About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve provided in-home sitting, cared for friends’ pets, and have owned dogs my entire life. You can count on me for reliable, loving care—just like they’re my own. Hi! I’m currently on paternity leave from my full-time job, where I typically travel Monday through Thursday. With a bit more time at home right now, I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs. I’ve owned dogs all my life, have in-home pet sitting experience, and have helped friends care for their pets over the years. Your pup will be in safe, caring hands. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I’ve worked with dogs that require extra attention, including those with medical needs or those who don’t do well around other animals. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and keep your dog safe and happy while you’re away.

“Alisa is wonderful, she has patience and her work with my Bella is amazing she really helps and takes the steps to help her with her separation anxiety! Thank you we truly appreciate all your support and hard work you have been giving Bella and us.”


About: I currently have a 3 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I also live within walking distance of a bike trail to make sure your dog gets daily walks.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with the energy of a horse and horses with the personality of a dog! Whether your dog loves to run for miles or prefers a more relaxed pace, I’m equipped to meet their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I provide personalized care to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. You can count on me to give your four-legged friend the attention they deserve! As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend the day with your pup! Whether your dog needs a run to burn off energy or a leisurely walk, I’m happy to accommodate their preferences. I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of, no matter what their energy level is! When I care for your pet in your home, I prioritize their comfort, security, and routine. I will follow any specific instructions you’ve provided, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, ensuring that their environment remains consistent while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or simply being there for cuddles. I’ll also take care of basic tasks around the house like bringing in mail, adjusting lights, or making sure everything looks as it should, so you can feel confident knowing your pet and home are in good hands. Your pet will be treated with love and respect, just as I would with my own!


“Gay was awesome! We were staying in our RV at a local campground and wanted to do a day of sightseeing. Gay came to out RV twice, then nice to meet our pup and us, and then again to walk the dog while we were away. She was kind, helpful and obviously loves dogs! Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and just recently raised a puppy of my own. He is a very well trained dog, so I have some fresh tips and tricks if needed. I am confident I will take wonderful care of any dog- any size and any age! New to rover but not new to taking care of dogs! I’m currently taking a summer break- I recently finished up a residency and pharmacy degree, so I am looking forward to having some time off this summer. I have a few trips planned, but otherwise I will be home every day to be able to provide the best care for your pups. I have a securely fenced in yard along with a young pup who just turned 1 years old. He is very friendly and would love to have a friend to play with during the day. I also have a cat who mainly just sticks to himself during the day- please no dogs who are not safe around cats.

About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 37 years 🥰 I currently have a 3 year old cat, a 1 year old cat, and a 5 month old cat. Sadly I recently lost my almost 12 year old dog to old age. I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I have a flexible work schedule that will allow me to help during the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I work in a dog-friendly office so when I go into the office on Tuesday and Thursday I can bring your pup with me, if you're comfortable with that! Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and not displaced. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes once a day.

“Erin is the best dog walker we could have asked for! She is patient and kind! Our little Beau Beau is curious about every little thing and she took her time to let him sniff and check things out. Our German Shepherd Charlie is not sure of other dogs so Erin made sure to comfort Charlie when other dogs were present on the walk. She sent some awesome pictures too so that we knew just how much fun our pups had! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future for my dog walking needs!”

About: I have two goldendoodles in my family and love them dearly! I’m looking to fill some time on my summer break with some sweet pups. I have the summer off because I am a teacher.

I am a lifelong animal lover, and this is something that I truly enjoy doing. I have had pets my entire life from cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and even a baby lamb.
