“This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!”
“Michelle is a real dog person. And a people person too! We had a cold snap and she found extra layers for my greyhound to wear. She is experienced with introducing dogs to each other, and they sleep separately. She communicates very well and I felt confident that she was taking care of my dog. This was a test weekend and we plan to use Michelle for a longer trip!”
“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“Our dog Charlie was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make Charlie comfortable and feel loved while he missed us. Sent many pics and updates along his stay! We will def recommend and use again”
“Elaine was amazing! She kept me updated on Oreo’s care. She sent me photos. I felt happy to know that my dog was in great hands. Also, she had open availability. Which is great when you plan last minute trips. Highly recommend!!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”
“This was our first booking with Emily to take care for our little Gigi during a recent extended trip and hopefully will not be the last. Emily took great care of our Gigi and kept us up to date on how she was doing, sending pictures and videos, which really helped us be at ease while we were away. Our precious was really spoiled and we think she was actually sad after we brought her back home, she must have been missing her other fury friends at Emily’s house and her good care. Would definitively leave Gigi in her care again without hesitation.”
“David is a wonderful dog sitter. He went out of his way on a holiday to make sure my two pups were comfortable and happy. I will be bringing them back to him in the future!”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“I was in a last minute crunch and took a chance with Marleny. She was able to take my Sophie at a moments notice, sent photos daily, and took good care of my baby. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Leila did a great job taking care of both my dogs. She had extra toys for them to play with as well as extra dog beds for afternoon naps. My dogs had humans to snuggle at night. Leila walked them in the morning and we received pictures every day. Great fenced in backyard. We will use again”
“I absolutely loved Johanny’s service! I always feel confident that my dog is in great hands with her and her family. They treat her with so much love and care, and it truly gives me peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“So patient and kind with Oona. She was so well cared for during her stay and I received many pictures and videos while I was away! Was a joy to book with and would book with again! Thank you Equasia!”
“It was great having Matthew board our Lucy for us. We got pictures and updates through out the week. Matthew is very easy to work with. I felt completely confident leaving Lucy in his care. Thank you for an A+ experience. 🙂🐕”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Christina and Alexander were wonderful dog sitters. My GSD baby Max felt spoiled, surrounded the love of their family. He was well taken care of. He was well fed, exercised and trained. They followed all my instructions. They provided daily updates with the pictures and videos. They reinforced Max's potty training and obtained the superb results. I was very happy and felt very reassured that Max was in a good hands.”
“Emanuel and his mom were great at caring for Easter. This was her first time staying with someone and they allowed her to come over in advance to check out the place! Their dog was super friendly and when the night came for her to stay over they were accommodating! Would definitely have Easter stay again!”
“Absolutely amazing, Monica was very responsive, she sent photos, she definitely knew exactly what she was doing!!! She managed to make a good experience out of a tough day for my cat. I will never not appreciate how much love and comfort she provided for my fur baby.”

“Gwen was just fantastic. She took care of my cats and my house as if it were her own. I would definitely use Gwen again and recommend her to anyone needing a cat/house sitter.”
“Autumn did a great job! She gave attention to all 5 cats, fed them and played with them. One cat needed a pill and the other an insulin injection. She did great and we would have her sit for us again!”
“Autumn was AMAZING! I highly recommend her! I am a crazy cat lady and have never used Rover before or had anyone other than family take care of my two cats while I have been away. This trip I needed someone last minute and she was so helpful and made the process so easy. I totally felt comfortable leaving them in her care and she did an incredible job communicating with me and taking great care of them! I will certainly be using her again and would recommend anyone in her area does the same. Thanks, Autumn!”
About: While I adore all animals, cats have a special place in my heart (I have a senior one of my own who, of course, runs the house). Since I was a baby, we have always had them. I meet each cat exactly where they are and I respect their autonomy and little quirks. I’m just as happy to give them space as I am to offer affection. I’m experienced with day-to-day cat care including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and administering medications when needed :)
“She was amazing! Being a first time user of Rover I was uncertain about how it all worked and she explained it to me prior to me booking with her and really put my mind at ease. She made sure Tigger was taken care of and had all the things he needed while I was away.”
“I’ve booked Olivia several times for check-in’s and she is very reliable and always comes through for us in a pinch! Great communication and of course Sully loves her - Thanks Olivia!”
About: As a nurse and experienced rescue volunteer, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge, compassion, and hands-on pet care experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with medication administration, post-surgery care, and recognizing signs of distress. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As the founder of a dog rescue and a stay-at-home mom, my routine is centered around caring for both animals and people. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or giving extra cuddles, I make time every day to meet each pet’s unique needs. I also keep a flexible schedule to accommodate drop-ins, overnights, and last-minute bookings. Providing a safe, loving environment for animals isn’t just a routine—it’s my passion and purpose. In my home, pets are treated like family. They have a cozy, calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, playing in a fenced in area and bathroom breaks, and I tailor care to each dog’s needs—whether it’s crate training, senior support, or giving extra attention to anxious pups. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Cleanliness, safety, and lots of love are always my top priorities—no matter where I’m caring for your pet.
About: My entire life I've grown up surrounded by and learning how to take care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I have offered housesitting, pet sitting, and dog walking services before, and I have always walked away with a satisfied client :). While I primarily deal with dogs and cats, if you have other animals that need to be taken care of, I can ensure that I will meet their needs. I am available at all hours and all days :). I currently have a work-at-home/freelance job, so I can stay with your pets for as long as you need! Every animal will receive much love and attention, play time and walks will always be a guarantee. That being said, I do not offer services to keep animals in my home, as I live with multiple people who might not consent to animals being in the house. I'd much prefer if I went over to your house.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. From our family cats and dogs, I’ve learned everything from training to grooming and even helping cats give birth. I got my own personal dog at the age of 20 where I had to train him from the very beginning . It was difficult at times but very rewarding. Seeing him being able to listen and obey even in stressful situations gives me joy… I work part time so I am home more often than I’m away . This allows me to take care of my animals and continue their training. If I’m staying in your home, I will do my utmost to take care of your pet and make sure he has an amazing time. I know being away from your animal can be stressful and frightening so my only concern is making sure that you and your pet is as comfortable as possible. So when you come back, your pet is happy and relaxed to see you. I will follow your instructions when it comes to taking care of your pet and if for some reason, there is a change I will let you know immediately.
“Kerry was a life saver at the last minute. She asked questions and I could tell she was invested in taking the best care of my pups. She sent pictures as soon as she arrived and judging by the pics and video she sent, they loved her right away. She updated me and I felt so at ease knowing she was there. So excited to have found a trustworthy sitter and cannot wait to book her again.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for years — I currently have three of my own, all of whom I’ve trained myself or are currently in training. I’m patient, reliable, and truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and overnight stays. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior needing extra care, I treat every dog like they’re my own — with love, structure, and plenty of belly rubs! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine—I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My mornings usually start with feeding, walking, and some playtime or light training. Throughout the day, I schedule time for enrichment activities, potty breaks, and cuddles. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or others, I stay consistent with routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure each pet gets what they need emotionally and physically. It’s a big part of my life and something I truly enjoy! I have 3 very friendly dogs who are all crate and house-trained. They have a consistent schedule and exercise daily! We do parks, walks, hikes, swimming, and running!
About: I have hands on experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that cats need patience and a calm approach, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and recognizing signs of discomfort. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and respect for each cat’s unique personality. I don’t rush interactions, I let cats come to me, ensuring they feel secure while still getting the love and care they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, chickens, any animals you can imagine since I was young. I was a professional dog trainer with a company for 3+ years and have had every breed imaginable with me throughout the years teaching them to be good pups through board and trains and lessons. All of my family and friends trust me with their animals and I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, with me I can update with pictures and videos so you can see how great of a time they’re having! I currently work M-T 10 hour days. Which soon may change, but that leaves me 4 days to help you out for weekend trips and adventures I have a semi fenced in yard, with room to run around, and all through town to go for walks! I have a super friendly dog, Luna, who loves the company. I have ruffland kennels and wire crates if your dog would need to be crated during their stay. And with my past dog training experience I am also able to work on any issues you may have with your pup while you’re gone!

“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
About: I am an experienced dog groomer who worked at Petline Grooming for 1.5 years. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs of all breeds and sizes of all temperaments/behaviors. I have lived with 3 dogs throughout my entire life. Since I was old enough to be independent, I was helping to feed and take out my dogs. More than that I love to make sure my dogs are properly enriched by taking them on daily walks and investing in new toys for them. I am an animal lover who would love to take care of your pets! I have lots of availability and plan on doing pet care full-time for the time being. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I have access to a partially fenced in yard and multiple leashes and crates. At my house, I currently have a friendly dog who will keep your dog company. I am willing to take on any specific or special requests to ensure your pet is most cared for and loved properly!
“Michelle treats your dog ? like part of her family! This is the 2nd time I left my pup (who is like my child) at her place. First off she is very friendly and easy going. She talked to me about my dog prier to me dropping him off. She has a fenced back yard that he could run around. She has a dog of her own that is super friendly and they played all day together. Sent me multiple photos of my dog playing or napping through out the day. Not to many, not to little, just right. THE BEST PART!! She sent me a photo of my pup laying on the couch with her son snuggling!!? ?? ? Let me tell you when you leave your pup with her they are part of the family ???? ? I can not recommend her enough!”
“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
“We are repeat customers which says a lot! Tuk is well taken care of and Emily is great with giving us updates and taking his special needs into consideration. We never worry when we leave him here!”
About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well-being first 🐾😊.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“Melissa is the most caring and kindest Roverer I’ve ever worked with! She understands dogs, super confident with handling and they have a great time. She has very respectful little ones who my dogs loved playing with. She’s the perfect location for anyone headed to the casino for the day! Book her time with your buddy - you won’t be disappointed and they won’t either!”
About: I’ve had multiple pets all my life, and have been compassionately caring for friends’, family’s, and for-hire for 11 years! I currently have a sweet 1 year old Pyrenees mix (my first as primary owner!) who LOVES other dogs and will keep your pet well entertained. I am currently between jobs so I am home 24/7 and can give your pet all the love and attention. I have a yard where they can play, but pets are also allowed to free roam in my space. I am also nearby many parks for some stimulating walks and/or off-leash time as desired. I have a deep love of pets of all kinds, and can’t wait to meet yours! I currently am between jobs, have flexible weekends, and lead an active lifestyle so can give your pet as much attention as they want and need suited to their energy level!:) I live in a house with a private yard, nearby dog park, and many other green spaces nearby! I also can do pick-ups on a case by case basis. I have a 1 year old puppy that gets along well with any pup she meets, and she can’t wait to meet yours! Unfortunately, I am unable to watch cats in my home at this time. For house sitting requests, my pup is a required +1.
“Astrid was amazing with our 10 month old, high energy puppy! Our boy was visibly sad leaving her home and is already set up for his second day care visit. We're so glad to have found Astrid! Thank you Astrid for taking such good care of Loki!”
About: I’m Jenn, thanks for visiting my profile! I’ve been a dog mom for 8+ years, but caring for other people’s pets for double that. I have watched up to 6 dogs at a time in one household. I volunteer and have fostered through Brindle Buddies and Friends. My experiences with dog sitting and volunteering has exposed me to a variety of ages, stages, breeds and sizes! It’s always important to me that when caring for someone’s pets, I am honoring their usual rituals (training, feeding, etc), treating them with love and providing adequate play and exercise! My own dogs have equipped me in other ways as well having trained them both through local dog training facilities and needed to administer medication when needed. My first dog had several behavioral issues that needed constant attention. I am easy going, empathetic and honest. I am a stay-at-home mom as well as a travel agent that works from home on my own accord. I also have access to childcare some days/times of the week which can open me up to fully devote my attention to your pet. In home: I have a very large yard. My dog is contained using an invisible fence. When we host dogs (play dates or dog sitting), we use a 25+ ft tie out that is securely attached to a tree. The tie out creates an opportunity for safe, supervised play with my dog (55 lb mix, 2.5 y/o female), the ability to roam a decent amount of the yard to explore or go potty, or chill in the yard/on my deck. I also live across from a huge park with a track and several nature trails that gives me the opportunity to provide walks of varying distances. My house is two floors, with most of the living happening downstairs as upstairs we only use that space as a guest room and a fitness/gaming studio. My dog gets crated when we leave the house. If your dog is crate trained, this would be my preference for maximum safety and security but I am completely comfortable (if you are) with them having free roam or being isolated in one room; this is only for leaving the house. I would prefer for your dog to sleep where they usually sleep at home. Dog bed, in our bed, couch, crate, etc. In house, of course we will play however they like! Offering toys, bones, chasing games, etc. Whatever you're comfortable with and they enjoy. Clients' home: I will adhere to any requests and boundaries you make. I am comfortable to play, walk, feed, let out, etc.
“Alisha was comfortable taking care of my pup through a busy weekend and we collaborated successfully! Thank you so much Alisha, highly would recommend this sitter and will consider requests in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs. A small 1/2poddle 1/2shitzu and a medium size chow chow. Everyone in my family had/have dogs so I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. Friends and family have relied and trusted me to walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets. I am currently working from home every other week so I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur baby. I am off by 4:30pm so i am available for more spoiling after that. 🫶🏼 I have plenty of space in my apartment and a fenced in yard. I am open to any of your needs & wants. My neighborhood is great for walks or even a jog. 🫶🏼

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have one (spoiled) cat who has been my best friend since I was 10. I regularly cat sit for family and friends and dog sit for my grandparents, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent.. I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I work as a night shift nurse (7pm–7am) and typically work three consecutive nights during the week. On workdays, I am available for at most 2 drop-ins between shifts, depending on distance and timing. On my days off (usually 3–4 days a week), I have full availability for visits, care, walks, and extended time with your pet. My schedule is consistent, and I’ll always communicate clearly about availability in advance. I follow each pet’s routine as instructed, including feeding, litter care, walks, medications, and any specific quirks. I focus on keeping things consistent so they feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have owned dogs for over 25 years. i have been professional dog trainer for over 15 years. I have owned and operated my own dog training business for over 3 years. I work with all dogs regardless of age. I volunteered at an animal shelter as a trainer and walker. Looking forward to a transition from from a very challenging and strenuous job, to doing what I love. I enjoy having pets and I enjoy meeting and caring for other animals. My curiosity to meeting and learning about new breeds of both cats and dogs will never end. I look forward to an opportunity to serve the public and their fur babies. As the summer arrives, I will be available so you can vacation in peace. I will take care of your pets while you enjoy date nights or time spent with family and or friends. I will take care of your pet at your home, keeping them in their most comfortable environment. I will pay close attention to detail based on your instructions.

About: I’ve been a Dog Mom for 16 years. I’ve also been entrusted to dog-sit multiple neighbors’ dogs, including a wolf/Husky hybrid named Loki; 2 “pitbull” mixes, Dicey and Scooby; and a GSD/Lab mix named Mya who has regular sleepovers at my house. I have experience giving dogs oral, drop, injectable, and subcutaneous IV medications. I take care to pay attention to the temperature outside and a dog’s needs and adjust walks accordingly (no walking on hot asphalt, make sure dogs with no undercoat are suitably dressed in cold weather, etc.). I’m a firm believer in letting dogs experience the world around them through smell, and allow them to sniff to their nose’s content on walks. If your dog is prone to pulling, please have a suitable harness available for use. (I highly recommend PetSafe EasyWalk harnesses.) NO prong, choke, or shock collars! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I work from home and my hours are flexible, so I am able to arrange my work schedule around the needs of you and your dog(s)! I always ensure that your dog’s collar/harness and leash are secure so they won’t slip out on a walk. I bring poop bags on every walk, and a water thermos and bowl on longer walks. Food, potty breaks, and medicine administration can all be given at drop-ins. I have experience giving oral medications, eye drops, injections, and sub-q IV drips to my own dogs, and can do so for yours as well with as much care and love as if they’re my own.

I volunteer and have fostered through Brindle Buddies and Friends. My experiences with dog sitting and volunteering has exposed me to a variety of ages, stages, breeds and sizes! It’s always important to me that when caring for someone’s pets, I am honoring their usual rituals (training, feeding, etc), treating them with love and providing adequate play and exercise! My own dogs have equipped me in other ways as well having trained them both through local dog training facilities and needed to administer medication when needed. My first dog had several behavioral issues that needed constant attention. I am easy going, empathetic and honest. I am a stay-at-home mom as well as a travel agent that works from home on my own accord. I also have access to childcare some days/times of the week which can open me up to fully devote my attention to your pet. In home: I have a very large yard. My dog is contained using an invisible fence. When we host dogs (play dates or dog sitting), we use a 25+ ft tie out that is securely attached to a tree. The tie out creates an opportunity for safe, supervised play with my dog (55 lb mix, 2.5 y/o female), the ability to roam a decent amount of the yard to explore or go potty, or chill in the yard/on my deck. I also live across from a huge park with a track and several nature trails that gives me the opportunity to provide walks of varying distances. My house is two floors, with most of the living happening downstairs as upstairs we only use that space as a guest room and a fitness/gaming studio. My dog gets crated when we leave the house. If your dog is crate trained, this would be my preference for maximum safety and security but I am completely comfortable (if you are) with them having free roam or being isolated in one room; this is only for leaving the house. I would prefer for your dog to sleep where they usually sleep at home. Dog bed, in our bed, couch, crate, etc. In house, of course we will play however they like! Offering toys, bones, chasing games, etc. Whatever you're comfortable with and they enjoy. Clients' home: I will adhere to any requests and boundaries you make. I am comfortable to play, walk, feed, let out, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. From our family cats and dogs, I’ve learned everything from training to grooming and even helping cats give birth. I got my own personal dog at the age of 20 where I had to train him from the very beginning . It was difficult at times but very rewarding. Seeing him being able to listen and obey even in stressful situations gives me joy… I work part time so I am home more often than I’m away . This allows me to take care of my animals and continue their training. If I’m staying in your home, I will do my utmost to take care of your pet and make sure he has an amazing time. I know being away from your animal can be stressful and frightening so my only concern is making sure that you and your pet is as comfortable as possible. So when you come back, your pet is happy and relaxed to see you. I will follow your instructions when it comes to taking care of your pet and if for some reason, there is a change I will let you know immediately.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for 21, helping to raise and train them from 8 weeks old to crossing the rainbow bridge. I have my bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior and I’m excited to take care of your pets! I have a decent amount of free time with my work schedule, giving me time to walk your dogs and give them all the love they deserve! I work 12 hour shifts two or three days at a time. I have cared for many friends’ furry friends as well as having worked in a doggy daycare. Your pet’s safety is my top priority while creating a trustworthy bond with you and your pet.
“Jessica is a fantastic dog walker. She took the time to get to know our dogs and their needs. She built a great rapport with them and took great care of them. She communicated well with us, as well. We will definitely be booming with her again.”
About: I currently work at a veterinary clinic. I have been around all kinds of animals all my life. Currently I have a dog (Jaxson), 4 cats (Ozcar, Jazabel, Joey, and Dustin), a bearded dragon (Dreki), and a horse (Andy). I have been riding horses for most of my life. I have volunteered and worked for many different animal groups. I have also founded a nonprofit animal rescue. I am off every Sunday and alternating Saturdays. I am available fir drop ins most evenings any time after 6pm and Wednesdays any time after 3pm. I will provide a loving and patient environment for your pet. My years of experience have shown me the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to animals, so I can handle anything. I can also offer assistance in training, medicating, and grooming.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’ve helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as senior pets who may need extra attention, medication, or a slower pace. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care, I treat every pet like my own. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and routine so they feel happy and stress free. I’m currently in school, but I have a consistent and flexible routine that allows me to provide reliable pet care. I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day, as well as weekends. I always make sure to plan ahead so each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any special needs. I make sure doors and windows are secure and that pets are supervised at all times. I respect each pet’s boundaries and take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious cats. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, chickens, any animals you can imagine since I was young. I was a professional dog trainer with a company for 3+ years and have had every breed imaginable with me throughout the years teaching them to be good pups through board and trains and lessons. All of my family and friends trust me with their animals and I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, with me I can update with pictures and videos so you can see how great of a time they’re having! I currently work M-T 10 hour days. Which soon may change, but that leaves me 4 days to help you out for weekend trips and adventures I have a semi fenced in yard, with room to run around, and all through town to go for walks! I have a super friendly dog, Luna, who loves the company. I have ruffland kennels and wire crates if your dog would need to be crated during their stay. And with my past dog training experience I am also able to work on any issues you may have with your pup while you’re gone!

“Michelle is a real dog person. And a people person too! We had a cold snap and she found extra layers for my greyhound to wear. She is experienced with introducing dogs to each other, and they sleep separately. She communicates very well and I felt confident that she was taking care of my dog. This was a test weekend and we plan to use Michelle for a longer trip!”
“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“Our dog Charlie was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make Charlie comfortable and feel loved while he missed us. Sent many pics and updates along his stay! We will def recommend and use again”
About: I provide a calm caring and reliable experience for dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience working with energetic puppies helping with basic training routines and plenty of playtime as well as older dogs who need a gentler pace, patience, and attentive care. Whether it is keeping up with a playful pup or supporting a senior dogs comfort and mobility I focus on creating a safe stress-free environment where every dog feels understood and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. Morning walks and feedings can happen alongside getting the kids ready, while midday visits offer a natural break and a chance to reset. Puppies bring energy and short training moments, while older dogs fit well into calmer, more relaxed periods. Overall, it blends easily into my daily home life without needing a separate schedule. I enjoy going on walks, going on hikes, and engaging in fun playtime with pets. I am comfortable handling feeding and daily care to keep your pets happy and well looked after. I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.
“David is a wonderful dog sitter. He went out of his way on a holiday to make sure my two pups were comfortable and happy. I will be bringing them back to him in the future!”
“Jahada and Heaven were excellent with my baby Cloud. I was afraid I wouldn’t find anyone on such a short notice that my dog would get to know and trust so easily. He has been attacked by other dogs in the past and hurt by people so I was worried he wouldn’t like any new people but boy was I wrong! He loved being at their house and got to run around outside and got yummy healthy treats ? I’ll definitely be using them in the future ❤️”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“I was in a last minute crunch and took a chance with Marleny. She was able to take my Sophie at a moments notice, sent photos daily, and took good care of my baby. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Brooke, Jeremy and Family were absolutely wonderful! Five stars, 10/10 ! Thank you for the care and attention you gave our Pomeranian babies! The daily photos made us so happy!”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“I absolutely loved Johanny’s service! I always feel confident that my dog is in great hands with her and her family. They treat her with so much love and care, and it truly gives me peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“It was great having Matthew board our Lucy for us. We got pictures and updates through out the week. Matthew is very easy to work with. I felt completely confident leaving Lucy in his care. Thank you for an A+ experience. 🙂🐕”
“I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer and Jason after spending an hours visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?”
“Carole was super accommodating for our last minute request to board my golden retriever puppy. She kept us updated with regular messages, pictures and video. She took great care of him. He got a lot of exercise and running around the fenced backyard while playing with her dog, Venus. After we picked him up, he slept straight through the day. My pup would definitely want to come back for fun filled stays with Venus. I highly recommend Carole to pet parents out there.”
“As always, my dog arrived happy and left even happier. They always take great care of her and give her all the attention and walks she could ever want, will definitely use them again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“Emanuel and his mom were great at caring for Easter. This was her first time staying with someone and they allowed her to come over in advance to check out the place! Their dog was super friendly and when the night came for her to stay over they were accommodating! Would definitely have Easter stay again!”
