About: Lifelong dog lover and proud owner of two Goldendoodles, April and Kobe. I understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, and genuine care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or companionship, I provide a safe, dependable, and loving experience that keeps dogs happy and gives owners peace of mind. Your pup will be treated like family every step of the way. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe, active, and well looked after. As a dog owner myself, I provide attentive, structured care with feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort, treating each pet like my own in a safe, calm environment.
“Although we’ve only had one visit so far, I can already tell Winston loves playing with Natalie! He was sleeping hard the moment after she left. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Carol was absolutely amazing! I have a very anxious/reactive dog and we rarely get to go on any vacations because of this. Carol made time for us, even though she was just getting over being sick to come meet with my dog Gio prior to our trip and was extremely kind and understanding with him. She let him warm up to her, and with every visit he got more and more comfortable. Carol gave us detailed reports everyday with many pictures of Gio and it gave so much peace of mind to me and my family. She made sure our fur baby was taken care of and got the one on one time he needed. I could not recommend her more! Thank you Carol!!!”
“So grateful that we were able to find Caroline last minute! She was attentive and did a great job of taking care of our cat. We appreciate the pictures that Caroline sent and are looking forward to having her over again!”
“Adelle took amazing care of our two cats for two weeks. They were clearly very comfortable with her, and we loved receiving detailed updates and photos after each visit. We’d be very happy to book her again for future trips!”
“Kathleen was great! Her attention to detail and regular feedback put us at ease, especially since it was our first time using Rover. 10/10 would recommend Kathleen for your furry fam :)”
About: I have two years of experience looking after dogs and cats. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to board and provide walks for pets. I currently work part time and am able to provide walks or board animals 7 days a week. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I live in a spacious apartment with a nice park across the street to go for walks. I am also very respectful of other peoples spaces.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and caring for animals gives me the ability to get more in touch with myself and my environment! Currently, I am working seasonally and part time so I have plenty of time for animals of all nature! I adjust fast and am eager to care for your pet's needs. My living space is a closed environment with many open windows and natural light. I have a back patio where I let my cats roam on a lease when they feel outdoorsy! I go on frequent walks and have many toys to keep both the pups and kittens entertained.
About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.
“Niusha looked after our cat while we were away for the holiday and we were very happy to see the many photos and videos that she shared of our kitty - he was clearly very well loved and taken care of!”

We are so thrilled to have discovered Carol! She is knowledgeable, caring, and was so great with our dog. We'd only had our dog Josie for 1.5 months and it was our first time away since adopting her. Carol came for drop ins and went above and beyond to make sure that Josie felt comfortable throughout the trip. She kept us updated with photos and details and gave us such peace of mind while being away. We can't wait to book Carol again!
Alyssa took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for a work trip. She was very kind and understanding about my nerves of being away and leaving them but she was able to ease my worries with all of her detailed updates and many pictures of my pets. Thank you so much Alyssa!
Michelle was amazing with my two Frenchies! She took the time to learn their personalities and quirks and gave them doting attention when she visited. She also provided a lot of video and photo content, which I greatly appreciated while I was away. I could tell they were so happy with her!
Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!
Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾
Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!
