About: Ive been around pets my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owners instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe abs comfortable while they're in my care I currently work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays, and Saturdays, ( sometimes they don’t schedule me all days) and I attend college during the week. My school schedule is fairly flexible with no more than two classes per day, usually lasting around 2 hours each. This gives me plenty of time between classes and work to care for pets, provide walks, drop in visits, and spend time with pets staying with me. I'm also available for boarding and overnight care. On weekdays, drop-off and pickup times may need to be arranged around my class schedule, but I'm happy to work with owners to find a time that works for both of us. My days off from work are Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, so I have even more flexibility on those days. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and bathroom breaks based on their normal routine. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while there away from home. In a clients home, I follow the owners instructions closely and try to keep the pets routine as normal as possible. I'm respectful of the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet gets the care, attention, walks, feeding, and companionship they need. I'm also happy to send updates and photos do owners know how their pet is doing.
“Teah and Eric were great. I received many photo updates while we were gone. No doubt Tootsie was being well cared for and getting lots of love and attention. Thank you Teah and Eric!!”
“Melissa kept up updated with pictures of our boy daily. He seemed to have had so much fun playing with their other dogs. Thank you for snuggling him and treating him like your own!”
“Brendan was absolutely great navigating our Payton. He has high anxiety but was through the roof as he had never stayed with a stranger before. He was patient and understanding. He kept in touch and sent pics.”
“Chrissy did great with my Willow! I was at a loss with having people watch her due to her anxiety and rowdiness but while she was with Chrissy she seemed to get plenty of play time and I got photos while she was there! I’ll definitely be using her again! Highly recommend.”
“Bella loves to stay at Sandy’s. Bella had plenty of room to run in Sandy’s yard and she loved playing in the little wading pool that Sandy provided on the hot days during Bella’s stay. We had daily updates on Bella through pictures and video. Sandy is an awesome dog watcher and Bella is looking forward to her next stay!”
“Alej was so sweet to my fur baby. She sent update a pic of Thor for his overnight stay. She really seems to love pets. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Alej 😀.”
“Patricia is an extraordinary dog sitter! From the moment we met her to drop off Novak, she was extremely friendly and attentive, and we could tell that we’d made the right choice for his care. She sent many photos and videos of Novak having a great time with her sweet dogs and texted updates as well. When it was time for Novak to go, she sent him off with a toy as well! If in this area again, we’d definitely board Novak with Patricia!”
“Siri was an excellent care taker for my baby Pom! She was there with my pet the entire weekend. Helped me discover a food brand my dog likes. I thank Siri so much for making Suga feel at home. I plan to use her again!”

“Lisa was friendly, prepared and helpful during our meet and greet visit. Looking forward to having her help with my two sweet kitties while on vacation. Thanks, Lisa!”
“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”
About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for 6 years. I have worked and care for many cats over the past 6 years. Working in an animal shelter gave me the opportunity to work with cats of all ages and all temperaments. I am fear free certified and utilize those techniques with all animals I interact with. I am comfortable playing with cats using anything that is engaging to them, feeding, medicating, and cleaning the litter box when needed. Please let me know any special needs, behaviors, or quirks for your fur baby- I want them to be as comfortable as possible. Their comfort and yours is of the upmost importance to me. I prefer to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit!
“Jess was kind and easy to talk to. Took great care of my cat Tibs while I was away on a trip, and worked with me to figure out how to get my keys back when I came home sick. Highly recommend her!”
“You always worry when you get a new pet sitter. My regular sitter was out of town. I returned to Rover to hire Shannon and she was amazing ! I know my cats are kinda untrusting with new people ( except one of them ). Shannon followed all my instructions, gave me photo updates and my kitties & I are super happy! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for amazing house visits Shannon! 💕”
“Constance was amazing. She went way above and beyond to not only help my kitty while we were out of the country but she helped my uncle that was watching the house for us with questions on the other animals, my kiddos and just helped him with anything. She is truly amazing and a gem. I am so happy I found her and would highly recommend her for any need you have! The comfort I felt being on my honeymoon knowing my animals, home and kids had an extra living set of hands helping was a true blessing!”
“Elizabeth checked in on our kitty while I was out of the country for a week. I would absolutely book her again! She was always on time, super friendly and our shy cat loved hanging out with her. It was such good peace of mind having someone so reliable and friendly checking in on the cat, and I can't say enough nice things about her!”
About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life! my favorite being german shepherds but my love for dogs in general is unconditional. cats are definitely growing on me as well. pets are nothing new to me and i’d love to get to know yours!! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. i am available throughout weekdays as well as weekends.However, I do work and go to college, but i want to dedicate the time i do have to taking care of your pets! i’ve had dogs for pets for as long as i can remember so it’s safe to say your dog and i will get along very well. cats are undeniably drawn to me for some reason and i embrace it every time. i have a fence around my house for my german shepherd, Amelia. i love taking her for walks and i’ll do the same for you dogs. i love cuddling with my girlfriends cats and i’m sure your cats will be very happy to hear they can have some love from me too!
“Mark was very patient and understanding with Zeke! It was clear that he has lots of expertise around dogs and is responsive to their needs. Mark also communicated well with me and went above and beyond to care for Zeke! Highly recommend!”
“Leslie was very helpful! she was able to make last minute plans for us with adjustments to our timing too. she provided daily updates and she definitely cared for our cat who had had a very minor surgery right before a family trip. Highly recommend! Thanks!”
About: Doggies have been a fascination of mine for as long as I can remember. You could say I’m Dogs’ Best Friend! I’ve cared for pups as small as Yorkies and as big as Golden-doodles. Not only do I love dogs, I’ve been told that all dogs love me! Currently, I’m a Stay-at-Home Fur Mama. I own an in-house Wedding Planning Business so I have a plethora of time during the 9-5 to devote to your babies! We have a fenced in yard and a sweet 15-month doggo that loves making friends! Our neighborhood is perfect for walking our baby. I’d love to walk your dog in your neighborhood, at a park, or wherever your preference may be.
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: Hi, I’m Nicole! There’s something special about earning the trust of a cat. Dogs often wear their hearts on their sleeves, but cats? They make you work for it—and I absolutely love that. Anyone who has ever truly loved a cat knows that when they finally choose to curl up beside you, greet you at the door, or give you that slow blink of approval, it means something. For more than 20 years, I’ve cared for animals through veterinary clinics, no-kill shelters, SPCAs, rescue organizations, kennels, and animal care facilities. I’ve had the privilege of caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and throughout my life, people have joked that animals are simply drawn to me. With cats especially, I’ve always had a natural ability to meet them where they are, respect their boundaries, and let the relationship develop at their pace. This isn’t something I’m squeezing into an already busy schedule. This is my career. My availability is intentionally built around the pets I care for, which means your cat receives my full attention, flexibility, and commitment. Every visit is designed as a boutique, concierge experience, thoughtfully tailored to your family’s routine and your cat’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Cats are wonderfully independent, endlessly entertaining, and unapologetically particular—and that’s exactly why I love them. Some want to conquer a feather wand, some prefer to supervise the neighborhood from their favorite window for an afternoon of “Cat TV,” and others are happiest exploring climbing spaces or their own little “cat superhighways” around the house. If you’re a Jackson Galaxy fan like I am, you know that enrichment isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. And then there are the food critics. 😂 Whether your cat insists on a very specific blend of wet and dry food, expects the exact ratio mixed just right, or believes breakfast should have been served five minutes ago because, after all, we’re merely their loyal hoomans, I’m happy to honor every little routine. Those wonderfully quirky habits are part of what makes each cat unique, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. Whether we’re engaging in interactive play, providing mental enrichment, keeping routines consistent, administering medications, or simply sharing quiet companionship on their terms, my goal is always the same: to make your cat feel safe, mentally stimulated, understood, respected, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I don’t want to be someone who simply refills a food bowl and scoops a litter box. I want to become someone your cat recognizes, trusts, and eventually chooses to spend time with—while giving you absolute peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own pets.
About: I’ve been lucky to take care of dogs my whole life. I currently have some time off of work, and would love to spend some of that time giving some love, care, and exercise to your pets! Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently am pretty open as I search for a new career. I have two dogs that I love at home (both named Hank LOL), but am available any time during the day. In our home, our dogs are our world! I would treat yours just the same. We would discuss what your pet needs (exercise, snuggles, medication, companionship, all of the above).

“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: My family loves animals and we would love to take in your pet for the day! We have a dog park and love to go on walks during the evening. Cats are also welcome as we love to snuggle them ❤️. Your pets will be safe and loved in our care and I am able to communicate with you over phone as much as you need during their stay. We currently just moved from an apartment to a townhome so we have a bit more space now for the animals to lounge around and play! I’m a full time at home mom! Taking care of animals makes me so happy. I always hoped to go into Veterinary medicine one day. Right now I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pets when needed ❤️ Pets will be able to run and play in our home. Feeding will depend on how often you need me to feed. Potty breaks often. Dog park on days with nice weather or walks through the trails in our neighborhood!
“excellent caregiver, she cares for the pets, she has her house equipped so that our pets have a great time. I recommend it. Thank you very much for taking care of Wyatt. He always kept me informed about my pet and how well he was having a good time. thanks kimberly”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“Kayla and her partner were wonderful with our dachshund. We needed doggie daycare while attending an event. Kayla was excellent to work with and took great care of our little baby. Highly recommend.”
“Leo went to his first daycare with Katie and he loved it! She greeted him at the door and welcomed him and made sure the other pups were away so he wouldn't be overwhelmed walking in. He loved it and can't wait for his next stay! He was definitely tuckered out from all the fun he had playing with the other pups. You can tell Katie knows how to handle things and is a dog-lover. We're so glad we found her!”
“Joe and Laurie love dogs like their own! Teddy had a fabulous afternoon with them. Had a nice long walk in their lovely neighborhood, and send the sweetest photos. Highly recommended! 🐶❤️”

About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for! In my home pets will be in a shared space with toys and activities. I will walk pets every 4-6 hours and will groom both cats and dogs if i see fit (not full groom but wipe eyes, paws, etc) I also enjoy going to the park so if possible i would love to take them to a park near your home or my own
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I truly understand how much your pup means to you, they’re family, not just a pet. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy (Moomin) of my own, so I know firsthand the energy, playfulness, and training that goes into raising a happy, well-adjusted dog. Over the past year, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, playtime, and all the little routines that keep a dog happy and healthy. I love taking dogs to the park for fresh air, playtime, and socializing with other pups, but I’m just as happy keeping them calm company at home if that’s what they prefer, I adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m attentive to every little cue, whether it’s excitement, anxiety, or just wanting a belly rub, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable the whole time. I also like to keep you updated with quick messages and photos throughout our time together, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m a full-time software engineer working a hybrid schedule with flexible hours (10 AM–3 PM). I’m typically out of the house on Mondays and Tuesdays, work from home the rest of the weekdays, and I’m completely off on weekends. My schedule is also flexible enough that I can adjust days if needed to match your pup’s needs. On the days I’m home, I have plenty of time for walks, play, and feeding, and I’m usually happy to have a dog keep me company while I work. I regularly cuddle and work alongside my own Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m used to balancing focused work with giving a dog attention, short breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. It means your pup won’t just be looked after, they’ll genuinely have company and companionship all day long. In my own home, I make sure dogs feel comfortable and settled right away, giving them a calm space to relax along with plenty of playtime and cuddles. Since I have my own Golden Retriever puppy, my home is already dog-friendly and set up for a happy, active pet. I take dogs for regular walks and trips to the park, letting them socialize with other dogs when they enjoy it, or keeping things calmer and quieter if that suits them better. I always adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level rather than sticking to one routine for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions the owner gives me, so the dog feels as little disruption as possible. I’m attentive to their comfort and cues throughout, and I send regular updates with messages and photos so owners always know how their pup is doing.
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”

About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for six years. Growing up, I had a feisty miniature dachshund and a goofy golden retriever. When I moved out, I got my own dynamic duo over the years- a chihuahua mix (Brulee- like the dessert crème Brulee) and three years later an Australian shepherd mix (muffin). Brulee was a very opinionated and particular girl while muffin is a gentle soul and afraid of her own shadow. I am fear free certified and have been since I entered the vet med field, it is something that is very important to me and I practice it with every animal I interact with. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. If they have special needs, behaviors, or quirks please tell me everything- I want to know all about your pet! Their comfort as well as yours is of the upmost importance to me. I love taking dogs on walks and hikes, allowing them to set the tone and pace- if they want to speed walk, we can do that or if they want to take a leisurely stroll sniffing every blade of grass that is fine too. I will keep your dog leashed the entire time we are out of the house, unless we are in an enclosed backyard. I do not take dogs to dog parks, unless have a well-established recall and if you request me to. However your pet wants to play, I am game- we can play ball, tug of war, hide and seek, or treat puzzles- whatever gets them excited! I am happy to medicate and feed your pet as needed. I prefer to meet you and your fur baby beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit! I currently work from home full time and pick up shifts at clinics when I can. My schedule hours vary so I can be available at normal or obscure hours. As long as we can find a window to make it work, I am happy to be flexible for you and your fur baby! I will care for your pets and home like I care for my own. If your pet has specific needs or if you have special requests, I will do my best to fulfill them to keep you and your pup happy, safe, and comfortable!
“Emily is friendly and dependable! She has taken great care of our puppy and we are so happy we found her! We love seeing the comments and pictures she sends for each walk!”
“Charlotte walked my older dog and my crazy energy-filled puppy. She did a great job of taking our instructions and reading the dogs’ personalities and mood. She walked them a healthy distance everyday, even in gloomy weather. Definitely what we were looking for and I trusted her in my home without us being there.”
About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can bring my laptop anywhere, (with your permission) and work while attending to your fur babies ☺️. I am fully available on weekends and most holidays as well! While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: Home away from home care for your pet when you are out of town or just need a staycation. Plenty of room to play indoors and outdoors in our fenced in backyard. Flexible drop off and pickup hours. Lots of hugs and love to make your four legged child feel like he or she is at home while you are away. Keep your pet on their normal schedule. Personalized care for your pet. Check in at any time to see how your pet is doing and receive daily text and video updates of your pet. I would love to host your pet in our home or drop in to your home to care for your pet. Please do not hesitate to text or email me with questions on pet boarding and sitting options that I provide. My weekly schedule is flexible, so I am able to give your pet much time and attention during the week and on weekends when they stay in my home. My partner, who also has over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, works with me to care for your pet. We alternate times during the day to care for your pet so that he/she has full time care and each of us has time to tend to other duties. We ensure that dogs and puppies in our home are supervised at all times. We allow each adult pet the space to roam freely and close off any rooms or areas we want restricted. With puppies, we restrict them to the room where we are as we like to closely monitor the babies. If we have multiple dogs/puppies in the home during your pets visit, feeding and potty breaks are done separately. We may crate or restrict a pets access to roam if we are receiving another guest pet or person 🙂 or if we have to run out of the home to run an errand. We try and follow your indicated pets schedule as closely as possible. You can assured that your pet will receive lots of love and attention while in our home.
About: I have a little over 3 years of experience caring for my friends and family’s dogs. They have entrusted me in walking their furbabies when they are unable to, feed and bathe them while they are away, and watch them for extended periods of time. I am currently available Monday-Friday after 4 pm to walk your dogs, or check in on them and feed them if you are away. Weekends I have an open Availability. And for extended stays I am available whenever. I do have a full time job however, I work 10 mins up the road and can check in on the dogs while on break. I live in a gated community and we have plenty of outdoor space to walk your dogs or let them out for some freedom. I do have a 7 yr old son who loves to play and entertain dogs.& I have a cage available if need be however they are free to roam the house.
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.
About: Hi, I’m Nicole! For me, pet care has never been a side job—it’s always been part of who I am. For more than 20 years, I’ve volunteered with veterinary clinics, no-kill shelters, SPCAs, rescue organizations, kennels, and dog daycares, caring for animals of every age, breed, personality, and need. Throughout my life, people have joked that animals are simply drawn to me, and honestly, it’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Building trust with them comes naturally, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an anxious dog relax, a shy dog gain confidence, or an excited pup light up when they realize it’s time for our next adventure. After spending years as a Business Operations Manager, my company unexpectedly closed after 108 years in business. Rather than simply finding another corporate job, I decided to follow the passion that’s been in my heart all along—devoting my time to caring for animals. This isn’t something I’m squeezing into an already busy schedule. This is my career. My availability is intentionally built around the pets I care for, which means your dog receives my full attention, flexibility, and commitment. Every service I provide is designed as a boutique, concierge experience, thoughtfully tailored to your family’s routine and your pet’s unique personality, needs, and happiness at every turn. Whether we’re exploring a trail, playing enrichment games, keeping routines consistent while you’re away, or simply sharing quiet companionship, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, loved, and genuinely excited to see me every time I arrive. I don’t want to be someone who just walks your dog or checks a box on your to-do list. I want to become someone your pet trusts, looks forward to, and feels completely comfortable with—while giving you absolute peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own dogs, Bubba and Pippa, who are truly family to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my day—it’s what I intentionally make time for. Every service I provide is personalized and thoughtfully tailored to both your pet and your family’s unique routine, preferences, and lifestyle. I take the time to understand what makes your companion feel safe, happy, and comfortable while also making your time away as stress-free as possible. Whether it’s adventure walks, enrichment, puppy or kitten guidance, medication administration, senior support, transportation, or simply maintaining familiar routines, every visit is designed around your pet’s individual needs. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family, providing dependable, compassionate care and giving you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and emotional well-being will always be my highest priorities. Every service I provide is thoughtfully personalized—not just for your pet, but for your entire family. I take time to learn your routines, preferences, house rules, training methods, and expectations so my care feels like a seamless extension of your own. I strictly follow all pet parent instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise limitations, behavioral cues, crate or free-roam preferences, and any special care needs. Consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routines they’re already comfortable with. For exercise and enrichment, I carefully choose safe, pet-friendly environments. Depending on your comfort level and your pet’s personality, adventures may include favorite neighborhood walking routes, trusted dog parks, nature trails, or supervised play on a private, family-owned seven-acre property with large, securely fenced areas where dogs can safely explore, sniff, and play. Every outing is tailored to your pet’s age, temperament, energy level, and training. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a curious cat, a senior companion, or a pet with medical or behavioral needs, I prioritize patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment, and careful observation. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, photos, videos, and honest communication after every visit because I know you’re trusting me with a beloved member of your family. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet—it’s to become a trusted, familiar friend they genuinely look forward to seeing while giving you complete confidence that they’re receiving the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own.

With a lifelong passions for animals, I am here to ensure your pet's well-being and hapiness. Since I was a child, I never met an animal I didn't love. From caring for family pets to volunteering at local animal shelters, my love for our four-legged companions has only grown stronger over the years. My journey with animals has taken me through various roles, including working in veterinary offices, animal shelters, and pet shops. These experiences have equipped me with invaluable skills and knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I work at home fulltime, so I am available to give your pet plenty of attention.

My husband and I both go on morning and evening walks, and have lots of time to give your pet exercise as needed. Currently, I share my home with Subi, a big-hearted cat who has never met a stranger. He brings endless joy to my life with his playful antics and affectionate purrs. He does well with all other pets, but we do have the ability to keep him separated if your pet requires us to do so. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized care.

About: Ive been around pets my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owners instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe abs comfortable while they're in my care I currently work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays, and Saturdays, ( sometimes they don’t schedule me all days) and I attend college during the week. My school schedule is fairly flexible with no more than two classes per day, usually lasting around 2 hours each. This gives me plenty of time between classes and work to care for pets, provide walks, drop in visits, and spend time with pets staying with me. I'm also available for boarding and overnight care. On weekdays, drop-off and pickup times may need to be arranged around my class schedule, but I'm happy to work with owners to find a time that works for both of us. My days off from work are Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, so I have even more flexibility on those days. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and bathroom breaks based on their normal routine. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while there away from home. In a clients home, I follow the owners instructions closely and try to keep the pets routine as normal as possible. I'm respectful of the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet gets the care, attention, walks, feeding, and companionship they need. I'm also happy to send updates and photos do owners know how their pet is doing.

“Chrissy did great with my Willow! I was at a loss with having people watch her due to her anxiety and rowdiness but while she was with Chrissy she seemed to get plenty of play time and I got photos while she was there! I’ll definitely be using her again! Highly recommend.”
“Bella loves to stay at Sandy’s. Bella had plenty of room to run in Sandy’s yard and she loved playing in the little wading pool that Sandy provided on the hot days during Bella’s stay. We had daily updates on Bella through pictures and video. Sandy is an awesome dog watcher and Bella is looking forward to her next stay!”
“Alej was so sweet to my fur baby. She sent update a pic of Thor for his overnight stay. She really seems to love pets. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Alej 😀.”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs over the years. My family raised kittens for years when I was in high-school. I also had a dog of my own for 15 years. I’m always the first to volunteer to care for friends and family members pets when they are out of town or need extra help walking them during the work week. I am currently pet free and miss having furry friends around! I work evenings so I have plenty of time during the day to walk pets and take them on adventures! I’m happy to house sit or keep pets overnight as well, as long as they can be left for 4-6 hours in the evening! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, and take lots of daily walks as well. In your home, I make every effort to keep your pet on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My 14-year-old son is gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around both dogs and cats, but all pet care and responsibility is handled by me.
“Our dog had great care with Caleigh! Great backyard for dogs, good communication, and she did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable while we were away.”
“Karen was amazing with my high energy fur baby! She provided updates throughout the week and genuinely loved my dog. She reinforced her training, not allowing her to go wild.I’d definitely book with Karen again… I have a Weimaraner and not just anyone can manage a Weim! Karen is top notch..”
“Patrice did an excellent job taking care of my geriatric dog. Although my pet suffers from separation anxiety, Patrice’s handling of her was calming and comforting from the start. After pick up, she did not manifest restlessness, which is often a sign she does not connect with a person. We are thankful for Patrice’s caring touch and will be returning to her in the future. We highly recommend!”
“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”

“Katie and her incredible roommate were truly amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. I received updates and photos all weekend long, and it was clear that Nellie was having the time of her life—which gave me so much peace of mind. Katie has a fantastic setup with both turf and grass play areas, plus water bowls in every space to keep pups comfortable. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend—thank you again!”
