“So helpful. My dog was uncooperative yet Kathryn still did all she could to follow through with her service to the best of her ability. Very honest and communicative. I just feel bad my pup gave her a hard time.”


“We booked Patrick to come for our advanced aged dog who had special food and medicine needs. He was wonderful and patient with her as she can be a cranky old lady 😄. He was prompt, stayed in contact with us and sent messages and photos of each visit. He even gave our kitty attention which is no easy task because he is a hard one to pet 😄😄 If you are looking for a responsible pet sitter, Patrick is your guy 👍🏻”


“Matt was great, he stayed in constant contact and sent pictures of every visit while he was watching our dog Rocco. He even brought in packages and cleaned up after Rocco.”



“Lynn was so wonderful with my puppy. She would come over and play with her and take her out for longer than what was required. She really goes above and beyond and treats your dog like her own.”


“Laura was great with our two cats and anxious dog! She very kindly came for a visit ahead of time to meet our pets and familiarize herself with their care needs. We will definitely reach out to Laura again for pet sitting 👍🏽”


About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover offering personalized walks right here in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I treat every dog like my own. I’m experienced with everything from high energy puppies who need a bit of leash training to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and always put safety first on every walk. Pet care is my main focus right now, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine! ( I’m on summer break as I work as a special needs aide) so I’ve set aside this time specifically to care for pets in my community, which means I’m flexible, dependable, and fully present for each walk or visit. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I currently care for pets in my apartment/ clients’ homes. I do prefer to care for pets in clients homes as I want to ensure each pet has the space and comfort they’re used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their regular routine; feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I always keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own.

“As a first time user of the app, I was a bit anxious but Gabrielle helped so much by sending updates everyday as we were away on vacation. She was on time and consistent. Will rebook again in the future!”


“katy was so great with our two dogs. she had great communication and notes with photos so we knew what they were up to during the check-ins. she's very sweet and i can tell she really cares for the animals she cares for!”


“Taylor made me feel at ease while I was away from home and my pooch. She communicated every thing I needed to know about my little old lady during her visits. I will recommend Rover, and Taylor ! Thank you all !!”



About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: My wife and I have had dogs for over 25 years, we would love the chance to take in your pup while you're away. Be careful they might come home spoiled. I am able to give injections if needed, have experience with senior dogs. I am retired and able to take care of your dog 24/7. My wife is home by early afternoon and home on weekends, to also help with your dog's needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and a dog of my own for your pup to play with, he's about 50lbs. and loves to play ball.

About: Because of my living situation, I can’t have a dog of my own, so I’d love to take care of yours! Available for walks, let outs, house sitting, anything! I have a cat if my own, so I’m very comfortable taking care of kittys too! I’ve pet sat for friends and family before and can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep your pets happy and healthy! And will communicate with you as much or as little as you’d like! I know it’s stressful leaving your pets, so I’ll do what I can to make things as stress free as possible!

About: I’ve taken care of sunconures, cockatiels, dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles ever since I can remember. My dog is a senior at the end of her life so I have experience with that as well Every month 1-15 I work in office and 16 to 31 every month I work from home. Willing to care for pets during any time in my home I have a basement set up incase the pets need to be kept seperate. If I’m going to your home I’m trust worthy and will not tamper with anything.

About: I have taken pets of family and friends, both dogs and cats. I am very attentive to their body language and try my best to respect their boundaries. I’ve taken care of cats most of my life, assisting my grandma with her cats over the years has given me valuable experience with both senior cats and small kittens. I am currently only available Fridays and weekends, on Friday's from 5pm to 8pm and on the weekends I am available from 2pm to 8pm. For pet walking I can assure it’ll be the safest route possible for your pet! No Unnecessary distractions. For drop in visits I will ensure no doors are left unlocked or open, your pets needs will be met!

About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.

About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.

About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

“Colleen did an Excellent and detail attention to my cats, timing, activities with them, and duration of each visit exceeds my expectations! I will definitely look for her next time.”
