About: Hi there! I'm Makeda Imani, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I've been doing pet boarding and sitting for over 7 years, and I’m certified in both animal psychology and behavior as well as pet first aid, so your furry friend will be in safe, experienced hands. 🐾 At this time, I only offer house sitting in your home, where your pet feels the most comfortable and secure. I know how important it is to keep routines consistent, and I always treat your home and your pet with the same love and respect I would my own. Although I don’t have my own car, I always make sure I’m prepared—whether that’s using Pet Uber or other reliable transportation options. So you don’t need to worry—your pet’s needs and safety will always come first. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or just being a calming presence while you’re away, I take every job to heart. I’d love to become part of their care I take care of regular house pets as well as exotic animals I can do light house care work while there as well and I always leave the pet and the pet parents happy and satisfied 😊 I currently do pet sitting at your home full time at the moment so all my time essentially goes into my small business and doing my pet sitting I always follow strict instructions given to me by clients and if not then I know how to take care of pets pretty I am also willing to administer medication provide treats to administer medication walks or just have enrichment time and play as well as run if the dog is capable or just relax if they're that type of pet I truly do try to treat others animals as if they are my own while taking care of them so you won't be seeing any negative change in your pets behavior while working with me
About: Being around animals is nothing new to me, they tend to love my radiant energy. I like to take the dogs to the park to let them get the zoomies out, and watching cats make biscuits !😂 I am a stay at home mom so animals won’t be a problem, they will actually give me something fun to do during the my down time. I have a fenced yard and a park down the street just to make our day more active. Animals are enjoyed, loved and took care of in my household. I’m easy to communicate with and gives updates throughout the duration of the stay.

About: I'm a trusted pet lover who’s got a special knack for Doberman Pinschers—thanks to hours of YouTube expertise! Your furry friends are in good hands with me. I'm working part-time and my schedule is open most of the weekday and majority of the time on weekends. I have plenty of free time. This is because I am self-employed. I am constantly seeking ways to improve the care of my pets. I do this by watching YouTube videos about pet care, feeding them homemade meals, and providing them with plenty of attention.
“Lizbeth was very communicative and went beyond what we expected for someone to be watch our Teddy boy. We previously were booking with another Rover sitter but they became unavailable so we had to start over explaining routine/etc and Lizbeth was better than we could’ve expected.”

About: My husband and I both grew up in pet loving homes. I’v had pets since I was a little girl so am very experienced with all types of pets. We currently have 3 dogs and live in large fenced in house A little about my fur-babies: Benji is my fawn pug, he is 8 years old. Darcy and Ollie are both rescues we rescued from the streets, fostered and ultimately decided they were a good fit for our family. They are all great with other dogs and don’t mind having any pet’s around. We had to say goodbye to our pug Kevin in 2023, he was a special needs pug and needed constant care and medical attention. We have lots experience dealing with special/medical needs dogs. We are huge pug lovers but welcome all types of dogs. 🐕 🩷 We both work from home and have a very flexible schedule so are always available to care for your pet and give them lots of attention and care I am home all day which allows me to spend a lot of quality time with your fur-baby. I will treat your pet like my own with love and care.
About: I’ve cared for others pets including my own since a youngin . Even went out my way for dogs and cats that didn’t have a owner. Spending time with them comes natural I’m currently only in school so I have more than enough time to take care of your pet and give him or her my full attention. Your pet will be inside my house for the most part unless we go for a walk , or have play time outside of that I live in a gated community that’s pet friendly.
“Great sitter. Sent lots of photos so I knew my dog was doing okay and was quick to respond to messages. Would ask her again to take care of my dog when I’m away!”

“Lori is amazing! She did drop-ins for my animals and was so kind and caring. Lori was very attentive with both my animals. I will definitely be using her services again! ?”

“Andy was so patient with Parker tonight even though the furball was being whiney & difficult 😅 We’re thankful that Andy is willing to learn their routine and spend the extra time to take such good care of our pups.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have grown up with dogs my entire life. From puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding schedules, potty training, crate training, and basic obedience. I currently have dogs of my own, so I understand different personalities, energy levels, and the patience it takes—especially with puppies who are still learning. I’m comfortable managing excited greetings, leash manners, barking, and redirecting playful biting in a calm and positive way. I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and structure while you’re away. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I love keeping pet parents updated so they feel at ease knowing their dog is in great hands. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to your pet. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, as well as access to a dog park within my community. I always supervise pets closely, follow routines, and prioritize safety, comfort, and care at all times.
About: I have a passion for animals and enjoy spending my free time with my own so why not help others! I am calm yet fun when it’s time for play and adventure! I am warm and loving, providing care as I would for my very own pets. I am currently working part time. I have availability in early morning hours before 7 as well as evening hours after 5:30! Weekends are free! I can provide dog walking, feeding, cleaning, and/or just providing a loving presence in your home! I am open to overnight visits and stays as well!
About: I have grown up with dogs at home since I was little. The last year I've learned a lot about what pet care entails, after stepping up to care for a family member's 2 huskies. I can ensure that your pet is loved, walked, safe, and attended to, while in my care. I'm looking to expand my professional experience by treating your dog as if they are my own. Whether it be by taking them on a walk, feeding them, or just dropping in to say hi to them. They will receive nothing but love and care while they are in my hands. I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet once I'm off the clock from my full time job. I'm available after 6pm on Thursdays. Fridays I am flexible bi-weekly. I am fully available and flexible on weekends, unless my availability is stated otherwise. I will communicate with you throughout the service to ensure your pet's safety and the safety of your home, also to establish any expectations or rules of the home. Whether it be in your home or out on a walk, I will make sure to keep you updated by sharing photos and messages of how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide you with stress free pet care and sitting.
About: As a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience in both clinical and rescue settings, I bring a level of care that goes beyond the average sitter. I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness, and handle pets with medical or behavioral needs—including seniors and those recovering from procedures. I’ve worked with puppies, helping with crate training, potty routines, and basic commands, as well as with senior pets who need patience, mobility support, and special care. Whether it’s a young pup full of energy or a sweet senior needing gentle attention, I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine—I’m a student who gets out of school early during the week, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to dedicate to your pet’s care. I prioritize consistency, whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just companionship. While I’m unavailable on weekends due to work commitments, I’m very reliable during the week and make sure each visit is calm, attentive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more specialized routines with confidence and compassion. For check-ins and walks, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. During check-ins, I make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets plenty of affection, and that litter boxes or potty areas are clean. I also check for any signs of stress or illness and send you updates so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, I prioritize safety and fun. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid overly crowded areas, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or slow sniffs, I make sure they get the mental and physical stimulation they deserve. I treat every visit like I’m caring for my own pet—with patience, professionalism, and lots of love.

About: My mom owns a dog kennel/ grooming facility. I have worked there since I was 7 years old. I've also worked with rescues since 9yo. I've bottle fed kittens and puppies, and I have rehabilitated the most anxious or "mean" pets you can think of to find their forever homes. I have cared for everything from baby rats to horses. I'm currently working full time and going to school but I am available in the mornings and I am off work at varying times usually between 3:30-4 pm At home my dogs are are more spoiled than me! They all have matching sweaters and raised beds. I love them more than most people 🤣
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs, small and large ever since I was a kid. I am very trusted amongst family members when they need advice on their pets whether they are feeling okay or what they enjoy. I have watched over cats and dogs to either take them out to the bathroom, clean their puppy pads or change their litter. I can provide meals and bathroom breaks in a timely manner in order to satisfy furry friends! I know a lot about pets because of how much time I’ve spent over the years researching and learning pet behavior on what comforts or can discomfort them. I take pride in being a responsible pet owner/ caregiver because I know furry friends need just as much care as a child too! I’m currently in a college student looking for another fun job. I currently work a part time, so my schedule is often switched and random so I wouldn’t say that I can set a specific schedule for pet caregiving days but I do get my schedule 2 weeks in advance so I am always open to arrange meetings/ appointments those days! I clean up after every mess they make. I make sure to keep a steady schedule for meals. I make sure to brush and clean them as needed. And I always make sure they’re comfortable whether it be to play or relax.
