About: Ive had a variety of pets in my life, including birds, fish and hamsters. I’ve never had a dog or cat of my own, but have always wanted one. I’ve dog-sat for friends and family consistently throughout my life, and have always had a special connection with dogs in particular. I hope to have a dog of my own one day. But until I can truly dedicate the time, space and finances to making sure they have the best life possible, I can find peace in playing with and taking care of any dog who might need my help. I work remotely full-time as a graphic designer, so as long as I have my laptop and Wi-Fi, traveling to a home is not a problem. It also will allow me to take many breaks to walk or play with your dog as much as they may need. I can only accommodate a smaller dog in my home, since I have other people in the house. When tending to a dog in a clients home, I can fit any preference they may have. Again, my only non-negotiable obligation is my full-time job, which is remote.

“Tanisa was amazing with my pups! She gave me updates all the time. She loved on my dogs the way I do and we are definitely going to use her again.”

“Stephanie is amazing! She watched our two dogs and cat at our home over the Christmas holiday. We were thrilled with the care that she provided our fur babies and the detailed and delightful updates she sent us. I was worried about leaving one of our dogs due to her separation anxiety issues, but Stephanie quickly developed a bond with her, as well as the other animals. We had peace of mind knowing that our pets/home were in great hands with lots of cuddles and playtime. We will definitely use Stephanie again for any out of town trip!”

“Nicholas is amazing! He put us at ease so we could enjoy our trip. His task was not easy! One dog prone to seizures and one dog has accidents! He was patient and kind and gave regular updates. He even fixed stuff around the house!”

About: I am kind, I have experience with pets of any age, I can control 4-5 pets at the same time, I quickly recognize danger and aggression, I adapt to the pet’s mood and temperament, I walk in any weather, I understand the signs of illness, I monitor bowel movements, I know that means vomiting, I control the pet’s ammunition, I don’t allow it to pick up scraps from the ground, licking, I control the time, reliable control and protection. I have a lot of free time, so I’m ready to give it to your pets’ pleasures, games, and walks at their pace according to their age. I am from Ukraine, from the city of Kyiv, I have a quick reaction, I know many animal diseases, I know how a pet behaves, and if something bothers him, I can warn the pet owner about it in time. I have two dogs and a cat, I found them on the street and saved them from hunger and cold, my husband is now in Ukraine in the city of Kyiv with our pets in our apartment, men are not allowed out of the country. I am an official rescue and care volunteer, and I am also looking for good families for rescued and found animals in my country, I have a volunteer registration certificate, and I have many years of experience in my country. I know how to walk pets and I know how to protect your pet from the aggression of other animals, and how not to lose it while walking. I walked with my pets exactly as many times as they asked me to, I am attentive to my pets, I protect them from danger, and I control the entire area while walking with them. If I see that a large pet is coming towards us and I don’t know him, I take my pets away so that a conflict does not occur. I am attentive to all pets.

“Dylan was amazing with our Dobermans Storm and Damen!!! He stayed with them in our home and not only was he great with them and they loved him. Thank you and we will definitely be reaching out to Dylan again!!!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Many years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. While many dogs are perfectly happy playing in the yard, I'm also happy to take dogs on walks upon request at no additional charge. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. I have been a foster mom to dogs, so if I'm caring for a puppy or a dog that isn't fully potty trained, I take extra precautions, including removing rugs and closely supervising indoor time to set everyone up for success. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I generally provide two walks per day, along with frequent opportunities to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I tailor activities to each dog's age, energy level, and preferences. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided as closely as possible. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.

“Mary took great care of my home and 16 year old cat while I was out of town. This was my first time using Rover and I was very impressed by Mary's prompt reply to my request and she completely put me ease during the meet and greet. My cat was very well taken care of and the house was just as it was when I had left it. I highly recommend Mary and I would absolutely hire her again in the future!”

About: Hi I’m Patrick! I love dogs and have been around them most of my life, I have three of my own named Bubba, Sassy and Neo who I walk every day. I will be very patient and kind with your pup as if they were my own and make sure they’re having as much fun as I’ll be having! I love all animals including cats but sadly I have family that is allergic so that is a no go but I would definitely consider myself a dog person anyway , no dog is too big or too small for me I’ll love em all the same. Id be ecstatic to add ur dogs to my daily routine:) Questions are welcome of course! My schedule is relatively flexible besides taking care of my own dogs. I am somewhat limited in means of transportation since I ride my bike to get around but that won’t stop me from meeting new dogs! If you do chose me to walk your dog we can discuss what would be best for picking them up for the walk and dropping them back off at your home. If your dog is crate trained I have no problem making sure they go into their crate before I leave.

“Emma took such great care of our Bertie girl! We got updates, pictures and videos during our vacation, and our doggy was so well taken care of while we were away. Thank you Emma!”

“Renee is thoughtful and thorough and easy to have stay in our home to watch our old nervous pittie. He has a high sense of stranger danger and she has been so patient and careful with him every time we use her. Highly recommend her.”

About: I was raised in a home with both dogs and cats all my life. I currently have 4 dogs and 4 cats all of different breeds and sizes who are all so loved. I’ve dealt with handling medication and special feeding schedules and instructions. I am very flexible and reliable. I am currently a full time pre nursing student whose schedule is subject to change. I also work PRN switchboard at advocate Lutheran hospital. My schedule is very open and flexible.

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.

“We had an amazing experience with Megan! She stayed at our house for a week with our two dogs and took incredible care of everything! She sent updates and it was easy to see how happy my dogs were with her. It was such a relief to trust that she had everything taken care of back home while I was out of town, I highly recommend her!”
