About: I have years of experience with dogs and pets, starting from growing up around animals to caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with routine walks, basic commands, and following care instructions exactly as owners outline them. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra patience and care. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured, consistent way. I plan my schedule in advance so I can give each pet my full attention without rushing. I keep a limited number of bookings to ensure walks and visits happen on time and aren’t treated as an afterthought. I’m especially reliable for recurring walks and drop-ins during the week, and I keep my calendar updated so owners always know my availability. If I accept a booking, I commit to it fully and build the rest of my day around that responsibility. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, routine, and clear communication. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I take time at the beginning of each visit to let the pet get comfortable, check collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure the environment is secure before starting walks or play. I keep doors and gates secured, avoid unsafe situations, and stay attentive at all times — especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and leave it as I found it, while making sure the pet feels calm and cared for. After each visit or walk, I provide a clear update so owners know how everything went. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident.

“This was our first experience with Rover and Melinda did an amazing job! My dog Charlie is reactive and nervous around new people but warmed up to Melinda quickly during our meet and greet. Melinda played with Charlie and provided pictures and detailed feedback on the drop-in visit. I’m so grateful to have found this service and Melinda in particular!”

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. From helping raise and care for my childhood yellow Lab, to fostering two senior dogs, pet-sitting in different cities, to raising my own puppy the last few years, I'm comfortable with puppies and seniors alike. Whether I'm training, walking, or administering meds, I approach pet-care with kindness, ease, and patience. I work from home, providing me with a flexible schedule to walk or drop in to check on your pups. Working remote also means I am home nearly all the time, ensuring your dog isn't alone if I they are staying with me. Every dog has different needs and every owner has different schedules and expectations. I am very flexible and like to adhere to the dog's routines and what they're used to, in the same way that I'd want someone to do for me. Having dog-sat puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, I've learned how unique each experience is. I have a cozy, dog-friendly home and a large fenced yard as well as a community park a 5 minute walk away.

“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”

“Carolyn went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfy while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”

Karlee S.

“Ron was AMAZING! She did an incredible job at watching my babies over the holidays. I would highly recommend hiring her. I loved the amount of photos and comments she had after each visit.”

Giovanni M.

“Jackie was kind, and my cats took to her almost immediately. One of my cats is shy, and I was surprised by how quickly she could help her come out of her shell. Jackie kept the place clean, and her daily updates with photos helped us rest easy knowing that our babies were in good hands. I will definitely book her again on our next trip!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.

“Jennifer is so nice, responsible and a great communicator. I will definitely be hiring her again. Next house sitting I need, she’ll be my top choice.”

Bari & Felix B.

“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”

Emily J.

“Michelle took really great care of my cats! She was attentive to their needs and space, patient with their shyness, and very communicative with me about how they were doing while I was out of town💛”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I adore all pets and have worked with many breeds including toy poodles and doodles, German shepherds, golden retrievers, pit bulls, and many more! I’d love the opportunity to help keep your dogs healthy and happy. I am currently a part-time graduate student so I will have plenty of time to help with your pets! I am available week days and weekends for drop ins, walks, and house sitting including early mornings and evenings. I maintain respect and cleanliness in all areas of life, especially in the homes of others. I have been trusted to care for pets and house sit since I was a young child. I am responsible, extremely patient, responsive, and eager to help care for your pets. I have experience working with difficult animals and ensuring they feel safe and cared for.

“This is Jessica’s second time sitting for our three cats and we couldn’t be luckier! She took wonderful care of the cats. She was a great communicator and sent us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. She checked the litter box each time and was proactive with helping us troubleshoot. Just a cherry on top- she remembered from months ago that our cats are obsessed with Churus, and she brought them for them all week from her own stash (we had forgotten to restock)! Thanks again Jessica and would 100% rebook.”

“Andrea did a great job with our kitties! Usually the apartment is smelly from their wet food after a trip but this time, no smell! She let them out for balcony time which is pretty much their favorite activity during the warm months. Pic updates were awesome too!”
