“The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!”
“I am very pleased with Tanya's care and attention. She provides a CLEAN place and a space where your pet would be comfortable. She's communicative and her price point is very justifiable as she provides top care. She's by far the best! Would highly recommend.”
“Theresa was so kind and loving to our dog! We appreciated the pictures she sent us and daily updates. So happy to have found a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our dog!”
“Jacqueline took such great care of our dog while we were out of town. She and her family treated our dog as if he was their own. We couldn't be happier with Jacqueline. She's the best! ❤️”
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
“We were nervous about leaving Winston with a sitter as he generally has only been left with family in his own home previously. We need not have worried. Angelina was just the best. From a pre-board meet and greet at her home to meeting her other dogs we were at ease before he went there and when we dropped him off he was so happy and content. She introduced him slowly to her other dogs so he wasn't overwhelmed and he had the time of his life. Her house is beautifully set up to look after pets. The regular photos and videos not only put our mind at rest but showed him socializing and playing with others and just generally having a good time. I have no hesitation in recommending Angelina in looking after any of your precious pets.”
“Mary was the best! She took such good care of my Lucy. Made her feel loved and comfortable. It is so comforting to know that my Lucy was so happy with Mary! I will definitely be looking to Mary to watch her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young. Other than always having a dog of my own, I’ve taken care of pets of family, friends, and neighbors. This past year has really been the first time I’ve been without a pet. My daughter and I have a lot of love and attention to give any furry friend. I have early mornings and late afternoon-evening open Monday-Friday open and most weekends are completely open. Holiday time will have more availability with my Thanksgiving and winter break. I have a pretty big yard and a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks. I plan to do my best to make sure your pet feels as at home as possible when in my care.
“Lashay was wonderful! Her home is warm, clean, and loving, and she took great care of our dog. She sent pictures almost every day we were traveling, and then was very flexible and understanding when we had to change our pickup time.”
“Frida was an absolutely phenomenal sitter and so sweet and loving to our dog Blaike. She treated her with warmth, kindness, and patience. Her dogs were loving and playful with our dog and welcomed her with open paws! Frida provided many updates with pictures and videos and let us know how thoroughly she was being cared for and enjoying her stay. Frida truly treats your dog like family and I highly recommend her as your sitter! We will absolutely be booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much Frida!!”
“Maiah was awesome. She was super responsive and sent us pictures of our dogs while they stayed with her. She took them for walks even though has a big fenced in yard for them to play. I definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job with our dogs. We greatly appreciate her accepting our SUPER last minute booking. She sent frequent updates with how our dogs were doing. They returned home happy and relaxed. She treated our dog like her own. We would definitely plan to rebook with Samantha on our next trip with not such a last minute request.”
“Lauren and her family were great! She was so flexible and paid attention to all the details. My dog came back happy and tired from having fun! We will be back next time we’re in the area needing a sitter!”
About: I have worked in vet med for almost 3 years now. I started work as a kennel technician and I am now currently a veterinary assistant. I have pet sat my family and friends pets throughout the years. My one pup at home is a special needs puppy so I have some special need care as well. My schedule has opened up recently and I would love the opportunity to be able to watch/care for pups. I am available in the afternoon/evenings on weekdays and I am free on the weekends as well. I have two very friendly dogs who could keep your furry friend company. I also have crates and play pens in home too for separation if needed.
About: I grew up with different types of pets. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets when they need it. My job is pretty flexible with my hours. I am home on the evenings. And all day on the weekends. I will gladly give your fur baby lots of love. My pets are really friendly and will most definitely keep your pet good company. There's a dog park down the street from my house and my pets love it. I will gladly bring your fur baby along to have a good time!
“Ella was very attentive and very communicative in 3 years I’ve never been away from my baby more than a couple hours and she made the entire experience great for us and our puppy girl”
“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”
“Jonna took AMAZING care of our Blaike. Her and her family were gentle, attentive, caring, loving, and kind to her. They helped ease her anxiety, made sure she was always comfortable and secure, and gave her so much love, rubs, and affection. They truly treated her like a member of the family. We will absolutely be utilizing her Boarding services for our next trip, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Thank you so much Jonna!!😊❤️❤️❤️”

“Great sitter! Really appreciated her coming by and meeting Luna before I had to leave town. She took good care of Luna even though Luna is a moody cat. She was receptive to any concerns I had.”
“Jaymee went above and beyond for my cats. The level of care and patience, especially for my more skittish cat, gave me such peace of mind while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about pets and their unique personalities.”
“Kayla did a great job watching over our cats while we were on vacation. We felt at ease with the attention she gave them. She spent time playing with them, sending pictures, and even checking the mail. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Such a comfort to see how happy our babies were and well taken care of! Joyce is a cat whisperer. We have a diabetic cat who received insulin and everything went well and another sweet girl who is usually very shy and can be unpredictable as far as how playful she can be (sometimes play bites and scratches) but immediately cuddled up to Joyce and was very talkative and looked so happy with her pets. We loved seeing the photos and videos every day. Thank you so much!!!!”
“Thank you so much Charley for taking such good care of everything while we were gone. It is such a comfort to feel like everything is in good hands, I always worry about leaving my animals behind, this time I felt at ease. Thanks, Vicki L.”
“Petrea was very efficient and Sweeeet. I’d never been away longer than a day with my kitty. This was a week and she was played with and fed well and got better every day with her fear. Pictures were sent to me every day. Came home to a healthy baby. Thank you Petrea. I’ll use her again for sure!”
“We had Brandi watch our two Maine Coon cats while we were in California. These cats are my babies and so I left Brandi 3 pages of instructions on feeding etc. Brandi sent photos of my babies while we were gone and slept at our house. My cats were extremely well cared for in her care. We will definitely use Brandi when we have another trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of some family members’ cats in the past! They’ve definitely had a range of personalities from clingy and low energy to high energy and playful and even to elusive outdoor cats. I love all of them!
“Karen was great with our old man cat. He's a bit shy but loves attention and so it was nice to see that he warmed up to her quickly. She was responsive, caring, and took care of all the cat's needs without ever missing a step. We'll definitely rebook if we're traveling out of town again in the future!”
“Amanda was excellent with my kitties again. Her attention to all the details of the house while she was present is amazing. She has continuously provided top notch service going above and beyond just taking care of the kitties, with keeping an eye on the house as a whole.”
“Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I really appreciated all of Tanya's help with my pets. She's reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. I can see why she's so highly recommended...I will definitely book her again!”
“Amanda was great! She made dailey visits to feed our bearded dragon and our three cats. They were all very happy and well cared for, as well as our plants which she watered for us too!”
“Taylor was the best cat sitter we have ever had, she took very good care of Luna and made him feel comfortable with her and her cat and her husband because Luna doesn’t really like men but got along with him. Taylor is a great communicator, she gives you daily updates on how your fur baby is doing with pictures and everything. Needless to say we never had to worry for a second about Luna and we will most definitely have her watch Luna again.”

“OMG OMG!!! this lady is the BOMB… my mom got sick in icu (she passed away) but it was too much for my service dog in the icu so I reached out to her and she was AMAZING! Last minute sit and she jumped at the chance. I felt so good leaving my best friend in her care and I left my dog with NO one before. The love the care the pictures she sent me. BOOK HER NOW you won’t regret it! I felt so relaxed knowing my best friend was in great hands that I could relax and spend the last few days with my mom!!! THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU!!!”
“Theresa was very nice and very accommodating. She sent pictures of our Goshi and I am sure Goshi had a great time as he was all pooped out when we got home. Thank you Theresa for taking care of Goshi!”
“Chris and Dan are wonderful people that treated my GSD like their own. It was a blessing to find them. My dog had a great time running around the yard playing with the other dog. She fell asleep as soon as we got home.”
About: Hi there! My name is Angelina, and I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a passion for caring for cats and dogs of all ages. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of our furry friends. I have worked with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors, I have experience providing the love, attention, and care that each pet deserves. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the animals under my care. I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for them and I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and providing them with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I believe in building trust and forming a bond with each pet, ensuring that they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners and am always available to provide updates and answer any questions or concerns. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who will treat your furry friends as if they were my own, I would be honored to be considered. I am confident that my experience, dedication, and love for animals make me the perfect choice to care for your beloved pets. I work from home so I will always be home and able to provide potty breaks as often as needed. Just let me know if your fur baby has any specific needs and I’ll work to accommodate them. I have a large fenced yard and my own dogs to keep your dog company. I have a large doggie playpen and crates if you prefer your fur baby to be crated or separated from my fur babies. I have baby gates to keep dogs in or out of specific areas of the house while I am working (from home) and I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them while working in my home office. I’m happy to send pictures or video updates of your fur babies while you are away so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your vacation or time away while knowing your babies are in a safe environment. My dogs are small/medium, friendly, and not aggressive.
“Let me start off by saying that Ella was absolutely amazing!!! I mean from start to finish she is phenomenal, her energy is amazing and she took care of my dog so so well!! She communicated the entire time and sent pictures and my dog looked replaced and happy! My dog is usually anxious in the car but for some reason when I picked her up she was relaxed and calmed which ensured she was comfortable and is beginning to recognize that I will always come back got her. Ella you are truly an angel and I look forward to future visits”
“I needed last-minute care for my dog and Abigail was incredibly accommodating. She was not only pleasant to communicate with but also went above and beyond to ensure Willow felt comfortable and cared for. Thank you for making a stressful situation so much easier!”
“Lauren will always be our number one choice to sit Frankie. Frankie is always so excited when we pull up to Lauren's and she is treated exactly how we would want her to be. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Frankie will be treated like family.”
“We had a busy day today and Jennifer was more than gracious to keep the pups all day. She picked up at 530 and we didn’t make it home for her to drop them off until 7pm! She was amazing to keep them taken care of all day. My Stella’s anxiety is getting better everyday that’s she goes there and sees how wonderful It is to be there with her which is fantastic. We could Not ask for anything more!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet 70 lb pit bull for 4 years now in my home with a fully fenced backyard, downstairs dog play area, private room and crate for your dog, and eufy camera access to the private room. My dog has esophageal dysmotility so I understand medically complicated dogs. My home is ideal for a dog that is lower energy and enjoys calm and quiet environments. I work remote so I am home throughout the day other than the occasional doctor appointment. On average when I leave the home, it’s usually only about 2 hours and the max is about 4 hours. I also take my dog to a home groomer every other week so I can coordinate with you to take your dog to my groomer when my dog goes for grooming for an extra cost plus you paying the groomer separately. The most important thing is that your dog and my dog get along and/or are neutral. When I leave for brief periods your dog will be crated in their private room with the door closed and my dog will be loose but without access to your dog. Note: I DO NOT take dogs on walks. I believe it is too high risk for potential altercation with other dogs or your pet and I being separated. The alternative will be my backyard where they can play and explore and also I have a downstairs dog play area with a large dog bed and many toys! I work fully remote so your dog will be with me at all times (unless I have an appointment or errand to run) either in my office, their own private room with a crate, or in the living room. I typically wake up around 6 am and pet care happens whenever my dog needs so I can do the same for your dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding and play time. I am typically in bed by 8 pm but will get up if needed to take my dog out to the bathroom as well. Safety is my main priority. I require that our dogs get along/are neutral to one another to prevent any sort of altercation. If there ever is an altercation, you would be informed immediately and the dogs can easily be separated for the rest of the day/boarding booking. I have a very quiet and calm home and live in a quiet neighborhood as well. I take breaks during work to get on the couch and spend time with my dog and will do the same for yours! Your dog must be crate trained and will be put in a crate for any time I must leave the home (max 4 hours at a time). Your dog will also have to be either in their crate or in their private room with the door closed while I sleep. Them being able to be in their private room with the door closed while I sleep will be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Note: I DO NOT take dogs on walks. I believe it is too high of a safety risk for potential altercation with other dogs or your pet and I being separated. The alternative will be my backyard where they can play and explore and also I have a downstairs dog play area with a large dog bed and many toys!
About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on my own time. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!
About: As a former 4-H participant, I not only showed dogs but also engaged in comprehensive animal care and training programs. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle pets with patience, precision, and empathy. Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I am adept at creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to provide dedicated and attentive care to your pets. Open to drop ins to overnight stay or boarding. Services Offered: Dog Walking: Energetic and engaging walks tailored to your dog's pace and stamina. Pet Sitting: Reliable in-home care, ensuring your pet’s routine is maintained just as you would. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for pets who need a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime. House Sitting: I can look after your pets overnight in your home, providing peace of mind while you're away.
About: Hi! My family has had dogs my whole life and I currently have a dog myself, she is 4 years old. While i’m newer to pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I already take daily walks as part of my routine, so caring for pets fits in very naturally. I enjoy having a dog join me—it makes the time more enjoyable while ensuring they get consistent, relaxed exercise. For dog walks, I make sure they get safe, relaxed exercise during my daily walking time. I pay attention to their pace, energy level, and comfort, and I always keep them on a secure leash. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely spend time outside for potty breaks and fresh air. I make sure they are always supervised and safe while outdoors.
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with an additional certification in massage and rehab therapy. I have been working in the animal care industry since 2012 and have worked with and trained dogs for a long as I can remember. I offer expert level care for medically complex cases and a fear free approach for anxious pets. I have experience working with anxious and aggressive dogs as well as competition trained dogs. Being crate trained is a must for overnight stays. I do have 1 large crate here but encourage you to bring your pet's crate from home if able. Self- employed with a flexible schedule, I have all day availability and can also do early morning and late evening drop ins. I only take 1 client at a time so that I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Because I only take one client at a time, I can offer a stress free stay for animal aggressive pets. I wash all toys and blankets and sanitize all the floors and dishes between every stay.
“Stacy has been watching Trixie about 2 to 3 times a week since I adopted Trixie at 4 months old over a year ago. She's been a godsend allowing me to work downtown and have care for Trixie. She goes above and beyond, and I'm pretty sure Trixie thinks she's her mom :) Thanks for everything Stacy!”
About: I’ve always lived with animals and loved them, but have worked at 2 animal shelters and 2 doggy daycares. I truly enjoy being with animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m very reliable and will accommodate whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable. Since I know pet CPR and pet first aid I know the steps to take in case of an emergency. Your baby will always be in safe hands when I’m looking after them! I’m home full time and have four dogs myself, cats, as well as a 8 year old daughter and 2 year old son so pet care and child care is a full time staple in my home anyways. I’m never away from home long unless I’m going to run errands. I have four friendly dogs of varying ages, so I’m very experienced caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I always follow any routines and rules you set for your pet, including potty breaks whenever they need them. Safety is very important to me, and when it’s time to come inside, I make sure the environment is free of anything your pet could get into or accidentally choke on.

“Petrea is wonderful. Willing to work with my retail schedule and my dogs love her. She always sends me a picture and an update on their potty activity and food intake. So thankful to know my fur babies are being checked on.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and they know they can rely on me if they need someone to care for their pet for any reason. I have experience with end of life care for cats, administering pills and fluids to cats, and feeding cats by mouth with a syringe. For example, one of my cats has a hyperthyroid and acid reflux and takes pills to manage it, and another has arthritis and takes a liquid medication orally to manage it. I primarily have experience caring for cats, dogs and hamsters. Petsitting is my focus, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m normally available for house sitting both weekdays and weekends, however I do have my own obligations and pets of my own to care for, so I must be able to leave for ~4 to 5 hours at some times. Due to this, I am not always able to accept requests for constant care (meaning pets who cannot be left alone for more than 1-3 hours, as an example). I spend as much quality time with my clients as I can, giving them plenty of love and attention. I love cuddling with them if they’re cuddlers and using their favorite toys when I play with them. I cannot take on higher energy dogs to care for, as I cannot provide them with the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive. In addition to Rover’s Guarantee, I am insured and bonded through PCI.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of two wonderful dogs who are a big part of my daily routine—I play with them, make sure they get plenty of exercise, feed them nutritious meals, and, most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also volunteered with a local rescue organization, helping homeless puppies find loving homes. I’ve fostered dogs and kittens in need, giving them a safe and nurturing environment while they wait for their forever families. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs with patience and compassion. I’m available on weekends and most holidays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup, including visits to your home if needed. During the week, I work a regular 8–5 job, but I make time in my schedule to provide consistent care. I can stop by for potty breaks and walks in the morning before work, around lunchtime (around noon) if needed, and again in the evening after 5 PM. Your dog’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet—whether it’s in my home or yours. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. I’m always mindful of keeping anything unsafe (like cords, small objects, or toxic foods) out of reach, and I never leave pets unattended in risky situations. When caring for a client’s dog, I follow their routine closely and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries to make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether we’re on a walk, having playtime, or just cuddling, your dog’s well-being is always my focus.
“I’ve used Rover in the past and after an initial meeting, have had great luck with dog walkers. Michelle is even a step above those walkers. Her kindness and patience in allowing my timid dog to get used to her slowly, over a few visits, was such a relief. Michelle’s a rockstar! 😊”
“Medea is THE GREATEST dog lover ever. I have worked for her since I moved into Rockford and am so pleased to have her be in our lives. Despite not having the opportunity to socialize with her, I absolutely feel blessed to have her around. I work overnight shift so during my work week I tend to be too tired to Walk my Matilda as much as she needs but I love that Medea comes in and when im awoken by Matildas over excitement it warms my heart to know that she Loves Medea. Since ive had her work with us my Matilda is happier she only barked once at Medeas arrival and when she saw her she was happy. I think Matilda tends to get happiest the days she has her walks with Medea. I would recommend her services to everyone I know with pets. Most amazing person ever. Thank you Medea for being a blessing in our lives. 😃🐶”

I respect your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels secure at all times.

About: I've owned cats and dogs my whole life alongside rats, tarantulas, and snakes. Currently I have 3 cats ranging in age from 12years to 3 months. I'm longing for some additional interactions with doggies as I don't get that in my day to day. I'll love yours like they're mine I've recently resigned from my full time job and am looking forward to spending my time caring for animals instead of staring at a screen all day. I will ensure your loved one has water, food, and a clean environment. Their happiness and safety are my #1 priority. I wont just go through the motions, though. I will give them the love and attention in the specific way each pet needs
About: I have been an avid animal lover since birth!! I have a wide range of experience with animal care-taking. I have babysat a farm, volunteered at shelters, and have had my own pets. I have had large German Shepherds who I have practiced training. I have managed troublesome groups and have had to del with ensuring dogs are separate for behavioral reasons. Whatever your needs, I promise I may have already done! I am able to drop-in early mornings, but will do most walking/care after 12pm some weekdays due to school. I volunteer at the Prairie land conservancy, so some random times I may be busy, but I promise for good reason!! I am available most weekends. Your pet’s safety is really important to me. I make sure they’re always supervised and comfortable. I follow instructions closely, including feeding times, walks, crate routines, and any medications.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats about my whole life! I love animals & will do my very best to make sure they get the best care! I’m a newly stay at home mom, with a child in preschool. My schedule is always clear and I’m always willing to work around things! I always make sure that they trust me before I do anything! I’ll start to pet them or play with them, then I’ll check on if they need food, water, to go outside. Basically whatever the animal needs!
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾 My heart belongs to my 8-year-old miniature schnauzer, my little old lady bestie who came from a tough past. Caring for her through trauma and anxiety has made me a more patient, attentive, and compassionate pet parent which are skills I bring to every pet I care for. Most recently, I welcomed three rescue cats into my life, and let me tell you, they have completely stolen my heart! Every day is a new adventure learning their quirks and showering them with love. Dogs, cats, big personalities, shy babies, I adore them all. Your pet won't just be looked after, they'll be loved, doted on, and treated like my very own. 🐶🐱 I can't wait to meet them! Working from home means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule. I already walk my dog multiple times a day and spend a big chunk of my time enriching and engaging my pets. Adding your fur baby to my routine would be a joy, not a chore. There's almost always someone home, which means maximum love and minimal alone time for your pet! 🐾 Your home, your rules. I'll follow every routine, boundary, and expectation you set to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you're away. My goal is for your pet to barely notice you're gone (okay, they'll miss you but they'll be well-loved in the meantime)!
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, extra exercise, playtime, or companionship during the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important pets are to families and will treat your dog like my own. I’m currently available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am–3pm for dog walking and drop-in visits. I can accommodate up to 4 walks per day and always make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m dependable, punctual, and flexible with scheduling whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs stay hydrated and comfortable. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, and I always follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions carefully. I understand pets are family, and I’ll treat your dog with kindness, love, and respect every time.

“The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!”
“I am very pleased with Tanya's care and attention. She provides a CLEAN place and a space where your pet would be comfortable. She's communicative and her price point is very justifiable as she provides top care. She's by far the best! Would highly recommend.”
“We were nervous about leaving Winston with a sitter as he generally has only been left with family in his own home previously. We need not have worried. Angelina was just the best. From a pre-board meet and greet at her home to meeting her other dogs we were at ease before he went there and when we dropped him off he was so happy and content. She introduced him slowly to her other dogs so he wasn't overwhelmed and he had the time of his life. Her house is beautifully set up to look after pets. The regular photos and videos not only put our mind at rest but showed him socializing and playing with others and just generally having a good time. I have no hesitation in recommending Angelina in looking after any of your precious pets.”
“Mary was the best! She took such good care of my Lucy. Made her feel loved and comfortable. It is so comforting to know that my Lucy was so happy with Mary! I will definitely be looking to Mary to watch her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young. Other than always having a dog of my own, I’ve taken care of pets of family, friends, and neighbors. This past year has really been the first time I’ve been without a pet. My daughter and I have a lot of love and attention to give any furry friend. I have early mornings and late afternoon-evening open Monday-Friday open and most weekends are completely open. Holiday time will have more availability with my Thanksgiving and winter break. I have a pretty big yard and a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks. I plan to do my best to make sure your pet feels as at home as possible when in my care.
“Maiah was awesome. She was super responsive and sent us pictures of our dogs while they stayed with her. She took them for walks even though has a big fenced in yard for them to play. I definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job with our dogs. We greatly appreciate her accepting our SUPER last minute booking. She sent frequent updates with how our dogs were doing. They returned home happy and relaxed. She treated our dog like her own. We would definitely plan to rebook with Samantha on our next trip with not such a last minute request.”
“Lauren and her family were great! She was so flexible and paid attention to all the details. My dog came back happy and tired from having fun! We will be back next time we’re in the area needing a sitter!”
About: I grew up with different types of pets. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets when they need it. My job is pretty flexible with my hours. I am home on the evenings. And all day on the weekends. I will gladly give your fur baby lots of love. My pets are really friendly and will most definitely keep your pet good company. There's a dog park down the street from my house and my pets love it. I will gladly bring your fur baby along to have a good time!
“Ella was very attentive and very communicative in 3 years I’ve never been away from my baby more than a couple hours and she made the entire experience great for us and our puppy girl”
“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”
“Mary did an amazing job caring for my dog for 2 weeks. I was concerned leaving her for such a long time, but Mary treated her as if she was her own dog. I received at least one photo from her every day. Right from the start I could see that my dog was healthy and happy.”
“We were nervous to tryout Rover but couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our fur baby. Ali treated our dog as if he was her own and also made sure we got several updates throughout his stay with her. We highly recommend Ali and will be a returning customer for sure!”
“So thankful for the love and care Dasher received from Nic! Not only did my puppy feel safe, he enjoyed his time playing with their dogs, and being spoiled to make him feel comfortable! Nic was great with communication, sending pics throughout the stay and flexible with drop off and pic up times. Highly recommend and will be using him again!!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Meredith was so great at keeping me informed and sending pictures of my pup while we were away on our trip. She seems to really know a lot about dogs and I love the fact that she has veterinary tech experience and dog training certification! My pup was very happy there and I will certainly use Meredith again!”
“Morgan was amazing! She took good care of Gypsy, and she was flexible when my schedule changed due to weather and travel issues. Gypsy is a ham, and I can tell that Morgan loved her the way I do! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: Hi! My family has had dogs my whole life and I currently have a dog myself, she is 4 years old. While i’m newer to pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I already take daily walks as part of my routine, so caring for pets fits in very naturally. I enjoy having a dog join me—it makes the time more enjoyable while ensuring they get consistent, relaxed exercise. For dog walks, I make sure they get safe, relaxed exercise during my daily walking time. I pay attention to their pace, energy level, and comfort, and I always keep them on a secure leash. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely spend time outside for potty breaks and fresh air. I make sure they are always supervised and safe while outdoors.
