About: While I haven't done professional pet sitting yet, I've helped care for my family's pets for years and learned a lot about what it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I've always been happy to give our pets walks, food, playtime. Overall just providing my family's pets with care and love has been a wonderful experience. I may not have formal experience yet, but I'm attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I'm excited to bring the same love and care to your beloved furry companion. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry friend. I'm available most weekdays after 12:30-1 PM and fully open on most weekends for walking, or drop-in visits. Taking care of animals brings me joy, and I love having it as a part of my daily routine. I'm happy to follow specific routines or instructions you have relating to your furry friend - whether that's walking, crate training, feeding schedules, or favorite toys and treats. I treat every animal with the same love and respect as my family's pets.
About: I’ve trained my own dog since she was a puppy—she’s incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and knows I’m deaf, so she communicates by nudging me instead of barking. That same calm, intuitive approach is what I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family while they were out of town, and after hearing how much they appreciated the care I gave, I decided to join the Rover community. I’m patient, attentive, and understand how to work with dogs of all temperaments, whether they’re young, high-energy pups or older dogs needing a slower pace. I work from home, and we have a nice, large, fenced-in yard where your pup can play with our dog and enjoy the finer things in life! Each morning, we enjoy taking our pup for a brisk walk around the block or letting them play at the nearby school. Afterward, we return home for a morning nap before heading out for a longer walk or a play session in the front yard!
“Mercedes is always so amazing taking care of our Nala - she enjoys walking and spending time with Nala - and updates regularly and with lots of pictures and videos. Would highly recommend her to anyone that needs someone to spend time with their loved fur baby !”
“So happy we found Lilly on rover!! She really took the time to make sure our little Aussie was happy while we were away. Trustworthy and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur child, thanks again! ”
“Katie took great care of my two kitties. She was very responsive before my trip and seemed comfortable with them right away. She also sent lots of videos while I was away.”
About: What sets me apart is my people-first background and strong attention to detail — skills I now bring to pet care! I’ve managed teams, cared for others professionally, and now work from home full-time, so your pet gets dedicated time and attention. I’m especially patient and calm, which makes me great with senior dogs, shy pets, or those with special routines. I’m also comfortable giving medication (oral/topical) and love supporting puppies as they learn the ropes. My approach is always warm, gentle, and tailored to your pet’s unique personality. You can count on me for reliable communication, a safe and loving environment, and lots of belly rubs! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide your pet with plenty of attention & playtime. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon snuggles, or evening check-ins, I’m able to adapt to what your pet needs — and keep you updated along the way. Caring for animals brings joy and balance to my day, and I love having them as part of my routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and medication — so they feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved. Whether it’s keeping their favorite blanket nearby or maintaining their usual potty schedule, I adapt to their needs and your preferences. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while your pet stays happy in their familiar space.

Tania W.
“If you’re looking for someone who treats every dog like family, look no further than Tania! I’ve known Tania for years, and she’s truly a dog whisperer. She’s cared for pups of all personalities, from the goofballs and the couch potatoes to those with behavioral quirks (yes, even the “leash gremlins”), resource guarding, or occasional aggression. Tania isn’t fazed by anything: she’s handled dogs with anxiety, stubborn leash pullers, escape artists, and those who get a little possessive over their favorite toy or food bowl. She’s also got hands-on experience with dogs needing daily medication and has cared for senior dogs through tough times, including cancer treatment. Through it all, her patience and kindness never waver. What really sets Tania apart is her knack for matching each dog’s energy and needs. If your pup loves long hikes, Tania’s ready to hit the trails. If your aging buddy is more about short loops and sniff breaks, she’s just as happy to slow it down and make every outing special. Every dog she watches gets plenty of love, attention, and (of course) treats, plus all the right adventures, whether that means conquering mountains or just a gentle stroll around the block. If you want someone you can trust to handle anything - whether your pup has quirks, medical needs, or just needs a little extra TLC - Tania is the sitter you want. Your dog will be in the absolute best hands!”
