About: Overall I love watching and playing with animals, training is always a plus, allowing them to learn but also allows them to get energy out. I enjoy seeing progression in tricks and behavior. There isn’t a dog or cat that I have disliked. I am currently working a full time job as a Paralegal but would like to make a little extra money, I love all types of animals and thought this would be perfect. I get to see new dogs and meet new people. On weekends I am usually available throughout the day. I currently have three dogs, two hunting dogs and one black lab. My experience with high energy dogs is super vast, in both training and also exercise. I am a loving animal parent but also know how to lead them into learning new tricks or fixing behavior issues.

“Ivy took care of my sweet bunny, Christmas week. She was very prompt and took great care. Awesome updates and pictures, I would absolutely use her for my pet care again.”


About: I’ve been an animal love my whole life and I am able to connect with dogs easily and quickly. I’ve worked with many kinds of dogs with different personalities so I can comfortably say I know how to handle most dogs, and I am willing to adapt to special needs or anything else to keep your pup comfortable and happy. I love getting out and getting some excercise so I am able to do longer walks or even run with your pup as well. I treat every dog I watch even better than I would my own pup, so you can be sure your pup is in the best hands. Thanks for your time and have a good day. I’m currently working full time Tuesday-Saturday 7 am to 4pm, so I would be able to care for your dog before work and after work, and they’d have my full attention Sunday and Monday. When I am dog sitting and watching a dog in a clients home, I like to leave the house how I found it. So in addition to watching you pup, watering plants, whatever else you may need, you can be assured you’ll come home to a nice clean home.

About: I currently live in a two downstair bedroom apartment with access to the patio and yard. I currently have one dog, a Norwegian Elkhound. We go for about 1hrs walks daily and go out hiking almost every weekend. I have experience with all sizes (small, medium, large, x-large). I also babysat several of my friends' dogs at my apartment and I have also gone to their houses to dog sit. I have also done multiple walks with multiple dogs. I am willing to walk multiple dogs, go to someone's house to house sit/ dog sit, and willing to dog sit overnight for multiple days. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns for me. I work full time from 8-5 M-F. But I'll sometimes come home for lunch and if required I can always come home to take the dog out. I can also dog walk during the day as I use it for my lunch time. I try to make them as comfortable as I can. If staying with me, I have multiple dog beds, water bowls, and toys they can use. I have a big crate if that is needed. I also have gates to block off areas that they get into or where they don't need to be in. I do live downstairs and access to the patio and yard. I always leash them if we are going out this way since it isn't fenced.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 8 and I absolutely enjoy the commitment! I’ve looked after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and goats. Many of my neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I don’t see it as a chore, but rather an outlet for responsibility and comfort! I am off of school right now, I am available to take care of and check on your animals anytime. My weekdays and weekends are equally free, so any days work! I will be extremely attentive to your animals and the places they spend the most time, such as outside or where they eat. I’ll make sure to be familiar with your home and my surroundings so that everyone is comfortable!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always had at least three dogs in my house, ranging from small dogs to bigger dogs, like labs and German shepherds. I work as a pre-k teaching assistant, and now that summer is here, my schedule is wide open! I partake in barre classes weekly, so I would be gone for a little over an hour at most. Unfortunately, my current residence does not allow for pets. If my residence changes in the near future, I will gladly have pets in my apartment.

“Thank you soo much for helping us with our kitties while we were away! You did such a wonderful job keeping us updated and we really looked forward to those rover cards after each visit. The kitties were well cared for and we soo appreciate that!”


“Wendy really helped us out on very short notice. We were stuck out of town and I reached out on very short notice and she was able to stop by and feed and care for my kitties. Thank you Wendy!”


“Skylar was a fantastic cat sitter! She was super flexible with timing, making the whole process stress-free. Communication was easy and smooth, and I always felt reassured knowing my cats were well cared for. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating pet sitter! I will be calling her again!”

Frankie D.
“Frankie is the best dog sitter/caregiver anyone could ever ask for. He was more than accommodating for me and my pet. My fur baby gets really anxious when I'm not around for more than a day. When I first left her in the hands of Frankie I was nervous on how she would do but lo and behold she did amazing! I can say Frankie is really good at catering to the individual needs of what a pet/ dog really needs. He was really intuitive with my dogs mood and when I came home she was happy and not anxious like she usually is. Bonus points that my home was exactly how I left it !”
