“Morgan is great with Bailey. She is very reliable and I really appreciate her feedback from each service with pictures. I would highly recommend her!”


“Nichole is amazing!! We first did a meet and greet with her, and from the moment we met her, we knew she’d be a great fit! She’s super friendly, and her flexible schedule has been a blessing to us! Our dogs absolutely love her, and she takes great care of them while we’re gone. We feel like she is completely trustworthy, and can’t wait to have her care for our dogs next time!!”



“Darcy is wonderful! She is great with the dogs. Very sweet, communicative and thorough. I feel so good knowing she is taking care of our girls when we are at work!”


“Our dog blew her ACL two days before I had to leave to go away for two weeks. BJ was such an attentive superstar, caring for Coco like she was her own. She went way beyond in all the care and cuddles with Coco. A great communicator, knowledgeable, and just awesome. THANK YOU!!!”


“We’re so thankful to have Mackayla as our dog walker! She has been walking our mini Australian Shepherd, Maggie, since January 2025, and the bond they’ve built is truly special. Maggie is a sensitive girl, and Mackayla has been incredibly patient and intuitive with her from day one. Whether Maggie wants to walk a full mile, just half, or isn’t in the mood for a walk at all, Mackayla always meets her where she is. She’ll play with her in the yard or simply sit and offer gentle affection. She takes the time to read Maggie’s body language and always keeps us informed if something seems off. Maggie absolutely adores her—she gives her hugs, kisses, and greets her with happy squeals every time she arrives. As I recover from foot surgery, it’s such a relief to know that Maggie is in such good hands. Mackayla is also helping us work through Maggie’s separation anxiety by walking her while I’m home, building even more trust and independence. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Mackayla gives. She’s made a real difference in both Maggie’s life and ours.”


About: I care for lots of puppies, elderly dogs that need extra medical care, puppies that are potty training and also dogs that are extremely shy and not usually good with other dogs I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention! Very flexible job and also schedule to run in and out to go potty, on a walk or play. I will love on your babies with everything I have! I am reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

About: Hi! I'm Gabrielle, a passionate animal lover, proud dog mom to my 3 year old pup Yonah, and a full time elementary school teacher who's trading in tiny humans for furry companions this summer! Looking for someone to take your dog on walks, give them lots of love, and keep you updated with adorable photos while you're away? I’ve got you covered! We'll collaborate to make sure your pet has a tail-wagging good time while you’re gone! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since elementary school—also helping with fish, frogs, a bird, and a hamster, and eventually convincing my parents I was ready for a dog of my own. My sister and I lovingly cared for our family dog until she was 14, and now Yonah, my own "dog daughter," keeps me on my toes with her sweet, fun-loving spirit that matches mine perfectly. With five years of teaching under my belt, I bring a nurturing, patient, and dependable presence to every pet I care for. Whether your pup loves cuddles, outdoor adventures, or just someone to chill with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I live in a 2 bedroom townhome with a fenced in patio and access to beautiful walking trail. I also am near dog parks and around pet friendly businesses if you'd like your pet to be socialized. I'm currently a teacher on summer break, so I have flexibility when it comes to caring for your pup! I want to remain active during my break while also taking time to do the things I enjoy, like taking walks! With my own puppy, I take time after my workdays to take her for walks, playdates, or play time at the dog parks. Whether it's a short lap around the neighborhood or a long stroll through town, I can work with you to fit you and your dog's needs. I am very attentive and am sure to keep an eye out for your pet's safety and comfortability at all times, whether in home or on a walk. I also have a playful, 3 year old mini cockapoo that can keep your dog company on our walks or playdates (if requested).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I don’t just walk dogs- I turn every stroll into their favorite part of the day! I’m currently working full time during the week, so I am looking for something with flexible hours on weekends that allows me to make some extra money. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality—whether that means fetch in the backyard, a quiet snuggle on the couch, or just someone to keep them company. I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and engaged. I’ll send lots of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away without worry!

“Danielle is wonderful! Would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! I’m a traveling nurse with a mini Aussie who isn’t a fan of being cooped up all day so Danielle was a god send for Pi and I. She’s very adjusting to schedule and times and is always there when we need her no matter the day of the week. She treats Pi as her own and we cannot recommend her enough! Dependable, reliable, trustworthy, loving, caring, playful, and just all around amazing! We LOVE Danielle!”


“When your 11 yr. Old baby acts luke she is a puppy qhen she sees Cati I know she is in good hands This Girl is 👍Thank you Cati for all you do to make my baby happy your awesome”


About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. With reliable communication, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence, your pet will be treated like family. I am usually free everyday until around 3pm. Some weeks are different but I would love to communicate and find a way to fit your pet in. I create safe environments for pets by making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and respected at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and always supervise during play and feeding. I pay attention to their body language, give them space when needed, and keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and hazard-free. Whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a calm walk outdoors, I prioritize their comfort and well-being in every moment.

“Breanna was wonderful with my two pups! I reached out to a very last minute walk and she was super communicative, SO kind, and patient! 100% recommended!”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life and currently have two senior dogs of my own. I’m completely comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra care. I’ve done dog sitting here and there over the years, but I’m taking it more seriously this summer before I start college. I can handle everything from feeding and walking to playtime and following any specific routines your dog is used to. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and loved. Pet care fits well into my weekday routine, and I’m available for check-ins Monday through Friday. I’m not able to do weekends or overnights at this time. My schedule is most open between late June and mid-August, with some weekday flexibility depending on my summer camp job. I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated so you can easily see when I’m available. Pet care is a priority for me this summer, and I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your needs. I’m super flexible and always follow the dog’s usual routine or any special instructions from the owner. Whether caring in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping the pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated to make sure they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in middle school. I’ve also grown up with multiple dogs in my household my whole life. I know how to handle serious situations and how to properly take care of animals in difficult conditions. Im working a part time job this summer that allows me a ton of flexibility during the weekdays and also mostly free weekends to spend my time taking care of your pets! I have always taken care of pets in the owners home, my dog at home is not super friendly. That being said I know how to handle those moments! I often stay over night with pets and spend multiple hours of my day with them at the house. Since it’s been a hot summer I do early morning walks. I also love to play with your pets inside if that’s allowed and the space is available!

“Kyleigh is the best. She is flexible- our family appreciates because our schedules are crazy but she’s willing to make it work where she can. I trust her completely in my home and with my dog and cat. She is someone you can trust, count on, and will be exceptionally kind and loving with your pets. I would t hesitate to recommend Kyleigh.”

Kendall T.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Kendall – Exceptional Pet Sitter! I cannot recommend Kendall highly enough! She is hands down one of the most caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitters we’ve ever had. From the moment she arrived, she made an immediate connection with my dogs and other animals, treating them like her own. Throughout her stay, Kendall went above and beyond in every way: • Daily Walks & Playtime: She kept them on a consistent routine, making sure they got their exercise with morning and evening walks. She even threw in some fetch and tug-of-war in the yard—my dogs absolutely loved it. • Feeding & Medication: Kendall followed their feeding schedules perfectly, including special dietary needs and giving supplements with ease. I had zero concerns while I was away. • Grooming & Cleanliness: She brushed them daily (they were so soft when I got home!) and always kept their water bowls full and clean. The litter box and dog run were spotless—she’s truly detail-oriented. • Comfort & Companionship: Kendall made sure each animal had quality cuddle time. She sent me the sweetest photos of them snuggled up on the couch, belly rubs galore! • Emergency Preparedness: While we didn’t have an emergency, Kendall asked ahead of time for vet info and how to handle any health concerns. That alone gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my home was tidy, my animals were calm and happy, and it honestly felt like Kendall had left a little bit of love behind. Her passion for animals shines through in everything she does. If you’re lucky enough to book Kendall for your pet-sitting needs, rest assured—you’re in the best hands possible. Thank you, Kendall! You’re a gem.”

Rachel S.
“I’ve seen firsthand how great Rachel is with animals. She’s patient, dependable, and really pays attention to what each dog needs. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, sticking to their feeding schedule, or just spending time playing and keeping them company, she does it all with care. She’s helped with our dogs many times over the years, and I’ve always been impressed with how natural it is for her. I’d trust her with any dog.”
