John was great. He was timely and really good with our dog. He came for a meet and greet prior to the walks and that was a nice touch. We’d happily use him again.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a pet sitter professionally as well as family and friends for over 10 years now. I’ve lived with a lab/pit/shepherd mix for two years. I was also an owner and trainer of a multilingual Havanese. He was trained to understand commands in English, Chinese & Spanish. He was also trained to sing, dance and jump into any vessel on command! I can follow any specific training instructions or schedule you may have specifically for your fur babies. Cats always seem to enjoy my presence, seeking massages, playtime or attention. Looking forward to meeting your loved ones and becoming fast friends! My schedule is flexible and I can almost always be available at a moment’s notice depending on the location. I am always happy to be of service in a bind. I’d care for pets in your homes according to your specific needs and guidelines. It’s important for me to facilitate a seamless transition and experience for both owners and pets, avoiding disruption to the schedule or environment. I understand and consider the attachment that your fur or furless family members have to you so I aim to be a comforting presence as much as possible.

Michelle is fantastic. Before scheduling an appointment, she arranged a meet and greet to get to know Apollo. From the moment Apollo met Michelle, we knew he was in great hands. His first walk with her went smoothly, with regular updates and photos. Highly recommend.

About: Patience is my superpower. I've spent years caring for the senior members of my family, so I'm tuned in to comfort, routine, and noticing the little signs that something's off, which makes me a great fit for older dogs or any pup who needs gentle, attentive care. With 7 years of daily experience as a dog owner, I know feeding, exercise, and downtime, and I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I finally have some free time this summer, and am pretty flexible when in comes to scheduling so if anything I will be able to work around your schedule, whatever is easiest and most convenient for you. Building trust and providing loving and caring is something at the core of what makes an interaction beneficial on both sides and is at the core of my ideology when it comes to anybody especially animals.

About: Since my earliest memories, dogs have held a special place in my heart. Caring for them is a deep passion of mine, and I understand how challenging it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I pour my heart into providing exceptional care, treating each dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make your furbaby feel at home and ease any worries you may have. With years of experience and a natural instinct for care, I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog’s happiness and well-being. After leaving my corporate marketing position due to severe burnout, I’m now at a point in my life where I’m exploring what truly makes me happy and finding passion in new projects. I’ve transitioned to remote work, giving me the flexibility to take on side jobs like Rover, where I can connect with amazing dogs. Whether it’s early morning or late afternoon, I’m here to accommodate your needs, understanding that not all trips are planned.**shoot me a message with more questions regarding my availability!** I’m active and can easily fit your dog’s routine into my own, ensuring they get the care and attention they deserve. Although my fiancé and I don’t currently have a dog after the recent passing of our beloved Layla, we hope to welcome another fur baby into our lives around the holidays. Dog sitting is a win-win for me—I get to enjoy the company of wonderful dogs, and you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands! I live in a spacious apartment, in an area surrounded by parks and pups. Rest assured your dog will have free rein to enjoy themselves!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to owning and caring for my own dogs, I’ve worked in doggy daycare settings and with dog walking businesses, giving me experience managing multiple dogs safely while ensuring each one receives individual attention and care. I have raised puppies from a young age and am experienced with basic obedience training, crate training, potty training, leash manners, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I am also comfortable working with reactive, nervous, high-energy, and strong-willed dogs, always prioritizing patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, structured care, medication administration, puppy support, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I strive to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I treat every dog as if they were my own and work hard to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Dogs are at the center of my daily life, and because I am home full-time, I am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for extended periods and will receive the attention, exercise, structure, and affection they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments and am happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, training reinforcement, and any special requests to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment is my top priority. I am home full-time, which means your pet will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized dogs (25 lbs and 40 lbs) who are both very gentle and get along well with other dogs and pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys socializing, playing, going for walks, or simply having a quiet place to relax, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. Safety is extremely important to me, and all pets are closely supervised. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions provided by owners regarding feeding, medications, exercise, crate routines, or special care. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈‍⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!
