“We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog, Rudy, and guinea pigs received from Kade! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. He gave Rudy lots of attention at each of his drop-ins with walks, playing with toys, etc. He was also attentive to our guinea pigs. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have one dog of my own - a little westie girl who is full of energy. I am currently working part time so I am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and give your pet the best possible care. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a part-time job so caring for pets is something I intentionally build my day around. I make sure each visit is unhurried, giving your pets time to eat, play, and feel comfortable with me. I treat every pet like my own, so they’re not just another task, they’re an important part of my day. I treat every pet like my own while respecting that I’m a guest in their home. I stick to their usual routine for meals and care, spend quality time playing or cuddling (depending on what they like), and make sure their environment stays clean and calm. I also send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of attention.
About: I spend my time taking care of my two mature dogs and there's nothing I'd rather do! I also love making new furry friends. I'm fit and active and I will play as long as the dogs will! Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. Safety and exercise are a priority; I like to take multiple walks per day and will always keep dogs on leash and safe while having a fun time.

About: I started dog sitting for family and friends when I was young. I have watched a wide range of ages, all the way from puppies to 17 year old pups! I’ll be happy to walk, play with, or just be present with your dogs! I currently have a full time job, working Monday-Friday. I will only be available to pet sit or walk the dogs on the weekends when I have the day off! I live in an apartment complex, with my one golden retriever puppy named Canyon. My complex has a walking trail surrounding it where a lot of other residents and I use to walk our dogs. All the dogs surround me are up to date on vaccinations and are well behaved!
“Chad was so friendly and attentive to my cat, Tenna! He was very professional and made me feel very comfortable leaving Tenna in his care again in the future. It was easy to see how much he loves animals! Thank you for playing with Tenna and we look forward to our next visit!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of two, so I truly understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your pup. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a long hike, or some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and personality. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I’m already walking, feeding, and loving on my two dogs every day. Adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins for your pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I enjoy being active, so heading out for walks or hikes is something I look forward to, not something I “squeeze in.” Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make pet care a priority and keep a flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their people. When pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were part of my family. In my own home, that means a safe, cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s mealtime schedules, medication, or favorite bedtime rituals. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the family’s. I follow instructions carefully, ensure that food, water, and litter needs are met, and give each pet the level of attention and affection they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or a calm presence for a shy animal, I adapt to what each pet needs most.

About: I have been watching our neighbors and family friend’s dogs and doing drop-ins since I was little. My family has also had a dog since I was in highschool. I take him on walks every evening and am responsible for feeding and letting him out when my family is out of town. As well as my sisters dog when she stays with us. I am available throughout the day to do drop-in’s, go on walks or spend time with them at home throughout the day. Aside from a random day I have plans, my schedule is very flexible. I have a dog I take on walks at home and enjoy being outside with. As well as playing/throwing their toys or sitting together at home.
About: At this time, I am not house sitting. I like dog walking or drop ins. Thank you! I have always enjoyed dogs; playing and walking them especially in my neighborhood or at the park. When I was nine years old our first dog was Comet, a happy yellow lab and a bit of a barker. Then our family adopted a good little guy named Seamus. He was a mixed black lab puppy and he was very territorial which took some training and love to help him be less aggressive. I am not going to brag, but I know that I was Seamus' favorite because he never growled at me. We loved taking walks and rides. Unfortunatley, Seamus passed away from cancer in 2012. Next my parents found Noah from a beagle rescue. He is 100% beagle and 100% mischievious. He is a great guy, but he steals slippers even at the ripe old age of 10. He likes car rides. My husband and I adopted Mikey, a beagle mix and he is my buddy. He goes everywhere with us. He has been to Ohiopyle, playgrounds, family member's houses, and a Target Drive Up run. He is like my kid. I am definately his favorite! I have time in the evenings and on the weekends. I can be available with advanced notice in the daytime. Let me know how I can help. I give them love like you would, and I pet them. Even a massage can help their joints as older dogs have pain sometimes. I treat dogs like they are my family.
“Becca did several drop-in visits for our two cats while we were out of town. She responded immediately to my initial request and always answered my messages within a few minutes. She was able to come to our house for a meet & greet on short notice, which was very convenient for us. Becca sent us a photo and a nice message each time she visited so we knew that our cats were being taken care of. She even washed their food bowls and brought in a package for us without being asked. I would rebook Becca to care for our cats again without hesitation and would recommend her for other users in our area. Thank you Becca!”

“Robin was amazing with our dog and cat. She was so patient with our dog’s anxiety and gave her plenty of love while we were away. She also made sure to set aside quality time for the cat to give her love and attention. Robin kept us updated and sent adorable pictures of the pets. We will definitely book with Robin again.”

“Wouldn't ask for a better short notice dog walker she went above and beyond 5 stars is an understatement I appreciate her service and you will love what she has to offer for you furry friend. I beyond recommend her. Thanks again”

Jackie is AMAZING! She is fun and empathetic. She accommodates the needs of the individual dogs with ease. My dogs love her and are safe and happy with Jackie! I am incredibly GRATEFUL to Jackie because I unfortunately was not so lucky with a dog walker found on Rover before her.
