About: Hello doggy parents and families! My name is Maryssa, I’m 28 years old and a stay at home mom with lots of free time, and a love for animals. I am new to rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve 20+ years of pet care experience, and am looking to build my pet sitting business. I have a huge passion for dogs, with two mixed pit bulls at home, and a short haired tabby cat. I am skilled in dog walking (any size ☺️), strict feeding schedules, cuddles, and more. Please message me any care needs you have and I will be sure to accommodate. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your furry friend! I’m a stay at home mom and I have a lot of free time! I love spending time with my dogs, going for walks and to the dog park! In my home my animals can be crated if needed, and they are let outside on a long lead. For visits for your animal, I can provide any service needed!

“Karinna took Toby for an afternoon walk. I know how excited he gets to be outside so I’m so happy Karinna was available. I appreciated the write up and pics of his time. I’d recommend Karinna for walks with your fur babies.”

About: I’m experienced with High energy breeds and dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for a spirited German short haired pointer daily since she was a puppy, ensuring her exercise and play needs were met to support her older owner. I’ve also cared for various needy dogs, tailoring playtime to their unique energy levels whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys. Beyond exercise, I provide plenty of cuddles to make dogs feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide your dog with the same love and attention that you do! My schedule is mostly flexible. I am able to accommodate weekday bookings and weekends with advance notice. I can also offer holiday care when requested. I have experience with dogs that have a tendency to pull on the lead during walks. I have learned the best way to handle this is to shorten the leash, offer positive affirmations and treats for good behavior. Tell me more about your dog so I can ensure they will be safe!

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

“Bekka was wonderful with my dog Spencer! She took him for a nice walk and then threw some toys around for him as well. He loved his time with Bekka! Will definitely be rebooking!”

About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.

About: When I was 8 years old, I walked around my neighborhood slipping flyers for my pet-sitting business into every mailbox I could find. Fifteen years later, that same drive—and love for animals—still fuels me. I’ve cared for everything from puppies and kitties to senior cats and dogs, and I always bring patience, attention, and genuine affection to every pet I meet! I have two cats of my own and am awoken each morning by a chatty or snuggly friend. I feed them twice a day and let them roam in the afternoon outside. When they come in for the night they come up to bed with me and I can’t think of a better way to end my day! I understand that a lot of animals can be timid or shy, so I always let them approach me before petting or touching them. If I’m walking a dog then I will make sure that I have everything I need and that they need (poop bags, water, treats if it’s a hike) before we embark on our journey. If I’m in a home with a cat that is shy but friendly I will usually lower myself to the ground and let them smell me and decide how they feel about me. I like to listen to music with my animals and we play with toys and outside often.

“Megan is always so responsible and cares for my dog like it’s her own. She communicates and sends photos when caring for my dog. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I've surrounded by domestic animals since I was very little growing up in a farm. As an adult I always had a pet and took care of family and friend's pets. I run an online business and I am home most the time. I will have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pet. I lived with my husband in a very large house and a fenced backyard. Plus a have a friendly medium side dog who loves other pets. He would be a great companion for your furry baby.

“Rebecca has been amazing addition to Knox's week. He looks forward to his runs and loves all the love he gets from her. Shes great at giving you detailed info on the walks and is super informative and communicative. Thanks Rebecca! You've definitely exceeded my expectations!”

“Cierra has been very patient with working with my reactive dog BFF. BFF is weary of people and has a hard time trusting strangers but Cierra was patient and allowed BFF to approach first. This helped established a bond that now allows BFF to be comfortable enough around Cierra on BFF's walks and even take treats from Cierra!”

About: *PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR EXACT AVAILABILITY!* It all began with my very first dog when I was young and since then, I've been obsessed with them! Growing up, I had the pleasure of owning unforgettable dogs, loving cats, farm animals and just about any type of pet you can think of! As I got older, I turned my passion into a career and started working with dogs in a professional setting. I have 7 years of experience working in different daycares, kennels and doing personal dog walks for friends and family. At my most recent job, I worked my way up to become the manager of the entire facility after working there for almost 6 years! During that time, I've learned how to handle dogs of different size and temperament. I'm very well knowledgeable on dog behavior and have acquired skills such as proper leash manners/handling along with other various training tricks while in various pet care settings. Administering medications, feeding allergy specific food and following other detail instructions provided by pet owners are all tasks I've mastered while at my previous pet care jobs. I've also perfected services like providing baths, trimming/filling nails and cleaning ears that I can offer to you and your furry friend! Working in a daycare setting truly has grown my perspective and understanding for dogs that gave me a deep connection to them in a special way. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and am working at an animals sanctuary that specifically provides for animals with behavioral and medical needs! Even the tough cookies who may have a hard time or have difficult personalities. I treat every animal like they're my own and strive to make the strongest bond I can with any I get the pleasure to know. Providing endless amounts of love and patience for your animal is my pleasure! Dog walking and pet care services are my main priority along with currently going to school to become a dog trainer. My availably isn't very limited and I have a very flexible schedule which makes me very reliable when it comes to bookings and appointments for your pet! My own personal pets and my clients pets all receive the best care possible! I have 5 pets of my own who all have different needs that I accommodate for accordingly. I am very attentive to any animal under my care and provide lots of updates and pictures to clients making sure not to leave out any details and put their mind at ease!
