“Julie has been an exceptional sitter for my dog, Kingston. My schedule can be unpredictable, and trips often come up at inconvenient times, but Julie has always been flexible and accommodating to make everything work seamlessly. She took the time to come over, carefully review all of Kingston’s care instructions, and followed them perfectly without any issues. I had complete confidence knowing Kingston was in great hands, from his daily walks to administering his medication. Julie provides outstanding communication, professionalism, and genuine care for pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”

About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a part time job M-F from 130-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.
“I cannot recommend Alyssa enough! She took Nymeria out for a 30-minute walk mid-day and was absolutely amazing. Her communication was top-notch, sending updates and adorable photos throughout. She treated Nymeria like her own, showing so much care and attention. I’ll definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and loving dog walker!”

“Thank you Jennifer! I know we had a glitch with the door security and I'm sorry about that but, everything else went well. Thank you for the daily updates and pictures as well. I hope you enjoyed Tyrion as much as he enjoyed seeing you everyday. We will definitely call you in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Alissa! 🐾 I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I have experience with anxious pets and special needs dogs, including blind pups, so I understand how important patience, routine, and a calm environment are. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so you can have peace of mind. Your pets will be in caring, gentle hands with me 💕 I’m a full time dog caregiver who is available anytime and all day every day.I’m free for Boarding and walks short or long distance walks I have a safe environment and I’m very trusting. I’m always very reliable. I’m hoping to change my career into something I always enjoy taking care of cats and dogs.

About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, featuring fish, cats, and a few different breeds of dogs. I love being active so if you need your dog walked I gotchu. If your pet just needs a bit of loving, I got more than enough love to give to your precious babies. In my life I’ve owned fish, a cat, and currently the cutest white German Shepard. I am more than willing to adapt to whatever special needs your pet has, even as far as spoon feeding them. (Hasn’t happened yet but who knows!) I’ve done pet sitting for multiple neighbors and relatives: fish, frogs, cats (both kittens and a senior), and even a few different breeds of dogs (primarily a golden Labrador). I am happy to be at your service and to get to know your precious beans. I am an artist and need some work on the side of that to get by. Since I have such flexibility, I should be able to show up any time as long as I’m not asleep! I cannot accept pets into my own home as I currently own a dog and don’t want mine or your pet(s) to get stressed by strange animals; however, as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am willing to make as many visits as is necessary. I can also take your pet on walks, clean up if there happens to be a mess (ie: hairball), change litter, clean up dog poop, and more! As of now I don’t offer overnight stays.
About: I think all dogs can be good doggies. It doesn’t matter if they pull or bark a lot they can be good dogs with enough treats and training. I work from my phone and computer which allows me to have plenty of time to take care of the animals. Doesn’t matter if it’s a short stop or long stay I can take care of them. When I am at a clients home I only have 2 priorities. My first priority is making sure the dog is well taken care of and behaving appropriately. No messes or jumping on the couch. My second priority is making sure the house looks the same way or better from when I first arrived. If something spilt or got knocked over I make sure to clean up and or put it back. I like to play with the dogs to make them tired and to know what they are doing and make sure they aren’t getting into anything they shouldn’t.

“Ma’Lisa was very easy to work with, as I have a four month old puppy. She responded quickly and was very good with my dog. Definitely recommend. Intend to hire again in the future.”

About: I am looking for some summer and part-time work and figured what is better than working with the animals that I love so much?! I have lived with family dogs (medium-large sized) all of my life so I know the kind of nurturing and attention they need. I love every gender, size, and breed. I did mainly house sitting and over-night stays on Rover originally, until I rescued a fur-child of my own two years ago. Charlie has really taught me a lot about what it takes to be a good dog mom! I am active and able to keep up with high energy dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of both young and elderly dogs. I also have experience with high anxiety dogs. I will treat your furry friend like part of my own family while caring for him/her! I am a full-time elementary teacher, so I am available to go to other homes for visits and walks full time during the months of June and July, anytime on weekends during all months, and after school/evenings (after 3pm) during the school year. I also have off on all holidays and school breaks. I am active and could keep your pet active too! I love taking dogs for walks or even just running around the backyard. If your pet prefers something more relaxing, I would even love to just sit on the couch with them and keep them company for a little while.
About: I bring years of hands-on experience and a genuinely loving approach to every dog I care for. I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years and have spent 7+ years working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure each dog gets personalized attention—whether that’s extra playtime, calming cuddles, or a long, happy walk. I’m also comfortable with: • Puppy care & basic training routines • Senior dog support (slow walks, gentle handling, meds if needed) • Building trust with shy or anxious pups • Keeping owners updated with lots of photos and check-ins Your dog isn’t just a booking to me—they’re family while they’re with me. I always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved I’m a college student, so I plan my schedule in a way that lets me give pets the attention they need. Weekends are perfect for overnight stays, since I have more free time and can stay with your pet without rushing. During the week, I have plenty of flexibility between classes, so dog walks and drop-in visits are easy to fit in throughout the day. No matter the day, I make sure each dog gets focused care, fun, and consistent attention. I provide all pet care in your home, where your dog feels most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to your normal routine—feeding times, walk schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific house rules you follow. My goal is to keep everything as familiar as possible so your pet stays relaxed and happy while you’re away. During visits, I make sure your dog gets: • Fresh food and water • Safe, enjoyable walks • Playtime and attention • Potty breaks and clean-up • Any special care instructions you provide I’m respectful of your space and always leave your home tidy. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel connected and confident your pet is doing great!
“I couldn’t be happier with the dog walking service! He was fantastic with my husky and schnauzer, always on time and full of energy. He sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and am very passionate about pet care. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and reactive or behaviorally challenging dogs, and I understand the patience and consistency they need. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, so I’m familiar with routines and quickly building trust with new pets. I’ve owned breeds like Boxers and Pit Bulls, as well as cats, and currently care for two ferrets and a hamster. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me. I’m available everyday from 7 am- 10 pm, i’m also very flexible and understanding so for whatever reason if you needed me before or after those times i can work something out!! I have two dogs myself but at separate houses one does have behavioral issues so that’s something i know how to work with and the other goes in a crate which i’m more than okay to do with others. My dogs like to pull and bark so that’s something i’m used too if that were to occur with your fur baby
About: I’ve bred, raised and cared for all types of animals my entire life. From fish and hamsters, to cats and dogs! There is no animal that I wouldn’t be happy to help with. I am comfortable with all sizes and ages. Special diets or exercise programs are no problem. I recently retired from the Army so I am available almost always. There are a few hourly exceptions when I have to drop off or pick up my children. I am available most holidays too! I would be happy to pet sit in your home in a manner that meets your pets needs and your expectations. Specific requirements such as walk length, play time, feeding schedule etc can all be coordinated individually.
“Corinne is so great with my lab, JD! She is always on time and sends cute photos of him from their walk together! She takes good care of him and is great at following instructions also. She even messages me when she is on her way over to the house. Thanks Corinne!”

Alyssa was so great with my Mom’s mini golden doodle. She helped our family tremendously with morning and evening walks while my Mom recovered from a hospital stay. Our nervous pup quickly became comfortable with Alyssa and even improved her on leash behaviors throughout the week which is a lasting benefit to all of us. We highly recommend her.
