“Amazing. Bohdan really helped our family out as we had a family member (who was our pet caregiver) fall the day before we had to leave town. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Thank you Bohdan and family.”


About: I am a passionate animal lover and have been for my entire life. I love all animals and have chosen to pursue a career as a zookeeper. I graduated from college with an Associates Degree in Zoo Science and Technology. After graduating I worked for Petco for almost 2 years. I am now currently working for Petsmart and have been for almost 2 and half years. So I have extensive knowledge and experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I have been my childhood neighbors dog sitter for the past 10 years and have been a petsitter for multiple other people including co-workers. I even have experience with small animals such as hamsters and reptiles. I treat all pets as if they are my own and would love the chance to care for yours! I am currently working part-time at Petsmart and work at least five days a week. I work mostly mornings so my afternoons are usually free! I cannot offer to watch your pet at my home, as I am renting; however, I am very comfortable visiting your home to care for your pet! I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.

“Christine has been faithfully walking my girls twice a week for several months. She is reliable, kind and very attentive to my babies. My situation has changed and at this time I can no longer continue with ROVER. This is in no way a reflection of Christine. She has been like a God-mother to Shelby and Molly Shanna and they will miss her terribly.”


About: I have lots of experience with a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and fish. I have own two dogs currently- Dude & Sadie. They are my world! I am accustomed to long walks and lots of fun activities since most of the dogs I've cared for were high-energy. I also have experience with caring for multiple pets at the same time! My favorite part about pet-sitting is getting to know each pet's unique personality. Right now I work Monday through Friday but I am available weekends. I am open to coming over in the evening after work as well! While I cannot host your pet in my home, I am more than happy to accommodate you by driving out to your location. I find that pet-sitting in your own home allows your pet to enjoy comfort and safety while still receiving excellent care and attention. If you have a preferred dog park, I have plenty of room in my car for your pets to take them to the park!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets has taught me how to understand their unique needs, whether it’s providing gentle care for senior dogs or keeping up with the energy and training needs of puppies. I just graduated college so right now I have completely open availability! I’m available during both weekdays and weekends to care for pets, including boarding. This flexible schedule lets me give animals the time, attention, and love they deserve every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and schedule, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away!

About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.

About: For 30+ years, I shared my life with dogs, from wiggly puppies to gray‑muzzled seniors. My last two companions crossed the rainbow bridge only weeks apart after 15 wonderful years, caring for them through their golden years, which honed my skills with daily medication, injections, and gentle mobility support. I’m also a certified therapy‑dog handler. Together, Franco and I made rounds at retirement homes and hospice centers with a national organization called K9 Buddies. Whether it’s redirecting anxious energy, reinforcing good manners, or offering a soothing lap for snuggles, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique quirks. Friends jokingly call me “the dog whisperer” because dogs gravitate to me for lots of hugs. From basic obedience refreshers to specialized medical routines, your pet will get knowledgeable, compassionate care as if they were my own. I am self-employed, have ample time to fit potty schedules, and ensure your dog is well cared for when you cannot be home. If desired, overnights and long-term care is a possibility. Your pets care will depend on your desires and their personality. I am happy to discuss specific needs, from medication to play and training. My goal is to allow you to leave your dog home with peace of mind, knowing you do not have to double-check or worry.

Rebekah P.
“Rebekah was my senior year college roommate. Prior to her arrival, my other roommate and I adopted a border collie mix named Trooper. Rebekah moved in and treated Trooper like her own. She took such good care of him and loved him like her own. She always helped out if she was the only one home if Trooper needed to eat or go outside, even even went to the extent of taking him out for walks whenever she had time. She’s highly responsible and was always reliable. I know trooper misses her like we do since we’ve all graduated and parted ways. She would be great for anyone looking to need their dog walked or needs a dog sitter.”

Sarah F.
“Sarah has provided amazing care over the years to my two rambunctious golden retrievers! They appreciate the undivided attention that she gives them and how much she plays with and cuddles them. I am appreciative of her ability to administer medications to my finicky pups and the adorable photos I get while away. Additionally, she has a flexible work schedule which makes scheduling very convenient and ensures she can provide proper care to my dogs. Besides caring for dogs, Sarah is also mother to a sassy kitty and she would make an excellent cat sitter too!”
