“I can’t say enough good things about Debi- I feel so lucky to have found such a caring, communicative, and responsible person to care for my senior dog Harlow while I was away. Debi asked all of the important questions about Harlow’s needs and made sure she knew her schedule, her likes and dislikes, and always provided her with extra love and care. She sent lots of photos and a full report each day. I would trust Debi with dogs of any age and/or with any special needs!”


“Kim is great with our fur babies. She sends a ton of photos and updates along the way. I can tell she really knows what she’s doing. This was our first walk with Kim but we will be using her as our regular dog walker!”


About: I take care of my neighbors dogs, friends cats, my best friends bring their dogs over and we all walk together. All of our animals were rescued. I am not working over the summer so I am very flexible during the day to help take care of animals when needed/ walking/ letting them out to use the bathroom. I walk the dogs on leashes, I only let them out when there is a fenced in area. I have a fenced in yard at home, that my dog goes out and plays in.

“Thank you for another great week! We so appreciate the thoughtful gift as well. Have a great weekend and we will be in touch as soon as we figure out our schedules. :)”


About: I offer reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away or at work. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need a little help. I ensure that your furry family will be comfortable, safe, and happy in the comfort of my home, or yours. My services include daily walks and exercise to keep your pets active and healthy, feeding and administering medications if needed, playtime and companionship, regular updates and photos so you can relax and focus on what you’re doing. I treat each pet like family. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets routine stays normal as possible and they feel loved in your absence. Feel free to contact me for more information or to book a meet and greet. I had my soul dog for 21 years and my soul cat for 18 years so I get that pets are true family. I currently work remote in the financial industry for the last five years so I have the flexibility for visits to check in, walks throughout the day, and also with notice I can provide boarding which will be one client at a time. I also have plenty experience with cats. There are no current pets at my home so I can provide undivided attention. I live in a spacious, well kept condo, and there is plenty of room for furry friends and there are no other pets living here at this time.

About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!

About: Growing up, animals were always more than just pets—they were cherished members of the family. From a young age, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, each one showered with love and attention as though they were siblings. Whether it was a wagging tail or a purring cat curled up on the couch, I’ve always had a natural connection to animals, fawning over them and giving them the care they deserve. As I got older, I didn’t just care for my own pets—I was the go-to person for friends and family when they needed help. Whether it was feeding, walking, or just providing companionship, I loved looking after their animals as if they were my own. It was a joy to be there for their pets, whether it was a quick visit or a longer stay. I also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs. It was incredibly fulfilling to provide a temporary home, offer love and stability, and then see them transition to a new family. Each fostering experience taught me more about patience, adaptability, and the diverse needs of different pets. Currently, I’m a proud owner of two wonderful cats who are like family to me. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, and it’s this same dedication I bring to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or anything in between, I understand the importance of personalized care, and I treat each pet with the same level of love and respect as I would my own family members. In every role, from fostering to pet-sitting, I’ve always believed that the best care comes from the heart. "I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling and be available for pet visits at a variety of times throughout the day. The only exception is between 3-6 PM, as I have prior commitments during that window. Other than that, I’m happy to accommodate visits at times that work best for you and your pet, whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. Your pet’s care and comfort are my top priority, and I’m excited to work with you to find a schedule that fits your needs! When I visit your pet, my goal is to provide them with the same care and attention they would receive from you. During my pop-in visits, I’ll ensure that their basic needs are met, including feeding them, letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them the necessary playtime and affection. I always make sure to check that they are safe and secure while on walks, keeping a close eye on their surroundings and any potential hazards. I believe in treating your pet like family, so I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just a calm moment to unwind, I’m here to make sure they have the best care possible.

About: My family and I believe a dog needs 100% love and attention. Your dog will be walked feed and played with for the time you choice. We will send a daily picture that candid with your dog. As a family we like to give each old a mini of 3 hours of dedicated time as side from feeding and tidying up. My day starts a 4am. When your dog wakes up I tend to feed at their normal time. I would follow your walk schedule and even continue habitual training if you are currently doing so. All areas are pet safe and closed off. I have a fenced yard. Walks are usually a minimum of 30 mins but if your puppy is very active we would walk longer as needed

About: My whole life I’ve had a huge soft spot for any kind of animal- especially dogs. I worked in management for a pet store for several years and have dog health and safety training. Please let me know of any specifics to help me cater to your furry friends🫶🏼 I am a full time college student during the year-so most mornings I am unavailable until about 1. Just let me know! Friday-sun are full availability. I have been trained in signs of distress and several other areas of concern as it comes to walking dogs and maintaining a level of safety for your pups. Please let me know if there are any specifics your dog may require!

About: New to Rover but not new to pet-sitting. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own- prepare for the custody battle 😅. lol jk. In all seriousness, your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies and all the beautiful challenges that come with that stage, as well as senior care. I have also had experience with adopting my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) I currently have boarding slots set up to 4 at a time but feel free to contact me regarding specific availability needs. For example, does your pet require an environment without other animals? Do you have 2 dogs but 3 cats? Based on your pets specific needs, we can discuss alternate solutions. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all. We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. Property also includes fenced in dog area, or I am open to dog park runs if that is your preference. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.
