About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“I owe Darnell x100000. Everything I could ask for in a walker. I was nervous because my dog can be a puller and especially crazy with new people . Darnell took great care and things went better than I could imagine. Will definitely hope that he’ll be available in the future . Ice loved him! Thanks again bro !”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! I raised two dogs from puppies to adulthood and trained them myself. At the time I lived on a farm and insured to keep all of my animals (3 dogs included) safe and well behaved. I am absolutely in love with animals (as many should be) and miss having that part of my life. I am a student and work part-time. Due to this, I have to be organized and prepared. As I have worked/lived off the land, I also am not afraid of getting my hands and knees dirty. I look forward to meeting you all and your beautiful fur babies! I am currently working part time and take classes purely online. This gives me a mostly free schedule and the availability to take care of your animals! I believe a dog's comfort is top priority. I always aim to respect a dog's boundaries by reading their body language and presenting myself as not threatening.

About: I believe that all fur babies deserve to be spoiled just as I spoil my own! I love to give treats and usually have dog treats with me anywhere I go. I do have a full time job but I have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I begin my visits as early as 630 am and can do visits until 10pm in the evening. I work from home so I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have open availability on the weekends. I know the stress being away from my furbaby in the past I couldn't relax because I worried about her safety the whole time I was gone. Which is why I keep you in the loop about your pet when they are in my care, you won't have to hunt me down to make sure they are having fun. We make sure that we practice safe departures so that your dog is safe and

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 and have always had a love for animals, I’ve dealt with all kinds of personalities so I’m very open as well. I am currently working on building a clientele as a personal trainer so I have a lot of free time to walk and dog sit. I have a fenced yard and extra dog crates if needed. I do have a lot of animals in my house but enough space to keep them separated if needed.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm comfortable with administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and giving extra gentle care to shy and anxious pets. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'm tidy, respectful, and will make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. You can count on me for prompt communication, regular updates, and lots of pictures! Let's set up a meet-and-greet! I'm currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I go back to school mid-August and will continue taking on gigs on the weekends then. I'm very tidy and respectful and you can trust me to take care of your pet in your home in a safe and gentle way.

About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to quality pet care. When I was younger, I even helped train my childhood dog, which taught me responsibility, positive reinforcement, and how to understand animal behavior from an early age. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As a teacher, I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I truly enjoy spending time outdoors going on walks and staying active with pets. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and maintaining pets’ routines. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. I love being able to use my summer break doing something rewarding while giving pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities as a pet sitter and walker. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs and routines. I always prioritize safe walks, secure environments, and clear communication with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive, which helps me build trust quickly with both pets and their owners. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I love all cats and dogs, and even unique pets! I have lived my whole life caring for animals and even some with special needs including overweight, diabetic, and some injuries I will be working remotely from home, so I have all the time day or night to stay close by to care for your pets. I am always respectful of your home and want your pet to feel as much at home with a new person present as possible. I keep very clean and leave exactly how I found your place. Prior to sitting, I usually would like an idea of what type of home you have (house, apartment, etc), how much space there is for your pets to play, and what areas are off limits for them to play or hang out. If your pets go in and outside, I’d love to run around outside and play with them or keep a close eye. I’d also be happy to go on walks with your pets around your neighborhood or wherever you prefer for some extra exercise.

About: Any day any time I’m here to help you with your pets needs. Several local referrals and references to provide you and your loved ones. I provide pet services everyday. All hours of the day including overnights. No need to worry just contact me. I have and breed dogs as well. Animals are always my first priority. They are treated as my own. My children play an active roll in helping with care of our furry friends.

“Jill is great with my pup! I always come home to a tired and happy dog. Jill also communicates excellent. Thank you!”
