“Katelyn was awesome with our pup Max! From the moment she met with Max I can tell they got along really well. She came on time and kept me updated the entire time she walked him. She’s a great person to trust your pup with and highly recommend her! See you soon Kate 👍🏽”

About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.
“I was very hesitant to use rover. I did not like the idea of random people just coming into my home. Then we found Nicholas and I am so happy we used rover. He has helped me out so many times and my 3 year old golden doodle loves him. I highly recommend using Nicholas if you’re looking for an amazing person to care for your dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

“Mike is an amazing dog walker. You can tell he really loves dogs. He has terrific communication and keeps in tabs with you on your pup. He often goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is okay. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog walker!”

“Kim is the best dog walker I could have ever asked for! She cares for my dog and treats my dog like her own! Whenever my dog was sick, she would message me and see how my dog was feeling and if there is anything she can do to help! She is always extremely kind and flexible to my schedule! I would recommend her 1000 times over to anyone because I know your pet would be in great hands with Kim! She has been walking my dog for the last 7 months and my dog looks forward to seeing Kim every day! It will be a sad day when she can no longer look after my pup when I am at work!”

About: I’ve grown up with my grandmas dog who was a very shy and quiet dog and would usually just walk away from everyone but my grandma and me. Everyone thought he wasn’t a “good” dog because he didn’t really like anyone’s presence, yet they didn’t know how excited he’d get to see me. Sometimes he’d get so excited he’d pee a little! Every year after receiving birthday money I’d make sure to get him a little treat as a kid. Our time was great, and I’ll make sure it’s just as great with your pup! My schedule is lenient and can be adjusted with preparation. Monday-Wednesday 3-7 pm and saturdays from morning to evening is when I’ll most likely always be free! As someone who’s a very big advocator in pets safety and care, I’ll make sure to accept any sort of accommodations for your pet, every pet deserves a best friend no matter their needs!

About: I've been looking after dogs since I could open my eyes. I had a dog for 16 years and recently got a new one. I understand the anxiety of leaving your baby behind, the frustration of having a reactive dog that no one else can handle, and the challenges of potty training an energetic puppy. Let me help you and be your deep breath of relief. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly. Even though I work part-time as a waitress and attend school full-time, I make it a priority to fit in as much pet sitting as I possibly can. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate the necessary time and attention to each pet, ensuring they receive the best care. I care for pets in my home and my client's home with the same dedication I give to my own. Whether it's check-ins or pet walking, I ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Your pet becomes my pet, and I go the extra mile to provide the best care possible.
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

Max was super excited to see Hanarae! She took max out for a 30 mins walk while we were gone on vacation. She did an amazing job getting our big bear some exercise. She was super friendly with Max and took the best pictures of him afterwards haha 10/10 definitely would recommend

Katelyn was awesome with our pup Max! From the moment she met with Max I can tell they got along really well. She came on time and kept me updated the entire time she walked him. She’s a great person to trust your pup with and highly recommend her! See you soon Kate 👍🏽

Sara is wonderful! I’m so grateful for her. She’s very reliable and trustworthy and truly loves what she does.

She’s very kind.
