Thank you for taking the time to take him on his walk. He seems to love you a lot. He gets attached very easily to people. I saw the way he ran to the door when you came Tuesday. I will be utilizing your services once winter break is over. Thank you for taking care of him.

Jenna was great with my dog, Ellie. I’m new to the area and finding reliable care for my dog is very important to me. I’m glad to find Jenna and I look forward to having her walk Ellie on a regular basis.

Jordyn did well with all the instructions given for walking my dog, Lucas. She came right on time and walked him through my community. I would recommend Jordyn and would use her services again.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

Bethany was truly a God send when I needed help with daily pup walks for my two large fur babies. I have a mal mix and a GSD and she was always able to work around my crazy on-call work schedule. I don’t have enough good things to say about her! If you want the best care for your pup, you have to call her!

About: I have spent over 10 years caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and fish. Because I am a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friend in someone else’s hands. I am here to make that as easy as possible for you. I am super comfortable handling the tricky stuff, so you do not have to worry: I can handle medications if your pet has health needs. I am very patient with shy, scared, or anxious pets and know how to help them feel safe. I am experienced with more reactive or aggressive animals and know how to keep everyone calm and safe. I always provide frequent updates and will send you plenty of photos so you can see your beloved pets while you are away. Whether they are a social butterfly or a bit of a grump, I treat every pet I watch like my own family. 😊🐾🐈🤍 Need a sitter for the night or someone to keep your cat company while you’re away? I’m currently available and flexible with scheduling. Just send me a message or book a session and we can work out the details! 🐈 Your cat will be in great hands. I have a friendly, playful cat at home, so I understand their needs inside and out. I keep things calm, stick to their routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable the whole time.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets when you can’t be with them. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even raccoons over the years! While I’m new to Rover, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals and pet sitting for friends and family. Our home is full of pets we adore, including three dogs—a Siberian Husky, a Beagle/Australian Cattle Dog mix, and a Yorkie—along with several birds of different breeds and a turtle. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. When caring for your pets, I treat them just like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ⸻ My Pet Care Philosophy I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable even when their owners are away. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of attention. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy—whether that’s playtime, long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Communication is very important to me, so while you’re away I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I know from personal experience how comforting it is to know your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own pets. ⸻ Experience & Skills I’m comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Cats • Birds and small pets • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Multi-pet households I’m also comfortable with: • Administering medications • Following feeding schedules and routines • Walks and exercise • Cleaning litter boxes and cages • Providing lots of affection and attention ⸻ What You Can Expect When your pet is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe and reliable care 🐾 Updates and photos while you’re away 🐾 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy. ⸻ Meet & Greets I’m always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking. This helps make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a great fit. ⸻ ⭐ Warning: Your pet may get spoiled with extra love, attention, and belly rubs! I have a full time job during the week, but I’m available to care for and love on your pets in your absence in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends for those weekend getaway trips! When your pet is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe and reliable care 🐾 Updates and photos while you’re away 🐾 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy. ⸻ Meet & Greets I’m always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking. This helps make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a great fit.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with all sizes and breeds. I am active and punctual. Any care that is needed for a dog I can provide with 100%. Working with Animals has always been a dream. I can work during the week or weekends if need be. Any time after 10 a.m is functional for me. I live in an apartment, meaning walks, potty breaks and play time are essential to me. I try to limit time that dogs spend alone in the backyard by themselves. Socialize them with myself and build a bond with activities and even training I can do.

About: I've been dog sitting/walking for over 15 years to many different size dogs of many different ages. I worked at pet stores and as a vet tech for many years. I have volunteered at Zoos and Animal Rehabilitation centers. I love and can take care of many different animals! I currently have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake, a tarantula, and fish tanks; but I’ve had & cared for many other kinds of animals before (lizards, birds, tortoises, etc). I am very detail oriented, and animals always come first in my life. I just moved here from Florida and have no other job obligations currently. I have my own pets but have a partner to take care of our babies while I focus on yours. I don't bring animals to my personal home but always have the utmost respect for other's homes. I make sure to follow the house rules for the animals and never leave a mess.

About: I was an active dog sitter for my neighbor’s puppy in high school, where I helped with basic training and daily care. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m happy to help part-time and make sure your puppy gets the attention and care they need. Taking care of pets in there own home give them a sense of comfortably and familiarity which will make it easy to care for them.

About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule.

Being able to book Benjamin has been a huge blessing in my life . After my dog was diagnosed with diabetus I worried how I would make sure she got her medicine on time as a single mom who works long hours . I was nervous about my first booking, but that immediately went out the window once I saw the pictures of their visit . Not only was there a smile on Eris's face, but he got a picture of him giving my younger cat pets. My cat is afraid of everyone and has a tendency to hide . The fact that my cat felt comfortable with him hold a huge weight with me. When I come home that night Eris also seemed extra excited as to say " mom I had a friend come over " . Benjamin is also really great with communication and has been flexible with my last minute scheduling. Thanks Benjamin .

Heather has been amazing. I have an eight month old GSP/Springer mix who is SUPER high energy but can also be scared of everything. He REALLY likes her and has been like “mom who??” On his way out the door. She’s very patient and experienced and I feel so much better knowing he’s in great hands with her and happy.
