“Kendell was amazing with Theodore. She gave lots of thoughtful updates and was a rockstar when I had some flight disruptions and couldn’t get back on time. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a loving environment for their pup.”
“Our experience using Rover and Angel for the first time surpassed our expectations. From our initial meet and greet to our drop off, we felt confident that Tequila would be lovingly cared for by individuals in a home that was dog friendly with both indoor and outdoor areas for play and rest. We received daily notifications, photos and videos about T, allowing us to enjoy time away without worries. With additional trips planned, we look forward to leaving Tequila in Angel's care in the future.”
“Did a phenomenal job of caring for it cats while I moved into a new apartment post-divorce. Sent quite a few picture updates while respecting distance of the cat who likes her space. Would book again 😀”
“Ziggy had a great time with Rachel! He quickly made himself at home and loved cuddling, playing ball, and going on walks with her. Rachel made it easy to coordinate around my travel plans and kept me updated on how Ziggy was doing.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Katie for the love and care our pup Miles received on a recent weeklong stay with her. From our first Meet and Greet with her, we knew that she knows dogs and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to help Miles thrive. She is a dog expert with a big heart. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Stephanie was my first Rover sitter and I am so happy with the overall process! Cheddar is shy at first but Stephanie and her family allowed Cheddar to warm up and loved on her with lots of pets and belly rubs. I loved the photos I got throughout the day, seeing how happy she was and know she was sharing her happy gremlin sounds with Stephanie and her family. Thank you SO much!”
“Melinda was great with Muttley. she has a positive attitude .She knows alot about dogs and was very patient. We felt he was in safe hands. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.
“Lily literally came through when I needed a pet-sitter ASAP . I’m am so pleased / appreciative of her help picking up Prince and dropping him off. She definitely kelp me updated on him and how he got along with her dog. So I would definitely recommend Lily again . Thanks Lily 😊❤️”
“Amanda was amazing with my dog Coco! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Coco was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would absolutely trust Amanda to watch Coco again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”
“Dawn was fantastic. Took care of our little dog with some medical issues no problem. He was anxious at first, but by night two he was settled and happy. No anxiety and was super happy when we picked him up. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Joy was great!! She took Lilly to the park and made sure she was well taken care of. Joy has a great love for animals and it shows. I would be happy to leave Lilly with Joy anytime I’m away!!”
“This was Maggie’s second stay with Tami. She was extremely well cared for. Tami was great with daily updates and pictures, she really takes her work seriously and will let you know about any hiccups or if she should be doing something differently with your dog. Great attention to detail I will continue to use her!”
“Heidi is a gem! She took care of our pup for 4 days on ridiculously short notice and Immediately put us all at ease with her confidence and graciousness. Heidi's dog is a delightful plus. We felt so reassured during our time away knowing that Sully was in such capable hands. Thank you, Heidi! This is the start of a beautiful friendship.”
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”

“Javier took care of our two cats for 35 days. We were away and out of the US. We found the cats happy when we returned, and the apartment clean and in good shape. He sent us photos of the cats every day, which helped up feel less worried! Would definitely hire Javier again if we need help!”
“Sam was awesome! She’s clearly a true animal lover and was able to help out with our kitties (including giving them 2 different meds!) in a last minute request. She was always prompt and professional in her replies and sent lots of pictures of the kitties. Would highly recommend!!”
“If there were 6 stars available to rate Kimmy, I'd rate her a 7! One of the best Rover sitter experiences I've ever booked, and I've been using this service for 7 years. She is so attentive to my cat son's every need, keeps me fully updated with all the details about her visits with him, even left me a lovely welcome home card when I returned home ?. I was ready to leave Rover behind for good after my last sitter did such a poor job, but Kimmy turned all of that around. She listens, has an awesome way with my cat, and most importantly she is kind. Thank you, Kimmy! I can't wait to book you for Jub Jub again!”
“Karalyn was an absolutely stellar pet sitter for my two new kitties who I just adopted last week! I could not recommend her more, between her thoughtful care of my fur babies and home, to her detailed and responsive communication. This was my first Rover experience, which Karalyn could not have made smoother or more effortless when I was unable to change my previously scheduled work travel so soon into becoming a pet parent. Her professionalism and attention to detail are impeccable! Can’t wait to work with her again.”
“Ian did an awesome job taking care of my cat Edgar. Edgar requires extra grooming, and Ian handled it like a pro. This was our first experience with Ian and we will definitely use him again!”
“I’m so glad Reiley was available to watch our kitties for us while we were traveling for the holidays again! He is so good with them, even our blind kitty who is usually very shy just loves him! Thank you so much, Reiley!”

“Jenna was a fantastic sitter for our 2 boys. We came home to a nice, tidy house and very happy kitties. She even reached out during our stay to let us know we running low on cat litter which was very much appreciated (thank goodness to Instantcart). We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
About: Hello! I have been a dog owner and have kept aquariums both as a hobby and professionally for 10+ years. I have over 425 volunteer hours logged combined as an aquarist with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and with the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. As a personal assistant, baby sitter and dog sitter, I am professional, detail-oriented, friendly and motivated to engage with your pets and give the highest quality care I can. As of this summer, I have graduated with a Bachelors in Biology from UC Santa Cruz, where I worked within two different labs focused on invertebrate and fish research and husbandry tasks, as well as a front desk admin and floor manager at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. I currently work as a contract field scientist with the Bureau of Land Management, based in Santa Fe. I have a clean driving record and my own vehicle, and am flexible for overnights and check-ins, though do reach out to me to confirm my availability.

About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.
“Kendell was soo sweet and a big help as my cat Gizmo had medications to take. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos! She made me feel so comfortable, I knew my cat Gizmo was in good hands💕”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our little buddy today. We super appreciate you being able to take him last minute while we went on our adventure. Dominic is in great spirits, and we can tell he had a wonderful day with you. Thank you again, and we look forward to reaching out when we are back in Santa Fe.”
“We were visiting from out of state and last minute decided to explore downtown shopping dog free. Stephanie responded to our inquiry request right away which helped us enjoy our last day. Stephanie took great care of Frida. Frida can have some anxiety when in new places, but Stephanie's calm demeanor and close care made Frida feel right at home. She has great spaces, both indoors and outdoors, for the dogs to roam and settle in.”
“Kendell is excellent! We were worried about finding a sitter during a road trip, and we are lucky that Kendell was available to sit Bella for a couple of hours! She is very attentive and took good care of Bella, and even left us a summary of the walks she took her on and how Bella did with her dinner. We are extremely grateful!”

“Pawsitively a perfect experience! Jessica took this last minute request super early in the morning and took care of my pup as if he was her own. My pup had a blast playing with her furbabies and was in the BEST mood when I picked him up. Will 100% be using her again!”
“My Chiweenie Bug practically jumps out of the window when we turn onto Melissa's street. Her 3 dogs are the cutest and took to my dog immediately. He comes home happy and tired, what more can you ask for? And she even gave me a recipe for the food she makes for her dogs, and Bug looooves it.”
About: My husband and I have an Australian cattle dog and had a tabby cat who has crossed the rainbow road. I often care for my family members' dog when they are out of town. He requires special care, as he needs to take a few pills every day both day and night. This schedule is second nature to us. We enjoy being around our furry pals and will enjoy caring for yours too! They will be treated like our own pets and will benefit from being more socialized! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home and can easily adjust to your pets needs. I work a traditional schedule leaving my weekends especially open. I have a fenced in yard and our back door has a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as they please. We also have a large dog crate if your pet is kennel trained.

About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well

“THE BEST! My dog instantly fell in love with David and Spreckles. The level of care is unmatched, both in David’s knowledge about dogs and the opportunity for Romeo to wrestle and cuddle all day with a fantastic friend. On the second day we went, Romeo SPRINTED to the door and left me in the dust. Highly recommend!”
“My dog, Sissy is difficult to board as she's fearful and selective with both dogs and people. Melinda's quiet, easy manner was just what Sissy needs. Melinda didn't push anything and as a result Sissy was on her back asking for a belly rub shortly into her day visit. Melinda's dog, is completely and seemed to realize Sissy was scared. I'm hoping to book Melinda again soon for our 3 week upcoming Peru trip.”
About: Pets growing up were 3 dogs Lacy, Maya and Frodo as well as many kitties. Oso was my Cat, we had him from the time I was 4-14years old. We also had a chicken coop we were responsible for, horses that were our landlords but that we fed, and a fish tank with guppies and sucker fish. My 1st gig watching someone else’s pet, was for an elderly woman at my church when I was about 12. Milo was an older, golden retriever. I walked him, cleaned his outside restroom area, fed, bathed, and blow-dryed him. Family and friends have always reached out to me for help over the years, I have cared for all pets. Rottweilers, pit bulls, huskies, small dogs, handicap animals, both cats and dogs. I am great with communicating and accustomed to following the routines their owners have set for them as I believe that is most respectful. My schedule is either 8am-1pm or 2-8pm. I have a 1hour lunch and am home otherwise. I usually have 2 days off a week so will also be home on those days. I have stone floors, no carpet, and live in a non-smoking apartment. I have a small backyard with dirt area and kennel where they usually take small potty breaks aside from walks and dog parks!
“Abby had a great time with Eliza and Alejandro and came home tuckered after plenty of walks and cuddles. I have them booked again for two different days next week also. I appreciated the photo updates. THANKS!!”
“My boys were instantly comfortable with Cressandra. It was remarkable. They are shy dogs, but day 1 of doggy daycare they already did zoomies, made themselves at home on the couch, and ate their full meal.”

“Olivier was very accommodating of my last minute booking request. He provided my husky mix with quality care and was very sensitive to his exercise needs while also balancing the hot weather. Instead of just a neighborhood walk in the intense sun, he took the initiative to drive to a shadier park so my dog could still get outside time. He was very communicative and sent great photos. I would definitely rebook with Olivier in the future.”
“Trigger and I were passing through town, and I needed a pet sitter for a sightseeing opportunity. Trigger has PTSD and anxiety, and can't be left alone. Emma took me on short notice, did a quick meet and greet the day before, and then took very good care of him while I was gone. A long walk for Trigger, and she let him play in the river (with my permission of course!) , and then hosted him at her house til I got back. Excellent, professional pet sitter, and I hope this review brings more customers her way, because she is definitely two thumbs up!”
“Extended my booking on short notice and they got the job done. Excellent service! Very hospitable and nice. Even came to a meet and greet the day before the initial booking. Perfect service all around!”
“Violeta was great to work with. She walked one of my dogs so I had time to train another and was responsible, kind, and communicative. If I were not temporarily relocating, I definitely would have continued working with her!”

About: I'm new to caring for dogs professionally, I've dog and cat sat for my neighbor several times over the last three years.

I've always felt a kindred spirit for animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care. From feeding, to bathing, and walking there isn't any dog I haven't enjoyed taking care of or spending time with. I recently lost my sweet boy who was in my life for seven years as he was an elder dog when I adpoted him and that's what brought me to Rover. I can guarantee your pet will be well cared for with me. I have a pretty open schedule right now since I only work part-time. I'm available after 3 pm Monday - Wednesday and have full availibility Thursday - Sunday to care for your fur baby. I'm available for boarding on weekends and can come to your fur baby as well if they prefer being at home. You can have peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be cared for with full attention to detail. I can ensure a peaceful and calm environment when caring for your pets especailly senior pets who enjoy peace and quiet. If your pet needs a lot of outside time, walks are my specialty. Whatever your pet needs are I can accomodate. I'm always open to meeting with you and your pet to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

About: I am mid 40's; active, love my 4-legged kiddos (tri-pod included) like they are my children, and really enjoy working with dogs of all shapes & sizes. I'm currently new to Santa Fe, looking for something more to fill my day. I have always had dogs & volunteered in dog rescue. I currently travel quite often so I thought this might be a flexible way to earn some money & learn more about Santa Fe. I currently have 2 dogs that I walk daily, exercise for their mental stability is so important. I couldn't imagine treating your dog any differently.
“Lana is great! Very communicative. Keeps me super up to date. Really goes above and beyond when trying to form a bond with a dog. My dog can be a stubborn and shy girl when it comes to new people, and Lana has really taken the time to let my dog get to know her with a great deal of patience.”
“Angel takes such great care of our pup! She’s quick to respond and flexible with our schedule. Can tell from the pictures she sends that our dog is happy and enjoys walks with Angel.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 9 years and absolutely adore being around them. I can work on basic trainings for puppies, play hard with them, or give them the long walk they need. For senior dogs, I love to give them all the snuggles and pets they need :) seeing them happy makes me happy. Im currently working part time and have a very flexible work schedule, leaving plenty of time to let your dog out, play, or walk your pup during weekdays. Safety is huge when it comes to me watching your pup. Depending on your dog and safety protocols, I will follow them strictly (only allowed in a fenced yard, always leashed on a walk, etc).
About: Hello, I’m Madison! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, neighbors, and family. Spending my extra time with animals is truly one of my favorite things. What sets me apart is how genuinely I care. I don’t just walk or watch your sweet fur baby. I pay attention to who they are. Their little routines, their quirks, what makes them excited, and what helps them feel safe. I treat every dog like a friend I’m lucky to hang out with, and I always want them to feel comfortable and loved while they’re with me. If you’d like to meet or just chat about your pet’s needs, I’d be so happy to connect. I can’t wait to get to know your sweet fur baby. 💛🐾 I work full-time during the week, but weekends are when I’m most flexible, so I’m happy to plan walks or visits whenever your pet needs them. When I’m dog sitting, I typically stop by every 2–3 hours for potty breaks and check-ins. If you prefer overnight care, I can stay with your pup to make sure they feel safe and have plenty of company, but I’m also happy to follow whatever routine works best for you. I love getting outside, so if you’d like your dog to go on walks, I’m more than happy to take them out to stretch their legs and burn off some energy!
About: I volunteered for the internship at Save A Dog in Sudbury, Mass., back in 2020. Helped them clean and gave plenty of lovely attention. I also dog-sat several dogs for four years during college and experienced house-sitting for a lovely couple for three weeks in summer 2024. I love doing my job as I treat them as my own. I will make sure dogs have a blast time and are loved while they are with me. I over-communicate by sending updated texts and pictures, or videos. I would say you come to the right dog sitter here who loves dogs like crazy. Since I got a full-time job on night shifts, I am only available during the weekdays until around 2 and weekends (sometimes for the week!) for any service, I will have enough time to adore and care for your pets. Unless you are okay with leaving your dog with my dog, while I go away for work and my partner will be home at 4:30-5 pm so he can take care of the dogs too (he is also a Rover sitter!) - that is cool with me too. My dog would love the company! I would be more than happy to comply with your request as well. I also have my sweetest 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier and 1-year-old dachshund mix who loves playing or cuddling with others. I am more than happy to accommodate your pets smoothly if needed. Both of my pups are social butterflies! Let me know if you have more questions. I know trust may not be easy, but trust is my priority for our relationship. I am an open book, so do not hesitate to ask anything about me.
About: I have grown up with cats pet sat for my neighbors and help take care 14 cats at my dad office I also have a diabetic cat of my own I take care of. Every morning/evening I give my cat his insulin feed him and my other three make sure their litter boxes are clean and let them outside in my backyard for play time. we have a wall guarding our backyard and when letting the cats out I stay outside with them to watch make sure they are safe
“Melanie did a great job with Olive! She communicated with me daily while I was on a trip and she was consistent with her arrival times. I think Olive did great while I was away and I will definitely ask melanie to watch/ walk her again.”
About: My love for dogs and cats started young, so I made it my career. I worked in the veterinary field for six years! I started as a receptionist and then decided to become a veterinary technician. I have my veterinary assisting certification from Pima medical Institute. Now I am home full time with my daughter and am able to offer your pet all day company and care. I love being a Rover sitter because it allows me to still work with animals. I specialize in boarding your doggies and kitties in my home or going out to your place for drop in visits. It is important for me to provide an interactive experience for your pets and to make sure they feel comfortable. I provide playtime during my visits to burn off extra energy, as well as monitoring potty habits and food water intake. My care procedures are base on your pet’s specific needs and you will always receive updates from every visit. Of course, I am knowledgeable in administering medications in any form and can help access your pets medical needs while you are away. I am more that happy to care for pets that have medical needs or seniors that need this extra care. I know that choosing a caretaker for your pet can be a hard choice so I think meet and greets are a great way to make sure you’re comfortable and know your pet is in good hands! Pets have free range of the main house. There are gated off areas to give the resident kitties privacy. I am home full time. I tried to mimic your pet schedule the best I can in my own home or when I come to visit. I have a fenced in backyard. My dog is friendly with other dogs and cats. I always encourage meet and greets with dogs for safety purposes. I make sure pets do not have access to entry doors.

“Our experience using Rover and Angel for the first time surpassed our expectations. From our initial meet and greet to our drop off, we felt confident that Tequila would be lovingly cared for by individuals in a home that was dog friendly with both indoor and outdoor areas for play and rest. We received daily notifications, photos and videos about T, allowing us to enjoy time away without worries. With additional trips planned, we look forward to leaving Tequila in Angel's care in the future.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Katie for the love and care our pup Miles received on a recent weeklong stay with her. From our first Meet and Greet with her, we knew that she knows dogs and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to help Miles thrive. She is a dog expert with a big heart. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Stephanie was my first Rover sitter and I am so happy with the overall process! Cheddar is shy at first but Stephanie and her family allowed Cheddar to warm up and loved on her with lots of pets and belly rubs. I loved the photos I got throughout the day, seeing how happy she was and know she was sharing her happy gremlin sounds with Stephanie and her family. Thank you SO much!”
“Melinda was great with Muttley. she has a positive attitude .She knows alot about dogs and was very patient. We felt he was in safe hands. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.

I received lots of updates and photos.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I grew up with a dachshund and now have a Bernedoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from little lap dogs to energetic, larger pups. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I provide attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog's individual needs. Services include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering basic medications if needed, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy keeping dogs active through outdoor play, neighborhood walks, and enrichment activities while also respecting the routines and preferences that help them feel comfortable. My home has a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I've been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I previously owned a Dachshund and currently have a friendly Bernedoodle, giving me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've spent years looking after pets for family and friends, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand the importance of clear communication, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of the day with the pets in my care. This means they'll receive frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, lots of attention, and very little time left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and happy while you're away. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and dependable care, and I strive to make them feel like part of my own family from the moment they arrive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing at home, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away.
“David was an amazing sitter for my two dogs! He took so much care in meeting and acclimating them with his own and it was so easy to see how much he truly loves dogs. I received photos and videos along the whole stay and knew the entire time my babies were happy and cared for. Thank you so much!!”
