About: Hi! I’m Diane, and I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years. I’ve had pets of my own for most of my life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of play and patience to older pets who would rather have a slower walk and some company on the couch. I genuinely love animals and tend to treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, very attentive to their routines and behavior, and I’m more than happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for pet care throughout the day and evening. Whether you need an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon playtime, evening feeding, or overnight care, I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crates, medications, doors/gates, and any house rules you have. I’m also very mindful of body language and never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. Their safety and comfort always come first, along with respecting your home while I’m there.

About: I’ve always been around animals since I was little, living on a small farm and growing up taking in four cats of my own! I currently work at home as an artist, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate during the summer until school starts back up for my son. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of animals, knowing how to handle them, play, feed and clean! Very respectful of your pet’s personality.

About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: I’ve never known life without a furry friend by my side! Growing up, my family always had pets of our own and regularly fostered dogs and cats from our local animal shelter. Through fostering, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds, from energetic, playful pups to shy animals who need a little extra patience and love. I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and caring for pets has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I recently graduated from college and moved to a new city to begin my career. For the first time, I don’t have a pet of my own, and I miss having animals around! Pet sitting is the perfect opportunity for me to share that love while giving pet parents peace of mind. I’m responsible, dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. You can also count on plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! I currently work in sales, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate different pet care needs throughout the week. I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks, playtime, and quality time with your furry friends into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to! I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! I’m very respectful of others’ homes and always make sure to leave spaces just as clean as I found them. I carefully follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. Having grown up fostering animals, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind!

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

I am happy to feed, crate, play with, walk, and let out any animals that you may have. I travel with some enrichment toys as well!

About: I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, and their welfare and enrichment is extremely important to me. I have multiple years of experience with newborn kittens and puppies, as well as senior animals. I know how to administer medication, and well as emergency procedures such as CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick visits. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. I’m very mindful of their behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in mood, appetite, or health. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. After visits, I double-check doors, gates, and anything related to your pet’s safety. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for, and for you to feel completely comfortable trusting me in your home.

Vizslas are notoriously aloof and skeptical with new people. Moose is also currently in his angsty tween stage. We had a few previous meetings and greets where he decided he wasn’t a good match with the prospective dog walkers. Jordan arrived on time dressed both professionally and appropriately for a first meeting and walk with a high energy dog. She took the time to introduce herself, meet and bond with Moose, and was very easy to get along with and knowledgeable about not only working dogs but also the Rover program itself. She immediately put both myself and moose at ease. She spent time in the back yard playing fetch with him (he tends to make you feel like you’re an automatic tennis ball thrower) and then took him for a nice walk. She quickly learned his hand signals and Dutch and English voice commands. He was very disappointed to see his new friend go and is looking forward to his next adventure with her- as he has been missing his daily runs with me and now has a new awesome exercise buddy! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!

I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of.
