About: I have had an interest in animals since before I could walk. Growing up watching animal planet over cartoons, I have always been fascinated by creatures of all shapes and sizes. From studying veterinary science, to volunteering at an animal shelter, to working at pet stores, and even reading current veterinary magazines and articles, I strive to continue my passion and involvement with animals. I have experience with complex feeding routines, medication application, as well as behavioral knowledge that I can apply to animals I care for. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your preferences and your pet's needs. I am a freelance artist who builds and manages their own schedule, with a desire to use my love for animals and knowledge of their care to take opportunities to get out of the house and do something I enjoy--- Meeting you and helping to take care of your baby! My schedule is flexible, I am easily able to work around your needs, especially on a repeat schedule. I do travel, but I always have ample notice, and will be able to inform you a month or two in advance if there is a conflict-- and plan a visit for my return! Comfort and safety are my top priorities when I care for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand so that we can become familiar comfortably, and you can tell me all about your routines, preferences, and needs. I love to learn about my clients and what makes them happy!

About: I grew up loving dogs. I always had at least one dog in our house. Since then, I've volunteered with dogs for the past ten years. I've volunteered in human societies, with the dumb friends league, and for local community rescue events. Though I don't have my own dogs, because I travel too often, I love being around animals. I am available for quick match dog walks, dog walking, visits, and overnight dog sitting. I'm work from home and am very available, and looking forward to helping you out and meeting your dog. I promise to give your dog all of my love, attention, and pets. If your dog happens to be more active, that's great, and I'll be happy to take him or her for walk and runs per your request. I have a very flexible work from home schedule. I can plan my work around your pet's needs and am happy to adjust my time to fit my Rover obligations. I have a fenced in yard for your pet to explore and play in. I'll send updates throughout your pet's time with me to provide assurance and comfort, letting you know they're safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs of all ages since I was 9. I also have experience working on a family farm with all sorts of other animals. I have a 1 year old Aussie who is extremely friendly. I currently work part-time and have a lot of free time to spend with your pups. Most weekday mornings and afternoons are open with my work schedule being very flexible. I have a lot of experience dog sitting for family, and by bringing your dog into my home, I would treat them like family. My dog is very friendly with other dogs and would love a playmate or walkmate. I am a hiking enthusiast and experienced with walking all sorts of breeds and ages and would be more than happy to take your pup on an adventure.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for in house care/walks everyday but Mondays and Tuesday. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs and a cat to keep your pups company. I have a crate available if needed during their stay.
“Lauren did a great job walking my dogs! I have a dog who is anxious and scared and Lauren was patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. She is great with dogs and my dogs loved her! I would highly recommend Lauren for dog walking/dog sitting.”

About: We’ve been dog lovers for years and have plenty of experience caring for pups! We regularly dog sit for our friends and family, so we’re comfortable with dogs of all personalities. My husband grew up with dogs, and we’ve been proud dog parents to our own fur baby for the past 9 years. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and we’ll treat your pup like part of our family! My husband and I both work from home full time, so our schedules are very flexible. We’re able to be home throughout the day and can give your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and lots of love. We have a small, fenced-in yard and only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of attention in a safe, calm environment. We’re experienced with crate training, and our own dog completed a 3-week professional, on-site training program.
About: I can teach dogs proper walking skills, I’m patient, can teach to heal, sitting, laying down, turn around, shake, wait, come, social skills and I love dogs and just going on walks! I am walking dogs/ drop ins on the weekends! looking to make money these days doing dog walking and training around my area as I think this would be a great fit. I do supervised playtime both indoor and outdoors, making sure they have water, food, toys, chewing items and positive reinforcement although I have experience training reactive/aggressive dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Loren 😇 I love all animals and I constantly have the worst case of PET FEVER, but unfortunately, I’m just not in a place where I can have a pet of my own 🥺…. Hence where you come in! I’m originally from AZ and moved here for work and I couldn’t bring my fur baby with me 🥺 I would love to be able to give all that love that I have in my heart to your furry loved ones and look after them as if they were my very own until your return. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and cats I’m familiar with after taking care of a few friends’ and families’ in the past. I’m willing to take care of ANY pet though! I’ve been around all animals growing up so I feel I’m capable to care for them, but any instruction/advice is happily welcomed! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry companions! I do work full-time, but I’m happy to check in on pets before/after I go in. My weekends are where I could spend the most time with them. Although, my work schedule isn’t too flexible, I’m willing to work around anything to make it the most comfortable for you and your pet. I live alone so if your pet is able to be alone for long periods of time while im at work, this would be the most ideal scenario. Otherwise, I would leave them in the crate while I’m out of the house.
“Rachel was very communicative with me throughout the day! She checked in and asked if there was anything she could do for me! So helpful and made me feel comfortable leaving her with our pup!!”


About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and, as I got older, started caring for family members’ and friends’ dogs as well. My husband and I had two wonderful pups for 9 years. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities—and I’ve learned that no two dogs are quite the same! What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each dog. I pay attention to their routines, body language, favorite activities, and little quirks. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off some energy, extra patience while getting comfortable, plenty of playtime, or simply a cozy spot to relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also know from personal experience how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pet is being well cared for and is being loved like they are a part of the family while you are away. I’m home full-time with my son, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My husband also occasionally works from home, which means your dog will rarely be left alone. The only time we’re typically away is for school drop-off and pick-up—and if your pup is up for an adventure, they’re welcome to join us! We know your dog is a beloved part of your family, and when they’re with us, we’ll treat them just the same. We have a fenced-in yard where your pup can safely enjoy some time outside, whether they prefer to play on the grass or explore the rocks. Our son loves having a four-legged friend to play fetch with, and we enjoy taking nightly walks together. And, of course, we believe there’s no such thing as too many dog cuddles! Your pup will receive plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care while they’re with us—and will be treated just like one of our own.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unique background, experience, and commitment to providing thoughtful, individualized care for every animal entrusted to me. I am a prior Military Police Veteran with experience working alongside K9s, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, communication, structure, and the importance of building trust and respect between a pet and their caregiver. While I have specialized experience with dogs, my love and care extend beyond just cats and dogs. I have experience caring for a variety of four legged family members and understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, routines, and ways of communicating. Whether it’s an energetic pup, a senior pet needing extra patience, or another furry companion needing attention and care, I approach each animal with the same compassion, responsibility, and respect. I have experience recognizing body language, understanding different temperaments, reinforcing positive behaviors, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable in new situations. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to who they are, whether they need exercise and enrichment, extra companionship, medication support, consistency with routines, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while their family is away. I am also a proud owner of three dogs of my own, which keeps me active and continuously learning about proper exercise, nutrition, routines, and the importance of consistency. Caring for my own pets has strengthened my attention to detail and my commitment to providing the same level of honesty, reliability, and love to every pet entrusted to me. My goal is to give each animal the care, patience, and companionship they deserve while giving owners peace of mind knowing their beloved family members are in capable, caring, and trustworthy hands. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so caring for your pet will fit in seamlessly. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of routines and timing needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening care.I enjoy keeping dogs active with daily walks or runs of at least two miles, and I’m happy to tailor the activity level to each dog’s age, energy, and abilities. I also incorporate positive reinforcement training throughout the day, including before, during, and after mealtimes, to help reinforce good manners and build confidence.I have a reliable vehicle equipped with a dog seat cover, so I’m able to take pups on adventures to local dog parks, walking trails, or hiking spots (with owner approval). Most importantly, I’m committed to working with each pet owner’s schedule and preferences to provide consistent, dependable care that keeps both pets and their families happy. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining the routine they’re used to. I provide companionship for pets with separation anxiety, take dogs on walks to keep them happy and active, feed meals according to your instructions, and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to clean up any accidents or messes that may happen while you’re away. I take great pride in being clean, organized, and respectful of every home I enter. I’ll treat your home with the same care and attention I give my own, leaving it just as tidy as I found it. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll always provide dependable, trustworthy care for both your pets and your home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years including house stays for friends, and walking dogs too. I have experience with several breeds and sizes ranging from German shepherds to chihuahuas. I also have training with handling reactive rescue dogs! I currently work full time (8-5) on weekdays but have availability early morning, evenings, and weekends. I work from home Mon and Thursdays so have more flexibility then! I care for pets by making them feel welcomed and safe in their environment. I love figuring out how each pet behaves - what their favorite treats are, and what their favorite toys and tricks are!
About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for them from a young age, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved has always come naturally to me. At 19, I began caring for dogs professionally through Wag, where I gained experience walking and caring for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from small Chihuahuas to larger breeds like Pit Bulls, sometimes caring for multiple dogs in the same day. My experience goes beyond walks as well. I’ve provided in-home dog sitting and understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet and respecting their home. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, routines, and personalities. I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their owner’s instructions closely while still making our time together fun, loving, and enjoyable. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer periods of care when needed. My flexible schedule also allows me to work around each pet’s normal routine, so they can stay comfortable and receive the care and attention they’re used to. When caring for pets in my home, I live in a pet-friendly, first-floor apartment that makes getting outside for walks and potty breaks very convenient. While I don’t have a private backyard, my apartment community has two large dog parks within walking distance, right behind my building. The parks provide plenty of space for outdoor time, along with dog toys, fresh water fountains, and waste bags. I always follow each owner’s preferences regarding dog parks, interactions with other dogs, walks, and outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications or special care instructions, and whether their pet normally stays in a crate or is allowed to roam freely. I also treat every client’s home with care and respect. Communication is very important to me, so whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll provide regular updates and photos. I can let you know when they’ve eaten, had water, gone outside, used the bathroom, how their walk went, and how they’re doing overall. I’m also happy to communicate beforehand about your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs and arrange a meet-and-greet when needed so both you and your pet can feel comfortable before their care begins.

Georgie gets so excited when he hears Jason’s name. He loves his walks. Jason is reliable, considerate, flexible, and the apple of Georgie’s eye—no higher praise is available. I’m so grateful for Jason and Jenna helping me keep Georgie happy and healthy when life gets in the way. I highly recommend them and so does G.

Silvana is such a lifesaver! Our dog sitter had a last minute emergency and Silvana took on the job the same day! She was thorough and very sweet. She handled our two big boys with no issue as well. Thank you so much Silvana for taking of our dogs as if they were your own!💕💕

I highly recommend Olivia as a dog walker! She walked my dog, Marley, and did a fabulous job. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Marley was comfortable and happy. Marley came back relaxed and well exercised. She was punctual, attentive, and treated Marley like her own pet. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I felt completely at ease knowing Marley was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.

Ricardo was amazing with my sweet boy Charlie. The intro was super easy and they were quickly off on their 1 hour adventure before we knew it. Ricardo saved the day by accepting my last minute request and was very flexible with the meeting location. I will definitely request his assistance in the future. He was AWESOME!!!

Olivia was great with Simon, especially on his first walk. She was patient and took the time to let him warm up, which really helped him feel comfortable. She provided updates and photos, and made sure he was taken care of. I appreciate her communication and her help while we got things set up.
