About: I live a very active lifestyle, so I would be able to give your pet an excellent level of activity, comfort, and care. I’ve always believed pets thrive when they stay engaged and exercised, and I’m here to make sure your dog gets just that. Whether your dog needs a brisk jog, a fun play session, or a calm walk around the neighborhood, I match their energy.. and more! I treat every pet like my own and their safety + happiness are my top priorities. I’m only working part-time right now, so I have plenty of room around my schedule to work with your pets. I have the most time in the morning and late afternoon/early evening, so I can even house sit for your pet! I treat all pets with respect and I give full attention to their needs and routine. I’m a quick learner, so if there’s any particular instruction that needs to be addressed, I will adapt to that with ease.
“Stephanie did a great job with my cat Pepper. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that everything was taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much Stephanie!”
“Sophia was wonderful with my cat 🐈⬛ Kali! During her cat sitting home visits, she was meticulous, attentive, and kept track of all the necessary details. I really appreciated her timely updates and thoughtful care. What amazed me most was how quickly Kali, who’s usually quite shy, warmed up to her. Sophia is truly a cat whisperer, and I’m so grateful for the love and care she provided!”
“So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!”
“Nicole is so patient, understanding, & incredibly hard working!!! We’re so lucky to have found a dog sitter who takes the time & energy to really take care of the dogs! The dogs love her too!”
“Katherine took great care of my two cats. They quickly became very affectionate with her. She was great on communication and flexible with arrangements. I would trust my cats with her anytime!”
About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.
“Emily was awesome, and took great care of my dog on her visits! She helped make sure Birdie got her dinner/treats while I was out, and sent great photos! I’d definitely have her walk Birdie again! 😊”
“Katherine was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, sending me photos and detailed updates every day. My cat is old and sassy and doesn’t really like people - but she liked Katherine! Definitely would recommend and trust.”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals—including multiple cats and a beloved dog growing up—I understand the unique personalities and needs of both feline and canine companions. I currently share my home with a sweet cat, and I treat every pet I care for like family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some comforting company, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work full time (hybrid) as an accountant and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for you and your pet! On typical work from home days and weekends I am flexible with pet care throughout the day, and office days I am available before 7:30 am and after 5:30 pm. I value pets safety and would carefully follow instructions and limitations/resources for each pet within their home. We have an indoor cat and I understand the importance of keeping them safe!
“Laurel was very communicative and conscientious taking care of my kitty while I was away. She also sent very regal looking photos and a cute video, which was very appreciated. I'd book her again easily!”
“Kaitlyn is an awesome dog walker/drop in visitor! Typically I work from home but had a 3 in office days this week and she understood Mabel’s anxiety perfectly and let her out and walked as much as Mabel was comfortable. So lucky to have found her!”
“Olivia is the absolute best, and my two dogs adored her from the first moment they met her (my cats love her, too!). She goes the extra mile when caring for my fur babies, even wiping off their paws when it is rainy or muddy outside. I absolutely love the updates and pictures I receive during her visit, and I always feel reassured they are getting the best care. Thank you, Olivia for loving my fur babies!”
About: My family got a puppy a couple years ago so I have had years of experience with dogs from puppy age to adult age. Our dog is very active and tends to be reactive on walks, so I know how to give an effective walk while keeping the dog in control. I have experience with crating, super long walks, and controlling reactive dogs! I’m extremely reliable, always on time (if not early), and very responsible. I’m currently a researcher so I work ~8-4 but my hours are flexible and I can watch your pet as early or as late in the day as needed! It’s a great excuse to get some exercise for myself and for your pet. I can adjust to whatever the standard of care is for the individual dog, whether it's specific instructions for a walk, feeding, or anything else. Will always make sure to respect the client's home and leave it clean.
About: I have taken care of family dogs and neighbor dogs my whole life, including small and large, young and old. I’ve administered medicines, made accommodating meals, love to go on walks, and I’m dedicated and reliable. I’m currently a freelance artist, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can be available on short notice, and willing to meet any needs your pet may have while in my care. I want to make dogs and cats happy and healthy, and I’m willing to accommodate any activity levels- playful or not. I will protect them and take care of them and make sure they have a great day

“Lukas walked my dog regularly for many years! He also did some in home visits while my family and I were traveling! Brady, our beloved German Shephard absolutely adored Lukas:) We always knew he was in good hands when we traveled. Lukas was amazing at getting him the exercise he needed, giving him his medicine, and keeping him happy and healthy while we were gone. I honestly could not recommend a better person to care for your pet!”

ELIZABETH H.
“My family has a small Chihuahua named Stella who is about 14 years old, she is a member of our family and can be skittish to strangers. We hired Elizabeth to watch her for a week while we were away and she treated Stella with the outmost love and care. Stella was quick to trust Elizabeth, sitting in her lap almost immediately. We got daily updates as to how she was doing and even a video of her having fun at the dog park. Elizabeth made us feel comfortable and at ease while being away as we knew Stella was in great hands. Elizabeth has a wonderful caring heart and we look forward to using her in the future for all doggie needs. You can count on her to take great care of any furry friend you have.”

Robbie did a truly amazing job watching my cats! I was new to Rover and get very nervous leaving my cats, but Robbie made me feel so at ease with her consistent communication and picture updates. She has the best energy and is so kind, my cats loved her! Would definitely rebook and recommend her to anyone!
Chelsea was incredibly professional and trustworthy, and her thorough Rover Cards and open communication eased all of our worries. After our meet and greet, we felt fully confident in Chelsea’s preparedness and her wealth of experience. We look forward to using her services again and would highly recommend to anyone.
Samantha continues to do a fantastic job taking care of my senior kitty. She not only stuck to my cat’s medication schedule and made sure that she was fed, but spent time with her made sure my kitty got lots of attention and pets. I can definitely recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for a reliable cat sitter!
Willow did such a great job looking after our queen! She came in advance to do a meet and greet and we knew it was a good sign when our 17-year old cat came right out to say hello. Willow asked all the right questions and we felt we were in good hands. All throughout our time away she sent tons of pictures and updates each day. She even shared potential concerns we hadn't specifically mentioned just in case they were things we wanted to know. We would for sure try to work with Willow again!
