“Kate was so great! She really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable before leaving my baby to her. It shows how much she really cares about your dog. She had no problem handling my huge Great Dane and easing his worries while I was away. I would not hesitate to rebook her again!”


“Devin was a life saver squeezing some dog walks in around the holidays. Thanks for being punctual & communicative about how things went Devin!”


About: I have always connected with animals! I've taken care of a variety of different pets: small to large dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I helped train my mom's standard poodle and frequently take him for walks. I regularly take care of a black lab that struggles with anxiety and have gained her trust! I also regularly have taken care of a friend's cat. I've been told by pet parents that I have a very calming energy, and it makes not only the animals trust me but also the pet parents! While I’m looking for full-time employment, I have lots of free time and am very flexible! Just let me know what your needs are and I’m happy to help! I live in an apartment building that is very pet-friendly. There is a fenced-in yard for potty breaks, and the neighborhood is also very walkable.

About: We have taken care of all kinds of animals for years and are currently the happy owners of a rescue dog named Finn. My wife and I rescued him over two years ago when he was 8 weeks old. My wife has owned, rescued, and ridden horses for most of her life and has some vet level experience with animals. My wife and I are both teachers, so we are home early each day. Our weekday afternoons are free with a ton of flexibility. We both have the summer off so we can devote all day to your fur babies! We are free almost every weekend! We will be home all day during the week starting in the summer, We are able to tag team and constantly have someone with your beloved pet at all times of the day. In May we are out of the house from around 7:00-2:00 on weekdays We have plenty of space in our house, it’s a small house but has an empty bedroom, and also a big fenced in backyard! We put up a brand new 6 foot privacy fence so your pups will feel safe when having fun in the sun!

You can count on me for prompt communication, regular updates, and lots of pictures! Let's set up a meet-and-greet! I'm currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I go back to school mid-August and will continue taking on gigs on the weekends then. I'm very tidy and respectful and you can trust me to take care of your pet in your home in a safe and gentle way.

About: My name is Mary Catherine, also known as Katie. I am a nationally certified and licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been involved in veterinary medicine and shelter work since 2005. I currently have 3 cats of my own, and have had dogs and cats and various other animals all my life. I know how very important it is to find someone you trust to care for your babies while out of town or in need of assistance. I would love to be that person to care for your beloved family member when you need someone to walk them, care for them while you are out of town, or stop in to give medications and TLC! I am not only a dog lover, but a self proclaimed cat lady and would love to care for your feline friends as well!

About: **Please review profile and policies BEFORE requesting/booking a service. Meet & Greets are highly encouraged** **Drop off and Pick Up Windows:** Weekdays: 6-7:30 AM/6-8:30 PM Weekends: 7-10 AM/6-8:30 PM *Please specify a time within that window so I can ensure that your pup(s) are ready for pickup and have already eaten and have recently been out. This is to minimize disruptions to our schedule. I am in very quiet residential area so multiple cars and barking dogs are disrespectful to my neighbors. **Crate trained dogs ONLY. Dogs must be comfortable in a crate BEFORE boarding with me. This is for the safest and best experience for your pet. Dogs are fed meals and sleep in crates at night. If I need to run errands, dogs will be crated while away, no longer than max of a few hours. *Please note - I do *not* provide food for your dog. You will need to supply their breakfast, lunch, dinner (whatever is applicable) and any treats they are used to enjoying. This is to minimize any stomach upset and stress on their system. If you do not bring food with you to drop off, I can pick up some food for them at an additional charge. Meet and Greets are available upon request - and recommended. Please schedule a minimum of 2 weeks prior to your booking so I can be sure to schedule it for you. As a passionate advocate for canine companionship and welfare, my journey in the world of dogs has been both diverse and enriching. Since I was 12 years old, I've immersed myself in the exhilarating world of dog agility dock diving, and countless other dog sports. Alongside this pursuit, I've had the privilege of nurturing guide dog puppies for two distinguished organizations, instilling in me a deep sense of responsibility and empathy towards these remarkable animals. My commitment to canine welfare extends beyond raising guide dog puppies. As a consulting trainer for a service dog organization dedicated to supporting veterans, I've had the honor of contributing to a cause close to my heart, utilizing my expertise to empower both dogs and their human partners. With a wealth of experience under my belt, including managing three different dog boarding kennels and two dog daycares, I possess a comprehensive understanding of canine behavior, needs, and care. My tenure working with high-level working dogs has further honed my skills, allowing me to provide unparalleled care and training to dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Above all, my passion for working with dogs stems from a genuine love and admiration for these incredible creatures. Whether it's training pet dogs, nurturing guide dog puppies, or competing in agility trials, my dedication to fostering positive relationships between dogs and their human companions remains unwavering. With a blend of experience, expertise, and boundless affection for all breeds, I am committed to providing your furry friends with the exceptional care and attention they deserve. Raising and working with dogs has always been a huge part of my life, and nothing is done without their care and needs in mind. All dogs are safely crated when I am out of the house, but we also keep a very rigid schedule to ensure safety and well being. I have a fully fenced half acre of land which was just installed in fall of 2023. The fence is 4-5 feet tall and is very sturdy. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and interactions of free play are always under careful supervision.


About: I have been involved with dogs and all animals since I was a child. I started with dog rescue 20 years ago and dog training 15 years ago. I believe in pawsitive reinforcement - my personal philosophy is not to use the word No, uh-uh, no pinch collars, etc. I also have taught dogs ASL (american sign language). This helps communication with you and your fur baby. I love when pet parents have a look of amazement when I work/watch their kiddo for just 15 minutes. It's important to me that your furbaby is happy and stress free when you leave them with me. You will get daily updates and photos. We can aslo video chat to say good morning and good night to you. :) When I housesit I am there 24/7. Your pets are my passion! I look forward to meeting you soon. This is my job - I am with your pets 24/7. Yon have to worry about them being alone for the entire time I am sitting. I currently do not board any pets in my home. This may change in the future depending on the pets. Case by case basis. :)


“It is always hard to leave our dog when we travel. Long trips out of the country are even harder, you really have to know your dog is in good hands! Vijay has been that person for us for a few extended trips, as well as the occasional afternoon dogwalk. I am always confident that our dog is in good hands. Vijay sends updates and photos and our neighbors have even noted how relaxed our dog is with her.”

Liz S.

“My first Rover experience was with Liz and I can’t say enough good things! I always had my friends watch my dog whenever I’m away for work and when we all had a bachelorette weekend to go to, my co-worker recommended Liz. I was unsure how my boy would react staying in an unfamiliar house but after picking him up and receiving pics over the weekend of him playing it was like he’s been staying at Liz’s is whole life. I also wasn’t sure how he’d be with two unfamiliar dogs but I honestly think he made two new best friends and the way they all played together was a true testament to Liz’s knowledge and care for her pups. It’s such a peace of mind knowing there’s always a reliable place for my boy to go to when I can’t take him with me.”
