I highly recommend her as a dog walker. She is reliable, dependable, and always available when her calendar says she is. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and responsible hands. My dog is always happy and well cared for after every walk, and it’s clear she truly loves and understands animals. I trust her to always show up on time, handle my dog with care, and treat him like her own. I truly appreciate her consistency and the trust I can place in her to take great care of my dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards and birds since I was 10! Our family has three dogs, one that I’ve personally trained since she was a puppy. My roommate and I also consistently foster kittens until we can find them a forever home I work part time, but short shifts (usually only about 6 hours) and have classes for 2 hour increments every weekday morning. I have more than enough time to make sure every fur baby gets enough care while you’re away! I make sure that every animal gets enough play time and attention as I’m aware ample stimulation is critical for a dogs mental and physical health. I’m more than happy to provide daily walks, playtime and any other things a part of your pets schedule and needs.

I had a wonderful experience with Tiffany as my first time using Rover. She was very communicative and engaging, always clear in the directions and attentive to my concerns. I appreciated how she listened to my worries and anxiety about my dogs, making me feel welcome and truly comforted. Tiffany was very flexible and provided excellent care for my dogs, offering regular updates as needed, which really eased my mind. Since I recently moved to this area, she was also willing to recommend better veterinary options and other resources for their care. Overall, it was a fantastic first-time experience, and I am very thankful for Tiffany’s kindness and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Jenny has been fantastic watching after my dog Sophie for the last couple of weeks while I was away. She really came through in a bind and added a last minute walk when a flight was cancelled and I had to leave earlier than expected. And she's gone above and beyond addressing some health problems Sophie has been experiencing. Daily updates and photos have put my mind at ease and it's clear Sophie trusts her and really enjoys her company. I would recommend Jenny to anyone and would absolutely call on her again when needed.

No was great! She promptly arrived each day and gave Romeo a fun little walk in the neighborhood and lunch. She even hung out with him after the walk in the backyard while he enjoyed some sunshine. She was kind enough to bring up the trashcan on trash day when she noticed it was empty. I definitely recommend her as Romeo had a great week with his new buddy!

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and other animals has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality to ensure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I am currently in online college working towards a degree in environmental science. Pet sitting is a good way for me to stay focused on school while still be able to work. In addition to caring for pets, I take pride in being clean, organized, and reliable. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure it is clean and tidy when you return.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. What started as overnight visits for family friends, quickly grew into referrals and neighbors trusting me with their furry loved ones. Over the past 15 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, administering medications, preparing special diets, and providing individualized care. Most importantly, I bring a fun, playful, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. They deserve to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I grew up with 2 Labradors, and currently have a Labrador of my own. I also had 2 cats while I was in college. I currently work part-time as a real estate agent, which means I have plenty of time to give your pups the love, attention, and play they deserve. I am open during the weekday or on most weekends! In Your Home When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Whether that’s mealtime, walks, medications, or cuddle time. I also give plenty of updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. In My Home If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated like family. I provide a safe, cozy space with lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles, along with any special food or care instructions you provide. I also have a fully vaccinated Labrador puppy who would love to have a friend to hangout with!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child, and I’ve always felt a deep connection with them and been able to easily read their energy. I tend to be a magnet for strays, injured animals, and pets that “don’t like anyone.” I have previous experience with administering medications, training, caring for special needs, and making homemade food and treats. I follow instructions meticulously, because I know it is important for your pets to have consistency while you are away. Pet care is my main job and first priority. I do grocery deliveries on the side but can set my own schedule. My boyfriend, Tommy, lives with me and also works for himself, so he is able to assist with pet care as well. I have a fenced back yard and live in a neighborhood that is safe for long walks. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets and home with respect and love.

About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.

It’s always nerve-racking when you have to find a last-minute dog sitter. Especially hiring someone you don’t know and probably do not have time to meet them. Well I can say that I am so happy that I had Alexandra take care of my pup while I was away. She accepted the last-minute appointment and I was quite pleased with her service. She was professional and a great communicator. She always informed me when she was on her way to my home and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her and I personally will be using her again when there is the need.

I highly recommend that you book Stephanie if you need help taking care of your dogs! She’s the best dog sitter we’ve found on here so far, and went above and beyond taking care of our dogs when we went out of town! So we have two big dogs that can be a lot of work to take care of, and we needed someone to take care of them on our trip. We booked with Stephanie, and she did an amazing job taking care of them. She constantly sent us multiple updates each day, and each update was extremely thorough and detailed. We constantly felt like we were in the loop, and we really appreciated her doing such a great job! So if you are looking for someone to help take care of your dogs, we highly recommend that you book with her!
