“Julie is a real pro when it comes to working with dogs. My dog was a bit hesitant on meeting Julie, and she knew exactly how to gently earn his trust. Smooth sailing after that. He loved going on a walk with Julie, and I'm booking more sessions. Great communication skills, too.”

About: I absolutely love dogs and get so excited caring for them. I provide dog walking and sitting in my home or yours, and I treat every pup with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience with different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your dog will be safe, happy, and treated like family with me. Pet care is something I happily build into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, playtime, feedings, and quality time so every dog gets my full attention and never feels rushed. I’m intentional about my availability to make sure each pup receives consistent, loving care and plenty of one-on-one time while they’re with me. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment in my home and always follow each dog’s routine and care instructions. Dogs are supervised, safely leashed on walks, and given plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I have space for crate use if requested, offer enrichment through toys and mental stimulation, and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their dog’s normal routine to reduce stress.

“Tara is great- super reliable and very caring. She is a huge dog lover and she took time to get to know my dog and what she needs! She is very concerned for the animals she watches, and I felt completely comfortable that my dog was in good hands every day!”


About: Hi! My name is Suzy and I am an avid pet lover! I have owned dogs and cats throughout my entire life. I am accustomed to working with both larger and smaller dogs, and have volunteered numerous times at animal shelters. I love taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, and playing fetch. My own dog has separation anxiety and can be difficult to handle at times, but this has prepared me to work with other animals with similar issues! If your dog has specific dietary needs, I will be sure to follow all instructions given. In addition, if your dog needs directed medication, I am capable of administering that. I understand the importance of taking care of your pets, as they are a vital component of your family. I am reliable and eager to work with new furry friends.
About: I have 7 years of pet sitting experience, and have petsat dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, pigs, and fish. What sets me apart is my experience with my 14 year old cat.

I am also known to give excellent pets and belly rubs! I am now in the clinical year of my Physician Assistant program, so my schedule will be heavily influenced by my preceptor at the time. I would love to walk your pet around the neighborhood and take them to the dog park if that is their interest as well. I give all the pets I petsit lots of attention and cuddles each and every day!

About: Hi everyone! I’m Ashley. (Rover lists my legal name, but I’ve gone by my middle name since birth.) I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own home, so I focus on keeping their routines consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I’m both playful and patient, and I adapt to each animal’s personality — whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine. My two goals when caring for your pets are simple: 🐾 Make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away 📱 Give you total peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and communication You’ll always know how your pet is doing — and you might even get a video of me singing to them if they seem like they’d enjoy it. I have an extrememly flexible schedule, and i am 100% dependable. I am understanding about schedules changing or long work days without notice, and am more than happy for last minute drop in's or walks/feedings. Preferably at least a 1 hour notice, or if we live close by that would be an exception. I am very easy to work with! I care for the pets as instructed, whether it be in your backyard or on a walk or home snuggles/feeding. If your pets are fans of ridiculous humans singing to them, then I am the one for you.

About: I grew up with various animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, parrots, rabbits, chickens, and hamsters. From a young age, I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals. As an adult, I’ve also fostered multiple times through MAS and the Humane Society, typically momma cats with kittens and bottle baby kittens. I’m currently a high school teacher with two dogs and two cats of my own. Animals are a huge part of my life, and I’m happy to spend time with yours & make sure they’re thriving while you’re away! I am a high school teacher, so I tend to work M-F 8-3:30. I am available for morning feedings/walks, as well as whatever is needed after 3:30. I am entirely free on the weekends. For summer bookings, my availability is wide open as I am on summer break. While I’m not able to host pets in my own home, I am available to care for them in yours. I am able to follow whatever needs your pets have in your home.
About: I will love your fur babies as my human baby:). I love take dogs on walks. I work for a reputable hospital so you know your fur babies are in the greatest hands possible when they are under my care! I work from home full time so I would love to take care of your fur babies when you are away! Will accommodate your pets special needs if there are any. I have a big fenced in yard and your fur babies can play with my big Labradors. I live very close to Overton Bark/Park, mud island dog park. And Williamson park where we go frequently with my guest pups, foster pups and my pups.

About: I have always loved animals and have had a house full since I was a child. I know that any pet is truly part of the family!

I have a big yard with a year old mini Australian Shepherd! I have 2 cats as well. All of my animals are indoor and outdoor. And my Aussie goes on at least 3 walks a day as well as playing fetch!

About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I'm a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 10-year-old cat and grew up in a household with pets, giving me a lifelong appreciation for animal care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I worked at a doggy daycare where I was responsible for supervising and caring for groups of 8–12 dogs at a time. This experience taught me how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'm committed to providing reliable, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Pet care works into my day easily. Since I have a very flexible schedule it allows me to easily block out time in the mornings, middays, and evenings to dog walking and drop-in visits. I build my day around the feeding, exercise, and medication times requested by my clients. This flexibility ensures that I can always be reliable, prompt, and fully focused on providing attentive care without rushing. Make sure the fences are closed and locked before letting any dogs outside to play. Making sure all trash cans are closed and anything the dog could get into that they shouldn't be able to is secure and put away.
