“Crystal was awesome! Our dog got along great with her dogs, and I trusted that Crystal was taking great care of Stella. She sent multiple photos and a video during Stella's stay and had great communication overall. We will definitely book her for all our future dog care needs.”
“Diana and Kevin were great!! This was the first time leaving our puppy Mabel so I was a little nervous but there was no reason to be. Diana took Mabel on walks and sent many updates. She replied to my messages quickly and was very responsive. We already have them booked for a future weekend getaway. Highly recommend!”
“Once again Sara did an AMAZING job watching my little old baby Bones. Not only did she take him on super short notice, but she had him all during the holiday season with a pick up on Christmas Eve. My dog is old and anxious but Sara worked her magic (as always) and he was happy and content during his stay. She sent me regular messages and photos and I never worried even for a second knowing she had it handled. Her background as a Vet Tech really comes in handy with my babies as they have either been old or sick and she just takes the very best care of them. I swear that I would not go on vacation if Sara wasn't available to babysit for me. She is the absolute best and I would recommend her 100%!”
“Our little dog needed a good place to stay for some days while his Primary Person was convalescing from surgery. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for him ... for a caring and responsible dog sitter, kind and attentive family there, and a few other doggies for playing, fun, companionship. There is no doubt that we will ask Rachel to be a dog sitter in the future.”
“Dayna was great with Panny and although it was not a great fit for our dog in particular ( she can be a little old and grumpy) I would highly recommend her skills and sweet personality!”
“The best person i could ever ask to take care of my baby Challa. Rajesh is very sweet and personable. He is wonderful with communicating and sending pictures. I will definitely bring Challa back to Rajesh. I 100% trust and know he will be taken good care of with Rajesh. Thank you so much again. Challa misses you already ?”
“Sarah and Justin and super! They love your dog just like their own! Great about providing updates and pictures! Our doggie came home happy as could be! Will definitely book again!”
“5/5 Stars – Absolutely Exceptional Care! We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care our pets received. From the moment we met, it was clear that pet sitting isn't just a job for them, but a true passion. They went far above and beyond anything we expected. Not only were our pets fed right on schedule, but they also received an immense amount of genuine love and attention. The detailed daily updates, complete with photos and videos, gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. What truly blew us away was their remarkable attention to detail and willingness to step up in a stressful situation. When they noticed our dog had signs of worms, they communicated with us immediately and went to the store to buy new food, making sure it was the right type and that she liked it. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and truly dedicated to your pets' happiness and safety, look no further. We will absolutely be booking them again!”
“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly. Her animals are so sweet and so is Julie! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you to you and your family for taking such incredible care of our girl!!”
“Jessica and David took great care of Mocha. They communicated well, sent us lovely photos of our pooch during her stay, and treated her to a walk, car ride and pup cup. They are true dog people! Absolutely would book them again.”
“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!”
“Samantha was great! She sent me pictures and updates everyday without my having to ask. Her home was clean and her dog was friendly. I will definitely utilize her services again!!”
“Highly recommend Kristen and Kenneth, Mac loves to visit and is well taken care of everytime! He has a best buddy with Zeke and it is a blessing to know they treat him like he's part of their family when he visits ❤️❤️”
“Tilly's previous owner has taken her to Karen for years. So when Tilly came to live with me, I also took her to Karen. Tilly loves staying with Karen. And as Tilly's mom, I love that Karen sends me periodic updates and photos of her time there when I'm away. Everyone I've talked with loves taking their dog to Karen. I agree and will certainly take Tilly there again.”
“Melissa did a fantastic job with Chloe. She went above and beyond when my plans changed. Chloe was very well taken care of & we had no trouble resuming our normal schedule as soon as I returned after a 10 day trip. I received updates via text, photos & movies. I will be using her services again : )”
“Odalys was amazing with our Jasper during our wedding weekend. We could tell he had a great time in all of the pictures she sent us while he was in her care. She also made sure to communicate any questions or concerns with us immediately. A great gal and a clean living space as well.”
“Mallory took good care of Jiggly for a week and shared regular updates with the pics. Jiggly’s vegan food, his playpen accommodations were very well taken care of and he was provided a good play time with Mia. Would definitely be boarding Jiggly with Mallory again in the future”

“I am so appreciative of Kendall, she did a phenomenal job! She was on time every time and cleaned up a throw up mess without hesitation. She loved on our kitty and did everything we asked of her and more! We will hire her again for the future.”
“Earlier this year Elizabeth would do once a day drop in visits for our cat. But now my cat is newly diabetic and needs shots twice daily which complicates going out of town more! Having Elizabeth regularly checking on my cat and doing the shots is so helpful. I appreciate it so much!”
About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was about 8, I’ve been responsible for bathing, giving medicine and making sure they are well loved while owners are away. I specifically love the ability to care for the furry ones you love when you cannot devote the time needed or wanted for them! I am currently in nursing school so my schedule can be wonky some weeks, but my usual availability is 1-6 most weekdays and usually between 8AM and 9:00 PM on weekends! I have a Malshi (Maltese shihtzu mix) he plays mostly In our backyard as well as with my neighbors German Shepard, we live on a 1 acre plot.
“Maria did an amazing job caring for my cat while away! Very responsive and give daily photos and updates. Would definitely have her watch my cat again next time I go out of town.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She was absolutely amazing with our elderly cat and took such thoughtful, loving care of her while we were away. She was incredibly kind, caring, and patient, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cat and wanted her to feel comfortable and loved. Knowing our cat was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and wonderful with pets!”
“Noah took great care of our two cats and was incredibly helpful when our trip got extended. He stayed flexible, kept a positive attitude, and handled everything with professionalism. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and truly appreciated his support. Highly recommend!”
“Savannah was very responsive and took care of my cat while I was away on short notice. She provided great photos and kept me up to date on anything that came up. My cat is normally quite shy around strangers, but she immediately welcomed Savannah and warmed up to her. It really gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Thank you!”
“Cheryl is amazing! Our dog Marley absolutely loves her and the pictures we get from Cheryl prove that. Marley is always so happy and smiling when they are together! Cheryl is very communicative, kind, trustworthy, and accommodating to our needs. She has been so helpful in watching our pup and we appreciate her so much!”
About: For a few years now, I have been taking care of 2 cats of my own—rescued as kittens—and I love them dearly. I am also accustomed to receiving scratches from their playful roughhousing, pouncing, and climbing, so I’ll be comfortable around even the most ferocious felines.
“Zoe is a gifted pet sitter. My big floofy cat Gracie accepted her immediately. Zoe is responsible and generous, her photos snd updates are poetic. I wholeheartedly recommend asking Zoe to be part of your cat’s care team.”
“Beth came 3 times a day to check on Katrina. She would feed her once a day, but more importantly, she sat with her and let her know she was not abandoned. Beth kept me advised what Katrina did and how she responded.”
“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”

About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. Currently, I have a tuxedo kitty named, Mr. Sir. His is my laid back, street rat, expert hunter that does not like to be indoors. I have currently have a flock of 14 chickens. This is my second flock of chickens owned since 2019. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. Maple, my lab, was a diabetic for 7 years, requiring insulin injections. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. The care needed for my senior dogs helped build my knowledge on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be, just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.
About: Hi, I’m Kendall! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2023. I’m a proud cat mom to Topaz and Turbo, and I believe pets thrive with a balance of love, exercise, mental enrichment, and consistency. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and one-on-one doggy daycare for personalized attention. I enjoy learning about animal behavior and training, and I love helping pets stay active, confident, and engaged. I also have experience caring for very young animals, including bottle-feeding newborn kittens. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect reliable care, regular updates, plenty of affection, and someone who treats your furry family member like one of their own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have plenty of time to give your all of your furry pets all the love and attention they will need while you are away. My schedule is updated regularly and I will be sure to fit my schedule around your needs once booked. One question I always ask my clients is “how long can your pet be alone?”. I adhere to those guidelines. I have plenty of experience with dogs & cats. I have dog/cat and house sit for the last several years for clients when they were out of town on vacation. I promise to provide your pups or kitties with safe, loving care.
“Jessica is incredibly quick to respond, kind, patient, and clearly cares about each dog’s individual needs and safety. They have a beautiful home with a large, well-maintained fenced yard, and it’s obvious they go above and beyond to make the dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend them!”
About: Hey there! My name is Audrey and I've been an animal lover since very a young age. Grew up on a farm and started watching for family and friends about 10 years old. From chickens, cows, horses, you name it I've cared for it! I take care of my parents Shih Tzu Dollie (named after Mrs Dolly Parton, because of her big attitude and sass!). *****My husband Joey occasionally assists me with pet sitting and care. We have many people that we have watched pets for together. We just love giving all animals love and affection they deserve. I'm currently a full time worker, but only working Wednesday to Saturday 7:30a to 6p. So I am available to cuddle and play with your furry family member on my days off and if your comfortable with care morning before and after my work schedule. My husband currently works 8a-4p in Plainfield as well, but he’s able to assist with midday potty breaks and care if you so desire! My husband and I take the atmost care of your furry family member making sure their bellies are full and they have plenty of cuddles and play time in the comfort of your own home!
“Kristen and Kenneth were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog Ace. They were so welcoming, made sure everyone was a good fit, let us see where the dogs would be and helped us and our boy get acclimated to the environment! They sent updates throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures! I never once worried about Ace (and we often do as he is a very anxious dog)! Not only this, but they helped us pull off an engagement and made accommodations so that the proposal could go perfectly without us having to worry about Ace (: we will 10000% be using them again!”
“Dustin was great with Chip. I trusted him right away as Chip took to him the same. He sent plenty of photos and Chip came back from doggy daycare absolutely spent! What’s better than a tired dog?”
About: Hello! I'm recently retired from the Air Force, an avid reader, and a lifelong animal lover. I've cared for cats and dogs throughout my life, including my senior British Shorthair, Sasha. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm presence, you'll receive plenty of photos and updates while you're away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my senior British Shorthair, Sasha, and enjoy building walks and outdoor time into my day. Since retiring, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. At this time, I provide care in my clients' homes rather than my own. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I'm happy to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I'll treat your pets as if they were my own and provide regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
“Janet was absolutely wonderful! My dog Pumpkin stayed with her for the entire day for daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated and let me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Janet is so kind and caring, and it’s obvious she truly loves the dogs she watches. Her sweet basset hound, Mildred, is absolutely adorable too! Pumpkin came home happy, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands all day. I would absolutely book with Janet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little guy! 💕🐶”
“Amy did a great job of taking care of my dog. Would definitely recommend and would bring my dog back again here for daycare ! My dog came back home tired . Loved the pics and updates !”
“Doggy daycare with Libby is so fun for my 3-month old poodle puppy - and a life-saver for me! Libby is quick to respond, flexible, and a reliable caretaker for dogs.”
“Moose had such a great time with Brittany and Waylon! Brittany is very thorough in making sure she knows everything about your pet and ensures they have a great stay. Thank you, Brittany!”
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
About: Hi, I’m Emma. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had a dog in the house. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and currently have a French Bulldog of my own. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from high-energy puppies to seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience with cats and grew up riding and caring for horses, including competing at the collegiate level. Whether you’re looking for daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well loved. 💡 Note: Dogs requiring extra care — such as seniors, those with mobility issues, or pets needing medical support — are booked at my Puppy Rate due to the additional time and attention involved. I know how important it is to find someone reliable who genuinely cares for your pet. I’d love to learn more about what your dog or cat needs to feel right at home! I currently work M-F 8-5 and take a lunch break daily lunch break. I work remotely so can block time in my calendar to accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I am usually open on the weekends. I live in an apartment complex near near multiple parks with great walking trails. Happy to hang with your pup indoors or go do something more active outside!
About: I’ve had dogs for over 20 years and caring for pets has been part of my life since I was very young. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and different personalities and needs. I have experience administering medications when needed and always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Your dog will enjoy daily walks, playtime, attention, and a family-friendly home environment. I also have a fully fenced backyard that is maintained without toxic sprays, so your fur baby can safely explore and play. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom and this allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I care for pets as if they were my own while following their normal routine and owner preferences. At my home, pets enjoy a safe environment with a fully fenced backyard and regular supervision since I’m home most of the day.
“Sara did so good with our Marty! This is his first time ever being watched by anyone outside our family and we were so nervous being that marty gets so scared at times but she kept him calm and did wonderful! She took Marty for a walk and then he got to play with her dogs Pickles and Pepper and they became great friends! I'm so happy and just overall relieved that he did so well and was so well taken care of! I look forward to Marty's next stay with Sara, Pickles, and Pepper! ???”
About: My Golden Retriever (Captain) is the most spoiled and loved pup on the block, and your furry friend will get the same love and attention staying with me! Long walks or fetch in the yard? A furry friend to play with? Plenty of comfy beds to nap on? That's our place! I I keep our house temperature controlled at 73 degrees year round - whenever your pup wants they can be inside and cuddle with me. I love to do that too. I have had dogs my whole life and have prior pet sitting experience as well! I am attentive, caring, and responsible and am happy to send you several photos daily so you can check in on your furry friend! I know how hard it is to be away. I work from home full time so your pet isn’t left alone throughout the day. My three year old and nanny are here too (or husband on weekends) so there’s plenty of energy and fun to go around. Working from home and walk pups in the am with playtime in the evening and plenty of snuggles between zoom calls during the day! They’re in heaven since we started working from home. Back yard provides a safe space to play and daily walks (if appropriate) keep them happy. A comfortable interior which is always kept clean and free of any dangerous items (goldens eat everything so we take lots of precautions that will keep your pet safe, too!)

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends. From the most energetic puppies to anxious rescues, I am very experienced in pet care, and will ensure your furry friends receive all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am currently taking a break from school, making me available all throughout the week to help with anything you need—including walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I cannot care for your pets in my home because my dog gets very anxious around other unfamiliar animals. However, I can definitely stay in your home where your pets feel the most comfortable, & will take care of them exactly as you would like!
“Elizabeth was amazing! I’ve never booked someone through rover before and she made the experience very easy. Our dog is super stubborn and our dog seemed to really enjoy her and even potty for her. Our dog usually doesn’t potty for many people.”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was twelve when my family got the first dog. I have always loved animals and have since owned three cats and volunteered at numerous animal welfare organizations. I currently work full-time, but I have the availability to come visit and walk throughout the week and ensure your pet gets let out in a timely manner. I absolutely spoil my cat and plan to grow my family in the near future! I would treat your pet as my own throughout their duration of care.
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I bring to every pet. I don’t just love animals, I notice the small details, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. As a dedicated dog parent, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, including senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra support, puppies who require consistent supervision and routine, and pets who need additional patience or reassurance in new environments. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining specific feeding schedules, including pets with special diets or picky eating habits. I’m also used to managing multiple care needs at once, such as balancing walks, feeding routines, and medication timing for more than one pet in a household. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each stay or visit. For example, I make it a point to share how your pet is adjusting, how they’re eating, and any little personality moments that help you feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for, like they’re on their own little vacation. 🥰 Since I am a student completing school online, I spend a lot of my time at home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to take breaks from studying to spend time with animals, whether that’s going for a walk, providing companionship, or keeping them on their normal routine while their owners are away. My own dogs are a big part of my daily life, so caring for animals already fits naturally into my routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and feeling comfortable in their own environment, and I’m happy to provide that extra love and care when you can’t be there. Animals are my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a dedicated “helicopter dog parent,” I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether that means an energetic outing or a relaxed stroll with plenty of sniff time. I’m experienced with a range of personalities, leash behaviors, and special requirements. For in-home care, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including administering medications, following detailed instructions, and managing feeding schedules. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and comfort needs.
About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. As an adult, I have had 5 dogs over the years. They have always been adopted from a shelter or rescue group, plus one dog from an elderly friend. I have adopted 2 puppies and the others were several years old when they were adopted. I love their companionship. I walk our current dog as many days/week as possible. She is my travel buddy! I have crate-trained the puppies and provided as much love and care as possible for our senior dogs, including providing medication. My animals are my children and are very spoiled! I'm currently unemployed so available pretty much any time to care for animals. Once I find a full-time job, my schedule may change a bit but if my job is remote then I would have a lot of flexibility to care for the animals. I have a fairly large fenced yard for running and playing. Trees for observing the squirrels! There are 2 outside cats that do not really mind other dogs. My dog has done very well with other dogs as long as they are not aggressive or too big. I also live in a nice neighborhood where dogs can be walked, including a nice, wooded area with a great trail for walking. I also live close to Eagle Creek park where dogs could be walked.
About: I’ve been looking after my family’s, as well as my own animals for years. I can appropriately handle both higher and lower energy animals, as well as care for animals that need special attention. Two of my kittens have asthma so I’m good with around the clock medications when they are needed. I’m currently a freshman in college, I have a part time job with super flexible hours and work schedules. I don’t mind staying over or even dropping by every few hours if they don’t need 24 hour supervision. I am very capable of taking larger or even smaller dogs on walks if needed, or just keeping an eye on them in the yard. I don’t mind cleaning up after them as well. Most of the cats that I have are rescues and require taking medication so I do have experience with administering those when needed.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, and extended stays depending on availability. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I create a calm, positive environment and make sure pets get plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and worry-free.

About: I have been a dog and/or cat owner my entire life. I believe our pets are family members and treat them as such. I have provided care for many different dog breeds, as well as cats, and am also experienced in giving medicine and administering shots. Let me share my love of animals with your precious pet(s)! I have done medical transcription for over 35 years and can do it from anywhere, so I am available 24/7 to care for your pet. I can care for your pet(s) in your home just as if you were there. I am also able to do any routine tasks required (take out trash bins, plant watering, lawn maintenance, or any other chores needed).
About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was about 8, I’ve been responsible for bathing, giving medicine and making sure they are well loved while owners are away. I specifically love the ability to care for the furry ones you love when you cannot devote the time needed or wanted for them! I am currently in nursing school so my schedule can be wonky some weeks, but my usual availability is 1-6 most weekdays and usually between 8AM and 9:00 PM on weekends! I have a Malshi (Maltese shihtzu mix) he plays mostly In our backyard as well as with my neighbors German Shepard, we live on a 1 acre plot.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & now have one of my own. I have also taken care of both dogs & cats for friends & family so have experience there as well. I’m a part time nanny looking for some ways to make some extra money when I don’t have the baby I take care of. I am pretty open throughout the week and would love to help out! I enjoy going on walks and runs with dogs, playing with them at parks and inside, and am willing to do whatever they are used to doing while their owners are away. There are many nearby parks in my area that I’d be willing to take the dogs to as well.
About: I have had a Newfoundland for the last 8 years, he is back at home with my parents. I also just recently got a golden retriever/australian shepherd mix who is now 6 months old! I have always loved animals, especially dogs and I would love to get the opportunity to work with you and your dogs. It would also provide excellent socialization skills with my dog now. I don't have a lot of experience with small dogs, but I am more than willing to walk them and play with them. Since my dog is a large breed, I am more comfortable having medium and large+ breeds around him. He is very gentle and loves to play. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a kid, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines — from energetic pups who love long walks to shy kitties who need a calm presence. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or medication schedules, I’ve got it covered. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone who truly cares. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and at home — and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Let me know your pet’s unique needs and personality — I can’t wait to meet them! I work full time as a Respiratory Therapist, I have two dogs of my own, and love having the opportunity to love on others pets when they need it the most! I have dog sat for multiple of my neighbors on multiple occasions, as well as my family members! I am looking for more ways to get myself out side and try something new! I treat every pet as if they are my own! Pets are just as much a part of the family as any human and deserve all the love and affection they can get!

“Diana and Kevin were great!! This was the first time leaving our puppy Mabel so I was a little nervous but there was no reason to be. Diana took Mabel on walks and sent many updates. She replied to my messages quickly and was very responsive. We already have them booked for a future weekend getaway. Highly recommend!”
“Our little dog needed a good place to stay for some days while his Primary Person was convalescing from surgery. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for him ... for a caring and responsible dog sitter, kind and attentive family there, and a few other doggies for playing, fun, companionship. There is no doubt that we will ask Rachel to be a dog sitter in the future.”
“Dayna was great with Panny and although it was not a great fit for our dog in particular ( she can be a little old and grumpy) I would highly recommend her skills and sweet personality!”
“The best person i could ever ask to take care of my baby Challa. Rajesh is very sweet and personable. He is wonderful with communicating and sending pictures.
