About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.
“I was worried about leaving my pups with anyone!! But then Chris stops by for my meet and greet and assured my that all would be great. After watching him with my dogs I was happy to finally take a vacation that was well needed.. I arrived home to find my home just a cared for as I left it, happy pups and all. I definitely recommend chris for anyone looking for a attentive and loving Dog sitter/house sitter... THANKS AGAIN CHRIS!”
About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
About: With 3+ years of professional experience working with animals, as well as 26 years of being surrounded by hundreds of pets of my own, my goal is to create the best, most memorable time for your animal friends. I treat every animal as if it's one of my own. From dogs to cats, rodents to reptiles, ducks to goats, and from newborn to senior, sick or in good health, I have cared for and nurtured just about any domesticated animal throughout all stages of life and am here to make sure that, no matter what, each and every animal is as happy as can be, because they deserve it. Four years ago, I lost my dog, Sugar, who I had since I was nine years old. We grew up together, and she meant everything to me. I've been trying to figure out how to fill that void ever since she left, but it's been tough man. Then I came across Rover. Now, I get to spend time with everyone else's dogs, and I see Sugar in every single one of them, which makes me want to give them the time of their lives. I appreciate everyone letting me watch after their pets. Most people do this for money; I do it, genuinely, because I love animals. Not just dogs, not just cats, but everything else in between. I've worked on farms and at pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats and rabbits, and even bred rodents for years - not to sell, but rather, just to care for and love. So this definitely is not limited to just canine and feline friends. I will care for any kind of animal. I have experience with them all. I work as a supervisor on 3rd shift right across the street from my house at a pet food manufacturing plant, making it super easy to take great care of your pet even throughout the night. I am home all day from 8am until 10pm, so there is really not much time ever where I won't be able to give your pet the care that it needs! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run outside freely and plenty of room inside as well for a dog or cat or any other animal to roam about and go wherever their little heart desires. I have a young indoor cat who is very friendly and playful, a senior cat who stays in hiding, as well as two pet ducks that roam the yard who love friends. They have an enclosure of their own to lock them in if you are unsure of how your pet may react to ducks.
About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.
“Amanda was great! We ended up needing to modify our plans somewhat with respect to timing of her visits , and needed a regular "heads-up" on her visits. She kept us consistently informed as to when she would be arriving at the house. Would definitely try to use her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.
“Randi was awesome while caring for our two cats while we were away. She sent updates with pictures each day so we would know our cats were doing well. She was engaging to the cats and did all we could have asked for. She was great with communication leading up to the trip, coming over to go over the details of the care she would provide. It made our trip so great knowing we had someone of her quality watching out for our furry family members at home while we were away.”
About: I have trained and raised all 6 of my dogs. I am very knowledgeable about many different kinds of animals and the care they need. I also know that pet care isn’t always cheap. My prices are not hard set, please feel free to discuss with me if you might have trouble affording care. I am available most days before 8:30am and after 2:00. Some weekends i will be out of town for dog shows with my own pets. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule:) I have many dogs of my own who I would protect with my life, and it's the same with your baby! Their care and wellbeing is extremely important to me, and they will be my number one priority while in my care.
About: Hello, I’m Abigail. I have had all types of animals my whole life and have had experience working at pet stores and doggie day cares. I strive to keep all animals happy, healthy, and safe at all times! I am home full time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My home is welcome to all breeds, and if your pup has special needs that is no issue! I have a child, a three legged pup, and a scaredy cat that are all very well socialized with other animals! If need be I can watch almost any other kind of animal you may have. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me! I hope to meet your pups soon! Thank you.
About: I grew up around cats and dogs. I’ve been helping family and friends care for their pets for many years.

I’m currently working part time on the weekends, but on weekdays I have all the time in the world for your pets! I am available for walks and drop-in visits anytime after 11am Monday-Wednesday. I will provide exceptional care and company for your pets! I am always happy to walk and play with your pets as much as they need. They will never be lonely or bored when I am around.

Yuting D.
“I was out of town for a week and needed someone reliable to walk my Akita (Thunder). Yuting was an amazing dog walker! I love Thunder but to be honest he is a badass who loves to jump when he sees people or other dogs he doesn't like. Yuting handled him with great care and professionalism. She took extra precautions to ensure Thunder's (and others) safety and comfort. She is clearly experienced with handling large, energetic dogs. The other dog walker we worked with before didn't walk Thunder enough so during that time he was always irritable at home. Yuting also sent me regular updates like photos and messages. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Thunder was in good hands. I would recommend Yuting for anyone needing a trustworthy and skilled dog walker!”
