About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed.

I currently work full time Monday through Thursday in the human services field as a case manager. My schedule is flexible and I am available every weekend. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.

Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him. They’re very Intuitive dogs that instantly pick up on someone’s nervousness or lack of confidence - but Paul comes in with a confident but clam nature that they sense immediately. Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have been trusted to care for them consistently. Having 2 of my own dogs and many reptiles/amphibians, my care for pets goes deeper than most. I am currently working on becoming credentialed as a NP so I am no longer working a full time job, making me free almost any day. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs but am also available to come to your home as needed! I have a home of my own as well so I know the importance of keeping the home safe and clean for our little friends.

Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!

About: With over 30 years of trusted pet sitting experience, I provide loving, reliable care rooted in a deep belief that animals are a true gift—offering unconditional love, loyalty, and joy just by being themselves. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for a 4-year-old Ragdoll cat who is truly part of the family, and her needs are woven into each day—feeding, playtime, grooming, and quiet companionship. Weekly routines include maintaining a clean, comfortable environment and ensuring she feels safe, loved, and engaged. This consistent, attentive care reflects how I treat every pet: like a cherished family member who deserves patience, affection, and genuine connection. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, pets are treated like family—given a calm, safe environment with structured feeding times, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I maintain a clean space and keep their routine as close to home as possible to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I focus on consistency and respect for the pet’s familiar environment. I follow detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, litter or yard maintenance, exercise, and companionship. I also provide regular updates for peace of mind. With over 30 years of experience, my approach is always patient, attentive, and rooted in genuine love for animals, ensuring they feel secure and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was little but didn’t start watching animals until about 2 years ago! My mother has a fur baby name Teddy and I watch him a lot. I also have my own kitten name Tallulah, before getting her I did lots of research though. I work part time! When I’m done with working I walk my neighbors dog, then I stop by my mothers and watch/ play/ walk my moms dog! I care for my pets with respect, as do I with other animals! I am patient, understanding, and friendly. I go above and beyond for pets!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I've cared for all types of dogs from dachshunds to pitbulls; toy poodles to great danes. No dog is too excitable or too strong to handle. I am an active person and will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise. My husband and I like to make sure all pups end the day happy and tired. With a large yard on a quiet street, you pet will feel right at home here. I work from home every day aside from Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with a lenient job that I can walk away from when needed. I can take the dog out at any time of day, and have a long lunch break for walks, and plenty of time in the evening for play. I've sat many pets in their own home, and have been able to learn how they behave in their own environment and adapt accordingly. Respecting people's spaces is a top priority, and I always make sure to leave a home exactly as I found it. I have a large home with plenty of outdoor space at the end of a quiet cul da sac. The back yard is secluded and very safe. We do not keep food out, and we make sure no plants that can harm animals ever enter the home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with very few cars. Most all other dogs in the area have interacted with dogs we have babysat, and are very friendly and well trained.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was about 6. I have pet sat for the past 12 years, including walks, feeding, just hanging out, and spending the night to care. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals and love to spend as much time with them as I can! I bring pets for walks or let them out to run in the yard , feed them, bathe them, and of course give them all the love and attention they need! Part time occupational therapist and, more importantly, part time stay at home mom who goes on walks regularly with our dog and baby, and brings our dog to acceptable places when leaving the house as well. (If services are actively offered) I have a big fenced in yard and a pup that loves to share his running space. Pets are allowed on my couch and bed so that they feel the most comfortable when here. Will also use crate if that is what’s preferred.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.
