I found Zoey to be an honest, dependable and trustworthy person. She sent me pictures of my pet and updated me each day she came over. She alerted me to a concern she had. I highly recommend her and would definitely request her again.

Paige did a great job! I am very thankful she brought her dog so Sugar could have a little playtime while I was away. I will certainly consider re-booking her again if my regular dog-sitter is unavailable. Thanks Paige!

This is the 3rd time I have had Denis and Nikki watch our pets and if they are available, we would never consider anybody else. They take great care in what they do and it shows. They not only take excellent care of our animals but they make sure the house is ok also, taking out and back garbage, bringing in packages on the doorstep and mail, etc. They are excellent and our family would highly recommend.

Brian is easy to work with and very professional. Glad we found him. Or little poodle mix doesn’t warm up easily to men but she is jumping when she she’s Jim.

Our Dog took to Scott almost instantaneously! Which is very unusual as he is typically very timid and shy at first. Scott did a great job following instructions and had a great walk with little Carl! I would highly recommend Scott and we definitely will be using him again in the future!

About: Hi! I’ve had pets my entire life from having cats to dogs to even ferrets and hamsters and turtles, I love all animals! I was given my first pet to take care of myself when I was 6 years old and even though she was just a small ferret I found the responsibility fun and fulfilling even at a young age. I lost my dog last year so being around dogs in anyway has been such a blessing and a privilege, I miss being around mine. Caring for animals gives me a purpose I work 35 hours a week but 2 times a week from home. Since I don’t start super early or end super late I find myself finding time in the mornings and evenings available as well as weekends. Since I have dealt with so many types of animals I understand that each and every fur baby has their own unique personality and it is my job to adjust and accompany to it all while fulfilling owners requests

About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 8 years and truly love spending time with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m very active, patient, and dependable, so whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your senior pet needs a calmer, gentler approach, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand how important pets are to families, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, especially afternoons and evenings. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are doing well. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets is very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely so pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar space. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate training, and any special needs or behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

About: Hi there! I'm Dana, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rats and other exotic animals. I currently have two cats and an axolotl myself, and throughout my life I've helped care for everything from energetic puppies and independent cats, to birds, aquatic critters, and other unique companions. I believe every animal is different and deserves patient, individualized care. One of the most important lessons I've learned over the years is that trust takes time, and building a positive relationship with a pet starts with kindness, consistency, and understanding their unique personality. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and cautious, I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship while you're away, my goal is to ensure your pets are happy, comfortable, well cared for, and that you have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm committed to providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Unfortunately, Rover does not allow me to show my specific availability. I currently work full-time, so for dog walking and check-ins my availability will be: Monday: 5am-6am and 6:30pm-8pm Tuesday-Friday: 5am-6am and 4pm-8pm Saturday: 5am-6am and 10am-9pm Sunday: 5am-8pm I care for every pet as if they were my own and work to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. Whether you have cats, dogs, fish, birds, or other small and exotic pets, I'll follow your care instructions carefully and make sure their individual needs are met. For dogs, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I'll provide fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and affection based on their comfort level. I'm also happy to care for fish, birds, reptiles, and other pets by maintaining their feeding schedules, cleaning habitats as needed, and monitoring their overall well-being. I'm comfortable administering medications when required and will keep a close eye on your pet's health and behavior. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also treat your home with respect and leave it clean, tidy, and secure.
