About: I absolutely love animals and grew up with dogs as well as have one of my own! I have taken care of friends and families dogs for many years and know it’s tough to find someone you trust with your pet while you’re away! Hoping I can be that someone for you! I work in field sales so have a very flexible schedule. I work from home 2-3 days a week and have a flexible schedule the other days. My fiancé works from home so there is round the clock care for your pup! I have a large fenced yard and walkable neighborhood! I take my dog on 2 walks a day so they will be sure to get plenty of exercise and be worn out by they end of their stay!

“Raquel does a great job with the drop in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's also been flexible when we've had to reschedule and responsive to anything that you need to communicate. We've been using her visits once a week! Thanks for helping curb our pups boredom behaviors! ?”

“We hired Delilah to dogsit, and we organized a meet and greet, which went well. We ended up cancelling our booking due to outside circumstances, but we then rehired Delilah for a different occasion to pay a house visit and let our dogs out. Delilah is great at timely and clear communication. Will hire again.”

“Melissa is the best always. She takes the CUTEST pictures, and the cats really love her. They’re scaredy cats and don’t always love new people but they were quick to warm to Melissa.”


“Stephanie continues to be a reliable, wonderful-to-work with sitter for our cats! When a family emergency came up, she graciously made herself available to check in on them throughout the weekend and was even proactive about adjusting the apartment’s heat so that the cats wouldn’t be cold. As always, thank you for showing Penny and Cyrus such exceptional care!”

Jenny R.
“Our dog is considered a part of the family. Any time Jenny pet sits for us, she treats Nolan as if he were her own. She is great about walking him on leash, maintaining the rules we have for him in the house, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Jenny is our number one choice for dog-sitting even if we just need our dog watched for a few hours or let outside to potty. She is trustworthy and always goes above and beyond to keep our pup safe and happy. I’d recommend her a thousand times over.”


Alex S.

“Alex is great and reliable. He's a great communicator and follows instructions well. We will gladly use his services again in the future.”
East End pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie has been absolutely WONDERFUL and soooooooooo accommodating to my crazy schedule. my pups are not the easiest dogs AT ALL:( theyre very reactive and extremely anxious and scared.She has taken time to let them warm up to her and is willing to continue visits to allow my dogs to warm up to her! Her husband david has also been soooooo helpful in helping me with my reactive/scared/angry pups. KJ (my male pup ) has been a total aggressive anxious pup and hasn’t been kind to stephanie or David :( he bit David😢 even after dealing with kj and being bit david offered to try again. You guys are AMAZING and i want everyone to know if you need a sitter or dog walker stephanie and David are absolutely AMAZING caring peoples!!!!!!! thank you guys!!!!
