About: I’m not doing this as a side hobby—I live this every day with my own pets. I understand behavior, energy levels, and how to keep animals calm, happy, and cared for. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, respected, and spoiled (in the best way). Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to handle feedings, walks, and playtime consistently while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard and my 3 dogs play well with others,I also have 2 cats but they stay in one part of the house and usually let the digs do thsir own thing.
“Tina is absolutely amazing! She took great care of the babies and sent so many pictures/videos. I greatly appreciate her looking after my babies and giving them so much love ❤️”
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep experience with dogs of every temperament, especially those with special behavioral or emotional needs. Unlike sitters who only know "easy" dogs, I have spent my life caring for a wide spectrum of rescues, from fearful and anxious to hyperactive and aggressive personalities. I treat every dog as an individual, and I have a proven ability to connect, communicate, and build trust with all of them. I've successfully managed daily medication schedules and provided attentive care for senior pets and energetic puppies alike. My friends and family jokingly call me "The Dog Whisperer" because I bring a unique blend of patience, calm energy, and deep love to every interaction. This means that whether your pet is shy, a little reactive, or just needs constant attention, you can rest assured they are with a caregiver who understands them. Pet care is not a side job, it is part of my daily routine and a priority. I am a stay-at-home dad, so I can structure my day to ensure maximum availability and dedicated time with every dog. I have a large fenced yard and a four-year-old Basset Hound who loves to meet and play with new friends. I am also the father of two elementary-aged kids who will give your pet all the love they could ever hope for.
“Fallon was great! She checked on the cats early in the day and sent pictures of them daily while we were away. She also brought in our mail. She was very pleasant when we met in person. I would not hesitate to ask her watch out cats again :)”
“Rebecca is great with animals. She shows up professionally and with genuine care for her work. If you're in need of pet care, particularly if you have larger dogs, Rebecca will not disappoint. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Rebecca.”
“Sierra is the cat whisperer! I was surprised that my cat, Silvermist, was comfortable to be around her! Silvermist tended to hide from any petsitters or visitors. Sierra was very kind to my 18 years old cat!! I would have her again in the future!!”
“Nick was great with our kitten. He paid extra attention to Tommy and all the photos showed that he appeared to be well fed and very happy in Nick’s company. I would highly recommend Nick as a sitter and we will hire him again in the future.”
“Leah was a great communicator and made me feel comfortable leaving my pets! She made sure to send some photos after every drop in and even brought in my mail for me! I will definitely be using Leah again”
“Morgan was awesome! It was obvious from first meeting that she has a special connection with cats. She was very responsive and we loved getting the daily updates with photos.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've been dog sitting for over 13 years so I’ve had the privilege of watching many of my repeat sits grow old gracefully. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need lots of play, patience, and potty breaks, to sweet seniors who need a little extra attention and a slower pace. I’ve also attended dog grooming school, so I’m comfortable handling different breeds, temperaments, and care needs, including administering medication when needed. Most of all, I genuinely love making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched. They get to be part of the family. My schedule is very flexible. I work from home, so I'm available every day of the week to pay lots of attention to your fur babies. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where your dog can let out their zoomies, sniff, play, or just enjoy the sunshine with me. I have puppy proofed rooms with hidden cords(they love those!) I know most dogs live life through their noses so I make sure the floors are exceptionally clean and free of crumbs. I love seeing dogs off leash in dog parks but I have a strict leash-only policy when walking. Your baby is allowed on the couch to get all the belly rubs and baby voices! In your home and mine I'm excellent with following feeding schedules, medication and dosage, potty routines, walk preferences, and any other structure/rules you have so their normal rhythm doesn’t disappear.
“Ari is great! My puppy is always happy to spend the day with her, and returns home happy and tired. Ari plays with her and provides my puppy with the mental stimulation she needs! People at work have told me that they noticed my puppy is better behaved since she started daycare with Ari too! I definitely recommend her 👌”

About: Hello! My name is Katherine and I am looking to care for your pet when you need help. I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. I have years of experience volunteering at humane societies which has exposed me to multiple different types of animals and behaviors. I also worked at a professional animal boarding and grooming facility. My family and I have owned different types of dogs over time. I am energetic and love spending time outdoors. Walks/runs would definitely be included while caring for your dog. I am home most of the time, as I work as an RN on the weekends. My husband works from home, so someone is always around. I look forward to having an extra furry friend around to play, cuddle, care for, and hangout with! Dogs will spend time indoor and out as weather allows. Unlimited playtime. If your dogs requires a more specialized routine just let me know so I can be accommodating. I have a large, fenced yard and covered back deck to lounge on dog beds. Dogs will be inside the home overnight and during inclement weather. I have a large dog crate if your pet does better in a crate overnight. Feel free to bring any of your pets comfort items!
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to one-on-one attention. Unlike boarding facilities where care is divided among many animals, I focus exclusively on your pet in the environment where they feel safest. I excel at maintaining their exact routine to minimize stress and prevent the anxiety that often comes with travel or unfamiliar settings. I prioritize safety and household security. Beyond caring for your pet, I provide an extra layer of home security by being a regular presence while you're away. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and following all 'house rules' strictly to ensure both your pet and your property are respected and secure. My daily routine is built around staying active and being outdoors. I dedicate my mid-morning and lunch hours specifically to dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I don't host pets in my own home, my full attention is on your pet during our scheduled time. I thrive on providing structured exercise and can easily adapt to your pet's preferred walking routes and energy levels to ensure they get the midday break they need. During 30 or 60-minute drop-in visits, I focus on high-quality engagement, including interactive play, backyard potty breaks, and refreshing food and water. For walks, I follow your preferred neighborhood routes to ensure your dog gets the specific exercise and mental stimulation they need. After every visit, I’ll send a Rover Card with photos and a detailed update so you know exactly how they’re doing.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, a kind of unconditional love and acceptance that feels safe and comforting. That passion shaped my approach to pet care. I worked towards a career that focuses on caring for wildlife and animals as a whole. My experience includes volunteering at shelters and humane societies, where I walked, socialized, and bathed dogs, as well as cared for puppies and their mothers. I A unique part of my background includes working as a “goat whisperer” at a goat yoga farm, giving me experience with a variety of animals. So not only can I wrap your pup in loving energy, but I can take care of your Kid too! As a recent college graduate, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends, which allows me to be fully available for your pet’s needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my household, I care for an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, which has given me experience with high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs.

I’ve had cats, dogs and everything in between and love spending time with all animals. 🐾💗 I’m available any day of the week! I update my calendar daily and can usually accommodate last minute bookings. I recommend reaching out in advance if you need constant care house sitting so I can block off my availability for drop ins and walks and ensure the sit won’t conflict with my work schedule. Building trust and a sense of security with your pet is my #1 priority. Dogs and cats alike will quickly realize that I’m here to be their longtime friend, not just a sitter! I make sure to pay special attention to body language, likes/dislikes, and follow their everyday routine closely so that they feel comfortable and really enjoy their time with me. Each animal has a unique personality that I will put time into understanding and I can adapt to meet their specific needs. I have experience administering both oral and injected medications and am familiar with most allergies/dietary restrictions. For all bookings, detailed updates and photos are guaranteed. I want you to see the love that I have for your pets in real time! Building trust with you is just as important to me as the relationship that I'll build with your animals. Expect to come back to a clean home and happy pups!
“Chantal was wonderful! She walked our 3 dogs daily while we were out of town during the 4th of July. She even went so far as to make sure that they were safe during the night that fireworks went off. I will definitely ask her to help us in the near future!”
“Sydney is fun, professional and reliable. She even came a little early twice when I was worried about my dog. She was even on standby when I was in the hospital and was afraid I might need back-up for the person taking care of my dog at the time She was sweet to my little dog Harris and I would definitely consider having her board at him her place sometime.”
About: I am very attentive, therefore I am able to sense what the dog needs. I believe taking care of dogs provides just as much therapy for them as it does us. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I run an online business so I am able to best schedule myself for the sittings and walks. I offer house calls so I will move in accordance to the homeowners rules and use discernment on the proper places the dog is able to go. I also make sure to maintain proper hygiene and hand cleanliness.

“Erin was fantastic! She sent multiple pictures throughout our dog’s stay and kept us updated on how our girl was doing. Highly recommend, great service for a great price!!”
“Dana was so great with them , checked in everyday to show their adjustment. Which also gave me comfort in knowing they were well taken care of , Will book with her again , thank you !”
“Martha took great care of our 10 years old golden retrieve Coco while we were on a 10-day vacation. We received a lot of photos. Thanks a lot! We sure will ask her help again when we plan another vacation in the future !”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've been dog sitting for over 13 years so I’ve had the privilege of watching many of my repeat sits grow old gracefully. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need lots of play, patience, and potty breaks, to sweet seniors who need a little extra attention and a slower pace. I’ve also attended dog grooming school, so I’m comfortable handling different breeds, temperaments, and care needs, including administering medication when needed. Most of all, I genuinely love making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched. They get to be part of the family. My schedule is very flexible. I work from home, so I'm available every day of the week to pay lots of attention to your fur babies. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where your dog can let out their zoomies, sniff, play, or just enjoy the sunshine with me. I have puppy proofed rooms with hidden cords(they love those!) I know most dogs live life through their noses so I make sure the floors are exceptionally clean and free of crumbs. I love seeing dogs off leash in dog parks but I have a strict leash-only policy when walking. Your baby is allowed on the couch to get all the belly rubs and baby voices! In your home and mine I'm excellent with following feeding schedules, medication and dosage, potty routines, walk preferences, and any other structure/rules you have so their normal rhythm doesn’t disappear.
“Chris is great and so reliable for watching my pup! She’s always well taken care of with walks and feedings, and it’s great that she gets along well with his dog too!”
“Our 3 dogs were so happy at Patti’s farm! She asked a lot of questions about how she could meet each of the pup’s needs individually. You can tell she is a dog lover. We really appreciated the pictures and videos she sent while we were away. We will definitely be using her again.”
“My dogs had a great time with Arnol and his family. I was worry for leaving my pets for a week but they felt right at home and Arnol kept me on the loop and send photos frequently. I would recommend him 100%”
“Janii is always amazing, I have booked with her twice now and will do so again. My dog absolutely loves her, and she creates such a comforting and attentive space for my fur baby! She makes sure that my pup is comfy and gets all the rubs that she wants, and as an owner, she always reassures me that everything is great and handled. She makes traveling a breeze!”
“Skye was absolutely amazing while we were away for almost two weeks! She kept us completely at ease by sending daily updates, messages, and lots of pictures of Tyson, which meant so much to us. It’s not easy for me to trust anyone with Tyson, but with Skye, I had total peace of mind. She truly goes above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely cares. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely continue using her services. Highly recommend! We appreciate you Skye! See you soon! :)”
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to one-on-one attention. Unlike boarding facilities where care is divided among many animals, I focus exclusively on your pet in the environment where they feel safest. I excel at maintaining their exact routine to minimize stress and prevent the anxiety that often comes with travel or unfamiliar settings. I prioritize safety and household security. Beyond caring for your pet, I provide an extra layer of home security by being a regular presence while you're away. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and following all 'house rules' strictly to ensure both your pet and your property are respected and secure. My daily routine is built around staying active and being outdoors. I dedicate my mid-morning and lunch hours specifically to dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I don't host pets in my own home, my full attention is on your pet during our scheduled time. I thrive on providing structured exercise and can easily adapt to your pet's preferred walking routes and energy levels to ensure they get the midday break they need. During 30 or 60-minute drop-in visits, I focus on high-quality engagement, including interactive play, backyard potty breaks, and refreshing food and water. For walks, I follow your preferred neighborhood routes to ensure your dog gets the specific exercise and mental stimulation they need. After every visit, I’ll send a Rover Card with photos and a detailed update so you know exactly how they’re doing.
“We think she is an absolute delight to speak with and our Finley loves her. Her reassurance with photos was so sweet and thoughtful. We look forward in using her in the future with our fur family.”
