About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for about five years and have raised my dog, Scooby, since he was a puppy. My husband and I worked closely on his training, socialization, manners, and recall and he has grown into a well-behaved dog who is comfortable around other dogs and can safely enjoy off-leash activities in appropriate settings. Because I have used Rover and dog daycare services for years, I understand what pet parents are really looking for: a sitter who communicates, follows instructions, provides updates, keeps dogs active, and treats every pet with patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic commands, different personalities, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. Scooby is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, and our home includes two attentive adults who genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is safe, comfortable, supervised, and receiving plenty of attention while they are away. I am currently home full-time so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and care throughout the day. I am flexible and happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. I live in a townhome with my husband and our friendly, well-trained dog, Scooby. While we do not have a fenced yard, our community has plenty of grassy areas and walking trails nearby. I can provide walks, playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation based on your dog’s individual needs and energy level.
“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Great service. Taylor kept in touch with me the entire time. My BigBoy was taken great care of and Thank you for the extras you took care of too. Will definitely use her again.”
“I’ve trusted her with my pets for the past two years, and I keep coming back because I know they’ll receive the best care. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. I always have peace of mind knowing my pets are in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

“Jessica did a great job with my kittens. She kept me up to date on their shenanigans (and cleaned up after them when needed). She also brought things in off my balcony when a big storm was on its way. It gives me peace of mind to know my cats will be well taken care of while I’m out of town.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes since I was seven, providing walks, baths, playtime, feedings, and basic training sessions. My deep compassion and commitment to animals’ well-being sets me apart. I tailor my care to each pup’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether offering patience to a nervous dog, engaging an energetic pup, or providing comfort to a senior pet, I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I understand how important trust is for pet parents, so I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love, kindness, and reliability. I prioritize trust, comfort, and, most importantly, safety when caring for pets. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously and pay close attention to the little details that help each animal feel secure and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. I carefully follow household and care instructions and make sure their environment stays clean and secure. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I want every pet in my care to genuinely enjoy their time with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in my care. For boarding, dogs will have access to designated sleeping areas equipped with ample blankets, stuffed toys, fresh water, and a nighttime treat to help them settle in comfortably. They will also enjoy designated play areas both indoors and outdoors, along with access to nature trails for scheduled walks. There are also dedicated areas for sunbathing and shaded spots for relaxation. For daycare, all amenities are available except for a nighttime sleeping area, ensuring a stimulating and enriching experience throughout the day. Dogs will have space for exercise, play, nap time, and entertainment, with a designated bath area available in case of emergencies. I am located near a quiet, hidden park and a dog park, allowing for safe and enjoyable outings. Additionally, my setup provides enough space to prevent overcrowding, ensuring each dog receives individualized attention and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

About: I’m a lover of dogs who has been caring for and training dogs for 10 years. My experience came from dogs of my own along with dogs of friends and family members. In the past I have ventured into breeding and training. I currently have one dog name Princess who is on a raw food diet due to some digestive health issues. Princess is extremely calm and playful and loves a bunch of affective and her is daily as will your pup. My wife and daughter are very loving and go on family walks around our subdivision daily and can’t wait to include your pup into our routine. We are a extremely clean and tidy family so do not expect to get your pup back smelling bad or looking a mess. I currently work remotely so there is always time to go for walks during the day as it is necessary to get some sunshine and exercise for the pets and for me to get away from the computer screen. Please let me know what works best for you and what accommodations are needed for your pet and I will make sure it is taken care of. I have a comfortable home and an extremely friendly and playful dog name Princess. I have a nice size backyard in a great neighborhood to take walks in.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience as a former dog owner. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy learning each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m also interested in animal behavior and care, so I see pet sitting as an opportunity to continue learning while giving pets the same love and attention I would give my own. As a full-time college student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to care for pets around my class schedule. I plan ahead to make sure I can dedicate enough time and attention to each pet I care for. When you leave your pet in my care, I want you to feel confident knowing they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect, keeping things clean and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

Amoy took great care of my cat Penny while I was away for Thanksgiving break. When my return flight was unexpectedly cancelled, she was incredibly flexible with additional last-minute visits, which was a huge relief. Penny is a senior cat with acid reflux issues, and Amoy handled cleaning up after her when she had flare-ups. I also really appreciated that her daughter spent time playing with Penny. She gets lonely when she’s by herself, so the extra attention meant a lot.
