About: I love walking dogs and spending quality time outside. Whether it's playing fetch or going for a nice walk, I focus on the dog the entire time—I won’t ignore your dog and play on my phone. I use positive reinforcement and clear commands to set expectations for walks and play time. Your dog deserves meaningful exercise and socialization. I grew up with dogs, but most recently, I’ve cared for my two Weimaraners for 6 years. They receive daily exercise, engagement, and enrichment. Whether you have a high-energy dog who needs longer walks and play sessions or a dog that wants to sniff around and soak up vitamin D, I'll meet your dog where it is. Pet care has been part of my life for several years, and I look forward to spending time with dogs every day. I’m a high school teacher and enjoy regular exercise. Over the summer, I’m available most days and times to care for your dog(s) while you’re at work. When first meeting a dog, I move at their pace. I let them sniff me and familiarize themselves with me without getting in their face or forcing affection. The first few walks will focus on building a connection and relationship with your dog. I use positive reinforcement when walking dogs on a leash or while playing with them in a field or park. I often use the dog’s kibble as their “treat” and reward for good behavior and obedience.
“Amy is wonderful! This is our 2nd trip with our kitty under her care and we’re about to do a third. She keeps trying with our very shy cat, which we sure appreciate! She sends pics and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. I highly recommend her!”

About: Do you have experience with young dogs, old dogs, dogs with special needs, dogs on medication and dogs needing lots of love and exercise. We love to play in this house and are very engaged with your pet. We have two doggy doors and 3 years experience. We are an active family and are willing to play, comfort, and make your pet feel at home. We are looking for pets that have no hostility or history of abuse but rather are comfortable with children. We have experience with all sizes of dogs up to Italian Mastif sized. It would be a blessing to help watch your furry family member. Must love long walks in the grass and running about. Lots of love and snuggles. Party of 5 We are an active, family-oriented household, and someone is home most of the time, which allows us to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. We love getting outside for walks and activities, but we're just as happy spending quiet time giving belly rubs and snuggles. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and will receive lots of love, care, and companionship while you're away. Providing a safe, loving, and low-stress environment is my top priority. For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure, board-on-board fenced backyard with locked gates and a doggy door that allows them safe access to the outdoors for potty breaks and play. Because someone is home most of the time, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. For cats, we create a calm and enriching environment with cozy spaces to relax, plenty of areas to explore, and windows where they can enjoy watching the world go by. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to follow their individual routines and comfort levels. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their established schedules and routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Whether it's feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, medications, playtime, or lots of affection, I care for every pet as though they were one of my own.

Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.
“Angelique is the best! She checks on my cats when I am out of town and they love her, And as cat owners know, that’s high praise! She she is a wonderful and kind and very communicative. She is my absolute go to when I need to care.”


About: I've been a FT house sitter with 3 large dogs. I took care of the dogs, house and lawn. I've lived with dogs my entire life; different breeds all at once. I have dealt with many different dog problems like weak stomachs and small bladders. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. I have learned to be patient with all dogs because they are all different. I can walk long distances with your dogs, for those needing that exercise and short walks around the block just for business. I am self motivated and would love to take care of your dogs for you. I do not mind brushing dog's hair and teeth or even giving them a bath. If your dog requires medicine, I can administer this also. My oldest dog I used to own, Taz, was a yorkie-poo, who late in life had many complications (heart murmur, torn ACL) but he was a great dog that just needed extra time and help.

About: I fell in love with & have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old.

“Madison took care of our 2 fur babies on a last minute request and I’m so glad we found her! She was good at communicating and according to the photos she share our dogs always looked so happy to see her.”

“Thank you Ericka for taking such good care of our pups and still making it to our house through the snow/ ice storm! She always showed up on time and spent time giving love to our dogs! Thank you so much Ericka!”

“Alexis was great! Not only did she feed our fur babies while we were out of town for a few days but also stayed and played with them too. Exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend her!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Yuki! This was our first time using Rover, and we were pleased to see Yuki, who is usually anxious, be so comfortable with Louann. Thank you so much for giving Yuki such a good experience, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”

About: I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets for over seven years, including Jonah (Golden Retriever), Jessie (Golden Pyrenees), and Mittens (tuxedo cat). My background includes hands-on experience caring for family animals and taking in rescues reflecting a lifelong dedication to animal care. My current schedule allows for consistent availability throughout the entire week, with mornings/afternoons before 4pm preferred. My availability after 4pm varies daily, so feel free to message to prior to booking! My home is a pet-friendly (and pet filled) environment with a large fenced yard for outdoor play, though most of our time with Mittens is spent indoors surrounded by toys and cozy spots to relax. I have three resident pets — Jonah, a Golden Retriever, Jessie, a Golden Pyrenees, and Mittens, a tuxedo cat — all of whom love playtime and are great company.
