About: I’m a responsible 26 yr old and I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I’ve got over 5 years experience walking/sitting dogs. I’ve got 2 beautiful dogs, Storm & Groot, a silver lab & labordoodle so I know how important your 4 legged family members are to you. I know how important it is to provide high quality care for your dogs. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I try to make myself available 7 days a week and provide the love and care that all dogs need and deserve. I believe exercise is an important element to your dog’s physical and emotional health. We have 2 dogs with a fenced in backyard for them to enjoy the outdoors. I also think it’s also important for dogs to walk the neighborhood to become familiar with the area should one happen to get loose - I’ll teach them how to get home. I’ve also got experience with dogs required to be crated. I believe all dogs have different needs & desires, which is why I adapt to each dog with love and respect.

Colleen has been great with my dog! She's very communicative, flexible, and has braved the cold weather/snow to make sure my dog still gets good movement in. I highly recommend her.

Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!

Shanisha was great! We talked at length about my dog and his needs. She listened and asked thoughtful questions of her own. I feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care.

About: I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love any and all pups. My 10 year old dog recently passed. He was a one-dog household kind of guy, so my house feels very quiet without a pup in here. I’m also very used to caring for a dog who doesn’t always love other dogs. I work from home full time and have a large backyard. I can provide a minimum of 1 long walk each day, with frequent breaks out back. I have no other pets and no other people in my home. I have a fenced in yard and am here most of the time each day.

About: I cared for my childhood best friend, Shadow, a sweet cockapoo mix for all 15 years of her wonderful life. I have also cared for countless of my friends and family's best friends while they were away on vacation or for work. Dogs are my absolute favorite and I hope to rescue my next best friend sometime soon! I currently work remote full time, however my schedule is almost entirely flexible. I am able to work while I am sitting, or take breaks for pop in visits/dog walking. Most nights I am free as well, and with enough notice I am happy to schedule off time to check in on your furry friend! I am not able to care for your pets in my own home, as I live in an apartment with strict pet rules at the moment. However I am able to care for your pets at your home however you may need me to.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, safe, and loving environment I provide for every pet I care for. Animals naturally tend to feel comfortable around me, and I take pride in building trust with them through patience, attention, and affection. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, energy level, and needs so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that’s active playtime, relaxing cuddles, or simply keeping them company and making them feel loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home as an online tutor. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets attention before, after, and in between tutoring sessions throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means relaxing indoors with cuddles and companionship or getting outside for walks, playtime, fresh air, and exercise. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. When outdoors, I stay very aware of our surroundings and communicate carefully with others before allowing any interactions with people or other animals. I always prioritize safe walks, playtime, and exercise. Indoors, I make sure the environment is clean and pet-safe by keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and enjoying their time with me. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so pets feel safe, cared for, and at home while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life. I love to treat them like they are little humans. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I bring a calm, loving presence to every pet I care for. I’ve looked after both energetic pups and older cats with health issues—including one of my own—so I understand how to be patient, attentive, and gentle. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a reliable routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I can pop in before or after work and on weekends. I am open to other times if it works for the both of us. My schedule can be flexible depending the week! I have two cats in my Household currently. I care for them everyday by cleaning the cat box, fresh food and water. They love play time and bed time is at 10pm. They are well trained kitties.

Today was my dog’s first solo walk with Shanisa and I couldn’t be happier! Shanisa and I worked extensively with my dog to get him comfortable with her because he is usually very wary of strangers. He warmed up to Shanisa quickly and was comfortable with her in our home just by themselves. I now have more freedom and less worry knowing my dog will be safe and cared for when I cannot be home.
