“Tracy is the best! She is reliable, responsive and easy to work with. My foster dog was having a lot of trouble with barrier frustration which scared others off but she worked with him to make it work and ended up turning his whole experience around on days I had to go into the office.”
About: I've grew up with dogs and cats my entire life and I had so much fun with it! I was 10 years old when I began taking care of dogs, cats, ferrets and other small animals. I have done what I needed to give them a happy, long life. My sister gave me the responsibility of watching her dog while she was away and I couldn't be more happier! Her dog, Morgan, and I got along well, I made sure he was fed and watered and walked every night. I also have experience with care for chickens, snakes, rats, and my ferret, Marvel! I have so much time to devote to your dogs happiness and well-being! Caring for your beloved pets is my passion and I would love to do it anytime you need a helping hand. I'm attentive to dog behavior, aware of my surroundings, and I know how to handle most situations during dog walks. I used to work with my sister's dog, a Norwegian Elkhound mix, and he has improved in many ways.
“This was the second time I have used Barb and Rover. My dogs needs have evolved and Barb adapted well to the increased complexity needed to care for my dogs. I feel confident that I can rely upon her again when I need to.”
“Mackenzie attended to our 2 cats while we were gone for the week on vacation. She was very reliable & responsive to our cats needs. Communication was excellent, updating us with pictures and texts.”
“Jessica was amazing! I was a nervous wreck leaving my babies for the first time but Jessica made sure they got their medicine daily, gave them pets and took care of them. I got daily pictures of my kitties and she even included the resident neighborhood cat that visits every day too! Would definitely recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience, hands-on training knowledge, and truly individualized care. I previously worked as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with a wide range of needs, including safely administering medications and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. Beyond that, I have personal experience training dogs, including puppies, so I can reinforce good habits, basic commands, and positive behaviors while they’re in my care. I’m also attentive to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or specialized support. Most importantly, I take the time to really get to know each dog—their personality, quirks, energy level, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog thrives on physical activity, needs mental stimulation, or just wants extra love and reassurance, I adjust my care to fit them. I live in a home with a large yard and use long leads to give dogs the freedom to safely sniff, explore, and enjoy their environment at their own pace. My goal is always to create a calm, enriching, and loving experience so your dog feels completely at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work on my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present and attentive to each dog in my care. I’m able to plan my day around their needs—whether that means regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just spending quality time with them. Because of this flexibility, I’m not rushing in and out or trying to squeeze care into a busy schedule. I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is always their safety and comfort. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with the utmost love, patience, and responsibility. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, and I make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity, mental stimulation, and affection based on their individual needs. My yard allows for safe outdoor time, and I’m always attentive and supervising. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s established routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, paying attention to each pet’s unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”

We have a fenced in yard with additional area to walk in a leash. At clients’ homes, I will carefully and respectfully follow directions on where you are most comfortable with me walking and with which equipment you feel works best for your pet.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs since a very young age. I have always taken pride to help care for dogs. Even with special abilities or medical problems. My dog Luna was Diagnosed with Epilepsy. So I am experienced and know what to do it high risk situations I work a full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-5. I am free anytime after 5pm during the week. I am unable to do weekends or stay over nights. So if your looking for a 4-5 hour sitter. I'm your person!

About: I've had pets my whole life but since I moved out on my own I've had dogs, cats, a rabbit and a tarantula. I love them all and know they all have their own personalities and needs. I tailor my approach to care according to their unique personality ❤️ I work during the week, but remotely so I can be flexible outside of my meetings. I am usually available after 5 p.m. during the week and most weekends. I will play with/run around in the yard (if you have one) and walk dogs. With cats, I take their lead but understand they need stimulation and exercise for their overall health, so I will play with and pet them as they like.
About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.
“Second time having Natalie come and check on my cat while I was out of town. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of my cat and giving her the medications that she needs. Her attention to detail and caring attitude make going on a trip worry free.”
