“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“Esmeralda was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative and our dogs did not want to come home because they had so much fun! We will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊”
“Atrisha is always our go to sitter for Maggie Mae. She has beautiful and safe surroundings for all the dogs she cares for. Maggie is treated to love and care of the highest!”
“Truly trusted sitter! My dog had a great time and warmed up very easily with Victoria. Everyone wants their dog or cat taken care of and Victoria does just that. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates whenever possible and I just knew she was loving him like her own. She will be my go-to whenever I’m in the area and I’m glad to have booked with her.”
“Callie is the best! She takes great care of my fur baby. She is so kind, trustworthy and thoughtful. Sending daily updates and pictures, gives the reassurance and peace of mind everyone wants while they are away from their pet. Thank you, Callie!”
“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”
“Lauryn was amazing with our dog, Buttercup. We boarded her for seven days while we were on our cruise, and Lauryn took excellent care of her the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. Buttercup was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Loved coordinating with Anna to care for my dog as I went out of town. My doggy sitter cancelled on me last minute and Anna was very accommodating with my urgent request. She made sure to communicate any concerns with me in a timely manner. Would book with her again :-)”
“Ann has given us so much peace of mind when we need to go out of town. She sends pictures and updates daily. My baby always comes home clean and happy. She even cried when leaving Ann last time. Her boys even love playing with my baby, so I know she’s entertained. I will definitely be using Ann for all future needs and I HIGHLY recommend you give her a try if you’re needing a sitter.”
“Piper is such an ideal caretaker! She was so excellent in making my dog feel at home, safe, and loved for. She was so communicative, sent great photos, and is incredibly kind! Piper is the best; I plan on booking services with her again!”
“Allie was friendly, warm, and responsive. I received pictures and regular updates. Butter looked so calm and happy at her house. I will recommend Allie and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.
“Ms. Robin is a beautiful soul. We became friends instantly at our meet'n greet with our Sammy boy. She took care of him like he was her own. She treated my husband, my kids and myself like family. She sent me pictures of Samson everyday and kept us updated on how he was doing. We are truly blessed to have found Ms. Robin. Now our Samson has two mommies. We didn't just find a great Rover sitter in Ms. Robin we found a new member of our family.”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“I don’t think I could have chosen anyone better to watch my puppy than Michael! From start to finish he was so kind, communicative, and very clearly has a huge passion for dogs. Throughout the whole stay he sent regular updates with photos/videos and thoughtful messages, and I was so relieved knowing she was being cared for as if she was his own. Maggie had an absolute blast running around in his spacious yard and playing with his amazing and formidable Lily Lou! Michael was so patient with all of Maggie’s silly habits and bad puppy manners, he was also incredibly flexible with his schedule and when our plans changed. Overall he made the whole experience totally stress free. I’m so thankful that I found him, he’s truly the best and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again! 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much Michael! 🥰”
About: Hi, I’m Paula! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a complete softie for pets, and I do everything in my power to make sure every dog or cat in my care feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. At home, my family includes two American Bullies and one cat, so I’m very comfortable with multi‑pet households and all the energy, personality, and joy that comes with them. I have a special love for bully breeds, but I truly enjoy working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Because my own pets have needed medication in the past, I’m experienced with administering medicine and keeping pets calm and comfortable during the process. Whether it’s daily routines, special instructions, or extra cuddles, I’m attentive and committed to giving each pet the best experience possible. My home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from Medal of Honor Park—perfect for walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor time. I’m also only about 15 minutes from Hophounds, the dog park/bar, which gives me even more options for fun outings when appropriate. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely loves what they do, I’d be honored to care for your furry loved ones. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my everyday life. With two American Bullies and a cat at home, my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m used to managing different personalities and schedules, so adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. Throughout the week, I make time for morning and evening walks, enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping up with any medications or special instructions. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, it never feels like an extra task—it’s just part of how my days flow. Whether it’s daily check‑ins or longer stays, I’m already in the rhythm of providing consistent, loving care. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet‑friendly environment. I have two American Bullies and a cat, so I’m already used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to—regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and plenty of affection. My home is in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from Medal of Honor Park, which makes daily walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel secure while their family is away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and litter care to walks, medication, and any special needs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means slow introductions, extra playtime, or simply offering calm companionship. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just like I do with my own animals
“Lauri kept our senior dog for a weekend and I had no doubts leaving him in her care! Our dog has only stayed with family members and this was his first time staying with someone else and he had a blast!! We can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our old man!!”
“Reich and his wife Elizabeth are the best pet sitter team! Bambi takes a lot of time to warm up to people and within 24 hrs he was playing and enjoying walks very happily. He had daily walks and play sessions, and I got photos/videos each time. My search for the perfect pet sitter has ended, I know who I'm rebooking with next time! Thanks again”

“Maegan did an excellent job caring for our six cats while we were away. She was professional, communicative, and very attentive throughout the entire trip. Most of our cats are shy with new people and spent a lot of time hiding at first, but she was patient and gentle with them, and after a few days several of them began warming up to her. She also spent extra time with them whenever she could, which we really appreciated. She kept us well informed during every visit and was very responsive when a couple unexpected concerns came up while we were away, including checking on the house during a power outage and helping with an issue involving our lamp timers. We sincerely appreciated her willingness to work with a multi-cat household, and she handled it in spades. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”
“Victoria is super sweet, attentive and a good communicator. She seems to love her job and is readily available to help take care of your pets. We will be using again and again!”
“Courtney was great for cat sitting! She sent photos each day and a quick text to let me know how it went, which I greatly appreciated and gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat seems relaxed and happy when I got home. Can’t wait to have Courtney come back for Labor Day!”
About: You will never be left wondering how things are going. I will give plenty of attention and play time. My goal is simple - I will take time to get to know your pet and provide a stress free experience for you.
“Laura was incredible with our three cats! We were away for 10 days and I never once worried because she communicated with us at every check in. We will be booking with Laura in the future!”
“Deanna played with my babies and took care of them. She was concerned about their wellbeing and presence. She even got my shy baby to come out and visit. Well done will use again.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for about 10 years and genuinely enjoy their unique personalities and routines.

About: I have 13 years of experience caring for cats and understand the importance of patience, comfort, and routine when it comes to feline care.

“This is my second time booking with Michael. He honestly is the best/most awesome sitter ever. He always takes the upmost care of my boys. And hangs out with them longer/loves on them. He made sure to alert me to my middle baby hiding in the cabinet some so I could take him to the vet and make sure everything was okay. I can't say enough positive honestly!”
About: I am dedicated to delivering exceptional pet care. I understand that every pet is unique so I’ll work with you to create a customized care plan for your fur baby.

I like to engage in playtime, go on walks and even teach some new tricks.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. Family members have always depended on me to check in, feed, and play with their sweet kitties when they are away from home. I have previous experience with caring for cats at a vet clinic as well. I always love to treat other people’s cats as if they were my own!

About: Every pup needs a Step-Ma. Someone he/she can call when no one is around. Accompanied with 50 years of motherly, animal-loving experiences - meet a near retired, empty-nester looking for a way to fulfill a nurturing need now that all the children and animals have moved into their own home. Special skills include an ability to go on brisk walks around the neighborhood with your pup, add-on a talent of novice dog-training skills acquired from being raised by a dog whisperer mom, and fun time with tennis balls and frisbees. I currently work part-time throughout the week, but make my own schedule a week in advance. I am available most days from the early mornings til 11 AM. My works shifts are only 3 hours at a time, so I will be able to spend much needed time with your fur-baby when visiting/boarding and hanging out at my home. I have a fenced yard with a nice back deck if your pet likes to lounge outside. There are no other dogs here, just a couple of yard cats that patrol the perimeter and stay far away from dogs. I have a 2-story home, if your pup is like my son's boxer, Riley - she enjoys running up and down the stairs to play tag. There's soft furniture available for cozying up when spending the night, and a fireplace for the wintertime to snuggle up to after a brisk run in the cold night air. There's other fun stuff, too, like tennis balls, stuffed animals, bubbles, and water sprinklers. And, of course, treats.
About: We are a recently retired couple with 50 years combined experience raising children with a variety of pets. Now we have a loving, playful rescue dog that gets our full time attention. We are home all the time. We also engage and play with our pets all the time. We have plenty of toys to keep them amused too. Our large back yard is fully fenced and safe and clean at all times. We constantly clean up debris. We monitor playtime and meals to make sure they are safe at all times.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and other small animals. I can administer medicine to friendly animals, and cleanliness, kindness and communication are my priorities. I am currently a full-time online graduate student and am therefore usually very flexible. My daily routine involves taking my child to and from school and sports. For in-home boarding, I have a fenced yard and a separate indoor/outdoor space for my own kitties to remain separate from your pet. Small dogs can enjoy hanging with me and/or playing outside during the day. I'm always up for lap cuddles! I prefer to crate the dog during night-time hours, from about 10pm until 6:30am.

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion.

About: I’m an animal lover who’s happiest when I’m outside walking, running, or biking and I love having a furry buddy join me for the adventure. I grew up with four dogs, so barking, potty breaks, and a little (okay, a lot of) dog hair are just part of life for me. From a young age, I learned how to keep pups happy, safe, and entertained, and that’s stuck with me ever since. Your dog’s needs always come first with me whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or just a nice chill nap in the sun. I’ve got a soft spot for every kind of dog, even the grumpy ones, and I’ll never say no to a good cuddle session. At home, I have three super sweet Ragdoll cats who love dogs (seriously - they’re like dogs in cat form). I’ve also got a big fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for running around. Since I work from home, your pup will have company all day and can hang out inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of playtime, lots of love, and lots of tail wags. That’s what I’m all about. I work from home, so I’m around all day which means your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks! Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I’ve got a pretty flexible schedule and can easily fit in long walks, snuggle breaks, or just some good company while I work. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I’ll never make a decision about your pet without checking in with you first, and I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, or whatever helps you feel at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

“We have used Victoria for a 30 minute walk and an all day doggie daycare for our 7 month old lab / golden retriever mix. It was overall a 10/10 experience.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds but specifically medium to larger dogs like labradors, huskies, and German shepherds. I have been dog sitting ever since I was 14. Family, friends, and others. I have experience in dog sitting, walking and running with them, feeding, and bathing them as well. I have helped take care of many puppies and senior dogs too! I am a college student so I am pretty much free anytime outside of class which is generally anytime before 9 and after 4. I have multiple breaks throughout the day though, so I can walk, feed, or just check in on the pups when needed. I usually just ask how my clients interact with their dogs and do the same. Like where the dogs are allowed to go in the house or outside of it, any command words that they use often, how often they need exercise, etc. I have a lot of experience with different dogs and different dog owners so it looks different depending on the household.
About: Hi! I am a dependable and active dog lover who treats every pet like they are my own.

My goal is simple: a stress free experience for you and a great time for your pet. I am currently semi retired. I have lots of time to spend loving on your pet. Walks and playtime are a must not squeezed in. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so I focus on making both you and your pet feel completely comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of fur babies since I was 10 years old! From helping my family with their pets to working at a vet clinic before.

I typically care for my families pets all the time when they are away from home. I check in, feed, and play with their pets. A pet needs the attention that lacks for when their owner is gone, so I provide that attention for them. I love taking long hikes/walks, so having a precious fur baby by my side makes it more adventurous. Especially when stopping to play with their favorite toy! I have experience in caring for senior pets. I know how to give oral medication and other treatments for ill babies. I know how to properly bathe dogs while also clipping their claws and cleaning out their ears. I am aware of how to train puppies to sit and give paw for a treat. I adore all kinds of pets and with that being said I also have experience with caring for farm pets. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your baby! I can travel anywhere throughout Mobile county, AL! I stay at home full time while caring for my fur baby! So I can have opportunities to care for other people's pets as well! I care for people’s fur babies by following given instructions on how to care for them. From feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. Simply spending time with their fur baby is very important so the baby doesn’t feel lonely while the owners are gone.

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I don't usually house sit for more than 4 days at a time unless special arrangements are made. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.
About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with 2 years of pet sitting experience, along with all necessary certifications working with animals. All I need is a chance to express that I can be a patient, sensitive, and reliable pet caregiver. I currently have full time availability to pet sit your pet(s)! Please reach out ahead of time for upcoming holidays. My goal is to become a full time pet sitter w my own pet sitting business. *Indoors in my home I can assure that any harmful items will not be in sight, I don't have children nor do I have pets of my own at the moment, and I'm pretty neat. Front and patio door remains closed and locked unless going out with the pet. There is central cooling, of course there's going to be playtime indoors and outdoors, and soon I can provide extra pet supplies, but do feel free to bring your own. *Indoors in your home will be the same and I will apply your preferred schedule/routine while you're away! I believe in respecting other people's home, so if I make a mess, I'm cleaning up after myself! Also security of the home is important to me, so I do prefer to be knowledgeable of your home security system if you have one. Outdoors/ In Vehicle Leashes will be used as it is required by local guidelines, I prefer to take your pet out early mornings or evenings (7:00p.m) for potty time, but if you request them to be taken out a time of day where the sun is scorching hot, I will keep the out time very short. Feeding bowls or trays will be brought in my vehicle once I purchase another one, so your pet(s) can have nutrition on the go too!
About: I’ve had 2 dogs my entire life (Jack Russell and Toy Poodle) and many of my family members have animals of all sizes! I’d love to spend time with your furry friend when you need it!! I have open availability so whenever you need me! I also have 2 small dogs if you’d like your pup to have some friends to hang out with! I take great care in making sure your pet is safe and happy. Lists of things they like/dislike are helpful (for example my cat gets upset when he is held, but likes belly scratches)
About: I’ve grown up around pets for most of my life, my family always had at least one dog and multiple cats around, as well as exotic ones like birds. As such I was raised to love and care for pets, and currently my family has a dog and 4 cats, and I myself have a tarantula in my personal care. I’m a full time student taking 16 credit hours, but my classes have multiple hours between them, so I’m able to leave campus and visit clients homes to ensure everyone is doing ok and make sure they get the care and attention they deserve :) For all pets I keep them within my sight and paying attention to what they’re doing to make sure everything is going ok, while working on the homework for school that I’ve been assigned very close by. But I make sure that dogs would get exercise every day or more if desired, and that cats receive plenty of affection as well.
About: I’ve been a vet tech, a zookeeper, and have been caring for animals almost all my life. I went to school for wildlife ecology, and I am trained in home introduction techniques. I’m happy to care for any special needs or particular requests you have to make your pet’s as comfortable as possible during their stay! Looking forward to caring for your furry family members soon. I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, lizards… basically anything I could get away with bringing home. I have been a pet parent to my cats, Maybell for the last 10 years, and Gia for the last 6. They are precious girls that I love dearly, and I have extensive experience with varieties of dog breeds from working at a boarding and grooming facility! I work full time as a physical therapist during the week days and miss getting to have dogs around to love on! As an outdoors fanatic and someone who seeks movement throughout my days, being an add on walker/per sitter in my free time is a dream job of a way to get to be around the pets I love (but can’t currently have due to a skiddish older cat!) and my passion for taking care of others! I am comfortable with medication dispensing due to previously caring for highly medically complex family pets, as well as extensive time working at a boarding and grooming facility which taught me a myriad of tips for caring for easy and more finicky pets all alike!! I can provide and manage crate care, walking, running, and hiking experiences for your pet during a stay but also as happy to couch potato with your pup!
About: I am a highly experienced pet sitter and animal enthusiast with a lifelong passion of nurturing pets of all ages. I have worked with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to curious kittens to wise senior companions. I understand the varying requirements that come with each life stage. I recognize the importance of companionship and strive to provide affection, attention, and soothing interactions that will ease any separation anxiety. I am experienced in many breeds and species including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. Pet care is part of a daily routine which begins with a morning check in to ensure fresh food, water, and a walk or trip outside for a potty break. Throughout the day exercise and play time are included for the pets’ physical and mental well being. Every pet has its own personality, needs, and quirks which I can adapt to as needed. All pets are loved and cared as I provide top notch service to my clients. Clients will receive effective and routine communication while I care for their pets.

“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“Atrisha is always our go to sitter for Maggie Mae. She has beautiful and safe surroundings for all the dogs she cares for. Maggie is treated to love and care of the highest!”
“Truly trusted sitter! My dog had a great time and warmed up very easily with Victoria. Everyone wants their dog or cat taken care of and Victoria does just that. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates whenever possible and I just knew she was loving him like her own. She will be my go-to whenever I’m in the area and I’m glad to have booked with her.”
“Callie is the best! She takes great care of my fur baby. She is so kind, trustworthy and thoughtful. Sending daily updates and pictures, gives the reassurance and peace of mind everyone wants while they are away from their pet. Thank you, Callie!”
“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”
“Ann has given us so much peace of mind when we need to go out of town. She sends pictures and updates daily. My baby always comes home clean and happy. She even cried when leaving Ann last time. Her boys even love playing with my baby, so I know she’s entertained. I will definitely be using Ann for all future needs and I HIGHLY recommend you give her a try if you’re needing a sitter.”
“Piper is such an ideal caretaker! She was so excellent in making my dog feel at home, safe, and loved for. She was so communicative, sent great photos, and is incredibly kind! Piper is the best; I plan on booking services with her again!”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.
“Ms. Robin is a beautiful soul. We became friends instantly at our meet'n greet with our Sammy boy. She took care of him like he was her own. She treated my husband, my kids and myself like family. She sent me pictures of Samson everyday and kept us updated on how he was doing. We are truly blessed to have found Ms. Robin. Now our Samson has two mommies. We didn't just find a great Rover sitter in Ms. Robin we found a new member of our family.”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“I don’t think I could have chosen anyone better to watch my puppy than Michael! From start to finish he was so kind, communicative, and very clearly has a huge passion for dogs. Throughout the whole stay he sent regular updates with photos/videos and thoughtful messages, and I was so relieved knowing she was being cared for as if she was his own. Maggie had an absolute blast running around in his spacious yard and playing with his amazing and formidable Lily Lou! Michael was so patient with all of Maggie’s silly habits and bad puppy manners, he was also incredibly flexible with his schedule and when our plans changed. Overall he made the whole experience totally stress free. I’m so thankful that I found him, he’s truly the best and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again! 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much Michael! 🥰”
About: Hi, I’m Paula! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a complete softie for pets, and I do everything in my power to make sure every dog or cat in my care feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. At home, my family includes two American Bullies and one cat, so I’m very comfortable with multi‑pet households and all the energy, personality, and joy that comes with them. I have a special love for bully breeds, but I truly enjoy working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Because my own pets have needed medication in the past, I’m experienced with administering medicine and keeping pets calm and comfortable during the process. Whether it’s daily routines, special instructions, or extra cuddles, I’m attentive and committed to giving each pet the best experience possible. My home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from Medal of Honor Park—perfect for walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor time. I’m also only about 15 minutes from Hophounds, the dog park/bar, which gives me even more options for fun outings when appropriate. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely loves what they do, I’d be honored to care for your furry loved ones. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my everyday life. With two American Bullies and a cat at home, my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m used to managing different personalities and schedules, so adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. Throughout the week, I make time for morning and evening walks, enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping up with any medications or special instructions. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, it never feels like an extra task—it’s just part of how my days flow. Whether it’s daily check‑ins or longer stays, I’m already in the rhythm of providing consistent, loving care. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet‑friendly environment. I have two American Bullies and a cat, so I’m already used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to—regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and plenty of affection. My home is in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from Medal of Honor Park, which makes daily walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel secure while their family is away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and litter care to walks, medication, and any special needs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means slow introductions, extra playtime, or simply offering calm companionship. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just like I do with my own animals
“Lauri kept our senior dog for a weekend and I had no doubts leaving him in her care! Our dog has only stayed with family members and this was his first time staying with someone else and he had a blast!! We can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our old man!!”
About: I am a dog love and have always had multiple dogs my entire life. Have a German Shepherd that would love a new friend and play date. I work from home full time during the week. I am available for weekend drop off after 5pm. May do occasional drop off during the week. I have a fenced in yard with 1 pet. She is good around other dogs and kids. My German Shepherd is very active and friendly. She loves the backyard and her toys.
