“Sage absolutely loves Bunny! She is so sweet and has been prompt with arrival times and makes sure Sage feels special during their time together. She is extremely responsive to messages (takes great pictures!) and we are lucky to have her take care of Sage.”

About: I grew up around horses and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I now balance a desk-based career with pet sitting and dog walking, which is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and routines, and I aim to make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. When I lived in Colorado, I went through extensive training with my own dog, which gave me a strong foundation in structure, consistency, and reading behavior. I now have the best boy, Scruff, and I bring that same level of care and awareness to every dog I work with. What I Provide: * Reliable, consistent care! * Walks and visits tailored to your dog’s energy level and routine. * Updates and photos so you always know how things are going. * Careful attention to behavior, mood, and any changes. * Respectful, clean care in your home and for your pet’s space. * Happy follow detailed instructions, routines, and preferences. * Will adapt to your dog’s positive and negative markers and work with cues that are already familiar to your family. What Sets Me Apart: * Lifelong experience with a variety of pets with a strong instinct for animal behavior. * Hands-on training experience, with a focus on structure and consistency. * Experience caring for a senior dog, so I understand patience, routine, and trust. * Calm, observant approach that works well for both energetic and more sensitive dogs. * Clear, consistent communication so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very selective about who cares for my own dog, Scruff, and hold myself to that same standard! I’m always happy to do a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible and dependable schedule for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I prioritize consistency for pets who thrive on routine. Because I have control over my day-to-day schedule, I’m intentional about the bookings I take on to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care. This also allows me to be responsive and flexible when needs shift or plans change. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and instructions so things feel as normal and stress-free as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, or any specific preferences your dog is used to. I’m mindful of the details that matter, like secure leashing, safe entry and exit, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. I also keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels, and I’ll communicate anything notable so you’re never left wondering how things are going. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets can settle in comfortably. My dog, Scruff, is well-trained, and I ensure any interactions are safe, gradual, and a good fit for both dogs, though I don’t do introductions without pet parents first! At the end of the day, I understand how much trust this takes. I treat every pet and home with the same level of care and respect that I expect for my own.

“We are very happy with Mia! She was punctual and pleasant at our meet-and-greet. She took our dog for two walks at the times requested and fed her. I felt like we left Pepper in good hands. I recommend her, and will definitely hire her again.”

“Kathleen has been a lifesaver, stepped in at the very last minute after I began fostering a dog and needed coverage for a long work day 2x a week. Raider obviously adores her and she is prompt, thorough and very loving with Raider. I also scheduled an extra visit when I had an unexpected meeting and she was able and willing! She has had to roll with some issues as he is a new foster, out of shelter for 6 months and we are just getting a routine down. Thank you Kathleen!”

About: I have had hands on experience working as an animal assistant. I worked along side the veterinarian and other staff. I have also grown up with a pet (dog) in my family so I understand how important it is to make sure they are well taken care of with food, water or walks and play time. I am very dedicated and enjoy spending time and taking care of pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate bookings with short notice. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care visits, with flexibility for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand plans can change and always do my best to work with pet parents’ schedules and their pets’ needs. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. While I provide care in clients’ homes, I make sure pets stay in a familiar and secure environment where they feel comfortable. I follow owners’ instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I believe communication is important and want pet parents to feel confident knowing their pets are receiving loving and attentive care.

“Melissa has been so good to myself & my new little puppy, Bear! She is very flexible and communicates well- not only with updates (pictures & messages), but she is also able to provide input with any questions I may have. She is always attentive to Bear’s needs, and goes out of her way to spend the extra time with him that a puppy needs. She has made this experience easy and comfortable, so I have no worries leaving my puppy in her care. I would recommend Melissa over and over again!”

“Jeffrey takes the time to take care of the dog and build up positive experiences with your animal. I am grateful that he is patient as Zuzu is a bit stubborn. Thank you for all of your help Jeffrey.”

“Judy is the best! I had hip surgery & needed someone to walk my dog Roxy. On very short notice, I sent a request to Judy on Rover & she quickly responded that she could help me out. She came the next day & when Roxy & I met her, you could just tell how much Judy truly loves dogs! She got down on the ground & Roxy was all over her with kisses. I always said that dogs know what people are genuine dog lovers & who are not. Roxy knew right away that Judy was the walker for her. I totally agree! Judy’s been walking Roxy for over 2 weeks now…she is always on time & is constantly in contact with me. I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 3 cats in my childhood home. I have one old boy left from then, and I still help out in his senior years. I have groomed those three at home, and since moving into my own house, I dog sit small-large sized dogs, both in my own home and in clients homes. I regularly brush the dog’s teeth, trim nails, bathe, and brush their overcoat. I also take care of the grooming for my own two cats. I’ve grown up around all different types of animals, so I’m ready for any specific needs your pets have. I’m currently unemployed and dog sitting to make money, so I am free at all times of the day and night to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but that’s no problem because I do not mind a little outside time to take them outside on the leash. I have a park down the street that I walk the dogs to so they can sniff around and stretch their legs. I can also do any extra food care, brushing, bathing, medication, or any needs you have from me. I can fit a crate if needed, but I don’t require any kind of crate.

About: I really enjoy being outdoors and walking my dogs regularly, since I was able to take a few steps I've enjoyed walking dogs. I have always felt I have a good connection with animals in general (except spiders). I understand you must be patient when taking dogs for a walk as some dogs may be older and have different needs. I've had dogs as small as chihuahuas to yellow labs. I volunteer at animal services and Born Free animal shelter when I can. I really care about the well being of dogs and their happiness. I can bring treats on our walk or any toy they enjoy. I am very athletic so I have no problem running with the dog(s) either. I understand the importance of being able to trust that your animals are in safe hands♥️ I teach at a local elementary school so afternoons work best for me! I’m available any time of day on the weekends. My husband is home during the day and is able to help out as well if your baby is at our house The safety of your pet and of mine are my number one priority. If I’m taking care of your baby at my house, The animals will not ever be left alone, especially if it’s a new introduction. And if I’m coming to you, any and all detailed directions are very much appreciated.

“Shelby is on time and very attentive to king. Knowing she is walking my king makes me feel better do to my situation”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.

About: I have been around and taken care of pets my whole life! I often like to take trips to animal shelters just to give extra love to as many dogs and cats as I can, so I figured why not help people out on this app who don’t always have time for their fur baby! I am in flight school, meaning I have a flexible and pretty open schedule! I don’t have a set schedule for the most part, so I can work around you! My apartment complex has a dog park, depending on if your dog is a social butterfly or not. I’d love to take your pet on trips to the beach, or I can also offer to hang out with your pet in your home to escape the heat!

“Earl is a skittish rescue and trusts almost no-one but she did VERY well with Anna. Anna ran her and after the first morning, Earl really looked forward to each meeting. Highly recommend.”

“Raelin did a great job walking my two dogs! She had excellent communication, sent plenty of photos, and arrived on time. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, horses, and turtles. I love animals. I walk dogs, feed dogs vet recommended amounts, bathe dogs, and give dogs oral medication when necessary. My life goal is to take care or have a furry best friend in my life everyday because pets deserve the most love. I work a full time job. 40 hours a week. I have weekends off. I can pet before or after work. And on my lunch break depending on the distance. I have guinea pigs and ferrets. I would provide services to the nearby dog park, park walks, and in the comfort of your home care too.
