“ALyssa is the greatest! She took care of my pet tortoise and she even went out and got food when I was away. Lastly, when I came down with Covid she offered to help go grocery shopping or pick up meds for me. What a great person and not just a pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have.

About: Hi, I’m new-ish to Rover and I’m so excited to have the chance to be a care sitter for your furry boy/girl! I’ve been raised around dogs from a variety of breeds since I was 10 years old when I got my very first dog, a miniature Schnauzer named Tank. My dad made it very clear that if I wanted a dog, the responsibility would be mine, and so from that age I learned how to care for him myself—feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure he was happy and well cared for. Since then, caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand what our furry friends need for each stage of their life and their quirky qualities🐾 I have 2 large breed working/guard dogs and raised them how to sit, stay, down, drop it, and come as far as basic commands go, if there’s anything your pet needs considering training needs I’m eager to know and learn about them 😁 Either way, I love all dogs no matter the background, my focus is that they are cared and loved as if they were at home! I’m work from home—pet care fits right in my schedule since I’m home all day and am available to walk, feed, water, and train them as needed and on my breaks! I’m adaptable and fully flexible to your pets schedule, needs, and routine. I have medium and large sized crates as well as a 1200sq ft backyard fenced off if they want to get active any time of the day! If you have any toys for your furry friends to fetch or to chew bring them along!🐾 I am also within 5 min of the dog park and love taking my dogs to stretch their legs, so walks are with purpose and reward always! Please let me know if there are any accommodations I can provide and make for your pup and I’m happy to be of service. My upmost priority is to ensure your pup is having a comfortable, relaxing stay and is nurtured all the way through.

“James is a fantastic, prompt and effective sitter! We have an 18 year old blind & deaf cat who requires a lot of affection and attention since he’s a little lost in space these days. James gave Tippy a routine every morning & evening and he was always on time & on top of everything we asked for which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t been able to travel since Tips needs more care but now that we found James we can and are so grateful. Thanks so much, James; we will be in touch about future trips. Tippy misses you already!! 😹”

About: NOTICE AVAILABILITY HAS CHANGED (Fully available on Thursdays and Fridays, Saturday-Wednesday only available after 2pm due to work schedule. Apologies for the inconveniences) I’m still quite new to this but I have a few munchkins of my own to know how to handle them. I’ve done some pet sitting when I was younger and found it to be a lot of fun. I want to be more active so walking your pets is perfect for us both! I’ve lived with animals my whole life so I have so much compassion for them. I have a lot of patience and love for them all. I would love for you to have trust in me to do my best for your pet. I know I have little experience but a lifetime of caring for animals; big and small. I am currently a part time server so my schedule is always changing, I mostly work nights most days. The days i’m off and available I’ll be able to be around as many hours as needed. Weekends are unsure depending on my schedule, if anything I’d be available in the mornings and late nights. I unfortunately can’t board any pets at my home. My own pets are all inside pet’s except my dogs of course, my dogs have a fenced in backyard and go on daily walks themselves. My pups are 4 years old but aren’t fully socialized to other dogs so I wouldn’t feel 100% safe to board pets at the moment. I also have cats, they are my personal favorite, all whom I’ve had for many years. What can I say i’m a animal person. I have a few exotic pets; a snake and two geckos who stay in cages!
About: I can’t remember when I haven’t been around dogs. Pets are like the companions and will always be apart of my family no matter how old they get. I work full time. I would always find time to take care of a pet no matter the type, as long as they like me. My yard is fenced in. I have a privacy fence so other dogs can’t see them. My dogs are mainly people lovers so my dogs would be separated majority of the time.
“Briana is wonderful with my fur babies! She’s always caring and thoughtful. It’s easy to see from the photos that they love spending time with her! I would highly recommend her!”

“We had set up a 30 minute meet and greet. He arrived on time.we sat and chatted. Romeo got up On the couch and laid beside him. He liked Kevin’s arm. We took a stroll in our community dog park. I think he was surprised by the degree of Romeo’s fear aggression . There were three little dogs that showed up with their owner off leash and were not obeying commands. We simply held on and walk out of the park.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life and have a husky of my own who is my world. I also go around town and feed homeless dogs as well.

Mia is wonderful with my dogs. She watched them tonight while I had a meeting and sent me a picture of each one, which meant so much and showed me how happy they were. One of the pictures was especially adorable — she was holding one while the other looked up at her from the ground. She’s always reliable, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her!

Angelica took such great care of our Daisy. This was our first time using Rover, so I wasn’t sure about how any of it worked. Angelica has a calm & kind manner that even our skittish 3 year old rescue warmed up to. Angelica’s visits made it possible for us to meet up with family during the day and be home with Daisy at the end of our day. Thanks so much Angelica!
