“Jessica was very kind to walk my dogs when I hurt my foot! She’s flexible and a great communicator, and my boys were happy and tired after their walk with her. Would definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I’m a new Rover sitter and excited to begin this journey. I used to have two loyal dogs who were my constant companions, and they taught me so much—especially about enjoying the outdoors. Sadly, I lost one of them recently, but both continue to inspire the way I care for animals. I’d be happy to take your furry friend on walks, adventures, or just give them the energy outlet they need. I believe strong communication with pet owners is key, especially if any issues come up. I can't wait to meet your pets and give them the love and care they deserve! “I structure my days around the pets in my care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding and playtime, I plan my routine to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need.” “When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on consistency and comfort. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I always make sure pets feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I also keep things tidy and keep in touch with you through regular updates.
About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.
“This was Dolla’s first time using the service and Zulema was nice and very patient with Dolla and made her feel comfortable. I will be using her services again.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pet caretaker, with tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, multiple breeds, puppies, and senior dogs! I was born and raised in Illinois, where I grew up as a caretaker for multiple cats and a German Shepard/Newfoundland mix named Henry, who I helped take care of with my family. I took care of my family’s chihuahua and acclimated him to a new environment. I have taken care of dogs and cats with plenty of unique situations who needed extra love! I moved to Las Vegas in 2016, and I am currently the co owner of 3 rescue pups, who require plenty of love, walks, and playtime. I adopted my dog Zeyda when she was 12 weeks old, and I worked with her a lot using positive reinforcement and attended training with her to help her gain confidence, learn basic life skills and tricks, and walk on a loose leash. I love helping pets and making them happy, giving each one the unique love and care that it needs. I am off during the summer (until August 1st) so I have very open availability! During the rest of the year I work full time, so I am typically available on weekends as well as evenings during the week. I may be available during the week around holidays as well.

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a child. I think they respond well to me because I love connecting with them and giving them attention. Growing up I myself had a golden retriever named Max that me and my family cared for up until his death a few years ago. Being able to gain the trust and become close to an animal is such a special thing. Since then however I’ve sat for friends, family, as well as through online services like this one. Animals deserve quality care and I’m happy to be the one to provide that :) I work part time, my shifts are usually 5-6 hours so I have plenty of time to be with the animal as needed I also only work 3-4 times a week usually. I’m happy to meet any needs a client may need. I myself personally would feed the dog, take him out to pee and for a nice walk. If the weather permits I’d take him out to play but if not I’d still make sure to spend some time with him inside. Plenty of pets and cuddles aswell.

“I love Daveenah! I met her from the vet that she worked at that I used to bring my cat and dog to. She brought up how she also does in-home care and walks and I've been using her services regularly. I have a 68lb Golden and a DSH and they both love her...maybe more than me. After walks, my dog comes back nice and tired, and having gone potty. My cat also gets fed and played with which tires her out too. I feel safe knowing that my pets are with someone who is kind, experienced, and loves my pets like I do. I promise that going with Daveenah will be a great choice. Highly recommend.”
