About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have owned and cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats are my heart, especially elderly and high energy dogs! I also have a special place for rescue dogs and have a great understanding of their quirks and characteristics. For decades, I’ve been the person friends and family turn to when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m excited to open that up to other local families who could use a little extra help with daytime pet care. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some exercise and attention while you’re at work, or simply some company during the day, I’d love the opportunity to help! My goal is to provide the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own pets. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom and have recently opened up my daytime availability to be able to help other families in need with fur baby help! I have owned and been around animals entire life, and after recently leaving the medical field and corporate world I completely understand the need for animal care when you are busy at work! My availability would be M-F anytime after 9 and before 2:30 for drop-ins, dog walking, play, etc. I have two large dogs and a large kitty of my own! A typical day looks like spending time with them, brushing them, throwing a ball, going for long walks, and anything that is engaging and fun! I consider myself to have a vast knowledge of animal body language and overall communication. I have trained all of my own dogs - past and present, and we always get compliments on what loving and well behaved animals we have.

“Jaime was an absolute pleasure. Our pup was very comfortable with her and she did everything perfectly. Her updates and photos were always reassuring that he was in great hands.”

About: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.

“Allison was on time every visit, and provided great communication while visiting our cat who had been to the ER earlier in the week. Would recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I am looking to help out with some pups! I’m willing to do one-time, or repeating walking schedules, home care/drop-in visits, and other requests! I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats, I am comfortable around them, and since I am a stay at home college student, I have experience being the go-to for family and friends dogs sitting needs often. Please message me if interested! I currently work part-time as well as am an online college student, therefore my schedule can tend to be flexible! I also nanny, but me and my toddler go on many puppy walks daily and would love to bring a new friend along! I have a fenced in yard as well as an older pup who loves to spend time socializing with other dogs! In a clients home, I am always respectful of the spaces and make sure me and the pup keep everything clean and clear.

About: Hi there! My name is Liz and I’ve been an avid animal lover since I could understand the happiness and warmth animals can bring into your life. I have always watched friends and families dogs and cats, and decided to spread my network on Rover to continue to bring care and love to animals when their humans are away or at work. I have two cats and a dog of my own that I love dearly! Looking forward to working with you and your fur baby. 🙂🐾 I work on a college campus with some flexibility for lunch breaks and other Flex Time so I can go say hi to your babies! I am not currently available for boarding. I am happy to provide a safe environment for your babies in your home. Weather it’s just stopping in to say hi and play a little bit, or go for a good walk I’m your girl!

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.

About: I am pet CPR and first aid certified through PetTech. I worked at a dog boarding facility for a year and a half. I have gotten a professional education in dog body language, handling, and training through Kennelwood Academy. I own 4 dogs myself. I have expirience with senior dogs, sports dogs, puppies as young as 8 weeks, dogs with disabilities and more. Available all day early mornings, no later than 8pm. I am a dog and cat owner so I am no stranger to last minute help. I follow your dogs schedule exactly as written. Schedule and routine is extremely important for animals. Especially while you, the pet parent, is not home.

About: As a passionate cat owner for over two decades and a frequent sitter for our daughter's dog I have lots of experience caring for and loving our furry companions. When we visit family and friends that have dogs, I'm the one sitting on the floor rubbing bellies while everyone else sits on the furniture. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and spending time caring for and bonding with them. After decades of a successful career in the software engineering field and a recent closure of my office, I'm embracing the unplanned change as a chance to get away from a desk. This leaves me with an open schedule and the flexibility to care for your 4 legged family members at any time you need. As the owner of 2 cats that have specific dietary and medicinal requirements, I understand that each client's pets can have unique needs that must be met. I will ensure that these needs are addressed accurately and consistently. I find great joy in bonding with animals and look forward to gaining their trust and companionship at the pace that they find comfortable. There is nothing more rewarding than an animal that is excited to see and spend time with you. My goal in turn is to ensure their owners trust me as well and can feel at ease while they are away from their precious family members.

“Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!”
