“Nicole was amazing with my dog snowy. She always comes on time, communicates with me about snow’s walk and feeding and is super professional and helpful. She accepted a late notice booking which was a big help when I’m not home to walk my dog myself!”

“Amazing thank you so so much! First time using rover so was a little nervous but they did an awesome job with communication and sending pics to let me know my Cody was doing well on his walks :) 10/10 would use again. Thank you!!”

“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”

“Aaron is great. He truly cares about animals and their well being. I trust him to come in my home and care for my dog. He understands Sarge's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a dog walker. He always responds immediately when booking, is punctual and keeps me informed.”

“Chris is the absolute best!! He has walked Baxter so many times and taken care of him overnight at our house. I always know Baxter is in great hands, in the photos he sends Baxter is literally being his happiest self! I would highly recommend Chris for both walks and overnight stays! 💕”

“Stefanie was great with our little pup! He absolutely adored his walks and is looking forward to his next time with Stefanie! She was always prompt and sent us updates that we always laughed at!”

“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter offering dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets for friends and family, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and independent. I’m attentive, communicative, and easy to reach, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I’m consistent, reliable, and make sure to show up on time and fully focused on each visit. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s needs. To keep your pet comfortable and stress-free, I care for them in their own home so they stay in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care needs. *For dog walking*, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and adapted to your dog’s energy level. I stay attentive at all times, give them space when needed, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being.
“Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”

About: Since I was ~12, my neighbors would always bring their dogs for me to watch/walk while they were on vacation. More recently, I have also walked friends and neighbors dogs while they are at work (I work remote). I work remote in a flexible job, so I’m able to give lots of attention to your dog. I can walk them 4+ times per day depending on your needs, I live right near grass if they only want to go out to pee, and I am a 1 min walk from a small dog park if they love to run off leash. I live in an apartment with my own dog, so I always make sure everything is pet friendly - no harmful cleaning chemicals, air filters, only dog treats. I even have a reverse osmosis water filter to give your doggo luxury water :)
About: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my childhood dog was such an important part of my family, and ever since her passing, I’ve always felt a piece missing. While living in Florida, I began helping my mom at a local animal shelter by walking the dogs, and that experience only deepened my love and passion for caring for them. Since I work a full-time job, my availability during the week is somewhat limited. However, I am available for local dog walks in the mornings before work and again after work. I also have a very flexible schedule on weekends and am more than willing to work with you to find times that best fit your schedule. I am more than happy to meet your dog ahead of time before walking them just so they get a sense of my behavior and I can get an understanding of theirs. Sidenote: I do live in an apartment and due to my lease, I am unable to have them in my home.
“Luke is wonderful - always arrives right on time and is enthusiastic. The dogs can’t want for his arrival each day! The dogs wait eagerly by the door and are exhausted when they come home.”
“Stephanie is an outstanding care taker for our baby Phoebe. She goes above and beyond to make sure our anxious pup feels comfortable and safe. She pays very close attention to detail and takes care of Phoebe as if she were her own. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I am a life long lover of all animals and am looking to share my time and dog love with others! I have experience caring for and living with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, so I understand how unique each one can be in their personality and needs. I work full time, but my hybrid schedule allows for flexibility to be available at most hours on my home days, in addition to the general early morning and later afternoon availability. On fridays and the weekend, I have open availability all hours. I always prefer to allow you as the owner the opportunity to share as much as you can about your pet’s unique personality and quirks, to ensure I can adjust my approach with them accordingly.
