“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”


“Kathleen was amazing with our three pups. When first meeting with her, they took to her immediately, which is always a good sign. She checked in with us several times a day, with text messages, photos and videos. The pups looked very happy. Thank you so much Kathleen, we definitely be using your services again!”


“Meredith was great with my two pups! — 13-year-old German Shepherd who had emergency surgery the day prior and 10-week-old English Cream Retriever who is very high energy and not yet potty trained. Meredith watched my pups in my home while I was away at work. I was updated hourly with photos. She was a pro at taking care of my puppy and followed my instructions to the tee. She even gave my senior pup her pain medication when she seemed uncomfortable. Both my pups were very happy when I returned. I will definitely be using Meredith again in the future!”


About: I have had dogs and cats growing up my entire life and have a ton of experience with both animals. I absolutely love playing with dogs, learning their personalities and snuggling with them as well. starting in the fall, I will be student teaching full-time, but will have evenings and early mornings available. Weekends are also free! It just depends on what week. I cannot right now care for animals in my home as I am living with my parents. While staying in your home, I will make sure your pet is always fed. Walked and played with and safe.

“Paige was fantastic! We have a Jack Russell mix who has a lot of energy and needs to go out and walk and play a lot! Also, because of a health condition, requires a bit more care and has to be very regimented. Paige took care of everything! I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worry or hesitation that my girl would be cared for like she was Paige’s own! Bonus — She sent me pics everyday! Paige will be my go to and I would recommend her to any and everyone!”


About: I bring high-energy, all-terrain enthusiasm to every pet I care for! Whether I’m biking, swimming, running, walking, rollerblading, or scootering, I stay active so your dog can too. I’ve worked with pups of all ages—from playful puppies to mellow seniors—and tailor each walk or visit to fit their pace and personality. Pets aren’t just cared for, they’re engaged and uplifted. Let’s turn walk time into mission time! I work from home full-time, which means I’m always nearby and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I schedule walks, playtime, and snuggles around my work. I treat every pet like family—whether they're with me or I'm visiting their home. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs for social play. I follow any special instructions you provide and can crate your pup if needed. Clean spaces, constant supervision, and a whole lot of love ensure your pet’s comfort and security.

About: I have been working part time at the vets office for two years, taking care of boarded animals. I see a large variety of pets weekly, as I am a kennel attendant. I meet dogs and cats of all ages and breeds all the time. I have always had a special connection with animals. I stopped eating meat when I was six years old because I learned the chickens on the farm were what chicken nuggets are made of. I’ve grown up helping out at farms, as I’ve always had a drive to help animals to the best of my ability. I’ve been watching pets for the past three years and I have never met a dog that didn’t end up liking me by the end of the day! My entire life is based around animals, as I have my own pets and I’m a full-time pet sitter. I truly spend more time with pets than people, and I enjoy it. I take great pride in caring for pets, whether in my own home or others'. I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, providing them with personalized attention and care. From maintaining their routines to offering plenty of playtime and cuddles, I make sure their environment is stress-free and enjoyable. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring they have all the comforts they need, I treat each pet as if they were my own, always striving to exceed expectations! I do not take any dogs with even the slightest aggression towards other animals into my home.

About: I have periodically taken care of pets all of my life. A roommate of mine had a lab, Lola, and we lived together for 3 years. I knew her from when she was a puppy. I also have other friends now who have dogs and I often care for them. My partner's family also has a scottie, and my relatives have both doodles and labs that I take care of often. I just left my corporate job and am taking some time off while I study for both my school teaching and pilates teaching certification exams. I mostly have an open schedule. Happy to follow whatever environment you wish for your pet. I am careful about closing doors slowly/not opening them all the way/not leaving them open to ensure security.

“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for Meloni the month I was away. She was kind, considerate, and made sure to update me when anything seemed slightly amiss with him. Highly recommend.”


About: I have owned dogs for my entire life, and have experience training puppies and caring for elderly dogs. I have also babysat or made house visits for other dogs frequently. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I would be able to do morning house visits or walks (ending at 11am) on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I will be available any time on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, granted I have a weeks notice. I am willing to adapt to any caretaking rules you may have in place for your dog at your own home (i.e. the rooms they are allowed in, outside time, etc). I can stay with the dog for as long as you need me to as long as there is communication.

About: I spent the past spring caring for a sweet German shepherd named Lyla. I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was very young. I also grew up a dog sitting for my neighbors and the families I babysat for. I encountered many breeds and many sizes of dogs with various energy levels. I continue to dog sit at school for friends on sports teams, who have to travel for the weekend. I used to volunteer at the Nashville Humane Association for a few hours a week while I was at college. Here I got exposure to all different kinds of breeds of cats and dogs. I really enjoy working with and being around animals. As my life is too uncertain to get a pet of my own, I will take any opportunity to spend some time with animals and others’ pets! I just graduated from Vanderbilt and am working on island for the summer. I can be available all weekdays as well as weekends however my main job schedules varies so just ask! I have over 10 years of experience around dogs and working professionally with different animals. I am very aware of dog safety, and also dog body language and warning signs. And I know how to be very stern and get loving with animals and keep them under control.


About: Happy Paws Dog Care will give your friend a pawsitively wonderful tail-wagging experience. Whether your buddy is a couch potato or very active, we can develop a program that will put a smile on their face and a wag in their tail. I have 55-years experience taking care of cats and dogs. Our 2,000 square ft ranch with fenced in backyard is located in a quiet sea coast community two tenths of a mile from the water and open fields. I have high energy, really enjoy taking dogs on long walks along the beach, wooded areas and residential communities.

“Daniel did an awesome job caring for Lucy and Captain while staying at our house for an extra long weekend. We would absolutely recommend him! It was a pleasure to return home to two happy pups.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and been around them my whole life. I also have experience with cats as well. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I would love to provide care for your pets! I work full-time but I generally have two days off on my schedule. I can also visit your pets before and after work and stay overnight! I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. If I’m caring for pets in the client’s home, I treat their space with respect and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to minimize stress. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, so they feel loved and secure while their owners are away.

About: *Martha’s Vineyard Only* I have had pets of all kinds for as far back as I can remember. I currently have a very loving, sweet, energetic and playful dog of my own, Lola. She is 10 years old and enjoys playing with new friends! I am knowledgable and caring and will provide your dog with lots of love and care! I am comfortable caring for dogs of any size and breed as well as administering medication (oral, injections, eye and ear drops and topicals). I currently work part time from home so I am flexible and available throughout the day to tend to and care for pets in my care I have a fenced in yard, but don’t leave dogs unattended in the yard. I have a dog of my own to provide your dog with companionship and a playmate while they stay with us! A crate is not required but I’m happy to set yours up if it makes your dog comfortable. I can provide care for potty trained dogs, though I am comfortable with and have experience with senior dogs who require diapers.

Alexandru G.
“Alex is someone whom I would recommend to watch or care for their pet without a second thought. He is fantastic around all types of animals, especially dogs and cats, and has been a pet owner for many decades. Alex has rescued multiple pets which is a testament to his deep, authentic, and genuine love for and care for animals. He is extremely respectful, responsible, reliable, and has the highest ethical integrity and character of any pet sitter I have ever worked with. He always shows up on time, asks thoughtful questions, is honest, trustworthy, and I have never had a single concern or problem working with him. He is also just a fantastic, great, and down-to-earth guy. If you are looking for a pet sitter who understands and takes the job seriously, and has experience and a natural inclination towards working with animals, look no further. I have had multiple 10/10 experiences with him, and actively recommend him to all my friends and family. And I have met his pets, and it is clear they are extremely happy well taken care for. Your pet is in excellent hands with Alex.”
