“Kathryn us wonderful. She let's my dog out 5 days a week. There have been a lot fewer accidents since she's started coming. It breaks up my dogs day a little but. She always tells me what she is doing with my dog and has also been super flexible.”

“Audrey has been a godsend for me and my buddy Marley. He is always skittish with new people, especially when I am not around, but she has a way of connecting with him that I couldn't be more thankful for.”


About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for 16 years, from childhood through her senior years, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. I regularly walked her and taught her commands like sit, shake, and roll over. As she got older and developed health conditions, I continued caring for her with patience and attention to her changing needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society and used to go with my mom when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m home from college for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to spend my weekdays doing something I genuinely enjoy. I only work a few nights a week, so I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’ve always loved being around dogs, so this feels like the perfect side job for me while I’m home. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, and I’d love to help give your pets some extra attention, exercise, and care during the day. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. During walks I keep dogs closely leashed, pay attention to our surroundings, bring water and waste bags, and make sure not to walk too far especially in hot weather or with older dogs. For drop in visits I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get attention and play time, and that everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also know how important pets are to people, so I’d always keep owners updated and send pictures when I can.
“Crystal was great with Murphy. She was on time, respectful of our training regimen and was a great help with burning off some of Murphy's puppy energy. We will definitely use her again.”

“Judy was on time and very communicative during her visit with Bear! She sent a lot of cute photos of Bear and fed her and spent extra time with her outside. Next time we’re out of town we will definitely work with Judy again!”

“Great experience! Sadie bonds so well with Bonnie and took extra care with her special feeding needs.I really appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease knowing Bonnie was in such good hands.I will definitely book with her again.”

“Mya was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond any expectations! She cared for my animals so well and kept me updated which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.”

“Patty was great as always. I really appreciate that I can trust her with my babies. She sends great pictures and my skittish babies are even getting used to her instead of their usual stranger danger attitudes. I will always go to her first for my Rover needs.”

About: I grew up in an animal loving family! Grew up with dogs my whole life, I’ve taught dogs ages 2-12 how to Sit, Shake, Lay down, Stay, High Five and Up High! I’m very good with dealing with all dogs whether laid back or very hyper! I worked at several dog daycares in the last 4 years! I work a full time M-F job all day, 8a-5p. I also work very part time at another job, so I try to get get out whenever I can as early as possible or go out later as as soon as i can to hang out and take care of animals because they really mean a lot too me and bring me the most joy! I’m a huge outdoorsy person so I love walks with my dog!! As for Ganja, he lovesss the outside so we have the back door open with the screen door shut for him, he does like going outside so we make sure to put on his harness and leash and keep him close to us! My biggest priority is safety, making sure the pet doesn’t run away, or get injured in anyway! My Izy is extremely good off leash, I give her that freedom so she can run all around and get her energy out, she knows where not to go very well!! When on walks she is leashed up always!!
About: I grew up with pets in my household and have an a great love for dogs of all types! Although I do not own a cat of my own, I do love to play with cats, watching their curious eyes. I enjoy walking/running around with the dog to keep them and myself healthy! I am fairly flexible and am willing to come in and help out at even the oddest times of the day, I am very good at following directions, and pride myself in being thorough with my appointments. Your pet is very special to you, and deserves quality care when you can’t be around. Reach out to me if you need a new pal for your loving, furry member of your great family! Work full time but get up early to get a good dog walk in and the fetch or puppy pool time in the afternoon after work. I have 67-acres where your pet could run! A pond to splash in and a huge ball field for catch! One dog boarding at a time.
“Salena did a fantastic job looking after my four cats. She communicated with me regularly to let me know how things were going and she took photos in which I could see for myself how my pals looked, and they all looked good. I would recommend her highly. I am totally and completely satisfied.”

About: I have been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to raise hunting dogs when I was a little girl and I've always had at least two dogs at home! Growing up, I'd pet and house sit for neighbors, friends, and family. I've also worked at several doggy daycares and have cared for pups of all size, age, and ability. I would love to earn your trust when it comes to taking care of your fur babies- they're not just dogs, they're family. As a new mama, I am only working part time at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care for your babies, too! I will ensure that your babies are treated like my own. TO me, this means that they won't need to wait long for potty breaks, will be fed at the appropriate time, and will always have a safe and calm environment while you are away.
About: I have walked dogs for neighbors and friends for decades and also owned dogs including 2 senior rescues. My experience is with all types of breeds and ages. A happy dog starts with an exercised dog and I love to get outside too! I am a bartender so I have a very flexible schedule and can do mornings, afternoons or evenings. I am also available for last minute bookings. As your dogs caretaker their happiness is my biggest concern. Fresh water, soft warm bed, food and plenty of exercise are in always provided and cuddles if wanted.

Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just needs some extra attention, I’m here to make sure they get the exercise and care they deserve while you are away! I am available for overnight dog/housesitting most weekends. I am able to stay during the week if the dog can be alone for 8 hours while I am at work. I am also available for drop-in care after 4pm. I’ve had dogs my entire life with many different temperaments and needs. I am able to adjust care depending on what your dog needs or is used to.
About: I have been rescuing senior dogs for 9 years, including those with special needs. I have experience with dogs that have neurological disorders, blindness, incontinence, cancer, skin problems, arthritis, and more. I am a full time teacher, but I am available most days in the summer and weekends during the school year for walks and drop-ins. I love to send updates or leave notes so you know how your pup’s day went! My dogs are my family so I always make sure other dogs are taken care of like I would my own.
