“Senne took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent me updates and photos frequently which was nice! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome dog sitter!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Milly. She was very happy when we picked her up and I could tell she had been well taken care of while we were away. Appreciate all of the pictures and communication while we traveled.”
“Tracey and her mother, Yuet, are great boarders. I was new to Rover and they were very responsive, advised me on what to pack and sent several pictures every day. Our dog was treated as their own pet with access to their home. Ozzie had fun with playing with their small dog. Their set up has a dedicated space indoor & outdoor to play and potty. I would definitely hire them again as I didn't have to worry at all. Thanks Tracey!”
“Jacque took care of our dog Kanani when we had our house fumigated for termites. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Kanani with her. Jacque and her daughter Lexi are very loving and caring. She sent us pictures of Kanani throughout her stay there. Kanani looked very comfortable and happy. I even joked that maybe Kanani wouldn't want to come back home. I highly recommend Jacque if you need to board your pet.”
“Diana was AWESOME!! Fantastic communication from initial inquiry, meet-up, drop-off and throughout our trip. Kept us updated with messages and pictures every day. Her home was great with lots of space indoors and out. Fenced yard and air conditioning inside were both BIG pluses! Our corgi was well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Samantha was great in sending pictures of our fur baby often! It was challenging to leave her, she has separation anxiety and seizures but on medication to control them. Henny felt loved and we definitely felt she was being cherished and well taken care of! We will definitely use her again!”
“I can’t recommend Ayla enough. She was caring and attentive throughout, and it was clear my dog was in great hands. She took Peaches on small adventures every day and sent plenty of updates, so I never had to wonder how she was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and will absolutely book her again.”
“Daisy is amazing. We have peace of mind when leaving our dog Chloe with her. It’s our 2nd time and we will continue to only book her for future dog sitting. She’s friendly, shares pictures, and has great communication. Thank you so much for taking care of Chloe!”
“Catalina is a great communicator and care taker. My pet had a good time at her home and was happy when I picked him up. I would gladly utilize her Rover services again!”
“We have been using Daylin now for a while. She is so sweet with our dog, Winnie. Winnie loves going there and she’s treated like a little princess. Love giving her updates and the fact that they go on walks together. I totally recommend using Daylin for your next Pet sitter”
About: Throughout college I cared for many dogs for family, friends, and as a side gig. I am experienced in dog walking, feeding, oral medication administration, and light grooming. I always enjoy sending pictures of your pet to show what a great time we are having! As a stay at home mom, I have great flexibility. I would also like to share that I have two friendly dogs that are kennel and potty trained in our home and a two year old daughter. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and do light care during the day. As for overnight care, we have two dogs that love pet friends as long as they are friendly and get along with others. We typically go to an on-leash park in the evenings and do outings on weekend mornings. We have two small, friendly dogs and a toddler that will keep your dog more than entertained! We have a small outdoor area for on-leash play and are a three minute drive to a big park/field where we have a good dog community. We want your dog to feel comfortable and happy during their stay so the first 24 hours is just about learning about your dog and gaining their trust!
About: I’ve always loved dogs well all animals in general! I’ve been fostering a lot lately from dogs all the way to rabbits! I’m an adoptions coordinator at a rabbit rescue, and I love talking to people and making a difference in the animals' lives. Fostering is awesome because I’m around a bunch of different personalities and each foster or dog that comes into my home is important to me and I treat them like my own. My schedule is pretty open I work part time 😊 and especially weekends I’ll be free! I only work 2 days a week and will be able to come home during lunch to play with doggie as my job is fairly close to my apartment! I will care for pets in your home by respecting the house first and foremost , making sure that the animal has everything that is needed. & putting doggie out of dangerous situations and following rules from the family!
“Charlene was super flexible and communicative, she sent pictures of our dog at her place. Our dog seemed comfortable and happy to be with her. We plan to use Charlene again!!!”
“I would highly recommend Emma to other dog owners. Her personality n home felt so welcoming. I’m also happy Bodee found a furry friend he could play with. Thank you Emma?? I will definitely call on you to sir Bodee!!”
“Haily and Benjamin were amazing sitters! I felt completely at ease while we were away. Everything was very smooth and easy from meet and greet to booking. Pick up and drop off was also great with no issues! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup! I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Angie took great care of our dog, Koa, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Brianda was AMAZING with my dog. She opened him up to her home and family and treated him like her own dog. She provided daily pictures and updates, I would leave Enzo with her anytime!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was 4 years old and was responsible for all of their needs - feeding, brushing, nail clipping, litter cleaning, and of course playing and cuddling. I cared for them through their old age providing medication, physical therapy exercises, and inserting IV drips. I’ve also been my friends’ dog sitter (funcle) over the past 6 years, giving them all the walks, pets, attention, and playtime they need while their parents are away. I currently work full-time from home and can give all the attention to your pets’ throughout the work hours of the weekdays! I like to be active after work and weekends, and can take your pups out for runs or hikes, or we could lounge and chill if that’s what they need. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s pet friendly. We have no pets at home right now so I’ll be around to give full attention to your pet!
“Had a Great experience with Darby and penny! She sent me lots of updates with photos and was really helpful. My dog came back happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend to any pet owner looking for a sweet home to stay.”

“Another week of daily visits went down smoothly with the fantastic Lyndi😇 I used two other sitters on occasions when Lyndi wasn't available and both had me constantly worried and frustrated from thousands of miles away. There is literally no one else I'd trust to leave our fur babies with at this point!”
“Jamie was such a great kitty-sitter!!! She followed all the instructions, and loved up on them, so I knew my kitties were in good hands! It is the first time I hired someone to come into my home, so I was a little nervous. But Jamie exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!”
“Sydney is an absolute gem and I sincerely feel grateful for the time, care and Aloha she provided to my Cats while I was away. I recently booked visits for 9 days and she sent me daily pictures and detailed updates which brought me peace of mind during my travels. I came back to a clean home and 2 very happy and relaxed kitties who had been in pristine hands during my absence. They both love to spend time and play with Sydney! I could not recommend Sydney more and I will definitely rebook her services!”
“Liana and Wilbur are so amazing! Our cats can be very weary of new folks, yet they were able to make them feel comfortable in such a short time! They make a great effort every visit to make sure the cats get played with, fed, water, litter, and are completely taken care of and loved!”
“Claudia was absolutely wonderful! She dropped in with our cat for 3 days and had great communication, friendliness, and lots of experience. I would happily trust her to look after him again! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone attentive and engaged with both you and your pet :)”
About: I have my own kitty who is my pride and joy! I love the different personalities each cat has, I can read cats pretty well and take pride in providing the care each individual cat may need. I understand that an independent cat might not want the cuddles and love of another cat and that each cats needs are different! I have experience administering medications, following dietary instructions, and I look forward to providing your cat with their stable routine while you are away!
About: I have taken care of all different breeds of cats since I was 10 years old. I clean litter boxes frequently, give medication and make sure they are well taken care of and loved.
“Ayla was an amazing sitter for my cat! She took excellent care of him (which at the moment is challenging due to some health issues my kitty is suffering). She was a great communicator and always made sure I had updates with out even having to ask. 10/10 recommend her!”
“Darby went ABOVE and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for and well loved, changing their litter when we ran into some issues and going back an extra time when their auto feeder ran out. They also were so much more comfortable because of her which I appreciate more than anything!! She’s such a gem!”
“Kristie was great and handled my puppy like a pro! He was reluctant to get back in his crate but she took great care of him and made sure he was secure until I got home. I highly recommend her services.”
“I have zero complaints. All the reviews about Josh are accurate and true. I found him to be kind, respectful, enthusiastic and treated my cat with the utmost of care. Check in reports were detailed with great pictures. Glad to have found him!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for cats for most of my life. I got my first cat when I was four and grew up caring for her until she passed away. I also helped care for my brother’s cat while we lived together. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats attention while also respecting when they prefer their own space. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals!

I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself.

I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)! I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!
About: Hi there I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and engaged. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible until you’re home again.

“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”
“Thank you for taking care of my baby even though it was a short time request! Daisy and her boyfriend were very responsible and had smooth communications. I highly recommend them and definitely I will book them again.”
About: I have personally raised and trained both of our family dogs. Friends and family frequently rely on me for pet sitting, training, and even advice! I have helped in multiple animal shelters and just love being around animals! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur family. I do a lot of outdoor activities and do not mind bringing them along for the ride! College student who has lots of time and experience! Sadly can’t host any furry friends in the dorm, but happy to stop by any time!
About: My pups are my heart and my life! 💖 They are the center of my world, and like many of us pet parents, I take care of my sweet babies better than I care for myself. My husband and I have had our little Marshmallow for 12 wonderful years and counting! For six amazing years, we also had our sweet CocoBear, whom we adopted as a senior with multiple health issues requiring special care. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge, but she is still loved, missed, and cherished by us every single day. Now that it’s just Marshmallow, she’d love some company! She’s super friendly and gets along very well with other doggies! 😊 Although I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for pets! I've been dog-sitting for over 12 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to dogs, I’ve had hamsters, rabbits, and birds throughout my life, and I’m also a very proud cat auntie! 🥰 I have very high standards when it comes to caring for my own babies, and I treat any pup in my care as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your baby with someone else, so making both you and your pup feel comfortable and at ease is incredibly important to me. I’ll make sure your baby feels safe, happy, loved, spoiled, and right at home! I also love sending pet parents lots of photos and videos because I know just how much you’ll be missing them. 💖 As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to give your pup constant attention, companionship, cuddles, and care. I have tons of love to give, and I’d love to shower your baby with all the love and affection in my heart! An added bonus: my husband also has a very flexible schedule and is home much of the time, so that’s double the TLC! Your baby will be petted and pampered and treated like the precious gem that they are! 🥹 I take so much pride in providing the best care, and I can’t wait to treat your baby (or babies) to a fun vacation and a warm, loving home away from home while you’re away! 🥰 I am a stay at home dog mama, so your baby will have all my time and attention! Additionally, my husband has a flexible schedule, so that’s double the love your baby (or babies) will receive! 💕🐶 My husband, pup, and I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. We have a lanai where we have fresh sod that dogs can use for going potty any time they need in addition to their daily walks! Dogs are allowed on our furniture and our bed - everywhere! I am very flexible and can adapt to whatever your dog’s needs are.
“Naudia was key in making our Oahu vacation a truly memorable one. We flew with our pups to Oahu to celebrate a cousin's birthday. Not only did we get to see the island with them, but we also got to do adult activities as they stayed with Naudia. She was very responsive & even gave Charlotte some pumpkin to help her upset tummy. Book with her - she will surely take care of your pups!”

“Sofia is excellent! She connected with Kobe instantly and has a beautiful space and park to walk them in. I highly recommended her! Thank you Sofia! 🙏🏽”
“My dog wasn't feeling well whenever he got the opportunity to stay with Kurry, but she made me feel like I was right there with him. I had a plethora of pictures, lots of updates, and a reassurance that Kurry truly loved and cared for my child. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone who values your animals as much as you do.”

As I'm currently in the process of preparing for my upcoming studies, I am seeking a meanwhile job that aligns with my passion for pets. Caring for animals brings me a sense of fulfillment and allows me to make a positive impact in their lives while also earning some income to support my academic pursuits. I am committed to providing exceptional pet care, ensuring their well-being, and creating a loving environment that will put pet owners' minds at ease while they are away. This experience will not only be beneficial for the pets but also serve as a rewarding and enriching experience for me during this transitional phase. At my home, caring for pets is a top priority and a labor of love. Every furry friend receives personalized attention and a safe, comfortable environment. From the moment they step through the door, I ensure they feel welcomed and at ease. Regular exercise and engaging playtime are provided to keep them happy and healthy. Hygiene is maintained with regular potty breaks. Additionally, ample cuddle and snuggle time are offered to create a bond and provide reassurance. Safety measures are strictly adhered to, such as secure fencing and pet-friendly spaces. I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with affection, care, and attention to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free.
“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”
“Annie is absolutely great! Pancho loved her. She has taken care of him twice so far and he had the best time with her. She ensured he remains active, and she kept us updated with pics. She is very attentive and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. We are definitely booking her again!”
About: I recently lost my senior babie due to old age. I'm wanting to fill that spot by helping others with their fur babies. I have no other animals at home. I'm good with large dogs. My babie was dog averse so very good with dogs who need a little extra patience on walks, etc... I've sat small and medium dogs. I've sat several cats. I can issue meds as needed. Well rounded in senior care. Looking to love and care for those that don't want to be boarded or are most comfy at home. I work full time 7-4pm. I can visits prior and after work. If you're close enough to down town, I may be able to coordinate a lunch check up. I'm free in the evenings after 430pm. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so there is full time care available those days as well as most Saturdays and Sundays. I am now a pet free home. I have a small yard at my apartment that has gates on either side. I have an easy walking neighborhood with lots of potty spots. I've walked large dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. I've not walked a cat yet, but willing to try. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. My apartment has inside cameras for viewing when I'm at work. Please reach out with any questions at all.

With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve!

“Maple was great, we’d definitely love for her to watch our pup Lovely again. Maple accepted our last-minute request, and responded quickly. Then, during Lovely’s day with Maple, Maple sent lots of updates, with pictures and videos. Lovely is shy around new people, but Maple was patient with her and let her take the lead on what she was comfortable with. For example, Lovely was shy to go in the house at first, so Maple set her up on a long-line on the deck and kept the door open so Lovely could go inside whenever she was ready. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so grateful to have found Maple!”

Experience with larger bully breeds and high energy breeds (e.g., German Shepherd, Malinois, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Husky, Rottweiler, Pit Bulls, etc.). I am a calm, confident dog handler with a soft spot for larger bully breeds, but have experience with all kinds of dogs. I've raised three puppies and have rehabilitated abused malinois and pit bulls with fear and aggression issues. Comfortable around all dogs, with a patient and loving demeanor.

We are very active and explore the island regularly, be it hiking, swimming or romping around the dog park. Love staying active and bringing along four legged friends for the adventure. My pets are my babies and they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day, as will yours! If I'm home, my pets are my shadow (including using me as a human cushion when I'm relaxing on the couch ha) and if I have to leave, it's never for more than 4hrs. I usually leave to adventure with my dog, which means hiking, swimming or dog park activities. Your dog will get the same love, affection and exercise as my own gets and will be treated as family. We have a small fenced yard for frequent potty breaks and go on daily sniffari walks.
“Mahalo to Diana for watching our pup on a short notice. She was extremely accommodating., meet and greet plus the pick up and drop off was super easy. Appreciate her taking care of our pup and taking him to the park for some playtime with another doodle. Videos, photos and text message updates were highly appreciated.”

“Kristie is the best! She is super responsive, always gets back to me about walking my dog really quickly, and she is very reliable. I often have last minute needs for dog walking due to my work schedule, she is always really flexible and willing to confirm last minute requests. My dog is extra nervous too, but he does great with her. She was so patient getting to know him and ensured he got the best care. It is always a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. I will keep using her walking service as long as she is available! Thanks so much Kristie, me and Louie appreciate you and all your time! (:”
“A+++ care, had an emergency trip I needed to take last minute and Maple did an amazing job on such short notice. She went above and beyond in making sure they were comfotable and well taken care of while I was gone and even through the crazy storms this past week. Would recommend to anyone needing services for their pets. Thanks for everything!”

I also know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. That’s why I make communication a priority. I’ll keep you updated, send photos, and let you know how your pet is doing so you never feel out of the loop. My goal is for you to be able to relax with peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. I'm self employed which gives me to free time needed to be able to pour my time into your pets as well as mine! I am a student as well but have a flexible class schedule! I try to get an idea of the animals routine so I can keep some normalcy in said routine while you are away! I want to make sure that the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of so I'll take the extra time to play, cuddle or just give some human company depending on your pets personality and preferences:)
“Malia was professional, punctual and communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend her! We’ll certainly be using her services again! Thank you Malia for caring for our dog, Rio.”
About: From sneaking in strays as a kid and providing food, shelter, and love for them like they were my own to working alongside military working dogs during my time in service, showing our furry four legged friends that they matter has always been important to me. I am currently available M-F 7 AM-7PM for scheduled walks, house sitting, and even a chauffeur for things such as grooming appointments that just don’t work with your busy schedule. Whatever your furry friend needs, I will provide! Special diet, no problem! Medications or exercise regiments, I’ve got you covered! Showers of nose boops and extra belly rubs, is basically a package deal with me! Pets should be treated as family, and that’s exactly what I plan to do every time, with love!
About: I've been around animals since I was young so caring for them has always come naturally for me. I genuinely take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and am super patience with those that might need extra bit of attention or care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. Friends and family usually reach out to me in regards to taking care of their pets because of how much I enjoy spending time around animals, but also the level of care, patience, and love I provide. I'm excited to hopefully do the same with you! I'm currently an active Marine, however my current schedule is very flexible. I work a typical 8-4, and I'm 100% free on the weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and keep their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important trust is when someone is allowing me to care for their pet and enter their home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with respect. I pay close attention to a pet's behavior and surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and communicate with owners so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals! I really don’t have special skills other than playing the ukulele for them and spending quality time :) Aloha! My name is Kapono. I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself. I have a 9-year-old Fox Terrier Mix and my previous dog that I owned I took care of until she passed away at 15. I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)! I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!
About: I have personally raised and trained both of our family dogs. Friends and family frequently rely on me for pet sitting, training, and even advice! I have helped in multiple animal shelters and just love being around animals! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur family. I do a lot of outdoor activities and do not mind bringing them along for the ride! College student who has lots of time and experience! Sadly can’t host any furry friends in the dorm, but happy to stop by any time!
About: I have always loved animals and grew up with sisters who train police dogs, service dogs, big and small dogs as well as my own dog. I love dogs and have been with them since I was a kid. I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.
“Aaron has started helping us with dog walks recently and he is totally reliable, his personality is a great fit for our big sometimes described dog. Looking forward to working with Aaron more with our dog care needs.”
About: I have a deep love and appreciation for animals, especially both dogs and cats. I currently care for two cats I rescued since they were kittens! I have been a loving caregiver for my guinea pig pet for 6 years prior with much love and dedication as well as taking care of friends’ dogs. As for my skills, animals tend to feel calm and relaxed around me & I have experience with grooming, walking, and feeding animals. I am responsible, diligent, punctual, caring, and patient. I love spending time outdoors in nature with animals. I enjoy the company of dogs and cats as well as playing with them. I am available in the daytime with a flexible schedule between 6am and 11am. Depending on your dogs physical activity range or exercising needs, I can customize the walk to be more active or more relaxed for them. I can walk your dog to Central Park depending on the distance or their favorite nearby park. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a flexible availability to care for your pet as needed, including house-sitting. With 1 week advance notice, I can accommodate to meet the care days you're looking for. I easily adapt to what your pet needs and actively focus on ensuring they have the best experience by starting with the basics of care such as having food, water, and toys available. I monitor their energy levels to see how they're doing and when they are ready for a walk or playtime, with a fresh water refill right after!

About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was 4 years old and was responsible for all of their needs - feeding, brushing, nail clipping, litter cleaning, and of course playing and cuddling. I cared for them through their old age providing medication, physical therapy exercises, and inserting IV drips. I’ve also been my friends’ dog sitter (funcle) over the past 6 years, giving them all the walks, pets, attention, and playtime they need while their parents are away. I currently work full-time from home and can give all the attention to your pets’ throughout the work hours of the weekdays! I like to be active after work and weekends, and can take your pups out for runs or hikes, or we could lounge and chill if that’s what they need. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s pet friendly. We have no pets at home right now so I’ll be around to give full attention to your pet!
