“SoYoung is really great! She is very flexible with scheduling & communicate really well. Most importantly, she loves dogs! She is patient with my 2 doodles. Committed to take them on a good long walk & played fetch with them. My dogs came home tired & happy, which is the goal! At the end of the walk she always include pictures, which made me feel very at ease when I'm away. She's trustworthy! :)”

About: I provide long-term stays, quick visits for walks, medication and feeding times. I care for rabbits as well as cats, chickens, ducks, and fishes. i've taken care of many different animals since I was very young, as my family has always included them— we have always been with animal companions! Many lovely beings have all graced my life with their presence, each teaching me with their own unique personalities and preferences. I make it a point to listen and give attention and empathy to all those who've crossed my path, leaving us filled with more love and joy with every visit. I am a full-time animal caregiver, so hours may vary based on weekly bookings. let's take a look at our calendars and see when we can best provide care for our animal relatives! at my families home, we have a very large fenced in yard. We spend plenty of time outside when the weather is appropriate, running and playing, going on plenty of walks, and giving lots of praise to the Littles!

About: I have dog- & cat-sat and walked dogs for friends and family, off and on for decades. I respect and strive to maintain your training and behavioral standards. In my experience, dogs live to please us and get it right -- and get a reward. :-) I relish seeing sociable pooches' delight when I take them to the dog park to chase balls and play with new friends. I enjoy each and every walk through the neighborhood just to see who's out and wanting to say "hi!" (read: "woof!"). I know how important a routine can be, so I do my utmost to adhere to yours, so that pooch who misses you will have the least possible other disruptions to their sensibility. ;-) I'm a writer and editor working from home, so "Have laptop. Will travel." Show me your high-speed Internet and I'll show you a flexible and dedicated on-site sitter for your canine or feline cutie-pies. I'll walk your dogs, play with your cats, water your plants, put out your trash bins, bring in the mail, add chlorine to your hot tub, and move your car every 72 hours -- just tell me what you need in order to feel totally at ease while you're away! When out and about, I routinely ask other dog-walkers for permission or an invitation before letting your pups introduce themselves. I am highly conscious of door and fence/gate hygiene, either at your home or at the dog park. And while at that dog park or on those walks, I strive to never mix leashed dogs with unleashed dogs, so as to minimize any power imbalances. At mealtime, I monitor a chubby pooch with a slow metabolism to make sure he doesn't partake of his slim & trim buddy's leftovers. I appreciate and adhere to the routines you've established for your pet. I like to build trust and reinforce cooperation & good behavior by asking dogs for a "shake" or "sit" or "down" before rewarding them with a treat.

“Damian, was one of the best dog walkers we have used from Rover. Always showed up on time and even arrived early several days. Adapted to Niner’s needs on their walks. Especially in tune when Niner was struggling from the environment noises. Enjoyed Damian’s pics & notes of Niner’s walks. Definitely will used Damian again in the future.”

About: I love animals and have taken care of dogs for over 16 years. I have a 4-year-old Pomsky, named Nova, who loves making new friends (dogs and people)! As a psychology grad student specializing in behavioral health, I pride myself in providing positive reinforcement training for puppies and a caring and safe environment for dogs of all ages and stages. I look forward to taking care of your fur-baby! I'm a psychology grad student working remotely/part-time, meaning I will have plenty of time to pamper your pup! Weekdays I work from home. Weekends are fully dedicated to the dogs. I have a fenced backyard where your dog can run and play. There are two friendly female dogs on the property: Nova a spayed 4-year-old pomsky and Lilou a 1-year-old goldendoodle. Please let me know if your dog requires any medications or special accommodations.

“Awesome, thank you!”

“Loryne was a great dog walker! Hobbes loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet, and was excited to see her each day. She walked him in the late afternoon for seven days. She was a great communicator and would text prior to arriving. We were very flexible on the timing of the walk which works out well. We would definitely rebook with Loryne in the future.”

About: I have a 4 year old miniature pinscher named Ponzu. He is hyper and playful and loves to play tug of war. I love caring for pets and know that each one has a unique personality. I’ve had experiences taking care of friends and family’s beloved furry friends, including cats, and making sure they feel comfortable and at home. I have a hybrid work schedule so I’m able to drop in or take your pet on walks during the weekdays and the evenings when I’m at home. Your pets will get plenty of playtime and exercise with me. I will make sure to let them out for potty breaks and provide food and snacks if needed. Please let me know if you have any specific care instructions so I’m aware of your pets needs.

About: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday except Tuesdays. Wednesdays and Thursday I am unavailable from 12:30pm-4:00pm. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, I am very flexible and am sure we can work out a schedule that fits your pets’ needs! Please contact me for more information on overnight stays. I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.

“Suz was so great! Super quick to respond, kept me updated and provided tons of photos - our pup was so happy with her walk. Will be connecting with her again for another walk - and would highly recommend!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and can't imagine it any other way. I've owned and cared for large dogs for years—training them myself—and currently share my days with a French Bulldog, two cats, and two horses. Whether it's hiking with dogs, brushing horses, or relaxing with a cat on my lap, animals are a huge part of who I am. I truly understand how important it is to know your pets are in loving, capable hands, and I treat every animal I care for like one of my own. I work full time and also am a student. My schooling is all asynchronous so I make my own schedule and get a lot of free time. Unfortunately, I am not in a space where I can dog sit large breeds at my own home. Lots of areas to walk and exercise dogs in the area. I live alone with my girlfriend in a 2 bedroom apartment with my very friendly frenchie, so small breeds welcome if needed to be sat at my home. The second room in my apartment is exclusively for dogs so they have an area to play, relax and/or space for kennel if applicable.

“Great communication and very friendly. I’ve utilized her for some time and she’s always punctual and great to my baby! He always seems so happy. Truly appreciate her <3”

About: Hi! I’m Ion, and I’ve had a love for animals my whole life. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with a dog since I was 3, and over the years, I’ve also cared for hamsters, fish, turtles, and parrots. Most recently, I had a dog who I raised from 2 months old to 15.5 years. Losing him was tough, but it also deepened my bond with animals and my desire to care for others. I’ve done dog-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family over the years, and I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their owners are away. I live in an apartment with a great dog park, so your dog will have plenty of space to play and explore. I’d love to meet your pup and make sure they get the care and attention they deserve while you're away! Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be home with your pet throughout the day. I can easily fit in walks, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it's a quick stroll or a visit to the dog park, I’m always available to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. At my apartment, there is a private dog park just steps away, so your pet will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. I also have a spacious area in my apartment where your pet can relax and feel comfortable. If needed, I have barriers available to create separate spaces for pets that require a bit of distance. Whether it’s lounging inside, playing in the park, or getting attention, I ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay.

“Sarah is the dog whisperer lol. I don’t think there’s an animal out there who won’t simply love her like my pooches do. She has a calm, warm and loving approach with animals and you can tell she truly cares for and about them. When she watches our dogs, she is diligent about potty breaks, play times, long walks, and even takes them on runs since we have a larger breed animals that require more exercise. We’ve never asked her to take them on runs but she does that because she wants to which is great to see a sitter go above and beyond what’s even required. Sarah’s flexible, often available on short notice and very easy to work with so I’d highly recommend her!”

About: As a kid, I have always found ways to interact with all sorts of animals. Newborns, puppies and seniors. I’m in the animal care field for the past 2 years and since then I have taken care of multiple animals. I have worked with private breeders and I was a breeder myself. Making sure all Paws are happy is what I live for, since only we are their voice. I’m very flexible as of now. I love building relationships with the pets. I can work most days aside from Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. if those days are needed I can only do nights. I always make sure that I have emergency contact and owner contacts before taking care of a family pet/s. If there is a back or front yard, I would make sure it’s locked before letting a Pup out.

“Gary has been an incredible find as my dog walker! From the moment he met Mylo, it was evident he genuinely cares for animals. Mylo comes back from his walks with Gary positively radiant, clearly having enjoyed his time. I greatly appreciate Gary's willingness to let Mylo play in the park during their walks or spend a little extra time playing after the walks. Thanks a lot.”
