About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I currently work only 2–3 hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your little one. I’m flexible on weekends as well, which means I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always get my full attention and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Megan was wonderful to work with. She was responsible, kind, and very reliable throughout the entire booking. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was patient and caring with my shy cat, and I really appreciated her thoughtful care. I would definitely book with Megan again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Mitchell is reliable, communicates very well, and takes great care of Archi. He was very kind and flexible to come care for Archi on very short notice and we are grateful for that. Recommend him to anyone and already rebooked his services again!”
“Ping was great with RB. She’s very kind and gentle. Her pup Cherry is also very sweet and well behaved. I think it’s a bonus for RB to have canine company. Ping sent photos, was able to accommodate last minute request and very responsive. Thanks Ping and Cherry!”
About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals since I was a kid. I treat pets as if they were my own and respect their space when needed. I’ve worked with different such as livestock (horses, goats, sheep, cows) and your typical domesticated pet. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so having the opportunity to watch someone else’s pet brings me tremendous joy. I currently work full time at a vet hospital Tuesday-Saturdays so it is really nice to be able to come home after work to something warm and fluffy. While in a clients home I always check out the home first so I can feel comfortable and see all possible exits. For pets to gain my trust I always let them sniff me first and treat them as if they were mine. I give them space when they need it. I have high respect for an owners home as well and treat it as if it were my home.
“Emily is a great catsitter & my cat was very comfortable with her. Emily took care every detail and was communicative with updates, photos, and even a video. My kitty is in good hands with Emily!”
“Chalise took amazing care of my two cats over the weekend. Made sure everything was all set and they were happy. Very great experience for my first time using rover. Mack and Lionel look forward to the next visit!”
“Stephen was amazing! Our two dogs and lizard loved him and one of our dogs had a special circumstance and he went out of his way to take care special care of her. He reported to us all that happened on each visit and sent pictures too! He is very punctual and dependable through out our entire vacation. We highly recommend his services and will book with him again!”
About: Since I was 11, I have done drop-in visits for dogs of friends and neighbors. Additionally, I have grown up walking my family’s dogs and hiking with them. For the past 6 years, I have done overnights with them and have helped maintain their medication schedules. I am out of school for the summer, so I have open availability each day. I am an early riser and night owl, so I am flexible depending on your needs. I respect client wishes for mode of entry to their home. I respect the dog’s space and make sure their comfort while I am there is my top priority. all toys and messes such as dirty dog bowls will be cleaned up before I leave the home.
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually home during the hours when many owners are away at work or busy, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for animals. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide fresh water, daily playtime, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep their schedule consistent with what they’re used to—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet rest—so they feel secure and happy. Most importantly, I give them plenty of love and attention, making sure they feel like part of the family during their stay.”
“Christina communicates well setting up and during drop-in visits. I know what is happening in detail. She took good care of my fur babies making sure they had playtime, love and eating well.”
“Having Gwen take care of our dog this past week has been a great experience! This was a last minute request and also our first time using Gwen’s services. She was very easy to communicate with, reliable, and responsible. I’d recommend her and I’d happily use her services again! Thanks for your help, Gwen!”
About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.
About: My background working at a veterinary office and volunteering for a medical animal rescue equips me with the skills to provide the best care for your pet(s). From nursing bottle babies to administering medications for the elderly, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages. I’m more than happy to provide updates, especially for those extended trips! Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities. My open and flexible schedule accommodate any routine to keep you and your furry ones happy. My services are best applied in the client’s home or neighborhood. I’m perfect for those that need some extra attention, feedings, medication administration, walks or a weekend sitter.
About: I’m a reliable and active dog lover who offers evening walks and attentive boarding in a calm, structured environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s getting them out for a solid walk, sticking to their normal routine, or making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away, I focus on providing consistent, dependable care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and will follow any specific instructions, feeding schedules, or special care needs you provide. I’m available for evening walks, which makes me a great option for after-work exercise, dinner-time potty breaks, or helping your dog burn off energy before settling in for the night. I prioritize safe, structured walks and make sure your dog gets both the physical activity and attention they need. For boarding, I want to be transparent that I live in a clean, well-maintained travel trailer. It’s a climate-controlled and secure space that provides a calm, low-stress environment for dogs. Because of the smaller, controlled setting, I’m able to give pets more direct supervision, consistent attention, and frequent outdoor time. Dogs are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular walks, engagement, and care throughout their stay. Many dogs actually do very well in this type of quiet, less chaotic environment. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to your dog’s well-being. I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I take pride in making sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for from the moment they arrive. With a work schedule of 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. Pets can get a morning walk, a mid-day lunch break, and multiple evening walks to help burn off energy and stay on a routine. My schedule works especially well for dogs that need structure, regular exercise, and attention spread across the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I prefer structured walks on trails, downtown paths, and open areas like the parade field rather than dog parks, where off-leash or unpredictable dogs can create unnecessary risk. This allows me to maintain better control, avoid unsafe situations, and focus fully on your dog. Whether in my care or your home, every dog is treated with the same level of attention and respect as if they were my own.
About: I offer a premium, personalized experience by hosting only one at a time, ensuring your pet gets my full attention and never has to compete for love. I provide attentive, reliable care while treating them like family. From regular walks and exercise to enriching outings to the park, I am fully committed to giving your pup the dedicated care, safety, and affection they deserve. 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home dog mom who loves my own paw baby named Bella. I love animals and treat all pets like part of the family. I truly enjoy caring for other dogs, spending quality time with them, and connecting with fellow fur babies in the community ❤️🐾 When I do a drop-in visit at your home, my focus is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, medication, or special routines. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Needed a dog sitter last minute for my mini & giant schnauzers and Julie was available. She followed all instructions, even dropped by a little earlier, and brought an Amazon package in that arrived while I was out of town as well. Meet/greet was a bit stressful for my mini-schnauzer at first with his anxiety, but the drop in visits went well. She sent photo updates of the dogs, and communicated any issues or questions while she was caring for my dogs. Would rebook again if needed in the future! Thank you Julie!
Amy was very communicative and came for both scheduled check-ins. She followed all of our instructions exactly and kept us informed when she was running a few minutes late. She took great care of Jaanu, spent time with her, and even tried teaching her a few games. We appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing Jaanu was in good hands. We'd be happy to book with Amy again.
Mitchell was wonderful! I appreciate that I did not need to provide excessive/detailed instructions for Mitchell. I simply provided feeding instructions and he took care of the rest. He intuitively interacted with my cats. I trusted his experience with animals. He was so very communicative which was above and beyond. He was also very nice to us humans and his confidence helped me feel very relaxed. I honestly did not have to worry about a thing!
Having Gwen take care of our dog this past week has been a great experience! This was a last minute request and also our first time using Gwen’s services. She was very easy to communicate with, reliable, and responsible. I’d recommend her and I’d happily use her services again! Thanks for your help, Gwen!
Megan was wonderful to work with. She was responsible, kind, and very reliable throughout the entire booking. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was patient and caring with my shy cat, and I really appreciated her thoughtful care. I would definitely book with Megan again and highly recommend her to others.
Stephen was amazing! Our two dogs and lizard loved him and one of our dogs had a special circumstance and he went out of his way to take care special care of her. He reported to us all that happened on each visit and sent pictures too! He is very punctual and dependable through out our entire vacation. We highly recommend his services and will book with him again!
As always, Dakota took fantastic care of our kitties while we were out of town. We’ve been happy clients since 2024 and honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. I especially love his prompt responses and the consistent report cards—the photos always put our minds at ease! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
Stephanie has been watching my golden retriever puppy since he was 8 weeks old. Stephanie drops in twice per day to check on him while I’m at the office and she is so reliable and consistent and completely exceeded my expectations! Indy loves her and he’s completely learned to settle in his pen through the consistency of Stephanie showing up at consistent times each day. She’s also great about rolling with the punches as my schedule changes and going above and beyond when he’s had GI issues. I’m so grateful I found Stephanie!
Sierra watched our 3 cats for two weeks, she is the best and it was such a relief while we were gone to have somebody we trusted watching and taking care of our cats. Sierra is friendly, professional, flexible, and was the best with our cats. Throughout the entire process, Sierra responded quickly to all of our messages and questions. For each visit we received great updates, and pictures of our cats. It was a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of by somebody who truly cared, and someone that we could trust! Our situation with our 3 cats was a lot of work with all the maintenance of the food, water and liter, along with our cat that has FIV and was injured and needed extra care and monitoring. On top of that, there were some last minute changes with our setup that Sierra handled easily too. We would absolutely book Sierra again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter!
