About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years — from my own pets to those of family, friends, and coworkers. My heart has always been with animals, and this fall, I’ll be starting my own animal rescue. When your pet is in my care, you can trust they’ll be loved, nurtured, and spoiled! I am currently working a full time day job from 8-4pm Monday through Friday. However, I am available every day from 5-11pm! Weekends I am free from 4-11pm as well! My priority is always to understand your pet’s unique needs. I start by asking what your pet likes, dislikes, and if there’s anything specific you’d like me to do during my visit. While I’m there, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get a potty break before I leave. The rest of the visit is dedicated to enrichment—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, training, or exercise—so you come home to a happy, well-cared-for best friend.
About: I've cared for my own and other people's dogs for about 13 years. I've completed a year of dog training at an apprenticeship program and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes! Along with that, I also worked at a doggy daycare where multiple dogs would play together. I've cared for dogs as small as a 5-pound chihuahua to as large as an 85-pound German Shepherd. I can handle different energy levels, whether that's lazing around and short walks, or as long as 2-hour walks! Let me care for your dog and go on mini adventures! I am currently looking for a full-time dog-training apprenticeship, and I think this is the perfect opportunity to continue interacting with animals! I love being able to enjoy a pet's goofy side and seeing their different personalities. In your home, I will follow your instructions exactly. I can be flexible and am a great communicator. If I ever have any questions or concerns about your pet's safety or care, I will message or call you immediately. As for walks, if there is a specific park or place you would like your dog to walk around within a reasonable distance, I will go to it! If there are also special instructions for walks, such as not letting other people pet your dog, if your dog has certain ways to greet people, etc, I will follow those as well!
“Evan was attentive to the boys, giving them lots of pets and cuddles, and he followed my recommended schedule and instructions precisely! Great communication throughout and the pups would love to have Evan as a dogsitter again in the future! Thank you for being there for them while we were away.”
“Karrie did a great job and caring for Chase and the house! When we got home Chase was his happy self and really seemed like he enjoyed Karrie’s company. The house was well taken care of as well!! Would definitely book with Karrie again!”
“Jackson took great care of my two cats while I was away. He sent me daily updates on how the cats were doing and made sure to take time to play with them. I'm happy to have found someone like Jackson whom I can trust to take care of my cats again in the future! I highly recommend booking Jackson for your pet needs.”
“I was a tad anxious to leave my pup with a new sitter but Heather was fantastic with my basenji, Lady. Knowing I have someone like Heather to watch and love and comfort my dog while I’m away is priceless!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I’ve worked with dogs that are special needs and require medication. I love all dogs but have a soft spot for giant breeds. I have fostered for a giant breed rescue and had 2 big boys of my own for over 10 years. I work a pretty flexible day job that allows me to be available to take care of any pet needs. I am a single dad and my daughter loves helping me out with the pet snuggles. I live in an apartment that is very accommodating to pets of all kind. I am 2 blocks from a great park for walking and running. I have 2 cats that live with me and always love meeting new furry friends. I also have professional animal care experience in a zoological setting.

Avondale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jayden is a wonderful sitter. For the first time ever, our small dog squeezed through our back gate and took off. We were thousands of miles away and Jayden kept her calm and assured us she would find her. Within 30 minutes our dog was found. Jayden also had to deal with some difficult issues with our special needs dog, and for that we are deeply appreciative.
This was our first time leaving our pets with someone other than family. I was very nervous. But Kelsey took away all my anxiety and provided excellent care and love to our pets. I now have more pictures of our pets than I have ever taken. Thank you Kelsey for the loving care and assurance you provided.
