“Great communication & service. I was in a terrible predicament &;Heather was great & alleviated a lot of stress. My dog is a great judge of character & he took to Heather immediately. Highly recommend”


“Emily was great with my puppy Riley (who can be a bit stubborn at times)! She made sure Riley had a potty break each time she walked her and was very communicative about when she was walking Riley and how the walk went.”


“Amanda was great! She was on time and made sure to update me on my pup. Amanda was easy to work with and helped me out last minute ! Will definitely be booking her again in future (:”


“Eleanor is wonderful! She has been dog walking my pup for the past few weeks and she is super responsive and reliable! Will definitely be rebooking with her.”


“Elena is wonderful and I’ve already rebooked with her! She came over to let my rambunctious pup out daily while I was out of town, even bringing along her own dog to get some extra energy out, and made sure to send updates and photos. Ahead of time, she asked really great questions about our dog care preferences, which highlighted her experience and made me feel very comfortable with our first time Rover experience. Highly recommend!”


“Miranda has walked my dog three days a week for one year and has had overnight stays. There aren’t enough amazing things I can say about her. She is extremely caring and goes the extra mile to work around my schedule and be flexible. There is no one I trust more to help take care of my dog. Even from my dog’s perspective, I can see through the report card photos that he enjoys being with her. I highly recommend contacting Miranda if you are in need of a dog walker or sitter!”

About: I am a huge animal lover ever since I was a child I've cared for pets from guinea pigs to horses however dogs, cats and fishes I had the most experience and absolute companionship. Throughout my life I've had over 5 dogs, 13 cats, 3 turtles and multiple fishes as well as cared for neighbor pets and children while their guardians were in need. I know how to provide pets with their medications, brush their teeth and when to give their needed walks and attention. I keep up with my health and cardio resistance to keep up the fun of helping others and doggy activities. I love to stay active. Most importantly I am happy to be reliable, careful, loving and playful with all animals. I am Full-time and try to provide flexibility as much as possible. In conjunction with moving, hospital visits, flight delays, traffic and unexpected weather conditions I completely understand and choose to prioritize your general safety. Also, in consideration, adjustments and cancelations are to be set for 3 days prior to the booking date. I do charge $10 late fee per hour from scheduled time. I'm currently in a 2 story apartment on the 2nd floor. With 4 bedrooms and a doggie pull out couch. I keep the spacious place very clean and safe. There are no kennels, crates or gates you would have to provide one if necessary. All animals would enjoy the homey atmosphere.

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Glen is amazing! My dog, Bruce Lee, absolutely loves them. They’re reliable, caring, and always send updates and photos. I trust them completely, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I understand that every pet has unique needs whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’m here to provide safe, loving care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I work Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate pet visits before work, during lunch, after work, and before bedtime. I also offer overnight stays for pets who need extra company and care while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle, medication, or just some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for I believe every pet is unique, and I’m here to provide personalized care based on their needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and I’m comfortable with all life stages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I can help with: - Walks, playtime, and exercise - Feeding routines and fresh water - Litter box and habitat cleaning - Administering medication (including injections like insulin) - Overnight stays and companionship - Special care for shy, senior, or special-needs pets. Whether your pet is energetic, independent, or in need of medical support, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been active in their care since early on. I have personal experience taking care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and rodents throughout my life. I've dog and cat sat (daily check-ins and overnight stays) for several people in my life over the years, including my close friends, coworkers, and bosses. I have recent experience with taking care of and aiding senior pets in their daily routine and have no issue administering medication as instructed by their veterinarians/owners. In addition, I have no issue maintaining consistency in training and providing mental stimulation for younger pets. I know that younger animals are learning and that they need time to process requests. I understand that pets can be unique in their behaviors and that their owners know them best. It's important to me to make sure pets are well taken care of and comfortable in their lives - and that can look different for different pets and owners. I'm a research-focused graduate student with a more flexible schedule than most, so I can visit multiple times throughout the day and night. I have my own car so I can easily travel to clients' homes and have seat-belt attachments to travel with animals in the car as well if the need arrises. I strive to keep things as consistent and predictable as possible, maintaining a pet's schedule as laid out by the owner. I've used a variety of leashes and feeding schedules over the years and find that it really depends on the dog/owner on which one works best. For example, my dog Wiggles likes to graze so she has access to food around the clock, but when I take care of my brother's dogs, they require a more structured feeding schedule that I adhere to for them.

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s for a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. With a calm, caring approach and a love for all animals, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on reliable updates, attention to detail, and plenty of tail wags! I currently work full time as an emergency room technician at a local hospital. I would love to spend my days off with your animals! When caring for pets at their home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of affection—just like you would. I also keep their environment clean and safe, whether that means refreshing water bowls, scooping litter, or tidying up after playtime. I provide updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: For as long as I can remember i've been dog obsessed. I got my first dog when I was 13 and now I have Bailey, my Pitbull who loves to sleep, eat and play. I have had dogs my whole life and have experienced most breeds and their special needs and personalities. I bring my dog running and hiking regularly and I can do the same with your pooch. I understand how nerve wrecking it can be to have someone else care for your pet and I strive to give every animal a fun and safe experience. I currently have a flexible schedule & I am available during the week & on some weekends — check my availability to find out more! I can take care of pets in the my home in a safe and fun way. I will walk them as required along with feeding them and of course play time! If your pet requires a lot of activity I can offer dog walks, hikes or runs. I can also accommodate the pets that want to relax and enjoy some belly rubs.
