“Lovely person. Great dog sitter. We have 3 rambunctious dogs and she was really great with all of them.”


“We just completed our first week with Katie- our Rover dog walker, and I am beyond impressed! She has been amazing with our dogs, instantly forming a bond with them. They come back from their walks all happy. Her communication has been excellent, with updates and pictures after every walk. We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to many more walks!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a teenager. I’ve done my research on breeds and personalities to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe around me. I’m no Cat Whisperer, but I have given cats and kittens baths with no injuries on me 😂 Love to spoil all the goodest boys and girls. Work from Home most days, occasionally I host short events on the weekends. Schedule is flexible and I try my best to manage my time appropriately. I like to keep to pet’s schedule, you being away is change enough ☺️ For walks I like to ask if there’s a specific route the pup prefers.

“Sophia is amazing! This was a last minute request, and not only was she able to take care of our pups, but she was over and above what I asked! She is also so flexible and a very good communicator. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both dogs and cats, which gave me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past two years, I’ve been pet sitting for clients, providing personalized care based on their preferences. I have experience with a variety of animals, including birds, kittens, puppies, dogs, and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring pets stay on their routine, I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible! As a full-time student with classes spread throughout the week and a part-time job, I balance my schedule to ensure I can provide attentive and reliable pet care. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate pet-sitting needs, whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or overnight stays. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure to prioritize their well-being while managing my academic and work responsibilities. I exclusively provide pet care services in my clients’ homes to ensure the best experience for their pets and mine. By caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and comfort, making the transition easier for them while their owners are away.

“Great availability and very nice to my dog!”


“Veronica is a very sweet woman who is punctual, caring, and communicates well. She cared for my two cats while I was away. I’m very thankful I met her! She is great at what she does and I’ll absolutely hire her again. Thank you!!”


“Erin was great with Axel and Ursa. Ursa is a new rescue and still working on staying in the yard and house training. I felt very comfortable with Erin caring for them. I loved getting the pictures and updates on how they were doing.”


About: I have taken care of multiple relatives dogs for as long as I can remember. I was responsible for feeding them (whether it was regular dog food or a special concoction), taking them out for walks, giving them pets and taking them to the park. I have mainly taken care of older dogs, but they were big and energetic! I also have grown up with a cats, Guinea pigs, fish and hermit crabs at one point! I’m currently a full time college student, but I have room in my schedule to take care of your animals and give them all the love and play they need! Growing up with animals, I am very receptive on how to take care of them. I have dog sat for multiple people and I have had cats my whole life! I will make sure your pet is comforted and well cared for in your home and I will make sure no harm comes to your animal or house.

“Rhonda was absolutely fabulous with Hatch! We are so appreciative of her communication leading up to and during his visit. She is so kind with Hatch and we will absolutely rebook.”


“Jodi is the best! She’s watched my cat a couple of times, and every time, she goes above and beyond. Seriously, my cat might love her more than me at this point! If you need a pet sitter, she’s the one to call.”


“Sarah was wonderful! Our anxious pup seemed to relax around Sarah right away at the meet and greet, which helped us relax about leaving for the weekend! Sarah was great at communicating updates and clearly cared for our pup lovingly. Would definitely recommend and will be asking her again!”


About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s all about giving pets the love, attention, and company they deserve. Whether you’ve got a dog, cat, or any other furry (or not-so-furry) friend, I’m here to help while you’re away or just need an extra hand during the day. I’ve spent years around animals of all kinds and truly enjoy getting to know their unique quirks and personalities. I’ll make sure they’re not just cared for—but spoiled with love, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, I’ve got you covered! I have flexibility in being able to do drop ins or walks during the day and evening during the week and any time on weekends. When spending time with any pet, it’s so important to be gentle, respectful, and tuned in to their comfort levels. That means approaching them calmly, giving them space when needed, and avoiding anything that might feel overwhelming or threatening. I gained a lot of hands-on experience volunteering at an animal shelter, where I had the chance to interact with all kinds of animals—especially dogs and puppies with a wide range of personalities. That time really helped me develop a deeper understanding of animal behavior and how to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for.

“She was great with North and kept me updated on everything! Thanks again!”



About: Hi, my name is Victoria. I love animals and I am very loving and compassionate. I've been dog sitting for 10+ years. And have helped alot of friends and families. I currently have a flexible schedule and have been dog sitting on the side for as long as I can remember (with no bad experiences!) I am a licensed cosmetologist and provide exceptional services for dogs and cats. I am very responsible and trusting. I know it can be difficult to travel when you have pets and I'm here to make that easier for you and your beloved pets. Along with dog sitting I also make sure the house is clean and cozy when you get back! If this sounds like a good fit I would love to assist! I have availability seven days a week! Mornings, afternoons and evenings! I will always try my absolute best to fit you onto my schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I will travel to the clients homes to care for their pets. I always find it easier and makes everyone more comfortable. I want to them to be as comfortable as possible in a familiar environment as well.

“Karin was terrific with our two dogs! It was their first time staying home alone while our family was out of town for a couple of days, and Karin’s kindness, attention to detail, and conscientiousness made it all possible.”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I could drive. I dog sit for family and friends pretty consistently. I also have a pretty flexible schedule! I have a really flexible schedule Monday-wednesday as I work on the weekends. However I would be willing to squeeze in a walk before work which is normally at 10am. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether in my home or the client’s. I provide fresh water, playtime, walks, and lots of love, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs from when I was a young child. We rescued a few stray cats and dogs who grew to become our beloved family pets. I’m an administrative professional who during the week works 40 hours in the medical industry and would enjoy caring for your pets in their familiar surroundings. This additional line of work helps support my child’s secondary education, and satisfies my love in caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your feline and/or canine family members and care for them at their dwelling. It’s traumatizing enough missing their owners who need to travel, being placed in an unfamiliar location can disrupt their routine and cause unnecessary stress. Thank you for your consideration. I’M ONLY AVAILABLE ON THE WEEKENDS; FRIDAY EVENINGS TO EARLY MONDAY MORNINGS. Due to my primary job, I’m only able to assist on the weekends. I will feed, pet, play, massage, brush, and interact with your pet as if it were my own. Pets deserve quality care for their unconditional love. A few things I adhere to is avoiding all dog parks. Canines may behave differently when their owners are away and I don’t want any pet to get injured. I prefer to stay on the owners property to keep everyone safe.

About: I have always had a deep love and respect for animals, particularly our furry companions. Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets, which helped shape my lifelong passion for animal care. Currently, I work as a Kennel Technician at a pet daycare, where I care for both dogs and cats on a daily basis. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR, ensuring I am prepared to respond to emergency situations with confidence and care. I am currently employed at a doggie daycare, with a rotating weekly schedule. My shifts typically fall between either 7:00 AM–3:30 PM or 12:00 PM–7:30 PM. Please feel free to reach out in advance, and I’ll be happy to provide my availability! I share my home with one dog and three cats, and since I live in an apartment without a fenced yard, I take my dog on multiple leashed walks each day. If your dog were to stay with us, they would enjoy regular walks in our grassy areas, as well as access to nearby walking trails just a short distance away. When caring for pets in their own home, I strongly believe in the importance of routines and consistency. I always follow specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Emma has taken care of my pups a good few times, I have 2 smaller dogs and I do have a lot of requests when they get taken care of as they have specific walk times, feeding times and multiple supplements they take. Emma was able to take great care of them, they got used to her super fast and she took time and effort to make sure they were comfortable. I also was getting updates often on how they were doing, I rarely let anyone take care of my dogs as I have a very specific way of doing things but Emma definitely made sure to do everything right for the comfort of my dogs as well as my own.”
