“My puppies were drawn to her the day that she walked through our door! I left the country and she kept me informed and connected with my babies the entire time!! She made my trip so much easier!”

“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

“Danita was amazing, she help me out at the last moment when my scheduled dog walker did not show up. I would recommend her to take care of your fur baby. She even offered to dog sit so my vacation was not stressful due to the other dog walker being a no show.”

About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have cared for pets my entire life. I currently have two cats and have had several dogs over the years, including my soulmate dog who passed about a year and a half ago. I often pet sit for friends when they go out of town and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m in nursing school, but it’s summertime, so no classes! I currently work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of opportunities to care for your pet! I’ll take care of your pets as if they’re my own, and I’ll follow all directions to the fullest! I understand the stress of going out of town or leaving your pets alone for extended periods of time, and I can help!
About: I have had pets since the day I was born. Even when I went to college, my roommate had 2 cats that I love so much. I have experience with almost all animals you can think of. I have handled timid animals, young animals, senior animals, and animals with behavioral issues. I’m currently working a part time job, mainly during weekdays typically night shifts. I am very up front and honest about availability and will update as soon as anything changes. When taking care of other peoples pets, I always put their pet and their home as first priority. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and does not feel stressed out with a new person being around.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for a few years now, I have done dog walking and over-night care. I have proven to be reliable and have always loved it! I also have experience giving oral medications and injections to dogs and cats. I am an RN and have grown up with special needs animals so I now give care to animals and people! I can give meds to your fur babies no problem! I’m currently working as a nurse so I only work three days a week which gives me plenty of time for walks, trips to the park and lots of playtime! I am very good at following instructions for overnight care. I have made puzzle food bowls and frozen mats for pets along with taking them to the park and of course their usual walks. I do not mind staying with the pets in the same room the entire night and or frequent potty breaks during the night.
About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this. I am taking some time to start my own business with my wife. So there’s plenty of time and attention to go around. Most of my work can be scheduled around Rover. If I am housesitting however I may have to leave for a few hours at a time but usually no longer than 3 or 4 so that your pet gets the maximum amount of attention possible. Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.

About: Hi! We’re T.J. and Allie — lifelong dog lovers based in Seymour who truly treat our dogs like family. We currently share this Rover account, though most dog walking and drop-in visits will be handled by me, T.J. I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely consider them my favorite thing in the world. My wife and I don’t have kids, so our dogs are our kids — spoiled, loved, and cared for like family. We’re proud parents to three of the best boys ever: Ted, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise mix with the sweetest personality Banjo, a 12-year-old Sheltie mix who’s calm, loyal, and wise Otis, our newest addition — a 24-week-old Beagle & Jack Russell Terrier mix who is currently stealing our hearts (and socks) Because Otis is still very young, we are not offering boarding at this time while we focus on house training, routines, and helping him grow into a well-mannered pup. Once he’s fully trained and settled, we’ll happily open our home to boarding other dogs in the future. In the meantime, we’re excited to focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting — which honestly lets us give dogs our full attention in the environment they’re most comfortable in: their own home. I absolutely love going on walks and genuinely look forward to taking dogs out, exploring their neighborhoods, and making sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m very comfortable working with dogs on basic commands, leash manners, and obedience reinforcement, and I always follow the owner’s routines and preferences closely. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and videos during every visit. I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pride and joy, and I want you to see just how much fun your dog is having while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, attentive, communicative, and genuinely excited to spend time with your dog — we’d love to help. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care is intentionally built into my schedule, and I plan my day around visits to ensure each dog gets focused, unrushed attention. On weekdays I'm typically available for afternoon (after 4pm) and evening visits depending on the day. I do not overbook, so your pet will receive consistent, reliable care — not a rushed check-in. On most weekends I am available and excited to help with your doggos however I can. Because I’m in and out throughout the day, I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, structured walks, playtime, and reinforcement of basic commands when requested. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely — including feeding schedules, crate preferences, medication needs, and exercise routines. I aim to keep their environment consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my priority. I double-check leashes, doors, and gates before and after every visit, and I remain attentive during walks to avoid unsafe situations. I use positive reinforcement, calm energy, and structured handling to ensure dogs feel secure and well-managed. Clear communication is important to me, and you’ll receive photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I have always had dogs as pets, but in addition coworkers, friends, and family members have trusted me to house sit and walk their dogs. Animals are my passion, and I have always adored getting to take care of them and have some fun along the way! I am a full-time college student, but I have a lot of free time in my afternoons, and when summer break starts, I will be available full time. For now, I am keeping my availability to afternoons on all days of the week for dog-walking and house-sitting. For my pets at home, I have a fenced-in yard for the pups to run around in. I also have crates for when I am away, so I am used to multiple ways of keeping dogs safe and secure in a home. I am adaptable to whatever way my clients may take care of their pets, including, but not limited to feeding times, potty schedules, and use of a crate if needed.
About: Recently relocated from Northern California and I am so excited to meet your furry family companions and become your trusted pet care provider. What sets my dog walking and pet drop-in services apart is the personalized care and attention I provide. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor each visit to ensure they feel loved, safe, and happy in your absence. Whether it’s an energizing walk or a quick check-in to provide food, water, and companionship, I prioritize your pet’s well-being. With reliable scheduling, clear communication, and a genuine love for animals, I offer peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, dedicated hands. Providing pet care is my full time occupation and therefore I create a schedule that supports my life as well as your pet care needs. I want to ensure your furry friend is safe and happy during their visits with me. That's why I kindly ask each new client for a meet and greet session beforehand and for you to share any important details about your pup. Thank you!
