About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped out at my uncle’s vet clinic. Most recently, my wife and I took care of her senior family dog who needed a medley of oral medications and allergy shots. I am currently in between jobs so I am home all day on the weekdays to spend time with your pet. I like to stay active and will take your pet out for walks at a minimum of 3x a day. On the weekends, your pet won’t be home alone for more than 3 hours at a time. My wife and I currently do not have any other pets in the home. We are in a townhome with stairs, and will make sure your pet is getting up/down safely. There are lots of walking paths and grassy areas in our community.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for the past few years and absolutely love it. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just providing companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I’m currently not working, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and love making sure they feel cared for, whether it’s a quick visit or a long walk. I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s needs and routine. I currently offer drop-ins and dog walking, so I care for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided, whether it’s feeding, giving medications, or keeping up with routines like playtime or walks. I always respect the home and the pet’s space, and make it a priority to keep pets calm, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t offer boarding at the moment, but I do have a sweet 10-year-old Norfolk Terrier at home, so I understand the importance of gentle, reliable, and attentive pet care.

About: I’ve taken care of animals, but dogs especially since I was young. Taking animals for walks has always been one of my favorite activities to do in my free time. I currently work part time at my job and also attend school. Walking animals would be done after all of those activities as it brings me peace and helps me relax. I have a fenced in yard as well as plenty of play room for dogs of all sizes. I live next to a dog park as well.

About: I’ve grown up with small-medium sized dogs all my life and have raised them from puppyhood onwards. In addition, I also have prior cat-sitting experience. I have a flexible work-from-home job that allows me to be available for most days of the week. Weekends are very flexible as well if weekend services are needed. Upon entering the home, I will always assess the pet’s demeanor and respect whatever signals they’re giving me. Their comfort is everything whether we’re playing, walking them, or letting them out to do their business.

About: I have looked after my own and others pets since I was a teenager (for over 2 decades) and have developed a gentle approach to animal care and training. I have successfully trained my Huskita from a nervous, 1 year old rescue to a confident, well behaved 12 year old dog. I am extensively experienced with both cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walks and appreciate just how important they are to your dogs well being. I also understand that each dog is different and requires a tailored care experience, from the nervous and shy to the excitable and even aggressive. I am a 38 year old wildlife scientist who is adapting to a life in the US having moved here from the UK in 2025. I am looking for regular walking and home check work and can make most any day and time work during the weekdays. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own home and dog. I follow instructions carefully and will require a detailed chat leading up to the walking or sitting so you can provide any important and specific considerations for your pet. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and comfortable in their familiar space. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, giving a lot of affection, play and calm companionship. I’m mindful of routines, respectful of your home and committed to building trust with both you and your pet.

About: Dog owner I have a 7 year old dog that gets along with other dogs. Also 2 young kids so pup has to be good with kids. I am home so will be able to walk and feed dogs as frequently as necessary. I typically walk my dog 1x / day . I walk and feed the pets and the kids like to interact with the dogs too. We have a fenced in backyard that dogs love to play in.

“Jeremiah was great. Connected easily with my girls. Listened well and repeated the instructions I shared. Was gentle but also strong with his handling of my 108 lb dog who can easily pull. Will ask him back. Thank you”


“Hien took great care of my dog for two weeks of drop-in visits! She also fed my fish every day upon request and took wonderful pictures for each drop-in. Effective communication and great service!”


About: Several years ago, my sister and even my mom started dog walking and boarding dogs through Rover. As a result, whenever I was home, I would spend time with these dogs, walking them, playing with them, and even cleaning/bathing them when needed. I would love to help you out when you need it, even if it's for a short walk to get your dog some exercise. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday 8:15 to 5:00PM and can provide pet care after work starting at 5:30PM or on Saturdays (usually very busy on Sundays as well)! I will be aware of where your dog's food, water, treats, toys, etc. are to keep them happy and healthy while they are in my care.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up with my own dogs—now 19, 16, and 14 years old—I understand the special bond we share with our pets. My pet care journey began at 12, walking neighborhood dogs, and has since expanded to include a variety of dogs and cats, from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm seniors. For the past three years, I’ve volunteered and fostered at a pet rescue, gaining experience with pets of all kinds. With a flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your furry friend like family, making sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. My current schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate various pet care needs throughout the day and week. With plenty of openings, I’m eager to help out and provide reliable care for your pets whenever you need. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I'm here to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide in-home pet care, bringing the same level of attention and care that I give to my own pets. I’ll stick to your pet’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime. Being in their familiar environment helps them stay relaxed and comfortable. You can rely on me to provide attentive care and companionship, ensuring your pet feels happy and at ease while you’re away.

About: I’m dog and cat mom.Also I have two kids :) I am always at home and my husband walks the dogs every day. I'm pretty much always available and can accommodate many last minute needs. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for years. I've been growing up with dogs and cats since I was a child. It's so fun to spend time with them. I love pets ! Things happen, work happens, life happens and I understand completely! If you're going on vacation, enjoy it! You can trust your pet is safe in my care. I'll send you multiple updates throughout the day. My house has a garden and the dogs can use the garden whenever they want. :) I deep clean my condo after every dog stay. I wash toys, bedding and bowls frequently. I do not leave anything on counters or floors that can be accessed easily. I’m extremely cautious in all that I do.
