“Rachel was great with our dog Murphy! She was prompt in replying and very dependable. Murphy looked forward to his walk everyday, she even adjusted her schedule for us. We will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs since I was around 10 years old! I have worked with shy and anxious dogs, as well as super high energy friends! I have experience walking dogs, house sitting, and more! I am passionate about animals and dedicated to providing top-notch care for your furry family member. I am currently a student but my class schedule is very flexible with only one class per day and am willing to work around your needs! While watching your dog at your home, I will continue to keep your dog in their routine and make them comfortable even when you are not there with them! I know every single pet is different and has different needs. I am ready to dive right in and help your dog in any way that you may need!

“Kristin was AMAZING! Honestly it was our first time using Rover and it was literally so calming and easy with her. She went above and beyond and really took care of the details that Sly needed! She’s kind and funny, and you can really trust her. We WILL be using her again, and are so thankful for her!”

About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs. The owners have relied on me to take care of their dogs with walking and feeding. I do work full time, with a couple days at home. I can board overnight or on the weekends or walk dogs when not boarding. My area has a great place for dogs to walk and go outside for the bathroom. My home is calm and clean with dog toys to play with.
About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.
“Mikaela is very personable and friendly! I trust her entirely with my pup; you can tell she really cares about dogs of all kinds. Also, she is reliable and coordinates if she has a change in schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve never NOT had a pet. Growing up I have always had dogs! Now that my parents have moved, I have been missing my pups. I have taken care of neighbors pets for years as well as house and pet sitting for some family members & coworkers over the years. I am currently a college student, I have one class currently from 11-11:50 on mon-thurs, I do take other classes online! I do tend to run around a lot but majority of my time would be with the pets! When caring for pets, safety and trust are paramount. In my home or the client's, I always ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, and all their needs are met. I keep all harmful objects out of reach, provide plenty of playtime when i’m home, and stick to their feeding and walking schedules. And of course, lots of love and cuddles are always included! 🐾
About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!

About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat 3 different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. Once I graduate from college and finish my summer classes in September, my schedule will be completely open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.

About: I've cared for and loved family pets (beagle, staffy, and pit) all my life, but as a young adult living in an apartment away from home, I'm looking to befriend some local canine pals! Play, walking, cuddles, and parks: I want to leave pets happy and ready for their nap!! I'm currently working a part-time research position, with free time to care for your pets! I am unable to board animals, but my flexibility allows for check-ins throughout the day! My time with your pet will be for active engagement and physical monitoring, responsive to their needs. I'm happy to have short meetings to ensure fit and want to collaborate to optimize your pet's care.
“I am recovering from shoulder replacement and Ella is taking my sweet Emma for walks while I am recuperating. She is very professional and Emma is excited every time. Yes I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Ella. I really appreciate you.”

“Kynnedy was a great choice for our boy! She took pics and showed up on time. She was not hesitant to take care of our Pitskie last minute for a walk on a holiday weekend and her rate was a plus. We saw her photos and knew she would be a great pick for our breed, being a larger dog others tend to stray away but she said yes. She even offered to fill his water ❤️”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love to care for them. My current furry family consists of three cats, two dogs, and ten chickens. We love all animals over here! I work part time, remotely with flexible hours, this gives me plenty of time to be flexible with my schedule and care for your furry friends! My first priority is always safety. In caring for your pet(s) I ensure to keep them safe while having all the fun we can. I always love finding new ways to engage my pets in enriching activities.
