“Brijana is one of a kind! I've used her multiple times now and she takes amazing care of my pup Griffey. She is super flexible and works with me on my crazy schedule. She takes lots of photos and when I come home late at night from work my pup is walked fed and in a great mood! Can't say enough about the great job she does. Thanks Brijana! ”
About: I have taken care of large breeds and small growing up. I am now caring for our 17 week old black lab puppy who I am obsessed with. I love dogs and being able to help them get their exercise. I am currently not working. I have free time— minus time spent with my pup. I won’t be able to do weekends but should be able to do week days no problem. Safety is my main priority with dogs. I want them to enjoy the experience! I want to help enrich their lives and enjoy! We are lucky to have them❤️🧡 I have a fenced in backyard- grassed. My pup is fully vaccinated and extremely social. My house is dog friendly.. and so is my husband!
“We had a great experience with Robbie caring for Chloe and Maisie. He was kind, reliable, communicative, and very attentive to both girls. His updates throughout the week were always thoughtful and reassuring, and we loved the photos he sent! Our puppy is very nervous with new people and even more nervous outside on a leash. Robbie didn’t seem worried when we told him this, and we now know why. We were genuinely impressed by how comfortable Maisie became with him. He was calm, patient, and encouraging, and we saw noticeable progress in her confidence and willingness to walk in the neighborhood over the course of the week. It really says a lot about him that she trusted him so quickly. Robbie was also respectful of our home and handled an unexpected mess with professionalism and kindness. He clearly cares about the dogs he works with, and it shows. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our girls, and seeing how excited and comfortable both dogs are with him says everything. We can’t wait to have him back to visit them again!”
“This was our first time using Karen and she did a wonderful job. My anxious pup settled in nicely and was very happy in all of the pictures Karen sent. Loved the updates too. Will definitely use Karen again.”
About: Pets are a part of the family! I have raised 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and I love them very much! I love to take my own dogs for walks and being able to walk other dogs is just as special! It’s wonderful meeting new pets because they all have such unique personalities! I have experience raising both puppies and kittens. At college, I help raise service dogs. So far, I’ve helped raise and train 3 service dogs. I have a lot of experience with dog walking and pet sitting for friends and neighbors in my town. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) During December and January I’ll have availability when I’m home from college! Feel free to reach out even if a day says I’m unavailable because my schedule will be pretty flexible! I’m comfortable around dogs and cats of all ages. I have experience with taking care of the daily needs of pets and love to spend time with them! I know how to clean up after pets, including cleaning litter boxes. My daily routine includes feeding my own pets, walking my dogs, and playing and spending time with them. Spending time with other pets is a wonderful addition :)
“I broke my foot this summer and was unable to walk my Cinnamon. Kathy has walked her 3x week for 12wks now, and I couldn't be happier with her. She is prompt and reliable, she has not missed a walk in the 12 wks. She responds to texts right away. And on top of that, Kathy is very personable and easy to talk to. But most importantly, my Cinnamon loves her and is so excited for her walks. So thank you, Kathy!”
“Max has been great with our pup! He is a good communicator and takes our pups on long walks! He truly cares and is great to work with. We love the pictures he sends during each walk.”
“Julia has walked our excited beagle Bella for the last week as we’ve adjusted to being new parents and she’s been perfect- shows up on time every day, takes Bella for a 60 minute walk in the freezing cold, and provides thorough reports afterwards! Super professional and prompt, we couldn’t be happier and look forward to continuing to use her services!”
About: I've cared for animals from dogs and cats to lizards and rabbits since I was 8. I've given cats their shots, I've walked dogs, I've cleaned all manner of animals' rooms or habitats. Eager to care for and meet all kinds of new animal friends Currently looking for part time animal care. I do like to take at least 2 days for myself every week, but I like to keep my schedule fairly open and flexible our home is a one bedroom apartment with ac/heating and plenty of open space for ourselves and any animal or animals that might need somewhere to stay
“I love that I can trust Carly to arrive on time and make sure that my pup gets plenty of love and attention! She really makes my long shifts easier knowing Millie is being spoiled! Would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Chris was great & attentive. He showed care for my furry friend’s limitations after surgery, and took adorable photos throughout the walk! My dog returned home noticeably happy.”
About: I cared for my own first fur baby for 18 wonderful years, who sadly passed away last summer. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly believe every pet deserves the best care, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I work a hybrid schedule and am home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, making it easy to give pets frequent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I can be flexible and dedicate my time to your pet’s needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and rest, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and attentive care while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, and administering medications if needed. I focus on providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your dog while you're away. I’m currently working part-time and a full-time college student, I can be available in the afternoon or even nights, please let me know the time I have a fenced yard, I do have 2 small dogs and a cat, if I’m bringing home a pet I would prefer smaller pets.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different dog sizes and ages during my time in this pet care experience. Owning a larger dog myself makes me be able to connect to those larger dogs that people are usually afraid to take a chance with. I’m working part - time right now so I have plenty of time to care of your lovely pets whenever It is needed. My schedule is open to any day. In my home since I have a large dog myself I have a fence going around my entire backyard that is safe and will not injure or harm the dog in anyway.
“My dog is a rescue who is still overcoming his fear-based aggression. Anthony was calm and patient when he met him. He also took extra time to comfort him while I was away because he knew he had separation anxiety. Anthony also communicated with me daily to discuss any concerns. When I was searching for a dog sitter, I read Anthony’s Rover profile in which he writes about his life-long love for animals. This is why I hired him and he has proven that he truly cares. I will be hiring him again for sure and feel confident in recommending him to other dog owners, especially those with dogs who need extra TLC.”

Lindsey has been amazing with my 2-year-old pup, Max, who just started walking with her. She goes above and beyond—sending about 10 photos and videos each visit that truly show how much time, care, and activity she gives. She even thoughtfully brought her dog, Paco, to help socialize Max, which made such a positive difference. I’ve had other walkers before, but Lindsey stands out for her attention to detail, genuine care, and the way she treats Max like her own. I highly recommend her to any dog parent.
We've used Bri multiple times and couldn’t be happier. Our pup, Nakita, looks forward to her visits. You can instantly tell she has a genuine love for animals; she treats Nakita like her own. She's incredibly reliable, always on time, and sends the best photo updates— Nakita mid-leap with pure joy, which makes my day. She's super flexible with our crazy schedule! Highly recommend her for anyone!

Laura has been a wonderful help walking Auggie at lunch! She’s super communicative and reliable, which has provided peace of mind while we’re at work! Auggie is a rambunctious teenager and Laura makes sure he is taken care of when we’re away!! Highly recommend!
Abigail did a great job with my dog Ranger. He tends to be nervous at first with new people, but Abigail took things slowly and Ranger warmed right up to her. She always provided an update after their walk. Would definitely trust her to take care of Ranger again.
We feel so lucky we found Julia! She has taken such incredible care of our quirky hound/boxer mix for overnight stays and midday walks. Our pup can be a lot to handle sometimes and she made sure to ask all the right questions to understand how to best meet our dogs needs. We can’t recommend Julia enough, she will care for your pet like it’s her own!
Krista and Zach have been great with our pup. We have been using their dog walking service daily for over 8 months now. They are reliable and their communication is excellent. My schedule can change quickly at times and sometimes my kids might be home sick, etc, but they are always flexible with that, which is something we really appreciate. I would recommend them to anyone in need of regular dog walking.
