“Jason was great. You can tell that dogs are so comfortable with him. He took care of our senior dog Stassi and as soon as I met him and saw him interact with her I knew she was in great hands. He’s calm, caring and sent updates. He also brought in our Amazon packages! Highly recommend.”
“Katie was exceptional with our kitties for an extensive trip away from home. She came to the house 2x per day and sent photos with every visit. She played with them and groomed them beautifully. We are so grateful for her and look forward to working with her again! Our kitties love her.”
“Emma was incredible and I will definitely be utilizing her again in the future! Not only did she send multiple pictures and leave detailed messages daily, but she also went back to check in on my dog last minute when she wasn’t scheduled to. This was my first Rover experience and she truly made me so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Strongly recommend!”

About: -Grew up with dogs and cats -love all breeds and sizes -cared for family pets growing up and local family pets now -love dogs more than humans! I’m working full time but my partner works nights Wednesday and Fridays so I’m looking for something new to do. I’m very passionate about pets and them being happy so this seems like a perfect fit. I do not have pets in my current home. If I’m watching or walking a family members dog I strictly adhere to their instructions for the dog. If I’m able to have them out of a contained area and give them attention I’m more than happy to.
About: Hi! I’m Charlotte, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for senior dogs and young pups alike, especially high-energy breeds. I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for my family’s 12-year-old Boston Terrier since she was a puppy. Over the years, I’ve guided her through every stage of life—from potty training to behavioral shaping and teaching fun tricks. She’s now a sweet senior, and I’ve become well-versed in the extra love and patience older dogs need to stay comfortable, happy, and active. I’m also the owner of an energetic 8-month-old Blue Heeler, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs mentally stimulated, exercised, and engaged. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, I’m here to make them feel right at home. My blue heeler, Kota, has gone through heat so I do have experience with caring for puppies in this stage and would ensure that there are no unneutered males there at the same time. I provide a safe, calm, and fun environment, and I treat every pet like my own. I live in a townhouse style condo and am local to many walking/hiking trails. I’d love to meet your furry family member and help care for them while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. Since my Blue Heeler is still a puppy, I’m already used to planning my day around potty breaks, playtime, walks, and training sessions—so adding another furry friend into the mix is something I’m well prepared for. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care, no matter the time of day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, medication if needed, and play—so they feel right at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, cuddles and affection! In a client’s home: I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment, and I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you're away.
“Seriously the best!! She has been so great to my timid German Shepherd. Can always count on her to let me know how things went and takes photos. Goes above and beyond so my pup has a good time. Highly recommend!!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my pups! They loved her instantly! She was timely, thoughtful and sent great updates and notes about how the care time went. Will definitely be using her services again soon!”
“The girls and I met with Tara, they are excited and will be happy. It easies my mind to have a person that can bond and have fun with them. Look forward to see how they do once Tara starts.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire childhood, I have experience working with dogs at a boarding kennel and daycare. I own a great dane myself so size does not intimidate me. I have given dogs baths, nail trims, medication by mouth and medication by syringe, along with feeding and walking all types of dogs. I currently have a very open schedule, as of right now I am extremely flexible to dog sit or walk when requested. I can give your animal plenty of attention and care. I provide reliable and experienced dog care tailored to your pet’s needs. With a background in a boarding kennel and daycare, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including giant breeds like my own Great Dane. Whether your dog needs feeding, walks, playtime, or just companionship, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Sarah did a fantastic job! We could not be happier with how she handled our home and our Sea Biscuit. The Biscuit is our ten year old cat. He lost interest in the finer points of liter box use. This did not phase Sarah one bit. She kept the house spotless and Biscuit happy. All we could ask for! Thanks so much for making our mini vacation worry free. Thanks!!!! Tim, June and Sea Biscuit 9cay”

Kevin T.
“I’m writing a testimonial as Kevin’s sister. :) Kevin has always loved dogs since he was a little kid and dogs always seem to love them in return. We grew up with a few golden retrievers so he’s been around bigger dogs most of his life. He’s also had roommates with dogs, had done some dog walks and housesitting for clients, and is always looking for opportunities to be around dogs more often! He’s also responsible and has a steady job that allows him to work from home and make his own schedule.”

Steph took care of my rabbit for a long trip away and during the holidays and she went above and beyond. Consistently checked in with plenty of photos and took the extra time and care to keep his space clean and spend some time with him. She even made a special second trip on his birthday that I was unfortunately missing!! I would absolutely recommend her.
