About: I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier and later a Welsh Terrier, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for dogs at different life stages. I also have hands-on experience supporting a senior dog - handling vet visits, acupuncture appointments, and helping him get around comfortably when his mobility declined. I’m a young professional looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. In college, I lived with a friendly and affectionate pit mix who quickly became one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever known. In addition, I’ve fostered puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog gets the best care possible.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their dogs and cats. I am very experienced taking care of cats and dogs. I can clean litter boxes, bathe, feed, and walk as needed. I have a flexible schedule and I can spend time with your pet for however long you need. I am currently taking some classes so I am available at most times during the week and weekends. I have plenty of time to walk and/or play with your pets! I am available to stay in your home and watch cats or dogs of any age. I have experience helping with rescue organizations and with pets of my own!

“Paola took great care of our pets! She even dealt with a carbon monoxide detector with a low battery. I loved the pictures and updates she sent daily - they put my mind at ease that my babies were well taken care of while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole was amazing! I looked forward to getting the updates every day! She made leaving my Lulu at home just a little bit less stressful! Will definitely be booking her again!”


“We had our first booking with Jonathan today. He was very responsive and arrived right on time. He remained calm around all three of our dogs. Will book Jonathan again.”

“Nicole has been such an incredible help with Rufus. She’s been extremely reliable, responsive, and most importantly, Rufus adores her. Suggest Nicole to anyone looking for quality care of their pets, big or small!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 50+ years. In my 20s I bread dogs and throughout my life I’ve owned dogs from cocker spaniels to chihuahuas to labs, I truly love them all. A side hobby of mine is making organic, raw dog food for my own dogs that I’ve been doing for the past 8 years. I’m a substitute teacher and love animals. Since the school year is coming to an end I would like to fill me days taking care of dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. When I visit your home, I’ll provide loving care, plenty of attention, and follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and happy. From cuddles and playtime to walks and feeding, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter provided for our four cats while we were away. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling. She went above and beyond to make sure their routines stayed consistent and that each of them received plenty of attention and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our furry family!”

“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”


“Words can’t describe how grateful that we’ve found Christina for our baby Twyla. It was our first full vacation leaving her, and we didn’t worry once because we knew she was in the best care. The first meet and greet we knew it was the perfect match. I wish I can leave a million stars. Thank you Christina from the bottom of our hearts. We are so appreciative and blessed to have found you. Twyla loves you and she says thank you for taking such good care of me. Hugs! Ashley, Bill, and Twyla”

About: I am a proud owner of a beautiful pup at home that makes me smile everyday. Having her has taught me how to interact, love and care for dogs. This is an experience I can share with other dogs. I grew up I surrounded by many dogs at home and at my family's farm in my home country, so since a young age I have been interacted with them and has allowed me to understand how important they become to our lives. I speak Spanish as well Im currently working full time as a dog walker. Any other services like boarding plese text me to see if I can help you out! During our walk I can assure you that my time and attention would be directed to your pup, so it can enjoy our time together as much as I will.
About: As a dog mom myself, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. What sets me apart is the way I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, and I’m especially good with shy or anxious pups who need extra TLC. I’m currently a student and off for the summer, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and fully committed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and at home. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they enjoy that!), and keep their space clean and stress-free.
Mountain Lakes dog parents share their Rover experiences
Donna was amazing. We were in a bind at the last minute and she was accommodating and put our minds at ease while we had a family obligation that too us away. She was great with 3 rescue animals including one with significant anxiety issues. Highest recommendation.
