“Wes was wonderful, Harriet was very happy when I got home.”
About: My dog had 11 puppies and I got the exciting opportunity to take care of them. From making sure they are were fed to getting enough socialization, I was there to help! In addition to taking care of dogs and puppies, I have two cats at home and love taking care of them too! I am in college, so I do have morning classes, but I am done with class by 11am Wednesday-Friday. I am done with class by 3pm on Mondays and 5pm on Tuesdays, but I have plenty of time in between to visit your furry friends! Since I live on campus, I am free most weekends as well. I have plenty of time to spend with your cat or dog to ensure that they are getting that daily walk or time to run around in the backyard!
“Awesome!! Rocky ( German Shepard fur baby) gets so excited to see him every single time! I apologize Tracy for Rocky jumping on you every time he sees you to say hello lol he’s a big boy! I highly recommend Tracey!!”
About: I've been a dog owner since I was 12. My husband, Ryan, and I have experience with all types of dogs and a neighborhood full of friendly dogs that's great for long walks. We do have 2 children, ages 7 and 8. They are NOT be around during traditional "work" hours, 8:30am-5pm M-F, but will be present on evenings and weekends. They are calm and respectful around animals and will never be left alone with your pet. I work from home 5 days per week, and am home most weekends. I own my own company and only work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks and playtime. We live in a urban walking-friendly neighborhood, just 1 block from the River Greenway trail. There is plenty of space in my office for a dog to curl up and make itself at home. In nicer months, I work outside on our shaded open-air porch, and would love for your dog to join me!
“Such a wonderful first time using Rover all because of Paris! Super fast response time to all messages, reliable, experienced and my dogs loved her immediately! Now we can travel without worrying! Thanks Paris!!”
“Ruthie adores Stephanie!”
About: I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 dogs of my own (a sweet and shy Pomeranian and a goofy, friendly Newfoundland) and two dog-friendly cats. I am willing to work with many different personalities when it comes to our visiting pups. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your dog’s specific needs and offer the attention they need to feel comfortable with me. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times, transportation to and from my home if needed, and I have plenty of extra supplies so that you can leave behind any non-essential items. I hope to provide your dog with the type of care that allows you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet. Rest assured that I will be upfront and honest if I am not able to meet your expectations, rather than neglect your dog and leave them scared and missing you! Dogs are welcome to play with other furry friends, but I also provide them privacy if they need a little space. I am able to separate dogs within my home and yard to keep them safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become fast friends so you can be confident in my services. **At this time, I am unable to host dogs larger than ~40 lbs.** I do not work outside of my home. I have 3 children so I do leave the house for school and activity transportation. I am home with the dogs between drop-off and pick-ups for my kids. I have a fenced backyard, as well as an additional doggy play area. The sun room is always locked when dogs are hanging out there. The dogs are double fenced when playing and always supervised during potty breaks in the yard. I secure all dogs to the kitchen when another dog is being picked up or dropped off.
“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”
“We liked Christina immediately at the "Meet & Greet" and our dogs also liked her during the pet visits and walks. She was great at sending us pictures and communicating with us about our pets. She was very punctual for the visit times and was able to get our dogs to do most of their business outside - which is no easy feat! We highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable dog-sitter/walker and look forward to using her services again.”
About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.
“He’s been very communicative and awesome with my dog Vera! He takes her for walks and to the dog park which is great for her. We like him a ton!”
“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”
About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).
About: Hi there! I’m Anahi, and I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver 😊 I started when I was 17 years old, caring for my family’s pets. My previous pet was a dog named Nova, she got along well with my kids and other dogs! I’m reliable, trustworthy and have experience with both routine care and special requests! I’m also very understanding and flexible with my prices- please feel free to message me and I’m sure we can figure something that works for the both of us! Trust your furry friend to someone who understands, they’re more than just pets, they’re family !🐶💗 I can offer daily walks, a backyard where we can play all day, treats, toys and more! Im a stay at home mom, with plenty of time on my hands ! I’m looking into doing pet care because of my previous dog. I used to spend all day with her, she was the sweetest and I just feel like keeping myself busy with pets would bring a lot of fun back into mine and my family’s life without having to replace her right away 🥲 In my home, I can provide daily walks, supervised play time outside, toys, cuddles and more! I will ask for feeding and potty schedule, and a crate just in case I need to run out and do an errand. When caring in my clients home, it’s all based on their preferences 😁
“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”
“Erin was great to work with super flexible and willing to help with our pup despite with our busy hectic schedule!”
About: I grew up around dogs for the majority of my life. I have always been an animal lover and supporter of animal rights, and I would love to have a career in animal care. Dog-sitting will be wonderful for me and the animals. I have a 6-year-old pug named Winston that I love more than anything! He is the friendliest dog, and he would love to have new friends to visit and play with. I will do anything to ensure every dog is taken care of properly and enjoys its life to the fullest! In most cases, I like animals more than humans, just don't tell my husband! If you hire me to watch after your dog, you will not regret it. I am currently available for weekday doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. I can also dog sit at my home during the weekdays and some weekends. I have a fenced-in yard for my pug and my cat. My animals are allowed on the couch and beds, but I will only allow your dog to get on the couch. If I watch your dog in your home, I will definitely follow your rules though.
“I had a last minute need for a dog walker and Alydia was extremely accommodating! My pup, Maximus, had an immediate liking to her so that says enough! I received tons of photos from their walk which set my mind at ease knowing he was in great hands! I would highly recommend Alydia and will be having her walk my pup again!”
“Elena was fantastic with my old girl. I know my dog can be very shy when meeting new people and I heard she warmed right up! She was excited every time Elena came to pick her up for a walk. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and taking such good care of Chloe. ?❤️”
