“Kate was a lifesaver I was having a busy day and the pup was being crazy and needed a walk. Kate came right over and walked her and she was chill the rest of the morning! Thank you Kate!!!”

“Sophie is outstanding. She is always willing to help, even in a pinch. She always snaps photos of their walks and im convinced she’s able to get Shelby to smile. The quality that I most appreciate is that she is very reliable.Thank you Sophie!”
“Alysha fulfilled my same-day request and their communication put my mind totally at ease. I appreciate her punctuality and promptness, and am grateful she could visit my boy at home when I couldn’t. Thanks, Alysha! 🐾”

“So thankful Randy was able to walk our pups. I'll be reaching out again if I go out of town. Was communicative and friendly, followed instructions, and was great with the pups.”


About: In addition to owning 2 dogs (who now live with my parents), I have dog sat for years. Walking, feeding, and bathing are a part of my normal practices. I love to hike with dogs if you're interested! I'm working from home for the summer, so I'm available to take care of your pet any time you need! I also have a car, so I will be able to drive to you or anywhere you need. I have a large backyard and live right down the road from Morreene Road Park. I also have a screened-in porch that I can sit in with your pet while I work.
“Gina walked our dog Barley for an hour every day while we were at work. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. We could tell Barley enjoyed his walks because when we got home from work, he was calm and not antsy. We would highly recommend Gina and looking forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Yuji took amazing care of our pups and they had so much fun on their walk with him!! Wonderful attentiveness to their distinct personalities, needs and comfort. Can't wait for our next walk with him!”

About: Hello! My name is Ayana, and I’m 25 years old. I have a passion for working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work professionally in a dog daycare/boarding environment, where I spend my days caring for dogs in group play settings, monitoring behavior, supporting enrichment activities, and making sure every pup stays safe and has fun! I’ve had animals by my side for as long as I can remember and currently have a kitten of my own who completely runs the household. I also have a senior cat who still lives with my mom and will forever be my first baby. Through both personal and professional experience, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. At this time, I’m offering dog walks and drop-in visits. My work schedule can vary week to week, so I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my availability. I can’t wait to meet your pets, learn all their little quirks and personalities, and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! I plan on providing for your pet as if they were my own while still following all your wants and needs. I will make sure to send pictures and updates!
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 25 years while raising my five children. Since losing my loyal companion 2 years ago and empty nesting, I am ready to shower love and care to your beloved pet. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet and I can’t wait to meet your furry companion! I am currently a companion to my 90 year old mother and am home every day. I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs. Deck available at home- yard is not fenced in. Beautiful walking area around the lake behind our home.
“Ashlee did a great job helping to wear out out dog during the day. She arrived when expected and always sent a picture from the walk. And she was flexible with the number and duration of the walks needed. I'll be happy to have her help out in the future.”


About: I grew up taking care of my family dog that we had for 13 wonderful years. I have been dog sitting for many years and have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past. My partner and I own a home in Hillsborough, where we have a large, fenced-in yard for our own pups, Reggie and Echo, to enjoy. Reggie is excitable and has a loud voice, and though he doesn't always know how to contain that energy, he's a lovebug who just wants to play with anyone and everyone. We've had a number of dogs here to stay with us, including a 12-week-old puppy, and he loves them all! We recently got him a little sister, Echo. After a 2-hour adjustment period, they were fast friends and snuggling as they napped! She's also a sweetheart and is working on learning good manners. Reggie and Echo spend most of their time traipsing around the back yard and napping in the sun. I work from home, so your dog can get plenty of supervised playtime! I can also send plenty of pictures during your little one's stay if you'd like! Let me care for your sweet pup when you are away from home! I work from home full time, so your dog and mine will have plenty of supervised care and time to play and explore the backyard! We live on an acre, and the back half is completely fenced in with a 5 ft fence to keep all pups safe and contained!
About: Hello! I am excited for the chance to get to know your furry loved one. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and understand how important they are to our lives. I will treat them like my own. I bring an easy going, friendly, and understanding energy to every pet care opportunity. I have 3 pets with my partner, one anxious pit bull from the pound, one very particular tabby cat, and one of the most loving siamese cats. They have taught me the complexity of pet behavior and how each one has their own specific needs. I am happy to wear a mask inside your home and test for COVID before arriving. If you are looking for a detail oriented, friendly, queer ,COVID conscious and trusted pet sitter, then I am the right pet sitter for you. Thank you for trusting me with your loved one! I am available for walks, check ins, and night stays during the week. I have open availability during the weekends and holidays. Depending on the request I can do my best to accommodate your request. I will follow your recommendations and requests very closely. I will make sure to give your pets a lot of attention and send frequent updates and photos. I treat all pets with patience, respect, and understanding as if they were my own. Just like people, animals have their own boundaries and ways of communicating.
“Kat is such a patient and friendly lady. She’s great with dogs and very responsible when walking my dog. She even brought a raincoat for my dog on rainy days which is so considerate. I’ll definitely come back again to her if I need someone to take care of my dog in the future. :))”
