“This is my third time having BJ out to walk my Boston Terrier and it went very well as per usual. She always makes sure he is taken care of and she even fed my cat and scooped his litter box for me! Both of my creatures love BJ and she’ll always be my first choice for a sitter.”

“Emily was awesome. Saved the day for me and took her time with my baby. Would highly recommend.”

About: I've had pets of my own for most of my life, and have easily made 'friends' with family and friends pets. I'm trusted by many friends and family to watch their dogs over the course of a weekend trip. I tend to treat them like children! Range of care for pets are from puppy to senior care. Exercising them with a game of fetch, or slow paced to their needs. I'm currently growing a mobile grooming business, and building a clients list from the ground up. Pets are my passion! I'm available many days-any day of the week to help take care of your pet! I have a fenced in backyard, and 4 friendly dogs that are welcoming of other dogs! We allow pets on couches and beds. We do have a 13 and 7 year old in the house that have grown up around dogs, and are gentle and kind! When caring for pets in your home, I'm respective of your space, and make sure your pet is loved, freshened water and food when needed. Treats are a perk!

About: Back in 2022 I had one girl ask if I can watch her dog and I told her of course I love dogs and then after that I had so many more people asked me after I told them that I watch dogs and cats and ever since then I absolutely loved what I did. Seeing different types of pets with different personalities made me love it more. So I work throughout the week and I wanted to start only on the weekends first just to get myself through the door but maybe in the future I can make this a full time job Mostly a lot of the animals I took care of I got to be apart of there homes all of them so I got to stay over take care of them play with them take them on long walks feed them and just show them lots and lots of love and attention cause that’s what they need. Every animal is different so whatever the client tells me I will follow instructions through and I love to send lots of pictures of there animals to clients to let them know they are safe and in good hands

“My dog loves this family, and she saved me with a last minute booking over the holidays. Easy recommendation to anyone needing their pup looked after.”

About: Hi, I’m Kristin! I’ve been a dog mom for years and have cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting in your home. Living near the beach gives me plenty of options for walks and outdoor play, but I’m just as comfortable spending quiet time indoors with pets who prefer snuggles and companionship. I can help with feeding, medications, and basic routines to keep things consistent while you’re away. We hired a professional trainer for our own dog, so I have experience in leash training and reinforcing basic commands. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, visits, or overnight care. Most of my camera roll is pictures of my dog, so I'm well versed in dog photography! I'll keep you updated with pictures and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy until you return. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and snuggle with your pet, giving them lots of attention and care throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home, following their routine and any instructions you provide. I can feed them, give medications, take them for walks, and spend time playing or cuddling. I treat every pet like my own, keep your home tidy, and send updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.

About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.

About: Hi, I’m Kensington! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—everything from cuddly pups and finicky cats to aquatics and scaly creatures (yes, really). I treat every pet like family, with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them unique. Whether your dog needs a walk, your cat needs a lap to claim, or your shy pet just needs a calm presence, I’ve got them covered. My whole workweek typically revolves around pet care and ensuring other people’s furry friends are well taken care of. As for when I’m not working, I take care of all the sweet furry (and scale-y!) babies in my own home! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving space to shy pets, or providing plenty of play and snuggles. I keep your home clean and respect your space, just like I do with the animals I care for. I’m experienced, adaptable, and always ready to make your pet feel loved and secure while you’re away.

About: Please note we only accept small/medium breed dogs, up to 25 lbs. This allows us to keep our guests safe and comfortable. We have many safety features to offer, such as our Ring alarm system, front porch rails with secure gate, as well as doggie gates inside and a fully fenced in yard for your pups to play and or do their business. I have been pet sitting in my home since 2013 and have a system that works. You will be impressed with our pet friendly layout and will be comfortable leaving your dog(s) with us. Our requirements are that your pet is family and pet friendly, fully vaccinated as well as spayed or neutered (not necessary for home visits/walks.) You supply the food/snacks and medications. If necessary oral medication (pills) dispersement is included. I also offer home visits (drop-ins) and dog walks for dogs over 25 lbs (or smaller of course) and cats. Our visits/walks are a great option when we are booked or if your dogs would feel more comfortable in their own home. We offer a free 15 minute meet and greet if time allows. We have an 10 yr old Sheltie/Corgie mix. Roxie is about 23lbs . With a Sheltie breed, Roxie helps herd the dogs , so she is actually part of our team. Roxie keeps a watchful eye on the other dogs, sometimes making them a play friend and other times observing them from a distance. About my yard My yard is small but safe. The fence is 6 feet tall reinforced by bricks underneath, even the great escape artists have not been able to penetrate our fencing, although many have tried. I do not leave dogs out too long, especially in the summer or during our short winter season. Occasionally I will need to mop the floors to keep the house as clean as possible. I do not make a habit of crating dogs but on occasion if a dog has exhibited threatening behavior or if I've noticed extreme separation anxiety and I need to leave the house for a little bit.

“Excellent, caring & incredibly reliable dog walker. I genuinely appreciated her work!”

About: Hi! I have had a variety of dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bath their pets. There is nothing more that brings me joy then hanging out with any fur baby. I do photography on the side and I am always more than welcome to snap some pictures of your pups! I am currently in between (remote) jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. Looking for work to keep me busy! I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedules. I have a 5 year old pitbull chocolate lab mix who is very energetic and friendly! We go on hikes, trips to Starbuck, for a pup cup of course and play fetch. I am a very reliable and friendly person who will make sure that your fur baby is content and comfortable. I had found/rescued Grace (my current pup) on the side of the road when she was 5 weeks old in very poor condition. She was malnourished and had mange. After vet appointments after vet appointment she regained some weight and got rid of the mange and now she is the sweetest girl! I am so lucky!

About: I am new to this site, but have used Wag! for quite some. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child and since then have taken care of almost every type of domestic animal. Whether you need your dog or cat walked, sat for, or boarded I can help. There's no dog too stubborn or cat too mean. I'm comfortable with all animals. Anything can be worked out... if there are instructions I need to follow, information I need to learn, or skills I need to master to make you feel safe, leaving your loved one with me I am willing. I am perfectly comfortable administering pets medication, tending to elderly pets, or even bottle-feeding any type of fur baby. When it comes to boarding, I have two live-in very friendly doodles, I trust them implicitly but they can be easily be kept (via large centrally located gate) separate from your fur baby if necessary or you feel more comfortable that way. I have a large fenced in backyard. My property is covered in cameras, both inside and out. I also have a GPS tracked fence and can have your pup wear a gps collar while staying here if you’d like for extra security. I would also be happy to pick-up and drop-off your pet to help make your travel plans more convenient and less stressful for you. I am not a giant stickler for start and stop times. No one can plan for traffic or a delayed flight. Travel is stressful enough so there should be no need to worry about that, everything can be worked out. Feel free to book me for sitting services if you need help whelping when your dog is in labor I am very familiar and could be a great help. I’m excited to meet and spend time with your fur baby family member 😁😁😁 I work from home, so I’m available for as many pet walks as walks as necessary, pet sitting and boarding. If I board your pet they will almost never if not actually never be left alone. I live in a house in a safe friendly neighborhood. I have a large fenced in yard that is reinforced with industrial chicken wire to prevent any smaller pups from escaping. Also, any dog that is to stay at my house can (upon owner request and or approval) be fitted with a GPS tracker for their stay here so they can be monitored by me at all times, even when just in the backyard. My property is covered outside and in with cameras and I have a security system. I have every size of cage and playpen if you’d like your pet to be kennel at night or if I have to run out for a minute. I also have a large gate in the main hallway of my house, which can be used to keep your pet separate from my two friendly doodles if that makes you more comfortable.

About: Being a mother of 2 and having grown up with animals my whole life, I know how important it is to leave your “babies” in the hands of someone you can trust. I’ve grown up with pets and have 20+ years experience caring for them. I have had dogs mostly but have cared for cats, birds and gerbils. I would describe myself as nurturing, responsible, active, and fun! I work from home so I am free and available to care for your pet and am able to provide frequent potty breaks and care. I live in an apartment and I am not strict about animals on the couch or bed. I live in a great neighborhood, next to parks, open fields and the beach, perfect for dog walking and outside activities!

“Erik has been right on time and is very friendly and engaging with both of my big, energetic dogs. I really appreciate the time he takes to assure each dog that they will be in good hands when they leave for their walk. Thank you Erik!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and have been walking and pet-sitting since I was 15. I have experience staying overnight with pets and caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. My own rescue dog taught me how to be patient and gentle with timid dogs, and I’ve carried that into every pet I care for. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, taking dogs out for the day and walking them whenever I can. This experience has helped me work confidently with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m a passionate dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’m a student at Coastal Carolina, so my schedule varies a bit. On M/W I don’t have class until 4:00 pm, so I’m free anytime before that or after 5:30 pm. On T/Th, I have classes from 8:00 am until 1:30 pm, and am free anytime after. Fridays I have off, and my weekends are mostly wide open for me, unless I’m heading home, which doesn’t happen too often. I’m pretty flexible and always keep communication open about my availability. When I’m walking or visiting dogs at their homes, safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure to follow any instructions the owner provides closely, keep dogs on leash during walks, and stay attentive to their behavior to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. I respect each dog’s space and routine, and always leave the home as clean and organized as I found it. Building trust with both the pet and owner is important to me, and I’m committed to providing reliable, caring support every time.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.
