About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and sitter is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for. I treat each visit not just as a service, but as quality time with a furry buddy who deserves love, attention, and fun. With a calm, patient energy and years of hands on experience, I specialize in caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels including senior puppies. I work a part time job at a lash studio, I work a lot of nights but my schedule is pretty flexible most of the time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a very pet friendly apartment with plenty of space for lounging, playing, and relaxing. One of the best things is the big dog park downstairs, it's a perfect place for dogs to run and play,I take regular trips there with my own dog. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible. Mealtimes, walks, medication, and play are all handled with care and consistency.
“Cristal took great care of our two cats while we were away. She’s consistent and compassionate, and we particularly liked the level of detail she included in the check-in cards. She clearly has a lot of experience with and love for animals!”
“Mia takes such loving care of my shy kitten and her family, all outdoor stray kitties. Sometimes they were on the front porch, and other times they liked the back patio. Mia took time to find the kitties each visit while I was away for a few days. She was so attentive and sweet to my kitty family. She helped them feel comfortable with her reliable visits.”

First Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan is amazing! My first time using rover for my dogs and I was a bit nervous. I messaged Jordan and we met up for her to meet the dogs and right away I could tell she genuinely loves animals. Throughout the care she sent so many videos and pictures which helped me not feel anxious about me being away from my babies. I’ll definitely book with her again!
This was my first time using Rover, and I am so happy with the turn out. Lynn suggested doing a test run since Ash can be a little nervous, which I really appreciated as they got to meet before I had to go on my trip. It worked out perfectly and by the end, Ash was so comfortable that he was sitting next to her and even showing off his tricks. Knowing he was being fed, checked on, and cared for with so much patience and attention gave me real peace of mind. What a great experience.
Eric was an amazing sitter! He was reliable, great with communication, and sent the best pics of my kitties. When he went to drop off the keys, my cats ran up to him, so I definitely think they approve of him lol! I would recommend going with Eric, and I plan to use him again in the future.
Mia did an awesome job taking care of my dog over the weekend! Mia provided regular updates throughout the weekend and I could tell he was in very good hands from all of the photo updates. Mia even provide Wendell with a special bag of homemade dog treats at the end of the weekend. I will definitely be requesting to book her services again in the future!
Alexander was fantastic! He came over promptly for each drop-in and followed all directions perfectly. He let us know anytime there was a new development with our cat and gave plenty of attention and playtime for them while we were away. He took pictures of all the areas we asked him to watch for to keep us updated along the way. We're absolutely planning on having him watch our cat again in the future.
