“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
“Jordan was great. She was also EXTREMELY accommodating. My other dog walker fell through, so it was very last minute. But she was able to help me out. I will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda was great! We needed her to walk our dog while we were gone all day to visit family out of town on Christmas Day. We were first time Rover users and a little nervous, but Amanda graciously allowed us to do a “meet and greet” a few days before so Snickers was familiar with her. We only needed her to walk her so she could potty, but Amanda went above and beyond and stayed with her the whole 30 minutes she was booked with us. Amazing! And on Christmas Day too. 😊”
About: I've been taking care of animals (both cats and dogs) since childhood! Family pets are near and dear to my heart. I can provide quality care for your furry friends and provide prompt updates and photos when you are away from them. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently working part-time before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dependable drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I offer reliable transportation to reach your home and can transport pets if needed. During drop-in visits, I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, playtime, and prompt updates with photos to keep you at ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority.
“Jeff did a great job walking our dog and provided ample updates—He also gave our cat some treats and provided a picture update of her as well! We will use Jeff again”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have dog-sat for many years. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m a college student with a set class schedule, but I’m available outside of those hours to help care for your pup. I’m reliable, communicative, and always do my best to respond quickly. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy.
“Mackenzie is punctual and so great with Belle. Belle likes to bark at squirrels, but Mackenzie is very calm and gets Belle to keep walking. A feat for a Black/Tan. Will definitly use her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets growing up, and we have always had cats. I am proud to say I helped train my latest family puppy all the tricks she knows! I work part time but only on Friday and Saturday nights. I only do pickup shifts. I’m out of school so my schedule is fairly open.

About: I’ve grown up on farms my whole life, surrounded by cows, dogs, and other animals. This hands-on experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and care. I’m patient, reliable, and can confidently manage daily routines, feeding, and general care. I'm a third-year pharmacy student who goes on daily walks and runs, so incorporating pet care into my routine isn’t a problem at all. I’m active, responsible, and looking for something meaningful to do in my free time. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle and gives me a chance to spend time doing something I truly enjoy. Due to college housing restrictions, I’m currently unable to have dogs in my own home. However, I’m frequently around them and often care for and walk my boyfriend’s dogs at his home. This has allowed me to stay comfortable and confident with handling pets in a home environment.
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding. Here I have learned how to bathe, nail trim, read body language, and deeply care about these furry friends. I work with all kinds of dogs, ranging in size/breed and age. I also have owned dogs my whole life, as have my friends, which I pet sit for frequently. My availability is fairly open. I can be more specific with the pet parents as we connect, in order to find something that works great for both of us. I do not offer services within my home, as I live in an apartment downtown. However I will follow any instructions given diligently. I have experience in reading dog's body language, which will give me insight into what I need to do and how to keep the pup safe.
