About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.

“Makenna is wonderful and my dogs LOVE her! She’s very flexible and communicative. Always asks permission to pick up extra walks which always makes the pups happy! Highly recommend!”



About: Hello, My name is Camila and I'm here to take care of any of your furry friends. I absolutely love animals; I'm a dog person but also love cats. I grew up with a dog and ever since have loved animals. I also lived with a cat for two years. I assure you your pet couldn't be in better hands. I am kind and loving towards all animals. I've animal sat for several people in the past and would love to do the same for you! I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fishes, and various other animals. I am open to sitting, boarding, walking, and much more. As I said before, I love all animals and can't wait to talk to you regarding your pet.

About: I’ve had multiple years of experience with senior dogs, pets needing help with medication, or energetic pets requiring lots of play. I have two cats myself. I’m a musician with a flexible schedule so I can make time whenever they need me. Happy to do over nights or pop in visits. Ive found it best to try to keep animals routines and schedules as regular as possible from what they’re used to to minimize their stress.

About: I have always been the first to offer to cat or dog sit for my friends. My own cat needs daily oral medication, so I understand the importance of timely medication. I can't wait to meet you and your pets. I am currently attending online school, so I will have a lot of availability to care for your pets! I'm new to the area, and excited to get myself out there. I'm attentive to animal body language, and know some animal first-aid. In case of an emergency, I'm also capable of lifting up to about 80 pounds.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have often been called on to pet sit for friends and family. When I was younger, I wanted to be a veterinarian. At 17 I did an internship at my local animals hospital. As a result, I’m confident working with most animals and know what to look out for in terms of health issues and can give medications. Although I eventually left the pre-vet track, my love for animals has never wavered. I’m a self-employed writer and artist so I get to set my own schedule! I’m generally available between 8:30am to 8pm. I love doing longer housesits! I’m confident with cats and dogs and I have a list of questions I like to ask to make sure I do things just as you like. If I have any questions while caring for your pet I’ll make sure to reach out.

“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”

About: Back again and ready to care for your pups like family! 🐾 I’ve had my own dog for 9 years—he’s off-leash trained, never needed a crate, and truly part of our home. I’m a lifelong dog lover, and now my 3-year-old daughter is following in my footsteps—she’s gentle, kind, and absolutely obsessed with dogs! At 29, I run my own business and keep a calm, organized home, perfect for pups who need love, attention, and a safe space to relax or play. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, your dog will be treated like one of our own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Dog care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work from home and run my own business, which means I have the flexibility to create my schedule around your pup’s needs—especially during the day. I’m a single mom, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, my daughter is with her dad, giving me extra time and quiet space to dedicate to dog care. While I’m usually busier on evenings and weekends, I’m super organized and manage my time well—so there’s always room for a four-legged guest! Whether it’s midweek cuddles, walks, or daytime hangs, I’ve got the time, love, and energy to give your dog a cozy home away from home. Safety and comfort are top priorities in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs a secure space to play and explore freely. For pups who need a little extra caution, I also have an extended leash option—so they can still enjoy the outdoors without worry. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. Whether they’re energetic or more reserved, I know how to tune in to their needs and make them feel safe, seen, and cared for. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space where your pup will feel right at home. 🐾

I’ve sat for large dogs while living here and their needs have been accommodated!

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.

Erik M.Star Sitter
“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”

Kira L.Star Sitter
“Kira has watched my dog, Clementine, many times, and she always does a great job! She takes good care of her and spends tons of time playing with her and tiring her out too. Clementine can be quite anxious and sometimes reactive with strangers, so I am very particular with dog sitters, but she felt so comfortable with Kira right away!”
Virginia Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mary is great with my pitty!! She always did what I needed done and found the time to squeeze him in even in busy days! She does have a bad ankle so due to that we had to switch over so if u have a bigger stronger dog who pulls or is reactive, may be best to find someone else. But otherwise she did the job and walked him even with that ankle :)! She helped us find other options as well and always had tips to help when issues were brought up. She seems to really care about the animals and what they need.
