“Sharon was amazing! She came over before we needed help with Fitz to meet him, and he loved her at first sight. She was communicative, quick to respond, and timely. I highly recommend!”

About: I've cared for animals of all species since I was a kid. Whether it's for drop-in visits for play, walks, and exercise, or extended stays, it's always a joy to get to know each animal's unique personality. Whether they're full of energy or full on couch potatoes I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. I have experience with senior dogs, anxious dogs, highly active dogs, and those with specific medication schedules. I'm also experienced with (and a big fan of!) caring for cats-whether they're shyer with new folks or instant lovebugs! I'm available daytime Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and during the weekend. I also have flexible evening availability during the week. I am available for house-sitting both over weekends and by arrangement during the week. I care for people's pets in their homes, either on a drop-in basis for walks, play, and exercise, or for overnight pet-sitting. I like to begin with a meet and greet with owners and pets to get to know both parties, and get an introduction to the care needs and personality of the pet. My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxing environment for your animal and to communicate with you so that you have peace of mind while you are away.

“Isabella was an exceptional walker for my dog, Zizou! She was a great listener during our first meet and greet and enthusiastically praised Zizou’s walking skills. She was so great that she offered to walk my dog again!”

“I've been using Jessica for weekly walks with my puppy, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! My pup absolutely loves their time together. it's clear that Jessica genuinely cares and brings great energy to every walk. Even though it's just once a week, I’ve noticed a positive difference in my puppy’s behavior and confidence, which socializing is very important at this stage. She is reliable, communicative, and always gives me helpful updates after each walk, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pup! A keeper!”

About: I excel in multitasking, providing companionship, and assisting with various tasks. I'm well-versed in training puppies and offering support for seniors, making me a versatile and caring sitter. I allocate time daily for feeding, exercise, and playtime.

About: I’m an experienced pet care professional with a strong background in animal handling, grooming, and basic training. Over the past nine years, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies to senior dogs—giving me the skills to provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to each dog’s needs! My goal is to ensure every outing is fun, structured, and stress-free, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands! I graduated from a technical high school where I worked with a plethora of animals, mainly focused on basic dog training and grooming. I have then furthered my education by earning an Associate’s Degree as an Animal Care Specialist. I also have years of hands-on pet care experience, including pet sitting and walking for a variety of dogs. Additionally, I’ve worked at a shelter, providing daily care, enrichment, and safe handling for dogs and other animals of all sizes and personalities. I am available for walks on Fridays after 3:30 pm, Saturdays any time, and Sundays anytime before 7:30 pm, please let me know what works best for you!! Safety is my number one priority when working with any animal! Pets are always leashed and monitored very closely! Ensuring your pet is always comfortable and happy during our walks is my main focus! I follow all the instructions or specifications provided for your dog’s care. Your home and belongings are always treated with respect and I will ensure your home will be secure.

“Megan did a great job walking our boys. She was prompt, sent update pictures, and she was very communicative throughout the process. We will be scheduling her again as soon as we’re in need.”

Patrick C.

“Astrid did a great job walking our dog. She was super communicative about how he was doing and sent photos along the way. Even if Leo wanted to come home early from the walk she still made sure that he got his full 30 minutes of interaction and would stay with him and play a little. Would definitely use Astrid again!”

“It was great meeting Keelyn today! Rose and Keelyn were fast friends.”

“Alexa worked around our schedule to take Lola out, fed her, and took great photos”

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Nothing makes me happier! You will truly never meet someone more excited to care for your pet. I am enthusiastic, warm, friendly, and I go above and beyond in any job I do. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My schedule is flexible, so I can move things around to accomodate you and your pet :D. I am free on both weekdays and weekends. I have found in the past that caring for pets outside of their homes often causes more stress, on top of the fact that they are trying to learn to trust a new stranger. For this reason I much prefer to care for your pets in their own homes. I love instructions, and will follow your schedules to a T. I want nothing more than to keep your pet safe and happy (in that order)!

“Mariia seemed to do a great job managing our very strong and energetic pup. She took him for an hour long walk and we appreciated that she gave him some good exercise while my husband was out of town. Banjo came home tired out!”

About: I have 20 years of experience with looking after pets of all ages to the best of my ability. I treat your pet as if they’re my own and ensure they’re able to be as happy as could be, while their parents are away. I ensure to send updates, pictures, and videos for your peace of mind. I have experience with administering medication to pets, both pills and liquid. Written instructions are appreciated, but not required. 🙂 I’m focusing on my Rover clientele so I am available full-time. Please contact me for a meet and greet and see where everything goes from there! I am not able to offer boarding at home, but am able to take care of your babies in the comfort of your home where they’re most comfortable. If you prefer to provide instructions for your pets, I will follow them. You will receive a lot of pictures and videos of your fur babies as well.

“Cassie loves dogs and is very responsible. When you schedule a walk with her, you know you can count on her to be there for your pet and give them excellent care. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: For the past 22 or so years, I have had no fewer than 3 dogs at a time. My walking and training skills have been honed by the over 10,000 hours spent living with them, and I have also taken many classes about dog training, behavior, etc. Had I not graduated, I would've been a dog beauty school dropout because I earned a degree in grooming that I have never used. I have been seriously toying with the idea of attending a school to become a professional dog trainer because it'll benefit my own dogs and the ones in my care even if I never have it be my vocation. Prior to my current job, owner/operator of a dog day care, I was an animal control officer, and prior to that, I worked at animal hospitals for about 5 years. I have also volunteered for shelters and rescues.

“Beth was great! Excellent communication and very responsive, especially so last minute!”

Peter B.

About: I have a good understanding of basic animal behavior, and know when to recognize when a pet is feeling uneasy or excited. I’m great at communicating as well Being at home for college break, I am able to be at home for many hours for around the clock care. I grace a flexible schedule. There is a park nearby my house where I usually walk dogs around. It is a safe area. I also am respectful of rules set by the homes of hosts.

“Keira is great with dogs. She is attentive and responsible”

About: Hi! I am a 30 year old professional working in technology sales and I work from home full-time. I grew up in a family with multiple cats and dogs and have experience caring for pets since the age of 12. My family’s dogs included a Jack Russell as well as a Bernese, so I’m used to caring for dogs of all sizes. I also have my own fur baby named Thor who is a five year old Samoyed, so I am used to taking care of high maintenance and strong-willed breeds as well. I am very energetic and love being outdoors, going on runs, hikes, walks and more! I am home almost all week days/ weekends, and would love to walk or board your dog and treat them as if they were my own- I’m sure Thor would love to have some dog friends around too! I’m incredibly responsive, so if you have any questions/ concerns during your dog’s stay with me, I will promptly reply and send plenty of photo updates as well. *Due to the safety of other dogs and my own, I am not accepting pitbulls or pitbull mixes at this time* Since I WFH, it is fairly easy for me to be flexible with my schedule in taking the dogs out. Having owned my dog Thor for 5 years now, we are in a great routine of an early morning, mid afternoon, and evening walk. I like to work with each client individually to accommodate their own unique wants/ needs. Typically I let the dogs sleep in my bed or on the couch (whatever makes them feel most comfortable and at home) but if you’d prefer them to be crated at night that can be arranged as well. During the day, they have free rein of my home and plenty of toys to play with and share with my dog Thor! I work from home full-time so I am able to factor in breaks throughout the day to step out for walks, playtime, and park trips! I am available almost every weekend or weekday unless my calendar states otherwise (updated once per week). While I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have a beautiful fenced in deck right by the woods for my dog and yours to enjoy the scenery and fresh air! I am very active and go on multiple walks a day around the neighborhood, as well as trips to fenced in dog parks if that is something your dog would enjoy.

About: I want a buddy to keep me company on my walks! I only take one pooch at a time so that they get extra special attention with a stress free environment during their vacation with me! I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. It would be a pleasure to be able to spend quality time and care for your pup or cat. I live in a large condo (1,700 sq ft). I have a deck but no yard; however, my condo is a large open space which allows for plenty of playing fetch. Also, I love walking, probably just as much as your dog!
