She is the best and we will use her again next time we need someone to care for our doggie.”

“I'm so thankful for Janis! She looked over my Australian Shepherd pup Skye, as soon as we did our meet and greet there was an instant connection. If I could give Janis 10 stars ? I would. She took care of my Skye as one of her own. I appreciated the daily pictures and video updates, that reassured me that my baby was in good hands. Her 3 furbabies are adorable and got along great with Skye. Her babies were very welcoming and made Skye feel right at home. Both my fiancé and we left very impressed with her professionalism, kindness, and her love for animals. Janis is trust worthy and I highly recommend her. I will most definitely leave Skye with her again in the future. ?”

About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years now and just LOVE animals. Some of my own pets have had medical issues (seizures, blindness, heart issues) so I am very familiar with how to care with not only healthy pets but ones with medical needs as well. We have fostered puppies for a local rescue, so we are also familiar with how to handle the hyper activity of a new family member. I have a full time job, but we do come home during lunch to check on our babies and take them out to potty. We are usually home all evening so your fur baby will not be alone after we get out of work. If you are looking into my dog walking services, that can be completed right after work, for however long you need the services. I have a fully fenced yard and my dogs are never left outside unattended. My wife and I care deeply about our own dogs and would put the same care and love into your dogs as well. Our dogs are not crate trained and are allowed to roam the house during the day, but we could crate your dog if that is what you prefer.

“Dawn was great! She took wonderful care of our little Maggie while we were on vacation. We appreciated the updates and the daily photos. We came home to a picture collage of Maggie. It was so sweet and was the perfect touch! Thanks again, Dawn! We will definitely book again!”
About: Ive always enjoyed the little joy animals get when it comes to simple things such as using a high pitch to ask if they want to go on a walk or calling their name. I’m on a babysitting app and I’d love to try interacting with animals since they’re amazing .Animals and humans are different but the responsibility is kind of similar in which I bring. Im a college student so my classes are a little strange that had open gaps which comes with flexibility and just ready to help people throughout my time! I have a cat myself and treat her like my absolute child because animals can also be family members so of course I’ll be treating any animal as my own.
“Serena was a great cat feeder. My cat Belly loved getting pets from her. Bob was a little shy, but hopefully he will get used to her. We plan on using her in late October if she is available.”
About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.
About: I have always been a fan of cats, growing up I would try to sneak home barn cats when my family went to take care of our horses. Once I got to college I adopted my first cat, she’s a beautiful flame point and a snuggle bug although it took her 3 months to let me near her. I totally understand the finicky nature of cats as my first cat was super shy and my current cat is a big snuggle bug. I also have experience in administering medications to cats as my first cat had asthma and some other genetic health issues.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.
About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.

“Heather was amazing with our dog, Mochi! This was our first time leaving Mochi with someone so we were a bit nervous, but Heather sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She also gave us some tips for treats and nailcare when we picked Mochi up, which was super helpful for first-time dog owners like us. I highly recommend Heather to anyone needing dog care and wanting someone they can trust!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention.

Unfortunately he had to undergo emergency surgery (unrelated to her care) and I had to cancel, but Cindy’s immediate confirmation and response time was great and I hope to book with her again when Woodfords feeling better.”

My kiddos will all be in school and out of the house, so, I'm wide open on scheduling. We have a fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking. We can play with your pets after feeding and watering. After the last visit of the day, we will clean and dispose of any droppings in the yard, so you can come home to a clean start!

About: I am a 30 year old stay at home mom of one and dog mom of four. We love to play in our large fenced yard. We would love to have your furbabies over for a fun day of playing and rest. Our fur family includes 6 year old miniature dachshund siblings, Cami and Cooper, ten year old, great pyrenees Boomer, and eleven year old dachshund- mix Oliver. We typically start off our day outside chasing squirrels, chewing sticks, and playing fetch. Then we have our morning treat. After treat time we make sure to take a potty break followed by a nap on the couch. Boomer loves to sneak off to the bedrooms and get back in the bed for an afternoon snooze. The rest of the afternoon we play inside with all of our toys and bones before going outside to play some more. Around 7 o'clock every night we eat dinner, take our last potty break and get in the bed with mom and dad.

About: I’ve owned, loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I recently retired from the military and have more free time to do the things that I love, so here I am :) I have a lot of availability and here when you need help with your fur baby! I'm open to also house sitting in my own home but know from my experience pets usually love to be in a place they are familiar with already. I cater my services to whatever you need. Each animal is unique and my goal is to get to know them and provide them the best care possible.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!
“Arden is Wonderful ! Our corgi is thrilled with her and she is super professional, responsive, friendly and loving. Smart and intuitive and knows just what he needs (walk/play etc). We are already rebooking and highly recommend!”

“We are so thankful for Karen as this is our third time in using her for our long trips to walk our dog. She goes above and beyond. You can tell her love for dogs from the messages she sends daily! It brings me comfort to know he’s been treated well.”
About: I’ve taken care of mostly all types of pets possible. I’m experienced in walking,feeding,bathing and much more. I’ve had serval pets that I’ve taken care of for years. It would be a pleasure to take care of yours next! Full open availability! I can work anytime and days of the weeks including holidays with advanced notice. At least 2 day notice would be great! I will follow any instructions and rules you have for your pets. I will give any medication or special diet food that are required for your fur babies. I will take great care of your pets like their were my own.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: My name is Maggie and I am a huge animal lover. I grew up surrounded by animals, whether that be livestock or household pets. I started pet sitting for my neighbors at a young age and have been continuing my pet care journey into adulthood. Because of my many years of experience I am well informed on all sorts of animal care styles, I even worked for a pet boarding and doggy day care facility so I have knowledge in large group settings and smaller group settings of animals. My family has had experience with special needs pets and I am well-versed in animals that need a little extra care and love. I can’t wait to meet your pet and have fun with them! Currently, most of my time is spent with your pets! When I am not walking dogs or cleaning litter boxes I spend most of my time at home baking, taking care of my cat and fish tanks, and working for friends and people I’ve met as a pet/house sitter. Because of my open schedule I have the ability to give endless time and love to your pets! I live in an apartment with my kitty, she’s great with all animals and very social however if your pet does not get along well with her I have the ability to separate them in different rooms. Because of my experience gained throughout my life and at my former job at a pet boarding facility I am also well versed in administering medications and taking care of special needs animals as my family has rescued multiple animals that need a little extra care.

I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have 4 years of experience with both cats and dogs! I have volunteered in vet clinics and shelters, as well as being vet technician. I have a dog named Draco who is 8 months, a dog named chip who is 2, and a cat named Cheddar who just turned 1! I can’t wait to give you and your pets the help they need! I have a part-time job as a server so I will have to work around my schedule with my job to help you out. I am free on Mondays and Wednesday as those are the days I don’t work but other days I mainly work nights. I’m willing to fix you into my schedule in a way that’s best for you! I make sure to always put the pets first. I have a routine of feeding and taking the animals on walks. I am willing to follow whichever routine you have set for your pets and guarantee their safety.
About: I have over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting! I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time. I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.
About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.
About: I love taking care of babies. Dogs make me happy. I have 2 of my own, but my love won't let me have anymore. This way I can love more. I've never seen a dog as just "a dog". My Border Collie saved me as much as I saved her. I think dogs bring a "peace" to their human. I've saved quite a lot, I use to find them, and if I couldn't find their human, I'd give them a home, show them love and then get to work finding the perfect home. I want to be able to spread love to as many pups as I can. If I'm tending to your baby. It's important that you know I'll love them and treat them as my own.

“This was my first time leaving Duke with someone and I was really worried he would not do well. We had gone on a meet and greet 2 days before and Duke got along well with Melinda and her 2 dogs but I was still apprehensive. When it came time to drop him off he jumped right out of the car and ran up to Melinda and her husband without hesitation and went right in the house ! Melinda kept me informed with pictures of Duke having a great time and I have to say Duke misses his new friends. I would highly recommend Melinda anytime and will definitely take more trips now that I know he will be well cared for and loved. Dr Dan”
“Haiku had a really good time staying with you all. Thanks for being great host at a busy time of the year. I would highly recommend your services. Thanks again for all you do.”
