About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs. I treat them like they’re mine own. I go out of my way to make them feel happy. I’m retired so my days and evenings are open to care for your pets. My hours are very flexible. Time with your pet will be the best part of my day. I love to walk, so your dog will get as much walking in as he or she wants. Their schedule will be my schedule. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, so your fur baby will meet new friends.

Jadyn always does very well with our dog. He is still learning to walk well on a leash and can be reactive, but Jadyn ensures he is safe and has a great walk!

Rachel was great with our dog Murphy! She was prompt in replying and very dependable. Murphy looked forward to his walk everyday, she even adjusted her schedule for us. We will definitely use Rachel again in the future.

I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!

About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!

About: I've cared for and loved family pets (beagle, staffy, and pit) all my life, but as a young adult living in an apartment away from home, I'm looking to befriend some local canine pals! Play, walking, cuddles, and parks: I want to leave pets happy and ready for their nap!! I'm currently working a part-time research position, with free time to care for your pets! I am unable to board animals, but my flexibility allows for check-ins throughout the day! My time with your pet will be for active engagement and physical monitoring, responsive to their needs. I'm happy to have short meetings to ensure fit and want to collaborate to optimize your pet's care.

About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat 3 different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. Once I graduate from college and finish my summer classes in September, my schedule will be completely open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.

About: Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that every animal deserves patience and a steady hand. I treat every pet as an equal, whether I’m bottle-feeding a newborn kitten, training a high-energy dog to run alongside me, or simply sitting in the sun to keep a senior pet company. Because I don’t have pets of my own right now, my schedule is completely open. They get 100% of my attention, 100% of the time. Working from home full-time gives me the ultimate flexibility to provide your pet with constant companionship.I have dedicated blocks in the morning, at noon, and in the evening for long walks, play sessions, and feedings. Your pet won't just be 'checked on'—they’ll be part of my daily flow. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their sense of security. I follow your 'house rules' to the letter to ensure their routine stays consistent. From refreshing water bowls and administering meds to high-energy play sessions, I handle every task with care. I also make sure your home stays exactly as you left it—secure, clean, and filled with a happy, well-exercised pet.

About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.

Kristin was AMAZING! Honestly it was our first time using Rover and it was literally so calming and easy with her. She went above and beyond and really took care of the details that Sly needed! She’s kind and funny, and you can really trust her. We WILL be using her again, and are so thankful for her!

We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Jamie. The dogs love her, and she treats them like her own. She’s reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. When I travel, it means the world to know she’s helping my mom with the dogs. That kind of support is priceless. Highly recommend.

We had Natalie come over for a trial walk with my dog Neko before booking her for house sitting. Natalie always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. My dog is a Shiba Inu - they are known for their personality quirks and can be standoffish with strangers. Natalie was willing to spend time letting Neko get comfortable with her. Ultimately Neko was not ready to be cared for by someone he doesn’t know, but based on Natalie’s interactions with him and my other pets, I would 100% recommend her.
