“Patty was amazing. She regularly shared pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. My animals were a bit disappointed when I walked in after being gone and realized it wasn’t her. Would highly recommend.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — as a lifelong dog owner, I've grown up understanding what they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. Beyond my own pets, I've cared for dogs belonging to friends and family over the years, and have also gained hands-on professional experience when I worked at a veterinarian clinic as a teenager. What I bring to every walk and drop-in visit is a calm, patient presence. I believe dogs pick up on your energy, so I always show up grounded and relaxed — which helps them feel at ease too. Whether your pup is bouncy and excitable or more of a laid-back companion, I take the time to meet them where they are and give them the attention they deserve. You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own. I am a teacher on Summer break looking to get out of the house while making a little money on the side. Weekdays and Saturdays are preferable but I would consider a Sunday visit if necessary. Since I come to your home, your dog gets to stay in the place they feel most comfortable — no adjustment period, no unfamiliar surroundings. My goal is to keep their day as normal as possible, following the routine you've already set so they barely notice you're gone. This includes sticking to any feeding schedules or medication needs — I'm experienced with administering medicine to animals, so you can trust your pet is in capable hands even when they're not feeling their best. On walks, I keep dogs leashed at all times and stay mindful of our surroundings, avoiding interactions with strangers or unfamiliar dogs unless you've given the go-ahead. Your pup's safety is always the priority. Before your first booking, I'll ask for your vet's contact information and any emergency instructions — because being prepared ahead of time is just part of taking the job seriously. You'll never have to wonder how things are going — I send regular photo and text updates so you can see for yourself that your dog is happy and in good hands.

About: I have spent many years fostering puppies/ dogs with an organization called “mostly mutts.” I have always been an animal lover. I’m very attentive and protective of every animal I come in contact with! Given the opportunity to watch someone else’s furry, I would treat them as my own! I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I am very strong and can manage larger breeds of dogs. I understand that people’s pets are a part of the family and they deserve only the best care. I take being a Rover dog walker/ sitter very seriously because of this. Your pup will be in very good hands! I also have a love for cats so I’d be more than happy to cat sit as well! I can’t wait to meet your furries!

“Edi was an amazing sitter! This was a first-time experience for my dog Barry with an in-house sitter, and she absolutely spoiled him and went above and beyond to keep him happy. She sent pictures at least once a day with status updates on him, the house, the weather, etc. Communication was great from our first contact until we arrived back home from vacation. This was an overall great experience and I cannot recommend Edi enough!”
“Aubrey was so sweet and professional! She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our baby, so we were kept up to date and it was easier to be away. She followed instructions very well and we will definitely be using her for future trips! 🥰”

Depending on what plans I have for the day I will play and walk my dogs in my free time if they didn’t play outside.

Maddie is AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond in every way…sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter!
We had a great experience with our dog sitter, Kevin! He was incredibly patient with our dog, who can be a bit shy at first. While we were away, she really warmed up to him, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. We’d definitely trust Kevin again and highly recommend his services!
Whitney stayed with our 3 babies, (2 dogs, 1 cat), while we were away for a long weekend. She took excellent care of not only them but of our home. She sent regular updates along with pictures, which provided us with peace of mind knowing our little loves were in such capable and caring hands. When we returned home our babies were healthy, happy, and our home was in good order. From the moment we began chatting with her on Rover, to our meet n greet, Whitney impressed us with her timely communication, promptness, and warm, friendly personality. We are so grateful to Whitney for her care and will definitely use her again!
I contacted Diego as I decided to make a last minute trip. He replied very soon and stayed at home taking care of my dog. Communication was always fluid. He took a very good care of my baby and the house. Sending me pictures periodically. My flight back home got cancelled and I ended up stranded in a foreign country for two extra days. He had no issues to extend his stay, I am very thankful for that. Definitely, he will be my first option to contact next time. Thank you Diego.
