About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.
“Jasmine is awesome!! She took excellent care of our boy and he had so much fun hanging out and going on walks & hikes with her pup Kiwi. He's been zonked out cold since we got home- the hallmark of having had a great time. I really appreciated the pics and updates, which really helped us relax on our trip.”
“Tylyn is amazing! Every time I have taken my puppy she has taken great care of him. She sends me pictures and updates me constantly. On top of that my puppy gets to see and play with other puppies whenever she cares for other dogs during the same time frame. He is always so happy to go over there. Even with his seperation anxiety she manages to deal with him and showers him with love along with taking him for long walks and doing story time with her daughter.”
“Our girls had a wonderful time with Yesenia again! She was very accommodating with our schedule and we were very comfortable knowing she was watching our dogs. We will continue to use her in the future!”
“Lesly was great with our Dog JJ. He was apparently very comfortable at her place and got lots of attention. She even Texted us several photos of him and he didn’t show any symptoms of separation anxiety, that we were worried about. Great Sitter!”
“Jennifer was great, she send me daily pictures and what Millie was up to. She let her sleep in the bed like in my home. Jennifer cares for the need and personality of each of the dogs . I will feel very good to leave my dog in her home again and i think Millie will be happy about it . Thank you !”
“Jessica watched our 9 week old puppy for 3 days. She accepted the job on a holiday weekend. She has the perfect home and yard with the friendliest dog for our puppy to play with. She sent us pics and videos and gave us such piece of mind. I will definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
“We just love Lynnette! I can't think of a better place to take your fur baby. It truly is like a resort for dogs! Holly had a great time and was probably disappointed to come home to our boring house. Lynnette sent pictures throughout her stay which helped us, knowing she was having so much fun. Thank you again Lynnette!!!”
“I had such a great experience with Tiffany and her family! This was my first time leaving George with someone unknown, and Tiffany made it so easy for me. Such a lovely family and so kind and loving to George. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”
About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs. My schedule is flexible since my daily job is a hairdresser, so I can adjust my schedule to fit in needs for each animal individually. I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing playtime and companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand the importance of following each dog's routine and giving them the attention and care they need I work a part-time job, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for dog sitting. I am available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I ensure pets receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I carefully manage my schedule to provide reliable, consistent care and keep pets comfortable in their regular routine I can care for pets either in my home or in the owner's home, depending on their needs.

“Mitchell is wonderful! She took wonderful care of my dog. My dog was right at home and extremely happy. He didn’t want to leave! I also appreciated the pictures and constant communication she had with me. Mitchell is now my go to person for my dog.”
“Oso was very happy when I picked him up. I received many happy pictures and updates along the way. He had doggy friends to play with and nice outdoor space for fun. Mary was wonderful. Thank you.”

About: I am a retired veterinary professional and lifelong animal lover. I have two extremely friendly pups, Pukka and Tildon, that are happy to share their space if your kiddo would enjoy it. I have a fenced back yard. Our household goes on one (if not more) walks a day. My boys are well leash trained and would welcome a walking buddy. Depending on your location I'd also be happy to walk your pup solo. We love cats and I am happy to give anything from a few water and kibble top offs and litter box changes as needed to nightly cuddles and adoration. I offer a love and care for all critters (snakes, birds, rabbits, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, horses, you name it!), 10+ years of experience in the veterinary field, and an understanding of animal handling that I know will bring you comfort in my work. If your pet requires special care such as insulin injections, oral medications, SQ fluids, etc please notify me. I am comfortable with medical procedures but reserve the right to adjust my pricing according (upon discussion of course). I work 8-4:30 most days. I am two minutes away from home and always come home to check on the critters on my lunch. We go for walks in them morning before work and there is a dog door into the back yard that can be open if needed. Fenced (6+ feet) back yard with locked gate. I have door dog insert on my back door so everyone can come and go as they please. I live in a small one room studio with a yard about four times its size. Dogs are allowed on the bed and there is a step up onto the bed for senior citizens. It is a small but very comfortable space.

“Ashley took care of our beloved Murphy expertly. She always provided pictures and updates to us. She was also available wherever we needed to talk on the phone. While she house sat and took care of our cat, she also watered all our plants and our home was spotless after our week-long vacation. We would highly recommend Ashley to care for any of your fur babies and home.”
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for cats, including my own four with very different personalities, from playful kittens to more independent, sometimes feisty adults. This has taught me to read feline body language and give each cat the right mix of space, play, and affection. I’m comfortable with litter box cleaning, feeding schedules, administering simple medications, and light grooming. Whether your cat loves lap time or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure, and cared for.

About: While I don’t have cats of my own, I regularly take care of my mom’s cat when she’s out of town. I have helped her find a litter that works well for her, as well as replace harmful treats with ones that “make her fur softer than ever”. I recently met two cats who were polar opposites and I was lucky enough to be greeted by the one who never says hi to strangers :)
“Jody was amazing attending to Simba’s care details including feeding and medication schedules. She also gave Simba the extra attention and love that put me at ease knowing Simba was getting the very best care. I will definitely contract her for future sitting for Simba!”
About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!
“Renee was awesome with our cats Clyde and Woody! She went above and beyond to bond with our cats, take care of food supply and clean up the litter box. The pics proved she provided proved that they adored her. Renee followed up on every one of our suggestions to keep our young kitties happy and loved! Thank you Renee!”
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
“Tyler took great care of our elderly cat Cassie, giving her daily medication, and her meals. Tyler is timely and communicative. On time, sent plenty of photos. We came back home to a very happy and content cat. Thank you, Tyler!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’ve dealt with a lot of different cats with extremely different personalities and I’ve loved them all. 2 of the cats I’ve owned have needed oral medication (pill and liquid), so I’m very comfortable doing that. I’ve also fostered many litters so they could find their forever home :)
About: I’ve grown up with cats all my life. I know to change their little box and feed them and play with them as well as groom them . Very strict about care routine just give me a list and a time for their feedings and when and how you would like their litter box changed.
“Monisha provided excellent service caring for our chickens. She sent dozens of photos and videos our way and even reported suspicious behavior in the neighborhood while we were away. Great communicator. Highly recommended.”
About: I have a strong background in animal behavior, safety, and handling across a wide range of species including exotic pets, livestock, aquatic life, and common household animals. With 12+ years of experience working with horses and instructing beginner riders. I am experienced in professional dog bathing, small-scale breeding, livestock care, and much more. With entrepreneurial experience through ownership of Liv’s Critters, a reptile breeding and education business. I am an excellent and reliable communicator with a huge passion for animal welfare and education.
“Lauren is wonderful! She is professional, friendly, and takes excellent care of our fur baby. While I hate to leave my cat for extended periods, it’s a great comfort knowing that she’s the one taking care of him. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I know what it means to view your pets as your family. I share my home with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and backyard is even shared with 15 chickens! My furry and feathered friends are my world! And we’ve learned a lot together about building a healthy, happy, and cohesive home through trust and training. Other than being a pet parent for the past 15 years, I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter as a kid/teen. I often did overnight stays for anxious pets, or provided timely medication for sweet seniors. As a pet parent, I truly understand the importance of having a sitter you can trust to provide mutually agreed upon services. With me, you have reliable care for all your pet needs.
“Lily took such great care of my cat while I was away! She is very communicative, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. I had such peace of mind knowing she’d be checking in on my cat. Thank you Lily!!”

“Kena is THE BEST! She’s watched my pup multiple times now, and she always takes such excellent care of him. She’s great about sending pictures and updates. I have no worries about leaving my fur baby with her.”
“Lynnette is very caring and dependable. My Sammy loves her so much, he cries when we pull into her driveway. He can’t wait to get to her! I know that Sammy will be safe and well-cared for whenever he is with Lynnette. Bonus: Cash is a big, friendly dog and gets along great with my little guy.”
“Holly has been an amazing sitter for our Goldendoodle. Our dog tends to be high-strung but she is totally relaxed with Holly and enjoys going on walks. It didn't take our dog long to feel comfortable with Holly. We are really happy with her service.”

About: I have experience caring for many dogs for friends family and neighbors. I often would care for my neighbors dog since he was a puppy, parents worked full time and puppies need all the attention they can get so I helped train him. I also trained my own puppy Melo, he’s still growing and learning but I love being his mom. I take extra care of his supplements and nutrition so I know the importance of taking the extra time to do all of that. I have a verry good schedule with being home, I have two dogs of my own iam always coming home at lunch whenever I work. My husband also has a great schedule and helps me out whenever iam not here . When boarding with me I’ll have my dogs stay under my moms care while I pay full attention to your critter. I live in a house with a huge yard they can run around. I am also close enough to bidwell park to go on walks if you’d like that!
“Jessica was great! She took our dog in last minute for the day and sent us updates throughout the time. The backyard was huge and had plenty of space for the dog to run and sniff.”
“Autumn was great!!! She came and met my dog before the doggy day care stay. She made sure my dog was comfortable with her and followed all my instructions. My dog got along well with Bruno, Autumn’s dog. Bruno is very friendly. She took videos of them playing and sent me regular photo updates,which I really appreciated. I will continue working with Autumn for doggy day care! Thank you!”
“Maeve loves going to Forest's house! We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with Maeve. Forest always makes sure she gets good exercise and has fun stories to share with us after her stays.”
“This is our first time using Rover and Danielle was great! We set up a meet and greet, which was super important as our Nala is a senior-pup and can be picky. Danielle was flexible the whole way through. Our plans changed during the day, and we needed to update our pick-up time - No Problem! Nala came home happy and looked like she'd had fun. Danielle even sent us some great pictures from Nala's stay. Would definitely book with Danielle again!”
About: I bring a lifetime of animal care experience to every pup I watch. From leading 4H swine projects to raising multiple dogs at a time, animals have always been part of my daily life. I have taken several animal care courses and have an EMT background, so I am confident handling everything from routine needs to unexpected situations. I also specialize in leash training and love working with both energetic puppies and gentle seniors. My friends laugh that I would make a great dog photographer because I cannot resist capturing their personalities and quirks. More than anything, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I enjoy starting mornings with walks, building in play sessions in the afternoon, and winding down with cuddle time in the evenings. Whether it is a quick walk, training time, or just hanging out together, I love making sure each dog feels included in the rhythm of my day. When dogs stay with me for boarding or overnight care, they become part of my household. They get a comfortable place to rest, plenty of playtime, and regular walks built into the day. I make sure their routines are followed as closely as possible so they feel at home, whether that means a favorite toy at bedtime or a certain feeding schedule. For daily walks or playtime day dates, I focus on keeping them active, engaged, and safe. Walks include leash training reinforcement if needed, and playtime is all about burning off energy in a fun, positive way. I know how important this care is because I have been on the other end of the service myself. That experience drives me to give every pet loving attention, a safe environment, and peace of mind for their people while they are away.
About: I will make sure all of the pets needs are met during their entire stay with me and given lots of love during their time. I am a teacher on summer break so I am finding way to make some extra cash while loving your babies! I plan to drop in when you need/when I’m available and make sure your pet gets their needs fulfilled. I plan to make sure your pet is happy and needs are met! If they need walks, water, food, or even a little play time I’m the one to call!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!
About: I've had animals all my life. I've cared for neighbor's pets since I was little and I have experience with animals of all sizes, from hamsters to horses! I have small pet, herp, and invert experience as well. I'm dedicated to providing the very best care for your pets! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me plenty of time to ensure your animals are perfectly cared for! I come to your home and ensure that every animal has food and water, that everyone is healthy and happy, and spend time with each animal.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me.

I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was very young. I grew up around, birds, dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits I know how to change cages. it trained all of my family pets myself i abusoly love and adore animals I am completely open and flexible with my schedule.

In addition to these routines, I am happy to provide grooming care, such as bathing and brushing, and I will always keep the space clean. My goal is to provide the best care possible so that your furry friend’s daily routine remains exactly the same as it is when they are with you.
About: I have taken care of fur babies since I was a child. I am currently 55 years old, so a very long time! I lived on a ranch for a good portion of my life with all types of animals, from kittens and puppies, to cattle and horses. I have fostered litters of kittens for roughly 10 years. No pet is too complicated for me! (Except maybe snakes) My schedule is kept open for pet care. It helps me stay motivated when I get to play catch with and love on the kitties and doggies I have a fenced in large backyard with no holes. I do have two pet friendly dogs and two pet friendly cats in my home and they are all great with other animals. I believe that it is important to respect other people’s homes and care for their pets as if they were my own. Pets are not only companions, they are family members.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science (Pre-Vet) at Chico State and working toward my Veterinary Assistant certification, which has given me hands-on experience in proper animal handling, behavior, and care. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats extensively, including volunteering at animal and cat shelters. As a pet owner myself (from a Belgian Malinois to a Chihuahua, and currently a cat), I understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. I’m also involved in Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I help train dogs; building strong skills in patience, consistency, and communication. Most importantly, I care not only about your pets but about your peace of mind. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own cat with a consistent feeding schedule, fresh water, enrichment, and medication when needed. I also regularly work with livestock, keeping me active in hands-on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and I take care to remove any potential hazards. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and any specific care needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and stress-free. I also carry basic animal first aid supplies and am prepared to respond calmly in case of emergencies. Building trust with pet parents is just as important to me as caring for their pets. I provide updates, communicate clearly, and aim to give helpful feedback when needed. My goal is for you to feel completely confident while you’re away and to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet.
About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs.

I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years and truly love working with animals.

I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for about a week at a time, helping with feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and will care for your pets like they’re my own. I am currently working part time. Usually my schedule is Monday-Thursday from 3pm-8pm. I am able to stay overnight on weekends (will be notified if I get scheduled by work instead). I have free time to come check on dogs every few hours and give them lots of love and attention. Also depending on my schedule I can work during the week. I’m a college student but I’m on summer break so no need to worry about my school schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment so your furry friend can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

From high-energy pups to laid-back cuddle bugs, I match their vibe and make sure they have the best time. Expect lots of tail wags, happy moments, and cute photo updates! I’m free just tell me your needs and how I can assist you and your amazing fur babies and how I can show them as much love as they deserve I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medical requirements. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes and prioritize their safety at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home.
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
About: I’ve taken care of animals professionally since I was 15, and I’ve also cared for friends and families pets since I was 10. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, as well as ones that are disabled or need medication. I highly enjoy being around animals. My pets are my world, and I love meeting new animals and being able to care for them. I recently graduated from college and I’m currently working as I’m waiting for admission into the nursing program. I am looking to do something I love and to help others with their life at the same time. I usually will be working every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from between 5:30am-12:30pm, but morning drop-ins before work shouldn’t be an issue and I can also drop in after work. I’ve had multiple pets in the past. I currently have one cat named Thumper. I enjoy spending time with her and taking her on walks, as she is very curious. She has brain damage as well as very bad anxiety, so she does require more care than normal. She also gets oral medication everyday for her anxiety so she can stay calm and not feel stressed all of the time.
About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on consistency, calm handling, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require slower walks, gentle care, and attention to comfort. I prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am comfortable caring for them even if they aren’t my own. I am available on weekends from 8-6pm. Weekdays vary but I am open to late afternoon walks depending on the day due to my job. I care for dogs during walks by keeping them safe, paying attention to their needs, and adjusting the pace to match their energy. I focus on positive, calm walks where they can explore, feel comfortable, and get the exercise they need.

“Having King with Holly was amazing! She sent so many pictures and really made me feel at ease. She listened to everything and he had so much fun. I would definitely recommend for dog sitting and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jasmine is awesome!! She took excellent care of our boy and he had so much fun hanging out and going on walks & hikes with her pup Kiwi. He's been zonked out cold since we got home- the hallmark of having had a great time. I really appreciated the pics and updates, which really helped us relax on our trip.”
“Tylyn is amazing! Every time I have taken my puppy she has taken great care of him. She sends me pictures and updates me constantly. On top of that my puppy gets to see and play with other puppies whenever she cares for other dogs during the same time frame. He is always so happy to go over there. Even with his seperation anxiety she manages to deal with him and showers him with love along with taking him for long walks and doing story time with her daughter.”
“Jennifer was great, she send me daily pictures and what Millie was up to. She let her sleep in the bed like in my home. Jennifer cares for the need and personality of each of the dogs . I will feel very good to leave my dog in her home again and i think Millie will be happy about it . Thank you !”
“Jessica watched our 9 week old puppy for 3 days. She accepted the job on a holiday weekend. She has the perfect home and yard with the friendliest dog for our puppy to play with. She sent us pics and videos and gave us such piece of mind. I will definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
“We just love Lynnette! I can't think of a better place to take your fur baby. It truly is like a resort for dogs! Holly had a great time and was probably disappointed to come home to our boring house. Lynnette sent pictures throughout her stay which helped us, knowing she was having so much fun. Thank you again Lynnette!!!”
“I had such a great experience with Tiffany and her family! This was my first time leaving George with someone unknown, and Tiffany made it so easy for me. Such a lovely family and so kind and loving to George. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”
“Mitchell is wonderful! She took wonderful care of my dog. My dog was right at home and extremely happy. He didn’t want to leave! I also appreciated the pictures and constant communication she had with me. Mitchell is now my go to person for my dog.”
“Oso was very happy when I picked him up. I received many happy pictures and updates along the way. He had doggy friends to play with and nice outdoor space for fun. Mary was wonderful. Thank you.”
About: I am a retired veterinary professional and lifelong animal lover. I have two extremely friendly pups, Pukka and Tildon, that are happy to share their space if your kiddo would enjoy it. I have a fenced back yard. Our household goes on one (if not more) walks a day. My boys are well leash trained and would welcome a walking buddy. Depending on your location I'd also be happy to walk your pup solo. We love cats and I am happy to give anything from a few water and kibble top offs and litter box changes as needed to nightly cuddles and adoration. I offer a love and care for all critters (snakes, birds, rabbits, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, horses, you name it!), 10+ years of experience in the veterinary field, and an understanding of animal handling that I know will bring you comfort in my work. If your pet requires special care such as insulin injections, oral medications, SQ fluids, etc please notify me. I am comfortable with medical procedures but reserve the right to adjust my pricing according (upon discussion of course). I work 8-4:30 most days. I am two minutes away from home and always come home to check on the critters on my lunch. We go for walks in them morning before work and there is a dog door into the back yard that can be open if needed. Fenced (6+ feet) back yard with locked gate. I have door dog insert on my back door so everyone can come and go as they please. I live in a small one room studio with a yard about four times its size. Dogs are allowed on the bed and there is a step up onto the bed for senior citizens. It is a small but very comfortable space.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jenna was incredibly communicative the entire time, sending me updates and photos so I knew my boy was happy and well cared for. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be hiring her again for the future and I highly recommend Jenna!”
“Taralene was so accommodating to me and my dog! We needed a last minute booking and she didn't hesitate to respond back with a solid yes. I receieved several photos throughout the week and could tell my boy was in good hands. My dog returned to me happy, healthy and tired. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Taralene again.”
“Dayanara took the very Best care of our 8 month old, high energy puppy, as well as our older, mature Pomsky. Both have different needs and she was able to accommodate them perfectly. Not only does Dayanara love dogs, she understands their behavior. If something is not quite right with our pets, she brings it to my attention and I appreciate that. I would definitely use her again. Steve”
