About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members!

She also went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived early and keeping the litter box clean. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book again!”

“I had to leave unexpectedly to visit a sick sister. Chelsea did an amazing job with a very short run through of what my cat needed. In addition my cat is a 9 year old indoor rescue that I have not even had a year, so she is a little leary of people. She took right to Chelsea. Having to leave unexpectedly brought it own challenges and Chelsea went above and beyond in looking out for Luna, my cat. I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea and highly recommend her.”
“Courtney was great. Very flexible with adding more drop in visits and the addition of a three month old puppy. Very affordable!! Will definitely use her in the future!”
“Rose has been my sitter for several trips. I have three kitties with different needs, which she manages smoothly. They love to see her and I have peace of mind they are well cared for.”

I would DEFINITELY use Courtesy again.”

About: I have trained rescue dogs for the last 11 years. Including my own special guy, Rhaegar. I specialize in the dogs that are a little more challenging. I have fostered many huskies that had severe separation anxiety. Dogs are my life and I will be happy to take care of your babies like I do my own! I work from home. I am able to provide all the love and attention your baby needs 24/7. Idk about your baby, but my dogs are in and out all day long! I have two very friendly doggies that love company. My husky is high energy and loves exercise. My backyard is fenced and there are many parks nearby. My husband works from home, and he is a huge dog lover as well. I will do whatever it takes to make your babies feel like they feel when you are home with them. 💙
“Thanks so much for taking care of Max & Winston on a short notice. They seem to have had a blast they passed out for most of our journey towards which was much needed as we were also beat up from hiking the incline. We hope to visit again and will keep in touch-fingers crossed. All the best!”
About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
“Michele and her husband provided excellent care for our two dogs over a three-day period. Their communication was consistently clear and effective. We will be booking again soon.”
About: I specialize in small and medium dogs, along with seniors and special needs dogs. I've worked from home for 15+ years, which means constant, cozy company for your dog, with no long stretches alone. - I board small dogs overnight (up to 25 lbs.) and accept small and medium dogs for drop-in daycare in my home. - I can walk and drop in your home for dogs of all sizes. I've also volunteered with birds and horses, so patience and hands-on care come naturally to me. After adopting my sweet senior dog at age 14, I stayed by his side until he passed at 17. Caring for dogs now is how I honor his memory. I'd love to spoil your pup while you're away. Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. Your dog will have constant 24/7 companionship, regular gentle potty breaks, and a calm, cozy environment. I have two friendly, medium-sized dogs who are crate-trained and great with small and senior pups. For complete safety and comfort, any dog I sit stays right by my side and is never left alone with other pets. I focus on creating a secure, low-stress environment for every pet. When hosting in my home, guest dogs receive constant supervision, stay with me all day long, and have access to a safe, fully fenced yard for fresh air and gentle potty breaks. My own two dogs are friendly, well-mannered, and crate-trained, ensuring smooth boundaries and a calm atmosphere. Whether in my home or yours, I respect every dog’s individual pace, mobility needs, and daily routine, and I am happy to accommodate special care/needs for senior dogs and dogs of all ages.

I love animals more than I love people and it shows! Anytime I meet someone’s pet, they’re always drawn to me and I feel very honored by that! I’m extremely patient and calm with animals because I have had my own pets who had special needs.

“Kathy has been/IS an amazing dog walker! She has worked with us for the last few weeks and will continue working with us! She is very attentive to the dogs and their needs. Whether they are healthy or feeling sick. She has gone above and beyond the initial ask of dog walks. I Feel comfortable with her and my dogs anyday. There needs to be more people like her in the world. My faith in humanity isn’t lost. Her experience is unparalleled. She has an actual love for animals. She’s the best.”
“Stephanie has been reliable, a great communicator, and our dog loves her! She gives him plenty of water breaks on their walks together. I’m so happy we have found her! I recommend her to anyone who needs a kind person to help out with their pets.”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid! My family grew up with dogs, and once I was on my own I adopted a cat. Seeing pets while on walks makes my day. Im an extremely caring person that loves to go the extra mile for your fur babies! I’m currently unemployed to focus on my health, but am looking for something to bring meaning to my life. I have a few appointments every week, but plenty of free time to check on your pet! I always ensure that the pet’s environment is clean and there is plenty of food and water available. When with your pet I would give them as much attention as they’d like by playing or petting. I’d always make sure to lock up your home when leaving to make sure the fur babies are secure!

I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.
About: With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I have had the privilege of caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and medical needs. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services for veterinary clients in the past, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets. At home, I’m lucky enough to have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m comfortable providing attentive and compassionate care. My veterinary background has taught me to pay close attention to the little things—changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing—so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced hands. I treat every animal as an individual and strive to make their time with me as comfortable, safe, and enjoyable as possible. Your pets aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. ❤️🐾 I'm currently a stay at home mom so Ill have plenty of time to play with your babies. I am available during the week and on most weekends. I am able to kennel pets easily and administer medications as needed. I also have experience in emergency situations and can provide CPR if necessary.
About: I have previously volunteered with a county SPCA organization taking dogs out for car rides and walks. And giving cats the love they needed during a very unsettled time for them. In homes, I have cared for up to 3 dogs (each about 100 pounds) and cats at a time, dropping in two or three times a day when the owners were away for work or vacations. I would refill food and water, play with the animals, and let them out for toilet breaks/ clean the litter box, and water plants. I have had dogs for about 10 years, and I have dog/cat sat on and off while going to school for just as long. I have also aced Rover's Safety Quiz for recognizing behaviors and keeping your animal safe. I work part-time leaving ample time to do pop-ins and walks. I'm available: Mon-Thurs: before 8:45am and after 1pm Fri and Sat: before 8:45am and after 6:30pm Sun: All day I prefer to meet you and your animals first, so that we can establish trust and go over any specifics for your fur baby. Taking care of animals in their usual environment allows them not to stray from routine and gives them a sense of ease. For added peace of mind. When I am caring for your animals, I will not be caring for anyone else's. You can rest easy knowing that when we are on a walk I am only walking your fur babies.
“Lexi has been a tremendous help! I am unable to take my dog on walks due to an injury and she’s been taking him out and about for me! He loves his walks I’m so glad she’s can get him out of the house when I can’t! My dog loves it!”
“Amazing! I cannot thank Courtney enough for taking such good care of both of our animals. I will definitely use her again if we ever go out of town. Made our trip so much more fun knowing we didn’t have to worry about our girls getting good love and care. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: Growing up we had parrots, cats, dogs, an entire aquarium and a farm! My family and kids absolutely love animals. We’re a very active family that enjoys outdoors and playing in our fenced yard! I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m generally available during my little one’s nap time from 1 PM to 3 PM and I can coordinate other times with my husband, who works from home. We’re very flexible when possible and happy to discuss scheduling needs to find a time that works for everyone. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 For doggy daycare and boarding, your pup can enjoy time with our two friendly dogs if they’re comfortable together, or they can be kept completely separated when needed. I stay downstairs with boarding and daycare pets in our furnished basement, which is separate from our main living areas and has direct access to our fenced backyard. If your dog needs to be separated from ours, please keep in mind that I’ll occasionally need to come upstairs for a few minutes throughout the day to prepare meals in the kitchen. So your pup should be comfortable being alone for short periods while I do that. For drop-in visits, I provide attentive, loving care in your home. Depending on the time and location of the visit, I may occasionally need to bring my young child along, but only if the environment is safe and appropriate. I’m always happy to discuss this beforehand to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. As stated above, my husband works from home full time so we can be flexible when possible if it’s not appropriate for my youngest child to tag along in the carrier.
About: I bring over 4+ years of experience providing professional, attentive care for dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. Whether your companion is a high-energy pup needing extra exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle support, or a reactive dog needing a calm, structured environment, I am equipped to handle their specific needs with patience and expertise. Safety is the foundation of my service; I prioritize secure handling and clear communication to ensure every walk or sitting session is stress-free. I am committed to maintaining your dog’s routine while providing the engagement or quiet comfort they need to feel their best while you are away. I take pride in my ability to read canine body language and adjust my approach to keep both your pet and myself safe at all times. If you are looking for a reliable partner to support your dog’s unique personality, I am ready to provide the consistent, high-quality care they deserve. I currently have complete open availability on both weekdays and weekends. I am willing/looking to take on reoccurring clients who I can provide care for whenever needed. No matter the service being provided, your pets safety will always be my priority. On walks I will ensure that your dogs have their gear on (whether that’s leash and collar or harness and leash) properly and securely before leaving your home and I will never let them out of my sight. I will never take your pets anywhere outside of your home without your knowledge or consent.

“Sarah and her husband Patrick are AWESOME! They took AMAZING care of our 4mo old German Shepherd puppy LunaBear. They updated us throughout the process and were very kind and loving both to our fur baby and to our family. Definitely would recommend them to everyone interested! Thanks guys!”
“My dog spent almost a week with Samantha and her family, and every photo I saw, she looked so happy! They were willing to accommodate her “quirks” :) Their set up is very organized and intentional to keep all dogs that are in their care safe. I would not hesitate to leave my dog in their care again!”
“Sean and Melissa were great hosts! During Hooks stay he got into something and got sick. They immediately called our vet and set up an appointment to make sure everything was ok. Luckily it was nothing serious. We are so glad they treated Hook as if he was their own!”
“Twix loved his stay with Lexi! She sent many pictures each night. Lexi was very friendly and communicated well from the moment I reached out about boarding. I will definitely be booking with her again whenever needed.”
“Terry and Robert could not have given us more security, knowing that our dog was well taken care of. We are definitely definitely calling them the next time Jojo needs a babysitter!!!”
“Sarah was awesome! Great communication and I could see from the pictures she sent that Copper had a great time. He usually refuses to eat when we board him, but ate all his meals for Sarah. I would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Taylor is great to work with and has watched Timber several times when I had to travel. They recently got a puppy and it made for all the more fun for Timber to have a puppy to play with. I will use Taylor again!”
“Jennifer was great with Penelope. She messaged every morning and sent pictures to let me know how she was doing. Anytime I asked a question she responded promptly. I felt at ease knowing my dog was well taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book with her, your dog will be happy and well-loved. Thank you Jennifer!”
“As soon as I saw Kelli and her family, I felt very comfortable to leave my pup to her place. This was the first time for my pup to stay somewhere overnight. But I did not have to worry a bout it at all. She kept sending me info how my pup was doing. I was so happy to see all those pictures and video. I greatly appreciate that she took my pup to a hike with her family and her dog! I definitely highly recommend Kelli! I would love to ask her again for my next vacation!”
“Leslie was great! She gave me lots of updates and was flexible with my pick-up and drop off time as our plans adjusted slightly. Paisley had a lot of fun running around in the backyard with the other dogs!”
