“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

“Brianna watched my dog in my house and she eased my anxiety so much! She was constantly sending updates and pictures! She took her on car rides and walks every day! I will definitely be using her again and definitely would recommend her!”


About: My household has always been home to animals! From fish and guinea pigs to cats and dogs I’ve always treated all my pets with unconditional love. From a young age I would help friends and family with their animals and the past couple years I’ve been consistently pet sitting for a number of families. I’d love to add your pet to my circle of furry friends! I’m a college student that is 100% online so I have a lot of flexibility! I understand that some pets need a little more care than others! Not only will I give your pets the best care, I will make sure to respect your home - wether it’s stopping in to take your dogs on a quick walk or staying a few days while you’re gone! I currently have a dog and two cats in the home I live in, so things like walks, scheduled feeding times, allergy meds, and lots of treats are no strangers to me.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!

About: Hey friends! I have 11 years of veterinary practice background. I have worked and volunteered in shelter environments, wildlife rehabilitation, emergency, every-day and behavior clinics and in compounding pharmacies. I offer a variety of services: Pet sitting: (overnight stays and daily visitations) Dog walking: 30 and 60 minute walks. Transportation services. My schedule is flexible and I am able to accommodate *most* last minute requests. I can offer a daily schedule at the same time and place as well as over night bookings. I will leave a daily recap of my visit with your family member(s), as well as images and let you know how our interaction went.

“We loved Jana! She was kind, courteous and polite always. She sent us lots of pictures and kept in communication with us. Our home was clean and she even stripped the bed of the linens. 10/10 would/will call her again!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)

About: Your pets will have a fenced back yard to play in! I offer in house boarding So your pet doesn’t have to sleep on a hard floor and be in a kennel. Your pet will be treated as though they are one of my own. If they sleep with you they sleep with me! They are my first priority! Come on out and do a meet and greet! Pet boarding is my biggest priority. Your pet will have all the attention, fun time and proper care they need during their visit no matter how long their visit is. I care for the pets I sit as though their own owner is caring for them. If they have food and water in front of them, 24/7 that will be something that they will have at my facility if they don’t and they have a different regiment that is something they will have in my facility if they have toys, beds, medication at their home that is what i will provide for them as well. If they are, or aren’t allowed on the furniture that is what i will do If they sleep in your bed with you at night they will sleep with me at night. If they go on multiple daily walks, that is what i will do. Your pet will be cared for just the way you care for them.

“Merideth is fantastic! She was very attentive, patient and kind with my shy, high maintenance dog. She communicated well, followed all instructions and requests, and my dog loves her!”


About: My family has always had a pack of dogs, varying sizes and breeds. I began walking them when I was 5. We have owned 5 Newfoundlands throughout the years so I am plenty comfortable with XL breeds. Do not be discouraged by my small size! Since many of my dogs have been rescues, I have experience with reactive, anxious dogs and medication administration. Most of my dog sitting experience also included horse farm care, with 50+ horses to care for alongside their dogs and cats. Being pregnant now, I am looking to help walk and check in on your pets while you’re away! I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets so I give my best efforts as if they are my own! I am working my own schedule around my horses so my availability is flexible for you and your pets! I will meet your needs and adjust my schedule accordingly. At a client’s home, I will follow instructions exactly and ensure we are on the same page. Whether it includes feeding times, walking path, litter cleaning, medications or crating. I will match the routine you give me! Please do share what cues and rules you want kept consistent, I will happily match you!

About: I’ve had pets in my household since I was little. I’ve taken care of family’s cats and dogs, as well as my own. I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals as young as birth up to the last moments of their lives. I’m very reliable, responsible and respectful to you, your pet and your home. I currently work full time night shift at a local nursing home (7pm-7am) I’m perfect for drop in visits during the day while you’re away at work or on a day trip! I’m off every weekend. Great for overnight stays. I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate for any needs of the client. I have a Pug, Aussie and Weimaraner living out in the country near a highway. I always take precaution and make sure my dogs have collars/harness on while outside. So making sure your dog is safe is guaranteed!

About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I always make sure they are taken care of! I have house sat and taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family who have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and play with there fur babies! I am available Tuesdays 10am-6pm, Wednesdays 9am-4pm, Thursday’s 10am-6pm, Fridays 9am-4pm and Sundays 8am-1pm. If you need me a different time any of those days please contact me and if I’m not busy I can work it into my schedule! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a lead with a leash to let your pets run on. I also have 3 friendly fur babies to keep yours company. If not comfortable with me letting them run on a lead I can gladly walk them in my big back yard and make sure your babies are safe!
