“Kat was such a life saver! I’ve been sick and my mom sprained her ankle so my dog was in need of a good long walk. Kat responded immediately to help, and my dog came back nice and tired from her hour long walk. My dog was in great hands with Kat - Highly recommend!”
“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”
“She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!”
“We were very impressed with Emily's excellent communication. Shackleton had a wonderful time with her and she was fanatic at managing a large and opinionated doggo! We highly recommend Emily for dog walking and will definitely request her in the future when we need a walker.”
“Jean was so prompt with responding to my walk request! She was so professional and just an all-round bubbly person. Will definitely be reaching out to her again with help in caring for our pup!”
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.
About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many animals and always being taught to treat each one like family. I’ve taken care of many types of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own, co-ran a pet sitting business where at one point I was watching 13+ animals at the same time, and am comfortable with every breed, from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it slow with a senior dog. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have most availability during the week M-Th, but am available most weekend afternoons/evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, boarding or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a large shared park/lawn/patio area a few seconds away from my front door. I also have many many walking trails and parks within a few minutes from me that are all off of busy roads/areas and take you through forested areas, marsh, and large fields. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am always very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always ALWAYS put myself between them and harms way.
About: I've owned dogs for more than 20 years, and they hold a very special place in my heart. As your dog sitter, I would respect your dog and your space and your requirements to the utmost. I promise you won't be disappointed, and neither will your wonderful pet!! I have wonderful memories of playing at the beach with my previous dog Cooper who has since passed. I enjoy learning the nuances of each animal that I meet and helping them to become more obedient and less stressed, as we all deserve to be comfortable and happy. I am a quiet, clean, responsible and prompt person. My goal is to dedicate the majority of my time working for rover and I would love it if your pet was on my daily regular schedule. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday alll day. Also, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. For night stays I'm available everyday of the week. I know how important it is for pets to get play, exercise, and mental stimulation to have happy lives. Depending on your pets needs I can ensure I will care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with large dog breeds primarily. I am fine working with all types of behaviors and ages of animals and would love to care for yours! I am currently very open to any time or day of the week. I am an active person and would be happy to take dogs on long walks or hikes if they need a more active lifestyle. I cannot host dogs at my own home but would be happy to care for them at your home! I have experience house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, and can provide references if needed.
“Nichole is amazing! She came on short notice and walked our dog for several days before Christmas. She was very prompt and responsive. She is a huge dog lover and took great care of our dog. She sent pictures, text updates of every walk and even a holiday dog biscuit and chocolates for us on Christmas Eve. We would call on Nichole anytime. She’s a fantastic person.”
About: My family and I have been dog owners for 13 years. I know have 3 back at home and miss them dearly. So I would be grateful for the opportunity to have some fun and exercise with your pups! I’ve raised a litter of pitbulls when I was 10 years old which gave me hands on care with animals. Along with that I’m a cna who’s going to school for nursing so I have the knack for caring for others. I love to run and would love to take some pups on runs if that’s okay with you. Love going for walks as well of course! When back home I’m very active in pet care from morning to night. Feed, play, exercise, and cuddles! My pups are a big part of my family. No pups where I live currently, so would love to walk and run with yours. Dogs are a humans best friend, and I have a lot of puppy love to share!
About: Hi! My names Ekte! I currently have 2 dogs of my own and 3 kitty's, but I've had many more pets in my life time! I've sat a handful of kitties and dogs ranging in all sizes so rest assured I can handle em! Whatever your pet needs, whether that's just a friend to sit with, feeding, pottying, or someone to play with I can help! Just message me any questions :) P.S. I don't have many photos right now, so enjoy the photos of my littles for now 😋 The ones I do have, I specialize in silly pictures ☺️ I usually work 3 pm to 11pm at my other job!

Im usually willing to take my lunch to stop by, and then once again when Im off work (free of charge of course :) ) Whatever is needed for your pet I'll accommodate too, whether that's special instructions cause they're reactive or a rescue (which I understand, no shame), or they just simply need someone to sit there with them, we can work it out!
“Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.”

“Finding a dog sitter who is not only reliable but also genuinely caring is really hard and Ari is exactly that. Ari dogsat for me for 6 weeks while i was on a trip. My dog, Ollie, is usually anxious around new people, but he took to Ari quite quickly. When I hired Ari, I was a little worried as Ollie isn't that accommodating but she handled him quite well. Ari sent me regular updates, asked questions and was very accommodating. She acted as a true professional and left me and Ollie happy.”

Lacey is so amazingly patient and kind with Dipper and he hops up on his hind legs in excitement whenever Lacey comes over just like the spray little Dipper of his youth. Lacey is caring, attentive to Dipper's needs, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend Lacey's services for any dog walk, dog hike, or any dog sitting needs.”
