About: I rescued my first dog off the side of the street when I was In college! I’ll love your pet like I love My own! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was A teenager and have trained several dogs in both Dallas and NJ - basic commands and basic social etiquette. I work in higher education so I’m free all summer long to give your pet the best care possible! My availability is open until mid august and then I only work till noon Mondays through Thursdays so I’m very much at home and hanging with the pups! I have A 6 year old black lab in house- so your pup will have someone to play with (and a crate full of bark box toys!) your dog will have a chance to utilize the turf dog park in my community, go on 1.5 mile walks, and have many potty breaks as I’m home all day and night! Marco is easy going and likes all dogs - he even shares the bed! I have A fenced in turf yard with space for the animals to relax. I live In a townhome. Please note- I live in a community with breed restrictions therefore, I am Unable to take in certain dogs for boarding (I love Them all, but have to follow the rules!)

About: I’ve spent over 12 years caring for my three family dogs through every stage of life, and growing up in a pet-friendly household gave me a lifelong love for animals. I’ve also cared for and watched friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention, love, and care to make sure they feel happy, safe, and relaxed while they’re with me. I work full-time Monday–Friday, with Fridays at home, and I’m fully available on weekends. I absolutely love spending time with dogs—giving them attention, exercise, and companionship is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time, and it pairs perfectly with my love for working out and getting my steps in! Pet care lets me share that love while also earning a little extra as a young professional. Your pet’s safety and well-being is my top priority. On walks, I will keep dogs securely leashed and ensure they get exercise at a comfortable, enjoyable pace. During drop-ins, I will follow your instructions carefully for feeding, medications, and routines, providing a calm and attentive presence so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

“We used Cynthia 3 yrs ago when my brother got married so when it was my sister's turn we knew exactly who we wanted... Cynthia. She had simply asked if anything had changed. She remembered everything (which was a blessing because we forgot to inform her... lol) She was excited to see Peach and Pepper again and I knew that they were excited to see her. Thank you Cynthia for taking such good care of your babies again. ❤️”


About: Experience with reactive dogs. Have worked with abused and neglected dogs as well. Caring of all pups and will treat like my own. I have also worked with dog behavioralists before so I’m capable to handle all types of dogs. I currently have a lot of flexibility within my days to walk, check-in, and play with anyone’s pups! Mornings, afternoons, and evenings can work for me most of the time. I care and respect any boundaries you put in place in your own home. I will follow all directions left for me. I can walk your dog, crate them, play with them, feed them, etc.

“Spencer was amazing. Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was taken care of. I highly recommend using Spencer for any of your pet care!”


“Breanna is a good communicator. She also was quick to respond when I texted her. It was so nice to be able to take a day trip and know that our pup was taken care of.”


About: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 2 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 2 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.

About: I’ve been working with animals ever since I was little. My dad was a veterinarian which allowed me to learn how to provide the best care for animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and competed horses my whole life. I am very experienced and would care for your pet as if they were my own. I am very flexible and my schedule allows me to prioritize the care for the animals that I am working with. I have the summer off of graduate school and my schedule is very flexible. I have 2 dogs that are very dog friendly. However, both of them are crate trained if I needed to separate them from other dogs.

About: With over 5 years of pet care and foster experience, I am dedicated to providing your furry friends with the love, attention and exercise they need. I have an understanding of various dog breeds and their specific needs, and will ensure each walk is safe and enjoyable. While I currently do not have any dogs, I have grown up with them throughout my life and have experience with several different breeds or all different ages. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate last minute requests and ensure that every pet receives consistent and loving care. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities is seamless because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are well taken care of! I have a very spacious apartment with room for a large dog crate. My apartment complex is very dog friendly, there is a fenced in dog park as well as several walking paths that make dog walking very easy. I currently have no other pets in my home so I can provide all my attention to your pet!

“Zachary was very professional and efficient. Before the scheduled dog walks, he agreed to meet up with us and to meet our puppy, which we really appreciated! I work long night shifts and am gone for up to 13 hours. He was available to take out our active pup in the evening and also in the morning and gave me updates throughout. It was nice to know that our puppy was in great hands! We really couldn’t have asked for a better Rover experience!”

About: I have had dogs and pets my whole life and have pet watched for friends and family. I also volunteered at multiple places, one was an SPCA shelter working with dogs. Where I completed the dog handling training course required to volunteer. I have also worked at a shelter farm, with birds, caged animals and farm animals! I currently work part time so my longest shift is 3 hours. So I will have tons of time to feed, walk and play with your pet!! For boarding: I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog play yard, to play with the dogs! There is also a nature trail at the complex to walk them! I have a good amount of room for them to move around the apartment as well.


“Dana is fantastic! She came over to meet our puppy before she started walking her to get to know her routine which we so appreciated. She gives our puppy lots of love and attention and is so good to her! We know our girl is in great hands while we are away during the day!! Thanks Dana!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters? With over 10 years of experience and a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pet I care for. I grew up on a farm, so animal care has been second nature to me from a very young age. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving senior pets, and I know how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with basic training, crate routines, medication administration, and senior care—including mobility support and extra TLC for aging pets. Whether your dog needs a structured walk or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like family * I currently work Monday through Thursday, which allows me to dedicate **Fridays through Sundays fully to pet care**. During those days, I’m available *, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs—whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, or extended care. Having open availability on the weekends means I can provide consistent, attentive service without being rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending my free days caring for animals, and I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. --- Would you like to add anything about your experience or the types of pets you care for (e.g., dogs, cats, senior pets)? I can include that too! 1. Pet Sitting (In the Client’s Home) Daily Routine & Responsibilities: Follow the pet’s regular feeding, medication, and exercise schedule. Provide fresh water at all times. Clean litter boxes, cages, or yards as needed. Give affection, attention, and playtime based on the pet’s comfort level. Maintain communication with the pet owner (updates, photos, etc.). Ensure the home stays secure (locking doors, bringing in mail, etc.)

Her home is neat and clean and I would feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her for long weekends.
