“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Tilly had a wonderful overnight with Bailey! (Kathy &Tim as well) We love the convenience of having a Rover right in our neighborhood. We appreciate the quick response we get from Kathy & Tim with answers to questions and updates on Tilly's care. Thank you so much!”
“Spencer was perfect! He was very attentive and caring. My dog is a 15 year old senior with medical issues and he was super open to giving pet sitting with him a try and cared for him just as well (if not better) than we would've. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely hope to get Spencer again next time we need a trusted sitter.”
“Angi was awesome with our pup! Her and her husband went above and beyond to provide the best care for our pup, who is usually anxious in new settings. Angi communicated great and sent lots of pictures and updates. Our pup is a border collie and they provided her with lots of good quality exercise. We will definitely use Angi for petcare again in the future! Thank you!!”
“I can not share enough how fantastic Abigail is! She is responsive and flexible when I needed to make some last minute changes, and my fur baby couldn't be happier staying with her! Her daily check ins are heartwarming and I am so thankful to have found such a great sitter!”
About: I love dogs, I've had two growing up. Unfortunately they are no longer with my family and I but my love for animals of course continuously grows🤎.I'm capable of taking them out (whether it be to play, enjoy the weather or have a potty break), feeding them and just enjoying their company :)! I’m frequently available!—at my house from 8 a.m- whatever time you need me on weekdays and on weekends I can take them in from 8 a.m- whatever time you need me to watch them for ! Any dogs are welcome at my house but I only will take them from one family at a time :)🤎! I’m currently unemployed, with my 2 siblings going back to school it makes it a lot easier for me to take on a “side job” such like this :)! A little about myself… I’ve grown up taking care of my family dogs, I enjoy going outside very often, I love caring for the others around me, and I have a lot of free time :)! My yard may not be fenced in but we do have a huge backyard and a lot of floor space in our downstairs of our house. We are a pet friendly household. Growing up, my family has had 2 dogs. Both small but the company they had given us was unmatchable 🥲.
“Karizma took care female husky, she has experience it’s huskies so when Sila seemed to be a bit anxious she communicated with me and we were able to see how Sila can be more comfortable during her stay. I appreciate the communication and care she demonstrated during sila’s stay.”
About: 2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed* I have generally open availability. I walk my own dog twice day with some longer walks reserved for training sessions. I am available after 4pm most weekdays and as needed on weekends. To the specifications of the owner. I take great care to not disrupt the life of my client pup too much just because their parents are out of town.
“Kristen was delightful, kind, knowledgeable, and caring towards us, as well as to our three dachshunds. She provided them a safe and comfortable place to stay and took them to the dog park everyday. Kristen also kept us updated on their fun adventures, meeting new friends, and when they were totally exhausted from a day full of activities with pictures and texts. I would recommend her 100%. Out puppies loved her!!!”
“Emily was amazing! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout our whole trip. I was so nervous to leave my lil guy behind but will definitely be using Emily again in the future!”
About: Hello! I recently moved here from Maryland. After losing our pup in 2023, we decided to wait a bit and last year, added two new fur babies to our house. I really missed that energy in the house. I have had pets my entire life & love my fur babies. I have 3 biological children & 3 step and all of them are animal lovers too :) Having just relocated, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am very open to helping with your needs for your fur baby. I do work a full day on Tuesdays and partial day on Wednesday’s. I will be happy to follow your instructions and schedule for your pet in your home or during walks. I am very courteous of others property and would treat your Home and pet as if they were my own, if not better.

About: Growing up I always had a family dog. More recently, I have taken care of many friends and family member's dogs over the years. Now I wanted to take that further and help out more people when they need their fur babies taken care of. I am a teacher so availability changes based on the season, but if I am able to help, I will! I am a teacher, so my availability does change based on the season. I have pretty flexible available hours during weekends, summers and school breaks. During the school year, I will be available on weekdays starting at 3:00pm. I do have a fenced in back yard which is very helpful for pets. For going to a clients house I do want to make sure that the area is safe. The dog is on a leash before going outside and knowing the kind of dog and the dog's needs.
“Abigail is wonder. She has worked with our pup Oakley and within 2 training sessions she’s acting like a different dog. I highly recommend Abigail to anyone that is reluctant on leaving their pup anywhere, she’s the best.”
“Spencer did an amazing job taking care of our dog. Spencer is very friendly and a nice person! We received great updates throughout the day along with plenty of adorable photos. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. Spencer took her on a good walk, made sure she had water and breaks, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely book again! Five stars.”
“She came to my house to meet my dog and answered my questions before the doggie day care service I was coordinating. Everyone went smoothly the day of, and Emily sent me pics and videos of my puppy playing with her dogs. He was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed himself. She was always very prompt in hey messaging with me. I would use Emily again in the future.”
“Our pup had a wonderful day. She played and played and is super relaxed and mellow. We got several reports on what she was doing, even pictures, over the day so we felt well informed. We definitely will ask Kathy and Tim to care for Mela in the future.”

About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, etc. Animals don't ask for much so we should try to give them the best life possible. I am not afraid to get dirty and clean up if your animal has an accident. I have a lot of availability right now. I don't have a 9 to 5 job so I can try to fit walks or visits to your schedule. I will double check any safety concerns you have. Whether your dog can be in yard by themselves or if you car is allowed outside at all. If I'm not sure of something I will always ask you first before I do anything.
