About: I’ve had various pets in the span of my life including cats,dogs,hamsters,gerbils, guinea pigs,fish, and frogs. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and have experience working in a vet clinic for 3 years, as well as an animal sanctuary. I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family, and have cared for blind and diabetic dogs, as well as ones with behavioral issues. One of my cats has separation anxiety, and I know what it’s like to worry and not want to leave your babies alone. I will give them plenty of love and entertain them while you’re away! And as I currently don’t own a dog, I would love nothing more than a furry friend to spend time with! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m typically available to check in on your pet up to 3 times a day. As a pet owner myself, I understand worrying about them while being away. I’m a very reliable person that would give the upmost care and love for your baby. I would love to send updates and pictures to you often to give you peace of mind! I’m also very willing to do the small household chores like cleaning cages/litter boxes/ any messes they may make.
About: With experience handling both senior and energetic pups, I offer tailored care for all ages. Trustworthy, attentive, and loving—your pets are in good paws! My household went from seasoned with the calm, wise presence of my 10-year-old Rottweiler mix to lively with the addition of a playful Great Pyrenees puppy, just last year! With my part-time job schedule, I'm fully available to cater to your pets' needs, offering house-sitting, walking, and doggy-sitting services throughout the week, and most weekends! In your home, I will meticulously follow all instructions provided, ensuring your pets receive optimal care, while also showering them with cuddles and playful fun!
“Brandon was excellent with our 3 dogs. He was consistent with his visits, communications and photos. Our dogs really took a liking to him and we felt comfortable in Brandon's care, even while we were very far away.”
“Bobbie took great care of our dog and Kitty! Our animals usually dont immediately take to strangers, and even won't eat. Not with Bobbie! They took to her immediately and ate normally the entire week we were gone! We highly recommend her!”

About: I treat every dog like they're my own; patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. I'm reliable and communicative, so you'll always know how your pup is doing while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I take the time to learn each dog's individual routine and quirks rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Weekends are when I'm fully available and focused on pet care; no rushing between other commitments. That means consistent walk times, unhurried playtime, and someone who's actually present rather than checking the clock. If you need reliable dog walks or drop-in visits, that's exactly the window I keep open." For drop-in visits, I follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible which includes feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you leave, so there's minimal disruption while you're away. I always do a quick check of food/water and make sure the home is secure before I leave. For walks, I go at your dog's pace rather than rushing, and I'm attentive to their comfort, always checking for signs of overheating, giving water breaks, and using leash/collar setups you're comfortable with. I keep you updated with the Rover app so you know how each visit went
“Mckenzie is amazing! She took very good care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is a senior dog and she administered the eye medications without any problems. She sent me detailed descriptions of both of her visits and included several photos. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been working with dogs since I was 12 years old, I’ve been walking, grooming, feeding, and everything in between for 6 years, I also have experience with 6 week old puppies, as I watched one all day and overnight for months. I’m currently in school, but my schedule still offers plenty of flexibility throughout the week! I do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and work with owners to find walk times that fit both of our schedules. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance and provide reliable, consistent care for your pets! I have 3 crate trained dogs, 2 medium, 1 small, I feed them, groom them, walk them, and let them outside to our fenced backyard regularly. We also have plenty of dog toys and space for them to play.
“Danielle is outstanding! She was so attentive to my dogs and their extra needs! She goes above and beyond doing things to make sure the house is clean and mail is brought in. She left me notes for every visit and lots of photos, that are frankly some of the best pics of the dogs I have! I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
“Madiha was an amazing sitter, better than what we could have asked for. There were some hiccups on our end with the logistics and she was patient and understanding with us till we had it resolved. She took very good care of our two cats and went above and beyond to care for them, made sure their needs were met and they had company during our time away. She asked all the right questions and made sure she knew the best way to take care of our cats according to their own personalities. We highly recommend her for taking care of your pets and you will definitely have a peace of mind while you're away that your pets are in good hands!”
About: Hi! My name is Tess, and I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even some small pets. I’m passionate about making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that’s through walks, playtime, or just some calm company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have an open schedule daily! My baby girl loves to be outside and would enjoy walks with your animals or just a regular drop-in! I have a fenced in backyard and a dog of my own. I will keep my dog separate from yours since she can be reactive to other animals. I’ll give your pet all the loving and care that I would give to my dog!
About: I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I cared for dogs by bathing them, cleaning their ears, trimming their nails, drying and brushing them. This taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s comfort and safety. As a stay at home mom I have a flexible schedule that lets me provide dependable pet care during the week. I occasionally help my mom for a few hours, but have plenty of time for walks and visits. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. It also gives me a nice way to earn extra income while doing something I love I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all instructions carefully, keep pets safe at all times and communicate promptly if any concerns arise.
“Jaya took Exception care of our pup while we were away . She was on time and sent us pics and videos every day . It was such a relief to know he is being taken care of so well while we are away.”
About: I have been the main sitter for multiple friends a family for years. I have always loved dogs! I love getting to know their different personalities! I have had many dogs my self and I know how stressful it can be making sure they are taken care of when you are gone! I work from home and have flexibility to be able to work from anywhere, which gives the flexibility to be able to do pet sitting! I live in an apartment that has a dog play area to let them run! I normally take walks on my breaks anyway so helping someone out walking and playing is accessible multiple times. If I was to watch at a clients home, I would be able to be there during work hours so your fur babies would be taken care of at your usual routine or more if wanted!

Kelly is amazing. My pups are pretty quirky girls and she works perfectly w them. Her communication is top tier and puts me at ease when having to leave the pups. Weather was bad on this last one and she worked ro make sure I knew and made sure the girls were ok. Thank you !
Emily has been so great with our babies! We have a sweet senior and a very playful puppy. She has been a great help for us. Both me and my husband work full time jobs and have a pretty busy schedule. Emily has definitely relieved a lot of our worries by being able to give our babies potty and playtime breaks at very random times and days. We will most definitely continue to reach out to her. Thanks Emily!
Carly took great care of our new puppy Remy. He is definitely high energy and deep in him shark phase. But that did not phase her. Our old lady Gemma is a sweetheart and Carly also gave her some love and attention. Will most definitely be contacting Carly again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to me. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!
If you need someone that’s truly gonna treat your puppies like his own then you need to look no further! He made sure to follow all of our instructions to a T and even when we had some last-minute changes was quick to adapt! 100/10 book now you won’t regret it!

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
