About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and grew up caring for various breeds, which taught me how to read canine body language and understand different personalities. Beyond a lifetime of personal pet ownership, I also have professional experience working for a local small pet-care business. Through that role, I provided high-quality drop-in cat and dog sitting, daily dog walking, and overnight housesitting. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk, structured routine maintenance during an overnight stay, or just some dedicated playtime and companionship, I am committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away! As a university student studying psychology and kinesiology, my schedule requires a bit of balance, but it also gives me great flexibility! I am fully available for pet care from Friday to Monday. Because my evenings are adaptable, I am also available for late-night check-ins. I manage my time strictly, ensuring that your pet's feeding, walking, and medication schedules are always met precisely and with plenty of dedicated attention. Safety is my absolute highest priority when caring for your animals. Having grown up with various breeds and worked professionally in pet care, I have a strict rule of keeping all dogs securely leashed whenever they are outside or on walks. I am also fully experienced with crate training and can comfortably crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. My academic background makes me highly observant of behavior, so you can trust that I will maintain a calm, structured, and completely secure environment for your pet.

“Heather was AMAZING. My older dog is very unsure with new people and she did great with him. She kept us update every day and made my wife and I very comfortable that our puppies were in great hands! She will be our first option if we need someone in the future!”

“Greta watched four pets for us and she was great! Came back to a clean house and all the pets were happy and comfortable. She sent us updates and pictures, where all the pets were snuggling up to her. So pets approve too.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive, patient, and adaptable to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy and comfortable. My patience and calm approach are especially helpful when caring for puppies who are still learning routines and senior dogs who may need extra support, gentleness, and attention. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to offer pet care services after 5 PM Monday through Thursday, along with open availability on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and happy to accommodate special requests, including extended stays and flexible care arrangements whenever possible. I always prioritize safety and comfort while caring for animals. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I supervise pets during walks, playtime, meals, and outdoor time. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Michelle did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They can be a handful but she did great. She was also very good at keeping us informed with pictures and updates as needed.”

“Keira is a great pet/house sitter. Followed my gazillion rules and my fur babies loved her!! Highly recommended and I will request her again for my next trip !! Thanks Keira!!!”

Barry O.

“We loved having Jean stay with Barney! She is super communicative and sent lots of cute pictures! We will love having her take care of him again!”

Melissa T.

“Sarah and Mason took great care of our dog and two cats. When we arrived home after a week-long work trip, we arrived to find a lovely note letting us know when our dog was walked last, and when the animals were fed. Not only that the house was a clean as we left it and all the animals were super-happy. We will definitely use them again!!”

John R.

“Emma is so good with our dogs. It’s nice to be able to leave the house and not worry one bit. She’s easy, reliable and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I'm pretty new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors, and have experience administering oral medications, handling emergencies, and providing daily exercise and enrichment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services to learn your pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, my goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every home with respect—often leaving it a little cleaner than I found it. I am working a part time job during the weekdays, usually the shifts are 11am-4 or 5pm, and on the weekends I work longer shifts which vary in time. However... I have many weeks off here and there so I am free a lot of the time. My job is pretty flexible most of the time so I can leave work to walk your pups and make sure they are okay and then go back to work. My yard has an Invisible Fence for my dogs which works out quite nicely and whenever I have other people's dogs over I make sure to keep them on a leash so no accidents happen. That being said, I live with my parents so I would be more geared towards servicing in home visits and stays with your pets at your home.

“Emily has dogsat for me a few times now. She’s friendly, responsive, and seems patient with my reactive and anxious shelter dog. Thanks, Emily! :)”

“Brooke walked waffles a ton and spent a lot of quality time with him. Communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Can’t recommend enough.”

TM G.

“I cannot thank Lucas enough. Far exceeded my expectations, we will 100% be a repeat customer. Two-week trip, our anxious dog loved Lucas and clearly felt safe amd cared for. Detailed updates, even cleaned up the house (and the sheets on the bed he used) before we returned! Highest recommendation”

Lance S.

“Erika did a great job for us on very short notice and literally drove all over the county to take care of Belle and another client. Our puppy was very comfortable with her and Erika provided us a phone update as well, which was very much appreciated. She is very comfortable around dogs, completely professional, but warm and delightful on top of that. Will look forward to using her services in the future!”

Don J.

“Kaitlynn was exceptional! She delivered on the elements we would hope for when caring for our dog. She communicated clearly and timely with relevant updates that gave us piece of mind. She took the time to listen and get to know and understand our anxious and sometimes reactive cattle dog, giving him the physical exercise he needed along with the mental stimulation. She went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Kaitlynn.”

About: Hi there! I’ve had both dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is truly something I love. Whether it’s tossing a ball at the park or just hanging out for some cuddle time, I always make sure pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. This my full time job so you pets are my priority. I will make sure they don't feel lonely, get plenty of attention, walks, and of course treats. I am a military veteran and am trustworthy, honest, and punctual! I will always be there if I say i will. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

“Gabriela was felxible and accommodating in taking care of our girls on a very short notice request. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for both family members and other clients for free, providing dog walking/sitting services for dogs ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I’m a huge dog lover who is willing to do anything necessary to keep them entertained and loved, whether that’s walking them for a mile at 2 am or cuddling with them as I sleep. I truly value the connection between humans and dogs, and even those who are more unfriendly are able to warm up to me quite rapidly. I’m very flexible overall and would accommodate any client needs! As a recent college graduate, I’m currently a door dasher and searching for part-time jobs, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets and commit to pet sitting or walking. I’m open to any hours of the day including overnight care if necessary. I love giving pets the freedom to have fun and explore while maintaining discipline and good behavior. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and keeping them healthy through consistent exercise, and I also love cuddling with any pet and making sure they’re never bored or lonely. I’m a firm believer that a pet should never be locked in the same room all day, so I love constant movement and attention. Another priority of mine is pet safety and security, ensuring they aren’t in a stressful environment that reduces their happiness.
