About: Hi- I'm Rikki & Pearl is my adorable, furry shadow. Since delivering her eight puppies, I knew I had found my calling of caring for animals. I pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling squeaky clean and Zen. I’m also dog CPR certified so if tails stop wagging, I’m the lifesaver ready to jump in with treats, belly rubs, and superpowers. I also have extensive experience in senior dog care, ensuring that older pups receive the extra love, attention, and specialized care they deserve. Our home, Pearl's Palace, is like an animal "spa" surrounded by a welcoming community of pet-loving neighbors. With round the clock attention and care, we hope you and your pets find our home as comfortable as we do. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, Pearl makes a great secretary! From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled. I have a tall privacy fence and a Great Dane to keep your pets company. Walks are regular and so is meeting new dog friends. Instructions for in-home care are followed as specified below. *Now Available* LIVE feed to owners so you can talk to them and check in!

About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.

About: I have pets of my own and have been pet sitting for over four years. I would love the opportunity to come visit your dog during the day. From the tiniest little pup to the largest or oldest pup I love take care of them. I cant wait to meet your furry friends and take care of them like they are my own. I am currently working part time so some weekdays I will not be available until after 4. Most weekdays( when im not working)I will be available anytime during the day. I am available on weekends as well. I will always leash pets on walks and do my best to ensure their visits or walks are fun and safe for your fur babies.

About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky butt, stinky breath, so ugly that they’re cute, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.

“Thank you for taking Eileen for a walk. I know it was very hot and I appreciate the care you took with her!! The break in a long day while I’m at work helps.”

About: Active military family who loves animals and doing activities with animals! We have 2 dogs who love other animals :) My wife works from home, and we do not have kids. One of us works from home, so we are usually at home with the dogs most of the day and our weekends are usually very flexible! We have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. We can easily crate dogs if need be. We like to take daily walks!

“Kimberly is great with Kitchi. He absolutely adores her!”

“Max is wonderful! My energetic pup loved him , and he was needed after I had foot surgery and couldn’t walk the dog. I was home when Max came and went with my pup; he let me know each day when he was on his way, which was helpful. He was on time and reliable. I would definitely hire Max again. Thank you!”

About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. During college, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant as a part-time job and have always pet sit. I have a lot of free time during this stage of my life and my work is extremely flexible. I would love to take care of your animals while you're away! I have my own small online business so my schedules are flexible and I have a lot of free time! I'm available 7 days a week and can arrange to pet sit with short (one day) notice :) I have half an acre of wooden fenced back yard and a large 20' by 20' composite deck that was built just last year. I will take lots of pictures and I am happy to take care of puppies too. I have taken the Cat and Dog First Aid course offered by American Red Cross so I understand the basics of providing first aid care for your cat or dog, as well as how to care for them in most common emergency situations.

“Tiffany is amazing! She goes above and beyond. This is truly her passion. She loves what she do and it shows. This is my third time using Rover and she is the best one we booked for our Buddy. Tiffany, I hope you are available whenever me and my family decides to travel.”
