She fed my pup , 🐶 played in the backyard to allow my pup to get exercise and rewarded Noelle with a treat . She followed feeding instructions and maintained the cleanliness of the home .”

About: From tiny chihuahuas to great pyrenees mixes, puppies to seniors, I’ve cared for dogs across all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Some need playtime and belly rubs, others need special diets or a gentle routine. I’ve worked with both healthy dogs and those with mild medical needs, and I always adapt to meet their individual pace and comfort. My experience with pets spans years through volunteering, helping friends and family, and raising my own sweet girl Opal, who has since passed. Since then, caring for other people’s pets (and fostering a few) has become a way to keep that love present in my life. I work a regular 8–5 job, but I’m available most weekends and can often make weekday visits work with a little notice. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a cozy overnight sitter, I’ll show up with kindness, patience, and care. Availability • Weekends: Fully available • Weekdays: 4am- 7am and 6pm-10pm If alternative hours are needed, please feel free to share and I will do my best to adjust! I create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention while maintaining a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise.

“Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M”

About: I have always wanted to be able to be around animals and help others with their own pets, over the years I’ve learned different ways of caring for different animals, and different and new tricks to help animals learn new skills and live a happy and comfortable life! I enjoy being able to meet new breeds and ages of dogs, and I also enjoy finding new ways to work with them just as much! With Rover I hope to give out a helping hand to someone who wants to give the most to their pet but might not have all the time in the world to, because I would want someone to offer the same help to me if I was in need of it! This summer I am focusing all of my time into pet care so my schedule revolves completely around my pet sitting schedule ! I am able to work a full time schedule to accommodate the needs of my clients ! I personally believe the quote “treat people the way you want to be treated” can be used when it comes to pet care as well. I believe in treating all animals as if they were my own and I make sure to treat any animal in my care with the utmost respect and love ! I will make sure that all needs are met, even if it requires tasks that some people might call “tedious “ . No level of care is too much for our furry family members !

About: Hi!! I’m Sophie! I’ve had plenty of experience with animals including livestock! From cleaning out horses pens to feeding chicken, pigs, and turkeys! You name it! I’ve also been on the receiving end of that, which would be getting bucked off horses to chased my roosters😂. Unfortunately I have had experience with breaking up dog fights. I am in love with animals! I treat every single one like my own. My goal is to not only provide u with good service, but to make sure your baby is well taken care of and LOVED!! I also understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet with a stranger.If I can help you with providing ease to your mind than I’ve accomplished my job! I am able to work 5 day out of the week! I am not available on Thursday or Fridays unless it’s in the mornings to mid afternoon! I have a fenced property. The fence is not perfect so there is a possibility of dogs getting lose but that chance is low bc I wouldn’t leave your dog unattended. I do have 2 other dogs on my property as well as 2 cats. My daughter as well. If your dog does not do well with infants or other dogs I will have to ask we don’t proceed as I need to maintain my daughter’s safety and your animals!

About: Hey there! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been dog-sitting for over five years. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—big, small, and everything in between! I specialize in overnight stays and drop-in visits, where I come to your home and provide your dog with all the love, care, and attention they need while you're away. I understand the importance of keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their routine closely. I also love sending daily updates and pictures to keep you in the loop! I’m known for being reliable, friendly, and passionate about giving each dog the best care possible. Services I Offer: Overnight Stays – I’ll stay in your home overnight to keep your dog company and provide care. Drop-in Visits – I can come by a few times a day to feed, walk, and play with your dog. Walks & Playtime – If your pup needs some exercise, I’m happy to take them on a fun walk or play session! Medication Administration – If your dog needs any special care or medication, I’m comfortable handling that too. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and providing the best care possible. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can help! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule as a substitute teacher. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and for overnights. I prioritize animals’ needs and can adapt to different care routines, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I care for pets by following their routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention. I keep environments clean, safe, and stress-free. I also communicate with owners to ensure I meet every pet’s unique needs and preferences.

About: I have several years of experience dog-sitting in a variety of settings. I’ve helped run flyball shows, which gave me hands-on experience with high energy dogs in fast paced environments. I’ve also done long term overnight dogsitting for families who were out of town for multiple weeks, making sure their pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In addition, I regularly do daily drop-ins for dogs in my neighborhood and for families I used to babysit for, building strong and trusted relationships with both pets and their owners. Right now, I’m working a full-time job Monday through Friday, so my availability is limited to weekends for drop-in visits (not overnight stays). Starting in early August, my schedule will open up, and I’ll be more flexible and available for a wider range of dog-sitting services. My dog-sitting style is all about making each dog feel like they’re with family. Whether it’s my own pets or dogs I’m caring for, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, playtime, and even their favorite spots to nap. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by giving them plenty of attention, treats (if allowed), affection, and exercise. My goal is always to make them feel just as happy and cared for as they do when their family is home.

“Donna was very sweet and caring. She was extra thoughtful and took care of Astro as if he were her own.”

About: Ever since I was little I’ve had people tell me how I’m an animal whisper. I have always loved dealing and spending time with any kind of animal. I have skills of giving animals medicine by pills, shots, and liquids. I am in a vet since class at my high school that has tought me lots of skills for animals. I am attending high school 8:30-3:30 every week day. I am able to go on my lunch brake if needed to let the animal out your home is close by. On weekends I am most likely available as well. How I care for my pets at home is making sure they have food and water. Every morning and night I feed my 3 dogs with quality food. Sometimes I will have to give 2 of my dogs medicine when needed. Me and my dogs play all the time and have a happy life. How I deal with other family’s animals that I’m sitting for is by giving them loves, making sure they have food and water, and letting them out side when needed. I am also able to take your dogs out for walks whether they need to get some energy out or to use the bathroom.

“Rebecca is a fantastic pet sitter! She is very communicative and takes great care of my elderly cat. Will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”

About: I have had a love and passion for animals my entire life. My mom has worked at a vet hospital for 15+ years and I have learned so much from her. I have raised and trained my own dogs. I will make sure your fur babies recieve the same love and attention as if they were my own. I am currenlty available 7 days a week morning and night. I have lots of free time to spend loving and playing with your pets. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room to walk or run your fur babies. If they need to be crated I can do that to. They are also encouraged to lay on the couch.
