About: I have had dogs all throughout my childhood, and whether it’s small pups or big fluffy ones, I love them all! I also love the outdoors and being active. I am currently a student and I have a lot of free time with only one job working Saturday evenings. I commonly go to the gym in the late morning but I am available mostly every day! I offer pet sitting at your own home, along with stop ins and dog walking, keeping your pet cared for and comfortable! I will carefully follow provided instructions for your pets needs.

“Kari was excellent with my 11yo diabetic cat! She was able to monitor his food intake and give him insulin shots when needed. When he didn't eat right away, she was able to hang around a little so the shot could be administered. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! The daily pics were great too. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I have a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up in a family that always had pets. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I have also provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications when needed, taking dogs on regular walks, providing exercise and companionship, maintaining their routines, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention and dedication, ensuring they receive the same love, routine, and care they would at home. I will be beginning a new job as a PA in the near future, but until then I have a very flexible schedule and can devote 100% of my time and attention to the pets in my care. Even as I transition into my career, I will only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet continues to receive the reliable, attentive care they deserve. You can trust me to be reliable, punctual, and highly communicative through every visit! treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your pet's routine. I am highly trained in reading animal body language, comfortable handling medical emergencies, and will send you daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong personalities. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, from highly protective working dogs to total goofballs, and I know every dog has their own personality and needs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, so I’m used to handling different routines, energy levels, and temperaments. I currently work part-time and am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to work with specific routines since I know consistency is important for pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that seriously. I always try to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and any changes that seem off, and I’ll keep you updated so you feel informed while you’re away.

About: I really like to meet animals where they are. If they are high energy and love to play then that is what we will be doing. If they are a lounge on the couch kind of dog then I will lay with them. I currently have one dog and I have been able to teach him many tricks like roll and high five! I also have 3 cats who keep me busy but in a good way! I have dog sat before many times but I am excited to meet new animals on Rover. I work full time on the weekdays from 7:45-4. I would also be able to be at your home for a few minutes during my lunch break depending on the location. I have full availability Friday night - Sunday night I always make sure that I am following their routine and doing things the way that you would do them! I will ask any questions if I have them to make sure I am doing everything right. The animals would never be able to escape as I am very careful with doors and I always wrap leashed around my wrist for a second layer of protection

“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Christine was awesome. My two cats looked so happy when I got back. She sent a ton of pictures which my daughter appreciated! Definitely recommend.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.

About: Ever since I was born, there has always been a cat or dog in my life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like family. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and building a special bond with them so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently searching for a full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. In the meantime, I’ll be able to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time healthcare worker and college student with a lifelong love for animals. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time in healthcare during the day, which has helped me become responsible, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I’m available most evenings after 5:00 PM and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. I treat my pets like family. They have automatic feeders and water fountains, clean litter boxes, regular grooming, quality food, and plenty of love and attention.

I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment in both my home and my clients' homes. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family.

About: One of my favorite things about dogs is how each one is unique! I take the time to learn each dog's likes, dislikes, triggers, and quirks. I've been a dog-walking volunteer at Speranza Animal Rescue for over two years, where I walk dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm also a dog training nerd, and I'm always excited to share training and enrichment ideas with my clients. My own dog of 14 years struggled with reactivity, which sparked my passion for learning about dog behavior. I believe in the importance of building a relationship with each dog. I also have experience with senior dogs and giving medication. Whether your dog is a nervous nelly, a rambunctious rascal, or something in-between, I tailor each walk or drop-in to meet your dog's needs! Pet-sitting is my full-time gig, so I have plenty of flexibility around my standing dog-walking appointments! Contact me to find out if I have a time slot or availability that will work for you. :) I will keep your home tidy and neat when I visit, as if I haven't been there. I'm happy to refill food/water, bring in mail or packages, and crate or gate your pup if needed before I leave. Just let me know what you need!

“Samantha was a huge help to check in on our dogs at the last minute. She sent lots of photos & was a great communicator.”

About: I’ve had mainly dogs since I was a young kid. At one point we had a litter of 10, and 4 grown adults. I’ve walked/sat both friends and in-laws pets. I currently have a toy poodle who is adorable and about 2 years old. I’ve had labs, a boxer, mixed rat terrier dogs. I love dogs who are excited and share their personalities! I currently work full-time, have 2 young active kids. I am available most evenings and some weekends to help care for your dogs! Evenings during the week will be available as I can fit in between my kids sports. Weekend flexibility will also be available and more open than week days. Snugs, snugs and more snugs!! Currently my toy poodle is a snuggler. Shes a Mama’s girl. But also very playful. She loves her balls and running playing fetch and bringing it back. She loves going for walks around our neighborhood. Sometimes I do talk to her like I talk to young kids, but it’s so enjoyable to see the communication come back from them as well. Playing, snuggling and walking are top activities!

“Bayleigh did a great job watching my cats! She provided updates and plenty of photos and pictures each day. She spent time playing with them which I know they appreciated and she did everything I requested during her visit. Would definitely book her again!”

About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and I have learned how all dogs have different needs. I know how to be patient with them and how I need to be in order to care for them. I work as a groomer and I am constantly learning how to take care of different dogs and what needs they have. I am able to work with any dog and I am always patient with them. I make sure to give my dog daily exercise and give him appropriate nutrition to keep him healthy. I also clean up outside and bathe him when needed.
