About: Hi, I'm Rusty! I've spent my entire life caring for dogs and truly believe that pets are family, deserving only the best walks and care. With experience handling a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and needs, I’m ready to offer your dog the attention they deserve. As a recent retiree, I now have the time and passion to help your pups live their best life! 🐶 I have recently retired, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. I treat dogs with the same love and care as any family member. Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.
About: Whether you have a playful pup, a curious cat, a cuddly guinea pig, a slithering reptile, or a chatty bird, I’m available to provide the best care for all your furry, scaly, and feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.
“Theresa helped us at the very last minute when we needed someone to check on our three dogs. She was very responsive, sent pics, and even washed the dog bowls!”
“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”
“Kiera was available on relatively short notice for a drop in. She spent time with my pup and sent along plenty of pictures. Everything was put back exactly as it was left, she was great!”
“Lynsey is absolutely phenomenal! She took fabulous care of our wonderful cat, Inga, who is often shy with new people. Lynsey made Inga feel comfortable immediately and this continued for the entire time we were away. Lynsey was reliable, communicative, and it was a true privilege to work with her. We'd give her ten stars if we could, and cannot.say enough good things about her.”
“Kimberlly was amazing! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsive and very attentive to you and your fur babies’ needs. I requested her on extremely short notice (within 3-4 hours) and on busy holiday. I was worried that my new automatic feeder stopped working for my kitty while I was away. She not only responded promptly but arrived at my place within 15 minutes to save my kitty. If it hadn’t been for her, I’m not sure if I would’ve received the same care for Majikku. Kimberlly was very sweet upon arrival to my shy kitty. She checked Majikku’s water fountain levels, and fixed her food issue. She even refreshed her litter.Thanks Rover for providing this service and thank you Kimberlly for giving me peace of mind! x”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I started pet sitting and house sitting at just 13 for neighbors and family friends, and over time I built a small network through word of mouth. Over time I have taken care of many pets with many different needs and personalities. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or an energetic walk, I treat every pet like they’re my own. While I work full time during the week, I'm available after 4 PM Monday–Wednesday and after 5 PM on Fridays. My weekends are wide open so you can have worry-free coverage while you're away! When caring for pets I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being above all else. I follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medication administration, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel happy and secure. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and mental stimulation. Communication is key, so I keep you updated regularly with messages and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s trust and safety are my top priorities.
About: I have hands-on experience from my time working as a Kennel Technician, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, and currently as an Animal Control Officer, working with animals in various situations. This background gives me a unique and valuable skill set for pet sitting. I’m currently working full-time, but I can accommodate drop-in visits during the week. I have plenty of time on weekends to play with your pets, ensuring they get the attention and love they deserve! In your home, I will make sure to follow your pet's routine, providing them with regular playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that helps your pet feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.

I have experience with a variety of dogs, cats, & chickens; all different ages, sizes and requirements. I completely understand some pets need more attention than others, so please be mindful that I am gone for longer periods of time during some days. I prefer to care for pets in the clients’ home. Animals are more comfortable when they are on their own territory and are sticking with their familiar routine and surroundings. I like to meet with all my clients in person before pet sitting, so I can get to know them, their pet, their pets’ routine and needs, and also allow the pet to get familiar with me so they aren’t overwhelmed when I first come over!
“Courtney was great! She sent me pictures every visit, checked in and out when she dropped in, took care of my plants, and when she dropped off my key, my cats ran to greet her, obviously having enjoyed the play time with her. I will definitely book Courtney again.”
“Sara was amazing with all of my dogs. She came and met them and they were at ease with her as soon as they met her. she sent pictures and updates and kept us informed. She is our new go to doggie sitter!!!”
“We were so happy to find Marissa! She was loving, responsible and developed a wonderful rapport with all our cats. She has great instincts and is an excellent communicator. I can’t say enough good things about her!”

About: I provide, as well as top-notch care,a uniquely adaptive music therapy session for your pet so that even the most high-strung pets can feel relaxed and reassured by the sound of live classical piano music. A professional musician,I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies and have owned at least one dog at every point in my life.I am a consummate pet lover with 2 dogs currently. If your animal is a bit of a loner I can provide sequestered accommodations. I have a 16 year old who also loves animals; she as well has never lived without a dog. One of her passions is horseback riding and through this activity she has achieved a gentle but commanding demeanor around most animals. Between the two of us your pet will never lack a playmate! My work schedule allows for either me or my daughter to always be at home, so the pets have round the clock love and attention. I have a fenced in yard, and a house with plenty of space for pets to hang out. My 2 dogs are very friendly and are used to visiting dogs.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I could remember. I currently have 2 homes, my mom and dad’s house, altogether I have 3 cats, and 4 dogs. (Jasmine, Toodles, Aj, Miss Piggy, Nala, Rhett, Gus) I take care of close family friends pets, as well. My mom does a daycare/overnight where we have tons of dogs come over and I love meeting all of them. I, myself, do overnights at households and just love spending time and learning new names and personalities of animals!! I used to have 80 chickens that we’re only for eggs, and they were my absolute best friends. I was always with them as a kid and I grew up raising my own kitten’s and I have just always loved to be surrounded. Taking care of animals and helping others has always been my true passion and I couldn’t imagine living my life without doing those things. I currently do not have a job. I was working prior at a camp that helps disabled people and just gives them the lives they deserve. I’m a stay at home and I help my dad with my dogs and cats, but i’m free any day of the week, as long as it’s known a day ahead, but I would also take emergencies. I have a fenced in yard, but it’s big enough to where my dogs are able to explore around the yard and look through, so they’re still living their best lives. My chihuahua loves to sit on our porch, it’s the first place she runs to in the morning to lay in the sun. She also loves going on rides and exploring the world, going on adventures.

“I’ve known Jesse for a couple decades now. As a person: you can’t do better or get better. He cares, a lot. He’ll listen and express with compassion. He’ll be there, period. As a dog person?!: forget it, give them ALL to him. He’s fostered and adopted from every walk. Because he loves to. Because he needs to. Jesse has had bird children, dog and cat children, and he is the most responsible pet parent, giving them all the love attention, accessories, character appropriate toys, and play and walk time to suit their individual needs.
