About: I have been providing pet sitting services for at least 15 years now for our various personal family friends and others. I love animals and have had pets my whole life. They are my fur babies, and yours will be treated the same! I am a recently retired mom and grandma who has two fur babies. I can provide my own transportation, and I’m available all throughout the day for various times as needed. I would be happy to help you with your fur baby needs. I plan to provide pet care in my client’s home and keep to the same schedule they are used to. It is my goal to make sure they are comfortable and safe before I leave from the visit.
“Curtis was very punctual, took time to get to know Sidney. Provided good information after each walk on her performance. I would highly recommend Curtis and would encourage others to utilize his dog walking services.”
About: I grew up within a household with a variety of animals. At one point we had five dogs, a cat, a bunny, a guinea pig, three hamsters, 5 birds, a bearded dragon, and a gecko. I learned at a very early age how to tend to animals (clean, feed, play, walk, potty breaks, etc) I enjoy helping others and especially caring for animals. They simply bring me joy. I have open availability (other than dates marked off calendar) and am flexible to try and accommodate your schedule as best as possible in order to make things easy for you and your pet. My male husband and I own a house with a fenced in backward and a neighborhood to walk in. Since I have open availability, I have time to tend to the animals without any distractions from other tasks.
About: I got my first puppy when I was 14 and and I’ve taken great care of him and my other pets since then! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I know how to take care of them. I will walk, clean, or spend time with your dog anytime you’d like! I’m always available to spend time with doggies and I’m mainly available in the mornings/afternoon but sometimes can fit in a night visit as well. I make sure to leave the clients home in as good condition as I found it. I try to not make any messes and entertain the dogs
“Katarinna was absolutely wonderful with Moscow. I really enjoyed her personality and the way she handled Moscow when we did our meet and greet. Moscow is dog reactive which she has experience with, making me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. She did exactly what I asked her to do and then some! I'm from out a town and she was the only person willing to watch him while I was visiting with some friends. I highly recommend her services and will book again with her if I lived in the area! Thank you Katarinna!”
About: I have been caring and owning dogs for over 5 years. I have most experience dog sitting and walking; and I am most excited to meet all your fury friends! I have roughly 2 and a half years of house sitting. Whatever it may be: cleaning, cooking, dog-walking, dog sitting, etc. I can do it! No matter how busy I might be, I will always make time for animal care. Weekends and MWF are always the best days when it comes to animal care, as Tuesdays and Thursdays are my slightly busier days. But morning to night, I can handle feedings, potty breaks, and play time. My own pets are on a schedule for feedings and playtime and walks. I guarantee that no matter the pet, whatever is needed for your fur babies, I will fulfill it. I personally love a good cuddle on the couch and a walk on some nature trails to stretch those legs, but anything from pet yoga to swimming, I'll make sure any animal is taken care of.
“Magdalena was outstanding! She was very attentive and caring with our dog, and she engaged with him in different ways, including walks in the neighborhood and the nearby park and playing with him in the back yard and inside. Our dog gets anxious when we have to leave him at home, but she really helped mitigate his anxiety. We will gladly use her services again!”
About: You can trust me with your fur baby. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. That's not just experience, it's a relationship with animals that I've built slowly and gladly. At home, I have a one-year-old cat who matches whatever energy the day brings. She's curious, playful, and always exploring. If you want adventure, she'll hike beside you. If you want stillness, she'll curl up while you read. She reminds me every day that the best care isn't just about feeding and walking. It's about presence. Being there. Really being there. That's what I offer your pet. Full love. Full attention. Just as anyone wants to be. They're not just a pet, they're also independent creature that we should all co-exist with. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time and energy to take them out for a walk or to play with them. I am also comfortable taking them with me, to parks, to the grocery store, to a cafe etc. I can provide boarding throughout the week so long as I have a heads up notice beforehand. I have a very social cat that loves to play, and I can crate your pet easily as well. I can administer medicine, provide bathing, and walks.
About: The past couple of years, I have been house sitting which turned into dog sitting for a few family friends and have always had positive experiences so decided to take my talents (if you will lol) and bring myself to Rover! I have had a couple dogs growing up who have now passed away due to illness/old age but loved being around/taking care of them! I also understand dogs are people's children and will treat yours as such. I'm currently working via laptop freelancing so my schedule is very flexible. For in home stays, I am used to house sitting as well as taking care of animals so would return your home and animal as you left them. The only times I would really be out of the home would be to go to the gym or grab food so I would be attentive to your dog's needs! I am very easy to adapt to any situation and have had experience with multiple different breeds. If there is anything you are worried about, I would just be a text or a call away. I am very chill, responsible, and will make sure your dog is completely taken care of so you can enjoy your time away, stress-free.

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ostrander. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
