About: 🐾 PREMIUM SERVICE: Off-Leash Dog Park Excursions Want your dog to get maximum socialization and energy out? I offer dedicated 1/2 hour to 2-hour trips to local fully-fenced dog parks like Roverwest or Estabrook. This includes pick-up, drop-off, active playtime, and a fresh water break. Message me for custom booking rates! While I continue to provide these premium off-leash park excursions, I am currently opening my schedule for new recurring, daily weekday walks to provide consistent, reliable care for your pup. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I am fully comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, maintaining your exact routines, and ensuring each dog feels safe, exercised, and cared for. Because I work from home full-time, I can take your pup on potty breaks as often as needed throughout the day. My approach prioritizes calm, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and clear communication with pet parents. I am highly experienced with overnight boarding, strict feeding schedules, administering medication, building leash manners, and providing constant companionship. I have a small, friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Bob who gets along great with other dogs. With your permission, Bob can join our walks to provide extra socialization and companionship, which is especially helpful for dogs with anxiety or those who just enjoy gentle interaction. •SAFETY PRECAUTIONS• Your dog’s comfort and individualized care are always my top priorities. Please bring your pup with a secure harness instead of a collar for walks and outings. Harnesses are significantly safer, more comfortable, and help keep your furry friend protected at all times. My daily routine balances client care with my own dog's needs. I schedule every morning, midday, and evening walks, ensuring every dog receives attention, exercise, and socialization while my small, friendly pup joins safely when appropriate. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in my home including feeding, walks, playtime, and safe socialization. My small, friendly dog can join walks for companionship and comfort with owner's permission.
“Ilene was great! We have a foster cat in quarantine with an infection and wanted someone to spend time with him while we were out of town. Ilene was able to give him some quality time and attention, he was a happy camper. The updates we got were good and the photos were perfect. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, dogs all through my childhood and cats all through my adult life. I have experience with caring for multiple animals and training as well. I have an open schedule at the moment, working on school online so I have a lot of free time. I love to walk dogs and sit at your home, as I have a shy kitten at home who doesn’t mix well with other animals. I love to make your animal comfortable, and I understand not everybody’s will warm up to you right away. I make effort to keep in contact with you to make sure your pet’s needs are all met.
“Travis helped us with hour-long drop in visits during the work day. We contacted him with short notice and he was quick to reply and help! Very friendly and professional, and he sent us great pictures of our pup.”

About: I am a former dog handler that worked at a doggy day care where I cared for multiple dogs daily, managing different temperaments and energy levels. I’m experienced in supervising play, maintaining safety, and keeping dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also owned dogs and cats in my lifetime as well! Genuinely an animal lover. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow routines closely, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“She was so efficient and professional from beginning to end of our booking. She made sure to understand the needs of my pet and the where and how of all things related to him. She was respectful of our home, our Harry was happy and safe and her communication through the process reassured us everything was good!”

“Hope was so amazing with my kitty! She left very detailed notes, giving me complete peace of mind while I was dealing with a loss in the family. Hope was extremely communicative and responsive which was very helpful. She not only made sure my kitty’s basic needs were met, but went above and beyond to play with her, too. Very grateful for a phenomenal sitter like Hope. 😇”

“Katie consistently goes above and beyond. Our cat was alone during a snowstorm and power outage, and Katie communicated with us right away that our automatic feeder wasn’t working. She worked with me to come up with a mitigation plan, and she offered to check on our cat the next day to make sure the kibble had dropped, even though we hadn’t booked her for another visit. She is an AMAZING sitter and very kind, generous human.”

“Jessica took such good care of my cat. She gave me updates each time and took photos. I am happy to have Jessica care for my cat and would book with her again.”


About: From family pets, growing up on a farm, pet sitting in college, to multiple years taking care of animal ambassadors as a naturalist, I've been working with and caring for critters of all sorts for nearly as long as I can remember! For critters in the pet category, I have been caring for indoor cats since 2018, from kittens to seniors and every stage in between, including administering medications. My family has had medium/large dogs (rottweilers, labs, and border collie and boxer mixes) my whole life but I have also pet sat for smaller breeds like Boston terriers and cavalier king Charles spaniels. My time as a naturalist gave me experience working with not only varied species, but varied personalities. From grumpy skunks to mischievous snakes and dramatic birds, I have extensive experience across the gambit. It also provided experience with very specific care instructions and detailed documentation. I like to provide pet parents with a thorough summary of my time with their pet so they don't have to worry while they're away. My schedule varies week to week from periods of no availability to periods of open availability, I will make sure to keep things updated so you know what to expect! In fall of 2025, I finished my 2,200+ mile thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. What does that mean for pet care? I LOVE to walk and do so whenever I get the chance! I would love to have your pet join me! I am very detail oriented and will follow your care instructions to a T! I also provide my pet parents a detailed summary of my visit for peace of mind, every time!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have had the honor of caring for others pets as well! I have cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and birds! I am currently in school and find myself with a lot of free time! I enjoy going for walks and playing with my cat that lives with me! I live in a gated community with a fenced in dog yard! I know lots of great walking areas to bring your dogs too for a little fun adventure!
“Melissa was very attentive to my cats while I was away for a week! She administered their medication, played with them, and made sure they were happy as can be :) Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rufus King
Angela was wonderful! She treated our puppies with so much love and care during her drop-in visit. She spent quality time playing with them, giving them lots of hugs and attention, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys being around dogs. She was also very accommodating, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppies were in such caring hands. We would absolutely book Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

Jessica was great with my German shepherd, my dog has been going through some health issues and when I went out of town for 4 days I needed someone to come take care of her 3 times a day and mix up her special food, take her for walks and monitor her potty breaks. Jessica was also super flexible with the timing of her visits and made this potentially stressful time super easy for me and my dog. 5 stars. Would reccomend her to anyone.

Hanna did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away on vacation. She was incredibly reliable, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos that gave us peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear our cats were well cared for and comfortable in her hands. This was our second time booking with Hanna, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Isaac is THE best cat sitter. My cat Sweets is always excited when he comes and visits when I have to go away for work or vacation. He’s super efficient, reliable and takes such great care of her each time he drops in to check on her. Highly recommend booking with Isaac!

Lindsay did an exceptional job caring for my dog while I was away. She was highly communicative throughout the entire stay, spent quality time with him, and regularly sent updates and photos that gave me peace of mind during my trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would absolutely trust Lindsay with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Whitney was awesome with the two cats. The two cats were very comfortable with her. Nick and Sam can be challenging and Whitney kept us informed with clear communication. She was very caring towards the cats. I will definitely ask her to care for Nick and Sam again!
