About: I have owned cats all my life and currently own one cat and one dog, both of whom are rescues. My dog did not have the best start to life and as a result continues to require consistent training and guidance to live a stress-reduced life. As I have helped my reactive dog get adjusted to life in a loving home, I've learned that I have a passion for interacting with dogs, or any animal, of all shapes, sizes, and breeds without discrimination. I value creating a trusting bond each animal I interact with and each pet owner that I meet. I recognize that each animal I meet may require specific considerations while providing services and am comfortable with most temperaments that I come across (like I said, having a reactive dog myself has taught me lots of valuable lessons). I have provided drop in care for several family members' animals including both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have volunteered with animal shelters by taking dogs for walks and providing play time. Unfortunately, my neighborhood has several dogs who have gotten out of their yards, however on multiple occasions I have safely leashed the animals and worked with various vet offices to get them returned to their owners. I value direct communication and constructive feedback from pet owners in order to help me provide the type of care that your animal deserves. Whether you need help while you're at work or need someone to walk the dog while you take care of things at home, my schedule can be flexible. I currently work from home, so please message me the times you require services to ensure availability. I care for pets in my own home with love first and foremost but also with clear expectations of what behavior is acceptable. I regularly provide playtime for both of my animals and do obedience training with my dog daily (I am not a certified dog trainer, however have picked up lots of knowledge and skills working with the reputable trainers in my area for my dog).

“Heidi was super great and communicative when doing drop ins with our cats! Super quick to respond and provided lots of cute photos everyday. Our cats loved her!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m caring, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with The pets. I make them feel safe. I am currently a stay at home. I have all the time in the world to just care for them. Walk them play with them feed them. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow their normal routines, including walks, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and lots of cuddles. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

“Lucie was amazing and helped me out massively when I got stuck out of town last minute due to an unexpected family emergency. She stepped right in and took phenomenal care of my girl. She communicated seamlessly and provided amazing updates and photos that ensured I knew Rue was in the best possible hands. Every photo and update was prompt and detailed which completely eased my stress about leaving my pup for so long and showed how happy and comfortable Rue was with Lucie. I’m so incredibly grateful for Lucie and highly recommend hiring her to care for your pup! With Lucie, you can rest assured she will take the absolute best care of your pets!”

About: Throughout my life Since I was 8, I’ve cared and loved for 5 cats, 4 dogs, and 5 lizards. I’ve dealt with 14+ year old cats/dogs, have made bonds with very shy animals, and I’ve house sat before. My partner is a VCA clinic member and can inform me on important information if I notice a health concern with your pet. As a part time student and full time athlete, my mornings, evenings, and nights are happily spent with my cats. Please allow me the opportunity to give that same treatment to your pets. For dog walks, I will physically be able to restrain your dog of any size without hurting them if they try chasing something or get too excited. If you have a super active dog, I can provide high energy play times. I also provide play toys and disposable potty bags on my visits if the homeowner would like.

“Marielle was fantastic with my pups. She was great with making sure to be there around the same times. The dogs warmed up to her very quickly. Lots of pictures and updates. Will 100% book her again!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I personally have 5 animals, 2 cats and 3 dogs. One of my dogs has severe anxiety, I know his triggers and what to do to get him comfortable I work full time, Monday-Friday 8-5. But I am willing to do anything after work. I play softball at night but I am always home after, so no one sleeps alone or in their kennels. I personally have a fenced in yard. If I am at someone’s house with a fenced in yard, I will walk outside with them first so I know the yard. I will always pick up after the dogs on walks or even on a daily basis.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who started dog walking through Rover and quickly realized how much I enjoy spending time with pups and getting them out for a fun walk. I currently work full-time, so my schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I’m not able to commit to a standing weekly walk every week. However, I do have availability for one-time walks and occasional or recurring walks when our schedules line up. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help out here and there, I’d love to meet your pup! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, exercise routines, and special care instructions. And a special note for Great Dane parents: I absolutely LOVE Great Danes! 🐾 I’d be especially excited to meet and walk your gentle giant. 😊 Whether your pup needs a good walk while you’re busy, some extra exercise, or simply a little attention and companionship, I’d be happy to help when my schedule allows. Feel free to reach out with the days/times you need, and we can see if we’re a good match! I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go to pet sitter. I take dogs on their daily walks , keep them entertained, fed and happy. With cats, I keep them company so they never feel lonely while their parents are away and will give them all the cuddles. Your pets will get all the love, laughs, and attention they deserve. Since I’m a part time student, my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether you need daily check ins, walks, playtime, or longer visits, I can usually adjust my schedule to make sure your pets get all the attention they need I live in a cozy tri level home that’s perfect for keeping pets comfortable and safe. I’m able to easily separate my own pets from the pets I’m sitting for, giving everyone their own space while still making sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. Whether they prefer quiet time, room to explore, or lots of snuggles, I can create a safe, relaxed environment that fits their needs while they’re here.

“Brianna always brings my cats the best care when I’m gone and has an elite photo game that perfectly captures my cats’ personalities. She does a great job maintaining the litter boxes and keeping the kitties happy when I’m gone. She makes leaving them a little less difficult.”
