Siu-Lin was wonderful, and took great care of my dog, providing walks and feeding twice a day when I needed to duck out of town unexpectedly. She's very responsible, and my dog took to her immediately. I recommend her highly!

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

About: For the past few years I’ve been the number one contact in my family to pet sit. From small to large dogs I’ve been paid to feed, walk, and brush them. Additionally, I have experience training and grooming my own dog. I’m home from college for the summer and I do not plan on leaving for vacation anytime soon. I can always make time for pet care, especially within the next few weeks as I apply for jobs. Although I cannot care for pets in my own home, I’m very respectful when it comes to entering others homes! The boundaries clients set will always be respected and I take pride in my abilities to properly care for and walk dogs.

About: Hi there! My name is Helen, and I’m a stay-at-home mom with two amazing children who absolutely adore dogs. Dogs are my passion, and they’ve always been a big part of our lives. In our home, your furry friend will be treated like family, because that’s exactly how we see them—an extension of our family! I’ve owned animals for my whole life. When I was in college I worked at a pet store which included animal care. After college I became a vet tech. I worked at an animal hospital for about 4 years. We are a busy household of 4, but pet care fits into our schedule daily. We live in a cozy, pet-friendly home with lots of space for your pup to relax and explore. We also have a safe, secure yard where they can run around and enjoy the fresh air. Inside, there’s no shortage of comfy spots for naps and lots of loving hands for belly rubs. Our days are filled with love, play, and care. Whether it’s a game of fetch in our fenced backyard, snuggles on the couch, or leisurely walks around the neighborhood, your dog will enjoy plenty of attention and affection while they’re with us.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and many other exotics since 2014. My yellow Labrador Riley was unfortunately lost to cancer a year ago, so there are no dogs in my house currently. But, that sorrow has just made me more active in the pet industry. I am a full-time vet assistant in training to be a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I am skilled in puppy to senior pet care, large or small. I have been learning skills of dog obedience since I graduated with a Bachelors in Biology in 2024 and my last job of 4 years working at a Petco store. Reactivity happens to be a big issue with dogs whether it’s due to dog-on-dog reactivity, people, or large objects like cars, I specialize in weeding out these traits for a better walking and socialization experience with your pup! I would be ecstatic to serve you and your canine’s needs to the fullest of my abilities while having a hell of a good time! 🐾 I’m currently working full-time as a vet assistant and enrolled in an online Veterinary Technician program but that does not stop me from wanting to assist you in your canine’s needs. Whether is something simple like dog walking or reactivity dog training, I will squeeze you into my flexible schedule! I am very knowledgeable on dog behavior and can answer many of your questions while providing you and your pup with a fun and enjoyable experience. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of grass for an enjoyable outdoor play-time experience. My yellow labrador of 10 years unfortunately passed away a year ago so my house does not have any dogs on the premises anymore incase of dog reactivity. I have no issue providing a crate for your pup but I currently cannot offer overnight boarding, only full-day dog sitting. Full-day dog watching will consist of fun car rides, walks, and training if requested. Dog walking can be done morning or night, depending on scheduling.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have loved every minute of it. I grew up with multiple dogs of all breeds and sizes, and now that I live alone and work from home, I have the time, space, and flexibility to give your pup the attention they deserve. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors—and I always aim to create a safe, happy environment where they feel right at home. Since I work from home and live alone, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and just spending quality time with the dogs. Whether it’s a morning walk to start the day or some afternoon fetch in the yard, I enjoy building pet care into my everyday life—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that mirrors their usual routine as much as possible. At my home, since I work remotely and live alone, your dog will get plenty of one-on-one attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day. I keep things clean, cozy, and quiet—perfect for both energetic pups and those who just want to relax. If I’m in your home, I always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule. I respect your space, keep you updated regularly, and treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs since I was very young so caring for a dog comes second nature to me. I frequently watch and care for my friends' and families' pets. I am currently in between jobs and am able to take your dog out for walks as well as stop by and care for them throughout the day due to my open schedule. I care for client's pets by always keeping an eye on them as well as following any special care needs or requests. I am extra attentive during walks and visits.

Thomas is the best of the best when it comes to caring for an animal! Thomas spent a week with my elderly dog who required various medications each day, in addition to help with toileting and feeding. He took an enormous of caution with her and showered her with so much love and care. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my baby was in such great hands. He is attentive, loving, and extremely passionate about caring for pets. Any animal would be lucky to spend time with him.

Phoebe is an amazing pet sitter, all 4 of my dogs love her so much. She is very caring and attentive with all of them, and makes sure to play with and keep them stimulated as well. They are always so happy to see her walk through the door. We never worry when Phoebe is watching our dogs, they are in the best hands when she is there. I highly recommend Phoebe as a pet sitter, there is no one better!

It was a pleasure having Blake stop in to take care of my dogs. She responded right away to my inquiry, scheduled a meet & greet promptly, and expertly handled the day-of duties. She was kind, attentive, and my dogs instantly warmed to her. Will definitely be using her again in the future!

Nicole has walked our dog, Ed, regularly for months. She is reliable, friendly, and Ed loves her. She communicates very timely. We have also had her stay at home for a long weekend and it was very smooth. I trust her with our pet and home which says a lot!

Wonderful !! Vanessa is super sweet while maintaining professionalism. My dog absolutely loves her. Vanessa sent photos of my pup on his walk and she played with him in my yard. He is still looking for her from my front window. I highly recommend Vanessa and will certainly be using her again. Thank you Vanessa.

This was my first time using Rover as I had a sick dog who couldnt go to daycare for a week. Jenna and Greg did a fantastic job taking care of Remi while I was at work - they kept me up to date and lots of photos as well - Im glad to have found someone I can fully trust in the future! Would highly recommend.
