About: Let's be real: our pets are family, and they deserve to be cared for like it! I've cared for dogs, cats, and other animals since I was young, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I grew up taking care of not only my own animals, but also the animals of friends and neighbors, acting as a house-sitter and pet-sitter part time while in high school and college. My two dogs are Beesley and Hal, and caring for them has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Over the years, we've taken training classes together and enjoyed plenty of walks, hikes, lake days, road trips, and trips to farmers markets. Having dogs of my own has taught me how much their routines, personalities, and little quirks matter. I love getting to know each animal as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. Whether your pup needs a walk and some playtime or your dog or cat needs a drop-in visit for company, feeding, or a little extra attention, I'd love to help! My goal is to make sure your pets feel cared for and that you have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Since I work from home and have a fully remote school schedule, my availability is incredibly flexible! Need a mid-day check-in and a walk? I'm there! Out late and need a last minute sitter? Sounds perfect! I emphasize positive reinforcement and play with my pets and my client's pets. Maintaining your house rules with your pet while building trust through engagement and some light training (basic obedience) will help me establish a relationship with your pet based on mutual trust and play. Dogs deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and confident, and I feel so lucky that I get to be part of that.
About: I have taken care of several dogs house sitting before over the years! I have house sat for a large Husky who was very old, small Havpoo with high energy, medium sized Mutt mix with anxiety issues, and other dogs in between! I have a high variety of animals I’ve taken care of with their special care needs. I am confident and capable of providing loving, patient, diverse care to your pet I currently work at Dutch Bros, which is primarily a morning job and is heavily customizable. My weekends are Monday and Tuesdays, so I can provide care on days that you are away at work where I am fully prioritizing your pet only! I am able to come throughout the week as well since I mainly work in the morning other days and work my second job later at night! So I can give your pet lots of time throughout the day that you may not be home to do! It is also another way I am trying to exercise more while putting money into my savings. I have lots of toys in my home and comfy animal blankets so your loved one feels right at home! I am also able to provide lots of play time so they don’t feel cooped up ever since I have trying to exercise more. I have pet safe cleaning supplies as well to take care of any accidents or smells that have a hard time going away!
About: I provide reliable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need patience and gentle care. I follow detailed instructions closely, including meds and feeding schedules. What sets me apart is the attention and time I give, pets aren’t just checked on, they’re cared for and kept comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to stay consistent with walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Because I prioritize time and flexibility, I’m able to give pets reliable attention and keep their routines steady and stress free while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home only, not boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. For walks and check-ins, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and any care they need like feeding or medications. For overnight stays, I provide consistent companionship, follow their usual schedule, and keep their space clean and calm. I always stick closely to owner instructions and give updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have 2 very friendly cats named toothless and simba who love to play. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens and for senior animals with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. I work at home full time as a freelancer. I’m able to give your dog or cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I work from home so I’m pretty flexible with times and days. Both week and weekend availability. I just need a 1 day notice. Your pets will feel safe with me and get lots of extra attention while you are away. If your pet has any special needs, please let me know.
“Jennifer, Kenneth and the girls do a terrific job walking Walter. He sits by the front door waiting in eager anticipation of their arrival! I appreciate their flexibility and excellent communication. Thank you for making this such a pleasurable experience!”
About: I was taught that caring for someone's home and loved ones is a true privilege. I bring that same philosophy to every pet I care for, treating them with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I was raised around multiple dogs and cats in our home from the moment I was born all the way to now. We considered them family and always cared for them with the utmost love and care. As an adult I have cared for my pets with zero incidence. After college I walked three dogs for over a year each and loved absolutely every moment of it. All without incidence. These were some of the most fun moments in my career in my 20's. Now, I have free time and would love to occupy that free time with taking care of other people's animals again. I am all of my friends go-to pet sitter. Both in my home and theirs. Known as "Auntie Nushie and a dog-god-mother to many. I nurse birds back to health, I don't kill insects, and I bring a level of calm energy to even the most chaotic of scenarios. My own dogs and cats are testimony to my ability to train puppies and socialize kittens. So, if you have fur babies, I will have organized training sessions with them. Whatever your pets needs, I am here for them! Whether it's an energetic walk, medication administration, senior care, or simply keeping them company while you're away, I naturally make all animals feel safe, happy, and at ease. I am punctual, tidy, responsible, and a great communicator; who may or may not take extremely great portraits of animals. I want your pets to feel excited when I arrive, loved while you're away, and relaxed when you come home. And for you, I hope every update and photo gives you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands. I currently work from home and have an open availability. I will not be available before 9AM on week days and 11AM on weekends. I sometimes travel for work but will give you a 4 days advance notice. Prefer having a set schedule for walking, pet sitting, or drop off. Your Home: I leave everything better than I found it. If it's a rainy day? No coming home to muddy footprints. If I come over and a dog has had an accident, I clean up after them. I send updates at the beginning and end of each visit. I am very responsible and have always locked up after myself. Zero incidences of gates left open, dogs running off their leash, confrontations with other animals, and never any safety concerns. My Home: I have 2 small dogs, Luna and Hank who both love other dogs. My cat loves dogs (even other cats) as well. She spends most of her days laying out in the yard and my dogs are always glued to my hip. My yard is large, fenced in, and has both shady and sunny areas. I have 3 separate water bowls around the house and keep the bowls sanitized and full. If you have special food or treats, I will gladly keep them here separate for your pet. I have a large 4 bedroom home with 2 living rooms. Even on the rainiest days, there is plenty of room here to have playtime.
About: I'm a positive reinforcement–based dog trainer. If you're working on training with your dog, I'm happy to reinforce those skills while you're away to help maintain the progress you've made. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, as well as dogs that may need a little extra patience or understanding. Every dog is different, and I think their care should reflect that. I'll tailor each visit to your dog's personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which makes it easy to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm usually able to accommodate a variety of times for either one-time visits or something more regular. My goal is to stick to your dog's normal schedule and routines as closely as possible. Just let me know what that looks like, and I'll make it happen. When I'm in your home, I follow the Scout motto: "Leave it better than you found it." I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine.
“Emily has been a wonderful and reliable dog walker for our Labrador puppy, with dozens of visits/walks from true baby puppyhood to adolescence. We feel very comfortable with her and she has always been communicative and flexible.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, my family has had dogs (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s) that I’ve helped take care of and watch. I’ve also helped neighbors and friends watch their dogs both bigger and small dogs as well. I’ve experienced dog-sitting for those who need a little more senior dog attention to younger dogs that are more playful, and have always been very good with animals. My schedule is currently can be flexible, so I can make time to hang out and play with your dogs or cats. I’m available weekdays during the day, generally after 10am and before 4pm I am very good with animals and helping them feel comfortable. For drop-in visits and dog-walking, I’m good at sending little updates on your pets with each visit.
About: I grew up having a dog in the house so I know what it’s like to care for one, and the responsibilities that come with it. I believe dogs are like humans meaning they need the same love and attention that we do. While your dog is in my care we will go on walks, I’ll play with them, and take care of all its basic needs as well as providing pictures and videos to keep you updated. One of my special skills is that I am very patient with animals. I know it’s hard to trust a stranger with your fur baby but I am very trustworthy and caring and will treat your dog as if it was my own. Thank you very much!
About: I've had pets most of my life and I consider them as family. My clients have said that I'm the dog Whisperer.I develop a strong bond with the pets I take care and they all love me. I can administer meds and I can do brushing, feeding, fetching, walking, bathing of animals if necessary and lots of tlc. I haven't found an animal that I haven't loved. I do have transportation to take them to parks and other places that they need to go to. My clients all say that I have truly made a very large difference in their pets lives as well as their own. I also do basice training of dogs. Several of my clients have given me keys to their homes. I'm retired and my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm open to walking dogs twice a day if the owner wants me to that. I can also do last minute requests also. I have a cat and he has a very easy life living with me. I take care of dogs and cats that I walk or house sit with like they are part of my family. I treat them with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

Tabitha is awesome! Tabitha tuned in to my senior dog Charlie and his needs as he went on his walk. I injured my knee and couldn't walk Charlie. He loves his walks so having you help out when our other Rover Care Giver for Charlie wasn't available to walk him, thank you Tabitha for helping out. You are truly a Godsend.
Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog made all the difference. Finding someone you trust with your pet is extremely important, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Marissa. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
Here’s a natural, Rover-style review you could post: Christopher was absolutely fantastic with our dog. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and cares about animals. He was always on time, communicative, and went above and beyond during every visit. He took our dog on great walks around the neighborhood and even picked up the pace and ran with him when he wanted to run, which our dog absolutely loved. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. Christopher was reliable, attentive, and treated our dog like his own. We’ve used several dog walkers over the years, and Christopher is easily the best we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Stafford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
