“Matt is always pleasant, punctual and enthusiastic. He seems genuinely excited to walk my dog and my dog loves him as well!”

6. Laura I.
“Laura and her family have cared for our dogs multiple times. They are always very well taken care of with lots of walks, love, and food. Over the past 15 years I’ve seen them care for their own dogs as well. Always well fed, groomed, and loved. Dogs are trained to have good manners and behave well with other animals. Great dog family!”


7. Joy R.

“Joy was a true joy for my pups! She came to our home to walk (or to play with the boys when it was too cold/snowy). She was always so kind and the boy were ALWAYS happy to see her (dogs never lie)!”


8. Landon A.
“I swear there is not a pet out there that doesn’t like Landon. They are always so quick to trust him and he loves them just as much if not more. He dog & cat sits for his grandma and brother often and I would trust him and recommend him to anyone!”


9. Cedar A.
About: I have 2 years working in dog boarding facilities so I have experience handling multiple dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs/administering medication. I also have cat experience! I work regular hours but I can fit most routines into my day if schedules need to be kept. I am very good at keeping to a set schedule. I am used to feeding/care routines and am very adaptable with most needs. I am comfortable with walks, playing, feeding, and any other set routines you have!

11. Amber B.

12. Taylor B.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. We’ve had all the way from a tiny Maltese to a Siberian Husky! I don’t think I have a favorite breed, but I do favor my senior dog (14+ year old) beagle, Rose, a bit 😉 I work 3-12 hour shifts per week but I am free any time outside of that. Morning, evening, or night would be fine by me. I don’t plan on caring for pets on my home, as I currently rent. However, I will follow your wishes on how you would like me to care for your babies!


13. Korina S.
“I enthusiastically endorse Korina as a dog sitter for Rover. Korina's innate kindness and affinity towards pets has been demonstrated in her ability to gently coax an anxious cat from being a shadow around the house to being a purring, fluffy puddle of love. She has first-hand experience with pets of all sizes and kinds; I fully believe that she could pet-sit everything from a lizard to a cow. In caring for dogs, Korina will provide dogs and dog-owners with a level of care and empathy that will exceed expectations.”


14. Destiny F.
About: Hi, I'm Des and I’m so excited to meet you and your furry (or scaley/feathery) family members! I’ve had the opportunity to work as a zookeeper at an AZA accredited zoo, where I trained a variety of animals using positive reinforcement techniques. This gave me a lot of insight into animal behavior, and the skills to handle pets of all kinds. I’m comfortable working with just about any animal you can think of. I’ve also worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital where I assisted with medical procedures and cared for recovering animals. This role provided me with quick thinking skills in emergency situations and further developed my passion for the well-being of all animals. I am certified in canine/feline CPR and First Aid. Over the years I’ve adopted guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and rats of my own. I've worked as a professional dog walker and sitter previously. I enjoy hiking and camping with my two dogs, concerts, traveling, and reading. I recently went back to school to study biology and hope to continue my career working with animals. Your pets will receive all the love, attention, and care they deserve from me while you’re away! I'm a full time online student and work part time. I have a pretty flexible schedule currently and want to fill it with lots of animal time. I love walking pups and have experience with reactive dogs. Building confidence through positive reinforcement to provide a better experience to the dogs in my care brings me a lot of joy.


15. Lindsey T.
“Lindsey has always been amazing around animals and truly has a wonderful and caring sense of love for them all. I would not hesitate for a second putting my dog in her care if we lived closer. I love that her and her family recently rescued a dog and have nurtured him with an unconditional love, who's making an outstanding recovery. Lindsey has a huge heart, and will undoubtedly be your fur baby's best friend.”


16. Sammy S.
“Sammy’s pet family started when someone dumped their dog off by their home. Most likely, knowing she was an animal lover with a ‘heart of gold’ & couldnt resist opening up her heart & home and caring. For him. Sammy’s family currently has 2 dogs & 1 cat. I have seen her in action as she provides them and other family’s pets utmost love & special attention; as she realizes they are ‘family’. Feel rest assured; Sammy will give you family pet(s) an abundance of warm love & caring attention while you are away. In fact, they will ask (bark, meow, etc) for her to come back for visits! 🤗”


17. Robert S.

“Robert is very nice and great with our dog Junior. He was easy to communicate with, timely, and even dried off our wet pup with his own sweatshirt! Would recommend without a doubt.”


18. Lindsey C.

“Lindsey does a great job! She is extremely responsible and did everything per our instructions. I would highly recommend her for your pets needs! I’ll definitely be using her again!!”
