“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”


“Magan was a big help with Lucy. Lucy can be stubborn about walking with anyone but her Mom and Dad, but Magan was able to coax her and complete her afternoon walks. We had never used Rover before but this was a positive experience and if needed, would use Magan again.”


About: Howdy! My name is Grey, and i want to snuggle your dog! Once upon a time, as an aging single male with no children employed at a plant, a coworker asked me if I would mind watching her dog for a night while she left town. I obliged and from that grew several clients from my workplace, and friends told friends, dogs told dogs, and i was never in my own bed for months watching other peoples' dogs and homes. My reviews are real and recent and if dogs could write as well as they speak, they would echo the same. I'm extremely interactive with your Pooch,but I'M NOTHING SPECIAL. I do specifically what im told regarding pets, household duties, errands AND NOTHING MORE OR LESS unless circumstances absolutely called for it. Excessive dog walks? NO PROBLEM! Plant watering and mail? LEMME DO THAT! Receiving 18 Amazon packages daily that you don't want on your front porch? Perfect, I don't want them on your porch either! My goals for your booking are: 1) Total peace of mind for pet parents upon departure. 2. 100% wagalicious excitement OR cuddlicious tranquility for pet during the trip. 3) A clean and choreless home with happy pets upon arrival. I'm ultra reasonable and can work with people on pricing depending on specific scenarios BUT I am not a miracle worker nor am I a dog whisperer. I throw balls, take long walks, verbally stimulate, feed and water your furbabies. Sometimes, i let them kiss my mouth (once per day, per dog). I take them to parks. I take them on hikes. I DO NOT TRAIN THEM..... SO, if they are destructive with the owner around, they will be 10x as destructive with me around. If they pee in the house, they are going to pee in 10x as much Square footage with me around vs the actual owner. I'm not Cesar Milan....I'm YOU for a week. Please respond with some contact info, interested dates and maybe anything ultra specific needed during your excursion. I'm a solid sitter, but there is only one of me, so let's book soon! Any medical professionals specializing in male pattern baldness, TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, please:) I do this full time, however, I'm newer to the area and I'm now discovering some of the challenges it provides, mostly that my average commute between jobs and home is over 1 hour. Ideally, i leave your house 1-2 times per day for no more than 4-5 hours. I do this with your dog's daily routine in mind, and am with them at whatever specific times needed for wake up, feedings etc. I use this time to handle other dogs, do my own errands or just a general break from sitting in the same place for 24 hours. These are obviously just guidelines and they can be altered to suit you and puppykins, and whatever is decided between us is adhered to responsibly every time. I love all dogs and 99% of cats and 95% of people. So much love to give.... I have ALWAYS, well before signing up for this app, cleaned client homes before client returns home. While not a professional, my goal is to always leave property in the same condition or better than I found it, mostly successfully. DON'T LET MY DEMOGRAPHIC FOOL YOU!!! I'm tidy and domesticated and I treat people's space and belongings with the highest level of care. I act as if there is a camera on me at work and in my personal life (and there likely is!). Pets are never unattended except for when I use restroom or quick necessity while tending to other matters of the home. Any and all protocols discussed are strictly adhered to. I take this very seriously. I watch a lot of Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown helped raise me. I handle people's homes and pets in accordance with their exacting standards towards pet handlers and caretakers

About: I have cared for dogs, and cats, of all kind since I was a child. I have always had them in my life, usually rescued. I was a foster mom for a Pug rescue out of Kansas City for several years, and cared for Pugs of all ages, and from various backgrounds including puppymills. I have a lot of experience with socializing dogs from abusive and neglectful situations, caring for dogs with health issues such as diabetes/blindness, and dogs needing various medications. I have rescued many dogs that have been abandoned, and found loving homes for them through home and vet checks. Caring for dogs and cats is my passion. I am currently a home maker with no children, so my schedule is very flexible. Plus, if your dog is boarded at my home, there would be no need to kennel them since I am usually home all day. If I provided care during the day for a pet in someone's home, I would be happy to follow any and all instructions, and provide at least 2 walks a day. I would also love to send daily updates with pictures so pet parents can see how happy and well cared for their pets are. If the pet is in my care at my home, there would be three walks a day. I am home all day so there would be no need to kennel them unless the owner requests it. I currently have an older Pug mix dog that is playful and good with other dogs.

About: I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I love every minute of it. I wanted to start dog walking, training and pet sitting because of the love I've had with animals since I was young. I have a certificate for dog training from the FernDog Trainer Academy. To help animals that are less fortunate, I decided to volunteer with rescues and shelters. I have 5 furry babies of my own. Zaria, Saphira and Tilly are the cats. The two dogs are named Nya and Cami. I've worked in a holistic pet store where I became a manager and very educated on pet nutrition. I am very grateful for that job because it has given me the opportunity to enhance my pets lives. I was able to see how feeding higher quality food made a difference in my pets lives. I've also worked with two boarding and day care facilities, one of which I was also a manager. I occasionally went to there clients houses and walked their dogs. I know how to administer medication including shots. I have attended the Red Cross Pet First Aid course. I have experience with all different types of personalities and sizes of dogs ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I'm excited that I can finally use my skills to help the things I love most…animals. I understand how hard it is to find quality care, and ensure your trust in others with your loved ones. I am also individually insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I know you will be completely satisfied. I hope to meet you and your furry loved ones! I'm currently working full-time as a pet sitter and dog walker. I will have plenty of time to give all the love and care to your pets. When your pets are in my care, I always take every precaution to be sure they are safe and happy. For your peace of mind, I am fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

Grey W.Star Sitter
“Grey was our go-to in-home dogsitter for about 5 years...up until our pups passed (after 15 happy years). As the pups started aging they would get very anxious being anywhere but their own home. Grey was the perfect solution. He is incredibly patient and always kept the pups active with multiple walks per day. He takes his responsibility towards other people's pets very seriously, never away from the house for too long. And a bonus is that the house was always CLEANER than how left it. Highly Recommended!”
