“Thomas did an amazing job in take care of our two boxers. He was on time, reliable, communicated well, and went above and beyond to ensure that each dog was properly walked, exercised, and cared for. Highly recommend Thomas for any of your pet walking and care needs!”
“Shawn is very good and caring with dogs, particularly older dogs. My dog enjoys his walks withher very much.”
“Highly recommend Brian! If you want to make your dogs, and you, so happy, Brian crushes in a really important way. He communicated a lot and I knew I could rely on him.. Even on the initial meet & greet. He confirms before every visit that he’ll be there, you know when he arrives and departs, and you get an update of the visit with pictures. He seriously reduced my anxiety while I was out of town. He visited midday (my hubby was home at night) to feed them and give them a walk. They were so happy during the week and I attribute a lot of this to Brian’s attention and his love of dogs we saw from him on the meet & greet. My 2 dogs are 100 lbs and a reactive 75 lbs and he walked them together.”
About: I’ve watch dogs and cats for four years when needed, from a one time visit to 2 weeks of checking in three times daily. I’ve also handled turtles and fish in the same capacity. Am happy to clean out a litter box, take a dog on a walk, or do more. Any added bookings within 24 hours of the first check in, or during visits, is subject to an additional 16$ fee. I’m a student full time and therefore am out of the house from around 9-2 most days but am otherwise available for your pet care needs. I love to spend some extra time at a clients home giving their animal more love and affection to ensure they don’t feel lonely or abandoned.
About: From energetic labs to more lethargic Bichon's, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs in the short time I've been in the dog sitting game. Whether it be just a simple walk for a mile or so, to bathing, many of the closest people around me have looked to me when they needed their pet cared for. Though I've only "pet sat" for about a year now, my family has been blessed to have been able to have 4 dogs in my lifetime (with our current being my yorkie bichon King Zeus), with everyone of them adding experience to a different aspect of what it means to correctly care for a pet. I'm a part-time employee at a pizza place, so most days there is plenty of time for me to spend time with any dog staying with me! I see every pet that I care for as if it's my very own, meaning I'm am willing to go the extra mile to ensure that not only the pet is as comfortable as they can be, but also their owner can entrust them in my care knowing that their little baby will be safe. In terms of the living area in my house, it's very pet friendly with wide spaces and a VERY big backyard so that pets can play to their heart's content.
About: I am a Holistic Pet Health and Nutrition Coach specializing in recipe formulation and Dalmatians. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years and I have added dogs to my household. I can assist those that are interested or intimidated by homemade pet food. I have a business around pet wellness, health, and nutrition specializing in recipe formulation and Dalmatians. My schedule is completely flexible to meet the requirements of my clients. Caring for pets is dependent on the pet in front of me and their unique qualities. I allow pets to be themselves and be comfortable around me. I put in the dedicated time and effort for each pet I care for.
“Eileen and her husband are very kind people. My pup loves them and did great on the first walk! Will definitely book again.”
“Madeline did an excellent job with our dogs. She was on time , did everything as instructed and wrote a detailed report . We were very happy with her service.”
“Amy is wonderful and very reliable! I've used her the past couple of months to walk my dog and I'm so glad I found her. It's also a huge plus that my dog adores her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 10, 12, and 14 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays. My routine includes a morning, afternoon and an evening walk after dinner. The fenced backyard provides opportunities for exercise outside of walks. I follow your pets normal feeding schedule and will only provide the food and treats that you provide to avoid any allergy or food intolerance concerns. On school days, my husband is typically working from home so there is usually someone home without long periods of being left home alone. Pets are cared for as part of the family and receive lots of love and attention.
About: I have been around animals my whole life including dogs, cats, horses, iguanas, chickens, and rabbits. I am retired and have plenty of time for pet care. I am retired and have a very open schedule. I have two small dogs, a cat, and rabbits that my daughter helps me with which gives me flexibility. I have 2 small dogs, a cat, and rabbits on nearly 2 acres of land. I live in a neighborhood and have plenty of places to go on walks.
About: I've been surrounded by pets all my life, and helping take care of them since I was 3. I'm most experienced with cats and dogs of ages ranging from a few weeks old to end-of-life, and have consistent experience with cleaning accidents, brushing, bathing, and special dietary or medicinal needs. I'd love to meet your pets and help take care of them for any reason, so you can be happy and they can be happy! Currently I am unemployed, although I am looking for a consistent part-time summer job as well. This may affect my hours, but as of my current standing, I can help pet and house sit at a moment's notice! Depending on your pets' needs, I'm willing to split my time between caring for them and making sure their environment is perfect for them to thrive. I regularly check to make sure they have enough food and will set alarms for any designated meal times, as well as regularly keep track of any notable events that you might want to hear about. However, given that every pet and every home is different, I'm willing and able to care for your pets in any way you see fit!
About: I have pet and dog sat for our neighbors and family friends numerous times. My family has previously had guinea pigs, frogs, and fish, and currently have a turtle and a few fish tanks. I currently do not have a job, and have the flexibility to be able to be home with pets or go take care of them. I love animals and would appreciate the opportunity to work with them. With my guinea pigs, I cleaned their cage, made sure they had food and water, and bathed them as needed. With fish and my turtle, I made/make sure their tank is clean and give them food. When watching dogs at my house, I took them outside when needed to go to the bathroom, gave them food and water, and took them for walks. When caring for pets at the owner's house, I took the dogs out to go to the bathroom and on wake as needed, and fed the other pets if applicable.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for the past 3 years and I have loved every minute of it! I am reliable, attentive, trustworthy and will treat your pet like my own. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just hanging out and keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Pet care is what I do every day, and I truly enjoy it. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, an evening drop-in, or multiple visits throughout the day, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care when you need it. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or giving snuggles, I will always ensure a secure environment for your pet. I know how important it is to build trust with both pets and their owners. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so they feel at ease with me. I will provide you with updates and a picture, so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Lara has been extremely easy to work with and very patient with our dog. We appreciate her taking good care of our pup.”
“Stephanie was awesome! She was able to take my booking within a short notice & walked boomer 2 miles! Boomer is happy and we will definitely be in touch with her again! Thank you Stephanie!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania and really enjoy all the animals. That said, my favorite animals are dogs and they love me. I'm excited and honored to get to know your special fur baby! I got my Teddy, a Cockapoo, as an 8 week old puppy right before Covid and I crate trained him. He's real good with other dogs but he's not a big player. I work full time, so I’m available after work on Friday through Sunday. Time frame Friday at 6 pm onward through Sunday evening. I enjoy walking and I would be able to provide plenty of walks in the community or we can visit the dog park about 1/2 mile down the street. I could brush hair and wash face each day that I have your fur baby. I would care for your dog in my home. I can easily section off rooms by closing doors because my main living space is large. I can crate your dog if you desire and if he is comfortable. The outdoor deck is enjoyable because it's shady and another space to look around. Also feeding and providing water and stretching out and resting.
“They are having so much fun with you!”
“Kelly was on time and took great care of our dog. We will definitely ask Kelly to help us again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long I can remember! I’ve had everything from dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, hermit crabs, even hedgehogs! I would love to spend some time taking your babies for a walk or to play at the park! I’m available Monday-Friday from 9am-2pm. I can make weekends work, if needed. Please reach out with any questions you may have about scheduling or specific needs for your pet. I have a very well loved goldendoodle named 18,000 (yes, I’m serious)! He is the best companion and friend to our 3 kids! His favorite things are peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, marshmallows and the snow.

Shawn is very good and caring with dogs, particularly older dogs. My dog enjoys his walks withher very much.
Lara has been extremely easy to work with and very patient with our dog. We appreciate her taking good care of our pup.
Alexis is amazing with my dog and she was able to squeeze me in last minute. She plays fetch with him after his walk so he can get more exercise!
I thank Jesus for this lovely lady! This was our first time using Rover and boy, oh boy, did Lori make it a beautiful experience! What a phenomenal human being she is. My dogs fell in love with her instantly (which is not normal) and the way she went above and beyond during her services and in her communication was the icing on the cake. I would recommend her 10000/10. I am truly grateful that we had an opportunity to experience such a wonderful person as she!
