About: I have raised several fantastic and loveable pets from months after birth and kept them alive and thriving! I love giving them proper attention and fun while ensuring rules and safety are adhered to! I currently spend every day at home taking care of my own pets and ensuring they are in a loving and safe environment. I also don't go out a whole lot or for long periods of time so there I always get to spend time loving my pets! I have a fenced backyard for outside play time and space for indoor eating and relax time as well. I also have plenty of snacks (if allowed), toys, and other pet goodies!
About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!
“We loved having Nahima care for Jasper. She was great at communicating with me about Jasper and was flexible with pick and drop off times. Jasper came back so happy! We’d be thrilled to have Nahima care for Jasper again!”

“Chris was great with Mochi! She enjoyed being there and the company of his dogs. Chris sent frequent updates and even asked if Mochi will have issues with him using the vacuum before doing so. Overall great experience.”
“Deanna was friendly and caring, sent pics and video of our little guy. He seemed to have a good day hanging with her and her dogs. Her dogs are sweet and playful. Will definitely be back!”

About: I have cared for my dogs and cats and my neighbors pets since I was a child. I value providing a calm environment and an enriching experience. I am conscientious and detail oriented and intend to provide a retreat like stay for your dog; putting you at ease and returning them happy and tired! I work from home and am easily able to schedule feedings, walks, playtime, and medicine as needed. I prefer to be home even when not working so will provide almost constant care and attention for your dog. I have a large, private, fenced in yard; I often leave the back door open so dogs can come and go as they please when I am home. I value clear communication and will provide consistent updates. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone else to care for a beloved pet and I take the responsibility seriously. I will treat your pet and home with care and respect.
“Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!”

About: Hi!! My name is Emily and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by so many pets and have a few of my own now which I love with my whole heart! Would do anything for them, as I know you would for your fur babies too!! Trusting someone with your pet(s) is a big deal, especially if it’s your first time being apart - I get it! I’d love to be able to help ease any worries or concerns by making sure they have the best time and get all the love they need while you’re away. I love sharing as many updates / photos during my stays/visits, as I would hope a sitter would do for me, too. 🥰 I have been pet sitting as well as house sitting / babysitting & professional nannying for years! I figured it would be so great to broaden my portfolio and create a rover profile to connect with more families and pets in the area. 😊 I do work full time, but work remotely with a very flexible schedule! I am currently wanting to add side gigs to help pay for my upcoming wedding in 2026. 🥰 I try and keep my availability updated daily! Please send me a message with any questions. A teeny bit make about my background with pets - I can administer medications, am great with senior dogs, high energy pups, special needs assistance and puppy training. Great with walks and play time as well! Absolutely love all the snuggles too. A bit about rover - Rover will collect about 20% of my listed rate per each booking, as well as the 8% service charge you are charged through the platform. Ask me about my rover discount, and about returning customer rates too! ❤️ I work from home so am very flexible with my schedule. I can overnight sit as well as house dogs in my home without needing to leave them unattended! They’ll always have someone to snuggle. I’m flexible with daytime / evening drop ins as well. I can care both in and out of my home. Whichever you prefer. We have a large fenced in yard and a lovely screened porch too!

Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!

Nelly loved Allison! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girl. Made my workday much smoother knowing she was in such good hands. Nelly was worn out and slept all the way home. Will definitely be recommending her and requesting her again ☺️

Kristen was extremely flexible last minute but my schedule changed again and did not end up needing the service. Despite the inconvenience to her, she was very professional. I would highly recommend her to others simply for her communication and professionalism.

Lydie was absolutely amazing. Lydie's warm, engaging personality and her deep knowledge of dogs made for a wonderful stay. Betty's pictures told the story, she enjoyed her time completely. Everything went perfectly and Lydie accommodated our schedule. Thank you again.
