“Mandy was great! I have two big dogs that can be a bit challenging and she was great with them! She took so many photos and gave us a detailed review of their walks! Best experience I’ve had with a dog walker and definitely will be booking again!”


“Devyn was such an amazing dog walker! She is so kind and you can tell how much she loves animals. She treats your animal just like how you would like your animal to be treated, with love. :) She even met us for a little walk to make sure she got familiar with how our dog likes to enjoy her walk (which is sniffing everything). She sent many photos and videos of updates, which was very appreciated! She is great at communicating as well, with when she will be there and etc. I would recommend Devyn to anyone! Thank you so much for caring for our dog and on such short notice!”


“So grateful to have Autumn coming everyday to walk the dogs and feed them. She is punctual, provides a great report and takes pix every time. She has also been so helpful and added services we needed added on last notice. We feel very comfortable and the dogs love her!”


About: I come from an animal loving family where pets are pampered and loved as family members. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and also had the pleasure of fostering many through the years. I look forward to walking your fur babies as well as dropping in when needed to help them stay comfortable, happy and loved. I am very flexible with my schedule and will work with you to make sure your pets are cared for as you want them to be. I'm currently available for walks as well as drop in visits to your home. I will care for your pets as I would my own and ensure they are safe and content.

About: As a life-long lover of animals, I’ve taken care of my own cats, dogs, horses, birds and other small animals my whole life. I have recently begun pet sitting for others and find that I really enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend time with other people’s pets. I’m currently semi-retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets while you are away. I’d love to keep them company and make sure they don’t miss any meals while you are away. I will spend time with your pets in your home and send you daily photos so you can see how they are doing while you are away.

About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!

About: Hello! I am more than happy to come to your home and watch your animals while you're away! While in school I started and ran a pet-watching service for neighbors for about 8 years and I’ve been a Rover sitter for years, check out my reviews! I am not currently tied to a work schedule and I will be able to watch your animals in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I am always available by cell phone and will be a great loving friend to your animal family! I would be more than happy to send picture updates throughout the time we have together. I love to spend time outdoors and would make sure that your dog and I go on long walks and to fun parks. I am currently not tied to a work schedule so I can come walk during the day or stay overnight if needed! Happy to help whenever my schedule is open I have 2 dogs and a cat at my home but I only offer walks out of your home or overnight stays in your house at this time

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends for years—whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or keeping up with zoomies! I’m gentle with seniors, patient with puppies, and love giving updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every fur baby like my own—snuggles included! My schedule is flexible and active—whether I’m heading out for a walk or winding down after the gym, I always make time for furry friends. Pets keep me grounded and happy, and I love fitting care into my daily rhythm like it’s second nature! From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve handled medication schedules, anxious pups, and even post-surgery snuggles. Your pet’s safety and routine come first—I create a calm, secure environment with lots of love (and a few treats if allowed)!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and from a young age, I was the one happily taking on the responsibility of feeding, walking, playing with, and comforting them. What began as a childhood passion has grown into a lifelong commitment to animal care. As a professional pet sitter with over 5 years of experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, providing extra cuddles, or calmly managing medications or special needs. In addition to my professional background, I’ve spent over 10 years volunteering in animal shelters and fostering both cats and dogs in my home, which has given me hands-on experience with pets from all walks of life. I’ve cared for animals at every stage, from bottle-fed infants and kittens to senior pets. I'm experienced with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs and can administer medications in all forms: pills, liquids, and injections—even to those clever pets who try to avoid them! I know leaving your pet in someone else's hands can be difficult, but my goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away. You can count on me for reliable, compassionate care tailored to your pet's unique personality and needs. My schedule is highly flexible, and I have a wide range of availability. I can take on any task from 15 minute drop-in visits and walks to overnight stays. For your dog(s), I will provide fun walks with plenty mental and physical stimulation. If the weather does not allow for walks, your dog will get plenty of indoor playtime to burn off energy after getting their potty time. For cats, I'll provide interactive play time (if they like that) as well as cleaning litter boxes daily. For all pets, I will refresh their water and provide treats and/or meals, as directed.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years, including my sister’s boyfriend’s dog and others for friends and family. I genuinely love being around animals, especially dogs, they bring me so much joy. I have helped with feeding, walking, giving meds, and just spending time with them to make sure they feel safe and loved. While I do not have a dog of my own right now due to space and finances, I treat every dog I care for like my own and always make their comfort and happiness a priority. I work a hybrid schedule as a social worker, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I can usually make it work. My time is flexible, and I am dependable, communicative, and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine! As a social worker, I bring patience, empathy, and attentiveness into everything I do, including pet care. I make sure animals feel safe, respected, and loved while also maintaining gentle structure and boundaries when needed. I prioritize a calm, clean environment where pets can feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their family.

About: I've taken care of my own pets since I was a teenager. I have looked after my friends pets for several years and I always make sure they get plenty of enrichment time and love! I always treat everyone's pets like my own! I would be able to watch your pets during Fridays and the weekends. I also available some evenings in during the week! Please reach out to confirm! I am always hyper aware of my surrounding since I am used to being with reactive dogs. I would ensure and safe environment with minimal hazards.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently on summer break and working a part-time job on weekends. I am available during the week and some weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have plenty of free time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.

About: I have rescued three dogs from the humane society ranging from 2 months to 5 years in age. I have done a lot of research on what is and is not good for most dogs as far as diet and nutrition. I am in good athletic shape and can handle any size dog confidently and know how to deal with situations calmly and safely if they arise. My dog is not just my pet he's part of my family and I would treat yours the same. I own a small local landscaping company leaving me plenty of time to focus on my passion for animals. I hope to be able to solely focus on pet care soon. In the clients home, I like to familiarize the animal with me be taking it for a long walk. I also follow the owners schedule for walks, feeding and medications. I focus on giving the animals attention, affection, play and exercise. I will keep your animal safe, happy, and healthy.

About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! This is my passion, and I do this full time! Helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a bit, and keeping pets company and giving them love and care, that's extremely rewarding for me. Being helpful, compassionate, and spending time with animals is the dream. I can't imagine doing anything else! Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, let me know. I'm here to help!

About: I've loved and had a few dogs during my lifetime. I've since lost them years ago, but my love for them will never die. I have a big heart and would love to share the love. My daughter is especially excited when she sees dogs or cats. We have a few stray cats around our building and she loves to see them. She is the only child and having pets around would be such a entertainment booster. Shes 8 so she's definitely aware of them. Plus we could get more exercise!! Win win for everyone. Your pet will be well cared for and anything special they may need will be taken care of as long as we're instructed to do so. I can't wait to see your fur baby soon!

About: I am a long time animal lover and experienced pet sitter! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home, so I am well equipped to deal with all the chaos :) My dogs range from a semi-crazy, always wanting to play pitt bull to an all loving, friendly retriever. I can take care of all dogs in between and have experience with basic commands and training techniques. I also love cats and have experience caring for senior cats, as well as raising kitties! I have taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life - hermit crabs, hamsters, fish - so if you need assistance with non furry friends or even furry friends that are not cats and dogs I'm the one. Your animals will be in good hands with me and will receive my undivided love and attention! I work remotely with a flexible schedule 9-5 m-f, so I am able to schedule short drop-ins for walks during the workday or work from your home if that's what you would like! Just please specify what you would prefer so there is no miscommunication :) I know every furry friend is different, so I will make sure to communicate with you about specific care and safety for your pet. I've taken care of very different personalities and know how important it is to stick with your pet's routine. I will be respectful and follow all rules you set in place.
