About: Animals have always had an extremely special place in my heart. Ever since I was a kid I’ve helped care for my family’s own pets: feeding them, caring for their health, giving baths, taking them outside and on walks, and pretty much anything else having a pet entails. I also am in the process of beginning volunteering with the cats and dogs at Lawrence Humane Society! I am a full-time student, but I am available whenever I am not busy with classes. I also have a few volunteering shifts throughout each week that I need to work around, and a job (that I will be done with next month). I provide them with food and water, clean up their litter, play with them, take the dogs on walks, and show all the animals lots of love! I am also flexible and open to doing whatever I am able to.

About: I am a canine enrichment coordinator at a boarding facility and I teach basic and intermediate manners training classes. I have a degree in behavior science and I'm hoping to complete my KPA training certification in the near future. Ask about enrichment and basic training add-ons! I work as a full-time enrichment coordinator and dog trainer. As such, I have restricted availability. In general I am free Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays. I am available for dog walking, check-in visits, and house sitting. I can also offer enrichment and basic training services as add-ons. Let's talk about some enrichment strategies to help your dog live a happy and full life!

About: I have puppy sat for family/friends for 2 and 1/2 years, I also have experience with all types of dogs since I have worked at Dogtopia. My schedule is very flexible as I’m an online college student. I’m available day and night Monday through Friday. I will do my best to make accommodations for everyone’s schedule. I have 2 dogs at home with a fenced in back yard. I’m also available to go to someone’s house to watch there dog also.


About: I love dogs. I have always rented and never had an opportunity to own my own pets. Rover will give me a chance to get my pet fix in. Here in a few months I will be able to work from home 2 days a week. In the meantime, I am available mornings, during my hour lunch break, and after work during the week. I have flexible availability on the weekends. I treat clients homes how I would want my own home to be treated. I will always leave a home better than I found it. I pay close attention to detail and will go above and beyond for your pet.

“Emily is the finest dog sitter we’ve ever had and that is over the last 50 years. She is prompt, efficient, creative, has excellent communications, and most of all loves and cares for each dog individually!!!”

About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her!

My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was younger than 10 years old. My mother and I would volunteer our time at animal sactuaries to walk, play, bathe, feed, and even foster animals in our home. We rescued many pets off the street to support them and rehome them, as well as took part in training search and rescue dogs. I have always had a deep love for animals and supporting them just comes naturally. My experience fostering. re-homing, and supporting animals has allowed me the wisdom to be a wonderful support and playmate to your furry friend. I am currently on sabbatical from higher education and am spending this time working on creative projects and have open time to give intentional love and attention to your special pet! Every living thing is worthy of attention, love, and security. With my years of experience in animal care, I approach each animal with the upmost respect to provide a safe and loving environment (whether in my own home or that of a client's).

About: With 15 years of experience in emergency and specialty veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant and manager, I bring a deep level of knowledge, reliability, and compassion to every dog I care for. Whether your pup thrives on outdoor adventures or needs a calm, nurturing environment, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, active hiker and long distance runner, and passionate about enrichment and experiences - your energetic dog will have a blast exploring trails with me. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart; I recently adopted a 13-year-old diabetic dachshund and know firsthand how much love and attention they deserve. From trail walks to couch cuddles, your dog will be in expert, loving hands. Let me be their new favorite companion! I’m currently working part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I already spend most of my day with my own dogs—they love to ‘assist’ with whatever I’m doing around the house! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs—they’re my world—so I understand how important it is to meet each pet’s unique needs and routines. Your dog will receive the same level of care and attention I give my own. I’m very flexible with my schedule and always aim to stick closely to your dog’s normal routine—whether that means walks, feeding times, play, or downtime. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or mine, you can count on me to treat them like family and give you peace of mind.
