“My puppy, Bruno, loves Kerri. He looks forward to his walks and her visits have been a great thing to break up his day. My mind is completely at ease knowing she will be taking of him.”


“Kimberly was amazing! I contacted her last minute to walk my dog while we were at work and she had no problem helping us out! She was so easy to communicate with and sent me photos of my puppy the whole time she was with him! Would definitely book again and highly recommend!”


“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”


“Madison is great! Great communication, followed all the steps needed to properly walk Enzo and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was taken care of. The photos provided during the walks were a nice touch and shows that Madison provides high quality customer service!! I would highly recommend Madison and would definitely use her services again in the future.”


“We had Kerri walk our dog Honey twice a day while we were away for five days. She was excellent, always prompt, and Honey loved her walks. She was communicative and sent pictures and updates, which we appreciated. We definitely recommend her and will use her again!”


“She is so patient and caring, I had to scheduled an emergency walk because my dog was left alone by a family member that was supposed to stay with him, he met her for the first time without me being home and she patiently tried to warm him up, he is too territorial but she let him in the back yard and he used the bathroom. I cannot thank her enough !”


About: I offer reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away or at work. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need a little help. I ensure that your furry family will be comfortable, safe, and happy in the comfort of my home, or yours. My services include daily walks and exercise to keep your pets active and healthy, feeding and administering medications if needed, playtime and companionship, regular updates and photos so you can relax and focus on what you’re doing. I treat each pet like family. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets routine stays normal as possible and they feel loved in your absence. Feel free to contact me for more information or to book a meet and greet. I had my soul dog for 21 years and my soul cat for 18 years so I get that pets are true family. I currently work remote in the financial industry for the last five years so I have the flexibility for visits to check in, walks throughout the day, and also with notice I can provide boarding which will be one client at a time. I also have plenty experience with cats. There are no current pets at my home so I can provide undivided attention. I live in a spacious, well kept condo, and there is plenty of room for furry friends and there are no other pets living here at this time.

About: New to Rover but not new to pet-sitting. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own- prepare for the custody battle 😅. lol jk. In all seriousness, your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies and all the beautiful challenges that come with that stage, as well as senior care. I have also had experience with adopting my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) I currently have boarding slots set up to 4 at a time but feel free to contact me regarding specific availability needs. For example, does your pet require an environment without other animals? Do you have 2 dogs but 3 cats? Based on your pets specific needs, we can discuss alternate solutions. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all. We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. Property also includes fenced in dog area, or I am open to dog park runs if that is your preference. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.


About: I've been a pet owner since I was a child (dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, and even fish). I've grown up with large breed dogs, small breed dogs, and everything in between. Dogs have been considered family for my entire life, and I started dog sitting after losing my fur baby (a Pug, aged 17) in 2016. Although I no longer board dogs in my home (I now have 2 PitWeenie rescue dogs, Lilo & Stitch), I happily dog sit in your home, and I enjoy providing drop in visits, as well as dog walking! I house and pet sit in your home! Overnight stays can be done during the week and weekends. If you want me to stay with your pet for a full day along with an overnight, that would require booking an overnight AND a drop in visit service, and details shared through a message. I can only do FULL DAY combined with overnight on Saturdays and Sundays. Overnights I can do after work, leaving in the morning to go to my full time job. Need more details? Send me a message when booking. Fur babies are family members, and it's up to me to make sure your family members maintain their same daily schedule they are used to. If you tell me they love to eat their meals with a human sitting on the floor with them, that's what I'll do. If they are used to sleeping in bed with their humans, they get to sleep in bed with this human, too! My goal: make your dog feel as is nothing has changed, other than the human, in their home.

About: I take care of my neighbors dogs, friends cats, my best friends bring their dogs over and we all walk together. All of our animals were rescued. I am not working over the summer so I am very flexible during the day to help take care of animals when needed/ walking/ letting them out to use the bathroom. I walk the dogs on leashes, I only let them out when there is a fenced in area. I have a fenced in yard at home, that my dog goes out and plays in.

About: Growing up, animals were always more than just pets—they were cherished members of the family. From a young age, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, each one showered with love and attention as though they were siblings. Whether it was a wagging tail or a purring cat curled up on the couch, I’ve always had a natural connection to animals, fawning over them and giving them the care they deserve. As I got older, I didn’t just care for my own pets—I was the go-to person for friends and family when they needed help. Whether it was feeding, walking, or just providing companionship, I loved looking after their animals as if they were my own. It was a joy to be there for their pets, whether it was a quick visit or a longer stay. I also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs. It was incredibly fulfilling to provide a temporary home, offer love and stability, and then see them transition to a new family. Each fostering experience taught me more about patience, adaptability, and the diverse needs of different pets. Currently, I’m a proud owner of two wonderful cats who are like family to me. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, and it’s this same dedication I bring to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or anything in between, I understand the importance of personalized care, and I treat each pet with the same level of love and respect as I would my own family members. In every role, from fostering to pet-sitting, I’ve always believed that the best care comes from the heart. "I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling and be available for pet visits at a variety of times throughout the day. The only exception is between 3-6 PM, as I have prior commitments during that window. Other than that, I’m happy to accommodate visits at times that work best for you and your pet, whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. Your pet’s care and comfort are my top priority, and I’m excited to work with you to find a schedule that fits your needs! When I visit your pet, my goal is to provide them with the same care and attention they would receive from you. During my pop-in visits, I’ll ensure that their basic needs are met, including feeding them, letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them the necessary playtime and affection. I always make sure to check that they are safe and secure while on walks, keeping a close eye on their surroundings and any potential hazards. I believe in treating your pet like family, so I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just a calm moment to unwind, I’m here to make sure they have the best care possible.

About: My whole life I’ve had a huge soft spot for any kind of animal- especially dogs. I worked in management for a pet store for several years and have dog health and safety training. Please let me know of any specifics to help me cater to your furry friends🫶🏼 I am a full time college student during the year-so most mornings I am unavailable until about 1. Just let me know! Friday-sun are full availability. I have been trained in signs of distress and several other areas of concern as it comes to walking dogs and maintaining a level of safety for your pups. Please let me know if there are any specifics your dog may require!

About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life, beginning when I was just a child. We had our boy Ozzy, a beautiful yellow lab, for 14 unforgettable years. Once we got over his passing early in 2024, we adopted a beautiful, spunky little guy named Koa! He’s a lab/terrier mix and currently about 10 months old. I am his primary caregiver while my wife is at work, and we are what I like to say ‘best buds 4 life!’ :). I am also deeply committed to learning how to train him, and in the process have learned a ton about the training side of things. He was a bit wild when we got him at 7 months old and we paid a professional to teach us how to train him. So I am certainly no stranger to spunky, high-energy dogs! When our boy Ozzy was getting up in age, he unfortunately started dealing with anxiety, confusion, and bowel problems. I am definitely sympathetic and more than qualified to deal with older dogs too. Taking care of our boy Koa is actually my full-time gig right now, so my daily schedule is mostly open. As I get more clients I suspect that could change but for now I’m very available. This includes most weekends and holidays too. I am well-versed in dog walking and/or sitting. For boarding, we have a nice big fenced-in yard that’s secure. Lots of toys and balls. :).

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with a golden retriever named Emma. Now, I have 2 pups of my own! Maggie (11 y/o, terroir mix, adopted) & Molly (2 y/o, teddy bear mix, bought). I trained Molly in puppy school & did in home training between both pups in order for them to get along! I’m currently in school & working part time. I have random open periods during the day that can be used to take care of your pups! Please message me for more details about availability. No fenced yard; however, I have very long leashes & heavy duty poles that screw into the ground outside so that my pups can run freely without a fence. I also live next to a nice park with some fenced dog parks! The park also includes multiple trails, including paved and nature trails. Due to owning an adopted dog with past abuse and anxiety (which is now well controlled by training and overall healing in a loving and safe environment like my own) I do not offer in home care just in case my adopted pup is startled by the presence of another dog. Because of this, I am willing to travel for pup sitting and services!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the special bond between dogs and their owners, and I’m committed to providing your dog with the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I focus on keeping your dog happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I tailor my care to meet each dog’s unique energy level and needs. From feeding routines to maintaining training consistency, I ensure your dog feels secure and comfortable in your absence. With me, your dog will enjoy the care and companionship they need, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands! As a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, I have the perfect balance of availability and passion for animals to provide exceptional care for your pets. I offer pet sitting services right in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether you’re away for a short trip or a longer vacation, I can take care of your pet’s daily needs—feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, and of course, lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their own space, and I’ll keep their routine consistent to minimize stress. From checking in on them during the day to overnight stays, I can provide the care your pet needs while you’re away, all without them having to leave home!
