About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.

About: We’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, and my husband has 3yrs animal obedience training! Our family has always trusted us as the official pet sitter due to our patience, responsibility, and compassion. We take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and our genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, we care for every animal the way we’d want someone to care for our own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I run two of my own businesses, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to dedicate a lot of time to caring for your pets! I’ve been a CNA for 8 years, and after 4 years in healthcare, I branched out and started my own service. I’ve also owned and operated my pet care business for 5 years! I love being in healthcare, but my true passion has always been animals.🐾❣️My schedule is generally open unless I have something already planned, and I’ll always communicate with clients ahead of time about my availability. I’m also lucky to have my husband by my side! We’re truly a little power team when it comes to caring for your fur babies. He has 3 years of animal obedience training and is an entrepreneur who helps with our pet care in his spare time. When I’m unavailable, he is there to help take over and make sure your pets continue receiving the same loving, dependable care. Because we work as a team, you may interact with or receive care from both of us during your pet’s stay. We’re committed to treating every pet like family and making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐶🐱💕 We provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. We live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) Our neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! We take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, we treat every pet like family. We guarantee the care you receive for your pets is the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for our own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!

“We are so happy that we found Heather. ❤she sent lots of pics and updates on our dogs 🐕. They seem very happy. The house was cleaner than I left it.we will definitely use her next time we travel.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for all kinds of breeds, from small companion dogs to larger, high-energy working breeds. I currently care for four dogs and have experience with puppies, including helping care for puppies from birth. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable learning each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule, but I also have other work commitments that can vary from week to week. I prefer to receive requests at least 2–3 days in advance so I can confirm my availability and make sure I can provide your pet with reliable, attentive care. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. During drop-in visits, I can provide food and fresh water, clean litter boxes, give them attention and playtime, and make sure they are safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to follow the owner’s specific instructions and their pet’s normal routine.

About: I understand animal behavior, studied force free training and finally became a certified dog trainer earlier this year. While working in a boarding facility I noticed the dogs were not happy, uneasy and confused. Some wouldn't eat for days, some wouldn't go potty outside, and most would desperately look for their owners during our walks. And don't even get me started on how disarrayed the cats were. From that experience I knew I wanted to encourage pet owners if they must leave their pets, leave them at home, or in a homely environment, where they can be undividedly attended to, loved and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mother/wife, writer, artist, and animal lover with ample flexibility throughout the week. I like to plan my days at least 24 hours in advance to ensure efficiency in all my duties. Nature, nurture, and animals are part of my purpose for living I believe. Therefore, their wellbeing is what I care about. I am disciplined, forthcoming and honest, and enjoy interacting with others of similar character. Even though I play heavily with animals when they want to play with me, I also create an atmosphere of mutual respect and order, usually upon 1st introduction. This allows the pet to follow my lead and trust in me as a child would a parent.

About: With 11 years of dedicated ownership, I offer a level of intuition and patience that only comes from a lifetime of love. I specialize in recognizing subtle health cues, managing unique temperaments, and providing the mature, reliable care your dog deserves. I don’t just watch dogs—I understand them. Pet care is the heart of my day, not just a task. My flexible schedule allows me to offer undivided attention during mid-day walks or late-night snuggles. I treat every visit as an opportunity to provide the consistency and companionship your dog craves, fitting seamlessly into our shared routine I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. I also have a chair in the living room that is specifically for pups!

About: I have taken care of family and friends pets for many years. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring their well-being and happiness. I will care for your dog as if they are my own. I currently work full time from home which allows me more time to be hands on with potty breaks, walks and some attention if needed more frequently. We will play in the back yard together. Go on walks around my property. We'll play in my finished basement. And have plenty of time to relax if they would like as well. I have the space where I can easily crate your pet if necessary.

“Anna was a pleasant surprise after meeting with her. It was obvious she had been around animals all her life and was very familiar with their behavior. One of my cats took an immediate liking to her. The other cat, who is skittish and scared, warmed up to her in the four days I was away. Anna did not push and let her adapt on her own time. Both cats were calm and happy when I got home. Anna gave them her full attention and made sure they were spoiled and well cared for. Additionally, she took care of things in my home that I didn't expect, and I was very grateful. It is such a relief to have found someone that loves my cats like I do, is reliable, dependable and personable. So happy that I can travel without worrying about the care my babies receive. Thank you, Anna!”

“Hannah was excellent with my my 4 pets. She showed each of them love snd handled a tough situation gracefully when my dogs misbehaved. My home was just as I left it. I would definitely rebook with her 😊”

About: I have 4 years of experience working with dogs within a daycare program, I have worked seasonally at a full-scale kennel with up to 300 dogs at once, and I can bathe, brush, walk, feed, administer oral medication, and brush up on training. Exceptionally well-behaved dogs are eligible for nail trims. I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly larger mutts (35-75lbs), and I have fostered and worked with various dogs and breeds over the last few years, ranging from a 5 pound yorkie to a 44lb hyperactive year old mutt to a 100lb great dane. I will be home most, if not all, days, and I always have extra time to spend with my rover clients! I'm always happy to provide extra walks, extra potty breaks, or otherwise accommodate any special needs. I'm currently around pretty much all the time! The only commitments I have are feeding my own critters, so my schedule is flexible based on pet and owner needs. I'm committed to creating and maintaining a safe and calm environment for animals in my care. I'm always on the lookout for things they could get into that they shouldn't, and I carry dog mace on walks for the safety of my clients.

“Dan was a great sitter! Our dogs were happy, our house was exactly as we left it, and he responded super quickly to all my messages. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of different animals since I was very little. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, bunnies and even a chinchilla. I’ll take care and love your animals like I do my own. I work a full time job but I can come early In the morning and around 5 in the evening . I try to be as flexible with your needs and wants for your animals. I have 2 cats who are polar opposites. One loves to snuggle and the other hides in our room like she’s a 16 year old teenager. We love them both as they are and cater to what each of them needs.

About: Patient, firm but gentle dog handler and groomer. I have over 15 years of experience working with dogs including working as a dog groomer. I feel consistency is the best method to keeping dogs balanced so I will work closely with you to create a routine that is best for your fur baby. My approach as a handler is through repetition/consistency/patience. I primarily work from home, I do work part time a few days a week outside of the home. I aim to keep the same feeding and potty schedule the pet currently has to lessen anxiety and behavioral issues. If I’m not able to do so, I will not book the boarding. I give fur babies time and space to acclimate to the new environment. For safety no food, totes or treats are provided, except from pet parent. All fur babies are in collar & leash for bathroom breaks/walks. I board two fur babies maximum and small/medium sized fur babies only.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.
