“Highly recommend Grazé! They took amazing care of my cat, Blade, and made sure he was comfortable, loved, and well looked after while I was away. I really appreciated the updates, attention to detail, and genuine care they showed. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you again!”

“Loved having Emily pet sit for Memphis and Binx. It was very short noticed that I had to book, my pets right from the meet and great enjoyed being around Emily. She sent plenty of pics showing what they were doing and how they were. She keeps you up dated on the daily activities! I’ll definitely book her again!”

About: Growing up without a dog of my own due to my father’s allergies, I’ve always poured extra love and attention into every dog I get the chance to watch. Whether it’s neighbors, friends, or family, I treat every pup like they’re mine. I’m a retired Division I athlete, so keeping up with energetic dogs long walks, runs, fetch sessions, or active play is something I genuinely enjoy. I also work professionally in the pet industry for the company behind Chuckit! balls and launchers, so my everyday life revolves around pets and understanding what keeps them happy, safe, and engaged. My goal is to make each dog’s time with me as enjoyable for them as it is for me, with plenty of activity, affection, and attentive care. You can count on me for consistent, reliable care and a genuinely fun experience for your dog. I work fully remote 5 days a week the only resource needed is wifi and an outlet to charge my laptop. My daily schedule varies and is flexible to allow playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and water refills throughout the day as needed. I emphasize routine as much as possible when dog sitting because a consistent schedule helps reduce anxiety, especially when owners are away. I follow each dog’s daily feeding, walking, and play routines closely to keep them comfortable and secure. I provide active and supervised care so every dog feels relaxed, supported, and at home while their person(you) is away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.

“Amber was an amazing house and pet sitter! She is extremely conscientious and treats your home and pets as if they are hers. We have never returned from a trip with the house so clean and tidy, and with our pets so calm. We have two needy cats and an anxious dog who takes time getting to know new people, and within less than 24 hours, all three pets were so comfortable with Amber. She sent us photos and updates, and was easy to communicate with. Honestly the best Rover experience we have ever had!”

About: Well I've had pets mostly cats when I was young... but the moment we got a dog I was in love and after having my own dog for the last 16 years she's been nothing less than a fur baby who is spoiled with love and affection, not only from me but also my 3 children. My dog loved to be to lay in the sun most days she's was one of the family. Most of my availability is going to be in the evenings typically 6pm to 10 pm or if there are any special or specific requests we could work something out and special accommodations could be arranged. How ever this past march i had ro lay my dur baby to rest. I currently work full time looking for a fun way to earn extra cash. While providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for your fur baby to be cared for! I have a completly fenced yard with lota of room to play. I alos havw a large tree in the back yard ao there is plently of shade on those warm days.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have grown up around dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd and Coton De Tulear, both of whom are my pride and joy, along with the rest of our pack. I understand that these precious souls mean so much to so many people, and promise that under my care and supervision they’ll be treated with the utmost respect and love, just as if they were my own! I’m currently in school full time, so while my availability may be limited depending on the hour, I assure you my care for your pets isn’t! Please double-check that the dates/times you need align with my availability before submitting a booking. Thank you! It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!

Diana has watched my fur babies now multiple times over the past year plus and they’ve always been so happy and at ease with her. Benji only being a year old can make him a lot at times but she handles him so well and he wasn’t even stressed when I got home. I will without a doubt continue to book with her.

Selena is the best! Absolutely amazing. My dog is afraid of everyone. He never even barked at her! She sent me pictures throughout the day. My dog was having a great time. I can not say enough about how great she made my dogs time with her and was wonderful to work with. Next time I need a dog sitter, she will be my first and only choice!!

We’ve used Kara before on a short trip and so we weren’t worried at all about an extended trip! We have a senior dog and multiple fish tanks to take care of, and Kara was more than up to the task! She took Rocco to see all his friends, even scheduled walks with neighbors! When we got home Rocco was sort of happy to see us, lol. We got numerous updates, and knew all was well! She gave us peace of mind, thanks Kara!

Mya spent 2 weeks with my Roxy Jewel. I came home to a happy dog and happy plants (outside and inside). She might have a greener thumb than me—and that’s saying something. I’m thrilled to have found her and will definitely hire her again, if she’s willing.
