About: I have trained puppies; both my own family’s pets, as well as in a professional setting. I have cared for senior dogs as well; I have aided dogs with limited mobility, cleaned up after accidents, and administered medication. I am working as a nanny. I am currently available Friday-Sunday, but this will change after June 30th, after which I will be available full time, until I begin my Master’s program in the fall. I will update availability at that time. I will ensure all of your pets basic needs are met in a timely and loving manner. I am happy to take dogs out on walks and play with them. I can crate your dog(s) if requested so long as the crate is provided. I am capable of administering medication. I will thoroughly clean up any accidents, if needed. I will happily send you photo updates. Just about any service needed, I can provide!
“Where do I even begin with Sharon- she is just SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!! We went out of town for 5 days and this is the first time we used Rover. Sharon came over to our home twice before we left to meet our animals and to go over all of the details. I was a little nervous about leaving our furbabies but let me tell you, I was so comfortable with Sharon taking care of them knowing they were in loving hands. Sharon sent me photos and updates of them every day and exceeded all expectations. I will forever use Sharon to watch our babies, they absolutely loved her!!! My skiddish scared cat even came out to greet her which never happens with anyone. Sharon is such a sweet, respectful person and I could not recommend Her enough. ❤️”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes for most of my life, and honestly, I think they’ve raised me more than I’ve raised them. When people say there’s nothing better than a dog, they’re absolutely right unless that dog just ate your sandwich or rolled in something “mysterious” at the park. Still, I’d do anything to give my dogs the best life possible. They've brought me so much joy, unconditional love, and a healthy fear of leaving food unattended. Some of my best memories (and worst carpet stains) have come from having them by my side. Availability: June 16 – June 22 Thursday: 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM (Walking Only) Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability Availability: June 23 – June 29 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability As a dedicated dog owner, I am always fully aware of my dogs' locations at all times. No matter the service request, I will prioritize their safety above everything else. Their well being is my top priority, and I am committed to ensuring they are secure and protected in every situation.
“Awesome communication Dogs immediately warmed up to Staci! Definitely felt at ease leaving dogs in her care! Will rebook!”
“Kimberly was excellent with my dog. She arrived on time, kept me updated with photos and videos and made sure my dog was fed, stimulated and exercised. She truly went above and beyond with her dog sitting service. With Kimberly, I know my dog is in the best hands and I feel 100% safe putting my trust in her!”
“Olivia was amazing with our Cavapoo, Lulu! They bonded instantly, and Lulu got to stick to her routine even while we were away. She made sure Lulu got plenty of playtime and attention, which we truly appreciate. Thank you again, Olivia, for keeping our girl company today! 😊🐶”
“Melanie and Anthony were great with our dogs, even with one of them in heat. They kept them well fed and exercised. We were very pleased with the experience”
“This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!”
About: I have taken care of pets for years, ever since my sister and I adopted a stray beagle when we were kids, and helped its owner find it months later. Fast forward to now, I have had experience taking care of a variety of animals. I currently am not a pet owner now, but I am enthusiastic about taking care of animals and would love to be trusted with sitting your pet like my own. I am a graduate student, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate people’s 9-5 work schedules and I own a car in case of emergencies. I also am often free during weekends and holidays. I have a fenced yard and live in a calm, peaceful neighborhood. I do live in a basement apartment, but I keep my living space well-lit and ventilated.
“Julia was amazing with my dog. She was always on time and updated me throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her services again”
About: I’ve been caring for and loving animals my whole life, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to treat your pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m in online college and have a flexible job, so I can be available whenever your pet needs me. I especially love going on long walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and fresh air throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine closely, whether it’s crating, giving meds, or any special care. I keep their space clean, secure, and calm so they feel safe and cared for at all times.
“John was excellent. He went above and beyond in every respect. We give our highest recommendation. John not only was very conscientious with our 2 dogs but also cleaned up our yard after the storm, hung our flag and fixed our trellis! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”
About: I'm a very attentive and tidy pet owner to give the pets as much love and as much space as the appear to need. I respect pets, independence and no the most of their social cues to tell me what they need. While I'm completing Project Manager certification and job hunting for Engineering work in the Renewable Energy Industry, I love getting out everyday for sunset walk (or run for dogs that need it). I've dated a Vet Technician and learned a lot from her with her kitten and elder cat. I've even shared a dog and had to endure putting it down sadly. I'm very attentive with pets and love giving them just the right amount of attention, or space, that they enjoy naturally. I respect pets like any other member of the family.
About: I started dog walking when I was in the 6th grade in order to earn some cash as a first job. Since then I have walked and cared for dogs quite often, staying over night in houses as well to give them my full attention. Currently, I am home during the week and am available at all hours of the week days. I have three dogs of my own; a westie, a bassethound, and a standard poodle. All of my dogs are exceptional around other dogs, I have never had a problem woth their behavior when I bring other dogs home to watch. I have a grass yard with plenty of space for them to run. I will give all dogs my full attention and love as I care for them, ensuring that they are not alone while their owner is away. I work from home full time and love the animal breaks! I take walks to break up my work day and love to bring a dog or two with me! I value my little fur baby and having her around throughout the day, and since I am home your pet can get endless potty breaks just like mine! I have a huge fenced yard and a very playful GSD. I’m also pretty athletic and can play with your animals as much as they need. I can come to your home for a walk and a play break as well. My care includes my GSD hanging out with me all day as I work. If she is not outside running around, she is laying by me. I have the ability to take 5 minute breaks to play with her and bring her outside. If you prefer a check up at your own home, I can come to your home and do the same! I have experience with diabetic dogs, senior dogs, and even a disabled dog who has no use of his back legs.
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs all my life and have volunteered at dog shelters walking and caring for dogs for the past 5 years. To me there is nothing better than making a dog happy and fulfilled whether that’s throwing a ball in the yard, walking them, or just giving them lots of pets. I believe each dog is special and should be treated with kindness and compassion. I work full time in a remote job. I’m available during the weekdays and weekends to help with your pups needs and care. Can’t wait to help you and your pup! 🐾 I have experience with feeding schedules, walking, and crating schedules from puppies to senior dogs. I can follow owners instructions for feeding and crating. I am constantly learning about what dogs need and make it my mission to provide the proper care for them. I love building a relationship with you and your dog and working with you to see how we can make your dog happy 😊
About: If you require a morning walker or need someone to run a few miles with your energetic dog, I am your person. I have experience with various types and sizes of pets. I am also very meticulous about their needs and yours. Please let me know their preferences and behaviors so I can best meet their needs. As a student my schedule varies but it I am typically available for morning and afternoon services such as walks and check-ins. I could also accommodate afternoons services depending on the week and request. My weekends are typically free unless specified otherwise. Available to do overday dog sitting on weekends but not overnight. If you are requesting drop-in services at your house, please let me know what your pet requires. I can offer play time, refill water and food, medication administration, brushing, and complete certain household tasks. Occasionally, if I do overday dog-sitting, your dog will have a fenced-in backyard to run around in.

Charlotte has been raised in a dog and cat loving family her whole life and has never had a stretch of time without owning a pet. She is kind, compassionate, caring, and loving to all animals and truly loves to be around them at all times. She gets an abundance of joy from being around animals and caring for them. Not only does she love cats and dogs to no end, she is also incredibly punctual with timelines and responsible. She is the main caretaker for her family dog and takes her German Shepherd on frequent walks and plays with her in the yard daily. Hiring Charlotte will guarantee your furry friend is in the best of hands and will not even notice you are gone!”
