About: Hi, I'm Shelby! Since I was little, dogs have always been apart of my life. I have always had large breed dogs and have experience with small dogs as well. Right now I have a Cane Corso/Mastiff mix named Diamond & a Boston Terrier named Lawrence. Dogs have always taken a liking to me as I have to them as well, they have always had a special place in my heart. In the past, I have made many visits to the humane society for visits with dogs that have been there a while to give them some joy & exercise. I have a wide range of skills for dealing with different temperaments whether your dog may be big or small, and given the opportunity, I would love to give them the most love and care there is to give! Currently I do work some days of the week but I am able to be very flexible with my time still & adhere to any of you and your pets needs! I am able to work with your schedule and needs whether it may be drop in visits, walks, or house sitting. Whatever is needed for you & your pet! :) I have the knowledge & skills to give your pet a safe & trusted visit along with safe walks with proper attention given always. You can always trust your pet will be in safe hands with me! I am committed to giving your pet the safest and most compassionate care, that is a guarantee!

“Rosalie watched our 4 (yes, 4!) rescue dogs for the entire night while we were out of town. This was our first time having someone other than family watch our dogs - even just for a day visit. She was very communicative and help keep my anxiety at ease. The dogs were excited to see her when she arrived which is always nice. A note was left too to tell me about the night, on top of the texts, which is appreciated! We plan on using Rosalie for day visits again and when we go on longer vacations!”


“Second time using Walter and he was just as good as the first time! Very thankful we found a trustworthy person to watch our house and our pups while we’re away. :)”


“Vanessa took good care of our pets and home while we were away. She went out of her way to accommodate a last minute change which we appreciated very much. We will definitely give Vanessa a call next time!🙂”

About: Need a reliable pet sitter? Look no further! Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. The reason why I joined Rover is because I love everything about dogs, and I just want to be around them all the time lol. They’re such a blessing!!!😅🫶🏾 Growing up I’ve always had a pet. From guinea pigs to hamsters, cats and dogs. My love for animals certainly grew into adulthood. Which is why I’m here☺️☺️ Join me as I offer responsible, dedicated, and trustworthy pet sitting services tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Also, poopy bags, and toys are on me! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. One thing about me is that, I’m very easy going and laid back. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m willing to do all that it takes to keep you and your dog happy. I’m available Mondays to Saturday from 7:00am to 8:00pm. I like to keep active, so keeping your dog busy and satisfied won’t be an issue. And most importantly, I promise to bring your dog back happy and tired everytime😊👌🏾. A bag of bouncy balls and some treats should keep’m happy and busy for a while. Not to mention the endless belly rubs and hugs

About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

“Felipe was communicative, patient and kind with Tyson. From the meet and greet up until the end of the stay he had my dog’s best interest in mind. Would definitely recommend Felipe!”


About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

“All the girls loved Avery!! He stayed at our home as all our fur kids are of an age and don't go to kennels anymore. Our dog, Shadow, got to enjoy extra walks and became more energetic for an older gal. Avery was excellent though at ensuring that she didn’t over do it. As for the kitties in the group - Poppy is usually standoffish but she enjoyed cuddling and being with Avery while he worked from our home. My husband’s cat came up to Avery the first time he came over for a meet and greet which NEVER happens - he’s the cat whisperer we think. Avery had to give our dog meds each evening and the one cat also. He had it down pat. All our pets have some issues but he rolled with it and wasn’t fazed. All communications with Avery were handled extremely well and the initial meet and greet was fabulous- he even came over briefly a second time to do a walk with our dog to ensure she was comfortable. We highly recommend Avery and will certainly book him again!! He gets full paws 🐾 up from the gang.”


“We were both thrilled and fortunate to leave our wheaten terriers, Naya and Ruckus, as well as our home in Tracey's care for two weeks. Tracey is an excellent communicator, very compassionate, and detail-oriented. Our confidence in Tracey's management in our absence was rewarded many times over.”


“Lauryn stayed at our home to look after our dog Molly for a long weekend. As a rescue, Molly has a few issues but right from the Meet and Greet, we could see that she was happy and comfortable with Lauryn. Lauryn was confident dealing with some reactivity on walks and even braved the snowy weather! We received regular updates with photos and came home to a happy dog and spotless home. Even the sheets had been washed and the bed remade. We have already booked Lauryn for our next trip.”


“Janelle stayed with our 2 dogs overnight. They both have health issues so the list I left for her was quite in depth. She followed out instructions perfectly without issue. My dogs also have some reactivity issues. She was willing to take this on and did a great job with them. Thank you Janelle! We were very pleased with your services!”


“Lisa is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pup Henry and treated him like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in loving and capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best for their fur babies!”

About: I've had pets my whole life and connecting with animals comes naturally to me.
