About: I have been lucky enough to grow up in a house full of animals, and all of my favorite childhood memories center around them! We have rescued dogs, the occasional cat, and even cared for horses and competed in a few horse shows! When I was about 10 years old we rescued a pregnant dog. I remember so vividly her having her 2 puppies, unfortunately only one survived. That puppy was my best friend for the last 20 years. She was there for my high school graduation, college graduation, my wedding, and a cross country move. All of that is just to say I know how big of a role pets play in our lives, and how much love and friendship they provide us and they deserve in return! I am not a certified trainer, but would have no problem working with your pets on basic commands during walks or play dates. I am a pretty flexible person and would love to help out where I can, please feel free to ask any questions! I currently work 1-2 nights per week, and I can easily do walks or play dates around that schedule. I am a very flexible and understanding person, if you would like to schedule something specific or have questions feel free to reach out to me and we can see about working it out! I know all dogs have their own personality and may be nervous or scared around new people. Whether we are doing walks, play dates, or both I like to allow some extra time to get to know each other. If it is ok I can bring different toys and treats (some different treats I use with my dogs or if you have specific treats to provide) and then move forward at the pet’s own speed.
“Ni is wonderful! Very detail oriented and my dog enjoyed her walks!”
“Allie has been very responsible in walking Roxy! Good communication and attention to her safety. Roxy loves her.”
About: Experienced with dogs both big and small, puppies and seniors, energetic and shy. Comfortable with dogs, cats, rodents, fish and amphibians. I’ve been watching pets for neighbors, friends and family for years. Currently home all summer so I’ll have plenty of time to attend to any pet care needs. I’m available for short visits, walks, and overnight care. I care for your pets just like you do— with love, patience, and lots of attention! While you're away, I stick to their usual routine to keep them comfy and happy. Whether it's playtime, walks, meals, or snuggles, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home in their space. Your pet’s happiness (and your peace of mind!) is always my priority. You can count on me for updates and photos when you’re missing your pet.
“Ra walked my dog, Max, and I am very happy with her service! She is very reliable, punctual and was very patient with Max, who is an energetic dog. She communicated well, and shared updates and photos from their walks. She’s very pleasant and has a genuine love for animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog walker!”
About: Hi! I have years of experience taking care of small and large dogs as well as cats. I work remote and have a ton of flexibility! I work remote and have tons of flexibility. More importantly, I will probably be obsessed with your dog! I’m already an avid walker so help me look less weird by borrowing your dog for walks :) I prefer to care for pets in my clients homes to keep your pet feeling comfortable in their environment. I have two cats so boarding in my home is limited.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 — from dogs and cats to a bunny and even a naughty parrot! Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and quirks. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to give your furry (or feathered!) friend the same love and care I’d give my own. 🐾💛 I am currently building my own software at home, so I have plenty of availability! I am usually free after 11AM, but I am flexible. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with almost no furniture lol, and I always make sure it's a safe and calm space for them to relax. I keep anything hazardous out of reach and give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and love while they're with me. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I’m also happy to come to you—as long as you're nearby! I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, sticking to their routines and making sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for while you're away. 😊

“Audrey has grown up around pets all her life. She’s had experience caring for hamsters, a guinea pig, salamanders, dogs big and small, cats, and even helped nurse a baby squirrel until it had refuge. Her care and love for them is evident and they respond with love for her in return. She’s a strong advocate for them when they are in need.

“she does great! we have both a cat and a dog, and Kornelija always manages to keep them both happy. they have this (adopted) sibling rivalry which can sometimes get a bit out of hand if they rile each other up, but all furry parties involved end up happy, fed and pampered, so A++++ from me :)”
Sophia & Irene N.
“Hey, ya'll, I'm Sophias twin! She and I used to have a joint Rover account until she moved. Because I worked with her directly, I can say, hands down, she is outstanding at pet caretaking. She always went above and beyond with each pet she and I would watch -- cleaning the house after a visit and, in general, caring for and loving the animal as if it were her own. She is kind, caring, and responsible and, as such, I would recommend her as your sitter as I know she will take the utmost care of your pets :)”
