About: With 6 years of hands-on experience working with dogs, I provide more than just pet sitting. My background includes training, walking, and caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities(even medical issues)—from young puppies to senior dogs. I have experience working with behavioral challenges and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive interactions. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m currently focusing more of my time and energy on animal care, which means I have greater availability and flexibility to provide attentive, dependable pet care. With 6 years of experience working with dogs through training, walking, and behavior-focused care, I’m available Monday–Friday from 10 AM–4 PM and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m not currently offering boarding in my own home, but I do provide in-home boarding and overnight care at the client’s residence. I’m active, engaging, and make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, feeding, and attentive care while keeping their routine consistent.

Elizabeth was great. She kept me informed about how my dog was doing and sent pictures regularly. She also took great care of my house, which was appreciated. I had to hire her last minute which can be stressful, but she put us at ease right away.

Christian was excellent! We were leaving for 16 days which is always a bit nerve-wracking, but Christian really eased what could have been a huge burden for us! Christian took great care of our dog, treating her like one of the family. It really was great. I could see in the photos how happy she was. Additionally, Christian was tidy, very responsive, and all around a pleasure to work with. We will definitely hire Christian again!

Sandi was an absolute godsend!! I’ve never left my pups alone with someone in my apartment and she alleviated everything single concern I had! Sent me all the pictures (some of which are truly professional quality) kept me updated and truly loved my dogs like they were her own. She also picked up and cleaned my apartment better than I had left it. I could NOT recommend Sandi more - now words to express how happy I am with everything!

Stephanie was so wonderful with my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures and let me know everything she was doing. It’s so appreciated when you leave your babies at home with someone new. She also left my home probably cleaner than I left it which was very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely use Stephanie again.

Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.

This was my first time using Rover and my first time ever leaving Pete with someone I didn’t personally know, so I was definitely nervous. Emilee immediately made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. I was out of state for 5 days and she sent constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind the entire trip. I just got back and Pete is happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience I would absolutely book with Emilee again and highly recommend her to anyone!

She was very attentive and kept me updated with lots of photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from them. I could tell they were in great hands. I definitely recommend Shirlette to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Daniela! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She came by for a meet and greet, and our dogs, Jack and Gus, immediately loved her—it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. Daniela stayed in our home for six nights and arrived promptly after we left for the airport, giving us immediate peace of mind. She sent daily photos and updates, and it was obvious our dogs were getting plenty of love, attention, and companionship while we were away. Knowing they were so well cared for allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. Daniela is trustworthy, communicative, and went above and beyond caring for our dogs and home. She even watered our little garden as well. We came home to two very happy pups and are so grateful for her. We will absolutely book Daniela again and highly recommend her!

I had to book a sitter for a week long international trip as our usual care fell through. My girl is elderly, on medication and sometimes behaviorally challenging so I was extremely nervous. Delilah was so calm and communicative throughout my entire trip and went the extra mile to ensure Ruby was happy and well taken care of. She even made sure the neighborhood cats and my plants were attended to! Having her ensured I was able to travel worry free, could not recommend her more.

I can't recommend Des enough! She has been caring for my dog, Onyx, for the past six months, and she has been absolutely exceptional every step of the way. She is kind, respectful, incredibly patient, and always treats both Onyx and me with genuine care. She has been consistently reliable, trustworthy, and honest, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever Onyx is with her. It's clear that she truly loves animals, and Onyx is always happy and comfortable with her. She will always be my first choice for pet sitting, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and professional. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Onyx!

She took fantastic care of the dogs and was extremely graceful and responsive when our dog had a health emergency. She left the house even cleaner than she found it. 10/10. Would certainly recommend!

Chloe exudes trustworthiness and competence. She's lovely to interact with, communicative every step of the way, and without a doubt one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. We could not be more grateful for Chloe and her expert handling of a worst-case scenario with our pet, Tulip. Our kitty Tulip had a life-threatening medical event while we were away, and we were so thankful that it was Chloe looking after her. At the first warning sign of Tulip's condition worsening, Chloe contacted us immediately and was prepared to use her good judgment to take her to the vet. She did end up having to take her in, and stayed up through the night keeping us informed with updates, all while balancing the care of our other cat, Lily. Chloe stayed calm and collected and was a source of reassurance throughout this pet parent's worst nightmare. Our sweet Tulip came out the other side okay, thanks to Chloe's quick thinking, her skill working with animals, and her excellent communication. Disaster was averted, and we can't thank her enough for it. If you're looking for someone to trust with your pet, it's Chloe.

Merilyn is the best there is! We had Merilyn sit for our dogs while we traveled out of town for the weekend. Let me paint the picture… Our dogs are velcro dogs and we are their emotional support humans lol so I was a little nervous leaving. Our dachshund can be standoffish around new people and I was nervous he wouldn’t love the idea of someone new. Incomes Merilyn! Our meet and greet was at the beginning of the month and we were set to leave a few weeks later. Merilyn was happy to come back the night before we left one more time before she stayed for the weekend so the dogs could remember her which made me feel so comfortable. Something I appreciated so much was her intuition and ability to read the dogs body language. She very much allowed our dachshund to adjust to her at his own pace. She engaged with him on his terms and before the day was done he was in love with her! While we were away, Merilyn provided us with updates, photos and videos of our dogs frequently without us having to ask her. If I checked in it was because I wanted to, not because I felt like she was MIA. Merilyn was also very flexible with us as our flight home was delayed due to bad weather, she had no issues with extra time and that was a huge stress reliever. When we returned home our dogs were walked, fed and the place was just as we left it. I would recommend Merilyn to anyone who wants someone to love their dogs like they do 🐶🥰 thanks Merilyn!

Jamie was thoughtful and caring with Blue. She asked great questions to ensure we both felt comfortable. This was my first house sitting booking and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Jamie sent me lots of photos and kept me updated. Blue has reactive tendencies that we are training now, and she took to his tools and his patterns well. He still has a long way to go, but knowing Jamie and Blue got along put me at ease. I absolutely would recommend hiring Jamie for all pet sitting needs!
