Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”

I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Shana took awesome care of my pup! I plan to use her again. She was also super flexible and very easy to plan and communicate with.

She sent us regular photo updates throughout Elsa’s stay, giving us great peace of mind. It was clear that Elsa was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely leave Elsa with Shuhua again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“Marlee was the best we could’ve asked for the first time leaving our 2 cats alone. We appreciated how much they loved our babies and took lots of fun photos for us to enjoy while we were away on vacation for 10 days :) Will definitely reach out again if we need any help!”
“Mirabel is a gem! Very reliable and has the touch with animals. All the pictures she sent of our Tommy show him relaxed and happy - he’s not used to having a sitter yet he responded by showing his belly to be petted. She’s calm and responsive which I think sets animals at ease - we look forward to hiring her again.”
About: Both of my parents are veterinarians and I grew up working in our clinic and wildlife rehab center. I would walk dogs, clean kennels, trim nails, work with feral cats/kittens, all the grunt work that goes into running a clinic. I've raised multiple dogs,cats,deer,squirrels etc, and have done end of life care with them as well. Currently I have 2 cats. I just completed pastry school and am doing restaurant gigs on the side while looking for a full time position. My weeks are pretty open and I may have availability over weekends as well. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. If your pet has guarding tendencies, or similar behaviors, I would appreciate being informed and an introduction.

“Jordan was an awesome sitter for our 2 cats over a long weekend! She sent great pictures and updates and it's apparent that she genuinely cares about cats and loves what she does. Our cats seemed to really like her and we appreciated that she seemed to spend time giving them love and attention. We will definitely reach out to Jordan again in the future!”

“Nick is amazing taking care of our senior cat, especially when she was still in the postop recovery of her teeth extraction. Would definitely recommend Nick for anyone’s cat sitter in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience. I was away from my cat for four days and was quite worried at first, but I soon felt relieved knowing she was in such good hands. He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. My cat warmed up to him very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with him, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

We’ll definitely keep working with her whenever we need Charlie care!”

“We were so happy to rebook again with Anastasia to care for our cat in our home while we were away over a two week span. She is always so kind to our kitty, Jake, and has won him over even though he’s usually pretty skittish with visitors. She patiently plays with him and gives him treats, and has even gotten him used to pets and cuddles. I’m grateful to her for her good care of Jake, and I’ll be booking with her again in the future!”
“Gabriel was wonderful with my pups! He was very communicative and flexible with my whacky schedule, and he took the time to come over in advance to meet them first and introduce himself so they wouldn’t be meeting a strange for the first time during their drop in. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door.

Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.

“Megan was amazing - our first dog walker experience could not have been better!! Megan and Buttons hit it off immediately during their pre-walk meet and greet. She gave detailed walk updates and took great pictures of Buttons. By the 2nd walk we had pretty serious FOMO - she took Buttons to a nearby conservation, checked out a local baseball game and met our neighbors. A couple of walks were even over 30 minutes and they cover a lot of ground together. Thank you Megan!!”
“Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jonathan replied to a very last minute request from us, and provided top notch care to our stranger-wary dog. He was communicative and kind and we would ask him for help in a heartbeat should we need to again.”
“We got our Dog two months ago, and Kelly was her first outside walker. Our dog has been apprehensive with strangers in the past, so we took a graduated approach, which Kelly (and Hershey) were very receptive to. We appreciated how Kelly was patient with Hershey and read her body language well, and over the three walks Hershey became increasingly comfortable. Would absolutely book again!”
“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace! I was worried about leaving my dog with anyone since he is challenging to work with and Luis has greatly eased my concerns.”
“Zarah was very responsive and considerate. I appreciated all of the information she collected during our initial conversations, so she could plan appropriately around our dog’s needs. We’ll definitely use her services again!”

“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is how much patience and attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs instead of treating every pet the same. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also willing to learn and follow any specific instructions an owner gives me so their pet can get the same care they’re used to. I have open availability during the week and weekends that also includes holidays and special occasions. This makes sure I can fit pet care within my day to day schedule. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, cleaning up, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure to respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
About: I currently have 2 cats and I have had experience pet sitting a variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds). I have also fostered dogs including puppies. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! **select weekday evenings available, please message details as needed! I am a current grad student pursuing my MPH. My calendar is always updated so feel free to send requests and we can figure out a time that works for both of us! I will always respond to messages as soon as I can and stay in communication as well:) I cannot board any animals at my own place but I am happy to come by and walk/spend some time playing with your pet! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of or any house rules! Also for any dogs that I am taking out on walks please let me know ahead of time if they are okay greeting other dogs or if we should keep some distance for everyone’s safety:)
“Santiago was super communicative and available last minute which I really appreciated! He made sure to send updates and pictures and took my dog for a really nice walk. I could tell she was in good hands!”

“Debra was scheduled to walk my dog 4 days one week while I was away and due to bad weather we canceled 2 of the days. She was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet, very communicative all week when some hiccups arose, and very loving to my dog. I’m booking her again asap!”
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a child, continuing into adulthood. As an adult I raised and trained two dogs from puppyhood to senior citizens. I have experience with taking dogs to obedience classes, training them on recall and basic commands, and using positive reinforcement. Lots of experience with puppies and adolescent dogs. I have experience with rescues, fosters, and dogs with trauma histories and pick up dog body language fairly quickly. I know that you the owner know your dog best and as a pet parent myself make sure to respect preferences, notes on behaviors and routines, and make their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible, for them and you. I am fairly active in my day to day life, and love doing shorter and longer walks with dogs. I take mine to the dog park too, but understand that isn't for every dog, there are plenty of enrichment activities to do with them outside of public spaces. I am currently going to school and have a fairly flexible schedule to work in care throughout the week and my availability should be fairly routine. In/near my own home I have access to green spaces and a dog park. Plenty of space to walk a dog. At a clients home I would follow applicable routines and instructions regarding walks, enrichment, and socialization, which could include walk, dog park visit, or activities in the home.
About: I have taken care of various breeds of dogs and cats including walking, feeding, providing medications, cleaning up after, and playing with animals of all ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule and can be available to check on cats or walk pups throughout the day. Also available early mornings or late evening. I am very careful and take time to familiarize myself with each pets homes, surroundings, and supplies such as collars, leashes, doors, and gates to ensure safety while at home or on walks.
