“Ande was a reliable and courteous pet sitter! She messaged me each day to let me know she had been by the house, and she sent a couple photos as well. I first met Ande last summer when she was the foster mom of my cat Poppi.

About: Hi! I’m Lilli, a dependable animal lover with 4+ years of petsitting experience and a lifetime of caring for my own pets. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. I have just graduated high school and currently working part time while also starting real estate. I have plenty of free time and mostly an open schedule for your convenience! My own animals have a full backyard they love to play in they love to have their indoor time as well playing with as many toys as they can! I constantly take my dogs on walks in the mornings and evenings to ensure they are getting all their needs met
“Troy was great! He was very reliable and Dallas loved him. He made sure she was taken care of. He spent time just sitting outside with her and sending us constant updates and pictures from each drop in. We were able to relax while on vacation knowing our dog was being taken care of. We highly recommend him for taking care of your pets and will be using him again the next time we are out of town.”

“Jessica is simply the best! My kitty loved having her visit while I was away! I am forever grateful for the care and love she gave during my time away. She's a real animal lover that goes above and beyond! She is trustworthy and I will always have her care for my animals when I am away.”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 15. I've had experience with dogs as small as a 5lb mini chihuahua to a giant great pyrenees. I currently live with a rottweiler named Ruby and a cat named PJ (short for pajama). I'd love to meet your animals! I am currently working from home and have a lose schedule so I am super available to take care of any needs you might have. Dogs or other animals that require extra care, like multiple walks a day or lots of attention, are no problem for me! If needed/wanted I am able (and would love to) take extra time to play with your animals so more than their basic needs are met. I recognize that animals need more than just food and water, social and play time are just as important. Plus, I am pretty good at feeding animals as well.

About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire life, small to large breed, we love dogs! Our little one absolutely loves having them around, being outside, throwing ball, treats, etc. So, your pet would need to be great with kids :) We live in the beautiful Whittier neighborhood with plenty of walking options. Our backyard is enclosed with a high eight foot fence. So, your pet would be plenty comfortable. Or, if you're away, I could come to your pet for their time outdoors. I have a small SUV, so transportation is always an option! We're comfortable letting your pet roam the house while we're here and away. We would only take on more than one dog after talking to the owner of our current stay, and the dogs are compatible, or they come from the same home! With that said, we do not have any four legged pets of our own.... only tanked ones ;) three amano shrimp, two tetras, and two narite snails! So, your pet will have the luxury of our undivided attention! When your pet would come to stay with us, we do ask for as much info/'their 'stuff' as you can bring/provide regarding your pets normal/routine at their home, commands, tricks, toys, food, bedding... etc so your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time here, and so we can keep them in as much of a similar framework as their home. The Rover site allows for pics and videos. So, we like to take a few during their stay and send them to owners! Our current stay and past stays have really enjoyed this! Prior to you or us making a decision on your pets stay, we would like for you all and your pet to visit our home. This will allow you to see and get a sense of our neighborhood and home - where your pet will be staying, and meet us! I hope this has been helpful for you!
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”


“Rosie was a fantastic sitter to our two cats! We just moved into a new home, so the cats are a bit more skittish than usual and figuring out their new hiding spots and escape routes. Rosie was super flexible and understanding of all of this, and did a wonderful job taking care of them. The cat we thought would never make an appearance actually did — twice!”
“I scheduled a drop in visit for my cat Heidi and we did a meet and greet beforehand. Meera bonded with my cat Heidi right away and made me feel very comfortable that she was in good hands. She even brought her a new toy that she loves, on her drop in. Meera definitely has a way with cats. I will definitely use her again!”

“We absolutely adore Jaclyn! My dog is only with her one day a week for daycare but I have noticed such a significant improvement in her mood. She is much happier and when I pick her up from Jaclyn I can see the sparkle in her eyes again 🥰”

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Heidi made Louie part of her family while he was there. She sent me pictures and videos all day of him being loved and spoiled. Fantastic communication and care.”

About: My family and I absolutely love dogs we lost ours recently and I am not ready to get another one but would love to care for yours like he/she was our own. I have 3 very energetic kiddos that would love to play with and give lots of love and cuddles to your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us. Please be understanding that no pets in the bed, its a very full bed already with 3 kids under 6.

“Charity was super responsive and sent pictures of Jax right away! My schedule was a bit in flux and Charity was very understanding and willing to work with me. Jax came home happy and tuckered out from a day of playing!”

“Fantastic first experience with Lindsay. She did doggy daycare for my two big pups at her house and everything went swimmingly. You can tell she loves dogs and they felt comfortable with her. I received adorable pictures and updates throughout. I recommend and I will use her again!”

About: I’m very caring and attentive to all animals and I am here to look after and play with them when you are unavailable. I have plenty of experience watching dogs, cats, and even reptiles on several different occasions for a few years now and I will never get tired of meeting new ones! I have a passionate love for animals and believe they deserve the best care possible. I’ve been looking for a job and came to the conclusion this is the best for me. Getting paid to care and tend to animals and even just hanging and chilling with them doesn’t even seem like a job to me but more like a fun time. As of right now, I have all the time in the world to look after pets and be their friend. Contact me whenever you need me! :) I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. I do not have a fence but and perfectly fine taking dogs out on the leash for the bathroom or just for a walk. If you have any special requests or advice when you need me to look after them I am all ears and waiting for the details.
“Great experience and service and Boodah loved going back each day. Kierstan was awesome and helped me navigate some tricky scheduling changes around festival performances. 10 stars!”


“So happy we found Diana for our Jax!! He loves going over and playing! He knows when we get in the car every Friday where he is heading. Diana takes excellent care of our little one amd treats him like her own, even sends pictures and updates throughout the day! Highly recommend leaving your pet with her.”

“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”

About: I've had pets (cats, dogs and bunnies) for as long as I can remember. (40 + years) I have taken care of peoples animals many times throughout my life. I'm known for being an animal lover and have been told that I have a way with them. Even when other people's pets have been afraid of other people their pets have felt comfortable with me. I work from home, and am there most of the time. Our little toy poodle that we've had for 12 years just passed away and we slept with her, held her as we were doing school/ work and took her everywhere with us. So I'm very happy and comfortable having fur babies by my side throughout the day and being with me whatever I am doing. We have a five unfenced acre farm with a horse and a sheep. We don't live on a main road. I'm fine with your pets being out of a crate.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, with skills for basic training. Your pets happiness and safety is my priority. Thank you! I work remote and have the time to spend with your furry companion. I have two dogs of my own that I foster. My schedule is open and flexible to meet your dogs needs. I live in a three story townhouse that allows me the space to observe each dogs temperament to see how they interact with other dogs.
“This is the 2nd dog we entrusted Charlie with and she had a great time. She loves running and playing in the big yard with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Charlie again.”

“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

“Cannoli took to Arnie immediately which is really unusual for her. But they get along great and I know she lives the walks! When comes home she crashes for an hour or so. Arnie is early and takes good care of Cannoli. Very much appreciated. I definitely went with the right walker!”

About: I have stepped up and taken care of pets from family members since I can remember. I am very active and love walking and engaging with any dog and being a companion to any furry friend. I have always valued dogs being an integral part of any family. I am a college student but at nights and weekends is when I am most available. Throughout the day I am available in between classes to stop by and check in. Whenever I am home I will offer companionship and am all for frequent walks and/ or playing. I live with 3 other responsible people who love animals and can keep them company as well.
About: I have owned many different breeds of dogs including Rottweiler/Shepheard mix, German Shorthaired pointer poodels and more. I have watched my family, pets when they go on vacation I am a semi-retired nurse. I currently manage some real estate which does not take much of my time. This is a perfect way for me to spend more time doing what I love which is being outdoors, and being with dogs. I have a fenced yard and one very friendly terrier mix. I have crates available if needed. I live in a nice neighborhood where I can easily walk your pooch if you are boarding. I have reliable transportation to come to your house to walk you dog. I can also, if requested, drive your dog to a park to walk them.

“Rosie is consistent, reliable, and proactive in her comms. She always sends pictures of food, walks, treats, etc and she helps put your mind at ease with her dependability! Rosie is the best!”

About: I have decades of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a reactive/senior dog that I have had since he was a puppy. He also suffered from severe separation anxiety, that I had to help him with when we first got him. I rescued him from the Humane Society. I have had training with him, to help give him his best life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten to senior age and every age in between. I do have basic pet training skills, including leash training, as well. I also can administer oral medication when needed for dogs. I have experience with dogs with special needs, such as, blindness and special dietary needs. I have experience with active/herding dogs as well. My senior dog Willow, was a boarder/lab. She recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was over 13. She was a very active girl. I also have 2 grand dogs. A 4 year old male Great Dane/hound and a 1 1/2 year old male Australian shepherd. I take care of them from time to time when my family needs me too. I also have several clients that I regularly take care of their pets while they’re either at work or away on vacation. I offer several types of services for your pets. I can do drop ins/potty breaks, walks/playtime or overnight stays when you’re away or on vacation. I also provide photos/videos, so that you can see how much fun your fur baby is having while you’re away! I do have experience with multiple dogs/cats households. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and helping to provide caregiving services for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with notice ahead of time. On occasion, I can do non-scheduled pet care times as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions for your pets needs. We can discuss how much time your pet can be left alone, as well as, if they need to be crated while left alone. If I am taking care of your pet while you’re away for overnight stays, I will generally check on your pet every 4 to 5 hours unless noted otherwise.

About: Hello, my name is Abi! I’ve taken care of, rescued, and owned just about every kind of critter imaginable! I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I currently own a Rottweiler, a cat, and an Arizona King Snake! No job is too big or small. I am currently a part time student at Shepherd University and a part time server. I have very open availability for drop ins and walks for your pets! I would be honored to care for you furry friends in your home following all your wants and needs! I have a large, open yard with lots of space for your dog to run around and play in! I am happy to walk your dogs and accommodate them in every way I can!

“Highly recommend Michelle! It's clear that she loves dogs and always does a great job. She's prompt, communicative, and delightful to work with. She's walking my two active puppies on a weekly basis, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Michelle!”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 15. I've had experience with dogs as small as a 5lb mini chihuahua to a giant great pyrenees. I currently live with a rottweiler named Ruby and a cat named PJ (short for pajama). I'd love to meet your animals! I am currently working from home and have a lose schedule so I am super available to take care of any needs you might have. Dogs or other animals that require extra care, like multiple walks a day or lots of attention, are no problem for me! If needed/wanted I am able (and would love to) take extra time to play with your animals so more than their basic needs are met. I recognize that animals need more than just food and water, social and play time are just as important. Plus, I am pretty good at feeding animals as well.
About: Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Aly, and I absolutely love animals. Every animal has its own unique personality, which makes spending time with them so rewarding and fun. Pet care has given me the opportunity to earn extra income, meet wonderful people, and spend time with some truly amazing animals. Along the way, I’ve also learned so many interesting things I never would’ve thought to look up myself in conversations with new people. I have roughly 15 years of professional pet-sitting experience, along with a lifetime of caring for family pets. I’m experienced with: • Dogs (puppies to seniors) • Cats (kittens to seniors) • Chickens & roosters • Pigs (farm pigs & mini pigs) • Fish (bettas, goldfish, koi, and tropical fish) • Horses • Chinchillas • Guinea pigs & hamsters • Rabbits • Turtles • Ferrets • Hedgehogs • Corn snakes • Reptiles, geckos, & lizards I’m always happy to learn and add more furry, feathered, or scaled friends to that list. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! Monday through Friday, I work a 6-8-hour shift, but I schedule pet sitting and house sitting around my work hours & leave to ensure pets still receive plenty of care and attention. My greatest availability for full- time in house is: • Weekends & holidays • Monday–Friday: Midnight- 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM–Midnight. I will always do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs while providing reliable, attentive care. I have a checklist that I review with pet owners to ensure we cover everything as thoroughly as possible. This includes bathroom schedules, allergies, medications, the type of fencing or yard setup they have, whether pets are allowed on furniture, and if they are sensitive to thunder or loud noises (primarily so I can monitor them closely during storms or fireworks). I also ask about grooming needs, any injuries or hotspots to watch for, veterinary contact information, and the nearest emergency vet in your area. While I’ve never had to take a pet I was caring for to an emergency vet, I believe it’s important to have that information readily available in case treatment ever becomes necessary. We’ll also discuss any limitations they may have, as well as whether they’re allowed to go on rides, walks, swimming outings, or even enjoy the occasional pup cup 🩶 I also like to review each pet’s daily routine and preferences with owners to help keep their care as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll ask about feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, sleeping arrangements, favorite activities, and any behaviors or sensitivities I should be aware of. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and stress-free in my care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family.

About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
