About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))”

About: I’ve cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I have comforted, cleaned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I loved taking my family dogs to the dog park or trail. I currently work part time so I can take your dog to their favorite place. Also care for your dog if they need company during a rainy or noisy day (fireworks). IYKYK I start by scanning the premises to take preventative measures for any hazards. I will also make sure the dog is within my sight at all times.

“Katrina was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were on holiday. One cat is very skittish but she opened up and played by day 2. Katrina was prompt for all check ins and great with communication (even when we were slow). We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child, my own pets most of the time. I’ve had multiple dogs at a time but also now share my home with my four legged friend Nicholas.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, food if requested, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“I have been meaning to leave Molly a review for a long time! I’ll summarize why she’s an incredible cat sitter below. 1) You can tell she really cares about our cats. 2) She always sends fun updates. 3) She put a lot of effort into winning over our super shy cat who has NEVER come out for a cat sitter. Now he rolls over for belly rubs when she comes over! (How do I know? See point 2) This last time really takes the cake though and is what compelled me to write a review. I made an error on the booking and missed a whole day in the middle of our vacation. Molly reached out ahead of time and asked about the missing date, which I appreciated SO MUCH because I would have been worried sick about the boys being left alone or without food for a full day. I’m so glad she reached out and the peace of mind I get for knowing my cats are in good hands is worth everything. If she’s looking for the extra business, you should absolutely book her for your pet sitting services.”

About: I had a dog when I was a kid, and I honestly miss the joy that he brought me! I've always loved dogs simply for the warmth that they bring, but getting to care for them, play with them, and take them on beautiful walks would be the cherry on top. I'm committed to making sure all furry friends in my care are happy, safe, and well taken care of as if they were my own. I hope to be considered as the pawfect choice! I’m currently working as a part-time freelancer in my industry, so I am able to make pet care a big part of my daily and weekly routines. I am available Sunday through Saturday at whatever times work best for you since I have a flexible schedule! When I have the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet, I am very attentive and careful. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure every Furry Friend gets suited to their personality and energy level. I will follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated to make sure I am creating a positive experience.

About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.

Naomi really helped me out when I had a last minute booking to watch my cat for the weekend!! She replied quickly, made sure to get all the information she needed to learn his routine and care for him best, and he had a blast! She sent lots of photos and text updates while she was with him. I felt much less stressed knowing he was happy in her care while I was away!!

Irisdelie was so good with me and my cat! Would definitely book with her again and I feel more comfortable with the idea of traveling knowing she is an option. She was so professional, communicative, accommodating, respectful, kind, and she made me laugh with her visit summaries. She did everything I asked for and put in effort to make my cat comfortable. My cat eventually felt very comfortable and affectionate with her, which is great because she is afraid of strangers. Irisdelie also met up with me beforehand and spent over an hour getting to know what I needed and during my trip she took lots of great pics! Thank you so much Irisdelie, it was a pleasure! :)

Cristina took wonderful care of my 4-month-old kitten for a week while my family and I were out of town. She communicated well, responded promptly, and sent us pictures every day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!

Cristian and Anderson have been great! We recently moved nearby, and our dog can be reactive with anyone she doesn't know (a rescue dog), and she takes some meet and greets to get comfortable with new folks. Both Cristian and Anderson made time to meet with us, and after another greeting, our dog became very excited and happy to see them! Since then, they have helped us with taking Nyla out for walks when we are at work. They are prompt, send pictures of their walk, and provide a report card of how the walk went. They have been reliable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend them, and we will definitely continue booking them!

Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!

Paula was very patient getting the leash and harness on him as well as walking him. I do appreciate that. I would recommend Paula and I would use her for future walks once my dog matures thank you.👍🏽🙌🏽🙏
