We were so pleased with the care our rather old, rather shy cat received from Crispin. And, to my amazement-the kitty area was as clean as I left it. Crispin, both kitty and I thank you!

Mike was kind, communicative, and enthusiastic about taking care of our cat. He went above and beyond watching him during the Christmas holiday! Would hire again and highly recommend.

Nick was great! Came when he said he would, took the dogs out for a walk, and took some really cute photos of the dogs. Will definitely have him walk/sit for us again!

About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.

Cheryl was terrific taking care of my cats when I was out of town! They usually hide from strangers, but made an appearance to get some attention! She sent detailed updates along with photos so I didn’t have to worry at all.

Kathleen watched my cat Odie over a long weekend and took great care of him. She’s easy to communicate with, is very knowledgeable about animals, and sent plenty of pictures with each visit. I felt totally comfortable with her caring for Odie as soon as I met her. Thanks for taking such good care of Odie! I’d love to have you watch him again!

About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a loving and reliable dog sitter who treats every pup like part of the family. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your furry friend company, I make sure tails are wagging and pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so you can count on me for plenty of love, playtime, and updates while you’re away. From extra belly rubs to long walks, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I run my own business from home, which allows me the flexibility to care for your pups on a routine basis; whether that’s checking in on them, going on walks, or caring for them overnight—I’m here to help. I have a fenced yard with two friendly pups who enjoy making new friends. Pups are housed inside the home in a pleasant environment with frequent potty breaks.

About: Hi there! I am passionate about showing up for our animals to the best of our abilities. Each dog has their own needs and I am happy to assist you in any way in meeting those needs! If they need frequent potty breaks, daily enrichment, or long walks, you can count on me to place your dogs as a priority. I received dog training and certification at my local animal shelter through their volunteer program, so I come prepared to handle all sorts of behaviors, breeds, and ages. I currently work part time downtown, so I can provide your animal with plenty of care! AM: I am up bright and early, so early morning walks before 8:30am work great for me. PM: My part time job is mainly evening oriented, so I am often available in the late afternoon to early evening on work days. On the days that I am not working, I can be available between 2:00pm to the following morning. Certain weekdays and weekends will be open to overnight pet sitting upon request. I can also work with my schedule to check on your dog throughout the day as agreed upon. Rest assured, I will fully commit to your requirements! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! In home, I do my very best to create a comfortable environment for you and your animals. My services will be catered to your animal’s specific needs. I will be sure to communicate with updates according to your preferences, because we all want to know how our pups are doing when we are away! Depending on your preferences, I can take your dogs out for walks around the neighborhood, or to the various local parks! I love to hike, so please let me know if that is something you’re interested in for your dog. You can be sure your dogs will be safe in my car! I treat them the same way I would a human child, with the utmost attention and diligence! I am a very safe driver, and have never received a ticket. I have experience giving my own dogs their prescribed medicine as directed by the vet. If this is required for your animal, I request specific and written instructions. During feeding times, I will follow your guidelines to ensure your animal has their familiar food. They will always have fresh water, and I will check their water supply continuously throughout the day.

About: I have proudly cared for my own dog for the past 9 years, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, companionship, and overall pet care. I am a beginner to Rover, however I genuinely love animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe, caring environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, as I have cared for my own dog for the past 9 years. I work full time during the week, but I am available after 6PM on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to longer walks, playtime, and personalized care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I ensure they have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and are always kept safe. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own dog.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! I’ve had three dogs (german shepherd, pitbull, lab) and three cats. I have experience with very high energy, fun, loving dogs and it’s never to much.😉 Being around these animals for so long, I’ve gotten experience accommodating diet needs, medicinal needs, even surgery recovery. Any animal you can think of I’ve probably taken care of! I love my babies with everything in me and I’ll love yours just as much! I can wait to meet you and them! I’m available every day of the week! I can accommodate early mornings, late nights, whatever you need! I primarily work my current job in early afternoons but even that is open at times. I am always attentive and alert when taking care of another’s pet. Being that my dogs have gone through multiple surgeries I’ve learned to observe mannerisms to help and accommodate pets as best I can!

About: I've always had a deep love for dogs, having grown up with them. Unfortunately, my current living situation doesn’t allow for a pet. However, I’ve had the privilege of caring for friends and family’s dogs, ranging from weekly to monthly stays. I’ve even spent nights at their homes to ensure their pets are well-cared for. I am newly retired and love taking walks at the beach, park, and around the neighborhood. I would enjoy animal companionship to keep me company. I’ve cared for dogs in various living situations, including those who sleep in crates or inside the home. I’m comfortable working remotely on a laptop, allowing me to spend time outdoors or in a separate room, minimizing disruption to the dog’s routine.

About: I am passionate about pups! I would love to walk or run with your dogs in the community for some quality outdoor fun. I can also entertain your furry friends in the comfort of their own home.

I've had dogs my whole life and am very comfortable around them whether they are large or small. I am young and active and really enjoy taking dogs out for some special outdoor time--it's fun to see how happy they become when they are running around and exploring. My schedule is flexible and I am generally available to watch your your dog(s) seven days a week and most holidays. I am available for housesitting and overnights schedule permitting. Join the Woof Pack! You won't be disappointed.

Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats while I was away! One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, and she handled both without any issues. She kept up with feeding, cleaned the litter box, and was very communicative — sending daily pictures and updates that gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Caroline was great with Pepe, who isn’t used to being left home alone very often. He is a sensitive, shy, and stubborn older gentleman, but Caroline went above & beyond catering to his needs, working with us to address any concerns in real time as they arose. Communication was excellent, care and concern for both our home and pet was superb, updates were regular & consistent. We are so grateful to her and would highly recommend Caroline without hesitation.
