ages but have a special soft spot for senior dogs. Our home is very pet friendly with a fenced in yard for dogs to relax catching some sun, or run around to burn off energy. The community has little traffic and is an ideal place for nice walks. Your dog is welcome to bring favorite toys, and a bed if you would like but not necessary. I am home during the day and have ample time to devote to your pup! Your BFF will get all the attention they can handle. I can work with your dogs schedule for food and walks. I have extensive experience in administering medication. If you use a crate at home and would like to bring one for your pets comfort, please do so. Otherwise I do not use one.

About: I use to animal sit before Rover was ever a thing. I have always had pets (multiple at times) and currently have a 4 year old mixed breed named Luna. I have handled all kinds of situations including emergency ones. My sister is a vet out of state so it runs in my blood. I would like to meet other animals and help people so this is the best of both worlds. I will treat them like my own fur baby! I can do evenings and weekends! I do work but I am available in the evenings from 5-8 during the week and on weekends any time that is needed for your fur baby. Just let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it happen. I will treat your fur baby like my own. They will get plenty of attention while you are away. Let me know what you want and I'll make it happen. I can handle any situation that should arise and have no problem sending you updates and pictures!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to pets and the deep, personal experience I've had as a dog parent. I cared for my Shih Tzu from the time she was just 8 weeks old until she passed at 17 years—she was truly family. That journey taught me so much, from puppy training and socialization to the unique needs of senior dogs, including administering medications, managing changing routines, and giving lots of extra love and patience. I bring that same level of care, attention, and understanding to every pet I sit. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with compassion, reliability, and a calm, loving presence. Whether your pet is a bouncy puppy needing structure or a wise senior who just wants comfort and consistency, I’m here to provide personalized, dependable care. Let me know if you'd like to add anything about other animals (cats, special needs, etc.) or your schedule/availability! As a mom of two, caring for others—whether human or furry—is a natural part of my daily life. Our household runs on routine, structure, and a lot of love, which makes integrating pet care feel seamless. I'm used to juggling schedules, staying organized, and paying close attention to the needs of those around me. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or winding down with quiet cuddle time in the evening, I can easily incorporate pet care into my routine. I’m home often and have the flexibility to provide consistent attention, play, and companionship. Plus, my kids love being around animals and have grown up understanding how to treat pets with kindness and respect—your pet will feel like part of the family. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always the same: creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that meets each pet’s unique needs. In my home, pets become part of our family. I maintain a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, outdoor walks, feeding schedules, and quiet time for rest. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and low-stress—with lots of space for lounging, cuddles, and play. We have a big fenced in yard that is safe for plenty of outdoor time. If a pet has specific needs (medications, crate training, or special diets), I’m happy to follow instructions to a T. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s meal times, walking routes, or favorite toys—and keep you updated with regular photos and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.
About: As a former veterinary assistant and kennel technician, I have experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, each with their own unique temperaments and personalities. This, combined with my previous experience as a dog sitter, makes me confident in my ability to care for any furry friend I have the pleasure of meeting. In addition, I grew up always having lots of dogs, which has instilled in me a deep love and compassion towards them! I am currently not working, allowing me to be very flexible in the days and times I am available to care for your pet. Weekdays as well weekends are work perfectly for me, and I’d be happy to accommodate any schedule that best suits you. When caring for pets in a clients home, I always make sure to adhere to the instructions the owner has given me regarding their pet/pets. Whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, a preferred food type, daily walks around the neighborhood or in the backyard, or administering medications. I make it a priority to ensure that everything is properly taken care of while also giving the pet plenty love and affection to help them feel more comfortable and at ease in their owner’s absence.

Mary L.
“I travel a lot overseas and was in need of someone to dog sit my pitbull Kahlúa. A friend of mine recommended Mary L. When Kahlúa and Mary met for the first time, they became instant friends. Mary was very friendly and I can tell she had a great love for animals. When I was abroad, Mary maintained contact with me via email almost on a daily basis sending pictures and updates over the past couple years. Mary has looked after Kahlúa for me several times and I would not entrust anyone else to look after her. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a professional caring dog sitter for either a short or long period of time.”

Breinne H.
“When my dog Callie began losing her sight and needed regular insulin shots and eye drops to keep her comfortable. I was overwhelmed. Brienne stepped in not just as friend but as a devoted caregiver. She assisted me with every detail of Callie's complex care routine with patience and love. Giving insulin shots and administer eye drops multiple times a day is not small task, especially when it is essential to preserving what's left of your pet's comfort and health. But Brienne did all with compassion. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog like they're family Brienne is that person.”

Jennifer C.
“We have known Jennifer for about 10 years. We met Jen when she cared for our neighbor’s two dogs while they went on vacation and they highly recommended her. We have a cat named Maxi that has a medical condition requiring a special diet with meals provided twice per day at breakfast and dinner. Maxi was 6 years old when we met Jen and we have always trusted her to care for Max when we go away. He is now 16 years old and very healthy! When we're away, Jennifer is happy to make two trips to our home every day to feed Max and spend time playing and interacting with him. We can't tell you how grateful we are knowing Max is well cared for while we're away. Anyone considering a pet sitter for their pets, who they love and consider family members, should know that they won't find another person as trustworthy in their home, dependable, experienced or caring as Jennifer.”
Lisa J.
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dogs received! From the moment we met, I knew my pups would be in loving, capable hands. She treated my dogs like they were her own—with so much patience, attention, and affection. I got regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave me complete peace of mind. It’s clear she has a natural connection with animals and a true heart for caregiving. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I am THRILLED that she is choosing to join Rover and other pet parents will be as blessed as I have been to experience her loving care.”
Emma A.
“Emma is a wonderful and caring sitter. She is very diligent with keeping schedules for feeding, letting them out, and with medications. Emma gives good feedback regarding anything that’s going on or just sending pictures showing our happy pups and cat. I highly recommend Emma to watch and care for your pets!”
Jeffrey P.
“I have known Jeff for many years. In that time i have personally left my dogs with him too many times to count! His house is very accomaditing, with a fenced in back yard and plenty of space for the critters to roam around. I would recommend him to any dog owner looking for a safe and friendly home to board there pups! 5 stars all around.”
