About: My close friends and co-workers have deemed me a dog-whisperer due to the way dogs gravitate towards me. I currently watch dogs of all breeds and sizes on a monthly basis and aim to provide the most caring, loving service possible. I find dog-sitting to be a fulfilling side job that brings me much joy and satisfaction. Ultimately, I want the owner to feel at ease while their away for an extended period of time.

“Grace was lovely! I asked her kind of last minute to help walk my mom’s dog and she was there promptly at 8 am before the desert heat got too bad. Stella had such a great time! Will definitely call Grace for future walks.”
“******Highly Recommend******* Nina was amazing with our dog. He is a bit distrustful with new people because he is a rescue but she took her time to let him get to know her. We highly recommend Nina!”

About: Hi, I’m Colton! I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years, and it’s truly a passion of mine. For the past three years, I work at a professional grooming salon, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s bath time, brushing, or just helping pets feel comfortable and safe, I’m confident in handling all kinds of personalities. Beyond grooming, I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and looking after dogs in both casual and structured settings. I understand how important it is to treat each pet like a member of the family—and that’s exactly what I do. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend and help however I can!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. From my own pets to those of friends, family, neighbors, and clients, I’ve always been someone people trust with the animals they love most. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’ve raised cats, cared for a litter of kittens from birth until they found their forever homes, and have also had the privilege of being there for several dogs during their final chapter of life. It was an honor to provide comfort, companionship, and a peaceful presence during such a meaningful transition. I believe every pet is unique, with their own personality, routines, and ways of feeling safe and happy. I take the time to understand what each animal needs, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, medication reminders, or extra cuddles. My daughter, the only other person in our home, works in veterinary medicine, so animals are truly a part of our everyday life. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would give my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me flexibility and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday care depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection so your pet feels happy and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets receive individual attention and care. I have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and special care. My daughter, who is the only other person who lives in my home, works in the veterinary field, so our household has an added level of knowledge and awareness when it comes to animal health and wellbeing. I will treat your pet like part of my own family and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Henny. I have been playing and caring for cats and dogs for the past 25 years, but I gained my patience, compassion, and deep love for pets when I began volunteering at the animal shelter. I became more comfortable of all breeds and sizes. This continues on with looking after family friends’ pets which I really enjoyed. I currently have a mixed terrier named Lucy. She is estimated to be 13 years young. I will care for your fur-baby like my own. I am a yoga teacher with varying work hours but I’m never out of the house for more than couple of hours. I am available for overnight persisting at your home to minimize pet stress and happy to drop in for visit. I have Big fenced backyard with plenty of space to sniff around and be free. I often hang around in my backyard with the pups to enjoy the fresh air or some sun rays.
“Joe was a great dog walker and companion for my little Violet. He took the extra time to make sure she was comfortable with him and she fell in love with him. I would highly recommend him!”

About: I've grown up with dogs from Bichon Frises to Rottweilers, caring for dogs has been part of my life. I started dog watching in college, not for money, but because I wanted my own dog & my parents said no. Watching other people's dogs brought so much joy and excitement and so I watched dogs for little to nothing during my college years. During law school, Bella and I met and have been inseparable. All while having Bella, I would watch my friends' dogs and have even fostered another dog. Even when living abroad, I somehow managed to provide food to 1 dog who visited my condo & she one day brought her friends over (see pic with 3 dogs). I love dogs. Myself and Bella would make perfect substitute companions for you while you are away from your beloved 4-legged family member. I am an attorney and creative entrepreneur. I spend my time between dance studio, yoga studio and the Pilates studio. In between times I’m usually at home with Bella or taking care of someone’s beloved 4 legged love. If I can’t take Bella with me alongside, she is at home in her den listening to calm tunes and treats in tow. I usually follow the instructions of the pet owner. I do sleep with the dogs in bed. If they cannot come along with me, I would likely place your dog and my dog in separate crates just to prevent any mischief. I usually feed 3x a day with a couple outdoor strolls. If reading this from California: my schedule is very flexible and most of my time is spent at home with my dog. If reading this in Indiana: The following are the times I usually am at the studios working and could not bring your loved one with me. Mondays I’m unavailable - 5:30am-9:30am; 4-7pm Tuesdays I’m unavailable- 7-8:30pm Wed- 8-11 and 4-7 Thurs- 5-9am Friday- 5-11:30am Saturday - 7:15-11:30am I usually remain in the same room with the pups, but I allow them to roam as they choose. I follow the owner’s instructions, and generally ask for your instructions. I do have stairs, so if your pup has issues with stairs, I wouldn’t encourage booking me.
About: 🐾 Need a Reliable Dog Sitter? I've Got Your Tail Covered! 🐾 Heading out of town or working long hours?

Retiring soon, I work from home. I can’t really have a dog. I look forward to spending meaningful time with animals and sharing unconditional love with your furry friend while you’re away from home. My approach to pet care is always personalized to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. Depending on the services requested, here’s how I typically provide care: Feeding: I follow the specific dietary instructions provided by the pet owner, including portion size, feeding times, and any special dietary needs or restrictions. I make sure fresh water is always available. Medication: If pets require medication, I administer it carefully according to the owner’s directions. This includes pills, topical treatments, or any other prescribed care, while closely monitoring the pet for any side effects or changes in behavior. Walking and Exercise: For dogs, regular walks tailored to their energy levels and physical condition are a priority. I ensure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks to keep them healthy and happy. I’m attentive to leash safety and environmental conditions during walks. Play and Enrichment: Pets receive plenty of interactive playtime, stimulation, and affection to keep them mentally engaged and emotionally satisfied. This might include playing with toys, training exercises, or just spending quiet cuddle time. Comfort and Supervision: I maintain a safe and calm environment, making sure pets have a cozy space to rest and feel secure. I monitor their behavior closely to detect any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Communication: I keep pet owners updated regularly with photos, messages, or videos, sharing how their pet is doing and any noteworthy observations.
About: With over 10 years of experience owning and operating a grooming and boarding facility in Houston, Texas, I bring professional, hands-on expertise to every dog I care for. As a devoted dog owner myself (four fur-kids and counting), I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including administering medication, handling anxious or difficult dogs, and, of course, managing the occasional mess with patience and care. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and attentive, but most importantly, I genuinely love dogs—and they know it. When you’re done booking, be sure to tell your dog I said hi. I’m semi-retired, which means I have the flexibility to provide reliable, around-the-clock care for your pets. Your dog won’t be squeezed into a schedule—they’ll have consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. As a longtime dog owner myself—sharing my home with an Olde English Sheepdog, Border Collie, Shih Tzu, and Miniature Poodle—I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and genuine affection. In my home, your rules. I'm fine sleeping with dogs. I'll feed and play on your established schedule. I'll order in if the dogs can't be left alone.
About: I spoil,teach them tricks, love them give the spa treatment spend most of my time with them I hold them and I will love your pet like it was my own. I keep them out of danger I will keep them from other dogs if there would be a fight. I will walk you dog often because I am a Walker myself. I am a kind and loving person who only want the best for animals especially pets I believe they should always be treated good with kind word not harsh or raise your voice and safety is very important to me. I had pets of all types and animals seem to be attracted to me and they come up to me and lick me. I love them too. I am currently not working this is my only job I wish to do, so I have plenty of time to spoil and take good care of your pet. I will walk you pet every two hours and love them like they are my own family. I will spoil them and give all my attention to them.
About: I grew up in a home that adopted cats & dogs and was the prime caregiver since animal's lives and happiness are close my heart. I believe in SPOILING them, not giving them all of the treats, but in giving them tons of attention and activity. Zonking them out at night so they have the best night's sleep. I love all dogs, tiny to giants and long-haired too. I laugh at zoomies. My animal voice disarms them quickly so even the most nervous cats or dogs warm up to me in time. I respect boundaries and listen/watch body language so that neither of us are uncomfortable. I love to go on walks with them, letting them smell every flower along the way. I love playing tug of war or chasing each other or throwing a ball for hours. They are such special little beings and deserve the best care. With me, they would be loved on, scratched, belly rubbed, or brushed to their delight! I work from home and set my schedule. So, I would be available to watch your furbabies during the times that you need, overnights, or just daily drop-bys. All I need is wifi and if it's the summer, AC. I am happy to bring any cat-friendly dogs into my home. Both of my cats LOVE dogs. But your furbabies would have to have up-to-date vaccinations to do so. I'm happy to have them here. If they like walks, I go on one daily for about an hour. If I need to, I can split that walk in two, no worries. Spending time with them at a dog park. Throwing the ball or playing outside with their favorite toy is also something that I would enjoy doing. I am happy to find what each furbaby needs and to meet it. I love getting to know animals and their specific qualities/likes/dislikes and meeting their needs and having fun. The whole idea to me is that if their humans are out of town. having fun, they should have an equal amount of fun too!
About: I have years of professional experience that includes volunteering for multiple animal shelters and rescues and also working as a shelter employee and animal control officer. I my loving home, I have puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats. I have received professional training for pet behavior and handling. I have owned multiple special needs dogs including dogs who are deaf, had seizures and had physical disabilities. I currently have 3 days off a week that gives me open availability to care for your pets. I may also be able to help late afternoon and evenings on the other days. At my residence I have a fenced yard to keep your pets secure. I also have crates available if needed for crate training which some of my dogs prefer to use as well. My normal pet life is letting the pets be on the couch and bed or they have multiple dog beds available if they choose.

“John was great. My dog was a little reluctant to walk with John at first, since she didn't know him, but he persisted and got Lucy out. He sent pictures and communicated well.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
I had a wonderful experience with Molly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. She was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always felt confident that my pet was in great hands, and I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chewbacca was happy, well cared for, and excited to see her each visit, which says a lot. She was dependable, attentive to my pet's needs, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I’m grateful for the excellent care and will definitely be booking with Molly again!

Our 8 yr old St Bernard was not impressed with us taking him to the desert & had a tough time adapting to his new surroundings. As a result, we spent a great deal of time inside the house with him during our “getaway”. We are incredibly grateful to have found Chris who proved to be incredibly helpful & reliable for the rare days we needed to break free. He was always prompt to respond to requests & was very accommodating! The report cards & pictures were a Bonus! Thank you so much. Chris!
