“Cherie was very communicative and flexible with timings. Sent me photos of Ralphie and he definitely looked very happy staying with her. Will use her services again in the future.”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter. Lucille was great! She maintained great contact and was very in tuned to the nuances of each dog. I was thrilled that the dogs got exercise and went on lots of walks! Would definitely use Lucille again!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
“Yingying was fantastic with Ace and I knew he was safe, which made my time away stress-free. I would have loved more photo updates but overall, I was very pleased. Would definitely recommend and will book again if/when needed.”
“Jessica was very attentive. She paid close attention to my dog, Teddy, and kept him busy and happy. She sent adorable pictures frequently and spent a lot of outdoor time with Teddy walking and playing with him. I felt very comfortable with Jessica. She showed strong knowledge about dogs and a clear love for them as well. I absolutely recommend Jessica for anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“This was Charlie’s first stay with Mercis. Charlie is very choosy with new boarders. He was very comfortable with Mercis from the first time he met her. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos during the whole stay. Charlie has a great time! We will definitely board Charlie again with her. Highly recommend Mercis for your boarding needs!!”
“Salish is what every dog owner hopes to find. A competent, caring, dog sitter. Her little daughter is a delight and Oscar enjoyed her company. We've already booked her for our camping trip in October after just having her sit our Yorkie this Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommended.”
“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”

“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Extremely professional from first contact until now, she made me feel like a valuable customer, truly excited to be taking our dog. Accommodating, friendly, and most importantly LOVED our dog. Frequent photos and updates, I feel like our dog had a vacation too! Thank you so much!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the yard if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“This was our second time boarding our puppy for a week with Alyssa and we once again had an amazing experience!! Such a relief to know our puppy is so well cared for and having just as much fun as we are while we are on vacation :)”
“Julia is AMAZING and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup with her when he wasn't feeling 100%. She gave me updates as needed and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing Julia was willing and able to do what was needed to make Lincoln feel comfortable and at home!”

“Stephanie was amazing. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is kind and considerate, trustworthy, punctual, and amazing with my cat. I recently lost my other cat a few weeks before I left for vacation, and Stephanie came twice a day, every day, and made sure my remaining cat, Marley, was kept company and alright through his grief and my absence. I’m pretty sure Marley likes Stephanie more than he likes me now!! During her check ins Stephanie sent tons of photos and videos of him and it was something I looked forward to everyday. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough and I look forward to having her over again the next time I am away. Thank you Stephanie!!!!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of my duabetic cat who needed insulin shots and a special diet. I recieved updates &pictures after every visit and could see how relaxed my cat was around Amanda. Iwas able to enjoy my time away without having any concerns. Thanks Amanda!?”
“Yary watched our cats two weekends in a row and was great! The cats love her and she provided lots of fun photos of the visits. She’s reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Thanks again, Yary!”
About: I grew up always having at least one dog in my home, I now have two. I was tasked with feeding, walking, and playing with them. Often times when neighbors and friends would go out of town I would look after their pets, staying at their house when needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week, I am booked from 11am to 1pm most of the week and from 11am to 4pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On the weekends I often go away, but I can likely be available if requested. When caring for someone’s pet I always make sure to follow the instructions given. This can rang from their diet, to their bathroom / walking schedule, to whatever else they may need.
“Julian took fantastic care of our cat, Clementine, while we were away. We were a little anxious about leaving our cat overnight for the first time, but Julian met up with me ahead of time to meet Clementine, go over care instructions, and address any concerns I had. The daily updates and photos were detailed and thoughtful and truly put my mind at ease. Julian even did an extra drop-in on very short notice due to our flight back being delayed - truly above and beyond service! I would highly recommend Julian and would absolutely book again in the future.”
“This is the second time Lisa has looked after our cat and she did a great job! Our little guy is very wary of new people but she was very patient and her updates and pics were great. Will absolutely rebook with Lisa!”
“I have used Cassidy twice now and she is wonderful. My cat and I took to her right away! She is such a warm, genuine, caring person and very trustworthy. She is a rare gem and I am so happy to find her. Thank you Cassidy for doing what you do! ❤️”
“OMG we went on vacation for three weeks and left our cat and our home in the care of Lilian, who was a rockstar. She took care of everything, followed all of our instructions and when we came home this time our cat was completely at ease. Usually when we return home from vacation, whether it's a week or longer and we have somebody stop in, we hear it from the cat for a good two weeks waking us up early in the morning rauling, but this time Bella just showed love and has been 100% normal. We would hire her again in our heartbeat. Best decision we ever made!”
“Jessica was outstanding handling my dog Zeus who's very difficult because her his size at times. She was able to get him to relax and she played with him and stay the extra time with them because she just loves animals. I've tried other cities and without a doubt she's the best one I've come across. Zeus gets all excited when he sees her and that tells me everything I need to know because he doesn't take well with everybody. If you can use her you should You won't be disappointed she's awesome and I highly recommend her.”
“Liz is fantastic! She cared for my two cats and did a wonderful job. My Maine Coon is very cautious around new people and he connected with Liz very quickly. She came over for a meet and greet before our sitting dates and followed all of the items I had discussed with her on each visit. Great person to work with. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, when I got my first cat. My parents wanted to teach me the responsibility that comes with having a pet, and from that moment on I developed a lifelong love for animals. As I got older, I began helping neighbors by walking their dogs, refreshing food and water, and providing companionship throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for multiple pets in a household, providing drop-in visits, and offering overnight care when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession and a central part of my daily routine. For the past two years, I have worked in the pet care industry full-time, which allows me to dedicate my schedule to meeting the needs of the pets and families I serve. My days are structured around walks, drop-in visits, feedings, medication administration, playtime, and providing companionship and care. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I do not currently have a fenced yard, I provide supervised leash walks and leashed outdoor time in my yard to ensure pets can safely enjoy fresh air and exercise. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs and always follow owner instructions regarding routines, safety preferences, and care requirements. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm environment and focus my attention on the pets in my care. I am comfortable using crates when requested and can maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable during their stay. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Arianna is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of my two cats. Every visit, she took several pictures of her sitting with and petting the cats, and they very clearly liked her. Thank you Arianna!”
“Adriana was amazing at taking care of my cat, Blu. She fed him wet food, made sure his dry food was full, took care of his litter and played with him and kept him company. She was very kind to Blu and Blu definitely loved when she was here! She was great! Highly recommended!!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy or independent. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, and I always approach them with patience and respect for their space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and behavioral cues, so your cat stays comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also experienced with administering basic medications and caring for senior cats when needed. You’ll receive consistent updates and photos, so you can feel confident your cat is safe, cared for, and in a clean, peaceful environment. I treat every home with respect and every cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. I’m especially great with shy or nervous cats and take the time to build trust at their pace.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since a kid of all kinds, ages, and sizes. It started with family who would go on trips and left them with me and has evolved into friends, coworkers and acquaintances of all kinds trusting me with their pet while they’re away or at work. This goes for dogs and cats. I am punctual, very patient and open to working with your schedule and changing mine if I need to. I can accommodate your needs including cleaning up after, feeding, walking, bathing your pet and more. I’m Open-minded, energetic and a very positive and active person for those dogs that need a longer walk/run or pets with more extensive care needs. I am your trustworthy pet caretaker at your service, rain or shine. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter cleaning, caring for and walking the dogs. I’ve also “adopted a dog for a day” whenever I’m out of state (a few times a year) to help care for the dogs and give them exposure to help get them adopted. I am a mom of an 8year old and I work part time and mostly weekends so I can spend extra time playing and caring for your pets! Especially during the week , mainly mornings and afternoons. Can do evenings and nights as requested. Mondays I am available: 9am-1pm, Tuesdays through Thursdays : 9am-3pm. Fridays after 6pm. Saturdays & Sundays: 6am-1pm. I am also open to change some of these times and work with your schedule ! At this time I cannot bring pets to my home (due to where I live temporarily otherwise I’d have one) but I am happy to commute as much as needed. Whatever your rules & requirements are will be followed precisely and efficiently and I love to clean. Minor children in the home will be supervised during any bookings.
About: My love for dogs started at the age of 7. Ever since then, I'm always looking for dogs from neighbors, friends, family, parents co-workers etc..., to do drop-in visits, dog walks, and to play with them and nurture them in general! I also picked up a great handful of tricks on how to train and make a puppy obientant from the classes I took my puppy to for training. When I got my second pup, I've used the knowledge that I learned when I took my first puppy to training and it worked out fantastically! I'm currently an online student and flexible, so I would love to nurture your pets and to play with them! I'm available on weekends and weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walking, and if the service you were looking for isn’t listed, message me and guarantee I will best accommodate to it:) I have a fenced backyard and a great amount of space for your fur babies to play in. Along with toys they can engage in and have fun with and blankets for naps, so they never get bored and are always happy and entertained:) I also make sure to take them on their daily walks to keep them in shape and healthy.
About: I’ve been around cats for most of my life and have experience caring for friends’ cats while they’re away. I’m also a proud auntie to several beloved “nephew and niece” cats who hold a special place in my heart. I love the unique personalities that cats have and understand that each one has different needs and preferences. Whether a cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved, I’m happy to provide the care, attention, and routine that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been around dogs the last 20 years and I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 14 years of my life. I love them and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve learned everything I know from my parents who’ve had dogs for 32 years I am 100% free and available whenever you may need I prefer having two days heads up before I can make the plan, but I can also show up For same-day visits as needed I have 2 3-year-old Samoyed girls that are absolute sweethearts who would love to have another puppy or dog hanging out in our fenced in back yard , I can crate your dog easily if needed.

“Alyssa was able to take my dog last minute which was a huge help. My dog had a great time and was taken good care of. It was great she was able to play with other dogs in a fenced in yard.”
About: I am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed
“Donnie is amazing. Not only is he beyond accommodating with pick up and drop off times but more importantly he clearly has a passion for dogs and treats our pup like his own. He is gentle with the dogs, interactive, and helps out with any training questions we have. 110% recommend him to anybody looking for a sitter, or trainer.”
“Ok, so Lola and I are quite picky. Lola has come home very happy over all the days that she has been over. She’s been walked, fed, and got to play with other dogs. I’m extremely happy with her care. :)”
“Lucille is fantastic! She is very caring and kind. She is so easy work with and very accommodating. She took very good care of Kona and sent me pictures and updates through the stay. I am looking forward to having Kona stay with Lucille again soon! It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and reliable to care for my beloved dog at times when I cannot.”
About: Caring for animals has always been at the heart of my home and my life. I share my space with a senior dog and two cats, all of whom are treated as cherished family members. My dog is a rescue I welcomed at 2 years old—she initially struggled with anxiety and trust, but through patience, compassion, self-education, and consistent training, she has grown into an incredibly gentle and loving companion. I also opened my home to my older cat after she was abandoned and had the joy of raising her kitten, who is now my second cat. They are both calm, affectionate, and bring so much warmth into my home. Beyond my own pets, I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years. Since my teenage years, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in care for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family, as well as helping care for stray cats in my community. These experiences have shaped my approach to pet care—I am attentive, dependable, and committed to going above and beyond. From maintaining a safe, comforting environment to providing thoughtful, well-balanced meals, every detail matters. Each pet in my care is treated with the same kindness, respect, and dedication I give my own, because I truly believe they are family. 🦮🍽️ For Drop-Ins & Walks— I am Available Monday–Saturday from 7:00–10:30 AM and 8:00–9:00 PM. Some Thursdays/Saturdays + all Sundays are flexible based on your needs. ☀️🏡For Doggy Day Care— hours of care range from 6am-6pm including pick-up/drop-off time. 🌙🏠For Boarding (In-Home Care)— as a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and available 7 days a week for boarding. Feedings can be provided 2–4 times daily depending on your pet’s routine. Walks + playtime typically take place between 7:00–10:00 AM, with additional engagement throughout the day. Dogs are let out every 3–4 hours for bathroom breaks to ensure comfort and consistency. I’m happy to adjust routines to match your pet’s specific needs and schedule. Your pet(s) safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, welcoming home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood perfect for walks. Do you have a dog that isn’t so keen on canine companionship? Not to worry! We provide a split yard, and my dog is good at respecting boundaries if another dog isn’t interested in interactions. This is a kennel-free home, however we do have a kennel indoor if that is a part of your pet(s) safety routine. Other than that I provide a dog bed or if your dog is a snuggler, they are welcome to sleep on the bed with me. My senior dog is gentle and playful, offering a calm companionship to your fur baby. My cats keep to themselves and if needed, I can always separate pets who aren’t comfortable with one another. I have a separate litter box for your cat(s) to use that is kept in another area of the home to prevent any territory conflict. Overall, I create a structured, supervised environment where every pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home.
“Sergio goes above and beyond with the care for your pets. We have two not so little rascals and they had so much fun while at day care with Sergio. He even taught me a few things about handling two leash pullers.”
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for my own dog, Milano, as well as family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, basic training, and providing a safe, attentive, and nurturing environment for both dogs and cats! Hi! My name is Lindsey, and I’m a stay-at-home mom who provides loving, reliable pet care right from my home. I spend my days home with my two children, which means your pet will receive constant attention, supervision, and affection. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime, or sticking to their normal routine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also have a small, friendly Chihuahua named Milano who is almost 1 year old. He is very playful, gentle, and loves meeting new friends. Because I’m home full-time, your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I can provide a calm, attentive environment. I always recommend meet-and-greets when possible before booking, so your pet can meet my children and Milano and you can see my home. This helps ensure everyone is comfortable and it’s the best fit for your pet’s stay. 🏡 My Home & Environment • Safe, clean, and pet-friendly home • Calm family environment with lots of supervision • My children are gentle, respectful, and love animals • Pets are never left unattended • Plenty of playtime, attention, and care throughout the day I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Great experience—very communicative and kept me updated with photos. It was clear my dog had an amazing time playing with her dogs, because he came home happily tired. I will book again!”
About: I bring genuine care and patience to every dog I work with. I’ve personally cared for a Husky for the past 4 years, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, consistency, and handling high-energy dogs with confidence. Huskies require a lot of patience and structure, which has helped me become very attentive to dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also have experience walking other dogs of different sizes and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help reinforce basic training, maintain routines, provide regular exercise, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m especially good with energetic breeds, shy dogs that need patience, and dogs who thrive on companionship and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I make time each day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care. I have a Fenced in yard, so sometimes I will let them run around the back yard, play fetch. And after a few minutes take them on a quick walk. I update Dog parents with Videos and photos so they get updates on there dogs well being and i will always ask for specific diets dogs may have so there routine doesn't change when they're in my care!
“Cheryl has a great setup and is a dog lover and incredible resource! We had a meet and greet prior to the day I dropped off my 4 month old puppy and I felt at ease leaving her there (her first daycare experience which could’ve been nerve wracking but I knew she’d be in great hands). My pup was tired from playing and learning from the other dogs there and slept so well after! I will be using Cheryl’s services again in the future!”
“Julie and her family were great and provided excellent piece of mind. The interview process was very helpful to make sure that it would be a good fit and we got a lot of useful updates during our dog's stay.”
“Sindy was fantastic with Tyler! They went on several walks, and they spent most of the day outside exploring. He loved every minute of it! I would definitely request Sindy again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone. I has plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for each pet with love and attention. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it a safe and peaceful place for walks and play. Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 16 and my love and connection and knowledge has only grown stronger for animals Right now I have plenty of time since it’s winter to take care of any pets, I prefer noon time or 12 and after that I have a two floor house plenty of room for a pet to enjoy himself and feel at home I had a round fenced backyard as well as stream in back of the fence
About: We believe in caring for dogs’ emotional needs as much as their physical ones. That means lots of attention, playtime, and a calm, structured environment. We host one guest dog at a time (or a bonded pair) to ensure each pup receives personalized care and feels at home. With work-from-home adults and a large fenced backyard, your dog will have plenty of human interaction, room to roam, and time to relax indoors with our friendly labradoodle, Penny. We also enjoy taking 1–2 walks a day (sometimes more!) and welcome visiting dogs to join if they'd like — though we understand some prefer to stay home and chill. We've raised two doodle puppies ourselves and are happy to care for your puppy too! We work from home and rarely have commitments that take us out for more than a few hours. Penny keeps us on a healthy routine, and we truly enjoy how dogs get us outside and moving — it’s good for everyone! We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of squirrels, chipmunks, and bunnies to keep things interesting! Visiting dogs can play outside with our labradoodle, Penny, or lounge comfortably indoors. They’re welcome on the couch or can relax on a dog bed nearby while we work. We keep things low-key and structured, with lots of attention and calm energy throughout the day. We also take time to reassure visiting dogs that their parent(s) will be back soon — and that this is a fun place to explore in the meantime! We give each pup a tour of the house when they arrive, showing them where they can go and helping them settle in. It’s part of how we help them feel safe and at home right from the start.

“Lea was wonderful. Our 2 labs are 5 and 6 yo and this was the very first time we used someone outside of our inner circle. Lea made ua feel comfortable and confident in their care. We reached out last minute On a Monday for a Thurs/Fri booking and she was able to fit us in. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs.”

About: I have taken care of pets in the past for family members and would like to do it for other people! i have always loved spending time with animals. I am young and have the energy to run around with puppies and high energy dogs. I can also take care of senior dogs who just want to sleep. Anything you need I can do! I am currently in school and have pretty open availability! I am always free on the weekends and can always pet sit! Whether is the morning or the afternoon I can do it! If you prefer, I can pet sit at your house to make your pet comfortable and not stress them out. I can take them out for walks and runs as well!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, when I got my first cat. My parents wanted to teach me the responsibility that comes with having a pet, and from that moment on I developed a lifelong love for animals. As I got older, I began helping neighbors by walking their dogs, refreshing food and water, and providing companionship throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for multiple pets in a household, providing drop-in visits, and offering overnight care when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession and a central part of my daily routine. For the past two years, I have worked in the pet care industry full-time, which allows me to dedicate my schedule to meeting the needs of the pets and families I serve. My days are structured around walks, drop-in visits, feedings, medication administration, playtime, and providing companionship and care. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I do not currently have a fenced yard, I provide supervised leash walks and leashed outdoor time in my yard to ensure pets can safely enjoy fresh air and exercise. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs and always follow owner instructions regarding routines, safety preferences, and care requirements. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm environment and focus my attention on the pets in my care. I am comfortable using crates when requested and can maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable during their stay. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Our puppy loves Sarah! Sarah is very reliable, and takes our puppy on long walks and plays in backyard. She helped us out a lot while we were on vacation, knowing our puppy was in great hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since a kid of all kinds, ages, and sizes. It started with family who would go on trips and left them with me and has evolved into friends, coworkers and acquaintances of all kinds trusting me with their pet while they’re away or at work. This goes for dogs and cats. I am punctual, very patient and open to working with your schedule and changing mine if I need to. I can accommodate your needs including cleaning up after, feeding, walking, bathing your pet and more. I’m Open-minded, energetic and a very positive and active person for those dogs that need a longer walk/run or pets with more extensive care needs. I am your trustworthy pet caretaker at your service, rain or shine. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter cleaning, caring for and walking the dogs. I’ve also “adopted a dog for a day” whenever I’m out of state (a few times a year) to help care for the dogs and give them exposure to help get them adopted. I am a mom of an 8year old and I work part time and mostly weekends so I can spend extra time playing and caring for your pets! Especially during the week , mainly mornings and afternoons. Can do evenings and nights as requested. Mondays I am available: 9am-1pm, Tuesdays through Thursdays : 9am-3pm. Fridays after 6pm. Saturdays & Sundays: 6am-1pm. I am also open to change some of these times and work with your schedule ! At this time I cannot bring pets to my home (due to where I live temporarily otherwise I’d have one) but I am happy to commute as much as needed. Whatever your rules & requirements are will be followed precisely and efficiently and I love to clean. Minor children in the home will be supervised during any bookings.
“Sean was terrific! It was the first time I trusted anyone with the boys and I couldn’t be happier! Sean went above and beyond what was asked and expected. Both Jax and Rocky came back from their adventure with such huge smiles on their faces, and I could tell they’re looking forward to the next adventure with him. I highly recommend Sean if you want to be at ease with whom you leave your pets with and open your home to. You won’t regret it. Thank you Sean!!”
“Sheylah has been great with both of our dogs! She is proactive in her communication, and our dogs have a blast on their walks. We would highly recommend Sheylah to anyone seeking a caring and responsible dog walker!”
About: I've taken pet care seriously since my childhood dog passed away several years ago. I have taken care of senior dogs, and currently a hyperactive dog I've had since she was 3 months old. I previously worked at Petsmart, so I can administer medication to a variety of pets, including lizards and birds! You can trust me with your puppy, houstrained or not, up to your oldest, biggest dog. I also take care of the family cat and love spending time with cats in general. During the weekdays and weekends I have all the time in the world for your pet as needed! Early days or late nights are just fine. Whatever your pet wants or needs, I can give 100%. They can get up on the couch with me, I will give them long walks and they'll get plenty of belly rubs and treats! For cats they're such picky little rascals that I will adjust to their needs, whether that's playing or giving them space.
“Nathan’s communication is top notch and his love of dogs is immediately evident. I was nervous about letting someone into my home to care for my dog when I had to return to the office full time, but I am very comfortable with Nathan. I highly recommend.”
“Carly was able to accommodate a last minute walk for our dog. She sent a report and it showed how long and where they walked, this gave me peace of mind knowing he was walked adequately. I have used rover in the past and other walkers have not used this feature. We would be happy to have Carly walk our dog again in the future.”

“Cherie was very communicative and flexible with timings. Sent me photos of Ralphie and he definitely looked very happy staying with her. Will use her services again in the future.”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter. Lucille was great! She maintained great contact and was very in tuned to the nuances of each dog. I was thrilled that the dogs got exercise and went on lots of walks! Would definitely use Lucille again!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Yingying was fantastic with Ace and I knew he was safe, which made my time away stress-free. I would have loved more photo updates but overall, I was very pleased. Would definitely recommend and will book again if/when needed.”
“Jessica was very attentive. She paid close attention to my dog, Teddy, and kept him busy and happy. She sent adorable pictures frequently and spent a lot of outdoor time with Teddy walking and playing with him. I felt very comfortable with Jessica. She showed strong knowledge about dogs and a clear love for them as well. I absolutely recommend Jessica for anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”
“Monica took care of my little (rescue) rat terrier overnight. She did an excellent job! My dog is anxious and Monica was very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures and kept me informed about my dog's experience throughout the stay. I am looking forward to my next booking with Monica!”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Extremely professional from first contact until now, she made me feel like a valuable customer, truly excited to be taking our dog. Accommodating, friendly, and most importantly LOVED our dog. Frequent photos and updates, I feel like our dog had a vacation too! Thank you so much!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the yard if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“This was our second time boarding our puppy for a week with Alyssa and we once again had an amazing experience!! Such a relief to know our puppy is so well cared for and having just as much fun as we are while we are on vacation :)”
“Julia is AMAZING and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup with her when he wasn't feeling 100%. She gave me updates as needed and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing Julia was willing and able to do what was needed to make Lincoln feel comfortable and at home!”
“This was our first extended time away from our girl Olive and we were nervous about leaving her. We wanted to find a home away from home for her and Ann is a perfect fit. She is a wonderful communicator and her updates and videos allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. Ann and Peter lavished Olive with plenty of love and attention (and homemade treats)! Ann is truly passionate about providing the best possible environment for the animals in her care. Thank you, Ann and Peter, we look forward to Olive’s next stay with you!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Diane & her family were great with my dog. They treated him as their own! They have a fantastic fenced in yard that wore our pup out because he had so much fun playing with her dogs all day! I will definitely be in contact with Diane again in the future.”
