“Madison did a fantastic job with our dachshund, Dax! She kept us updated, sent us pictures, and she was very nice and easy to work with. We highly recommend her services if you’re ever in need!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a pet owner myself and understand how much our pets mean to us. I have two dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and walks to giving senior dogs extra patience, attention, and care. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and any special instructions your pet may need. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! 🐾❤️ My Pet-Sitting Availability 🐾 I work full-time but live close to work, which allows me to come home during my lunch break to check on your pets and spend quality time with them. * Monday–Friday: Available for pet care in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and in the evenings after work. * Overnight Care: Available any night of the week! * Saturday–Sunday: Available for boarding and extended pet care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your fur babies are in loving, caring hands! I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in keeping a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision.
“This was our first time boarding with Ms. Porsha and the experience was amazing. She kept us informed and sent plenty of pictures throughout our dogs stay. She is easy to work with and will give your dog plenty of love! We will definitely use her services again!”
About: Hi! My name is Cryston. I've had my dog Gunner since July of 2021 and since then, he has been the best part of my days! I love taking care of him and giving him the life he deserves, and I will treat your pet the same way! I've watched over my friends' & family's pets whenever they've needed help and realized how much I love doing it. Your fur baby will have a home away from home when in my care! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and learning all about them! I am currently working from home so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I can give potty breaks every hour and long walks every few hours. I can even take them to the dog park with your permission of course, to let your pet roam freely. I do have a beagle named Gunner who is 3 years old. He is very friendly and loves to play. I do not have a kennel in my home, so if your pet needs a crate please bring one! I will provide walks on a leash since I do not have a fenced in yard currently. There is a dog park 10 minutes away from me that I frequently bring my dog to, and I can bring yours along too if you'd like! If they need any medications or special attention, please let me know and I'll be happy to take care of their needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Albemarle home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Albemarle.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Albemarle sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
