Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!

Haley is great! We haven’t used Rover in a long time and literally never hired a house sitter, so we were a bit nervous. Haley is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated throughout her visit. If you’re looking for someone to be the ultimate companion to your pets, look no further.

About: My very first job was at a dog groomers as a bather. I also worked at Petco and PetSmart. I have always had a love for animals. I am planning to pursing a veterinary assistant certification later this year and overall feel connected to animals. I have worked with puppies and seniors, as well as have experience giving medication/medicine when needed. I am currently in between jobs therefore I have free time during the day and night to provide attentive care for your pets. With my experience I am ready to offer high quality professional supervision. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring a clean, secure and loving environment. I will follow your specific care instructions and prioritize their safety, trust and well being at all times.

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

Nia was so thoughtful and caring with our dog, Jiffers! We booked Nia for an overnight service in our home and we couldn’t be more happy. She sent us picture updates throughout the day and kept us informed on how he was doing. Highly recommend!

Calm and friendly, Margaret was just what my pups needed as they experienced their first long car ride and hotel stay for a family funeral. She was very receptive to our dogs' needs and behaviors, and I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur family.

Kasper was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced. They treated my dogs like their own. Patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I received consistent updates that put my mind completely at ease, and when I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Kasper exceeded every expectation. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Kasper!! you’re truly amazing!

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and have developed a deep love and understanding of animals. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I love taking dogs on walks, helping them stay active, happy, and comfortable. Spending time with animals brings me peace, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while they are with me. In addition to caring for pets, I am passionate about photography and enjoy capturing special moments and memories. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I meet. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets have a consistent routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean and calm environment and always supervise pets while they are in my care. Because I have two resident dogs, I carefully assess each pet’s needs and temperament to ensure a safe experience for everyone. I follow owners’ instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special requirements to help pets feel comfortable and secure.
