“Barbara was very loving and attentive to Burnie! She went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable leaving him. She communicated often with detailed texts and photos. I would definitely ask her again!”


“Thank you for taking such good care of the pups for us! We very much appreciated the communication and the photos. You put our mind at ease while we were away! Looking forward to working with you again!”


About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve enjoyed taking care of my family and friend's pets since I was around 14. I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding place for over a year, taking care of up to around one hundred dogs a day. I often stayed overnight there to make sure they were all doing good. Including all dogs from young to old and dogs with disabilities, illnesses, etc. With this experience taking care of one dog to a couple dogs will be no problem for me and I’ll have a great time doing it! I’m currently in college and most of my classes are online. I’d be more than happy to look after your pups while working on assignments on my laptop. Your dogs will be my first priority and I’ll still have plenty of time to play, go on walks and give them a ton of attention! I’m more than happy to follow whatever schedule your dog is used to with feeding times, meds, etc. and any other particular things I can do make them happy! Along with being respectful to your home and all the rules you have, including taking care of household duties like taking out the trash before pickup and etc.

“Nicole had wonderful communication! We will definitely be using her again. She was very caring and Rowdy immediately was wagging his tail when he saw her. We had total peace of mind that Rowdy and our house were in the best care. :) Thank you!”


About: Hi there, my name is Annie and I truly love dogs. I grew up in a house where we always had at least two pups to play with and care for. I learned at a young age what it meant to be responsible for a pet and I've loved every minute of that responsibility. I believe that the best way to care for a dog is to take the time to understand their own unique personality and needs, which will allow me to customize their stay accordingly. My current pet situation is caring for our two dogs - a spunky 16 year old, 20lb mutt and a loving 9 year old Lab mix, while keeping two toddlers entertained! I'm excited for the opportunity to meet and care for your 4-legged friend! I currently work part-time while taking care of our two toddlers. I'm expected to be in the office one day a week but the day can vary as needed. We have a large fenced in yard. Our senior dog loves sniffing the perimeter, while the other dog does her business and hurries back inside. I'm used to dogs having different needs!

About: I am an experienced and trustworthy pet-sitter, dog walker, and animal trainer. With an education that qualifies me as a certified reward-based dog trainer with the skills and talent needed to train anything from service dogs to search and rescue dogs, you can expect nothing less than the best care for your fur-babies from me. As a Doordash driver, my schedule is very flexible and I can find the time for you and your babies just about any day. Let's talk! When in a client's home, I will be sure to stay alert and mindful as always. I can offer play, feeding, treats, pets, cuddles, brushing, and more! I am a firm believer that animals deserve the greatest care possible, and will do what I can to provide that top-notch care and attention, made even more effective with my ability to read the body language of animals.

About: I have experience in ALL animals even farm animals. I have loved animals from a very young age. Animals are my specialty. There is nothing I love more. I have full time availability to care for your pets! I work part time but pets are allowed at my work if necessary. My neighborhood is pet friendly and I have a fenced yard with puppy panels for small animals. Animal care makes me happy and i’m available for any of your needs. I have a fenced yard and a nice pet friendly neighborhood to go on walks. I can come to my clients home as well and take them for walks or feed and water them. I am available to do anything.

About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!

“We love Mary! We have two old dogs who need extra attention, and a third who is high energy. Mary takes fantastic care of them! We highly recommend her! Thank you, Mary, for taking such great care of our hounds!”


About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats as long as I can remember. My family and friends ask me to help them out all time because they know they can trust me to love and care for their fur babies ❤️ I love walking my neighborhood and the local parks and would love for your dog to join me! I have two older boys who also love dogs and would give them lots of love too! I plan on substitute teaching part time and take on smaller painting jobs in my community but I will be in and out of my home during those times to check on the fur babies. I have a lot of down time in the winter & summer when I would be home often. I love to walk so your dog can come with me! I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play in that backs up to private woods so it’s peaceful. I have a crate if needed.


“Alicia is very flexible and professional with us. Alicia communicates with us and we've had all great experiences with her. She is great with the cats. They can be pretty timid, but she is winning them over. I'm overjoyed that we found her on Rover. She's wonderful!”


About: I am currently in a living situation where I can’t have my own pets so trust and believe I will treat your fur children like my own babies! I work part time, so not only do I need the extra income but I but have quite a bit of time and love to give to your fur babies! I only sit your fur babies in their own environments, so they feel safe and know where all their familiar things are while you are gone. If they are down for a ride I am more than willing to safely transport them with me on my errands.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.

“We just loved how easy this was. She was dependable and very kind. Kitchi seemed to love her from the pics we saw. It made our trip so much easier and we had a great time knowing Kitchi was in good hands. Excellent service! Thanks!!”

About: I come with a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, great customer service experience and a trustworthy and hard working care provider who will make sure your pets are cared for, loved, fed, and happy as well as cared extras like bringing in the Mail, watering plants or other tasks that may be needed while you are away. You are in good hands. I’m a college student and I run my own business as well as work a part time job. I will fit your pets in around my schedule/commitments and routine which may look different daily. I am willing to consider requests but my rates are not set for 24 hours of continuous coverage.
