“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“Samantha was the best dog border we've ever had! Our dog is 16 years old and has a few special needs. Samantha managed his care SO well! We were gone for 12 days, and each day Samantha sent us pics and videos! We could see that he was not only well-cared for, but also happy. Our dog took to Samantha, her family, and her dog so well, we thought he might not want to come home again. Thankfully, he was happy to come home. :-) We hope to ask Samantha to care for him again when we travel.”
“Jacklyn was amazing! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She has a beautiful, fully fenced backyard where our pup was able to play. Thank you!!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Mary is amazing!!! Great communication, sent pictures and updates everyday. We never once had to worry about our pup while we were out of state. She treats your pup like they are hers. 100 % recommend!!”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
“Claudia was great!! She took wonderful care of my kitty and sent lots of photos and updates. I will definitely ask her to board my cat again!! My cat seemed very happy and I was too!”
“Nicole and family were great, provided pictures to show how comfortable Gigi was to be there!! Was not sure we would get her back. Will schedule her with Nicole in the future if needed.”
“I booked her last minute and had to adjust pickup time, but she was flexible. Destinee was loving to my dog and he returned home happy and calm. She sent tons of cute pictures. Thank you for loving on my baby!!!”
“William cared well for our dog, Rosie. We appreciated that he was home during the days to spend time with her and he sent us updates each day. She came home happy!”
“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Melissa was fantastic! We left our little Rooney with her for a week and he was in such great hands. She checked in with a few photos and videos for the week, and filled us in with updates on how he was doing. She has a wonderful set up for pups with a big fenced in yard. We will definitely be using her services again! Highly recommend :)”
“Yaima was wonderfully taking care of our pups. They were so happy and worn out from such a fun weekend with her family. She was very responsive and flexible. Hey dog Stella is a sweetheart and made for such a good companion to our boys. Definitely using her in the future!”
“Fiona has been absolutely wonderful. I’m not exaggerating to say that she has been a godsend. Her expert care of our older, timid cat could not have been better. She demonstrated patience and kindness with our finicky cat, and she is truly a knowledgeable expert about animal behavior. I had sense of relief knowing our cat was being so well cared for.”
“We were so very grateful for Stacy to watch our poodle Marty over Thanksgiving. She was great at communicating and sending pictures of our boy having a good time 🙂 We know he had so much fun, thanks Stacy!”
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
“Christopher was great to work with! He was super sweet to my dog, spoke highly of him and followed all my care directions. He was highly communicative and very flexible! I appreciate his care! We have already booked our next boarding stay with him.”

“Lindi was amazing!! She accommodated my cat’s specific dietary needs. Due to stress and anxiety, my cat can have stomach and/or litter box issues which Lindi handled amazingly. She gave consistent updates with photos. I hate leaving my cat for long periods of time but Lindi made it stress free! I will absolutely be hiring her again!”
“She did an amazing job with my two cats. Made sure all of their stuff was clean and even vacuumed, and swept the floor as well as took out the trash. None of those things I asked for. By far the best pet sitter I’ve hired.”
“Mary “Elle” has been so responsive to all our needs. This is our first time using Rover and we are so relieved to have such a lovely human watching our two cats. Thanks so much, Elle!”
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”
“KJ did a really nice job with our cats and home. We had a lot of unexpected things happen that caused us to take a day off the beginning and a day off the end of our trip and KJ was super understanding and flexible. We will book with him again for sure!”
“We love Ellen! She’s so flexible, reliable, and great with our kitty cat. She’s always made herself available whenever possible, even with our last minute travel plans that leave us scrambling. She’s given me peace of mind that our cat is cared for while we are away. Thank you, Ellen!”
“Megan was extremely communicative and very understanding of our quirky kitties. She spent time getting to know them and made sure to provide daily updates. I was very thankful for the peace of mind I had because I knew she would be looking in on them. Thank you, Megan!”
“Maja did amazing job watching my two kittens. They were very well taken care of and happy with her company. Maja sent really cute pictures and detailed notes about her drop ins. Will def connect with Maja in the future. Thanks so much Maja!!”

“Maya was wonderful with my high maintenance cat! She sent me lots of pictures and updates, so I could tell how happy Pippin was with her. She was super responsive and detail-oriented. I highly recommend Maya for pet sitting!”
“Christy did a fantastic job caring for our cats while we were away on a 10-day trip. She gave them their inhaler doses without issue and provided much-appreciated companionship. The cats were delighted to spend time with her. We will definitely book Christy again!”
“Cozette is amazing!! She took excellent care of my cat, communicated with me often, and was beyond respectful of my home. I cannot say enough good things about her. I will definitely book her again and will recommend her to my friends, clients, and family!”
“Kelsey was very easy to work with, responsive, friendly, and respectful of our pets and home. We got multiple picture updates with feedings. Our cats seemed to enjoy her company.”
About: I have been around pets since the day I was born! While I am away at IU Indianapolis right now, I still make sure to visit my 2 dogs and 2 cats back home. I am a college runner with lots of energy for active puppies, but also love to relax with older dogs and cats. As a college student I am looking for opportunities that work around my class schedule. Most often I am looking for weekend sits, but also when I have a break during the week. I am very loving and affectionate to pets, but also know when I should be stern in order to keep them from doing things that may get them or someone else hurt. I always make sure they have enough food and water and I clean up after them if needed.

“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”
“Tolu was a great person to work with. We used him on 3 different days for daycare services as we toured the city. He was very flexible with drop off and pickup times as they changed each day. Zeke loved his time with Tolu!!”
“Dayana was an amazing dog sitter! Her communication was excellent, and she made sure to send cute pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided a safe and comfortable environment, and my puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Dayana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Jackson was great! We’ve never used rover before but had a great experience with him. The dogs loved him and he was easy to talk to. We felt super comfortable leaving our pups in his care. We will come back to him again and again!”
About: Hi, we're Ash and Mike! In our house, dogs are considered part of the family, and yours will be treated like one of our own. We've lived with and loved dogs for many years, so we know what it's like to leave your pup with someone else, and how much it means when they're in good hands. We're comfortable with all kinds of dogs: playful puppies, high-energy dogs, smart pups who need a job to do, anxious dogs who need patience and reassurance, and seniors who need a little extra support. We're also experienced with more involved medical care, including eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and help with incontinence. Our schedule is flexible. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, and Mike is home two days a week and is hands-on with the dogs too, so your pup will have steady company throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and Ash runs regularly and is happy to take dogs out for exercise when appropriate. We’re equally happy to provide walks, playtime, snuggles, and always have a calm home environment to meet your dog’s needs. One note: with two young kids at home (ages 4 and 6), we can only host dogs who are comfortable around children. Pet care fits naturally into our days. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. Mike is hands-on with the dogs too. Between us, your pup will have steady company, regular walks, playtime, and a calm house to settle into. Ash runs and walks regularly and loves to bring visiting dogs out with her. We treat every dog like part of the family while they're here. Being away from home can be stressful for a pet, so we focus on a calm, safe, loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Between Ash and Mike, there's almost always someone around, so your dog won't be left alone for long. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and head outside often for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. We pay close attention to each dog's routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they're energetic and playful or happier in a quieter setting. We're glad to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you share. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you're away.
“We’ve booked regularly with Gabe, and Darfee always has such a great time! Gabe sends photos of what Darfee’s been up to all day which is always fun to review. They also regularly go on walks. It’s obvious that Darfee is very comfortable with Gabe, as he always trots in with no hesitation at drop off. Highly recommend Gabe!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. That experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I love getting outside for walks around downtown Indianapolis and enjoy having a four-legged friend join me. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or out on a walk, I prioritize safety and I’ll keep you updated with photos along the way.
“It was my first time leaving Ace with someone and Mary eased all my worries! She constantly sent me pictures of him and updating me! When I picked Ace up he was not wanting to leave and as soon as he got in the car fell asleep which showed me that he’d been playing the whole time! The next day when I dropped him off he was eager to get to Mary’s. He even got on the car all by himself! Mary and her husband are great for the dogs and very flexible with pick up/drop off times which is a big plus for me.”
About: I’ve grew up with dogs in my house. Since I was 12 years old I was in charge of feed, bath and walk my dog. I’m available on this hours: Monday- friday: from 5:30 pm I work from home on tuesdays. (8-5pm) Sat and Sundays: all day long and night I will respect the rules that you have in your house like where that sleep or if they are allowed to be on the furniture, etc
About: I've moved! If you've booked with me before, please double check my new address! I've had a lifelong fascination with animals and zoology that led me to learning as much as I could about animals. I've been particularly fond of canines, leading me to become a certified dog behaviorist in 2020. I've had 2 dogs of my own, both mid sized mixed breeds, and helped take care of family and friends pets, dogs as small as chihuahuas and large as rotties. I'm self employed and work from home. I'm very flexible and can adjust to specific feeding or medicine times, and can keep near constant supervision if need be. I feel strongly about pets being treated with kindness and patience. I enjoy cuddling and playing games with them. I'll be happy to adjust to the pets individual needs and owner requests.
“Kathryn and Garrison were beyond amazing. We were passing through town on a road trip. We stopped in Indianapolis for the museum and they hung out with our dog while we were at the museum. They were incredibly thoughtful and generous and took wonderful care of June.”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life, but raising our mini Goldendoodle, Benny, since he was 9 weeks old has given me hands on experience with puppy training, crate training, potty training, bell training, socialization, routines, and helping dogs feel secure in a home environment. I especially enjoy working with puppies and younger dogs who benefit from consistency, structure, play, and interaction throughout the day. We also love slower paced and older dogs, though I always want to be upfront that Benny is still young and playful. I value communication, hospitality, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is for your dog to feel like they are staying with extended family, not just being watched. I work for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home throughout the week. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time and will be part of our normal daily rhythm, including walks, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and relaxing at home. We are a calm, loving family with two kids who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Benny loves having dog friends around, and we enjoy creating a home environment that feels relaxed, welcoming, and engaging for dogs who enjoy companionship, affection, and structure. We have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, explore, and potty comfortably. Inside the home, we have flexible spaces depending on your dog’s needs, including a tiled basement level for play and movement and a kitchen area that can be separated from the rest of the home for puppies or dogs still working on potty training. We also have Benny, our mini Goldendoodle, who loves other dogs and helps provide companionship and socialization throughout the day. If your dog is crate trained or needs structure overnight or while we briefly step away, we can absolutely accommodate that. We have multiple options available, including crate setups in our large bedroom for added comfort and supervision. Safety, supervision, and helping your dog feel comfortable in our home are always a priority.

About: I’ve spent most of my life around dogs and have always been the person friends and neighbors ask to help when they’re traveling or need an extra hand. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Some dogs want long walks and playtime, others just want calm companionship and consistency. I’m happy to meet them where they are. When caring for a dog, I focus on a few things that really matter: safety, routine, and communication. I follow feeding and walking instructions closely, pay attention to behavior changes, and make sure dogs get the exercise, stimulation, and rest they need. I’m also very aware that every dog has their own quirks and preferences. Some are social, some are cautious, some are high-energy explorers. I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable so their time away from their owner feels as stress-free as possible. You can expect clear updates, photos, and quick communication while your dog is with me. I treat every dog like they’re someone’s family member — because they are. I live an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks and fresh air, so dog walking fits naturally into my day. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first — I only take a limited number of dogs so each one gets calm attention and a stress-free environment. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and quiet downtime so your dog feels secure while you’re away. You’ll receive photo updates and short notes during every stay or walk so you always know how your dog is doing. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly with space to relax after walks and playtime. Every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel comfortable — whether that’s exploring outside or simply having a calm place to nap. Hi! I’m Zach, a lifelong dog lover and experienced caretaker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m currently working remotely and building a design consulting practice, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to dog walking, drop-ins, and boarding. I love getting outside for long walks, staying active, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including large dogs, cats with different personalities and needs, and even rabbits. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to the unique care each animal requires. Whether it’s managing the energy of larger dogs, understanding the subtle behaviors of cats, or providing gentle care for smaller animals, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I believe every pet is an individual, and it’s important to take the time to observe and meet their specific needs. I approach all animals with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I am currently taking a month off from work to allow myself some much needed self care time before I transition into pursing a Vet Tech degree. When I inevitably get back into a standard part time job, still allowing myself the time to focus on bettering myself- I will always ensure I have enough time to care and love for animals in my care as if they were my own. As of now, I will be available round the clock for care- as early as 6am and as late as 10pm. For all animals- I will ensure that I follow all instructions left- because we all care for our fur babies in our own ways. But what is non negotiable is ensuring they are safe and content at all times.
“Khalil is the very best. He has the best work ethic and is always pleasant, reliable, and accessible. He also has great chemistry with animals and seems to truly enjoy working with them.”
“Lindi is amazing, I just had hip surgery and my one year old golden retriever Bruce has lot of energy needs his Daily walks.. Bruce loves her and she always on time…”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Maya and I am cat mom to two lovely gals who made me realize you can be a dog and cat person after all. I have experience working with pups at all life stages including senior pups needing medication and/or specific diets. I am currently a graduate student, which means that right now my summers are quite flexible for most days of the week. I love taking local walks, so having a companion (or two) is perfect for me. I am a lover of lists and details! I understand how much our pets mean to us (I am a rover user myself so I am very familiar with this process of finding the right person). I will follow the instructions you leave exactly as you would want it and treat your space with respect.
“Ethan was super understanding and flexible with my anxious dog and this anxious owner! He was also very understanding when I accidentally gave my old address. Highly recommend!”
About: Hey there! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛
“Elle was great with my scared little dog. She took her on her first walk with a stranger and I trusted that she knew how to interact with Biscuit in a way that wouldn't stress her out even more.”
“Maddie has stepped up so many times when my other sitters fell through during my long shifts at the hospital. I always come home to a happy dog ❤️ I’m so thankful I found her!”
“I have had Christy as a weekly dog walker for about 3-4 months, and she is wonderful. Her reports are great, dogs always look so happy in their photos, and she is very prompt in letting you know when she will need days off for vacation. I wholeheartedly recommend her for dog walking services!”
“Lauren is the best and goes above and beyond!! She was very patient with my pup who was giving her a hard time the first day. But she is a dog whisperer and now they are best friends! Lauren is very reliable and flexible. Marley takes great naps after their walks together. I would definitely recommend her for your pet needs!”
About: My whole life, I’ve taken care of pets whether it’s been my own cats and dogs at home, helping neighbors while they’re out of town, or taking on paid pet-sitting jobs in my community. Each experience has helped me build trust, responsibility, and lasting friendships with both people and their pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m currently an undergraduate student at New York University who greatly misses my golden retriever, Maple, who’s back home in the Midwest. Growing up with dogs has made me patient, responsible, and deeply caring toward animals of all kinds. Taking care of your pet wouldn’t just be a job for me and it would genuinely bring me joy and help fill the space that Maple has left while I’m away at school. I’d love to give your furry friend the same love and attention I give my own! I always make sure I take the time to play and cuddle with the pets I care for. Walking, feeding, and keeping up with bathroom breaks are important, but so is showing affection and attention! I want every pet I watch to feel comfortable, loved, and part of my routine while their owners are away. I’m patient and gentle with shy animals, but also playful and energetic with those who love to run around. I take safety seriously and always making sure doors and leashes are secure, routines are followed, and each pet’s individual needs are respected. Whether it’s a quiet night in or a long walk through the park, I try to make every visit something special for them.
About: i have taken care of both cats and dogs throughout the past few years, in and out of my own place. i am experienced in walking, feeding, and playing with them while their owners are away. my favorite part of making sure the owner feels secure and confident that their babies are in good hands is catering to specific needs. getting to know your animal is important to me! i work in an office mon-fri, but i am usually home in the evenings & all day on weekends. i’m also available for short or long-duration overnight stays. my partner, Daniel (a Rover sitter!), usually tags along in my sits as well. we live in an apartment, so for the comfort of your dog (or cat, if they’re a fan of the outdoors), i would be thrilled to make use of the environment that they are already familiar with. if you have a home with a yard, i’m sure getting some exercise in for the day would be no problem.
“Emily has walked my dog Reese 3 times now, and she has been great!! She communicates well, spend quality time with Reese and takes great photos, and I know Reese is in good hands with Emily. She has been available to walk Reese with minimal notice when I had a long day at work, and I really appreciated it!”
About: The cats my family had (& still have) when I was growing up at home were all strays. Two from a man experiencing homelessness in Manhattan, one abandoned in a park in the Bronx, a fourth found in Queens, & the most recent addition came with the house my family moved to. I used to do drop in visits for my neighbor, my mom’s friend, who also had adopted a lot of strays; I can remember seven of them in total, most of whom she had the same time! I just have one cat of my own now whom I adopted from the 9 Lives Cat Cafe through Misty Eyes, but I fed a lot of Monon cats daily before I got Pumpkin. I teach at a middle & high school downtown, so not only do I have time in the mid to late afternoons & weekends, but I have summers almost completely free. Just let me know when you need me & I can probably come through! My fiancée & I are very particular about Pumpkin, so we understand that pet owners can have specific expectations. Maybe your cat or dog only likes to play in a specific way, or maybe a bunch of ways & they pick a different one each day & I’ll have to figure it out. Pump’s pretty self sufficient, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t spoil her. We don’t see her drink from her automatic water fountain, but we still clean it & change the filter regularly. & don’t worry, having gone to college & graduate school, I’m very good at following directions, & learning to give directions over the past three years teaching has only made me better at it.
“Gigi was very communicative during the week she watched our pups. She took great care of our pups and was flexible when we had a medical emergency with our one dog. We truly appreciated her watching our babies while we were out of the country.”
About: Hello! I am a former teacher turned flight attendant. Between trips, I am home day and night for when things come up and you need a hand. I truly enjoy taking care of fur babies during my down time. As a mom to two senior dogs, I make darn sure to treat your pups and your space how I would want mine to be treated, with utmost love and care! I will send picture updates or let you enjoy your time away per request. Behavioral and/or special needs are always accepted here! Message me with any and all questions. I look forward to working with you! I am available full time between jobs, so I can be available as needed to care for your pet in and around your home. My dogs go on three 30+ minute walks daily and I understand how important it is that they are well cared for. I will follow any requests that are needed based on the availability of a fenced-in yard. I can bring leashes if needed. I will not feed or give treats unless specified!
About: Walk. Wag. Repeat. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sebastian! Animals have always been the center of my world, and my business, Silly Moose & Co, is named in honor of my late, beloved dog, Layla. Her nickname was "Silly Moose," and she taught me everything about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of a wagging tail. I founded this business to carry on her legacy by treating every pet I meet with that same "Moose-sized" love. 📬 The "Pet's Best Friend" Professional By day, I’m a Letter Carrier, which truly makes me a pet's best friend! I’m out in the community every day, rain or shine, and I’ve mastered the art of making friends with every pup on the block. My career means I am exceptionally reliable, punctual, and used to being active in all types of weather. 🐾 Rescue-Tested Experience When I’m not on my route, I’m dedicated to rescue work. I am a current volunteer at Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, and I previously spent time with the ASPCA as a shelter walker and dog photographer. These roles have given me invaluable experience with all personality types—from the shyest "underdogs" needing a patient hand to high-energy pups ready for an adventure. 🐈⬛ Tailored Care for Cats While the dogs are out walking, the feline family members aren't forgotten! I offer tailored services specifically for cats. As a "servant" to two cats who rule my own home, I know that every cat is unique—whether they want high-energy laser chasing, gentle brushing, or just some quiet company. I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.

“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Mary is amazing!!! Great communication, sent pictures and updates everyday. We never once had to worry about our pup while we were out of state. She treats your pup like they are hers. 100 % recommend!!”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
“Nicole and family were great, provided pictures to show how comfortable Gigi was to be there!! Was not sure we would get her back. Will schedule her with Nicole in the future if needed.”
“I booked her last minute and had to adjust pickup time, but she was flexible. Destinee was loving to my dog and he returned home happy and calm. She sent tons of cute pictures. Thank you for loving on my baby!!!”
“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Melissa was fantastic! We left our little Rooney with her for a week and he was in such great hands. She checked in with a few photos and videos for the week, and filled us in with updates on how he was doing. She has a wonderful set up for pups with a big fenced in yard. We will definitely be using her services again! Highly recommend :)”
“Yaima was wonderfully taking care of our pups. They were so happy and worn out from such a fun weekend with her family. She was very responsive and flexible. Hey dog Stella is a sweetheart and made for such a good companion to our boys. Definitely using her in the future!”
“Fiona has been absolutely wonderful. I’m not exaggerating to say that she has been a godsend. Her expert care of our older, timid cat could not have been better. She demonstrated patience and kindness with our finicky cat, and she is truly a knowledgeable expert about animal behavior. I had sense of relief knowing our cat was being so well cared for.”
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
“Becky and Cam are so attentive and make sure that my little guy gets tons of attention, enjoys time in the yard, gets out and about for good walks, and is generally super well cared for. Their pups Merlyn and Fern are so welcoming and playful and it makes me feel good leaving my pup with all of them when I’m away. I highly recommend using their services!”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”

Plenty of space for fun and activities
“Kathryn and Garrison took such good care of our Mabel while we were out of town! It ended up being a vacation for Mabel too - she got lots of love and enjoyed running around their backyard! We appreciated the consistent communication and they made sure to understand Mabel’s needs, which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend this pair!”
