“I am so grateful for how well Julie took care of Teddy. She sent pictures and videos and it really helps me not feel guilty for being gone when I see that he's having fun with someone he likes.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I found Katrina! She took great care of my elderly kitty who requires medication and sent me pictures and updates after each visit to let me know how he was doing. It was very comforting knowing that he was well taken care of while we were away! I will definitely use Katrina again.”
About: Hey y'all! If you're looking for an experienced dog walker or sitter, you've come to the right place. I have years of experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities. I spent a few years working in a veterinary hospital before I went to college, where I became skilled and comfortable working with dogs of all breeds. I also have volunteered in an animal shelter for ten years, helping to care for hundreds of animals who need a loving home. I am very active and I am happy to take those energetic dogs on long walks. I am comfortable bathing dogs. I also have experience raising puppies. Please consider me to assist you with all of your doggy care needs! They deserve love and attention, even when you cannot be with them. My schedule is flexible, as I'm currently working from home. This leaves me with ample time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced in yard. I’m active and strong and can handle dogs that may be bigger/require more energy to care for. Heavy lifting is not an issue for me.
“Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.”
“So thankful for Gabe’s help and kindness watching our two cats. He was able to help out when our original sitter had to cancel. He took great care of our boys, sending updates and photos and we really felt comfortable with him. Will definitely book with him again. Thanks Gabe!!!”
About: My house has been full of animals for all 19 years of living, including dogs, cats, ferrets, lizards, rats, snakes, spiders, fish, etc! I have had experience with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments, and was given praise by a local dog shelter for calming down and disciplining dogs in distress. I am running on a very flexible schedule and want to work with you! I just graduated and am looking to sustain myself while following my passions for art. I am constantly aware of the whereabouts of the animals I am caring for to be able to keep them safe and free of trouble. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and safe collar grab techniques to calm down a dog in distress.
About: Love animals, I've been taking care of them since i was little, sick fur babies and hyper fur babies. I can work with any :) even the jealous ones My days are always clear, with a week or 3 days in advance to work with animals I am free. Last minute scheduling will only be expected if needed. I will always open my schedule for your fur babies I always make sure my dogs and cats are well feed and hydrated, if its too hot outside they will NOT go outside unless they are provided with shoes or must use the bathroom. I make sure animals are always active for at least 2-3 hours a day.
About: Not much, just try my best to take care,play and love them cuz there cute. Used to sitters two big dogs and was great so wanted to try again :)) Im trying something new while I try to get myself in college back again and spending time with those happy tail and purs makes things better I'll just chill, play and give them break and if there any special needs, medical or just client preference keeping it in mind all time :))
About: I've raised my golden retriever, Cooper, since he was a puppy — he's now 8 years old and 90 lbs! Thanks to him, I’m very comfortable with large dogs and know how to handle leash pulling, high energy, and basic training. I’ve also helped friends with their litters of puppies and have experience giving medication like pills and ear treatments. I’ve cared for nervous or shy dogs, including one neighbor’s pup who was sad their owner left, but was playing with the other dogs by the second day. I always take my time to build trust and treat every dog like my own. What sets me apart is that I’m playful and active — I can even run with your dog if they enjoy that! I’m also very detail-oriented: I always take notes to make sure I follow feeding schedules, routines, or medication instructions exactly. My schedule is flexible, so I can be reliable and consistent, especially for recurring walks or visits. I genuinely love meeting new dogs, and I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their dog is in good hands. I’ll treat your dog like family and can send photo or video updates upon request. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently work part-time three days a week (Monday–Wednesday, 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM), and I’m free the rest of the week with a very open and flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings — even on short notice. Since I live locally and stay active, I’m available for recurring walks or one-time visits depending on your dog’s needs. I’m reliable, on-time, and happy to adjust my schedule to fit yours whenever possible. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I usually take notes in order to follow all instructions carefully — whether it's feeding, medication, locking up, or keeping to a specific walking route. I'll double-check doors, gates, and leashes to make sure your pet is safe and secure. I've learned from Cooper who will run outside, so I always open doors slowly so they don't escape. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away.
“Jordyn was awesome and she went above and beyond in taking care of my girls when I had to head out of town for a last minute work-trip. Highly recommended and a definite re-book in the future.”
About: I often joke that I make friends with animals easier than people. And although this might be true, I have a wonderful family who will make your pet feel right at home. I have experience with puppies, special needs and the elderly. When they come to our home they will be treated as an individual with respect to their own personality and needs. I’m a homemaker, and daily walks are a big part of our routine. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it is my schedule! Your pet won’t just be staying with a sitter—they’ll be welcomed, appreciated, and cared for as the unique individual they are. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and my love for them hasn’t changed since I was a little girl. They keep me young—what can I say?
“Gabriella was so patient and gentle with our fur babies. Our dog was unsure about a new face in the house while we were out of town. And Gabriella took the time to ease her and comfort her until she was comfortable with her being there. She went above and beyond for us, giving us updates and beautiful pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be asking for her pet sitting service in the future.”
About: I am truly a die hard dog lover and I treat every dog as if it were my own. I currently have two dogs and I know how it feels to have to entrust another person to care for them in the same way you would. I've had pets (cats & dogs) my entire life. All animals are different, like humans, and my approach is to provide a bespoke experience to make her/his/their time with me the best ever! As much information as you can share about your pet the better I can create the ultimate vacation for your furbaby! Walks, hikes, dog park, relax and chill, bathing, Play dates, beach, … Pick-up & Drop-off is included in my rate complimentary. I can provide references as well for your comfortability. Thank you! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule so I can adjust my time to what is needed. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible. I have a large wrap around deck that is closed off with pet gates. I am outside if dogs are outside I am extremely mindful and present while with your pet.
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.

“Jennifer, thinking back to how you cared for that little bird after the snake attack, and remembering your love for our dogs and cats we had while you were growing up, it's clear you have a real gift with animals. Of course, I'm biased, being your dad, but it's true! That's why I know you understand how important it is to be responsible for their well-being. To take care of another persons animal and love it as if it was your own.”

Kellie has been able to keep her focused and calm until the distraction passes, quite impressive! She’s fabulous.”
