About: I am an experienced dog sitter and lifelong cat owner with a passion for animal care and wellbeing. I am currently starting my career in zookeeping, where I'm developing my knowledge of animal welfare, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training. I even use positive reinforcement to train my own cats at home! Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I'm happy to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and will do my best to work around your routine. I am detail-oriented and will carefully follow your pet's routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by ensuring your pet receives the same attentive, loving care they're used to at home.

“Mark is so patient and loving to Scooby! Scooby was nervous meeting new people but trusted and loved Mark right away! Thank you for being so good to him!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond caring for my own dogs—I have also helped care for family members’ pets by walking them, giving baths, administering medications, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet happy and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll provide the attention and care they deserve. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the week. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, lots of playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have dogs of my own and i’m very familiar with it all. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I care for every dog the same way I care for my own by creating a safe, supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I make sure any potential choking hazards or items that shouldn’t be chewed, swallowed, or played with are kept out of reach, and I never leave pets alone for extended periods of time. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and surroundings so they can enjoy plenty of play, love, and care while staying safe every step of the way. Along with walking, making sure they are kept hydrated and cool especially in these summer months where it can be dangerous.

“Margaret and Travis were great communicators and took exceptional care of our 2 girls. Great trial run for an extended vacation in the future Thanks so much!”

“Jessica is exactly the kind of person I had hoped to find to take care of our kitties. We’ve used her two times now and are completely happy with her services. She was even able to coax out our shy cat, Fiona. I’m very impressed! 😊”

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”

“Autumn was great with my two young dogs! She was very communicative and provided pictures and updates. It was wonderful to know that my girls were getting some outside and playtime while I was away for the day. I’ll definitely be reaching out for help with my pups again!! 😊”

Sarah & Alex P.

“Hallejia was great! Prompt daily visits with pics and comments on how my dog was doing. I will definitely use her again for pet care if she is available.”

Allen K.

“Kim did a great job with drop in visits with my beagles when I had to suddenly go out of town. I had to extend my stay by a day and she was able to cover that for me as well and check the wildlife cage/trap critters while I was gone. She sent photos of the dogs and must have given them enough attention, because nothing was torn up in the house with boredom or anxiety! Thanks again, Kim.”

Lynda O.

“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!”

“Rachel is wonderful taking care about our cats, she is great with them and also leaving the cat litter box area clean. Desmond and Bolica are super happy to get she as cat sitter, we have repeated with her and we continue to do it.”

“Emily is fantastic! I was a little anxious about leaving my 17 year old cat, who takes awhile to warm up to people, but Emily worked her cat whisperer charm! Both cats were happy, calm, and well loved while we were away. Emily sent loving pictures and updates, and it was so nice to come home to calm kitties. She is thoughtful, responsive, and reliable. We will definitely book with Emily again!”

Lauren W.

“I’ve been relying on Megan for at least a year now and she’s been absolutely great. One of our dogs struggles with overnight boarding, and Megan has been a game changer for us. We’ve never had any issues with her and she’s been available pretty much anytime I ask her. Would highly recommend her to anyone interested in rover!”

Matthew B.

“Claire was amazing. She kept in touch throughout each day while we were out of town watching 3 of our dogs. She is very responsive and sent us pictures every day and took amazing care of our pups.”

About: We are dog lovers! We've had dogs and cats our entire lives and cannot imagine life without pets. Having a busy schedule can be difficult with pets and we would be happy to welcome your dog into our home or stop by for visits . I take lots of pictures and will update you often! I have a 15 year old daughter who loves helping with the dogs just as much as me! We have a tiny chihuahua, she weighs 2.5 pounds. We also have a cat, Morris (Witty). He is an indoor/outdoor cat. We work full time, but if your dog is used to being home during the day alone, we can still take them. We are home in the evenings and most weekends. We have a dog friendly house, they sleep with us, snuggle on the couch and weather permitting we take a lot of walks! Also, fresh water and treats!
