About: For the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to have an amazing dog in my life. I've watched him grow from the tiniest puppy into a grouchy yet snuggly old man. Keeping him safe, satisfied, and healthy have been priorities whether that meant walking in the rain or making him a hot meal. He is without a doubt one of the most important parts of my life. I understand what it is to place your trust and your pet in someone else’s hands. As a sitter/walker, I would treat your dog as one of my own. I’ve worked with seniors and puppies, walked, played, and trained with them. All animals come with a story; whatever health, safety, and behavioral information you share would be respected and observed. I look forward to meeting you and making sure that your furry loved one gets the attention and services they deserve! As someone who works primarily from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize my dog’s care throughout the day. He gets a minimum of a 1.5-mile walk every single day, rain or shine, and always enjoys a hot meal made with a special mix of healthy, human-grade ingredients added to his kibble—because I believe that quality food equals a happier, healthier pup. I also make sure he has a yard break every 2-3 hours, along with two medium to long walks daily to keep him active and engaged. My routine is built around making sure my dog’s needs are met consistently, and I approach all my pet care with the same level of attention and dedication. Whether it's a regular walk, a healthy meal, or a quick yard break, I ensure that my pets are always well taken care of, just like I would treat your own furry friend! When it comes to dog walking, safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ve learned to anticipate potential issues, whether it’s a skateboarder coming around a corner or a squirrel teasing from the street, ensuring that any situation is handled before it becomes a problem. By understanding an animal’s triggers, I can make every walk a positive, stimulating experience while maintaining control of the leash at all times. For home sitting, whether it’s a dog or cat, I take care to respect the space—both for the animal and the owner’s peace of mind. I always follow the house rules and make sure any specific needs or routines for your pet are respected. Trust is key, and I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both you and your furry family member.

“If you’re looking for someone who is responsive, reliable, and great with dogs, Mario is your guy! We had to give my little psycho morkie Lucky eye drops because he had pink eye, and he was being very difficult which made it impossible for anyone to get them in. I was fully prepared to take him to the vet twice a day for ten days to have them do it for us, but then I remembered how awesome Mario is with him and figured I’d send him a video of how the vet did it and see if he’d be comfortable helping us. I was very surprised that he said yes because of how scary and aggressive Lucky was in the video, and I couldn’t have imagined how easy and stress free Mario ended up making the process. Mario’s first visit was dramatic to say the least, and I gave him many opportunities to back out, but he insisted on coming back and that Lucky would get used to it. He then went home that night and took a closer look at the video and figured out exactly what to do, then returned the next morning with a plan that worked seamlessly. Lucky’s life has been so much better ever since and it’s all thanks to Mario! Mario really cares about the dogs he works with and will do the research on his own to best care for your dog. You will not regret choosing him!”

“It was such a great decision to have Gladys and Liani take care of our cats! They proved to be extremely responsive, reliable, and punctual. When there was a car accident along the way, Gladys even checked in to let us know they would be a few minutes late. What really made Gladys and Liani stand apart from other sitters was their enthusiasm. It didn't seem like taking care of pets is just a job -- it seems that they genuinely love animals. Separately, while others made the initial scheduling process overly complicated, it was really easy to arrange everything with Gladys. Gladys and Liani earned our highest recommendation!”

“Rachel is absolutely wonderful! She is so flexible and great to work with. It’s our second time working with her and we highly recommend her to any pet parents!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles my whole life. Now I’m a toddler/cat mom looking to help take care of your fur babies. I’m one of my friends first picks to pet sit or walk their dogs. I’ve sat and walked Australian Cattle Dogs, PitBulls, Labs, Mutts, Chihuahua’s. Any dog big or small is welcome. I will not be offering boarding in my home at this time due to having an elderly cat that I do not wish to stress out. But I am very interested in walking any pups and low maintenance pet sitting. My schedule is very flexible. I’ve been told that my calm demeanor is suitable for anxious dogs. Let me help you! I work full time, 95% remotely. I create my own schedule. This flexibility allows me the opportunity to offer you flexibility and accommodate to various scheduling needs. It can be hard to trust people in your home. I have worked numerous jobs that involve being in people’s homes which involves high level of trust. I have worked for all natural cleaning companies for offices, homes, rentals. I currently work in a field where I do house visits with my clients. I’ve worked as a residential manager for people with disabilities where I managed their finances, property and well-being. I hope my background and experience can give you peace of mind if I must enter your home to pick up your fur baby.

I always prioritize safety—checking gates, securing leashes properly, and ensuring your pet is comfortable and calm during each visit. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! I grew up in the country side of Ireland and had many sheep dogs through my childhood. My love for animals started at a young age and quickly learned how smart and special they truly are. Through out the years I’ve developed an intuitive approach to caring for each animals individual personality and needs. This is my full time job Monday through Friday. Rates are listed but please note ! (Anything over 8hrs is an additional $20/hr) for daycare. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play and would never have more than 5/6 dogs at a time.I also live in a very walkable neighborhood with sidewalks and I’m close to , parks, farms, and nature hikes. Sadly I no longer have a pup of my own as he recently passed away.

“Kristin 's care of our two kitties was excellent. She was reliable and attentive to their food and care while we were away. We especially appreciated her photos of them from each home visit! We recommend her highly!”

“Kristy is responsible, reliable and loving with our puppy! She is a true animal lover, giving lots of belly rubs and even doing some training sessions of some of the skills we've been working on with him. We're so grateful we found her on Rover! :).”

I'm currently working part time so I have an open availability to squeeze in time with your fur babies whenever you may need the hand I have an environment that is safe and dog friendly. I do not have any of my own pets at the moment so there's plenty of room for yours
