About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”

About: I currently care for an English Bull Terrier that loves people more than anything else, and is not great with dogs. She has taught me the importance of watching body language, getting ample exercise, taking safe walks to avoid other dogs, and giving all the snuggles needed. I am very aware of dogs needs and keeping distance on leashes because of her. I have been around dogs all my life, from smell driven hound dogs, to ball driven mixes, and I love to play with and care for them all! I grew up raising rats and I love them too! I know the importance of them having social interaction, clean cages, and preferred food. I am also familiar with guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have fresh water fish tanks and can do water changes, feeding and medicine. I currently don’t have any cats (or other pets) because of my dog, so I am itching to get some quality cat time in as well! I would love the chance to care for your pets too! *I will have my 2 year old daughter with me most days. She’s very gentle with animals, but does get excited and laugh a lot. I wear her on my back in a carrier when I enter homes and walk dogs, however if your pet doesn’t like kids or is scared, I won’t be able to help this summer. I am a stay at home mom so I can come check on your pets at the most convenient time for you. If you need someone to come snuggle your pets, let them out, and play with them at anytime of the day, I am your gal! I will make sure your animal has more than just a simple potty break before I leave. They will have love, attention, and exercise. I like to come in the door with a treat (if allowed!) for dogs. I will play ball until the cows come home, or give them all the snuggles and love they need.

“She took wonderful care of Loki, handled his excitement with patience, and even cleaned up after him. The photos she took are gorgeous and really capture his personality. highly recommend!”

“There are not enough stars to represent a rating for Kourtney! Easily she's one of the most reliable and consistent caregivers I've met from this service. She's kind, communicative and very receptive to Diesel's needs (as a princess). I am late in writing this review as I've used her SEVERAL times and will continue to do so whenever the need arises.”

“Dawn did a wonderful job with our puppy!”

“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”

About: *calendar is accurate through 6/8!* - Comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and types; dogs, cats, turtles/fish, hamsters/gerbils/guineas - Dog & turtle owner! - Experienced former pet store manager - Not available after 5 pm Tuesdays! I am a college student so I am unavailable on Tuesdays and available starting from 1pm on Thursdays, and I work part time a few days a week, which will always be updated monthly in my calendar! I have two dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs and can handle anything from playtime to unhappy sailors. Walking on or off leash, feeding, and medicine are no problem at any age or temperament.

“Another great dog walking experience with Sage! She took my pup on walks this week, was super communicative during a thunderstorm, and sent the cutest pictures of my cat too :) thanks, Sage!”

About: I cater 100% to my customers and clients. I am very flexible and I will work with you schedule wise and financially to create and an engaging fun filled environment for your baby while you are away. I have 4 years of volunteer experience mainly from the Humane Society but also from pets that I have and used to have. I’m here to make things easy on you. I love exercise and will run, walk and play with your pup to his hearts content. I’m not here for money, this will now be my second job. The most rewarding part of this is definitely knowing that I was able to contribute something towards a happy puppy and their happy human. Every animal deserves a healthy well rounded life whether their owner can provide it or not.

About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂‍↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.

“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”

“This was the first time we used Eileen to walk our dog Charlie. She was very responsive and communicative and took him on his favorite route!”

About: I have spent most of my 36 years caring for animals of all species. As a pet owner of 7 fur babies, one quilled and several feathered friends, I put pet care at the top of my list. As a business owner, working from home I have plenty of time to devote to committing to caring for your pets. My schedule is flexible. Every pet and pet owner has their own unique preferences and needs. I will care for someone else’s pets following specific instructions requested. Beyond a provided guideline, I will pay attention to each pets body language and environmental need. I will provide safe and thorough assistance.

“Diem was GREAT checking in on our dog and taking her for walks. She is extremely respectful of our home, communicated well, sent sweet notes and pictures on the app, and our dog loved her. Will book again!”
