Dog Sitting Rock Tavern

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay overnight with their pets while away. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, senior dogs, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, so I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for the LSAT, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they can feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I’m responsible, communicative, and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I have been responsibly taking care of my dogs and cats on a daily basis. I have experience with a variety of dogs at all different ages. I’m also familiar with dogs who need special accommodations for medical conditions. I wholeheartedly love animals and would provide the utmost care to your pets that I would want for my own from a sitter. My schedule changes week to week, but generally I can be available in the morning, afternoon or evenings. Feel free to message about dates you need someone to care for your pet! I have plenty of experience dealing with animals and would want to create a safe environment for them. I would ensure that your pet is happy and cared for to the highest extent of the service. I’m happy to stick around to give your pets extra attention as well!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. From childhood to adulthood, I have been taking care of four legged family members and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Let me care for your dogs with the love that they deserve. I currently work a Monday through Friday full time job, so I am looking to book drop-in visits only on Saturdays mornings. I may expand in the future. For Saturday walks and drop-in visits, I will follow all guidelines put in place by my clients. I will always make sure my clients dogs are safe and well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: I started taking care of my family and friends pets since I was 15. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a happy pet living out their days to the fullest. Giving them everything they need and more is my top priority for my pets and yours. I’m currently working one day a week, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have experience in doggy daycares and pet sitting. For the last 2 years I have been grooming dogs and have 2 different certifications. One of those certifications being CPR certified. I have 2 dogs of my own and my purpose is to give them the best life possible! I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially when walking my dogs. I make sure not only am I safe but they are too. I pay attention to the weather and always have water on me when going out with my dogs. My pets are overly loved and taken care of and yours will be too!!

“Vicky did an awesome job caring for Bruce. She was in communication with me and sent great pictures so I had complete peace of mind. I think Bruce really liked Vicky and the feeling was mutual. I highly recommend Vicky to care for your fur baby.”

“Sammy is the absolute best in the area! She took such good care of our dog Ellie and we would use her services again in a heartbeat. We got lots of pictures of the visit, and she took her for a nice long walk. She definitely knows her stuff with dogs, and when she first met us and Ellie, she let Ellie warm up to her on her own terms and took her time. Before we knew it Ellie was curled up on her lap. We trust Sammy to watch her in the future and highly recommend all of her services! She is very flexible and accommodating as well. Very satisfied dog parents here!”

“Maritza was great with our cat, Mushki. She was consistent with showing up and with sending us pictures & short videos of our handsome guy! She did a great job caring for him while we were gone. I highly recommend her and look forward to rebooking her in the near future!”

About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!

About: I have extensive experience with caring for dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience at the local animal shelter with dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more independent or senior pets. I’m especially mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and exercise needs, and I always aim to provide consistent care that matches what pets are used to at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure I’m fully present during each visit or stay. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my time to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication needs, and house rules. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I always supervise interactions, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide constant attention during visits or stays. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being dependable, attentive, and caring at all times.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have watched all kind of pets for friends, family, and clients. Even a few lizards and hamsters! All ages are welcome from seniors (medicine included) to littles. I work full time and my husband (my pet loving partner) is home in the AM hours. We are a team of pet care. I am available to do walks in the mornings and evenings. If you pet needs a mid-day check in, my husband would LOVE to spoil your pet with attention. My home is pet friendly. We don't have a gated yard, but we love to walk and are active hikers too. In your home, I am respectful of your house and will follow any instructions you have.

“So amazing! Came and met us before the day of and notified me when she was there. Chip was a sleepy happy puppy when we got home! Definitely will use again ❤️”

About: (Please no retractable leashes, a regular leash will be provided if you don't have a regular leash) also please disclose any behavior issues first hand before walk! I have a over 25 years of experience with dogs/cats as well having my own pets and career experience. I want to welcome you and your pet to a safe and compassionate experience. I have all paws on your family companion and give full attention to their needs and service in a calm and clean/safe environment. Exercise is a great way for your pet to get rid of those extra zoomies, all while being organized to maintain a routine. I also ensure direct communication with my clients to ensure what your pets needs are met. I offer great flexibility for services that tend to my customers and clients my routines are not complex when caring for your dog. Caring for your pet is a full time job and lots of attention. That's why I have dedicated full time to caring for my pet and yours Just a heads up — I do require at least 2 days’ notice before the initial visit. I also require a meet & greet within that 2 day timeframe of services so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit for both you and your pet(s). 🐾 Feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walks, fears, triggers, aggression, emergency vet information, and house rules. Make sure you also understand how to access the home, alarm instructions. During the visit, feed pets exactly as instructed and always provide fresh water. Give dogs exercise, potty breaks, attention, and playtime while monitoring for signs of stress or illness. For cats, clean litter boxes daily, refresh food and water, and allow them to approach you comfortably. For small pets, make sure enclosures are secure and follow feeding instructions carefully. Always prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates closed, using leashes when outside, and avoiding unfamiliar animals or unsafe situations. Watch for signs of illness or injury and contact the owner if anything seems unusual.
