About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.

About: I have over five years of experience caring for, playing with, and supporting all sizes of dogs. This includes adopting a puppy of my own. I am currently a co-parent to a four-year-old Chihuahua Terrier that I trained. Additionally, I have experience caring for senior dogs, sick dogs who need to visit the vet, and dogs with specific behavioral issues. I am a business consultant and a life coach working from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. This flexibility makes it easy for me to take dogs on walks, hikes, and potty breaks. I enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and walking around the neighborhood. Having a dog by my side would add to the fun of these activities. I am very sensitive to people's homes and their dogs' routines. I follow instructions carefully and maintain a calm, centered space at home for the dog to feel confident and safe with me.

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with large and medium sized ranch dogs, and have taken care of small dogs growing up. I have experienced the full spectrum of canine care from puppies to end of life. Frequently I take care of dogs for family members as well and I love puppies! I have experience aiding in puppy training (not a certified professional but can help continue your home training), walking, feeding, bathing dogs and giving canine medication. I fully believe that dogs are meant to be outside and exercised as much as they are able for the best quality of life. From hikes, parks, walks around the block and cuddles, I’ll be there for your pup! I’m a graduate student therefore my availability for walks and drop ins, is strict to Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. But flexible during the hours of those days. Some evenings can be arranged on Thursdays and Fridays on a case by case basis. I can only offer daytime boarding in my home on Tuesdays as that is when I have online classes. Currently have some flexibility before classes start. I do really well with instructions if you have any specific needs for your pup! I am willing to clean up after puppy messes as well during puppy drop ins. For pups staying with me, I have a large fenced in backyard for your pet to lounge in. It is mostly made of brick and synthetic grass so your pup with stay clean with me! There is also a large dog park located a 10 minute walk away from me.

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.

About: Hey there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I grew up raising childhood dogs from puppies to seniors, and am currently the owner of two rambunctious cats. I have never lived anywhere without animals and dont intend to! Being around animals is the highlight of my day, whether it's teaching them new tricks ( surprisingly, sometimes cats included), exploring the neighborhoods, or taking naps together. Looking forward to meeting you and your critters! I currently have a fairly flexible schedule which allows to me to adjust my daily availability to fit with where I am needed by families! It is important to have clear communication between me and my clients to fully understand the expectations of pet and house care / the responsibilities I am trusted with!

About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.

Lee has taken care of our dogs twice this year (so far) and is our first contact whenever we travel. Our dogs love Lee as they get long walks on our nearby trails and lots of affection. We always ask if Lee can join us for dinner the night before we leave so he's with our dogs when we leave. We have had great conversations over dinner as Lee is a world traveler with many fascinating interests and work history. Lee has kept us informed on our trips away with photos and we have always returned to our home that is tidy and clean. We highly recommend Lee for any pet and/or house sitting.

Mia has a gift for working with animals. She started having pets at a young age with fish, mice, hamsters and birds, taking joy in interacting with them, feeding them, always being the first one to notice any health concerns. As she grew older she went to zoo camp, to SCPA camp, and she graduated to counselor sharing her love of animals with other children. Over the last few years she has regularly walked her many dogs, cleaned up after them, made sure they received needed vet care and nursed them back to health after surgery or illness. When younger, she would walk her two Chihuahua mixes, and helped care for them as they aged, became less mobile, and needed extra attention and medications. As a young adult, she raised one puppy Pit Bull from 6 weeks (now 5 years old), and adopted a mistreated Pit/Lab mix, who is now her best friend and companion. She is excellent at ensuring their routines are followed and spending quality time with them. She uses treats wisely, and has trained her dogs to follow her lead, sit and wait when commanded. She ensures regular vet care and gives medications, applies lotions and other vet-prescribed care with kindness. As she has started dog walking and care professionally, she has been a reliable, trusted caregiver. She has demonstrated her capacity with all types of dogs and her understanding that dogs not only need food, water and walking or play, but also interaction, reassurance, and love. I admire her ease with and love for animals, and am glad she can share her gift with other pet owners.

Available 10am-3pm for dog visits/walks, cat visits, & cat sitting. Looking to make pet friends to visit & build relationships with dogs/cats who need TLC/Care/a buddy/Attention while you're out. I cannot care for dogs/cats/pets in my home currently. I do not have the space currently to allow for caring for additional pets. I hope to board in the future but I cannot now. Thanks for understanding.

About: Hey there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I grew up raising childhood dogs from puppies to seniors, and am currently the owner of two rambunctious cats. I have never lived anywhere without animals and dont intend to! Being around animals is the highlight of my day, whether it's teaching them new tricks ( surprisingly, sometimes cats included), exploring the neighborhoods, or taking naps together. Looking forward to meeting you and your critters! I currently have a fairly flexible schedule which allows to me to adjust my daily availability to fit with where I am needed by families! It is important to have clear communication between me and my clients to fully understand the expectations of pet and house care / the responsibilities I am trusted with!

Liz is truly the best dog sitter and walker we could ask for! My two small dogs, Rio and Rosie, absolutely adore her. She has stayed with them many times over the years, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. Liz is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond — sending updates and pictures so I know how happy and well cared for they are. She’s incredibly patient and kind, and even my shy little Rosie warmed up to her right away. When Liz stays with them, the house is always left spotless and the dogs are calm, happy, and clearly loved. We trust her completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful pet sitter. — Rebecca P.

Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.

This is our first time using Rover and we are grateful that Hannah responded on such short notice! We just adopted our dog and he’s still apprehensive and not quite used to his new environment yet. Hannah was so sweet and gentle with him and earned his trust right away. Hannah communicates well and adjusted to our needs and our pup’s needs extremely well! Thank you Hannah!

I felt comfortable leaving my bunny in Sky's care. She showed up on time, followed instructions, sent photos, and thoroughly cleaned up after him. I will book her again!

Juliana provided such excellent care of our dog and cats during our vacation! She was prompt in her service and detailed in her reports and photos. When our elderly dog had a potty accident, she kept us informed and then did a thorough job cleaning the floors and laundering our dog’s bed. It’s tough to learn of your pet’s difficulties from far away, but when you have a dedicated sitter like Juliana, it makes all the difference in calming your anxieties! We are so happy and thankful to have found Juliana!

Excellent sitter. Played with our cat, fed him, changed his litter robot and was very observant to things around the house and with our cat (noticed a new bald spot on our cats leg). Would definitely book Madeline again!!

Michelle was amazing! I had a last minute emergency come up and I had to leave my 4 month old puppy home alone all day. I was frantic bc 1, I’ve never left him since the day I got him & 2, bc no one was been around my puppy alone since the day I got him. Michelle was able to fulfill my last minute request and put my mind at ease. Michelle was very communicative; she sent pictures and videos during both of her visits. I could cry at how great Michelle is Thank you again Michelle for your help
