About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities! I am the proud owner of Show Sparkles Mobile Pet Grooming, and I am also actively involved in the world of AKC dog showing, breeding, and professional handling. Dogs aren’t just a hobby for me—they’re my passion, my career, and a huge part of my everyday life! Through years of grooming, breeding, raising puppies, and showing dogs professionally, I’ve developed a strong understanding of canine behavior, handling, and individualized care. I’m comfortable working with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I have extensive hands-on experience with puppy development, basic manners, crate training, leash skills, grooming desensitization, socialization, and confidence building. I also understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing a safe, comfortable environment. My professional grooming background is another added benefit! I’m experienced in coat maintenance, brushing, handling sensitive pets, and recognizing changes in a dog’s skin, coat, ears, or overall condition. Whether your pet is a beloved family companion, a young puppy learning the ropes, or a pampered show dog, I provide the same level of patience, dedication, and attention to detail that I give my own dogs. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter—you’re choosing an experienced canine professional who will treat your pet like family! 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I work with animals regularly through grooming, showing, and caring for my own dogs, so feeding, potty breaks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and one-on-one attention are built into my day. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets in my care and make sure they receive plenty of attention rather than simply being checked on between other commitments. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, feeding according to their normal schedule, playtime, exercise, and a clean, comfortable environment. I can accommodate crates and other routines they are accustomed to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, medications when instructed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care requests. I also make sure their space stays clean and secure. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Joanna and her husband are great with my Gus. He’s 4 months old and he loves getting picked up for his walks. He’s getting lots of energy out when he’s with them. They’re on time and communicate if they’re going to be late for any reason. 10/10 they’re great.”
About: Hi there! I’m Riley, and I’ve grown up with cats, so I’ve always had a special bond with them. Over the years, I’ve fostered litters of kittens and gained valuable experience caring for them until they find their forever homes. In addition to that, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean kennels, provide care, and spend quality time interacting with the cats. I’m comfortable with all types of cats, from playful kittens to more independent adult cats. Additionally, I have experience walking dogs and have my own puppy, Milo! I’m dedicated to giving your pet the care and attention they need while you're away. I look forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe in your absence! I’m currently working a job Monday through Thursday aside from cat sitting. I do most of my visits later in the day after work. I may not be the best fit if you’re looking for two visits a day but you are always more than welcome to reach out - I can let you know if I’m available for your specific days! I have taken care of cats of varieties of ages and personalities for years. I’ve had experience ensuing the well-being of both my own cats and ones at the shelter. I make sure to keep them active and provide comfort while you’re away!
About: Growing up, I’ve always had animals, Whether that be Grumpy and feisty cats, too massive dogs that could drag me anywhere, Regardless of their cons, I have always had a love for them. I currently have seven dogs of my own, from little dogs to big. I also have three cats ranging from shy and Weary, To bold and grumpy. My American pocket bully has allergies so I have experience with loose diets, and not so loose diets. I have experience with senior animals, And any accommodations that are needed for them (medicine, help getting on/off of a verity of things, help getting outside on time, etc.) I have experience with reactive dogs, Particularly dog reactive dogs, Or animal reactive dogs. I am good with keeping dog reactive, dogs, calm, and distracted while passing another dog on walks Or avoiding the Situation entirely. I also pride myself on working with you, whether you need multiple meet ups with your animal to get comfortable with me, giving you constant updates if needed, and even my pricing! Though I know this isn’t provided on rover itself I can also care for other animals such as chickens! (I mostly book outside of here) I am currently unemployed, So I have all the time in the world to give every pet attention! More walks and playtime for Your pets! Me having 10 animals of my own has me constantly working with animals, feeding, bathing, playing, everything. Having so many animals gives me the constant refresher on my skills. I care for pets in my home just as I would a human. In my opinion, pets are family not just animals. I make sure that all of the pets requirements are met, And on top of that, I add extra things, (spoil them if you will!)

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Ephrata. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ephrata after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
