“Myka has been wonderful with our puppy— he has very nurturing and has a calming presence for my super energetic pup. He is responsive, reliable, and eager to help reinforce the puppy training we have started!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since middle school, and I’m skilled at making them feel comfortable, especially in the presence of a stranger! I have lots of love to share and enjoy creating a safe environment for them! I am a part time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time on my hands! I am available to house sit almost everyday and would love to take care of your pets! I create a comfortable, familiar environment for pets by following instructions given by the owner. I give them plenty of attention and cuddles, keep the home tidy, and communicate with the owners to ensure everything is going smoothly.

About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet. Feed, let out, clean litter boxes, and taking leashed dogs for walks.

About: Hi there! My name is Teresa! I have a family that absolutely loves dogs and is thinking about adding another pup to our household and thought this would be a good way to see if it would be a good fit for our family! My husband and I and our four kids(13, 11, 6, 5) have had our current dog for 7 months and had adopted a rescue prior to that that we had for almost a year! We both had dogs growing up so this is such an important thing we want to teach our kids! We love to take our dog on walks and we absolutely love to play with him in our house, and we can’t wait to do the same with yours! Our fenced in yard offers a great place for dogs to be able to run and have so much fun! Please reach out if you have any questions, our schedule can be quite flexible depending on your needs!

“Summer is awesome and everyone who wants their dogs walked should be reaching out! Very communicative and she came back to my house after leaving to check on their water after I forgot to mention it. Very kind of her to do that.”

About: I've taken care of dogs along side my mom for over 10 years. She boarded dogs at our house when I was a kid and I would assist her with everything such as feeding, walking, giving baths, etc. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My current job allows me to work from home at any time throughout the week. Meaning I have all the time in the world to take care of your pet(s). At my home, I have a fenced in backyard that is decently large and perfect for fetch and other games. There are also a lot of trails around my house that my dog and I walk a lot. Also, I can easily crate your dog if needed. At your house, I can walk your dog, play with them in the backyard, anything you’d like!

About: Many of you treat your pets like they were your children; which is why I am the perfect choice! I treat every dog as an individual, attending and caring for their own personal needs. In my free time I love being active and exploring new places. I especially enjoy rollerblading and biking around the nearby lakes during the summer. Being outside with your pup makes my day! I love being able to take trips to the local dog parks near me. I grew up with a Shitzu-Bichon named Bailey at home. She is my by far my favorite family member (shh). We currently have a two year-old and a seven month old. (I am unable to board your dog if they do not get along well with children) As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is flexible but can sometimes be a bit unpredictable. I’m home most of the day and can easily work pet care into my routine. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time all fit in around our family rhythm. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or the client’s. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable, and always treat pets like family with patience, care, and attention to detail.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, rodents, name any animal and I’ve had it! After my experience working at animal shelters, i’m well rounded and nothing can surprise me anymore! I’m working part time at a vet clinic, my schedule is pretty flexible and and my boyfriend’s schedule is as well. We have two pets of our own who get majority of our free time and yours will as well:) I have a hyper black lab who loves to play and be everyone’s best friend! We prefer cat friendly as I do have a spynx who is more like a dog than a cat lol. I’m super flexible so any requests can be accommodated!

“Sarah was great and I will definitely use her to walk the pups again. She is a great communicator and took pics and made sure to let me know she picked them up and that they were home after their walk.”

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent five years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week before 9am and after 1pm. Weekends are open. I work at the humane society but don't get to interact with the furry friends. I miss them! Also, I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, patient, and comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that means long walks, playing outside, feeding, keeping up with a routine, or just giving them some company, I’m happy to help. I work in college athletics, so being responsible, organized, on time, and communicating well are a big part of my everyday life. I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, especially during mornings and early afternoons, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and taking care of pets throughout the day. I also have days with significantly more availability and can accommodate overnight and weekend care depending on my schedule. I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I take being trusted with someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or other care instructions you provide. I’m also big on communication and will send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying with me, I’ll make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, attention, and plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.

“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”

About: the personalized, one-on-one attention I provide. I care for one household at a time, allowing me to focus on your dog’s individual needs, routines, and comfort. I prioritize keeping your dog’s schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away, with regular updates, photos, and extra love to help you feel at ease knowing your pup is in caring hands. I offer personalized care that goes beyond the basics, including overnight stays, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, medication, playtime, and help maintaining your dog’s normal routine. I can also incorporate the little things that make your dog’s stay special, like car rides, outdoor adventures, and extra one-on-one time. I work with each owner to create care that fits their dog’s needs instead of offering a one-size-fits-all service. Pet care is something I prioritize in my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around providing attentive, personalized care for each dog I look after. I make sure every pup receives consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I limit my care to one household at a time so I can focus on each dog’s individual needs and provide a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while their owners are away. I’m a nursing student and have been a CNA since 2021. Caring for others has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and attention to detail to caring for pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I provide personalized care in my client’s home to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any additional care their pet needs. I also provide companionship, plenty of affection, and regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. I prioritize safety, consistency, and each pet’s individual needs, caring for one household at a time to ensure every dog receives my full attention.

About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, cozy snuggles, or catering to unique needs, I’m here to keep your furry friends happy, safe, and well-cared for. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to meet you both! I can fit any pet care into my schedule to whatever the customer needs with their schedule or their animals and I love to help anytime people need I take great care of my cat in my home. I always change his litter and I always make sure he eats at the correct times and I also give him lots of toys.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.
