“Julie is FABULOUS! She offered to do a Meet & Greet beforehand which I loved. She is super sweet and our foster pup immediately took to her! (He even tried to follow her out the door as she left.) She took excellent care of him, and I have no doubt she treats all her clients like her own. If we need someone again- Julie will be our go-to!”

“Dennise was a joy to work with. Our plans were a bit up in the air and Dennise was so easy to work with and accommodating with our ever changing schedule. I highly recommend her services.”


About: From caring for beta fish and guinea pigs at a young age to looking after pit bulls and dogs of all sizes, I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I quickly became the neighborhood pet sitter, and even now as an adult, I’m often the person friends and neighbors call for walks, drop-ins, and reliable pet care. I provide attentive, dependable care and work to create a safe, comfortable, and loving experience for every pet I watch. Because I genuinely love animals and connect with them easily, I focus on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while helping them feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also value communication and make sure owners feel informed and reassured through regular updates, photos, and messages. My experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities has helped me build trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. You can expect flexible scheduling and dependable care, with open availability on Fridays and remote workdays throughout the week that make me available for drop-ins, walks, and extra attention for your pets. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my apartment, which has access to dog parks and nearby walking trails for exercise and playtime. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, play, and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining clear communication with owners through updates and photos. My priority is always making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Olivia was an absolute dream. She was so sweet and caring with my 2 fur babies. She was prompt and compassionate. The girls loved her. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. We loved her!”

“Logan was prompt and professional at booking and he was respectful and kind when picking up and dropping off our dog. We enjoyed having his help and look forward to using him for walks in the future. Highly recommend!”


About: My family has had dogs for 14 years and I've personally cared for my cat, Delilah, for 13 years. Throughout high school I regularly pet sat for family and friends, and today I'm the go-to sitter for my sister's cat and fish on an ongoing basis. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work a flexible schedule from home, which means I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits on most days, and I'm available for house sitting when owners are traveling. I'm reliable, communicative, and will always confirm scheduling details in advance so you never have to worry. I provide care in your pet's own home, which means they get to stay in the environment they know and love, no stress of a new place. I'm attentive to each pet's individual routine, dietary needs, and personality. I have 13 years of experience caring for my own senior cat, so I'm especially comfortable with pets that require extra attention or gentle handling. I always send updates and photos so you feel connected even when you're away.
About: My step-dad is a vet and I worked with him at the animal hospital from ages 11 to 26. We have a 66lb Berniedoodle (Preemo) and a cat (Guru). We have a big yard to play with dogs outside. It’s not fenced so dogs only go outside when supervised. I also trained aggressive dogs in the mountains of Mexico (Guanajuato) so they could get adopted instead of put down. I work during the day Mon-Fri and my wife mainly works from home so our pets aren’t rarely alone. I prefer to spend all day outside or at the park so dogs will get plenty of exercise. Our dog and cat love each other and everyone they’ve ever met. Our house is big and we have a lot of property to play fetch and run around.
“I was new to Rover and nervous about someone walking my girls while I was at work. I’ve had an amazing experience with Chris, my pups LOVE her, she takes great care of them, and she’s very communicative. So glad we found her 🤍”

“Sam is a dog charmer! She can easily handle a large difficult dog. My dog showed aggressive behavior towards her when they first met. Sam was so patient and sweet, my dog fell in love with her.”

About: I am an energized individual who enjoys runs and walks! I will frequently walk your pup/dog, show affection, attention, and play around! I used to have a dog for 7 years and I trained her, gave her bathes, took her on hikes/walks/runs, and cleaned after her.

As previously stated I will walk your pup/dog, clean after him/her, play with him/her, go for runs, etc. I look forward to meeting your pup/dog! I currently work remotely and am able to give your pet all the attention it needs! I’m an affectionate and energetic individual. I am able to take breaks throughout the days to give your dog walks or to just play around with your fur baby. I also have a fenced backyard. My puppy runs around all of the time. We do have a pool that is not fenced in. I have a fenced backyard but I do have a pool that is not fenced in. I can also walk your dog multiple times a day as I work from home.

About: Hey, I’m Doug. I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve owned and loved several different breeds over the years, and right now I share my home with a big, lovable German Shepherd and a 16 year old calico cat who has a lot of sass and attitude. I’m also a dad of two, and while my kids are in school I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being outside, going on long walks, throwing the ball, and ending the day with plenty of snuggles. I’m very responsible and take pet care seriously, but I also try to keep things easy and fun. I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like they’re part of the family, I’d love to help out. I’m primarily available on weekdays between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, which lines up well with mid day check ins, drop ins, and visits while you’re at work. I’m also available some evenings, depending on the day. I can probably work with your schedule, just message me! I’m a parent of two, so I focus on providing reliable care during school hours and select evenings when I can give your pet my full attention. If you have a schedule question or a special request, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to talk through what might work best. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important familiarity is, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medication, litter box care, playtime, and any little quirks your pet might have. I always make sure your home is left just as I found it. Food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes are scooped, and I do a quick check to make sure everything looks safe and secure before I leave. I also spend time with your pet based on what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s playtime, gentle attention, or just calm company. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos so you know how things are going and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well cared for.
About: I have a wide range of pet sitting experience, from house sitting a small senior dog to walking a huge dog with lots of energy! I have a lot of free time in May and would love to take care of some pets! Availability is wide range and I don't mind last minute requests. I care for pets in their home by meeting their needs with exceptional care and attention to detail. I can evaluate how the pet is responding to me and whether they want space or cuddles.

“Halle is our dog’s absolute best friend! Ever since Halle started coming to walk her during the week, Pepper has immediately become so well behaved and happy! Halle is quick to answer if I have any questions or requests about pepper, and she gives her the same love we do! I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Halle! Thank you!!!”

About: I learned how to properly care for pets as I was growing up. But I started caring for my own pets as an adult after college. I’ve given them the best life possible over 16 years, even as they have aged and needed more care. I also help with strays, lost pets, and feral community cats. I am an elementary educator at an early-start school! I have time available most late afternoons and evenings. I’m also available most weekends, so I’m very flexible outside of my school hours! Caring for pets is something I take seriously and invest time in. I ensure that I follow client’s instructions and follow the routines and procedures that the pets are used to. I treat client’s pets the way I would want my own pets to be treated!

I can’t say enough about Rachel and the great job she did taking care of our sweet chocolate lab Mik. He has a lot of energy and she took him for a long beautiful walk in a park. From the start, you could see she made an immediate connection with Mik and that made us comfortable too. So grateful for her and the way she communicated through regular texts and pics! She is definitely our go-to and highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, friendly, kind-hearted person who will listen to your pets (and your) needs!!
