About: I am an animal lover through and through, and started dog sitting at 15! I have been a reliable and caring pet sitter for friends and family members for many years. A few activities I love are playing fetch, going on walks and of course, snuggling! I’m experienced in giving medication to dogs and caring for senior pets. I have two cats of my own to snuggle, and two dogs at my parents house I often visit! I am currently working part time and would love to fill my schedule with dog walks or pet sitting during the summer! I enjoy living an active lifestyle as I go on hikes and bike rides during my free time. I have two cats at my own home so would not be able to take in animals. I look forward to being able to care for pets in their own home.
“Liset was so patient with my dog! Maple was a little bit nervous and Liset took the time to soothe her and give her treats before taking her for her walk. Would definitely book again😊”
About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”
“Dorothy was great! Very friendly and good with Luna. She sent pictures during each walk so I could see my pup was getting attention! I would definitely book her again!”
“Autumn was such a huge help while I was working. She made sure Koda went on good walks and spent the time to come meet us before we started walking! She is on time and great with animals”
About: I grew up in a house always filled with the tippy taps of paws on the hardwood floor. Back in Texas, my goofy golden doodle Ozzy is staying with my family while I study musical theatre at Wright State. I have experience house sitting my friends dogs and cats, stopping by and giving them love throughout the day and getting them to eat their breakfast-even when they want to be stubborn because their mom isn’t home. I’d love to stop by and give your pet some love! I provide house sitting, drop in, and walking services. I am available in the mornings M-TR for drop ins and dog walking, F-Su I am available to house sit, walk, or drop in all day. When house sitting I can stop by 3-4 times per day to feed, play with, love on, walk, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Services are catered to each pet, if you have pet who would rather sleep than play, I’ll still stay a while to give them company. If desired I’ll snap a pic of your adorable pet and send it to you before I lock up and return later in the day.

About: I grew up around dogs and fostering dogs. When I got married my husband and I got a precious dog of our own. I have loved training him and getting to know his personality. I’m currently finishing my degree at home so I’m available at all times of the day to check on or take care of your dog!

About: Hi, I’m Ciera! My journey into pet care started with my own dog—an energetic, stubborn little pup who taught me more about patience, communication, and unconditional love than I ever expected. That experience sparked a deeper passion for understanding dogs and helping them feel confident, happy, and understood. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments—offering walks, basic obedience training, and working in multiple Pet resorts. Ruffinement was born from the idea that pet care can be both playful and polished. I believe in creating routines that feel good for dogs and look great for their humans. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, a little extra guidance, or just someone who truly gets them, I’m here to help make every step count. I'm currently working part-time at a pet resort, but that does not stop me from being available for check-ins or afternoon walks with your pet. I am available after 3 PM on Weekdays, and available 11 AM-6 PM on Weekends. I have 10 years of experience handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am well-versed in canine body language, behavior, and dog walking etiquette. I would love to pamper your pet with walkies and play!

Would absolutely trust him with any of my animals.”

Liset is AMAZING! She has been an absolute life-saver. This was my first time using Rover and I was initially nervous, but Liset has made everything so easy. She helps me with walks twice a week and has never disappointed. If you’re looking for someone who will take excellent care of your fur baby- you’ve found her! Thank you LISET!!!
