About: Let our home be their home away from home!!! Dog lover since my 1st puppy at 3yo and now passing that down to my 2 boys that love to help me care for our dogs and the ones that come to stay with us. I pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends growing up and still do to this day. My 1st real job was taking care of the animals being boarded at a vet clinic when I was 14yo. I joke and say my first job was a professional pooper scooper. Here I would feed and medicate dogs as needed. Other aspects of the job included dog walking, cleaning kennels and runs, loving on them and playing. I have fostered for extended periods of time for people to help with different circumstances until they could take their dogs back. This helped to save these dogs from having to be rehomed. I will help keep pets with good families in any way that I can. I have also had experience in dogs with special needs. I cared for my own dog, Bubba, with Megaesophagus from 8wks old until he passed at 8yo due to complications of his illness. His care included preparing his food in a blender and special feeding accomodations in a Bailey's chair daily, numerous medications, nebulizer treatments, injections, and standing upright after drinking and special maneuvers to help keep his lungs clear whenever he would aspirate. Adjusted many aspects of my life and my dog's for him to thrive and live as long as he did. My current fur babies are Chaos (Lab /Mastiff), Mayhem (Bully/Pit) and Pippa (Beagle/Bassett). I love all dogs as if they were my own. I have cared for and owned dogs of various breeds and sizes. I rescued a highly anxious and fearful dog when she was 2yo so I have experience with patience and building trust. Walking, feeding, play, medication administration can all be done. Let me know any special thing that your dog needs and I will take care of it as long as I'm able and if I'm not I will be straight forward with you. I will strive to send you at least 1 update and picture daily while in my care unless you would like more. I work from home so I'm always available days, nights and weekends if your pup is staying at my home. My schedule is very flexible. Willing to do walks no matter what the weather may be. If you need me to come to your house I am available throughout the day. I can be available with notice and if you don't mind my one son tagging along with me if you need help outside my home in the evenings. I too have experience with many other animals as pets (we referred to my house as "The Zoo" growing up) or sitting for family and friends when on vacation. I have experience with cats, mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, small lizards, frogs, turtles, snakes, and birds. Sorry I will not help with your pet tarantula. Our home has a 6ft fenced backyard with locks always on the gates. Also a good size neighborhood to take your pooch on walks. My 2 young boys also love to help with caring for our own pups with my help, don't worry they won't be the ones walking your dog. If I am coming into your home I will respect your property and privacy. Your house your rules! I have experience with giving medications, shots, and nebulizer treatments as well as wound care for dogs. Any special considerations/needs for your furry family member I am happy to follow.
About: I’m a country girl that loves animals! Ever since I was a child I enjoyed helping and caring for pets. I volunteered at a local animal shelter where I learned how to properly care for a variety of cats and dogs of all sizes I have a kitten and a 1 year old dog and hamster so you can imagine how exciting the house gets throughout the day. I’m always learning and growing with these guys and always learning new routines In my home I give each animal their separate attention. I make sure they have the proper food and exercise so that they can live a happy and healthy life

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewood
Serena was amazing. She stopped by 3 times a day to take care of my 2 dogs and 3 cats. I even had one dog that needed to take some medication while we were gone and she had no problem doing that. She sent pictures of the animals every day and kept me updated about everything. We were worried about leaving the dogs alone for so long but I'm so happy we had Serena there to take care of them and love them.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Edgewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Edgewood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Edgewood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
