“Kurt walked Henry and Hudson every day for 6 weeks and was amazing with them. They are farm dogs most of the year and not perfect on a leash. But within a day or two with Kurt they became model citizens ! They looked forward to their time with him every day. Kurt was 100% reliable and really a pleasure to see every day. 5 stars!”
“James was absolutely fantastic with my dog. He walked him, fed him, made sure he felt comfortable, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the visit. Sherman is a large, high energy dog and James handled him with ease. It can be stressful being away from your dog, but James completely eased my mind. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly took the time to make my dog feel safe and comfortable. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for someone trustworthy. Thank you, James!”
About: I have been an animal lover all my life! I enjoy caring for other people’s animals which I have been doing for over five years, along with four years working in a doggy day care and six years as a vet assistant. I have been with one specific dog family for the past 9 years and even helped the dog give birth! I am also well versed in and enjoy reptiles as well as aquatic animals! Nothing is more special to me than the joy animals bring into my life and the way they can make you see the brighter side of things while still being able to have fun. I am also able and certified to administer medication and give injections if needed. I have the experience, knowledge, and the heart to give your animal the best care they need. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, even just for a little while. I want to make it easier for all the pet owners to focus on their vacation or outings without the added stress. You will never be disappointed with my services. My goal is to keep you and your animal happy at all times! I am available all day at any time and would love to help out with any needs you require! Hope to hear from you soon! I am always careful when it comes to your pets. I make sure they are as comfortable as possible with me when you’re not home!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have rescued and cared for several over the years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs, including administering oral medications and injections. My wife is a great support and shares the same passion for animals. She’s a marine biologist and she's worked in animal hospitals, farms, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, adding another layer of knowledge and experience to the care we provide. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m an Athletic Trainer and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. My wife has a flexible work schedule and is home most of the time. Between the two of us, someone is almost always home, so dogs are rarely left alone for more than two hours. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives plenty of individualized attention, playtime, affection, and care throughout the day. My home is quiet, fully fenced, and designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. There are no children or resident pets, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, have clean dog beds throughout the house, and can even sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to at home. I send daily photo and video updates, and you’re always welcome to message me anytime. Several veterinary hospitals and clinics are within a 5-minute drive if veterinary care is ever needed.
About: Licensed veterinary technician with emergency medicine, dog training, feline behavior handling, and preventative care experience, providing compassionate, reliable pet care focused on safety and comfort. I work full-time 12-hour shifts in a veterinary ER, but I love dedicating additional time in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter care, medication if needed, and companionship, while keeping the home clean and secure. I provide regular updates with pics and video for peace of mind.
“Amazing attention to detail. Our little one loves walk times. She gets such good care. Would highly recommend. Michael and Lisa love what they do and they do it amazingly!!!”
“Unfortunately with my job they’ve been making me work 12 hour days… I am so thankful for the help that you have given me! Lola is my baby and has been by my side for nine years! Thank you for making this process so much easier!!!”
About: I’m the person that family and friends go to when they want advice on how to teach dogs fun tricks. Also, I’m really good at telling dogs breeds apart which is fun when I’m out. I work part time on weekends and have classes early in the morning. So the rest of my time can be spent with your babies aka your pets. I have a big backyard that’s fenced in and all three of my dogs don't care for other dogs. As my two newest are shelter dogs I wont accept pets at my home for the time being. Im very patient with animals as I’m the one that cares for my dogs. I treat animals almost similarly to children as thats how I see my own.
About: Throughout my life, we've always had dogs in the house and, as I’ve gotten older, there was definitely a period where it seemed more like a zoo than a human household with all of our rescues. When I was in high school, I fell in love with training dogs and really never wanted to do anything else. Over the years, I’ve made every effort to immerse myself in the field through work at Petco and multiple daycares, as a volunteer at Kent Animal Shelter, as a student with the Animal Behavior College, becoming a CPDT, opening my own business, and tentatively dipping my toes into the grooming aspect of it all as well. Hopefully, as time goes on, I can continue to pursue my dog training career as a multifaceted professional and expand more fully into my own business. I run my own multifaceted pet services business offering a variety of options from training and boarding to walking and photography, so my whole day circulates around pet-related bookings and activities. I live on half an acre of land with a fully fenced in yard, separate attached dog run, and plenty of space to run! We do a perimeter check twice daily to make sure the fencing is secure and the grounds are meeting our standards of cleanliness. I can easily crate dogs if that’s what their paw-rents request, but also have no problem allowing them to roam through the house if that’s what they’re accustomed to. I do have a few pups of my own, but they’re the friendliest guys you’ll ever meet — one is actually a quadriplegic! Everyone is in their own space while eating and stay separated for about an hour following meals to allow food to digest. Let me know if there are any other accommodations your pet needs!

From walking and playing I am full of energy. I currently have my own dachshund pitbull mix puppy so I also have experience with young pups. We just adopted her after our senior pup (15.5 years old) passed. He was a love and left a whole in our hearts only another furbaby could help heal. I am retired and fully available to help take care of your pups! My hours are super flexible so hopefully that makes life easier on your schedule I have lots of experience and can either play or walk your pup. Whether it be on a leash for a fun walk or just play time in the yard. Your dog and I will have tons of fun

About: Hi! I’m Cara, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet like they’re one of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I currently provide care for small to medium-sized dogs over one year old, as well as cats. I’m not accepting puppies under one year or large-breed dogs at this time. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently available all day Monday through Wednesday and Friday for dog walks and drop-in visits. My schedule is flexible on those days, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I’m currently focusing exclusively on walks and drop-ins so I can give each pet plenty of time and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is in good hands.
About: I’ve owned and cared for four dogs of my own, giving each one consistent love, structure, and attention. I regularly take shelter dogs out for walks, playtime, toys, and treats to brighten their day. I’ve been a dog-lover since I was young, and I often dogsit for friends and family, giving every pup the same patient, reliable care I give my own. I work full time, but I’m consistently available every day between 4pm and 7pm. That window fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m always ready for walks, drop-ins, or evening care during those hours. Safety and trust are always my first priorities. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer; feeding, water, meds, or crate needs included. I keep a close eye on gates, doors, and leashes, and I make sure every walk is calm, controlled, and enjoyable. I always send updates, photos, and notes so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Your pet gets my full attention, patience, and care every visit.
“Brett was absolutely amazing with our boy, Tex. I had to go away for a weekend and the person I had set up to walk Tex had to leave town (my fiance was able to care for him but is diabled so couldn't walk him) so I was in a bind. I signed up on Rover and found Brett. She met with Tex before I left and she was amazing. THEN...another friend who was going to walk Tex, suddenly became sick and had to cancel a few walks (I was already 8hrs away and panicking). Brett stepped in last minute and covered those walks too! I don't know what I would've done without her!”

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
