“I found Jodi through Rover and she's been walking my good boy Ozzy for quite some time now. I got to witness her walk routine as well! She gives him a threat and pets upon the walk's conclusion. She is very flexible and promptly responds whenever I contact her about a potential booking. Excellent service by Jodi!”

“Patrick and Karyn have taken my dog on three walks this week! They are incredibly kind and it’s very obvious that they are caring people. Upon meeting I felt very comfortable with them and trusted them to take good care of tuna (my doggy) while I was at work. They are so responsive and give updates throughout the entire visit. I’ll continue to book their care and highly recommend! Thank you so much 😊”

14. Arin P.
About: I grew up fostering dogs and cats and have cared for dogs of all ages with a wide variety of needs. I am experienced with dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sorts as well as cats, fish, tarantulas, birds, guinea pigs, and lizards. I currently work full time on a flexible schedule and am able to work remotely most days for at least half the day. My normal workday is from 10-6. I prefer to meet your pet where they are at and only use crates if that is what they are used to and comfortable with. I also always walk dogs with a leash and harness and prioritize safety. I will only let them off leash inside the home or at a fenced dog park with your approval.
15. Sarah Z.

18. Grace W.
About: Hi there! I'm Grace, and I'm an experienced dog lover ready to help take care of your furry friend. I’ve had a dog of my own for 14 years and have had the pleasure of dog-sitting for family and friends over the years. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just cuddling up on the couch, I understand how important it is to make sure your dog feels safe and loved when you're away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and can adapt to your dog’s individual needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more chill and laid-back. You can count on me to provide quality care, give lots of attention, and keep your pup's routine as normal as possible. Let me know how I can help—whether it's for a day, a weekend, or longer. Your dog will be in good hands! I’m available most days of the week, including overnight stays, and I’m flexible with your dog’s routine. I just ask for a few days’ notice to ensure I can accommodate your schedule. If I’m sitting at your home, I treat your place with care and make sure your dog feels like they’re in familiar surroundings. I’ll follow your specific guidelines for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain their routine. I’ll also take care of any additional tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or anything else you need while you're away.

I am currently caring for pets of all kinds. It’s my main focus and I also do e commerce, sell on Etsy, Poshmark and Amazon. Since I work for myself I am available at all times of the day and night. I will follow pet owner’s instructions with lots of love and care. I know that many may have special needs and am prepared to do whatever I need to to make pets and owners comfortable and happy!
