About: Hi, my name is Peggi. I have been caring for dogs for the past 20 years. They add so much joy and happiness to this world. You can count on me to be patient and loving with your pup while also respecting any boundaries that you have set so they feel safe and loved while they’re away from home. Dogs with anxiety and/or shyness have a special place in my heart. It makes me happy to make sure they feel safe and secure while you're away. In addition, I primarily work from home, so I’m here to play, interact and go for walks whenever I like. I have a large fenced yard as well as a front porch that is secured- there's also a daybed for the pups to lounge on while they people watch. All pups are welcome on my sofa and bed. I also have multiple dog beds throughout my home so everyone can find their favorite spot. I have 3 small terriers of my own - Milo. Dottie and CeCe are all super loving, senior pups. They all came from shelters/rescues and they love meeting and socializing with new friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I am self-employed and work primarily from home so I’m readily available for whatever your pet needs. My schedule is flexible and I’m always willing to stop what I’m doing to disperse snuggles. My fully fenced yard is a safe and secure environment to hang out in and for play. The daybed on my front porch is large enough for all of us to pile onto. My home has plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. I’m always around to supervise all outdoor activities. Even if it’s just sunbathing 😄

“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”


“Bonnie was an incredible last minute resource for a Christmas party staycation. She responded quickly, read over the house instructions thoroughly, and showed up in a timely manner. Great communication- we’ll definitely hire her again.”


“Cleo is amazing! She took great care of the cats while we were in France and was very responsive (even with a crazy time change!) I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies 🥰”


“Audrey was able to accommodate our last-minute request for a cat sitter so we could leave for a long weekend and we felt confident that our guy was well cared for while we were gone! We got photo updates every day and could tell he was comfy and relaxed and getting plenty of pets and attention. Thank you Audrey!!”


“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!”



About: Hello! I love caring for pets, and walking dogs. I am kind and reliable and will treat your pets like my own. My experience walking dogs comes from working as a volunteer dog walker at two humane societies. This meaningful work included four training sessions covering how to handle and walk dogs appropriately. For three years, during & after Covid, I walked a healthcare worker's two dogs three times a week. I helped her pups overcome some anxiety issues, and they loved our walks. See the dog owner's review for more information. In my home, I have two cats. I understand how important it is to build trust with your pets to help them feel comfortable and secure. Know that I will take care of your family members the way I would want someone to take care of mine. Your pet will enjoy long walks with me, and you will be able to rest easy knowing I'm on the job. Thanks for your time! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for daily walks with your dog in and around South Waterfront. Please reach out for more details. I take great care to make sure your pet will be. comfortable and safe on our walks. I will take great care to make sure your dog feels comfortable on our walks. I am currently not boarding dogs overnight.

About: My experience comes from adopting rescue dogs and being an animal person. Every dog is unique, I'm attentive and perceptive to the environment and each dog's needs allowing me to respond and distract or get distance if needed. This summer I am working on writing my dissertation. My schedule is flexible with windows of time I can come by for a walk or drop in visit. I will walk, play, and hang out with your fur baby depending on their needs. Let's talk about your routines and pup's needs and what will give you peace of mind and make your life easier.

“Ann was great! Flexible, communicative, took cute pics of our kitties :), and came twice a day to hang out with them. Kept an extra eye on one who was just over a urinary blockage. Will definitely use her again.”

Emily S.
“Emily S. is a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my dog and cats while I was away on business for two weeks. She kept my pets on their standard routines, and sent me daily updates and photos. I look forward to having Emily as a pet sitter again.”


Wynn S.
“Wynn walked my dog, Judy, weekly for a year and it was always Judy's favorite day of the week. I would hire them again any time I need the help. Judy is a high energy Australian Cattle Dog and chihuahua mix, so she requires diligence and a lot of exercise. Wynn is definitely the right friend for Judy! Wynn is playful and attentive, and Judy was always exhausted and happy when they returned from walks. I don't trust anyone to take her out because even though she is leash trained, she is too fast and too smart for her own good and has some boundary issues. They even have their own ACD mix (Carl) that requires a lot of work, so they understand how to keep a dog happy.”
