About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have 3! I have 2 dogs, Bailey and Gomez. Gomez is a special dog who is very reactive, which has allowed me to gain experience dealing with difficult dogs, especially on walks! I’ve been dog sitting/walking for friends and family for years and have worked with all shapes and sizes- loving every single one the same! I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and understand that each dog has its own needs based on their personalities and health. I promise to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve ☺️ I run a small business from home which allows me to have an open schedule for pet care in all varieties. This allows me to have availability to fit your schedule and needs! I will always follow instructions given to me by the pet owner, as each situation is as unique as the individual pet(s). Your fur babies will always be in a safe, caring, patient environment when in my care.
About: I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of love! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the proud mom of four cats and one dog, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, or check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual routines and personalities. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so both you and your pet can feel at ease.

I’d love to meet, care, and love your animals as much as you need. I have many years of experience dog sitting and walking. I am comfortable giving medications to your pets. I hope my services can help you and your pets! I am currently working as a vet tech but have time during lunch hours and evening hours for walks. I am available most weekends for pet sitting as well As a vet tech I know how to read and understand the emotions of your pet. I am comfortable crating and using all leash/ collar types.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. I have a degree in animal behavior, experience working in veterinary clinics, and have been training dogs since 2015. I also have extensive experience with cats and a wide range of other species, including exotics (allowing me to offering in-home boarding for exotic pets). I’m comfortable adapting my care to different temperaments, routines, and needs, whether that’s an energetic pup, a shy cat, or a more specialized pet. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you are away 🖤🐾 Availability varies depending on owner schedules. Send me a message and we can coordinate. My openings are flexible; I offer morning, midday, weekend, and evening check-ins, walks, and training. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure, and I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or sensitive animals. I’m very attentive to safety (secure doors, safe feeding, clean spaces) and always make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience that started back when I was a preteen. Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I learned early on just how much joy and connection animals bring into our lives. One of my favorite memories is teaching my first dog agility—such a fun and rewarding way for us to bond, stay active, and strengthen our communication. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets, from family and friends to new clients who instantly knew I was the right fit for their furry companion. In fact, on three separate occasions, people I met for the first time, told me right away that they could feel I was “the one” to care for their beloved pup. I believe it’s my kind, gentle spirit and open-hearted presence that animals (and their humans) naturally respond to. What sets me apart as a sitter is my genuine love and respect for each animal’s unique personality, along with my experience caring for senior dogs and those with specific needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Since I am currently working from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, loving care for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be present for long-term companionship and to easily accommodate any specific needs your pet may have. Since I only step out for quick errands like grabbing food or attending the occasional workout class, I'm able to regularly let pets out, check in on their wellbeing, and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet enjoys quiet cuddle time, play breaks, or has unique care routines, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, supported, and loved all day long. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets exclusively in their own home, where they’re surrounded by familiar scents, routines, and comforts—this helps minimize stress and makes for a smoother experience overall. You can feel confident knowing your pets and your home are treated with the same level of care and respect I’d give my own.
“Alexa was really great with our dogs. We have a very active puppy who is exhausting and she took the time to understand pup’s energy needs and keep her safely occupied. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have been a dog, cat and all manner of other animals mama for more than 30 years. I believe that our furbabies are family and I treat them as such. I have never met an animal that I didn't love. I look forward to loving your babies the same way that I love mine and giving them as much attention and love as they can handle. I currently work my "real job" from home and can do it anywhere there's an internet connection, so, I am hoping to make a little extra money on the side doing something that I absolutely love which is taking care of animals. I have open availability and can usually accommodate most any need within 24 hours notice and if it's something as simple as a walk that you need on the fly, I can usually accommodate with 4 hours notice. I understand that care looks different for every animal, even ones in the same home and am dedicated to taking care of your fur babies in the exact way you want them to be taken care of.
“It was such a peace of mind knowing my pups were cared for over the weekend while Jenna checked in on them. She sent me pictures and messaged me with any updates. I will definitely book with her in the future!”

“Jamie was a lifesaver after my normal sitter moved out of state. She was prompt and provided me with plenty of updates and pictures of my fur babies. I would highly recommend her if you ever need someone to care for your pets when you are away.”

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 Elma 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.

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.

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.
