About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! I had my dog, Sophie, for 9 years, so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog, keeping up with their needs, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also cared for my neighbors’ pets when I was younger, which helped me learn how to be responsible and attentive with animals. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention I gave Sophie! I’m dependable, caring, and excited to meet your furry friend. 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money to help cover school supplies, books, and other college expenses. I’d love to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy; caring for animals! I have lots of love for both cats and dogs, so I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of company, whether that means playing, going on walks, or simply relaxing together! 🐾 I’m also happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and other everyday pet-care needs. Your pets will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! ❤️

About: Raised around just about any household pet you can name, I have always have a soft spot for pets, especially dogs. Would love to spend some of my time to help yours out!! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of extra time to help out with your pets, with a very flexible, accommodating schedule. I am currently not housing any pets, unless there are extenuating circumstances, but would love to take your dog on a walk, or any service you may need.

About: I have loved and owned a variety of dogs at all ages since I was a child. I currently have one dog. He is a well-rounded pup, playful with energetic friends and gentle with younger/older friends. We have a fenced-in backyard and a large comfy couch! I have a fenced in back yard and a playful pup of my own to keep your pup(s) company! I can also crate if you like. I am currently a full time teacher with open weekends and nights until the summer. In the summer I am fully dedicated to my Rover clients! I have a small fenced in backyard and can, and prefer, to crate in case I can not directly supervise all dog play and feedings.

“Very friendly and on time. She was available for me at the last minute which was very helpful. I’ll definitely use Jordan again.”

About: Hey I’m Sarah. I love animals and what their presence brings. In the past I worked at a dog daycare with several breeds of dogs, all shapes and sizes. I’m also on Wag with over 400 pet care services to date. I have a 2 cats at home, Pepper and Cookie Monster so for owners who have cats, no need to worry! I am a fulltime traveling music professional, but I also enjoy spending time with animals to help me be more physically active, and I believe that the way animals view the world can be beneficial and healing. I'm hoping I can apply their perspective to my writing. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I like to go on walks with dogs throughout various hours of the day from early morning to early evening when I’m not touring. I also can do drop ins and check on them for potty breaks and play! Overnights and sittings are also an option for those who are out of town. My schedule tends to be more free during the week, but sometimes I also do sittings. Open to holidays in normal days of fun with the fur babies! I try to approach new fur friends with a low calm tone of voice, a friendly demeanor, with mutual respect as I would treat any human. I see them as any other living thing on the planet that deserves equal kind treatment.

“Staci responded very quickly to a last minute walk! I would use her again!”

About: I've cared for cats and dogs with all kinds of personalities, so I’m very attuned to what each individual pet needs to feel safe and relaxed. I take time to learn your pet’s routines, quirks, and preferences, and I follow your instructions closely so their day feels as “normal” as possible while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace, extra potty breaks, or help with stairs. In the past, I have fostered a pup who needed purposeful walks and extra mental stimulation and also a sweet 17-year-old cat that needed capsule medication twice a day. You can also expect clear communication from me every visit, with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can travel with peace of mind. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I ensure that all visits and walks are planned in my calendar well in advance so that your pet gets consistent attention and isn’t squeezed in “when I can.” Unless mentioned, I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins on most weekdays. I keep weekends open for extra visits or travelers who are out of town. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep everything as close to 'normal' as possible for them and for you. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special routines. I take time to give your pet the attention and reassurance they need and stick to the schedule they’re used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I also treat your home with respect. I wipe paws if needed, keep food and water areas tidy, lock up carefully, and double-check doors, crates, and gates before I leave. After each visit, I send a quick update and photos so you know how your pet is doing and how the visit went.

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of Carl. She even took him out in the pouring rain. I would definitely recommend her to any pet owner. She was very attentive and communicated well. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with their needs, routines, and different personalities. I’ve also helped neighbors and friends by watching and caring for their dogs, including feeding, walking, and spending quality time with them. I’m attentive, reliable, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and work for myself, so I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, extended visits, and overnight stays, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. On weekends, I’m also available for longer visits, extra playtime, or outdoor time if appropriate. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to behavior and make sure your pet feels secure in their own space. I keep things clean, organized, and stress-free, and I’m always respectful of your home.

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’m a full-time mom and dog lover, and I share my home with my own four pups — so your dog will always feel like part of the family here. Dogs in my care are treated just like my own: loved, spoiled, and given plenty of play, structure, and comfort. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pup behind, whether it’s just for the day or for a longer trip. My goal is to make the experience as smooth as possible for both you and your dog. You’ll always receive daily updates with 3–5 photos, and I’m happy to share how their day is going so you feel completely at ease. Services I Provide in my home: 🐾 Boarding (Overnight Stays): • Cozy, family-style environment with space to play and rest. • Dogs are not left alone for long stretches — they’re part of the daily routine with me and my family. • I welcome 6–10 dogs per day, which means plenty of playmates, but I carefully manage group sizes for safety and comfort. • Nights are flexible: dogs may sleep in crates (if that’s their routine), on a dog bed, or snuggled up wherever they’re most comfortable. Free-roaming spaces are limited due to safety and health but available! 🐾 Daycare: • Drop your pup off for a fun-filled day of play, potty breaks, and rest. • Outdoor playtime in secure spaces, weather permitting, and indoor playtime with toys and friends. • Nap/Cool down breaks to ensure dogs don’t get overstimulated. 🐾 Dog Walks (Add-On Service for boarding as well): • For well-leash-trained dogs only. • Neighborhood stroll: $5/per day (boarding, extra fee) • Park adventure: $10/per day (boarding, extra fee) Services I provide in your home: 🐾 Drop-In Services: • Visits are 15-60 minutes, depending on individual needs • Photos + report card provided each visit • Prices vary based on number of pets and responsibilities 🐶 Dogs: potty breaks, feeding, play time (as needed) 🐱 Cats: feeding and litter box cleaning, play time if needed. ***Price varies depending on number of cats and litter boxes ***Cat drop-ins typically last 10-20 minutes unless discussed prior ***aggressive cats will result in care ending early and a cancellation fee Why Book With Me • I’m CPR/First Aid certified for pets. • Experienced with seniors, anxious pups, medication needs, and high-energy breeds. • Dogs get personalized care — no “one size fits all.” I follow their routines as closely as possible and adjust where necessary to provide the most comfort for your furry family member. • Lots of love, patience, and communication along the way. 🏠Crate Time Policy • Dogs are crated according to their normal routine at home, or if it is in the best interest of their safety and comfort. • No dog will be crated longer than 4–6 hours at a time, with the exception of overnight. Crate time may be used for: • Rest breaks after active play to avoid over stimulation • Meal times (to ensure each dog eats undisturbed) • Safety during transitions, pick-ups/drop-offs, or if weather prevents outdoor play • When I leave my home or at my discretion based on where the dog is most comfortable and safe. 🐕 Puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs may have differing crate intervals to match their comfort and training level. 🐕Parents should provide a crate their dog is comfortable with (or one will be provided if discussed prior). Dogs should already be familiar with crating prior to their stay (unless discussed previously) 🐕Dogs showing extreme crate anxiety will be accommodated with alternative safe rest areas when possible. This will be based on my experience and assessment with the dog. I will discuss with the parents for full transparency before proceeding with any changes in care. ✨ Please note: Your dog’s health and safety is always my top priority. Every dog is unique and comes with individual needs. Based on my experience and ongoing assessment, I will create and follow the care plan that best supports your dog’s comfort, well-being, and happiness during their stay.

About: I have more dog pictures on my phone than I do selfies. I spend my free time exercising with my own dog, Lylah and hiking in the area. Being the daughter of a veterinarian, I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I feel I can learn as much from them as they can from me! Working over a year for an official pet sitting/dog walking service has taught me excellent customer service and professionalism. I’m used to dealing with breeds of all kinds and am not intimidated by animals with aggression or anxiety. I am very patient and understanding, especially if the pet is in poor health or was subject to abuse in a previous household. I am quick to fix behavioral problems and may even be able to help you become more comfortable with your pet! I have several routine visits on my calendar for the next 6 months. However, I am usually able to work in new clients if the times of the visit are flexible. I guarantee your pet the attention it deserves when you (the best friend) isn’t available! I am accustomed to feeding, walking, medication times, command practice, bowel and bladder programs or any sort of organized scheduling for your pet's puppy training. I understand different people have different methods and am happy to learn

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I personally have an 8 year old Chocolate Lab, a high-energy 3 year old Aussiedoodle, and a sweet 4 year old Tuxedo cat. Managing a mix of dogs and cats daily has taught me how to deliver attentive and detailed care; whether that means keeping up with active play, maintaining daily routines, or providing gentle companionship. I work from home full time so I am available for mid-day walks and drop ins. I only like to take on pets within a small local area so I am available quickly and frequently for extended care. I will always respect your home and established routines. I take the time to learn what works best for you and your pets so I can fit in as seamlessly as possible. I always provide pictures and updates so you know your loved one is having a great time.

About: I've cared for a variety of pets- birds, lizards, turtles, dog, cats, you name it! I have grown up with animals but have been indecisive about getting my own pet- just because I don't think I could leave the shelter with just one! I work hybrid schedule so most days I am home all day, so caring for pets throughout the day is not an issue! I also love pets that love being loved on, or may like to be pet more than others. I'm also okay with pets who don't need as much attention from their human. I typically go into the office one day a week but it's depends. I always know ahead of time! Just let me know what you need and I'll see if I can accommodate. I always make sure to love on the pets I care for. I always have treats and ensure to ask about allergies or special accomodations.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life as far back as I can remember, and they’re just the BEST. I’ve got experience with large, high-energy, reactive dogs as well as chill lil sweetheart snuggle pups. Big or small, I love ‘em all. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, birds, and fish! I’ve got a flexible schedule, and weekends and evenings are especially open! Just give me notice. Nothing like adding some pet snuggles to my week. I’m happy to care for your furry fam whenever I’m free! All preferences can be discussed in advance! By default, I follow all feeding and walking instructions so your pets can maintain their routine and feel more comfortable even with a new human around. I also love sending pics to show they’re safe, happy, and - as always - adorable.

“Ali was absolutely INCREDIBLE. They consistently went above and beyond to help out while we were away. They were very informative about every aspect of their time with Keegan. We will definitely be rebooking!”

“Angie was simply excellent! Our boys loved her and she took phenomenal care of them! The next time we go out of town, we will definitely be calling Angie to take care of them!”

About: I’ve helped family members take care of dogs by walking and bathing when needed. I’ve always loved being around dogs all my life as I grew up around them and worked in pet stores since 2022. I am currently working full time but the earliest i can stop by is 8 am and the latest being 9:30 at night if needed. I am comfortable with working with any restrictions required by owner, even if it means crating the animal, or any dieting the animal may have. I am also CPR certified through the American Red Cross, i can also provide proof of certification.

“Monteà is the best. She is very communicative and kind to me, and the most caring and compassionate to my dog and his unique needs. It has given me the utmost peace of mind knowing he’s in her care for their daily walks. Highly recommend!”

About: Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or mental stimulation, I adjust my care to fit each dog's personality and energy level. I treat every pet like my own! I’m currently a student at Belmont University and working a part time job at a smoothie bar. I’m desperately animal deprived and missing my dog back home in Colorado! I have lots of free time Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays throughout the day, and I would love nothing more than to fill it by providing your pet with the love and attention he/she deserves. I maintain the pet’s regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy, bring in mail, and ensure everything runs smoothly while you're away.
