“Caitlin was great! She was very communicative, responded really quickly, and kept me updated throughout both the walk and drop-in visit. She followed all of instructions carefully and made sure everything was taken care of exactly as I asked. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive she was and would definitely recommend her!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Bradlei. She was incredibly intentional with her time with my dogs and made sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Her communication was excellent, and the detailed updates including a thoughtful report card from their walks. This gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was trustworthy, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. When I returned, my dogs were calm and relaxed, which says everything about the level of care they received. I’m so grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker”
About: Experience in high energy dogs, puppies, dogs who pull, senior care, and am a fast walker. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of! I’m currently in nursing school and only go 2 days a week. The other 5 days of the week I am available to take care of animals. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for pets in their home. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised throughout my visit. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from the owner so their pet can maintain a familiar routine while they are away. I also keep the home clean and provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Christopher is excellent. He was calm and patient so my dogs warmed up to him quickly. He didn't skimp on the walks and spent extra time whenever appropriate. Communication was informative and reassuring, including several pictures. Dogs were happy and I felt confident they were well cared for. I will definitely call on Christopher again.”
“Morgan is great with our family dog she comes Monday through Friday to walk her and Lola is so excited to see her. She wipes her off when it rains and fills her water bowl. My parents are senior citizens so it helps so much having her assist with Lola!”
About: Hello, my name is Lissa. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and I regularly take care of friends and family’s pets while they are away. I’ve volunteered with the animal shelter for a little over a year and am happy to take care of some new furry friends! I do work full-time but have a hybrid schedule. Currently, I am available all day on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I have flexibility on most other weekday evenings too! I am also happy to spend lots of time playing with your pet and will send picture and video updates of how they are doing!
About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life since I was little. Also growing up I was active in 4-H with horses. I still today volunteer for mostly horses and dogs. I care, clean and play with them to show them they are important. I get joy when being with them as they are so rewarding and turn your bad day into a good day. I have two dogs, some fish and a hedgehog of my own. When I take care of animals I talk to them like they matter and get down on the floor and play with them if they want their toys. You won't find me just on my phone sitting around. They miss their humans when gone and I try to make them feel loved so they aren't lonely. I have never not had an animal with me. I have also helped with fostering service dogs, taking them to vet appt's when puppies and training them and going to training classes weekly for them until adopted. it was a real pleasure to see them excel and get their vest to go out in public and work with real life situations to be able to help someone less fortunate who needs them for support. Dogs are so awesome. I think cats are great too, I have taken care of some for my neighbors and had a few growing up. they are fun to watch and play with. I am currently volunteering at a dog shelter. Working at a horse farm was rewarding also, taking care of them, getting them saddled and ready for special need children and helping them by leading them around the arena. Also did private lessons with kids helping them groom and clean stalls. I always help out family and neighbors if they need help with their animals and give friendly advice if they ask. I am a homemaker so I do have time to come care for your pet.('s) I have a car to get there and don't mind a little drive. I have a nice big fenced in yard. I have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and love to play. I don't mind at all if your dog would rather stay at home where he feels safe and everything he needs is there. I like detailed notes so I know what's best for them because I'm the same way. I believe in the little things in life that matter.
“This is our second time using Katharine and she’s just great. Our dog loves her (can be weary of new people) our cats come out to see her when she’s in our house. I feel completely safe leaving keys and the garage code with her. If you are new to Rover and need a sitter she’s amazing! Thanks again Katharine!”
“Amelia did an excellent job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. She was punctual, reliable, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention | give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them rather than using a one size fits all approach. I'm experienced with dogs of different energy levels and personalities, including playful, high energy dogs as well as more laidback pups who prefer a quiet, relaxed environment. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and other instructions provided by their owners. I'm also patient with puppies who are still learning and happy to provide extra attention and structure to senior dogs who may need a slower pace or additional care. Most importantly, I treat pet sitting as more than simply stopping by to feed a dog. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm dependable, communicative, and will happily send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out while you’re away. I work from home, which allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. My schedule also gives me flexibility to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, whether they need frequent breaks, scheduled meals, medication, extra playtime, or simply someone nearby to make them feel comfortable. I enjoy having pets around while I work and am happy to make their care an important part of my day. Please no dropoffs before 8am and no pick ups after 8pm. Thank you 😊 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks without being exposed to traffic or other outdoor hazards. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and individual preferences. I keep a close eye on pets throughout their stay and make sure they have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat their space, belongings, and instructions with the same respect I would want for my own pets. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Note: If your pet is ill with a communicable sickness, please keep them home. I have two dogs in my home, and I greatly appreciate your understanding.

This is the 2nd time we have used Elizabeth for walking Stoney. She took a last minute appointment for the 2nd time. She is a wonderful happy person. Stoney lived her. She also informed us after the walk a person was messing around our mail box and other mail boxes. So nice if her to notice that. Thank you so much.
I am so grateful for the care and love my dog receives from Amanda. She is very dependable, thoughtful, and truly treats my dog like her own. You can tell she genuinely love animals, and my dog is always so happy and excited to see her for her walks. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
