“Kyle was an awesome dog walker! He met with us before we took off for 8 days and did an introductory walk with our dog Copper to go over everything we needed done. He’s kind, punctual, and great with dogs! We will use him in the future and would encourage anyone that needs his services to reach out to him!”
“Corrine is great! Seems to really care about the animals, and was focused on making the experience easy, safe and convenient for the whole family. We will be looking to use her again!”
“Kira has been so fantastic with Doug, The Cooper, and Moshi. We could not be more pleased. She uses the Rover app to let us know when she arrives, how long Doug is on his walk, his “action” and the photos are priceless. We will continue to use her as long as possible. A+”
“We were hesitant to use Rover and leave our dog in a stranger’s hands, but Angela allayed our fears with her calm demeanor, amazing communication and caring personality. She is extremely responsive and reliable and when we come home, we know that our dog has been well taken care of. We are highly satisfied with dog care that Angela has been giving us and would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker.”
About: I have had many dogs growing up with my last dog being a dachshund. He had many medical needs towards the end of his life including daily medication and physical therapy treatment. I am now currently a college student who wants to take care of dogs as I cannot have one at this point in time because of my schooling. I am home all day and take online classes. I am very flexible when it comes to watching dogs and am usually always available even when n weekends. My home has a backyard as well as room for play in the house. I love to walk/run so I would love to be able to take your pet out to the dog park and get it’s energy out.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors since I was a 16 years old. I have experience with older dogs and aggressive dogs. I like to stick to the routines the dog is used to keep your dog, happy and healthy. I grew up with dogs and owned and trained two Australian Cattle dogs. I strive to meet the unique needs of each pet. I am getting back into the workforce after a leave of absence to help with family health problems. I currently have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to work mornings, afternoons and evenings, depending on your needs. I will take your dog on walks, play with them and feed them and make sure they get lots of love. I do not take dogs into my home, as my dog likes being the only dog, but will happily pet sit or walk your dog or dogs.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I understand that every furry friend deserves personalized care and attention. I’ve looked after a variety of pets, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and engaged while their owners are away. I am committed to providing a nurturing environment that meets each pet's unique needs, whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles on the couch. Additionally, I’m experienced in administering medications, so you can rest easy knowing that your pet will receive any necessary treatments with care and precision. Let me be your pet’s new best friend while you're away! I am currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for early-morning, afternoon and evening drops in visits and during weekends total availability. Meet and greets with pet owners. Providing regular updates and photos during visit. Adhering to pet medication instructions carefully. Maintaining a secure home environment for pets. Prioritizing the pets well-being. Clear communication with the owner to address any concerns that might rise.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters and dog walkers is my dog training and professional pet care background. I spent 2 years caring for service dogs in training, and I've spent over 3 years working in kennel environments with all different breeds, sizes, and temperaments of dogs, learning different types of handling and training styles. I have also been apprenticing a dog trainer for the past 2 and a half years, and have developed a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior. I want to go above and beyond and give your pets the best care. There are many skills I've learned at my previous jobs, including; dog first aid and CPR, the basics of fear free handling and cooperative care, how to administer different medications safely, how to quickly spot and begin treating possible health issues, and how to work dogs through some of the most common behavioral issues. In addition to the normal care your dogs receive, I can do short training sessions with your dog which is a great way to tire their brains out! I can work on basic obedience, leash manners, confidence building, etc. Message me for more information! ** I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians. If you need care for any exotic pets please message me for more info! Drop-ins: 30 minutes spent with your dogs, including: Normal care including pottying, feeding and medicating as necessary, physical and mental stimulation, light grooming, and snuggles. For longer bookings - $25/hr (2 hours minimum) Walks: 20-30 minutes walking around your neighborhood or a nearby location Letting your dog sniff around and stretch their legs! I prefer to walk one dog at a time vs multiple dogs at once Overnight sitting: Pricing on this starts at $125 a night. This includes staying with your dog overnight, and leaving them for no longer than 4 hours at a time in the day. Normal care including feeding, medicating, physical and mental stimulation, light grooming, and snuggle time. I will follow your dog's routine as closely as I can. I will also provide a lot of updates and send a lot of pictures!! In general, things that might make the price a little higher would be puppies who need more frequent potty breaks, doing multiple training sessions with them, taking them out on field trips, taking them to appointments, dogs with special medical or grooming requirements, etc. Please message me for more information!! -- I especially love working with puppies and setting up a strong foundation for them, or working with the "problem children" with some more difficult behavior... they remind me of my dog! I also love meeting more scared and shy dogs (especially chihuahuas)!! Wherever I work, I am usually the person who gets scared dogs to come out of their shell! Message me to set up a free meet n greet! I can't wait to meet you and your pet. :) Dog sitting and walking is currently my main source of income. This means any appointment can easily fit into my schedule, as long as I have some time to spend with my own dogs! All of my services are offered in the client's home. I treat every client's dog like they are my own. I mainly use positive reinforcement and I also have knowledge on fear free handling.
About: I have been taking care of dogs all my life. I grew up with two and currently have a Husky and Terrier. On the days I am in the office (Typically M-W) I will only be available for drop ins/walks after 2pm. I can do early mornings or after 2pm. When I am WFH, I am available all day. Friends and family over the years have relied on me to watch over their fur babies, stop in and check on them for a simple belly scratch and potty break, all the way to staying the night to give them piece of mind while they're gone. I currently work full time. M-W I am able to stop into clients homes after I get off work, after 3. Thursday and Friday I work from home so besides meetings, I am able to drop in at any time of the day. Saturdays and Sundays I am pretty flexible as well :) Each client is different but I will learn what is best for their pet when I meet them. I won't crate their pet unless asked. Going outside with pets when they're out doing their business, and keeping them on a leash to keep them safe is my standard for caring for anyones pet. The parents know best and I'd follow their rules.
About: I have cared for family and friends pets for 18 years. From puppies and their training needs to 13 year old dogs who just want to snuggle. While not a professional trainer, I have trained many dogs on how to walk nicely on a lead and various tricks to add some fun your pet's life. My own dog is off lead trained and will stay close on walks. I work on a positive reward system of high value treats and praise, providing minor corrections to pets such as a sound or turning away to ignore unwanted behavior forcing them to thinking for my attention. I work for the school district during the year so until school is out I'm available only on Fridays after 5:30pm, all of Saturday and Sundays until 4:30pm. This, of course, will change once school is out for the summer. As a house sitter, I will stay in your home with your pets for the amount of time you'll be gone so they will always have company. Care instructions will be followed to the letter. I have my own boy and I do what I would want others to do for him. As a walker, I will go as far as your particular pet can go. If that's around the block, great! If it's further, even better! As I said I have my own dog so if you'd like your pet to have a walking buddy let me know and we can set up a meet and greet before any official walks! If you're in need of a drop in visit just for potty and playtime, that's fantastic! I'm more than happy to play with your furbaby!
About: For family & friends I've been there for dog walks, picking up poo, timely feedings, playtime with all, cleaning liter boxes, talking to the cat(s) , sleepovers and lots of cuddle time. I'm retired so my schedule is fairly flexible except for when my husband and I travel. No other jobs. Early a.m. to late p.m. visits are all possible. Last family member for my home was two cats. We've made certain that our backyard is safe & secure for dogs too, for other family members. I also walk and/or ride bicycles every day that weather permits.
About: I raised my dog from puppy - senior (15yo). Including medications in the later years. I’ll love your dog like you do while you’re away! Currently working part-time and in pursuit of my certification in Medical Laboratory Science after completion of my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics at MSU Pets will be looked after like I’d look after a child. All instructions left will be adhered to the highest degree to best suit you and your pets needs
About: My family always had a dog, and when I moved out on my own, the first thing I did was get my own! I now have a chihuahua/papillon rescue named Jorah Borkmont, who loves to play with others. I make my own hours out of the home, so I will only be out of my home for a few hours per day, and I can return when necessary (we have a dog camera set up). My husband works at home most days, so he will also be here to care for your dog. We live in a townhouse with an unfenced yard, but do have tie-outs and plush grass to relax and potty on. There are safe sidewalks and a new neighborhood in the building process for long walks twice per day.

We have known her for the past two years and would recommend her for any type of pet care. She is communicative and ensures that we have regular updates while we are gone and asks any questions that she needs answered. One of our dogs has health issues and she has been great at keeping up with his medications while we are gone. She is able to walk them together and we have never had any issues with her and her care. Highly recommend her for any pet care, she has primarily stayed at our house to keep our dogs in the comfort of their home.”
