“I had to leave my dog for two weeks, which I had to do but Amber made it so much easier! My dog came back happy, clean and well loved. Great communication, would definitely book again”
“Jennifer was great, she was very responsive when we first reached out, during our dogs stay she provided daily updates and pictures. She was also flexible during drop off and pick up. We will use her again soon!”
“She kept in contact with me the entire time as well as sent photos. She was very responsive (and quick with them), her home was clean and inviting, and her times were super flexible. She also gave us a sweet gift when our stay was over, she really cares about the babies she’s watching. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Daniela is such a greater person with dogs! she took care of my Mia for a week after getting spayed. Even though Mia is not trained, Daniela had the patience and the ability to take care of her. She was there for Mia 24/7 since she needed extra care. I definitely recommend her!”

“Ivette is amazing! I had an odd situation where I was on vacation for a wedding and needed new boarding mid vacation and Ivette was so flexible, positive and informative. Communication was honestly above and beyond and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She even used one of her own slow feeders for my dog when she noticed him eating too quickly! So thoughtful! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Amanda was once again incredible with Boone! She took him on at the last minute, and gave him all the attention, love and playtime he could ever want. It’s like a little vacation for him. We look forward to continuing our service with Amanda in the future - she’s awesome!”

“Marsha is the most wonderful, communicative, and understanding pet sitter we've ever had. She took care of Peyton like she was her own, and truly went above and beyond. Can't thank you enough, Marsha!”
“Layla and Gracie provided a drop-in for my 3 pups. They were very prompt, loving, and provided some great pics. I’m looking forward to their overnight stay here soon, knowing my dogs are in great hands.”
About: I've always had multiple cats in the home since my mother was a veterinarian growing up! I learned the basics from her, but really honed my skills being the Team Lead for 9 Tails Pet Care LLC in Virginia. While taking care of other's babies, I was also providing life saving care to my own at home. At 10years old, my orange baby Peaches was diagnosed with heart failure at a terrifying hospital visit. With incredible guidance and my own paranoid vigilance, she lived another happy 10 months! Having to pill her twice per day and keep a close eye, I became something of a pro. No small detail will get past me. When I'm with your babies, they're treated as my own!
“We absolutely loved having her look after our cats! She was thoughtful, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay. We especially appreciated how patient and caring she was with our difficult cat, Gigi. She never stopped trying to make friends with her while respecting her space, and it was obvious she truly cared about our cats’ well being. We’d gladly have her back anytime!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was young. I grew up with them, have fostered them and been a cat owner. I love cats and understand that you have to earn their trust and affection and that some would prefer their space while others can be cuddly and want attention. I also know some can be a little playful with their claws and am pretty good at reading their cues and can handle a scratch or two.
“Kyle was amazing! He provided drop ins for my 3 dogs while I was out of town with only a few days notice. He was willing to stop by for a meet and greet a few days before I left so I was able to walk through their routine with him. He also sent several pictures of my dogs during his check ins. Honestly, some of the best pictures I have of them and they always looked so happy in each of them. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Kylee did a great job caring for Meeko & Winston. She had good attention to detail, especially with their routine along with Meeko’s medications. Thorough & useful notes on the daily card.”
About: work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care—whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them. I work remotely full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with the pets in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m house sitting in theirs. For dogs staying with me, I’m home throughout the day for plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent potty and play breaks in our fenced yard. They’re welcome to hang out with me while I work or find a comfortable spot to relax and nap. When I’m house sitting, I can work remotely from your home so your pets can enjoy the same companionship while staying in their familiar environment. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and downtime. Wherever I’m caring for your pet, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their time away from you feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my priority. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and each pet’s individual needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and care routines. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, or take a break when they need one. I’m experienced with multi-dog households, different play styles, and recognizing when a dog needs some space. I also have gates to block access to stairs or separate areas of the home when needed, as well as multiple large crates for dogs who are crate-trained and feel most comfortable having their own space. When I’m house sitting, I’ll care for your pets and your home with the same attention I give my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s usual routine, respect any household rules or safety precautions, and make sure your home is secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve been taking care of family members cats since I was young. Now, I personally have 3 cats (4 year old, 3 year old, and a 10 month) along with my 2 dogs! Cats are so misunderstood - the love of a cat is unmatched!
“Katherine was amazing with my kitties. This was our first time ever using someone with Rover or any other service vs someone we know personally. Super worth it and I felt at ease the entire time! She was very thorough and is so kind and funny and takes great pictures. You can tell when people have a way with animals. :) I'll be partnering with Katherine again for trips in the future!”
“Thanks Team Tamara for going above and beyond in filling the birdbaths and tending to the community cat dish outside, even bringing in our garbage bin! Much appreciated! I did the max tip!”
“Brianna took great care of our two Goldens for a whole week! It was our first time hiring a pet sitter so we were really nervous to have someone come to our home and care for our babies but after meeting Brianna, we immediately knew we were in good hands. We got daily pictures and updates, she was always on schedule and we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was clear that they were very well loved and cared for while we were away. I am so glad we found Brianna - we will definitely work with her again! Thank you, Brianna!!”
About: I have taken care of other pets since elementary school. Neighbors and friends, even farm animals like sheep and goats. I can take care of it all! I currently work part time and I’m just looking to make some more money over the summer. I have some extra free time while I’m on break form school so why not make some extra cash to save. I currently live in an apartment but there are multiple dog parks close by and plenty of space for nice long walks. It’s only me and my dog I’m my apartment right now but she is very well mannered and mellow.
About: I’ve always had animals from a young age from small bunnies to big horses. We have an excellent relationship with Welch Veterinary Clinic and Hartland Grooming if you want us to take your dog for a doggy spa day. My 16 year old daughter, Brittan and I spend time to take care of our pets and we love your pets like our very own! We live on a farm, we have four friendly dogs for playmates. We take the dogs on walks on the back roads, lots of playtime, and snuggles at night. We have a small crate for small dogs, and a small room area for big dogs and also a fenced in yard and outdoor kennel.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 20 years. I have all kinds of experience with different dogs and different temperaments. I am very patient and kind. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all the time. We have 3 dogs, a 10 year old border collie Australian cattle dog mix, a 5 year old blue heeler and a 5 year old chihuahua. All very sweet dogs and all absolutely love to play. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs to keep your dogs company. Lots and lots of play time. I can crate your dog or keep them separated if needed. We allow our dog to sleep in the bed with us so we do not mind if your dog needs to sleep in the bed. I have easy access to walking trails and can walk your dogs if they need some extra exercise.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Upton
“Kyle was very friendly and professional when I dropped my dog off to him, he was flexible with my work schedule. I highly recommend him. I could tell that my dog had a good time when I picked him up. I for sure will use him in the future. Thank you Kyle!”
“Hope provides A+++ service, care and compassion for my big guy Ghost a 115lb 2.5 year-old German Shepard/Husky mix. As my regularly scheduled doggy daycare sitter, I would describe Hope as incredibly caring, attentive, responsive, and fair. She makes me as a dog owner as well as my dog Ghost incredibly comfortable. Since attending regularly scheduled doggy daycare with her on the days I work my shifts (I’m nurse, RN), Ghost’s overall state of mind and resulting behavior has dramatically improved overall. When he comes home after his stay with Hope, he is dramatically more calm, content and relaxed. Improvements in behavior, mood, and overall well-being which I attribute to the care Hope provides for my dog. All in all, I can’t be more thankful to have found Hope to take care of my dog and best friend.”
“We had the BEST experience with Daniela and her family! 🥰 She sent us plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the friendly vibes, great communication, and most of all, how loved and well cared for our baby was. ❤️ Definitely the best experience we’ve had on Rover! We would absolutely book with Daniela again! 🐾✨”
About: Hi there! I’m a Minnesota born, Bastrop-based dog lover and I’m glad you’ve found my profile. I've been around dogs my entire life and believe a dog makes a house a home. My own fur baby, Milou, is a 5 year old lab mix who loves other dogs and people. He will gladly accept a pal to join us on walks, or chase around the backyard. I have 5+ years experience volunteering with various animal shelters and a plethora of nights & weekends spent house/dog sitting for friends and family. I love to explore new trails, parks, & hikes so your pup's stay will be an active one! I am also a runner and will gladly take your dog along to burn off some extra energy. I took a couple years off from Rover as my family relocated several times. Now that we are settled in the Austin area, I am ready to get back to dog sitting/walking/boarding, and hope to meet you soon! I work from home so I am around to provide company, potty breaks, and perhaps even a lunchtime trip to the dog park! Canine coworkers are my favorite. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to roam safely. My dog loves hanging out back there and would enjoy a teammate to help him put the neighborhood squirrels in their place ;)
“Amanda is an amazing dog sitter that I highly, highly recommend. She is not only responsive, prompt and flexible, but she is also kind and loving. Truly authentic and has a heart of gold. My husky/german sheppard mix Ghost has not only been taken care of while at her house, but he has been truly loved and cared for. I can’t recommend Amanda enough for any pet service you may be looking for.”

My two dogs enjoy a spacious backyard, offering them freedom and fresh air. I walk them regularly, believing dogs thrive when connecting with nature and living freely
About: We wanna watch your sweet baby!!!!!! I love and understand dogs so that means I won’t derail your dog training. I trained my dog to be so polite that she now weaponizes it against me lol. I know how frustrating it is when you go out of town and come back to a slightly worse behaved dog so I will make sure to continue your typical rules while you’re gone. I also have a great backyard for them to go run around and play, your dog (and me) will have so much fun!!!! I only watch 1 dog at a time. I have a medium sized dog and her best friends are always tiny dogs. Your tiny dog will be the boss of my dog. I work from home, we go play dog soccer in the backyard multiple times a day. My dog like to chill in the yard and stare at birds, I mostly let them go out whenever they want Your dog will get physical AND mental stimulation! A tired dog is a good dog. They will get to go potty as many times a day as they want, as I work from home. I have a fenced yard, I have a crate if you choose that for your dog.
“This was my pups first Rover experience and Amber was so great at making me feel comfortable. She sent me photos throughout the day and gave me updates. My pup was well cared for and had lots of fun!”
“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”
“First time with Gracie, and Milo did very well. He has a new friend in Mocha. Gracie tried to engage him, even though he usually keeps to himself. Very good experience and we are happy with the care that Milo received. 🥰”

PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both owning my own dogs and providing boarding for other families’ pets. Caring for dogs has been a meaningful part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, daily walks, playtime, crate routines, basic grooming, administering oral medication, and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Because I care for only one to three dogs at a time, I can provide personalized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and relax under close supervision. I understand that every owner wants to know their pet is happy and safe. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. My goal is to give every dog a safe, loving, and comfortable experience while giving their family complete peace of mind. Welcome! I’m a dedicated dog lover who provides a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your dog will be treated like family. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air in a secure environment. Because I spend most of my time at home, your dog will receive lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I intentionally accept only one to three dogs at a time so every guest receives personalized care instead of being part of a large group. I understand that every dog has different needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior dog, or requires medication, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and maintain their regular routine. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away. You’ll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I’ll send multiple photo and video updates every day so you can enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is having a wonderful time. For your convenience, I also offer pick-up and drop-off services. I speak both English and Mandarin Chinese, making communication easy for both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking families. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm, smoke-free, pet-friendly home where every dog is cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their families, and I look forward to welcoming your furry friend into my home. Thank you for considering me. I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved companion! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free single-family home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play under my supervision. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure they have a secure, comfortable indoor space to rest and relax. I only accept a small number of dogs at a time so I can provide each pet with plenty of individual attention and closely monitor their behavior. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special care requests to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Before introducing dogs to one another, I consider their personalities and comfort levels to ensure a safe and positive experience. If needed, I can keep dogs separated to reduce stress and provide one-on-one care. Throughout your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. If I notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or health, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your instructions. If an emergency ever occurs, I will seek veterinary care right away and keep you informed every step of the way. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels at home and every owner feels confident and reassured.
“Julian was a total life saver for me!! All of the photos and status updates he gave me throughout the day were so comforting. I could tell Jameson was in good hands & having the best day with his sweet Lulu. Thank you Julian!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Upton
About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, we’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, small pets, chickens, goats, and even donkeys. We take the time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine, which allows us to offer flexible and consistent care. I am a full-time online veterinary technician student, and my sister Gracie is volunteering regularly at a local animal shelter with the goal of becoming a veterinary assistant. Because of our availability, you’ll be able to depend on us for walks, check-ins, and overnight care every day of the week. Your pets will always have priority in our schedules and routines!

We spend quality time with each pet based on their needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. We’re happy to provide updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've had a lot of pets in my life. I currently have 6 dogs and 3 cats. I have experience with reactive dogs and dog selective dogs. I deal mostly with large and extra large dogs but have owned medium and small dogs. I've worked for a boarding kennel before so I have some professional experience with that. I am also a current foster to shelter dogs so I see different breeds and personalities all the time. I work a full time job. I work nights so I'm usually available during the day early mornings and evenings on the days I work. I can always find a way to make it work. I have dogs that do not get along with other dogs or people. I am very used to a crate and rotate schedule and I'm very conscious of my dogs mood and behavior. I also have foster dogs, so I have new dogs in and out and ensuring safety is my top priority.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I currently have been taking care of my senior dog and cat who require lots of medical attention, so I have a lot of experience with giving medications and tending to special needs. My current part time job is very flexible so I have a lot of available time to help care for your sweet cats and dogs. I will care for the clients pet in the same way I would care for my own pet. With a lot of love and care!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered both and been a cat owner. I have also helped friends and acquaintances with their pets while they are away. My experience includes walking dogs, scooping 💩, changing litter boxes, providing food and play to pets, and completing general house sitting tasks. I have also administered eye medications to kittens before and allergy meds to dogs. I have also lived on a couple of farms and helped take care of horses, goats, chickens, and even a rabbit. I would love to take care of your pet and offer you the peace of mind to know I will love on and care for them as if they were my own :) I’m self-employed, so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. Specifically, I am a Certified Public Accountant who quit her consulting job to become a part-time farmer! I am currently operating my own micro-farm growing organic vegetables and flowers in South Austin which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I am available for boarding, house-sitting, pet walking and drop-in visits to feed and play with cats and dogs (and other animals on a case by case basis). I am happy to visit and care for a variety of pets by feeding and playing with them as well as helping with any household tasks including plant watering, checking the mail and throwing out trash/recycling. I am currently living in a tiny home on my own on a large plot of land with plenty of access to unfenced outdoor space if you are interested in boarding your pets. I am also very happy to come to your home for drop-in visits and/or to stay overnight if you and your pets would be more comfortable with that option. For dogs, I am happy to spend time indoors with them playing with toys and giving them good belly scratches as well as take them outdoors either into the backyard and/or on walks. I have experience both with big dogs including a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees lab mix, Australian Shepherds, and shelter dogs as well as smaller dogs including a Teacup Pomeranian and an Iggie. I’m very active, so if your dog has a lot of energy and likes to go on runs, I am happy to run with them as well. For cats, I am happy to match their energy levels - if they are playful and energetic, I engage with them and encourage play. If they prefer to sleep or rest or are more shy, I am happy to just be around and pet them/brush them if they would like or just give them space. I am happy to care for other pets if requested and I am comfortable with the care instructions. I have previously cared for a tortoise, which mainly consisted of feeding him and giving him water.
About: I am the owner and operator of Buckaroo Bark Club LLC! I am fully insured, have a website and Google business page, and am available full time for you & your babies🤗🐾 Growing up with a veterinarian mother, we always had multiple pets in the home! When I was 22 I adopted my soulmate, Peaches. Five years later, she was diagnosed with heart failure at a terrifying hospital visit. My quick (panicked) reaction, and the incredible doctors, saved her life. She lived another happy 10 months with vigilance and guidance! Having to pill her twice a day, and keep a close eye, I became a pro! At the same time, I was taking care of clients pets, never missing a beat. June 2026 I moved from Virginia where I was one half of 9 Tails Pet Care LLC! You'll see my name mentioned in the Google reviews. We had about 50 clients, some were every day dog walks, some were just vacation bookings, but I loved them all! I was the team lead, and lead caregiver for three years. You can see from my photos, I cared for all kinds of animals. Not much intimidates me anymore lol! Special skills include giving medications, insulin, incredible patience and attention to detail. I'm annoyingly attentive to the weird little individual things- who's nervous, who needs patience, who has a routine, who's uncomfortable, who can I make MORE comfortable, what might the owner worry about while they're away. Every pet, every visit, is treated like my own. I am available, and used to, a full time pet care schedule! Having just moved from my last position in Virginia, I'm ready to establish an incredible client base here in Bastrop. I have a large fenced yard at home, on a quiet street. Pets will never be left unattended, and will always be on leash when leaving the home. Pets will always be handled gently and with care, while maintaining a strong grip on the leash! Water bowls will be clean and filled at every visit, every time. In home cameras are welcome to keep a close eye on your baby! I will also be snapping pictures for you to follow along on our adventures.
About: I have lots of experience with different types of animals. We have three inside kitties that were rescued when they were still bottle feeding. Two years ago we lost our 19 year old Labrador to old age. And the year before that we lost our 16 year old chow chow to old age. I will feed, water, walk and clean up after the babies. I am a full time store manager for Hobby Lobby. I Rover on the side to help my youngest daughter pay for her wedding. I am available most evenings after 6p. I do not wish to care for anyone’s fur babies in my home. It would stress my kitties and I will not put them through any stress. I will take very good care of your fur babies in your home. I will follow all instructions given for their care and do my best to make the visit as comfortable as possible for the babies.
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a child and raised two dogs from small puppies until they died at the ripe age of 14 years. I have 14 years of experience taking care of dogs. During the weekdays I work as a teacher at the local high school, so I am unavailable during the day until about 4:30 PM. In the evenings I can walk your dog, go to your home to check up on your dog, and over the weekends I can dig sit for you if it's needed. I live in a building that does not allow pets, so you can't leave your pet at my house to be watched unfortunately. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work as a high school teacher during weekdays but am available in the evenings and weekends. Normally I'm out of school by about 4:30pm. Please ask me about taking care of your dog during holidays. I'm often free to care or your pet full time then. I'm very attentive to how dogs communicate, and do not let them out of my sight when walking or dog siting them. I follow owner instructions such as what time a dog needs his medications exactly.
About: Animals hold a massive piece of my heart, and I have dedicated my life to their care and well-being. My mission began over 15 years ago when I started rescuing animals and finding them loving forever homes. Over the years, I have deepened this commitment by working directly in animal shelters, volunteering, and fostering for rescues. For me, ensuring that animals live a life full of love, safety, and happiness is truly a life calling. I have been a professional pet sitter for over eight years. Because of my extensive background in shelter environments and rescue work, I am deeply comfortable working with all breeds, sizes, and unique behaviors. Full-Time Dedicated Care I recently relocated from Houston to Paige, where I continue to pursue pet care as my dedicated, full-time profession. Because this is my full-time job, I am able to offer an exceptional level of quality care and attentiveness that sets my services apart. We are now settled on a beautiful one-acre of land with tons of open space for your pets to enjoy! It is the perfect, peaceful setting for animals to explore safely and relax.

Constant Companionship: I am with them the vast majority of the time, ensuring routine stability, safety, and endless affection. Tailored Exercise: My absolute priority is honoring your pet’s existing schedule and unique needs. I am a very active person and an avid walker, so whether your dog wants to run and utilize our spacious acreage or just enjoy a peaceful stroll, their energy needs will be fully met! In-Home Care (At Your Property): I am also available to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. While staying at your property, I am more than happy to help keep things running smoothly by tending to your plants, collecting mail, and ensuring your home stays safe and secure. I look forward to welcoming your beloved pets into my care, giving them a joyful, spacious, and stress-free experience, and providing you with total peace of mind! My schedule is very flexible.

About: I’ve been a huge dog lover since I was ten years old! Growing up, I pet-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, and keeping pups entertained. I’ve owned three dogs throughout my life and am currently a proud Shih Tzu owner, so I definitely know my way around a big 'lion dog' personality! I also enjoy training; I’ve taught my dogs everything from basic sits and paw-shakes to 'wait' commands for meals and even some fun moves like dancing. I truly just love being around dogs! I'm currently a full time college student but I still have lots of time to play and take care of your dogs! My availability is usually in the afternoon on weekdays and mostly open throughout the day on weekends. Just send me a message and I'll coordinate as best with your times! When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your dog's familiar routine to keep them stress free. I stick to your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules! And I make sure to have fun with them :)
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have two dogs of my own, so my house and life are always full of wagging tails and happy paws. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years and love making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I attended vet tech school and worked in a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care and health. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life since I have pets of my own. Walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure animals feel comfortable are all built into my routine. Pet sitting fits easily into my schedule, and I genuinely enjoy making time for animals so they get the attention, care, and cuddles they deserve while their owners are away. Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel safe and relaxed. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they get lots of love and attention. I pay attention to their personalities and comfort levels and always make sure they feel cared for and at ease while their owner is away.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Great Pyrenees, raised puppies from birth, loved senior dogs through their golden years, and cared for rescue dogs with unique personalities and needs. My own family includes four spoiled pups: a 12-year-old Chihuahua, a 12-year-old rescue, and two playful French Bulldog puppies who keep me on my toes every day. They are my babies, and I know that’s exactly how you feel about yours. I understand that hiring a sitter means trusting someone with a member of your family. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and all the little things that help them feel happy and secure. I am taking the summer off before returning to school three days a week this fall. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My own daily routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight care fits naturally into my day. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve rather than feeling rushed between appointments. I treat every pet as if they were my own: with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personalities and routines. I know that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether that’s medication, feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, or bedtime routines, I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, keep a clean environment, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furbaby is happy and well cared for.
“Sierra is super sweet and my pup Khaleesi absolutely loved her. She’s extremely responsive and went above and beyond to come meet us before her first walk with my dog. She has great energy and will absolutely be booking again. Thank you!”
About: I became a dog parent two years ago and have learned so much about dogs! I’m ready to open my home to more furry friends. I’m a recent grad and currently looking for a full-time job so in the meantime, I’m home and available to take care of your doggies full time. I have a big fenced yard where my own furry baby Siri loves to run around and play with. Inside my home, my Siri and furry friend are allowed to roam free but can easily accommodate for crate trained pets.
About: I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals. I love animals and love learning about them. I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays
About: Since childhood our home was practically a zoo! I have friends, family ,coworkers & more who have relied on me to care for their pets when they’ve gone out of town or in the process of moving, etc I also have been volunteering at the local shelter fostering kittens and some puppies for about 6 years. I’m detail oriented, very loving and eager to care for your fur babies ! I currently am a stay at home mom and wife. I have lots of flexibility and a desire to care for your animals. Mostly free mornings and evenings for check ins but can do mid day check ins as well if schedule aligns. I have reliable transportation to get to and from check-ins and overnights. I also am comfortable providing medication on as needed basis. I will treat them as my own !

So thoughtful! Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I grew up in a home full of animals and continue that life today with two cats and two dogs in the Manor area. My dogs absolutely love having friends over and are used to new pups visiting weekly. They’re friendly, social, and do great with both large and small dogs. My cats are comfortable around dogs and have safe spaces if they prefer privacy. When your pet stays with us, they’re treated like one of our own, with full roaming privileges throughout our home unless you prefer otherwise. As a very hands-on sitter, I provide lots of love, attention, and frequent updates with photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I work in corporate HR and have flexibility to work from home 2-3 days a week. I have flexibility for mid-day visits, walks, etc as needed. Outside of typical working hours, I am generally available at night and throughout weekends as well as I am local and know the downtown area well. Additionally, my partner works 100% remotely and will be available for the care of your pet. We treat all animals in our care as if they’re our own. We believe in allowing them to roam, sit on our sofas, sleep in our room, and play in the backyard as our other animals do. If your pet requires special accommodations/restrictions, we have a second floor that can be gated off for their privacy. We also have spare crates if your pet requires crating.
