“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
“Samantha went above and beyond for our boys! We were visiting family in TN for the holidays. One of our boys came down with sudden and severe Lyme symptoms while we were gone. Samantha spent many hours with him in urgent care on New Year’s Eve. She even bought the workers there pizza! She was great at caring for him and giving him meds after. Her fenced-in yard and house arrangement are perfect for our boys. She sent daily pictures and videos of our pups playing with her dog Mac and snuggling with her family. We will definitely be using her again. In fact, if she’s not available, we might reschedule our vacation to a time she is!”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Mallory and James provide a loving home environment for any pup they take in. The dogs are made to feel as a part of their own family. I know that Miss Kisses is safe, calm, and loved with Mallory and James.”
“Colette was absolutely wonderful. Winnie loved her! Her fenced in backyard is perfect for a small dog who loves to feel “free”! She sent us multiple photos and updates. We’d definitely use her again!”
About: I treat every pet like my own, giving them loving, attentive care tailored to their needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I'm confident with administering medications, following special diets, and keeping routines consistent. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy training and reinforcing good behavior through positive reinforcement. Reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals are what make me stand out. I am a stay at home mama with plenty of free time and love to watch over your furry family! Just shoot me a text and I’m sure to make it work! I offer lots of walks and plenty of running room. My dog and I love going to the dog park and won’t mind taking yours as well!
“Jessica is great to work with. My two dogs seemed to have fun and were exhausted which is great! She is a caring provider who truly looks out for the needs of your dogs. I have a 14 yr. old and 5 yr. old labradoodle. We would not hesitate to use her again. She repeatedly sent us pictures of how they were doing, which is comforting as it was their first visit with her. We did a meet and greet beforehand which was also very reassuring!”
“Stay was awesome. They were super welcoming, accommodating, and were amazing with my puppy. She loved being there for the weekend and I loved the updates I got knowing she was ok. I love talking to them about better ways to train my pup and they are a great sounding board for a new puppy owner like me. I can't recommend them enough!”
“We boarded our dog Lucas with Paola for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Paola kept us updated throughout the stay by sending us regular pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Lucas looked like he was having a blast—playing with the other dogs and enjoying his time. It’s clear that Paola truly cares for the dogs she watches. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter!”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Bethany was absolutely fantastic. This was Trip's first time alone with a Rover sitter and Bethany did everything possible to make him feel at home. Bethany provided daily updates and tons of pictures. We are so very thankful.”
“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”
“Nicole was an ideal host. She and her husband had their home all set up to manage all the dogs they were looking after. That's dedication in my book. I will definitely keep her at the top of my list the next time I need someone to look after my dog.”
“Erica, again, took wonderful care of Sully. He comes home happy, tired from romping with his friends and no whining. He ate well, also. We will continue to use Erica’s sitting service whenever she is available. Thank you!”
“Bailey loves visiting Brittany and family!!! Never EVER worry about his care So many photos of Bailey’s antics. Always know what he’s up to because of her amazing communication He becomes an instant member of their family. Absolutely the best sitter!”

“Rachel was absolutely phenomenal. One of our cats ended up needing antibiotics with his meals and she not only put it in his food but went and found him and ensured that he ate it all! And she did some serious clean up/management of our unexpectedly destructive second cat. She communicated extremely well, was kind and compassionate, and took everything in stride. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Mariah was great with our pups!! She was willing to come out prior to booking to meet the dogs and ensure they were comfortable. She communicated great, and was flexible with her schedule. Our pups enjoyed spending time with her!!”
“Madison is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were away, kept everything running smoothly, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jane was great. Followed my overly detailed directions for indoor and stray kitties with thoughtfulness. Answered my texts promptly and patiently. Loved getting the pictures of my fur-babies while I was away! I would definitely book again and recommend highly for attention to detail, patience, and professionalism.”
“Tiffany was a great cat sitter for our cat Vinny! She provided play time, regular feeding and litter changes, and went above and beyond by sending 5 pictures a day during and after her visits. We really appreciated how communicative she was and would hire her again in a second. Last but not least, her prices for cat sitting are incredibly affordable. Book her!”
“I'm so happy I found Samantha to help out with my kitty, Charlie, who requires two insulin shots a day for her diabetes. It was my first time going out of state since my cat's diagnosis, but Samantha's thorough communication at every visit helped assure me that my cat was in good hands. She followed the instructions for our cat perfectly which I also really appreciate. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
About: I have owned cats for the last 40 years. And while that makes me as old as dirt, it has also given me loads of experience when it comes to their care. In addition, working in rescue has taught me about trapping, medical issues, fostering, foster failing (it's a thing...but cat math is different than regular math so it's totally fine), giving meds, syringe feeding, etc.
“Another great job by Katie! My scaredy cat is warming up to Katie more & more. I’m grateful to have found her. I don’t worry about my fur babies while I’m away, I know they’re in good hands.”
“Sarah was phenomenal! We have a skittish cat that wasn’t adjusting well to us being gone. Sarah went above and beyond to provide enrichment opportunities for the cat treats for her to find & toys for her to locate. Highly recommend”
About: I bring a quiet, steady presence into every visit. Cats are highly sensitive to energy and routine, so I move slowly, speak softly, and allow them to approach on their own terms. I focus on maintaining their normal schedule and creating a peaceful environment where they feel safe and undisturbed. My goal is for your cat to remain relaxed and comfortable while you’re away, with care that feels consistent and respectful.
“Marley did an excellent job in caring for my 2 kitties. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that she was there and looked forward to the daily pictures. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I've had cats since I was 3years old. My current 3 are all rescues. I love watching thier individual personalities come out and seeing them happy and comfortable. In 2013 I took and passed a vet-tech certification program through a local accredited college, so I understand the nauances of cats and thier care requirements.
About: I grew up with four dogs over the past ten years! Friends and neighbors relied on me to walk and feed their pets and pet sit. I am currently a grad student going to clinical. I am available in the evenings Monday/Wednesday through Sunday! On Tuesdays, I am available during the day! I live in the Fox Point neighborhood and I feel comfortable walking and or running with your pet. I will treat your pet & home with love!
“My husband and I were able to go away for the weekend with extreme confidence that Patches would be well-cared-for. Jessica and Alex were warm and friendly and we could see that Patches liked them very much. We loved the photos and the map showing his walks. We would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and will definitely use her again. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all different types of animals from lizards to ferrets to turtles and, of course cats and dogs since before I can remember! All of my life I’ve had and taken care of happy and healthy fur babies of my own that I treat with the utmost love, care, and attention so I’ll definitely treat your fur baby like my own as they should be treated. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I go to school online but outside of that I love taking care of my fur babies and other fur babies as well and have free time and availability to do so! My routine consists of starting the day at 7/8am and taking pup for walks, swimming, the dog park etc. and if you choose me for your pet sitter your baby (unless different needs must be met) will accompany us for a fun-filled day!🥰 I can do all day sits or overnight stays at your home. Or if you prefer me to do drop-ins to your home id be more than happy too! Whatever makes you and your precious fur baby happy.:) Note: I do have a 3.5 year old who usually accompanies me with my regular clients. If you choose me as your sitter this is good to note because I will only be able to be solo on some weekends. She has been around multiple different types of animals big and small since she was born. She is good with being gentle and knowing her boundaries but I recognize she’s still young so I can assure you constant supervision will be had for the safety of your fur baby and my baby. At my home, I also have a boxer who loves small dogs as well! They will be in great company. At your home, I will provide your pet and home with the utmost love and care. I will also be sure to provide you consistent updates to keep your mind at ease because I know how worrisome it could be leaving your fur babies behind and you want to be sure they are being taken care of. So I’ll be sure to show you just that!

“Taelor has been incredible with my dog, Jerry! She watches him 2–3 times a week, and I couldn’t ask for someone more reliable, caring, and attentive. From the very beginning, she made Jerry feel comfortable and safe, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after. Jerry also made a new best friend in her sweet dog, Piglet, which makes his visits even more fun! He always comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed, which tells me he had a great day under her care. Taelor keeps me updated throughout the day with photos and little notes, which gives me total peace of mind while I’m at work. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pup, she’s the one to choose. Jerry and I are so grateful to have found her!”
“My dog loved it with them. With a new puppy I felt comfortable leaving her with them, and the did a great job with her. Loved the updates throughout the day. Will use them again as I feel safe leaving my puppy with them”
“Colette was very sweet with my Nala. She was very nice and sent pictures and status of Nala during the day. Nala was very happy with Colette and had a great time staying with her. We loved the experience and we will book her again.”
“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
“Zulma was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to allow Russell to get acquainted with his surroundings and safely meet her dog, Luna, who was a great teacher and playmate for him. We were so impressed by her understanding of dog behavior and especially her insight into Russell’s behavior and skin condition. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Russell in her care, and we would highly recommend her!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was in need of last second care, she went out of her way to send me updates and photos throughout the day which I greatly appreciated as well as picking up and dropping off my baby. She’s a saint!”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve been working with animals for as long as I can remember! From hamsters to horses - I’ve cared for nearly any animal you can think of. I attended Norfolk Aggie, majoring in Animal Science. Since then, I’ve worked as a vet tech, grooming assistant, assistant trainer, and in multiple barns and kennels. Aside from caring for pets, I currently work from home on my fiancé and I’s business, and do freelance photography (always happy to get some cute pics!) Training is a massive aspect of pet care. It’s important to have a sitter that understands your goals, reinforces correct behaviors, and constantly works to improve. Aside from training, having expertise in many areas of pet care, along with having experience with many different species, breeds, and personality types allows me to confidently handle any situation. Not only do I offer top notch care - I’m a huge communicator! I send lots of updates and adorable photos. When booking with me, you will never have to worry or wonder what your pets are up to (Check in as often as you want! I encourage it!) I also offer bathing & nail trims! Please feel free to ask any questions, my priority is always the comfort of you and your furry friends. Looking forward to hearing from you! Aside from caring for other pets, most of my work is online. This allows me to be flexible of when or even where I work. Feel free to let me know exactly what you’re looking for, and we can come up with a plan! Every pet is unique, and needs different things! I tailor my visits to each individual animal. My goal is to create a happy and loving environment for your pets while you’re away, and earn your trust so you can leave your worries behind!
“Jessica was great with our springer who has a lot of energy. We contacted Jessica last minute and with no hesitation she was available. She made our dog feel comfortable all day. She sent updates and pictures !! We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Thank you so much”
“Kayla was amazing with my dog! Each time I picked him up, he was happy, and clearly well cared for. She took amazing care of my pet even though he has a broken leg and has restrictions. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her services are absolutely worth every penny.”
“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Dani was amazing! Took my dog to her 3x and she was excited each time. Photos and updates were sent without asking. I would definitely book anytime to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend.”
“Our dog seemed like he had a great time! He loved playing with her dogs! She was responsive and was able to book at such short notice!! She is so friendly and our dog warmed up to her right away!”
“We’ve had a great experience with Trish. Gizmo is still new to us and can be sensitive with transitions, and she has been incredibly patient, calm, and accommodating from the start. He settles while he’s there (even if he hasn’t slept yet), and it’s clear he feels safe and well cared for. She’s kind, attentive, and truly understands dogs who need a little extra gentleness. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust and feel comfortable leaving him with. Highly recommend!”
“Paola and her husband did a wonderful job watching our Sparky! From the time we dropped him off we were very comfortable with them and the wonderful environment they provided for our pup. They are both very caring and I could tell Sparky had a great time!! I recommend them highly!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life—my own dog James came into my life when I was just 11 years old, and from then on, caring for animals became second nature. I bring a patient, gentle, and intuitive approach to each pet I care for. I’m especially great with shy or nervous dogs and have experience with both playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra TLC. What really sets me apart is how I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, going for long walks, or just providing a calm and loving environment. I’m also detail-oriented, reliable, and great at communicating with pet parents—so you’ll always know your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I often structure my day around my responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it's early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I always find time to give pets the love and attention they need. Caring for animals is something that brings me joy and balance in the middle of a busy academic life—it never feels like a chore. It’s actually one of the most relaxing and rewarding parts of my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space and follow the routine they’ve set for their furry friend. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I work hard to maintain their usual schedule—whether that means feeding at specific times, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or administering medications.
“Our sweet pup had so much fun with Marie and her husband for the days we booked. So much more joy and excitement we haven't seen in her in the mornings getting ready to go for the day to her new friend's house and more still when she was ready to come home. Will only trust this couple with our baby.”
About: I’m a compassionate and dedicated animal lover with over 11 years of experience in pet care and farm management. From a young age, animals have been a central part of my life, and my love for them only continues to grow. Whether it’s through my own pets or helping friends and family, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in animal care. I’m on a mission to create a rescue and horse stall that will not only offer a safe haven for animals but will also serve as a place for children with autism and special needs to experience the healing power of animal therapy. My goal is to create an environment where both animals and people can thrive, connecting through the unique bond that therapy animals offer. What I Offer I provide a range of services with your pet happiness as my top priority, including: • Nail care and baths • Dog walking and pet sitting • Specially prepared homemade food tailored to your pet’s dietary needs I believe in offering care that goes beyond just the basics. Your pets will be treated like family, and I promise they will be in the best hands possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. Please feel free to share your preferred schedule, here on rover and I’ll do my best to accommodate both your needs and your pup’s. Thank you. I have a partially fenced yard with a river in the back, and my two pups, Nala and Winchester, are here to keep your dog company—there will be plenty of activities and fun for your pup! For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I do require an up-to-date vaccination record for each pet. I also ask for a brief overview of your pet’s daily routine, so I can maintain their schedule and ensure they stay comfortable and happy during their time with us. Additionally, please feel free to share any important details, such as potential triggers, resource guarding tendencies, allergies, or anything else I should know. I’d love to also hear about their favorite treats, toys, and activities to make sure they have an enjoyable stay!
About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years, they bring me so much joy, I truly enjoy each and every one of them. I am currently working part time and I am looking to fill in my time with something I really enjoy, taking care of pets! 😊 I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take the dogs out leashed and also for walks in my neighborhood or yours.😊I am very trustworthy, I can provide references if needed.
“Enid was great! Sent me lots of pics and kept me updated and made me feel comfortable! She has a fenced in backyard and Kuna came back happy and healthy! She was very accommodating when I got stuck in traffic on the way back and I really appreciated that!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Putnam
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: It's my mission to be your pet's newest favorite human. I've been volunteering, rescuing and fundraising for Paws Cat Shelter in Putnam CT since 2017. I'm also their mascot appearing in many downtown events. If the cats only knew the lengths I go for them! I have five cats of my own (Penny, Bentley, Boober, Mokey and Wembley) and I'm a dog mom to Frank, a mini Aussie Shepard. I've done home and pet sitting for friends and co-workers and I know the importance of finding someone reliable and trustworthy to watch my own animals. I'm comfortable with giving meds, syringe feeding, poop scooping and litterbox digging. I work full time as a Financial Systems Analyst for EG America (Cumberland Farms) but my schedule allows for flexibility. I can do drop-in visits or set up shop in your kitchen with my laptop if you don't mind sharing your WiFi. Just give me all of the detailed instructions/routines (like, go full-on OCD, I can appreciate that!) and I'll take care of the rest. I like to send text updates and pictures so you're at ease knowing your kids are happy and healthy.
“I highly recommend having Jane as a dog walker! She is quick to respond to messages and great at communicating. I loved that she sent me pictures of my dog on their walk and kept me updated on how she was doing while I was at work. She was great with my little corgi! Both Poppy and I are looking forward to using Jane for more dog walks to come!”
About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help with certain behaviors. I can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill my time with some amazing animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch cat friendly dogs in my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home as well to make them feel comfortable and help with routine.
“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
“I was particularly apprehensive about choosing a dog walker for my rescue dog. Molly is high anxiety, a result of her abusive history. I’d used the same dog-walker for three years, since first adopting Molly. She was a college student whose class schedule ultimately clashed with her dog-walking schedule, leaving me to find someone new. I interviewed several candidates, ultimately choosing Kala because she clearly showed an understanding of how best to interact with anxious rescue animals. Molly took to her quickly, so I’d say that Molly chose Kala! Kala has been great! She’s kind, patient, and understanding with Molly’s quirks. Molly seems to really love her, which obviously makes it easier for me when I have to be away from her. I would highly recommend Kala, particularly for those with very sensitive animals. I can’t say enough good things about her.”

I am available in the evenings Monday/Wednesday through Sunday! On Tuesdays, I am available during the day! I live in the Fox Point neighborhood and I feel comfortable walking and or running with your pet. I will treat your pet & home with love!
About: Hi!! I’ve had experience with animals for my entire life, and I’m looking for a bit more experience to build up my portfolio for veterinary school. This would be beneficial and enjoyable and open your schedule a bit. I’m currently at my normal job 4 days a week, on top of college, volunteering , and social obligations. I have 3 days off on which I can potentially be available. Im unavailable for any pet services in my own home, but I can commute to you and care for your pet at yours. I can do bathing, cage cleaning, walking, feeding, watering, playing, and any other necessary tasks. I will not stay anywhere overnight, but I can work with your animals for a few hours during the day.
“Grace is an absolute gem, AND we were lucky enough to be her very first Rover walk! We have a 1-year-old bull terrier, Romani, who is crazy, hyper, and loveable in equal measure. Grace took it all in stride like she'd been doing this for years. She was incredibly sweet with her, and Romani loved her right back. She tracked her pee breaks and poop breaks and kept her out walking the full time (maybe a little over actually!). That kind of attentiveness and communication means the world when you're trusting someone with your fur baby. If you're on the fence about booking Grace, don't be. She's a natural, and we will 100% be booking her again. Give this girl all the five stars! 🐾”
About: Lots of experience taking care of dogs. But could take care of cats too. Experience with horses as well and overnight is an option as well . I’m headed to college so won’t be around much after Aug. but could maybe fit some in on breaks and holiday's or next summer time . I do pet sitting in your home or business . I do not offer boarding options or have the means to take care of pets at my house
About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure.

My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, starting with my own pets and eventually helping care for the pets of family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and building loving friendships with each one. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm also a proud cat owner, and caring for my own cat has given me firsthand experience in providing attentive, daily care and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have full time employment as an educator but will have summer break coming in June so I will have plenty of time for your pets!☺️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also keep their space clean, fresh, and stress-free, and I always provide updates with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. For dogs, I enjoy going on long, engaging walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. For cats, I focus on gentle care, play, and respecting their comfort level—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of dogs, both my own and others. I enjoy spending time with them in different ways- walking, hiking, or just hanging out at home, and I can be flexible to you and their needs and preferences. For many years, I owned a reactive dog with high vulnerability and sensitive needs, which taught me how to be vigilant, patient, and understanding. I am currently working on training my own 2.5 year old big energy dog, and I am strengthening my skills and learning to apply my knowledge in different ways. I understand and value the importance of understanding your environment and preferences for your pet and would be eager to help! I currently work fully-remote and have full control over my schedule of appointments. I am free on weekends with few limitations. My daily schedule for walks and play time can accommodate your preferences. I enjoy neighborhood, park, or forest walks, and I don’t mind the weather. In the home, I use Toys and other enrichment activities to keep your pets brain going. I try to keep your dogs interested and occupied- a tired dog is a happy dog! I also LOVE doggy cuddles and movie time in the case of overnight sitting.
About: I have taken care of a German Shepherd, Shih Tzus, and chihuahuas as needed for the past couple years. I work part time for a maximum of five hours a day so I am available to provide dogs with attention and care at home the rest of the time. :) I work part time for a maximum of five hours a day, when I am outside of work I spend most of time home. During the time I am at home I’m able to adjust your pets care according to your preference. I live in an apartment and have a small male chihuahua who gets along great with other dogs. I don’t have a restrictive environment and will happily allow your dog to rest on the couches and beds, and roam around the apartment. I don’t have a fenced yard but I can walk and take your dog potty on a leash.
About: I grew up with a sense of love and respect for all animals. I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember! I have taken care of many animals for friends and family while they were away! I’ve also had professional experience while caring for animals at a pet resort. We would board dogs and also have daily day care pups! I would feed and let the animals out while also administering any medicines that were needed. I was able to set up daycare play groups to enjoy time in the yard and socialize! I am available throughout the week, I’m always around for a great time with the pups! As I get more active in my personal life walking dogs and playing with animals is great physically and mentally! I have crate trained previous pups. While taking care of my dogs or anyone else’s the best time is when we can have fun but still be safe.

“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
“Samantha went above and beyond for our boys! We were visiting family in TN for the holidays. One of our boys came down with sudden and severe Lyme symptoms while we were gone. Samantha spent many hours with him in urgent care on New Year’s Eve. She even bought the workers there pizza! She was great at caring for him and giving him meds after. Her fenced-in yard and house arrangement are perfect for our boys. She sent daily pictures and videos of our pups playing with her dog Mac and snuggling with her family. We will definitely be using her again. In fact, if she’s not available, we might reschedule our vacation to a time she is!”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Mallory and James provide a loving home environment for any pup they take in. The dogs are made to feel as a part of their own family. I know that Miss Kisses is safe, calm, and loved with Mallory and James.”

“Jessica is great to work with. My two dogs seemed to have fun and were exhausted which is great! She is a caring provider who truly looks out for the needs of your dogs. I have a 14 yr. old and 5 yr. old labradoodle. We would not hesitate to use her again. She repeatedly sent us pictures of how they were doing, which is comforting as it was their first visit with her. We did a meet and greet beforehand which was also very reassuring!”
“Stay was awesome. They were super welcoming, accommodating, and were amazing with my puppy. She loved being there for the weekend and I loved the updates I got knowing she was ok. I love talking to them about better ways to train my pup and they are a great sounding board for a new puppy owner like me. I can't recommend them enough!”
“We boarded our dog Lucas with Paola for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Paola kept us updated throughout the stay by sending us regular pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Lucas looked like he was having a blast—playing with the other dogs and enjoying his time. It’s clear that Paola truly cares for the dogs she watches. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter!”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”
“Nicole was an ideal host. She and her husband had their home all set up to manage all the dogs they were looking after. That's dedication in my book. I will definitely keep her at the top of my list the next time I need someone to look after my dog.”
“Erica, again, took wonderful care of Sully. He comes home happy, tired from romping with his friends and no whining. He ate well, also. We will continue to use Erica’s sitting service whenever she is available. Thank you!”
