“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”

“James was awesome! He was communicative, on time, and even called me to make sure it was okay to let maintenance personnel into the house. He took a lot of pictures of my dog on their walks, and I know they had a blast. I will 100% be rebooking with James.”

About: I have lived with and been exposed to pets of all kinds and ages. Almost all animals seem to love me, and I love all animals! I am currently unemployed and just finished my senior year at Carbondale Community High School, so I will have plenty of free time to take care of all pets. I am very flexible and tend to learn quickly, so any special care or routine needs for your pets don't have to change while you're on vacation or traveling!
“Scott was Pierogi's dog walker for almost a year and did an excellent job every time. Very trustworthy and thorough and you can tell he cares. He's a true professional and if I weren't moving to NJ I'm sure he would be my dog walker for much longer. Highly recommend.”

“My dog Lucy enjoyed her walk with Rebekah so much! It was great how Rebekah communicated everything with us during and after the walk. I will be booking her again and I highly recommend her for any type of dogs. My dog is 60 lbs and she handled her very well.”


About: Growing up, I cared for two wonderful dogs who taught me responsibility, patience, and companionship every day. One was a playful miniature poodle, and the other was a loyal cocker spaniel, each with their own unique personality and energy. Spending time feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them helped me develop a deep appreciation for the joy dogs bring into a home. Today, I own a golden doodle that continues to strengthen my love for working with and caring for dogs. I’m currently working part-time, so there is flexibility throughout the week to care for your pup! I am also available on weekend days. I have a fully fenced in yard at home and have had crate trained dogs. I ensure that there is time to explore the outdoors!
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”

About: We have had dogs for most of our life, we are away from our lovely dogs so we will take care of your pets as if they were ours! We love pets more than we love people! Currently working from home and new to town, so we both have lots of free time to dedicate to your lovely pets and give them all the scratches, head pats and treats. We will treat your pets as our own, we miss them a lot so a lot of cuddles are in order! The apartment has a closed balcony with mosquito net, there's a lot of green areas to walk around and we love walking to get to know the neighborhood.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have also cared for my own cat for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m a full time college student as of right now I have a job at my college that is very flexible to where I can make my own hours. Since it’s summer I don’t have classes so I’m free every day of the week! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 I work from home and set my own schedule, but after years of doing this, it can feel secluded so this is my way of getting out and about and getting to know my community. Pets should be cared for the way Auntie cares for her nephews and nieces. Mom and Dad have rules and you stick to them, but Auntie is more fun!

“It is not easy to find a person whom you can count on in your life. I'm her regular customer since last November. She is so helpful, reasonable and generous. She takes a very good care of my dog.”

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
“Thank you so much, Aaliyah! We were very happy with your service and the way you took care of Soda. We felt completely at ease during our absence thanks to your presence with our daughter. We truly appreciate your kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend you!”

“Stormee is AMAZING! I am a first time Rover user and had to use it under different circumstances. My boyfriend injured his lower back last night and is not able to move at all let alone get up to walk his dog. I am currently in SC so I was unable to walk him myself. With one message to Stormee explaining the situation she was MORE than willing to help! She got right over there, let herself in (per instructed to do so), and took Wesson on a nice long walk! He must have had a blast too because he was very sad when she left lol!!! He watched her from the window lol oh! She even filled his food and water bowl for him since my boyfriend can't get up. She really went above and beyond and it was EXTREMELY appreciated! Thank you a million times, Stormee! You saved the day!”

About: Hi! Im Danielle,! I grew up around a variety of animals- horses, bunnies, parrots dogs and cats! My dream is to open up a rescue/shelter because no animal deserves to go without a loving home. My boyfriend and I have 3 boy cats which we rescued who are our heart and soul and they truly saved us. I have had multiple dogs as well which were my pride and joy. We both grew up on/around a farm and the love we have for all walks of life is what drives me to give your pets the best care possible ! What sets me apart from others is the genuine love and kindness I have for animals because each and everyone has a back story and they all deserved to be loved the same. Dogs aren’t just friends, they are family and that’s why I take pride in helping other owners like myself find someone who they trust to help them one belly rub at a time I am available 5/6 days a week! I left my full time job and I am now pursuing the chance to provide owners with comfort and stress free care because your fur babies mean just as much to me as they do to you! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space how I would expect mine to be treated and that’s with respect. By ensuring that I keep same routine that your fur baby is used to will make sure that they feel comfortable because meeting someone new can be nerve wracking. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and are loved as if they were my own — and I keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things familiar and stress-free. I follow all instructions provided and always double-check things like food portions, medication (if needed), and security (locked doors, gates, etc. Clean-up and tidiness are a priority too; I leave your space just as I found it, or better.
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”
