About: I grew up with dogs and have loved them ever since! It has become a passion to love and care for animals. I have always looked after family and friend's pets at a younger age, but mostly as of now. I currently work a part-time job and am available Thursday through Sunday in the mornings and afternoons. Some nights may work with my schedule if I am available. The owners wants and needs are important! I am careful to make sure your pet is comfortable in their own home or out and about on a walk.

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.


8. Jacqueline M.
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog

12. Alisha J.
“Leaving your animal family at home while you're away can be a very stressful time for us pet parents. I used to get incredibly anxious knowing I would need someone else to care for my animals, when I would RATHER be happy and excited for an upcoming trip or vacation! If this sounds like you, ALISHA is your solution. Alisha was put on this earth to care for animals. She has taken the best care of our dogs, turtle, birds, lizard, and fish while we've been away allowing my husband and I to actually enjoy ourselves. She follows all instructions and consistantly goes above and beyond. She sends you so many pictures and updates you wont even need to check your camaras (if you have them).You will love her! We do:)”

I care for our furry friend and clean up after them and myself!




14. Heather C.
“Heather is great with animals dogs and cats alike. She makes sure they have the proper food even makes fresh homemade food and treats. Makes sure her dogs have exercise and play time outside Takes them to play parks in her area And they play with other animals. Health wise they are taken to the vet for regular check ups. She is great with other people's animals. Dog sits when needed. My pets all love her, I have three dogs and two cats. You would not go wrong using her as a helper.”


15. Joshua W.


“Josh was great! We needed someone to take our Rottweiler, Minnie, out in the mornings and evenings while we were traveling - just too much “dog” for my older parents to take care of. Josh was extremely caring to Minnie and made sure to send pictures & status updates after every visit. He fed her treats took her out for walks, and made sure she got some attention. It’s hard to find someone you can trust that can handle such a big dog. We were so glad that it worked out - we will book him again!”


16. Elaina F.
“I cannot recommend Elaina enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my three cats while I was away, and I was beyond impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. Not only did she make sure they were well-fed and had fresh water, but she also spent time playing with them and giving them the affection they needed. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were happy and in great hands. When I returned, everything was just as I left it—clean, organized, and my cats were clearly well cared for.”




17. Devin G.

“Devin was great to work with and cared about my dog. He was always on time, checked in and out, and did his job well! I look forward to using him again.”
