“I can't enough good things about Matt. He's upbeat and friendly to Truman and myself. When walking, he gets updates from friends in the neighborhood and keeps me abreast. Besides walking, he's fed my fish and did small things around the house for me. Truman loves him and I get to speak to him after his walk.”
About: Hi, I’m Katie your dog’s next best friend! 🐾 I absolutely love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve had years of experience caring for dogs, starting from childhood. I grew up with sweet, low-energy bulldogs and now, as an adult, I share my life with a high energy german shorthair ( and I’m german shorthair obsessed) and just took in a husky so I truly understand the unique needs of both mellow couch potatoes and energetic adventurers. Whether your pup wants a calm stroll or an upbeat, engaging walk, I’m here for it and when I’m walking your dog, they have my full attention. No distractions, just me and your dog, making the most of our time together. If your dog is staying with me for boarding, they’ll enjoy a big, secure yard, playtime with friendly resident dogs (if they’re social), and all the comforts of home. I’ll follow your usual routine meals, playtime, sleeping arrangements to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and love helping pet parents like you make life a little easier, knowing your pup is in great hands. I am a stay at home mom, just trying to care for some pups in my spare time so I have a pretty open schedule! Always ask and I will do my best to work something out for you! I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to play and run, if your dog sleeps in a cage they will sleep in a cage if they aren’t used to that they can sleep in our room with us. Whatever makes your dog comfortable we will do for them. A safe place for all pups! We do have two dogs of our own if they need there own space we have a basement that’s secluded and secure that the other dogs won’t bother them.
“Brittany was great, she came in while I was working and took Fermin for his walks, always reporting everything. You can tell how happy Fermin was to be around her ! I will definitely book her again!”
“Keerie is a great dog walker for our Mabel. Mabel loves her weekly long walks and snuggles and I love Keerie’s responsiveness, timeliness and communication. Keerie is a true animal lover who I highly recommend.”
“Monica was pleasant and interested to know all the little things about my doggies. She was timely, played with my dogs and took them for a walk. I will be having her back!”
“Marie & Jorge love my Rockie like their own. It gives me a lot of ease when traveling and / or away from him all day. I love getting pictures of him during his walks and when he is at day care making friends. I highly recommend them. 😊”
“Shelley was terrific with my pups. They warmed up to her right away and had the best walk ever! She is professional and personable and I would recommend her highly. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Katarina is an excellent dog walker and I am extremely happy with her services! She goes above and beyond her expectations every time she comes by and takes care of my girls!! I have a 7year old female (overweight, lol) boxer/Pitt mix and an 8 month old VERY energetic female Rottweiler and my girls absolutely love Katarina!!! She handles both of them with ease and professionalism! If you are searching for someone to come to your house and take care of your precious fur baby/babies, look nowhere else Katarina is your person!!”

I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I'm attentive to each animal’s unique needs and have a calm, gentle approach—whether it’s playing with an energetic pup or giving extra care to a senior pet. I’m also reliable, patient, and happy to follow any special routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe and loved. I teach ESL online, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to work from anywhere. That means I can stay at your home and be present throughout the day to care for your pet—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m able to build my routine around your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet sitting, which means I can stay at your home to provide consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment.
About: I have worked with animals all my life, including caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses, cows, and reptiles. I grew up providing basic first aid for my pets on my farm including bandaging, medications, and baths. I have worked with dogs from small jack russel terriers to large livestock guarding dogs. Most recently I helped my mom rescue and retrain a geriatric blue healer/beagle mix. This includes potty training and basic manners on and off the leash. I also administered medications 2x a day in the form of pills. I have also had experience giving injections for medications. I am well versed in all types of animal care, a quick learner, and great at following instructions. I’m a new stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I have 2 dogs of my own so adding more into our routine just makes sense! I love to explore, hike, and go for drives. It’s even better to do these things with a furry companion. Let me show your furry friend the joys of nature and lots of love and care.
About: I have been working at a dog day care for 6 years, which is how I got into dog sitting. I also worked in the veterinary field for 3 years. I am currently working full time 7:30/8-4:30/5 so I am not at home during the day. I am usually home by 5:30 at the latest. i have 2 dogs that are super good with other dogs so i usually take them on walks or to the park and let them run around
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

I live an active lifestyle style and love going on long walks, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and attention! I am available for weekends and weekdays at any hour.

About: I have years experience caring and boarding dogs and cats of different needs and breeds! I am a college student local to the area.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”

Paige M.
“Paige is absolutely amazing with my dogs. I have full trust in her to give them the same love and care that I would give them if I was home.

Chris was AMAZING with our dog. We were very hesitant to use someone off of Rover and she made us feel very comfortable from the start. She took lots of time to walk and play with our dog, ensuring he had clean paws, treats, and fresh water afterwards! She is great at communicating and giving updates as well. I will absolutely be using her consistently. I’m so grateful we found her!
