“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child. I have experience in puppy and senior care. I spent many years rescuing cats and volunteering in a cat shelter. I currently have two senior dogs and am comfortable in special care and administering medicine. I am home all day so I can offer constant care if needed. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be dedicated to caring for your fur baby. I enjoy working with animals. I can care for your animals in my home. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also come to your home, drop in or walk your fur baby(s). My schedule is flexible.

“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”


“Kiara did an awesome job staying at our house with our cat and dog. She communicated often, followed instructions to a T, and went above and beyond our expectations! We came home to a tidy house and happy pets. If our wild animals didn't drive her too crazy, we would love to have her petsit for us again!”

“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”


About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for over 20 years, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. From tiny pups to senior dogs, I’ve helped with walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime—always with patience, love, and attention to their needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me time and time again to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely passionate about animals of every shape and size. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work a part-time job and also run my own pet care services, working closely with VIP clients and even a few politicians. I’m used to managing a flexible, yet reliable schedule that allows me to prioritize each pet’s needs with care and attention. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I treat every pet like family, following their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime. Since I work with high-profile clients, I understand the importance of trust, privacy, and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always ensure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.

“Ashly was amazing with our 2 dogs. She stayed with them for about 11 days and we received multiple updates and photos from the time she was with them. She left our house in amazing condition as well and there were zero issues while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I’ve dealt with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. All of our dogs have been pitbull mixes, but I have helped family members with their smaller dogs as well. I am available anytime throughout the day for services! I love taking walks almost everyday, so I’d be more than comfortable walking dogs as well. In a clients home, I am very open minded with many situation such as shoes off at the front door, etc. I love playing with pets and giving them company that they need.

About: I've owned dogs of all kinds, big and small, young and old, as well as many cats, bunnies, and reptiles. Whichever type of pet you have, I will dedicate myself to making sure your companion safely has their needs met! I am a plant lover, so if you have any plants that need taken care of, I am willing to do that as well.🌿 I love to take cute pictures and will keep you plenty updated while you are away! I'm very flexible with scheduling and can help your pet at almost anytime. My Rover calander is updated frequently but feel free to reach out with any questions of availability, and I will do my best to accomodate you! Aside from giving rides in my personal life, my days are very open, so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets.🐾 Your trust means a lot to me, and I want to surpass expectations. Communication is my top priority and I will make sure that you, your pets and I, all have a great time together. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns!

“Sydney was an amazing sitter!! Our dogs are quite difficult to deal with and Sydney took it all in stride. Our smallest dog even escaped our yard (totally not Sydney's fault, he is just a difficult dog) and Sydney stayed on the phone with us until he was safely home. I highly recommend Sydney!”


About: I have cared for dogs both as a child and adult. They are one of life’s joys and I really enjoy being with them all I am semi-retired and set my own schedule. This allows me to be available when needed with enough notice and planning. I am excited about this. I can crate if needed. I walk dogs at least one time a day and would feed according to the owner’s instructions. Not a problem.

“Kale was very patient when getting to know Sadie with her separation anxiety. He let her warm up and loved on her with treats. I was very worried about leaving her with someone else, but I could see she was in good hands from the meet and greet. My other pup Reeses took to him right away. He insisted on hanging out with them during the fireworks so Sadie wouldn’t be scared. He communicated with me every time he let them out and let me know how they were doing. We will definitely use Kale in the future.”


“Tiffany was fantastic! We got so many photos and updates! She loved on our babies the same as we do! We could not asked for a better sitter for our girls! Will definitely be using Tiffany again”


“The moment i opened my door to see Danielle in person, I knew she was exactly what my boys need when i am away from home. She is quick to smile and very calm. She is mature and intuitive beyond her years; she communicates very well and is responsive to messages usually within a couple minutes at the most. It is not an easy thing to hand over your house keys and leave your fur-babys with a stranger, but after talking to her for just a couple minutes, I felt like i had known her for years. I got home very late from my trip, and was pleasantly surprised that she had cleaned up the house. The next morning she texted me to make sure I got home ok :) I believe that I have found a true gem and my dogs and I are very blessed. I plan on hiring Danielle every other week when I travel for work or when I get the chance, to travel for fun!”


About: Canines have been an addition to our families for many years. I am filled will joy, loving on the pups! What a great blessing they have been! I am self employed. I get to choose my schedule, so flexible is an understatement. Always make tike for the things things you love, right? Animals that are house trained can free roam unless owner requests otherwise. I do not have, but will be building a fence in the spring! 🫶🙌

About: Woof! Im a responsible and trustworthy military veteran with a true passion for dogs.I have ample experience, having helped run a nonprofit dog rescue for many years. I’m kind, gentle, patient, and extremely comfortable around canines. Being an active and energetic kind of gal, your babies will have a blast during their time with me! Their paws will be in good hands. P.S ( I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own). I work from home, (free lance writing) and have plenty of time to host your dog. Being a homebody, I only step out for a few hours, for kickboxing and weight training. I have an extremely large yard with lots of room for: exercise, playtime, and exploring. And I’m well equipped with several doggy condos (crates and cages).
