About: Over 12 years professionally caring for dogs, and I’ve owned them for 30 years. Professional dog groomer, nail care and light clipper clean ups available. I’m a professional pet groomer working to get my in-home grooming service going. In the meantime, I’m doing gig work, which means the most flexible schedule to make it work for you. Excellent at following instructions and communication. I believe in positive reinforcement training and responses to behavior. I’m extremely strong due to my job, and will have no problem handling any size dog with any behavior level. I am well versed in dog body language and psychology.

“Stacey was great!! She even spent extra time with Stanley.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our Shiba Inu on short notice. Our dog is a bit skittish, and Emily was very patient. She even kept an eye on our cats.”

Andrew L.

“We know howchi loves his time with Karly as when he sees her later on the street he runs right to her (although seems a little jealous if she has another dog with her!). She's the best.”

Jeffrey M.

“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”

About: I have experience with every kind of dog! Puppies, senior dogs, I am also used to administering medication to dogs. I have been working as a k9 coach for the past year! I am super patient, kind, and understanding I have a super flexible schedule! I am very open to anything last minute. I can do multiple walks a day as well! I am also more than happy to just stay the whole day if house sitting! I would say my animals are so spoiled! I am very gentle. I am someone who believes that yelling at an animal won’t do anything. So I would say I have a very gentle but effective approach.

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was young and have always loved spending time with animals. I also worked at a dog daycare where I gained hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. I learned effective training techniques for puppies and how to care for senior dogs with extra needs. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I'm currently a student living on campus, but I’ll be available for long-term pet care starting in June. Over the summer, I’m open to dog-sitting, boarding, and house-sitting for extended periods, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide flexible, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and tailored to their needs and routines. I pay close attention to any instructions provided, from feeding and medication to favorite toys or walk times. I also prioritize trust and communication by keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being a calming presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I have had pets ever since I was born and love nothing more than quality time with animals! I am a college student looking for some much needed time away from the books and surrounded by pets. I currently have classes on Monday and Wednesdays and am looking to spend time caring for fur babies every other day of the week! I absolutely adore all types, sizes, ages, of pets and want to help you and your family out in any way I can. I am available throughout the weekdays to help let your dog out, take them on walks, feed them, and so much more! I also have experience washing dogs if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Jade! A little about me: I grew up in a home with a Great Dane, bunny, and cockatiel! My passion for animals took off through one of my first jobs working in a pet store. More recently, through an amazing fostering experience, my passion grew and I became all-in for animals. I work currently as a receptionist at a vet clinic and plan to get my vet tech license in a couple of years. I love all parts of my job, but most of all seeing the patients!!! I am new to Rover, but I have been watching the pets of my friends and family for years. I have cared for dogs with special instructions and have done check-ins, morning and night, as well as stay-overnights. I love animals of all kinds, and am excited to get to know yours and get all the cuddles I can! I am interested in expanding my care and experience in taking care of animals, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with special cases! It is my hope that I can earn your trust to care for your fur baby(ies) like they’re my own while you’re away :) I’m mostly doing pet care on my weekends and days off, where I will be most readily available to make sure your pets get the most thorough care I can give. I can, however, do very early morning and later night check ins if needed. I want to make sure you feel comfortable with your pet in my care and am happy to send you as many updates and pictures as you need! I will handle your fur baby with so much love and affection and make sure I stick to any instructions you may have for me!

About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.

About: Since the 90s I have been a continuous pet mom. Before that I grew up with animals of all sorts and have such deep love for them. Once I was able to adopt my own I started a legacy. From Kingu, a liver spotted Dalmatian and her daughter Chiquita (banana at times) I helped to birth along with 8 other puppies; for a short while my sweet kitty and vagabond Puti; adding a guinea pig living with us for 8 years named Pomi; the most loving Zoe the cockatiel, who loved to jump into the shower for a steam bath and various fish varieties in a colorful aquarium; you name it, we had it! My daughter and I created a home full of life and love shared for many years. I continued to rescue Vedder Bear the Chesapeake bay retriever needing special care for diabetes and lastly my sweetest Moumou, a pit terrier mix who turned 16 years of age. She has passed away a few months ago and my heart is sore and I am not quite ready for a new pet! However, I have a calling to be of help for all the pet moms and dads out there and share my love for our four/ three/ two legged family members! As of 2025 I can also add chicken whisperess to my profile! What a joy!! I hope to soothe your mind and heart while you are away from your beloved family member. <3 I have an online Vintage store and am an Artist. Both are great passions and loves of mine! I work from home and I have a mostly flexible schedule, which allows me to open up time for another angle of my passions, my love for animals. It makes me happy as I am a nurturer by nature! ;-) Frankly, it is purely selfish to care for pets! I love animals, they get my attention the minute I am around them, because their presence is special. I added as a safety precaution, a personalized “Sitter” collar tag, your pet will wear while with me. It is meant to be just in case! Recently, I had a dog from Texas here and I realized that if any out-of-town dog especially would ever get loose/ lost, I would want them to be found with a local phone number. However, this is not something I expect to happen, but I just want to make sure! ☺️ I added the look of the tag in my pictures. If the pooches are in my vehicle for a ride. I have dog seat belts (x2) I use. Each one is special! I can't help myself! I feel into the needs of each animal. Playful to shy, young to old, special needs or easy peasy. I adapt to what their mom/dad want me to tend to, as well as nurture their unique personality. What certainly helps is heaps of experience with my own pets as well as pets of others I cared for ;-) My house is tailored for dogs, as I up until recently had my dog Moumou here with me. In my photos section, you can see some images of the back yard and house. ;-) As an additional safety precaution I have an especially made "dog sitter tag" I put on the collar while your pet is with me. Even though I do not anticipate any issues, I want to assure they are easily identified.
