“James and Mallory are two of the best pet sitters in this area! They are kind, patient and LOVE what they do. I never have to worry about my pup when I'm at work. They bring her for walks, to swim and play with her all day. The best part of all is just as I'm starting to miss my baby and wonder what she is up to, Mallory will send me a picture, update and/or video. Her timing is perfect; I think she knows exactly when I need the pick up!”

“April was amazing! This was Bentley's first time away from us. He had the best time playing in the backyard and going for walks with her. He came home happy and completely worn out for the rest of the day. I highly recommend April for anyone looking for a caring and fun place for their pup!”

About: Amelia Massey Chorlton Introduction: Hello, my name is Amelia Massey Chorlton. I have extensive experience with dogs, having cared for them practically my entire life. From raising our family dog Daisy, a Golden Retriever, until her passing due to old age, to currently running a doggy daycare from my home, dogs have always been a significant part of my life. Professional Experience: I recently left my position as a manager at a doggy daycare, where I worked for three years, to focus on working from home. During my time there, I gained valuable experience in understanding and managing various dog behaviors and deepened my love for all types of dogs. In addition to my daycare management experience, I have also managed an intellectual disability group home, a position I also left to work from home. Personal Experience: I currently own four dogs of various sizes and two cats. I live in an in-law housing situation owned by my mother, which allows me the flexibility to separate dogs as needed. If required, I can crate my dogs and cats, ensuring that your pet will never have to meet mine if that’s your preference. Facilities: • My home features a fully fenced backyard that is divided into sections, allowing me to separate my dogs from visiting dogs while keeping everything securely fenced. • The backyard provides plenty of shade, a kiddie pool, and access to the garage, which is equipped with water bowls, food bowls, beds, toys, and is climate-controlled with both AC and heating for the colder months. Services: • The option to separate dogs or provide solo sitting for dogs with reactivity or behavioral issues. • Experience with senior dogs, puppies, and behavioral dogs. • Years of experience training my own and other dogs. • CPR trained and capable of administering medication to dogs that need it. Please consider me for your next dog-sitting needs. I am passionate and dedicated, and I promise to put my all into caring for each and every dog that comes into my home. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, allowing me to maintain a very flexible schedule. I am available for dog sitting, dog boarding, dog walking, cat sitting, cat boarding, and drop-in visits as needed. Additionally, I offer complimentary dog walking services when you book boarding at my home. In my home, I ensure pets are cared for in a safe and comfortable environment. When the weather is pleasant, the dogs can enjoy free access to the backyard, where they can roam freely and even jump in the kiddie pool if they wish. The garage is always open during the day, allowing them to move in and out as they please. On particularly hot or cold days, the backyard is only open for potty breaks. During these times, the dogs stay indoors, with the dog door remaining open for them to access their crates, beds, or toys. This setup ensures they can always find a comfortable spot to relax and play!

About: Experience working one on one with professional trainers and breeders, can administer medications, fenced yard, basic training can be provided for minimal additional cost. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds from small to extra large, volunteered at several animal shelters.

About: Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment. I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night. Whether in my home or yours, I will always ensure to stick to the pet’s routine and comfort level so that their stress levels are low and their needs are met.

About: I’m a retired working dog trainer and competitor and very knowledgeable about dogs and have worked with about every breed. CPR,first aid, nutritionally certified. Your dogs will get the best of the best care. I am currently working full time as a dog trainer, transporter and sitter. I can help you at a moments notice! I have a transport van and can offer pick up and drop off door to door service!! I have a completely fenced in home along with a dog facility. I offer inside the home care and/or inside boarding facility care. Come and take a look today!!

About: I have been a veterinary technician for about 20 years now, working directly with pets and as a medical technician. I am willing to take on dogs with medical issues and can give meds. Currently not working so I am home all day to watch your pets and give them as much love and attention as needed. There will be plenty of outdoor time and walks as needed to get out the extra energy. Fully fenced in yard. Pets usually have free roam of the first and second floor. I do allow pets on furniture but can be strict about not being on it if needed.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life—my own dog James came into my life when I was just 11 years old, and from then on, caring for animals became second nature. I bring a patient, gentle, and intuitive approach to each pet I care for. I’m especially great with shy or nervous dogs and have experience with both playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra TLC. What really sets me apart is how I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, going for long walks, or just providing a calm and loving environment. I’m also detail-oriented, reliable, and great at communicating with pet parents—so you’ll always know your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I often structure my day around my responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it's early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I always find time to give pets the love and attention they need. Caring for animals is something that brings me joy and balance in the middle of a busy academic life—it never feels like a chore. It’s actually one of the most relaxing and rewarding parts of my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space and follow the routine they’ve set for their furry friend. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I work hard to maintain their usual schedule—whether that means feeding at specific times, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or administering medications.

About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.

About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years, they bring me so much joy, I truly enjoy each and every one of them. I am currently working part time and I am looking to fill in my time with something I really enjoy, taking care of pets! 😊 I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take the dogs out leashed and also for walks in my neighborhood or yours.😊I am very trustworthy, I can provide references if needed.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since childhood—they’ve always been a big part of my life! As a stay-at-home mom with two sweet golden retrievers, I’d love to support families who need a little extra help with their furry loved ones. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re part of my own family! As a stay-at-home mom and small business owner (I make homemade dog treats for local farmers markets and craft fairs!), I have lots of availability to care for your beloved pets. I’m available most weekdays and Sundays, and I’d love to give your pup the attention and love they deserve while you’re away! I have a cozy, fenced-in yard perfect for playtime, plus two friendly pups who love making new friends! We live in a peaceful lake neighborhood that’s great for on-leash walks. I’m happy to follow your pup’s routine—whether that includes crate time, free roaming, or anything in between—to help them feel right at home.

About: Hi! I'm Emily and a huge dog lover! I love caring for dogs of all different temperaments and sizes.
