About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up in a pet-loving home, animals have been a constant part of my life for over 20 years. I am completely in my element around them, whether it’s lounging with a sweet, spunky Dachshund or keeping up with the big energy of a Black Lab. Because I’ve lived with pets my entire life, I understand their body language, their unique quirks, and how much they crave routine and affection when their owners are away. I'm not a professional trainer, but I am a dedicated, lifelong animal lover who will treat your fur babies with the exact same care, safety, and devotion I give my own. As a teacher, my schedule opens up completely during the summer months! With my days wide open, I have total flexibility to provide frequent check-ins, midday walks, and plenty of daytime companionship and play when your pets need it most. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced-in yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. They will also have the company of my sweet, senior miniature Dachshund, who is great with other animals and sets a relaxed, gentle vibe. Because of my experience with a senior Doxie, I am incredibly mindful of keeping a watchful eye on small dogs, managing stairs, and maintaining a calm environment. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow their established routines, respect your space, and make sure they get the exact exercise, feeding schedule, and love they are used to in a stress-free environment.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. My pets are my family and I treat them like I do my kids. Currently I own 2 big dogs; a Great Pyr and a rescue shepherd mix. I am familiar with training modifications, along with special eating requirements. I am off all summer as I work in Special Education during the school year. Currently I am available weekends and after 3:30 pm for pet visits/walks during the week. Summer I am available as needed, as well as pet walks/visits day or night. I will follow whatever rules and care the pet owner has in place. I believe pets should be in their own home especially when the stress of their family is away. This allows for the best care.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals varying from hamsters to dogs for as long as I remember. I’ve pet sat for friends numerous times , returned strays to their rightful owners, and of course raised my own fur babies. I love interacting with animals and providing them only the best! Am someone who has always had a passion for animals, Rover has allowed me to provide the car and love your furry babies deserve when you’re away! As I currently work full time but am a very active person, I love being around animals which not only recharges my battery but is also a fun time for them! Being able to match the dogs needs on walks is very important. Whether that’s engaging and active or layed back and relaxed, it’s always a great time!
About: I knew I had a passion for dog-care ever since I was 12 and I would beg my neighbors to let me walk their dogs every week for free. Since then, I have been of service to any of my friends/family with a dog, and I am the first person my own tennis coach goes to when he is out of town and needs his dogs watched, walked, cleaned, fed etc! Its something I find true happiness and enjoyment in every chance i get I am planning on getting a part-time job soon and working a few days a week, so I dont have my full schedule yet. As of right now I am available whenever! I live in a closed off neighborhood with no main roads around, and my house is big enough for any dog to run around, feel safe, and play in!
“It’s always stressful leaving your babies behind for a few days but Dana took great care of our girls. She sent us updates and photos with each visit and took excellent care of our home as well. We will definitely use her in the future.”

“Alex came over for a drop in visit. Our dog has some fear/anxiety issues so we were a bit nervous. He was so great with Dierks and Dierks even ended up falling asleep right next to him. Thankful to have found Alex on here and look forward to future visits!”

About: I used to have a dog - he passed away this past year but he was a big golden retriever! I would love to get back in dog care and take care of your animal ! I am pretty easy going and fun - I love dogs - DM if you want more info. In terms of walking I love walking dogs and take them on excursions and adventures in parks and nature centers, dog shoppes and so much more. Just let me know your dogs triggers and behaviors on walks I’m pretty free during weekends but am also flexible during weekdays - currently I am waiting on starting work but it will be part time so if I am out of the house I will coordinate with you when I can sit I don’t have a fence but a big yard and a big house they can sleep wherever they feel comfortable and get lots of hugs and kissses
“Colby went above and beyond in taking care of our little buddies. She sent plenty of pictures and videos, made sure to play with them, and even swept the floor around the litter box for us which was not expected but much appreciated. She was great at communicating. We would 100% recommend her to anybody looking for a friendly and reliable cat sitter.”


About: Hello, My name is Jayne and I would love to help you! I’ve had cats and had a childhood dog my whole life. I’ve done everything from the walks to the litter clean up and I love doing it for the animals that do so much for us. Would love to service all your needs! I work the typical 9-5 but would love to talk care of your animal companions beforehand or in the weekend. I am flexible on the weekend. I can feed, provide water, clean litter, walks, and overall companionship in your home or mine. Would love to provide a safe environment with any animal.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little as I always had a special bond with dogs. I went to a tech school for veterinary science where we were trained in many things, one of which being nail trimming. I can also assist in training puppies, but I am not a professional trainer. I am currently in college with a part time job. I can stay over the weekend if needed or a couple days during the week. I can walk your dog in the afternoon or evening depending on what works with your schedule. I only have classes 2 days a week where I would be able to let your dog out between my classes if that is what was needed. My schedule is very flexible! I do not do boarding in my home, but your pet will have the comfort of remaining in their safe place at home. I will give updates on how your pet is doing whenever you want them or if you just want to check up on them.
“I felt confident that my pet was safe and content as Antonia seems to be a natural with dogs that aren’t perfect. She also altered her schedule and allowed me to have Additional care with no notice! So grateful…. I will definitely rebook!”

“Our boy was too shy to come out and meet Heather but she did a great job providing updates that he was eating, using the litter box, and left treats for him as well. Thank you for taking great care of Boo and our place while we were gone.”

About: I’ve been a consistent pet owner since birth! I grew up caring for cats, rabbits, turtles, gerbils, and fish. As an adult, I have been trusted with care and medicating pets of all kinds, including even my own pet-sitter’s dog and cat! My last dear pet passed away last summer and now I am free to care for yours in my home or yours. I love animals of all types and sizes, from the tiniest jumping spider to the largest Great Dane, and they all seem to love me back! I take deep pride in keeping your animals happy and safe I am currently available to meet your needs. I have open availability during the day/evening for walk/play/feeding visits, and I have the availability to house your pet overnight in my home I live in a townhouse so while I don’t have a large yard or one that’s fenced in, there are plenty of areas in the neighborhood for dog-walking and tons of dog neighbors as well. Your potty-trained pet can have free reign of my home if that’s something you’d like. I will be happy to discuss and follow any specific needs you have for your pet!

I cannot say enough great things about Emily! This was our first time booking with her and everything was seamless. She came for a meet and greet with our crew about a month ahead, and we communicated a few days before her sitting. Pictures and notes were posted daily. Even when I occasionally didn’t have cell service, no worries. Emily treated our pets like family, which allowed us to relax 😎
