“Kirsten took care of my senior Lab, Angel while I was away. At first I didn’t know how Angel would like it but I know now that Kirsten was much needed to keep her company. I scheduled 3 visits per day I was gone and Kirsten went above and beyond taking good care of my dog Angel.”


“Cannot rave over JoVonna enough 🤍 so thankful for her bright spirit and love for our doggos! She helped us out in a pinch and is such a wonderful addition to our care team.”


About: Due to my active and flexible lifestyle, I am very capable of walking a wide range of dogs from small to large and lazy to hyper. My Australian Shepherd (Covid puppy) does a great job of reminding me to take her on 2-3 walks a day, give her special cuddles and tug on her rope daily. She’s a very smart and trained girl, but just like me, she needs exercise or she’ll get the zoomies! I currently work from home and have good breaks throughout the day, as well as, a flexible schedule giving me the ability to leave my desk and go for a walk or check in on a pup or cat. In my experience walking and taking care of other pets, I’ve been very communicative with what the owner requests. For example, I’ve had opportunities where I’ve had to be very careful about opening the front door because the dog may run out of the house. I’ve also been in positions where I double and triple check if the dog I’m walking is in their harness/leash correctly because they are masterminds when it comes to escaping. If the client is specific with their pet’s needs, I try my best to follow their directions to a tee.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. Growing up, I had a dog who I personally trained to sit, stay, come, lay down, roll over, and even sit pretty! That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust with animals. I’ve also helped family members care for their pets, including feeding, walking, and giving lots of love and attention. While I’m newer to professional pet care, I’m dependable, calm, and deeply attentive to each pet’s unique needs—and I’m excited to build lasting bonds with the animals I care for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being active, so I’m available for walks, visits, and overnight care. I prioritize a calm, secure, and clean environment in my home where dogs feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s specific routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. I never leave pets unattended outside and always monitor their comfort and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the utmost respect. I carefully follow instructions, maintain cleanliness, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Building trust—with both pets and their people—is always my top priority.

About: From rescuing a three-legged friend to hosting large scale dog park events, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and abilities! I am passionate about animals getting exercise and engaging play time. ** I work second shift so I am available through the week when most people are at work! I am free most mornings until 1pm everyday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I do not work so I have more flexibility on those days I treat pets as an extension of myself! I like to have ample space that is cozy as well as activities to keep myself entertained and happy, I believe every pet is entitled to these same privileges. I cater to individual needs of pets, prioritizing the voice of the owner!

About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of tons of furry (and scaly) friends over the years. It warms my heart to provide all that I can for any pet. I have my own babies at home, as well as taking care of friends’ and families’ as well. I would be happy to offer that same care to any pet. Pets are incredibly special and important to me. I take great pride in committing deeply to assuring their safety and care while under my supervision.

About: I am a very neat, friendly, organized, caring, and punctual person who will take excellent care of your dog(s) during their time with me, giving them plenty of cuddles, love, exercise and attention or whatever else they may need! I look forward to meeting your dogs during a meet and greet to make sure it’s an excellent fit and then helping you out with whatever your dog care needs may be! I am also definitely more of a moderate-low energy dog person. Just let me know what I can do to be of assistance to you. Thank you for your consideration! A meet and greet is required. Please check my calendar for my available dates before sending a request! *I only take one client’s dog(s) at a time I did take a multi year break from Rover hence why the last review was several years ago. I can work from home when your dog is with me or bring your dog to work with me so I’ll be around to tend to your dog’s needs such as feeding schedules and regular walks as well as some playtime. However, I do request that your dog is a moderate - low energy dog as I do not have the time for highly active/energetic dogs. I will follow all instructions provided for drop in or dog walk visits (only services offered at this time) and maintain supervision at all times during any fenced yard play and during dog walks.

About: Absolutely obsessed with all fur babies! I have two playful French Bulldogs, Alfredo and Maple, so I’m well-versed in picky eaters, stroller rides, medication administration, slobbery kisses, and snuggly (sometimes stinky) cuddles. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to give your pet the care they deserve. My community is fully walkable with sidewalks, dog parks, plenty of great sniff spots, and more! My home does have stairs so if your love bug needs special mobility accommodations, let me know! *SITTING* I do NOT offer overnight pet sitting. I will happily provide multiple check ins throughout the day, including late nights and early mornings! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention. My own dogs have set meal times, potty breaks, and play sessions, which makes it easy to incorporate other pets into our schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or medication administration, I make sure every pet gets the individualized care they need. In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, plenty of snuggles, and a routine that includes regular meals, potty breaks, and exercise. My own dogs are friendly and playful, but I can also accommodate dogs who prefer their own space. Crate-trained dogs are welcome to bring their crate for a familiar, comfortable sleeping arrangement. Please note that my bedroom is on the second floor so if your furry buddy likes to have overnight cuddles, the use of stairs or being properly carried is required. For in-home pet care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether that means sticking to their usual schedule or giving extra cuddles while their family is away. For sitting I will not provide overnight care, but will ensure a late night and early morning potty break.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because animals are something I truly love. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow any instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life—you always make time for what you love, and for me, that’s pets. Adding yours in is no problem. While caring for your pet in your home, I’m always open to any instructions you’d like to share. I want to make sure your fur baby feels safe and loved—and that you feel confident and comfortable while we’re apart.

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I have taken care of multiple breeds in the last 8 years! My daughter’s energetic greyhound mix lived with me for 2 years while they built their home. I go over for drop ins several days a week. I also take care of a chocolate lab for a family member several days a week and he definitely keeps me on my toes! I’m currently working part time taking care of my grandkids, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your love ones! Please don’t be shy to reach out, I love all shapes and sizes of doggies! I live on 2 acres of land with plenty of area for puppies to run and play! I am comfortable with walking, playing, feeding and crating your babies anytime you need it.

“Caroline came right on time, such a nice girl and did such a great job! She followed some of the directions I had left for walking my yellow Labrador and would highly recommend her!”


About: I have taken care of big animals from horses to large dogs for years. Potty training assistance for puppies or if you have a Senior with extra needs no problem I've dealt with both so know sometimes, they just need some extra care and assistance. I currently am retired so spend much of the day at home. So your pet will have plenty of attention while you are at work for drop-in daycare or for boarding. Currently I have an 10 month-old puppy that was crate trained. She pretty much goes with me most places I go. I do keep animals crated separately if there are other pets in our home if I have to step out. I know each pet parent has their own style, so I am open to whatever you prefer for your pet. I do stay home mostly during the day and take my puppy out several times a day for playtime in the backyard or sometimes we walk around my neighborhood. I know most pets have a routine that they like so I do like to try and stick to that if they have one. My home is quite and calm during the day unless it's playtime outside. I recently had to put down my 13-year-old heeler which she always did better in a home versus kennel environment when we were away. So, I try to make sure that those that I am caring for feel safe and try to keep them engaged and happy while their parents are not home. I have worked in training kennels and horse stables so used to being around many different animal personalities.

“Emily was so amazing! This was our first experience with a dog sitter and we couldn’t have found a better person for it. Emily was patient with Murphy and he seemed to look forward to her visit each day. She was always on time and went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone, we will definitely book with her again!”


“At the last minute I realized that everyone in our household would be working the full day away from home and our pup Joey would need someone to come take him out midday. I reached out to Maddie and she was able to accommodate, even with short notice. She was able to confirm and came and took Joey for a walk in the early afternoon. She gave a detailed summary of her time with Joey as well. I appreciate Maddie for the willingness to help on short notice and the care she gives Joey!”
