“Gabrielle is wonderful! She is very responsive and always on time! Our dog eze seems to really enjoy when she walks him and it’s great to get updates and photos of him on the walk!!”
“Stephanie has been wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Our pupper enjoys every walk she takes with her. We can really tell that Stephanie cares about our dog and enjoys what she does. When we’ve had issues that we needed to cancel at the last minute, Stephanie was responsive and more than flexible in rescheduling and helping us. As long as Stephanie continues to work on rover, we will continue to do our best to make every accommodation needed to book her every time we need someone.”
About: New customers get $20 off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/tinay36247 I've had two dogs, three cats and worked at a non-profit animal shelter for a number of years. I love animals of all kinds and am excited to take care of your family member! I generally only take one furry friend at a time so that they get my unlimited attention, however, if from same family, I can take more than one. Please message me. During the weekends, I am always at home and around the neighborhood. We have several great dog parks around the neighborhood. If you do not see any available days, please message me and I will be glad to work with you! My schedule can be flexible and adjusted to suit your needs. I have a fenced in backyard and will be sure to always be available to play with and accompany your pet. I will send pictures and videos to update you while you are away. I am responsible and can administer medication if needed. I would love to meet with you and your pet(s) first before you make a decision on a sitter. During that time, we can discuss all of your pet's needs, eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc...No play will be unsupervised.
“Caitlyn was so pleasant and patient with our dog. She was conscious of salt on the side walks- made sure he did not step on it. She did not rush him and watched him like a hawk. We would def. have her walk Mango again. Mango appreciates you, Caitlyn!”
About: I have my own golden retriever that I care for and have lived and cared for a golden doodle while in college for 3 years. I make sure dogs are well taken care of on walks and have enough enrichment time. I am currently available full time to walk dogs/do drop in services. I am also available for last minute requests such as walking or drop in services. I have a very friendly golden retriever that can accompany your dog on walks or for play dates during drop in visits only if requested. If not requested than I will walk your dog alone and come for drop in visits alone.
About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

About: For the last 11 years of my life I have taken care of my amazing dog who sadly passed away in 2024. Alongside taking care of my own pet, I have also taken care of others' pets. Friends, family or strangers, I always treat any pet as my own. I love all pets and have an extensive amount of experience in pet care, from dogs to cats to other animals as well. I am well versed in bathing, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. My dedication to the well-being of animals goes beyond just the basic necessities; I strive to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and thriving in their environment. As a current graduate student, I am available during certain months of the year, including some additional weeks for breaks. I will always update my availability when I am in town, and will be more than ready to take care of your loved ones! I will only be offering dog walking and non-overnight dog/cat sitting services. I prefer to provide my pet sitting services in the home of the pet, but will make exceptions if needed. Typically, I like to use the pet's belongings when engaging with them, but I also have supplies of my own if needed. No matter your pet needs, I will make sure to care for your pet to the greatest extent.
“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”

Tina Y.
“I have known Tina for about 20 years now and she is one of the most living, reliable and compassionate people I know. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a dog caregiver. She worked for a non profit animal shelter for several years and has also dog sat for me (when my dog was still alive) in the past. Her experience and personality make her more than qualified to be a dog caregiver. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tina to anyone.”
