“She is wonderful and my dog had a blast. She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures of my pup throughout. She was flexible with drop off and pickup and offered to let me bring my dog to meet hers early to ease the introduction between them all if needed. I definitely recommend.”
“Emily was wonderful with my dog and both seemed to enjoy themselves a lot! Stacy got a scrape from playing too hard (accidents happen) and Emily treated it right away and told me. She was flexible with pickup, drop-off, and available to meet before Stacy stayed over. I highly recommend her!”
“Working with Amy and Aaron was a wonderful experience. Amy picked up my cats from the airport and housed them overnight when I got stranded in a blizzard. They did it on only a few hours notice, provided exemplary care, and even delivered them to me when I finally arrived in town. I’d use Amy and Aaron again in a heartbeat.”
“Jason and his family were incredible. They sent pictures and our dogs were completely happy. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing family. Thank you jaz so much. Carena”
“Tori and Malik were great! The first picture posted let me know Bonnie was very comfortable. They had a beautiful area to walk her and I could tell she was having a great time. So appreciative of their caring and loving feelings toward my Bon! A million thanks.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 2 years in our house and in others as well. I have two kids that help to learn responsibility, work ethic, and love! I teach and coach so my availability will vary but I’m available on most weekends, summers, and holidays. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your babies! I have a very friendly family dog at our fenced in house. I live in a pet friendly area with multiple floors and levels to take care of your fur babies!
About: Looking for an experienced animal sitter or affordable daycare that is flexible? Woof, I am your gal! From 13 years of combined dog training and behavioral training, I may as well be an animal mind reader! My approaches to pet care are holistic and it doesn't get more organic than loving and working with animals. I've also had many years of experience with small animals, fish and reptiles. If you need a small sitter, I'm all yours! MEET & GREET: I do my meet and greets differently than most. I have TWO meet and greets. The first is with owners alone for a tour of my house, going over routines and any additional care and concerns. This is very helpful as exciting dogs barking can be overwhelming. The second meet and greet is at a basic place like a park or OUTSIDE of dog park. My schedule and routine is pretty flexible, yet still manageable and structured. My daycare hours are Mon-Fri from 8AM to 5:30PM, though I can work around your schedule only on those days. Boarding is available 7 days a week during the night with check in times anywhere 2PM to 7PM, checkouts 8AM next day unless specified otherwise (in the event I am unavailable with a week advance notice). Dog walks and dog check-ins are only Saturday evenings, various hours. BITE POLICY: I understand that accidents happen and I am equipped to handle a bite from a dog/cat as well as ensure the safety of animal to animal bites. If your pet bites me, another person or pet, I will immediately contact you with details of the event. I will report ALL bites to Rover. Depending on the situation, someone will need to pick up pet(s) within 6 hours of contact and bite. It is up to Rover to issue a refund depending on circumstances. You MUST book your request through Rover and MUST pay via Rover for them to ensure a refund. I will NOT refund if you have paid via CashApp, check, Venmo, cash, etc. if you are required to pick up your pet(s). If I assess the situation and feel it's risky to board/sit your pet I will decline future requests. NOTE: You MUST book/CONFIRM your requests via ROVER! When you send your requests to me, I will book it and you must confirm via Rover in order for me to watch your pets. Pending request will be denied of service. NOTE: Boarding is charged by the NIGHT. For example, if you request for me to board your pets Jan 8th thru Jan 17th, they MUST be picked up ON the 17th, not the next day on Jan 18th. Please factor in how late you will arrive and if it's the next day you will have to pay for that night. This works just like a hotel stay. You will be charged a $20 fee for each pet if you need to extend stays. NOTE: Please make sure your pets are free from fleas and parasites! Upon meet and greet provide proof of recent medication, vet summaries, and other remedies. I no longer provide daycare services, only boarding, walks, and check ins. I currently have 5 cats and 1 dog. Walking and at home check ins are anywhere from 1-3 hours Sat evenings. I will walk around neighborhood only if a safe and trusted area. I also will care for cat in home visits. All required is specific walking and care instructions.

About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. Recently, I only have a kitten at home currently, but I've cared for all ages and sometimes even special needs animals. I have my kitten on a timed eating schedule with wet food to help her get all the nutrients she needs. She also has toys for stimulation, and I play with her daily to increase her stamina and decrease pet depression. For cats, I keep them indoors and make sure they have enough stimulation in their environment. For dogs, it would depend on the weather, the backyard setup, and the specific care that each different individual animal may need.

I make my own hours so I am available full time to take care of or just give your pet the extra attention they need!

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and have been a hands on caretaker for about 6-7 years. I’ve also got a certificate from the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid. I’m available all day Monday through Thursday and periodically throughout the weekend. I’m also available to do overnights Monday through Thursday. I’m available to do short walks, feedings, and potty breaks on the Weekends. I brush my dog once a day and take her outside into the back yard for fresh air.

About: I have dog sit for many family members and neighbors, this included long walks, belly rubs, and feeding they’re dogs. I have stayed in some family / friends homes for a lengthy amount of time. I am free most days. I enjoy working out and would love to include walking your dogs in my workout. It will be fun for the both of us :) I will make sure your dog is happy and well taken care of. I am capable to make sure the house is all locked up and your dog is safe overnight.
About: I know the struggle is real when trying to find someone to watch your fur baby. Although, we haven't met in person, I hope to gain a bit of your trust for caring for your pet(s) with this short paragraph. Growing up, my family always had a "family" dog so since I was a young girl I have always enjoyed taking care of our pets. Now that I am an adult, I have made the choice to become a vegan because I believe all animals are worth fighting for. I spend most of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter. My husband and I have four dogs; all of which we adopted from a local shelter. Our families and friends tease us about how much we "spoil" and "pamper" our dogs, but to us, these furry creatures, are family. With all this said, I would be honored to help take care of your furry creatures by walking them when your schedule is pressed for time, going to your home to check in while you’re away, and all together showing them the love I believe all animals deserve. While deciding on my future career, I have a bit of time on my hands. I am currently available Monday through Friday to walk and play with your fur babies. I am also available for day or night check-ins at your home. Although, I can’t stay overnight with your pet(s), I am more than happy to go to your home several times throughout the day and spend time with your furry family while you are away. I will meet your pet’s needs in whatever environment you and your pet feel most comfortable! Does your pet need company for a few hours, a quick potty break, or a long walk? I am happy to help!

About: I have had cats all my life growing up! It is one of the one animals always around in our house or outside. I am very in tune with what a cats body language means and how to care for them. And yes- I can change a litter box and serve wet food! The smells do not bother me one bit.

“I was terrified to return to work after working from home when I got a new job. Rick made it easy! He made me feel comfortable leaving my girl with him. He is easy to work with, communicates well, and most of all loves my Rona like I do. Rona is anxious and has separation anxiety. After regular using Rick she is excited to be dropped off every morning. Rick is prompt in the mornings to meet us in the drive way which is a huge help for me getting to work on time. I would recommend Rick for all your dog related needs. I couldn't be happier with the experience. Rona and I love him!”

“Mariah is AMAZING!!! She came for a meet-and-greet with us and Maya before taking her on her first walk so that we’d have peace of mind, which was so thoughtful!!! She took such amazing care of our girl, took tons of photos, & left a detailed message about her time with Maya! We 10/10 recommend Mariah to take care of your pet. ♥️”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience with a wide range of pet needs—including puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medication. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific care requirements, which helps them feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including shy rescues and high-energy breeds, and I adapt my approach to suit their individual needs. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, monitor mobility, and ensure they’re comfortable at all times. For puppies, I reinforce basic training, encourage positive behaviors, and provide consistent structure. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and professionalism—and I always keep open communication with pet parents for peace of mind. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and receive attention through walks, playtime, or grooming, depending on their needs. I prioritize their well-being by observing their behavior and health regularly. Weekly, I handle deeper tasks like cleaning living areas, restocking supplies, and grooming. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I incorporate it into my routine with the same importance as any other essential responsibility. It reflects my commitment to their health, comfort, and happiness. I have 3 dogs of my own so I understand needing a break! I’m here to do my best and support you at the same time. My dogs each have their own schedules, giving their differences. We make sure they have regular doctor appointments, We walk everyday, We practice socializing and being around other fur babies to practice desensitizing. We follow certain diets and procedures to maintain proper health. And last but not least we take a bath every sunday go maintain our hygiene ❤️

About: I know the struggle is real when trying to find someone to watch your fur baby. Although, we haven't met in person, I hope to gain a bit of your trust for caring for your pet(s) with this short paragraph. Growing up, my family always had a "family" dog so since I was a young girl I have always enjoyed taking care of our pets. Now that I am an adult, I have made the choice to become a vegan because I believe all animals are worth fighting for. I spend most of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter. My husband and I have four dogs; all of which we adopted from a local shelter. Our families and friends tease us about how much we "spoil" and "pamper" our dogs, but to us, these furry creatures, are family. With all this said, I would be honored to help take care of your furry creatures by walking them when your schedule is pressed for time, going to your home to check in while you’re away, and all together showing them the love I believe all animals deserve. While deciding on my future career, I have a bit of time on my hands. I am currently available Monday through Friday to walk and play with your fur babies. I am also available for day or night check-ins at your home. Although, I can’t stay overnight with your pet(s), I am more than happy to go to your home several times throughout the day and spend time with your furry family while you are away. I will meet your pet’s needs in whatever environment you and your pet feel most comfortable! Does your pet need company for a few hours, a quick potty break, or a long walk? I am happy to help!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It is true what they say, they are a man’s best friend.

“Emily was wonderful with my dog and both seemed to enjoy themselves a lot! Stacy got a scrape from playing too hard (accidents happen) and Emily treated it right away and told me. She was flexible with pickup, drop-off, and available to meet before Stacy stayed over. I highly recommend her!”
