“Marina was fantastic with Jasper, and very helpful and willing to walk him at the last minute. We brought Jasper home on a weekend and had not yet set up services with a regular dog, so it was a bit of an emergency and Marina was very understanding and warm with him! From the pictures she sent each day, he looked like he was having a great time with her. Jasper would love to spend time with Marina again, anytime!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for around 7 years as I've walked, played, or house-sat my own dog and my neighbors dogs and had a blast doing it. I am available most late mornings and afternoons, weekends are hard because I have soccer reffing for the whole day each day and it would be hard to squeeze a dog walk in. I can easily settle dogs down, crate dogs, and make them feel relaxed without stress when they sense danger or something is off. I am able to control them no matter the strength they have.

“Daniel has been great with taking our dog for her daily walks. He gives her the chance to take her time and explore and then does some enrichment activities with her when they get back. He is always on time and very communicative.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---

“Sammi is very kind and takes great care of our little dog. Her love of animals really shows. She responds quickly to communications and provides helpful feedback after each walk.”

About: I have years of personal experience caring for animals, including training my own golden retriever, Prince, who’s now almost 10. I started training him as a puppy, and I still love teaching him new tricks to keep him engaged, happy, and to improve our bond. Prince has also received care from Rover sitters, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust. I have high standards for how he’s treated, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I’m patient, kind, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like I do with my own dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now because I’m in college and have lots of free time over the summer. I am able to dedicate my days to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. During visits, I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by taking things at their pace. I give them plenty of attention, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and secure. I am attentive to all pets' needs, whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or just providing company.

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a kid and moved out of my parents house as an adult just to get a cat. I've worked with difficult dogs in the past and am very patient and thorough. I would love to show your furry family member the attention and care they deserve. I'm currently between jobs, so I can spend as much time as you need with your animals. Long walks or frequent drop-ins—I can be there. I am very thorough and detailed, so you can trust any instructions or directions you leave will be followed. I know how important your animals are to you and I want to make sure the next time you see them, they are as safe and happy and as when you left.

“Katie has been consistently punctual and communicates proactively, sharing lots of detailed feedback and pictures after her time with our puppy. It is evident she takes pride in her work, and we look forward to continuing working with Katie as a tremendous asset in our puppy’s training. professional and responsible with our puppy,”

“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”

“Kaitlyn was great with our 80-pound bernedoodle; we asked her (somewhat last minute!) if should do two walks in a day for us, and she came through! She met him during the initial meet and greet and was great with him, showed up and walked him as expected. I would definitely recommend Kaitlyn.”

“Not only was Florence really accommodating, Florence asked about the mannerisms of my pup beforehand to gauge an understanding of her. Recommend Florence easily!”

About: I have years of experience volunteering with dogs of all ages at local shelters through fostering and adoption events! I also grew up with 3 dogs myself. Using this summer off from school as an opportunity to give back with my kids and help you and your dog! I work as a teacher and nanny full time. My kids and I all love animals and love when we have the opportunity to play with them! I hope to be able to adhere to your schedule and uphold routine for your pup when you cannot! I plan to continue your dog’s care catered to your needs and training specifications so that all visits with your pup will be just as they are with you.

“I've gone to Sofia twice now to walk my energetic working dog and each time has been a joy! Finding a walker for the middle of the day can be difficult, but Sofia has been there each time I needed her. Jace is always happier on days she comes by!”
