About: I've been lucky enough to wake up to a 4 legged friend by my side my entire life. I've been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes including cats, golden retrievers, malamutes - I've found my love for them to grow increasingly with each interaction. From being a child where it was enough to simply love dogs to becoming a responsible adult recognizing the intricate needs of all, I am more than happy to provide the detailed love and care your beloved pet needs. Even my hobbies and career revolve around nurturing and caring for other beings - beyond loving on dogs, I am an avid lover of indoor plants (which means I would be happy to water yours!). With my services, you will be able to feel confident that your beloved 4 legged friends are safe and well cared for! I am currently in grad school for School Psychology and take care of my own indoor cats and cat colony everyday with food, water, litter scooping, etc. I am diligent in asking questions and file information to ensure that the visit/stay goes as smoothly as possible. I am a very organized person (former teacher) and also know how hard/stressful it can be to have someone watch your pets! I try to provide reassurance and information through the stay to ensure your comfort. Safety and animal comfort are my first priority!

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.

About: Hi there! My name is Madison and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a pup, Louie of my own. I’ve lived with dogs pretty much my whole life and have experience dog sitting from Michigan to Manhattan! I’m very active and engaged and would love to care for your fur baby—from walks to games to a snuggle on the couch. Because I work from home, I am very flexible and able to work with the needs of any client. Having had dogs my whole life, I understand the importance of working within a dog’s schedule for walks, potty breaks, and mealtimes. I live close to a dog park in a very walkable neighborhood, with a friendly pup of my own if your dog enjoys having a companion!

About: With 15+ years of pet care experience you can be sure your four legged friends are in capable hands! I am available to walk dogs and do drop-in visits for cats and/or dogs. I'm happy to get some exercise and face time with your buddy as well as to administer any medication or special food they need. They'll be treated how I would want someone to treat my fur buddies Candi (my 7 y.o. rescue staffy with anxiety) and Barbara (my 5 y.o. rescue cat with FIV). I recently took a severance at my full time job and am looking to have a flexible schedule until after the birth of my firstborn in the fall. I will provide good, long walks for your buddy. If you need drop-in services I can feed them, give them medication and spend some hang time according to their needs and your preferences.

“Got back to me super quickly on short notice, took my Ophie got a wonderful walk (and took the cutest pictures ?). Will definitely be asking for help from Mary Grace again! ??”


About: I am very flexible when it comes to my availability. I am currently in school for vet med and has volunteered and numerous shelters along with worked in kennels to gain lots of experience. I am a true animal lover and I want the best for any animal I encounter. You can depend on me to be there in the time frame requested and know that your dog is in the best care when with me.

About: Hi, I’m Charlotte — Monica’s right-paw pup and biggest fan. 🐾 My mom’s been loving on animals for over 20 years. She’s basically the fairy dogmother (and cat whisperer too). Whether it’s belly rubs, snack time, or special care for seniors like me, she does it all with heart and treats. She used to work at an animal hospital (don’t worry, she’s not scary like the vet!) and even took care of a very talkative bird once. Monica’s also helped at shelters, fostered pets in our home and had been pet sitting in the neighborhood for a year now. So yeah—she knows her stuff. Right now, she’s a proud pet mom to me (the sweet senior pup) and three cat siblings who I mostly get along with. She runs her own small business from home, which means her schedule is pretty flexible for walks, visits, or cuddle calls. Monica always says she’ll love your pets like they’re her own. And trust me, she means it. Animals just get her. I did the minute we met. Book her and your pet’s tail will be wagging in no time. 🐶💕 I currently work from home running a small business. My schedule is pretty flexible. Let’s work together to plan for your pets needs. I should be able to accommodate most schedules. I will care for your pet with the same loving, caring and kindness that I have for my own pets. Most animals find me easy to be comfortable around.

About: I have grown up always having a houseful of animals. This included cats and dogs as well as small rodents (mice, hamster,ect) and livestock. Now I have two dogs, two cats, and a hedgehog. I have owned my dogs for 13 years and the cats became part of the family a couple of years ago. My experience with animals ranges from daily care needs to caring for an animal with other needs. I am also patient with animals that are still learning or have slight behavioral issues. Currently, I am a full time student completing my degree online. I have open avalibility for your pet care needs. I am even open to a "daycare" situation. I have two dogs and two cats at my own home. The cats have their own space if needed and my dogs would love to have a friend to play with. I also have plenty of room to give any animal alone space if needed. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance to a park. I am open to board your furbabies while you are at work during the day or overnight if needed. If you prefer your babies stay at home I can offer potty breaks and walks during the day. I understand the struggle of finding good care for furbabies when you have a demanding schedule! I am open to services that work for you!


About: I'm a young professional that works from home and have some extra free time and LOVE caring for dogs. So this is the perfect opportunity for me and I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs on Rover, after graduating from undergrad I took up dog sitting and I have watched homes and pets while family is out of town since then. I am very flexible and reliable and would have a great time with your pet! Why I love dog sitting: I had a dog who I was extremely close with and since his passing I miss a dog's companionship. Because of school and work I'm not able to take care of a dog full time so in the meantime I would love to keep yours company! I’m currently working from home and on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and give them lots of attention! How I care for pets varies on the individual pup or cat. Every one of them have their own special needs so I will be sure to be informed and have notes on the stay before booking.
