About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly!

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’m happy to follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they’re doing! I currently work full time with 2 days off.

I’ll closely follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and their normal routine. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to keep pets secure.

“A true dog lover! My pup really enjoys her walks.”

About: I've had pets my whole life from lizards, snack, rats, chinchillas, fish. dogs, cats, even chickens! Our animals are apart of our family and treated as such. We even delivered our own puppies and kittens before. We love to walk and stroll with our big dogs and let our chinchillas perch and catch sun up high. Having experience with so many pets makes us the best fit for any circumstance. Right now we are able to care for pets at night or mainly on the weekends. Usually during the week we are full time workers as well but having our animals crate trained and living close allows us to be home and play often. They would also travel with us to any destination. I can easily crate your dog if that's what you choose, otherwise they have freedom of the house. We do potty breaks every hour and have at least 1-2 long walks a day ranging from 30-45 minutes depending on age and dogs energy level. We feed them based on customer request and like to give them love and treats as often as one lets us. We go to the park daily as well which entails our furry dog friends to come. They always love park time.

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

About: I have two Aussiedoodle puppies of my own who are near and dear to my heart. I have house sat and dog sat for more than 10 years now. I love to play with the dogs and give them all the love and attention I have. I will be sure to complete everything you have me do for the dogs or around the house. At this time, I cannot provide stay overnight in your home as I have a baby. I also work during the day, but can do many drop in visits between the hours of 5am-7am and 4pm-11pm. I have many references to provide you if you are interested in learning more. I would love to meet you and your dog prior to providing my services for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. Thank you for considering me to watch your furry friend. I do work during the day so I can do drop in visits between the hours of 5am-7am and 4pm-11pm. I am currently not accepting overnight care as I have a baby and I need to be here at home with him. I will let the dogs out as many times as they need. They will not stay outside for long periods of time unless you let me know that they can.

About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be a great anchor for an early morning walk or early afternoon walk. I am available Mon-Thurs 5am-7:30am and 3:30pm to 8:30pm. Friday, Saturday and Sundays I am available all day for those walks and check ins that are needed when errands outs are the priority. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean up thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.

About: Hi, I’m Khyli! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been providing dependable pet care for over 14 years. What started as helping friends, family, and neighbors has grown into a passion and career I truly love. I’m currently a pre-veterinary student and enrolled in a Veterinary Medicine program, so I’m always expanding my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and compassionate care. My goal is to become a veterinarian, and every pet I care for is treated with the same patience, respect, and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care that fits their unique routine and personality. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. That’s why I prioritize communication, consistency, and plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your routine. I know consistency is important for pets, so I always strive to keep them on their normal schedule as much as possible I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else because they’re family. My goal is to make that process as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re doing well while you’re away.

“Amita is wonderful! She takes great care of Nico and is always attentive and reliable. Today Nico had an upset stomach, and she went above and beyond by cleaning everything up. I really appreciate her kindness and extra care. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet boarding and looking after the pets of my friends and family. I have assisted in training puppies as well as adult dogs, so I am more than happy to assist in training your animals while you're away by keeping up a specific schedule or regimen. I also have personal experience caring for elderly dogs as well as dogs with anxiety disorders, happy to work with them in any special ways needed. I typically find myself doing a lot of my busy work and essential activities in the afternoons and evenings. For this reason, majority of my availability for short visits will be in the mornings, but happy to discuss other arrangements if needed. I have a large backyard and property that your bestie will just love, if they stay over at my place. I have multiple sized dog beds so no matter babies size they'll have a lovely place to rest their head.

“My first time using Charlotte and it was a great experience! For both large and small dogs that I have. I highly recommend her!”
