About: I've fostered dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing them with a safe, loving environment and daily care. My personal experience as a dog owner, along with my fostering background, has equipped me to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. As a college student with a flexible class schedule and a part-time job just three days a week, I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to pet care. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m able to fit pet care into my routine with ease. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like a chore; it’s a highlight of my day! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort by sticking closely to their usual routines such as feeding, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. On walks, I keep safety first by using secure leashes, avoiding hazards, and paying close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always treat each pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and lots of care, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Heidi was so sweet! Kept us up to date with photos & even made friends with our shy baby who normally runs from strangers. In future event Heidi will be our first choice!”
“Ali was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated the whole time she was watching our babies and home. When we returned home our house was in great condition and our sweet animals were very relaxed and loved. You can tell Ali put her all into taking care of our lovely animals and home, we have 2 dogs, a cat and a gecko! All were very well taken care of. We will definitely be using Ali again for future services, she truly was a blessing for our family having comfort while traveling! Thank you Ali!”

About: I grew up in a house where dogs big and small were always around up until I moved away for college. Family and neighbors would count on me for dog walks, baths, and high energy dog sitting! I love getting a piece of my childhood back by being around dogs. Your peace of mind is my guarantee! I am currently working part time this summer with the university that I attend. Fitting time into my schedule to hangout and care for pets big and small brings me so much joy. I have a great environment of friendly people and hiking trails near by to spend the best quality time with your pets while they’re away from home.
“Excellent! She sent me plenty of photos! Kept me updated constantly and left my house cleaner than when we left it! Would totally recommend her!”
“Samantha was first Rover house/petsitter and any nervousness I had with a stranger living at my home was completely unfounded. My 2 dogs, 14.5 and 6 were well cared for as was the house. Samantha is flexible in accommodating needs which was essential for a senior dog and one with other medical needs. When I returned from a week trip the boys were in high spirits and the house left neat. Would recommend and have Samantha stay again!”
