About: I’m a professional pet sitter and Fear Free Certified. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, including seniors, reactive dogs, and those needing medication support. I’m trained in giving injections, oral medications and inhalers, and I also have rabbit care training and experience with small pets. I limit Rover bookings to ensure each pet receives attentive, personalized care. My goal is to provide low-stress, high-quality experiences rooted in patience, trust, and compassion. For overnight stays, I arrive between 6–8 PM and stay 12 hours to cover the evening, night, and morning routines. I also offer one 30-minute mid-day drop-in visit or walk upon request for overnight clients. For standalone drop-in visits or dog walks, I have more flexibility throughout the day and will do my best to accommodate preferred timing. For boarding in my home, I work from home but do come and go during the day for pet visits and meetings. I only accept dogs on a case-by-case basis because I have five cats. If accepted, we’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing daily enrichment, affection, and supervision. I follow Fear Free principles to provide a safe, calm environment where pets can thrive. I avoid using or supporting tools that increase fear, anxiety, or stress — such as shock collars or electric fencing. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible while maintaining a peaceful, respectful environment. In my home, we only board dogs on a case-by-case basis due to having five cats, and I supervise all interactions carefully. Your pet’s emotional well-being and safety are always my top priorities.

“We hired Josh for some dog walking. He was very good at calming down our high energy dogs to put leashes on, arrived on time, and gave full 30 minute walks. He also followed some strict rules about our gate unfailingly.”


“Gage is very nice, obviously loves dogs and arrives on time. Our dog looked forward to seeing him each morning. We will definitely ask for his services again.”


“Megan did a good job with my dog. Megan came on time for each walk and although Bella was hesitant, at first, to go with someone she didn’t know, it didn’t take long for her to feel comfortable with Megan.”

About: Being a pet sitter was my first job growing up and I always grew up with dog’s and animals in the house. I am on the equestrian team at Auburn so I am an animal lover through and through. I am currently a student-athlete but over break have tons of free time every day. Once classes starts, my availability won’t be as much but still pretty often. I have a large crate for dogs that cannot be left alone and have a dog of my own but can easily be separated if needed.

About: I am gentle with dogs and love to get to see their personalities come through. I’ve been around a dog in my home since I was 9 years old. I work a hybrid work schedule that allows flexibility for dog walking around lunch time and the afternoons and evenings. I prefer the Germantown area. I love dogs and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I will put safety first and look forward to getting to know your dog!

About: I love animals. Let me love yours! I will do whatever it takes to make you feel at peace when you are apart from them. I have one 25 lb Boston Terrier who has been by my side and in my arms through thick and thin! I have owned, raised, and administered medication (the eye, a shot, topically, orally) animals of all kinds (sheep, chickens, dogs, cats, hamster, fish, etc.). To not mislead, I don't have any professional certifications but experience has taught me a lot! For example, dealing with pink eye in my sheep, cleaning up days of diarrhea, quarantining a chicken, bottle feeding in intervals throughout the night, and much more-and those were ALL pet related! Regarding your pet's care, I will follow your instructions with great diligence. I have time and patience for frequent potty breaks, accidents, elderly dogs, and those who need lots of activity. I have no problem cleaning up messes. I work part time so I'm free to take care of your pet before and after work and on my days off. My days off vary. I am happy to give your pet as many walks ans you wish and would love to play with them! I give my dog medication twice a day.

About: We have both grown up with animals. Alyssa has grown up with dogs - her family has 2 English Springer Spaniels. She have been asked to dog-sit by friends and family! Brandon grew up with dogs, cats, and even birds! We currently do not have any animals of my own but are looking to get a Boykin Spaniel puppy next year! Our weekends are always free to play with the animals when needed. Friday - we are off work at 1pm so we're available anytime after that. During the week days, we work until 5. We can crate if needed in our home. We live in an apartment that has a dog park as well! We strongly believe animals shouldn’t be in the crate all day. They deserve so much love and time to play! I’ll make sure to spend extra time with them and give them lots of love and attention! Our weekends are always free to play with the animals when needed. Friday - we are off work at 1pm so we're available anytime after that. During the week days, we work until 5. We live in an apartment complex that is surrounded by great walking areas and a dog park. When we are not home or during the night we would prefer the dog to be in a crate. At your home, we will either take on walks or let them play in the fenced yard - depending on your preference!

Anna W.
“Anna is trustworthy, dependable, compassionate, and loving. She cared for my animals (2 dogs and cat) just like they were her own. Even despite the complicated situation with my senior dog who had a strict medication schedule accompanied by side effects of the medication causing her to need to go out more frequently to potty, Anna was able to meet her needs with love and compassion. Anna is very active and loves to exercise animals who are willing and able. If your dog like long walks, she actually enjoys doing that with animals. If you dog, is more limited with mobility like my senior dog, she will match their energy needs. She is a wonderful pet mom herself and takes great care of her own animals as well. She is responsible by making sure that her animals are up to date with all veterinary visits and preventative treatments. She even has spent a great deal of time making her animals homemade food because she cares so much. I won’t hesitate to ask her again if I need help with my pets in the future.”
