About: I have two rescue dogs, one of which I have owned for 8+ years. I also volunteer at a local rescue where I take dogs out of the kennel for walks on a regular basis. On top of my love for dogs, I am a teacher, so I am responsible and caring. I am a teacher, but I do not teach every day of the week and have summers and breaks off, so I am available many days to help take care of your pets and their needs. I also have owned dogs for the last 8 years and have experience with all aspects of pet care. I have experience with dogs at a kennel, so I am used to making sure dogs are safe and well taken care of. I am careful to make sure doors are secure and leashes/harnesses are properly put on to secure the safety of your pet. I have experience putting dogs in and taking them out of a crate. Your dogs safety is top priority.

About: I've been blessed to grow up with a pet best friend my entire life whether from dogs & cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and parakeets. My wife and I will treat your pet as it is our own! My wife works remotely from home and I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule and weekend availability. Our schedules allow for frequent walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and lots of attention. We also have a rescued 1yr old goldendoodle who is neutered and loves other dogs. Your pet will never feel alone! While safety is our top priority, your pet's happiness and care is just as important. We live in a 3-story townhouse with an unfenced yard but live across the street from a park where we take our dog on daily walks. There also a few nearby dog parks if you prefer for your dog to run off-leash. Your pet will have full range to our entire home and we will make sure they feel right at home!

About: I have been petsitting and housesitting for 12 years, caring for dogs of every shape, size, age, and temperament (as well as cats, fish, birds, and guinea pigs!). From untrained puppies to seniors, chihuahuas, to lab and pitbull mixes, I've done it all. I started off with my aunt's beagle, arriving every day after my classes to take her on walks, play in the yard, feed her, and give her attention. From there, I branched into caring for my coworkers dogs, and through these people's referrals, branched out from there. I grew up surrounded by dogs throughout my life and the joy and fun that comes from playing with them and taking them on adventures is unparalleled. I am fully available on weekdays and most weekends. I work as a wedding photographer so am not as busy during the winter months. My schedule is wide open! I can provide tons of flexibility I will match your schedule and style when caring for your babies. I’m very active and love exercise. I set alarms for feeding and medication times. I’ll give them lots of loving during relaxing time. I’ll do anything to help your pet feel happy all while keeping your home as clean as you left it

About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.

Julia was wonderful with our pup Koda! She gave him lots of love and attention during her visit, and even managed to coax our cat out to say hello, which never happens with friends she is familiar with, let alone new ones! We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of our furry family members, and we couldn’t be happier with her visit. Highly recommend!

About: For the past couple of years I have been pet sitting for a colleague and friend of mine and I absolutely love it. I have experience with dealing with dogs with some special needs and I am more than welcome to learn. The youngest I have had was 4 years old and then all the way up to 15 years old. Let me take the load off your shoulders and be able to take care of your fur babies. Though I love dogs, please know that I REALLY love cats too. I am catgirl at heart so please be rest assured that I will take amazing care of them as well. I used to have a feral cat, now with my loving parents 🐈. Currently I have three, so I also do know how it can be when not everyone gets along. Almost everyone in my life owns a cat, so I hope that gives some perspective :). So yes. I’m here for your dog.. but I am also here for the cat folks too 🐾. I have a very flexible schedule due to my job. It allows for myself to create my own schedule so it not only makes my life easier but could very well make yours too. Weekends I have availability and during the week it varies! I care for the pets in my own life allowing them to roam wherever they desire. Besides some closest but they always make their way .

About: I’ve taken care of different types of animals for friends and family all throughout high school as well as helped another friend who uses Rover. I’ve taken care of animals including hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, and lizards. I unfortunately can’t house animals because of apartment rules but can provide frequent care, check ins, and over night care for your pets! I was a part time student then started working full time to focus on saving money to help me become more financially independent. PLEASE READ!!!! I work Weds- Sat nights. I’d be gone from your home 5:30pm-5am. These times can also vary depending on my available time off. I work at Amazon so my schedule is semi-flexible BUT if you are uncomfortable or your pet is not used to this amount of time alone, another sitter is better suited for your needs. I appreciate you viewing my profile and considering me! While inside a clients home I’d treat it like my own, clean any mess made, lock doors and windows, feed and walk dogs, change cat litter, as well as anything you may need done in your house while you’re away!

About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I will make your family member very comfortable in my home as if it were my own. I can also administer medication if necessary and go for nice walks. I work during the school year and I have summers off. I am available during the week and I am available on most weekends as well. I can be flexible with my schedule. I have my own home and a very nice yard to be outside in. I have very nice neighborhoods to walk in nearby and can go for walks daily. I have 2 older sons that are here in the evening when they get home from work that love all the dogs and will also give lots of love and attention! I have comfortable dog beds and lots of toys for them to play with. I also have a crate if your dog feels comfort in being in one and wants one to retreat to.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always responsible for our family dogs, and that sense of accountability has stayed with me. I care for every dog with love, structure, and clear expectations—just like I do for my own. It’s not just about affection; it’s about creating a safe, balanced environment where dogs thrive. I’m home full-time and available to walk your pup anytime between 8 AM and 7 PM, any day of the week. I’ll make sure they get a solid, energizing walk so they’re happy and relaxed by the time you get home. I have a friendly, medium-sized, hypoallergenic female dog who is fully vaccinated and always wears her Seresto flea and tick collar. If your pup stays with us, they’ll be in a clean, pet-friendly home. I’m happy to set up their crate if that’s where they feel most comfortable — just let me know what they need! We also have two young kids (ages 5 and 2) who love dogs. They enjoy gently playing and tossing the ball for our furry guests, always under supervision to make sure everyone feels safe and happy.

About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, and am very serious when it comes to pet care, safety, and health. I have experience in pet care through all stages (puppy - senior), and complex medical cases. Each dog and cat is an individual with their own needs, wants, and traits that need to be fulfilled and noticed. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I LOVE pet care, and providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I understand how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your beloved dog or cat. My primary focus will be the safety of all pets in the house. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my homeby going through all of the details before your pets stay, and updating you with pictures and videos! **Dogs MUST be fully potty trained** DROP IN VISITS: Playing, potty, feeding, cuddling, bathing... I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is both happy and safe! PLEASE NOTE: - I work full time. On Fridays, I get home around at 1:45pm. - I will accept boarding OR daycare. I cannot accommodate both arrangements on the same days. - If you have one dog and more than one cat, I will accept them all. I will have a private, separate room for your cats. - I would like as much notice as possible to set up the pet care arrangement! I have a fenced in yard and a female dog, Sophie, who is very friendly and playful! I will always monitor them and never leave them alone without supervision. Our cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). My previous dog, Johnny, passed away in 2024 and throughout his life he experienced health issues that required daily oral medication (epilepsy and hypothyroidism, and during the last 6 months of his life he had Cushing's Disease). I am experienced in how complicated medication and health issues are in pets. I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual dog/cat and make them feel both safe and loved! If your pet needs their own private space, there is a private room that will be changed to fit the dog or cat's needs. The set up will include toys, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.

About: High energy high intensity dog? Let me help with matching their intensity. Consider me a personal trainer for your dogs. We work hard and play hard. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Cane Corsos. Whether it's high-energy pups needing long-distance walks (10+ miles) or senior dogs requiring extra patience and care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. My background includes training puppies, handling strong-willed breeds, and providing gentle care for older dogs. With a deep understanding of canine behavior and a passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy, I go the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to ensure your pet gets the best care possible! After leaving the corporate world unexpectedly, I’ve found a true blessing in rekindling my love for dogs. For the past 10 years, I haven't been able to own one due to my wife’s severe allergies, but my passion for caring for and spending time with dogs never faded. Now, with a completely flexible schedule, I can dedicate my days to giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's long-distance walks, playtime, or specialized care, I’m thrilled to finally do what I love—helping dogs stay happy and healthy while giving their owners peace of mind. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my client’s home or during walks. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or reinforcing training. For walks, I offer everything from casual strolls to long-distance (10+ mile) adventures, always prioritizing safety and enjoyment. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease.

She took care of 3 over the weekend and made it look easy!! She sent us pictures all day each visit of each dog. They all seemed so happy to see her and hang out. She played with them and got them outside every chance she got. We will definitely be reaching out to Lisa for our next trips! 10/5 stars because 5 stars isn’t enough
