About: I am comfortable with all size dogs, familiar with senior care and regular medications, and good at calming nervous pets. I can exercise your pet or sit around and relax with them, but either way, they will be my sole focus when I am with them. I am currently between jobs, so your pet would be the sole focus of my time should you need it. I love spending time outside, especially if I have a furry friend to walk around with. I am very comfortable working with any type of dog or cat, and your pet will be my main focus when I’m with them. I enjoy spending time with animals and can’t wait to meet your pal.
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. Our family dog passed a year ago and caring for my son’s dog has made me realize how much I love having dogs around. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with ample room for play. Your furry friend will love the fresh air. The yard is a partially shaded space with grass.
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced per lover with over 10 years of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From new puppies to higher needs senior dogs. I have also spent lots of times with cats! I’ve done it all — potty training, teaching fun tricks, giving baths, and will do this for almost any pet. Need a nail clipping? Need potty training? I got you! I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their needs, routines, and quirks. I’m here to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pup will be treated like family — because that’s exactly how I see them! 🐾 I currently have a furry friend in nerd of my own that is walked for over 30+ mins a day, receives medication, and training daily! I am also a dog-foster that will occasionally take in small dogs who need a helping hands before they move onto a home. I also have friends with cats that I adore. I will respect your home and any ground rules you set. Just let me know what is important to you. I will even vacuum/clean up after your pet so you will return happily! In case of a small dog staying with me, they will have an enthusiastic play-mate! I have a chest full of toys including enrichment toys. Walks and feedings will be a breeze. Not to mention plenty of doting by myself and my partner
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with dogs, regularly pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family (their pets are featured in my photos!). I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and personalities, whether it's a high-energy pup or a senior dog needing extra TLC. I’m happy to handle walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, and anything in between. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a medical student spending this year working as a research fellow with a flexible, mostly hybrid schedule—meaning I can often work from anywhere and make my own hours. That flexibility allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m happy to coordinate timing based on your pet’s routine! The comfort and safety of your pets are always my top priority. I follow your instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on their behavior, and make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hello! I love caring for pets, and walking dogs. I am kind and reliable and will treat your pets like my own. My experience walking dogs comes from working as a volunteer dog walker at two humane societies. This meaningful work included four training sessions covering how to handle and walk dogs appropriately. For three years, during & after Covid, I walked a healthcare worker's two dogs three times a week. I helped her pups overcome some anxiety issues, and they loved our walks. See the dog owner's review for more information. In my home, I have two cats. I understand how important it is to build trust with your pets to help them feel comfortable and secure. Know that I will take care of your family members the way I would want someone to take care of mine. Your pet will enjoy long walks with me, and you will be able to rest easy knowing I'm on the job. Thanks for your time! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for daily walks with your dog in and around South Waterfront. Please reach out for more details. I will take great care to make sure your dog feels comfortable on our walks. I have experience with shelter rescue dogs and dogs with separation anxiety.
About: My experience comes from adopting rescue dogs and being an animal person. Every dog is unique, I'm attentive and perceptive to the environment and each dog's needs allowing me to respond and distract or get distance if needed. This summer I am working on writing my dissertation. My schedule is flexible with windows of time I can come by for a walk or drop in visit. I will walk, play, and hang out with your fur baby depending on their needs. Let's talk about your routines and pup's needs and what will give you peace of mind and make your life easier.

Patricia K.Star Sitter
“I can’t say enough good things about Trish as our dog walker! From the very first time she met our dog, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Trish’s nurturing nature and kindness shine through in every interaction. She always takes the time to connect with our pup and ensures they feel comfortable and happy during their walks. Not only is she incredibly caring, but she’s also highly professional, always showing up on time and providing updates with photos and notes after each walk. I can tell that our dog looks forward to their time with Trish, and it brings me peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and thoughtful dog walker!”
Archie M.
“He's my go to for my dogs! Very sweet and reliable, and he makes sure to give them stimulating toys so they aren't bored. The dogs are always so happy when they see him.”
Katelyn D.
“Katie has been caring for my maltipoo, Lulu, for the last several years when I go out of town. I have always been very cautious to leave my sweet girl with anyone and can genuinely say that Katie is an incredible sitter. She goes out of her way to maintain Lulu’s walking/playing/eating schedule, communicates promptly, goes to the store to buy and boil fresh chicken and rice for Lu when she struggles with gastrointestinal issues, and always sends plenty of adorable picture updates. Lulu adores Katie, as evidenced by her helicopter tail and the ferocious licking that takes place each visit, and Katie’s compassion for all animals is apparent. While medical school is not quite the same as veterinary school, I take comfort in knowing that Lu is in such capable hands!!”
Ashley J.
“Booked on late notice and Ashley was fantastic!! I appreciated the updates and all of the pictures. Would book again!”
Emily S.
“I have known Emily for many years. She is a compassionate, thoughtful, and responsible pet caretaker, who loves both dogs and cats. She is my pet's favorite auntie!”
Wynn S.
“Wynn walked my dog, Judy, weekly for a year and it was always Judy's favorite day of the week. I would hire them again any time I need the help. Judy is a high energy Australian Cattle Dog and chihuahua mix, so she requires diligence and a lot of exercise. Wynn is definitely the right friend for Judy! Wynn is playful and attentive, and Judy was always exhausted and happy when they returned from walks. I don't trust anyone to take her out because even though she is leash trained, she is too fast and too smart for her own good and has some boundary issues. They even have their own ACD mix (Carl) that requires a lot of work, so they understand how to keep a dog happy.”
Homestead pet parents share their Rover experiences
If you are looking for someone who is caring and experienced, look no further; Lucinda has been such a blessing to my senior, blind, fur baby. She takes her time respecting your pet so that they can get to know each other, which demonstrates her star sitter commitment. I have felt at ease knowing that my fur baby is well taken care of and have appreciated her kind hearted nature 🥹 Thank you Lucinda!
Dannielle is the best cat sitter, no exaggeration. She genuinely loves all the animals she meets and cares for, she gives my cats gifts every time she comes over to cat sit, and she takes the most gorgeous photos and videos ever! Honestly she should be everyone’s first choice when planning a trip, short or long.
