About: I have experience caring for cats of various breeds and temperaments through my pre-veterinary education as well as my work and volunteer experience in veterinary and shelter settings. I understand that every cat has their own unique needs, preferences, and personalities. As a cat parent to my 2-year-old cat, Theo, I know the importance of respecting a cat's individual personality and, most importantly, their boundaries. Cats are creatures of habit and routine, and I believe maintaining their normal routine, environment, and sense of comfort is an essential part of helping them feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Beyond my formal education in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and hands-on experience, I have spent many hours continuing to learn about feline care through my own personal research. I have a strong interest in feline health, nutrition, welfare, enrichment, and behavior, and I truly enjoy learning how to better understand and support cats' physical and emotional needs.
“Faith was an exceptional dog sitter who exceeded all expectations. She was punctual every day, ensuring that our pups received consistent care and attention. Faith dedicated 30 minutes each day to sit with the dogs while they did their business, showing her commitment to their well-being. Additionally, she captured lots of great pictures of the pups, which was a delightful bonus for us. Her reliability and thoughtful care made a significant difference, and we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”
“Thank you Courtney for helping us out last minute so we could enjoy some family time at great wolf lodge. I’m sure Beau loved the belly rubs, walks and treats. You were so trustworthy and kind. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our future dog visit/walking & cat sitting needs. Thank you again!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for felines across all life stages, from high-energy kittens to gentle seniors. I specialize in special needs and medical care, a skill I developed firsthand while managing my own cat’s heart condition. Because of this, I am completely confident administering daily oral medications, tracking health changes, and keeping medical routines precise and stress-free. Whether your cat is an active player or a shy hider, I understand feline body language and respect their boundaries to ensure they feel safe, secure, and loved
About: I have taken care of dogs and house sat since I was 15! I have helped our neighbors and family friends with watching their dogs. I love helping people in any way and also love caring for pets! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work part-time (about 15 hours a week) which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they need. I love spending my free time with animals, so pet care isn’t just something I fit in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! I treat every pet like family, whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home. My top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, walks and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they’re happy and healthy.
“Blue has continued to be my favorite cat sitter on Rover. he took great care of my diabetic kitty, Socks, while I was away on a long trip.

About: Experience with owning and caring for 4 dogs & 1 cat, in my household- at once. Over 16 years of experience with Dachshunds, Pitbull’s, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, many breeds of cats, Flemish giant rabbits, and turtles. Enjoy being active and taking care of our little creature and other’s loved ones! ❤️ Every animal is different, so their care needs to be unique and carefully planned for their happiness. Giving lots of attention and love to your little creatures when you are working hard- and you don’t have to rush home to let them out or feed them. Want to spend my free time helping and taking care of the beautiful and loving animals we have the chance to meet. Very fortunate enough to have many animals in my life. My schedule on the app is always up to date. If I am booked on the schedule, please still free to reach out, as cancelations happen! 😊 I just moved into a new house, so I created different spaces for the animals to safely play, and relax in. I am very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I love meeting new people, and have no problem traveling to clients houses to sit their animals. Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)
“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”
“My boyfriend and I had to come back to re-emphasize how great Olivia has been with our puppy and our schedule. We appreciate her so much! Attentive, professional, accommodating and a GREAT puppy sitter!! Choose her for your next booking!!”
About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.

I’ve had dogs in the past and currently have a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care and routine. I’ve also filled in for my sister-in-law’s dog walking clients, so I’m comfortable handling different dogs, following schedules, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I take the time to match their comfort level and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I follow owner instructions closely. You can expect dependable service, a calm approach, and regular updates so you know your pet is doing well.

I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Because I work remotely, I’m able to plan my day around scheduled visits and give pets my full attention during that time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority to be on time, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I always focus on safety, routine, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and behavior guidelines. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can keep their stress as low as possible.
About: and Sophie! Hi, I’m Sophie! I attended a vocational trade school where I studied Animal Science for three years. I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of small and large animals, while learning proper handling and restraints, health and behavior, as well as how to safely administer oral and injectable medications. Through my training, I became certified in animal first aid and CPR. I also have experience caring for puppies/kittens, senior animals and pets with special needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent routines. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and also worked at a kennel in high school, so I have spent years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Because of that, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I give the best care and attention that I possibly can. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing in the yard, relaxing on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we are committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable care. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in the care of someone else, and our goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member! :) Hey! I’m Dylan and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a ton of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm and have always had multiple pets at a time, so I learned responsibility and animal care at a young age. I currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats of my own, and I love spending time with them—whether it’s going on runs with my dogs or cuddling up with my cats. I’m calm, patient, and always make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with love and respect. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working a full-time job Monday through Thursday, from 6am until anywhere between 3pm and 5pm, depending on the day. I have Saturdays and Sundays off, and occasionally Fridays. Sophie works 2pm to 10pm a few days a week, her schedule is different every week. Since our schedules are opposite and Sophie has a bit more free time, one of us is always available to spend a good amount of time with your pet. The first thing we do when taking care of our own pets, or others pets, is let them out to go to the bathroom. Next, we prioritize feeding and medicating (if necessary) and cleaning and refilling all water bowls. Once everything important is taken care of, we then spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, cuddling or going for a walk. Before we leave, we make sure we let them back outside for a good while to make sure they take care of all of their business.

About: I have pet sit all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, frogs, turtles, you name it. I have always lived with a dog since I was born, and also have two adopted cats. I have raised chickens and ducks from hatchlings and cared for goats. I have also worked at a doggy daycare, specializing in yard management, food, medicine, bathing, and senior care. I work part time on the weekends as a server, so I am available anytime on weekdays to take care of your pets! Weekends I am normally available mornings. I love spending time with any pets, so I would give them the best care I could and hang out with them afterwards to make them not just healthy, but happy as well.
About: I am a recent graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Veterinary Medicine! Through my education, I have developed a strong foundation in animal behavior, welfare, health, nutrition, and safe handling practices. I have hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings, caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background has taught me that while animals may not be able to speak, they communicate in many ways through their body language, behaviors, and individual personalities. I believe that understanding these signals and recognizing how each pet communicates is an important part of providing safe, comfortable, and compassionate care. As a pet parent myself to my 2-year-old cat, Theo, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to provide owners with peace of mind while giving each pet the attention, patience, and care that they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate your pet's needs and dedicate quality time to their care. I currently am only booking walks and check-ins which can include playtime, enrichment, feeding routines, and companionship. I am happy to work with owners to maintain the routines and habits their pets are comfortable with. While availability may vary, I welcome last-minute requests whenever possible, as I understand that life can be unpredictable and plans can change. Trust and safety are my top priorities at all times when caring for pets. My background in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and hands-on animal care has taught me the importance of proper handling, observing behavior, and promoting animal welfare. I understand that even the calmest animals are guided by instincts and may respond differently depending on their environment and comfort level. Approaching each pet with patience, respect, and awareness is essential to building trust and helping them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own pets. I am happy to follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication administration, exercise, enrichment, and any specific routines your pet follows. I welcome as much detail as you would like to provide, as understanding your pet's individual needs helps me provide the best possible care.
About: I’m a huge dog lover! I work from home full time as an Auditor and I have the flexibility to drop in for walks during regular working hours on my lunch break, I am super reliable and readily available! I will respect your home and your pup (as they are your family) and can assist with other duties as needed. I have a BIG soft spot for rescues, I do have experience administering medications to pups. I have an MBA in Finance, reliable transportation, usually available on short notice, and take great pride in my work. Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions! I currently work from home full time. I have flexibility to leave to let dogs out and go for walks throughout the day. I do have two young children (1 and 4) but they are in daycare full time while I’m working. I lost my sweet dog in 2024, she was my best friend and was with me every day while I worked. At this time I don’t have any pets. My yard is over an acre, it is not fenced in. I would love to take your pup on a walk!
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I love all animals especially cats and dogs. I have trained my dog, Benji, who I’ve had for 6 years! I would love to have your pet! I’m a self employed makeup artist so my schedule is pretty open during the week mostly! I work from home and we are very flexible I have a big fenced yard. Only one male neutered dog who gets along with most dogs. I love to play and pet the dogs often and then love to sit with me and watch favorite movie!
About: Hi everyone! My name's Shirl and I am hoping to make your life a bit easier by taking away the stress of leaving your pup behind while you're away. I have been pet sitting for over 12 years; I used to have dogs come board with me while owners went away, but I've found that most owners prefer their pets to stay in the comfort of their own home. I have years of experience doing overnight pet sitting, but unfortunately my growing family (3 dogs and a cat of my own) no longer allows for me to stay away from home overnight. I am happy to provide multiple daily visits and/or walks! My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you're away, by keeping their daily routine as close to "normal" as possible. I've cared for all types of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, chicks, quail, lizards, fish, etc.! I am an experienced dog handler/ animal lover at heart. I worked at/managed a doggie day care/boarding facility for 4 years, learning from a very experienced trainer who focuses on positive reinforcement techniques ONLY. During my time there, I had opportunities to complete trainings to understand dog behaviors and body language. I have volunteered at BARCS as a dog walker/foster, working primarily with bully breeds. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my entire life. From playing with salamanders as a kid, to growing up with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes; I've also had bunnies, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, hamsters, birds...the list goes on! I couldn't imagine a life without animals in it. My experience administering medication Yes. Working at a dog boarding facility for nearly 2 years I have had to give many forms of medications, and my personal pets also take oral medications. I am not trained to give injections. My full time job allows me to work from home majority of the week. That makes it easy for me to swing by for a visit at different times of the day. The latest drop in I can provide is 7pm. I am happy to provide updates as soon as I arrive, during the stay, and as I leave. For dog walks, I prefer not to introduce any dog that I’m handling to another dog passing by. This ensures everyone’s safety.
About: Hello! I have been in the animal care industry for almost two decades. During this time I was certified as an Animal Care Technician. My training taught me proper handling, how to read body language, and how to gauge temperament in each pet. I have dealt with dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. Other qualifications that set me apart include administering medication to pets, bathing dogs, and teaching dogs basic commands. While visiting your pet I can provide light house-keeping. I have a genuine passion for animals, and hope to someday pursue a career in the field. Thank you for your consideration! Looking for pets who need lunch visits/walks! I enjoy taking care of pets in my spare time. I relish getting out of my house as I currently work from home. I try to treat every pet as if it were my own. When coming into a client's home, I am respectful, and try to leave things in better condition than I found them.

I am available almost every day, both weekdays and weekends until early February. I am also available for last minute requests when your plans change! I can provide long walks, play time, and whatever type of attention your dog or cat needs. Let me know what requests you have and I can accommodate!

About: I have grown up in a house that always had 2-3 dogs living in it. I was exposed to different breeds from the most mixed supermutt to a purebred King Charles Cocker Spaniel. About 12 years ago I began pet-sitting for my in-laws who have two dogs (now 15 and 2) and two cats. They love the care I provide their animals and am their go-to pet sitter. In August 2021, we were finally lucky to expand our family with our own puppy! I work from home 100% of the time with a flexible job so I and am always available for walks or potty training! My husband works a unique shift as well which makes it easier if needed! I have a neutered fur-baby myself to keep any pets occupied! We have all the must haves for any pup like crates, bowls, and LOADS of toys!
