About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have my own sweet dog, Freddy, and understand the joy pets bring. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other companions, I treat every pet like family, giving them love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I work from home a lot, and my husband is home all the time. I also have time during the weekend and after work from 5-10 Whether at my home with a fenced backyard or yours, I provide safe play, daily walks, and follow your dog’s routine for comfort and happiness.


“Kartik regularly provides our k9's with first class care at a very reasonable cost. Not only is he professional and well trusted but he is also pleasant and enjoyable to communicate with. We have every intention of continuing our ongoing Rover relationship with Kartik for the foreseeable future.”


About: I have worked in the pet care industry in some capacity since I was 16 years old. This includes experience working in kennels, doggy daycares, dog walking, and overnight pet sitting! I am currently in medical school, trying to maintain my passion for pets while funding my education. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and look forward to giving your pet all the love and care they need and more! As a medical student, I am occupied during the morning, but I am typically available most afternoons and evenings, and every weekend. I have even more availability during holidays and breaks! Every pet I care for gets my undivided attention for the entirety of the service. In addition, I have been trained and certified in pet CPR and first aid multiple times over the years (last renewed in June 2023), and am happy to abide by any specific safety rules you provide.

“Abby has been a godsend for us. She’s been regularly taking my dogs out for months now and she is reliable, friendly, and a good communicator. She was especially heroic about a month ago when she arrived to discover one of my dogs having a stroke. She contacted me right away, was calm, thorough, and helpful, and I was able to come home to take my dog in to the vet. We’re fully recovered and I can’t even imagine where we’d be without Abby. I’d rebook her in a heartbeat.”


About: I’ve always been passionate about animals and have a 5-year-old dog of my own. Caring for pets has been a big part of my life, and I understand the importance of giving them the love and attention they deserve. With my experience, I’m committed to ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I’m here to help whenever you need someone to care for your dog. My home is a safe and comfortable space where your dog will feel right at home.

About: Hi! I am reliable, friendly and very flexible with my schedule. Dog sitting has been the thing I didn’t know I needed in my life! I wish I could have one of my own but it’s not the right time for me. I would love to care for your pet. I helped raise/train my childhood dog, have taken care of puppies, deaf animals, and gained the approval of a very protective and anxious Doberman with lots of patience and attention (my greatest accomplishment). Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with utmost care to keep you and your pet happy! I am a fine artist with a MFA in painting, and I take on interior design and other creative jobs as a freelancer. I will be traveling starting August 25th, but will be back late November. I love being outside, exercising, and hanging at parks, so I’m glad to be joined by a pup and will give them all the love. My routine already involves walks/runs outside and being home a lot, so it fits in great! When i’m not working, I am exercising, planning, making art and reading. I am very available to provide proper pet care and give pets the attention they need. My schedule changes by the days and weeks. In caring for the pet in their home, I make sure to know where everything is that I need and respect the home in making sure the pet doesn’t make a mess.


“Candace is great! My cat, who never let her previous sitter get close enough to touch her (even after 4 years!), warmed up to Candace quickly. Candace is reliable, thoughtful, and communicative.”


About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I was previously employed as a veterinary technician when I lived in Florida. I do have a part time job with a flexible schedule, but will have the availability before, after, or on my breaks during my shifts to take care of your babies. I have a dog of my own who has severe anxiety so I will be willing to do whatever necessary to aid with that. I do not mind walking your babies in this cold winter weather.
