About: I had the joy of caring for my own fur baby for 12 wonderful years, he was truly my best friend and constant companion. Since his passing in 2022, I've continued to spend time with family dogs and have dog sat for pups of all ages, including seniors with special needs (Trouble walking down steps, medications etc). I treat every dog like my own, with lots of love, patience, and care. I have a flexible daytime schedule and am available for both morning and afternoon visits or walks. Whether your pup needs a morning stroll or some afternoon playtime, I'm happy to work around your routine. *House Sitting Clients - I want to be transparent about my schedule: I attend church on Monday from 7:00-8:00 PM, and on Wednesday and Friday from 7:30-9:15 PM. Occasionally, I may have cancellations and will always keep you updated. I'm also a wife, so I may need to briefly step out to tend to things at my own home, but I'll always return promptly to make sure your pet is well cared for and comfortable* I work from home in a pet-friendly apartment complex that's conveniently located near walk paths and dogs parks, perfect for getting your pup some fresh air and exercise. If your dog stays with me, they'll have plenty of attention and outdoor time. I'm also happy to care for your pet in your home, and since I can bring my laptop, I'm flexible to stay as long as needed. I have experience with crate training and can safely crate your dog upon request. Your pet's comfort and routine always comes first!
“It was a joy to have Peggy check-in on our family cats. She made sure they were well cared for and provided daily updates and pictures while we were out town. We came home to 5 very happy and well cared for fur babies. I would recommend Peggy, as it's evident she loves animals and cares for them as if they were her own and I would certainly use her services again the next time we are out of time.”
“Catherine was very professional and kept in touch before the visit. She sent photos and videos of our pup and he loved her! I would highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for pets my entire life! I have watched animals of all shapes and sizes! I have decided to expand my clientele by using rover! I have been taking dog training classes for 4 years now so my currently dog and I are constantly learning. So if you desire I will work with them on training. I walk three times a day with my dog so if our dogs get along it would be easy to walk them both we do around 5+ miles a day! So full time pet care isn’t an issue. I do not have a fenced yard but I can get your fur baby plenty of exercise as I have a dog of my own to keep yours company. My neighbor also has a fenced yard she is willing to let me use!

“Andrea is so kind, she is very professional and all my animals seem to appreciate her too! I would recommend her to anyone.”
“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: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pup parent, I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, providing reliable, loving care that keeps tails wagging and pet parents worry-free. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or cozy company, I treat every pet like mine. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days with walks, playtime, and feeding for my own dog, so caring for other pets fits in seamlessly. Whether it's morning check-ins, afternoon play breaks, or evening cuddles, I enjoy making time to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. All my pet care is done at the client's home, neighborhood, or nearby park. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, keeping pets relaxed by sticking to their familiar schedule. I make sure every pet gets the love, exercise, and care they need to feel right at home, wherever they are.
