“This was our first time with Lauren. I appreciated her thorough report and the time she spent with my dog. My dog can be shy with strangers but seemed to take to her right away. Very pleased with her care.”


“Billy was an exceptional sitter from start to finish! He was incredibly responsible and communicative throughout the entire process, which made me feel completely at ease. I really appreciated how respectful he was of my time when he came to meet my dog for the first time—he was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. My dog took to him right away, and it was obvious Billy has a natural connection with pets. He kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”


“Thank you so much for taking care of Bruce in a pinch! Good communicator and was able to figure out how to take care of my dog with little heads up. Thank you! Would recommend to others.”


“Erin responded to me for my last minute needs. I have two dogs one with special needs. She handled them so well. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism. Will use again”


“Bonnie was great with our two black cats! She could even tell them apart! Made sure they ate, had some play time, and some cuddles during her drop ins. Lots of pics and notes about each visit. Highly recommend!”


“Kaylee was nice enough to accept our last min request to watch our dog Sully over Memorial Day weekend. She was punctual and would send us updates on Sully everyday. She was great with him considering he’s newly adopted and still quite shy. We will hopefully reach out to her again in the future!”


About: I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for two dogs—first a Doberman, and later a toy poodle—giving me firsthand experience with both large and small breeds. I also have experience working with children, and I believe the patience and attentiveness required for both roles strongly complement each other. In addition, I live an active lifestyle, so dog walking is not only something I enjoy—it’s a perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk or a more gentle stroll, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I’m reliable, observant, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time at Amazon, where I’m constantly on the move walking and running to deliver packages—so staying active is part of my daily routine. I work weekends and start in the afternoons, which means my mornings and days off (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) are ideal for weekday walks or drop-ins, especially for busy pet parents needing reliable care during the day. I currently live in an apartment, so at the moment I’m offering dog walking only. However, I’m excited to expand my services in the future as my space and schedule allow. My goal is to build trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing reliable, active care.

“Mikayla was awesome! She is professional and you can feel secure knowing that your animals are well taken care of! She is also very responsive and detailed. She will take great care of your pets!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover and animal-obsessed human for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From training a playful puppy to gently caring for senior dogs with complex health needs, I’ve handled it all with patience, love, and lots of treats. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the way I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive to details, comfortable administering medications, and quick to pick up on behavior cues. Whether it’s energetic walks, snuggly downtime, or special care routines, your pup will be in safe, loving hands with me. Pet care fits perfectly into my life because I’m a total homebody and love having furry company around! I work a hybrid job with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home often during the week and completely free on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being around for comfort and companionship, I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a fenced-in yard area that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, plus plenty of walking trails nearby for fun, scenic adventures. My space is cozy and pet-friendly with lots of toys, blankets, and extra supplies on hand, including crates if needed. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s sticking to their regular feeding and potty schedule, giving medication, or just providing extra snuggles. I also love making homemade dog treats (with owner approval, of course!) as a fun, healthy bonus. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease.


About: I have been a dog owner/carer since I was young, and as an adult I have owned many dogs. My dogs are like my children and I have only ever used Rover for their care, which is why I know I would make a great sitter. I am retired, live an active lifestyle and have a pup who will be 2 in June 2025. We walk at least twice a day and hit the dog park for extra exercise. I am retired and can make anything work, including early morning dropoffs, late night pickups, plenty of potty breaks and walks. Also any number of drop ins to your home. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a decent front and side yard. The local walking path and park is just a block away. I can offer one portable crate if needed. My own pet stays in a crate at night and when I am away. I have a gate to the stairs and she is not upstairs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From birds to cats and dogs. Growing up we used to breed shepherds and had a little maltipoo around the house. I like structure and schedule but I will love your animal like they’re my own so I can form to the schedule they need! I do have 2 toddlers, they have very well dog trained since we do have a dog ourselves but we do request all pets are kid friendly. I work full time partially from home. I am able to take the dog out whenever needed, and I do have a dog park near me! I am able to do middle of the night let outs in needed as well! I am a worry bug so I will always make sure your animal is okay! I will give them all the love I can and make sure they have food, water and lots of time outside!

About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained

About: I have been a dog owner for over 50 years and understand first hand the importance and peace -of -mind that comes from having a trusted provider care for my pet when I am working or on vacation. I am an active senior and love having a dog to walk and for just plain old companionship. I have a Havanese/Shih Tzu (23 pounds) who is very sweet and good with other dogs. He likes to play and is even willing to share his bed with visiting dogs. Since I am retired I have a flexible schedule and live near a large city lake with a walking path. And if your dog has special needs I am certainly able and willing to accommodate. Please feel free to contact me with specific questions or concerns.

About: I trained my own dog, chesapeake bay retriever, and we have not had any complaints on his behavior. I also take care of friends animals while they are away. I’m working part time and available almost always! i enjoy working out so the crazy animals don’t bother me at all! any time spent with animals is well spent. I tend to follow the guidelines owners have. The way you treat your fur baby is the way I also will. Routine is an important piece for animals.
