“My wife and I felt very confident in booking one of Rover’s highest rated sitters in our area, and we couldn’t be more satisfied. Haley is quick with communication and flexible with her schedule. If you need a sitter who is attentive and cares, don’t look any further than Haley!”


“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child—dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. Today, I’m the proud owner of three dogs and two cats, including senior pups I’ve raised since they were puppies (now 13 and 8 years old). This lifelong experience has taught me how to meet the needs of pets at every stage of life with patience, love, and responsibility. Desde pequeña he estado rodeada de mascotas; los perros y gatos siempre han sido parte de mi vida. Actualmente tengo tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo dos perritos mayores que crié desde cachorros (hoy tienen 13 y 8 años). Con los años he aprendido a cuidar a las mascotas en cada etapa de su vida, siempre con paciencia, cariño y responsabilidad. I work as a night-shift nurse, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets during the day. After a night of helping people, I find peace and joy spending time with animals—whether it’s walking dogs, feeding them, or simply giving them company. I care for my own three dogs and two cats, including seniors I’ve raised since they were puppies. Pet care is part of my everyday life, and I’d love to help you care for yours too. Trabajo como enfermera en el turno de noche, lo que me da la flexibilidad para cuidar mascotas durante el día. Después de una noche ayudando a personas, encuentro paz y alegría pasando tiempo con los animales, ya sea paseando perros, alimentándolos o simplemente haciéndoles compañía. Cuido de mis tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo perritos mayores que he criado desde cachorros. El cuidado de mascotas es parte de mi vida diaria, y me encantaría ayudarte a cuidar a las tuyas también. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting a client’s home or caring for pets in mine, I always create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets stay safe—whether on walks, during feedings, or while playing. I treat every pet like part of my own family, with respect for their space and your home. La seguridad y la confianza son mis prioridades. Ya sea que visite el hogar de un cliente o cuide mascotas en el mío, siempre creo un ambiente tranquilo y seguro donde las mascotas se sientan cómodas. Sigo todas las instrucciones con cuidado, mantengo las rutinas consistentes y me aseguro de que las mascotas estén seguras, ya sea durante los paseos, las comidas o el tiempo de juego. Trato a cada mascota como parte de mi familia, respetando su espacio y el de tu hogar.

“Hirono is an absolute rock star and we are so happy we found her to check in on our cat for us when we are away for several days at a time. You can tell she is a true cat lover. She is super dependable, easy to work with, remembers things well, and we LOVE that she always sends us several pictures and an update when she comes to visit our cat. We have a super shy cat, yet he warmed up to her very quickly, so she has been a perfect fit for what we needed. She will continue to be our first call when we need someone to care for our cat. Thanks for everything, Hirono!”


“She is the best! My dog loves her and she is super sweet. I highly recommend her. She is also great at being on time and communicating with you by sending pictures of your fur baby.”


“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”


About: As a young child in kindergarten , I told my mother I wanted to become a “dog catcher”. I have no idea what that is but I know I have always had a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own. I have always had dogs around me growing up so i have a lot of experience on caring for them. I work from home full time . My working days are M-W & then on Saturday. I’ll have plenty of time to watch your pets I have a fenced yard and I also have a little yorkie chihuahua mixed dog that lives with me and gets along well with other animals.

“Courtney was awesome! She stepped up when my original sitter canceled due to sickness. Courtney was amazing with my two dogs and they loved her. Very professional and loved my dogs as if they were her own. She's very courteous, on point, and amazing. Thank you so much!”


“Anna is very friendly, had great communication, and sent pictures! She is very clearly experienced and had awesome availability around the holiday. Will definitely be booking again.”


“Would highly recommend. She was understanding, patient when I became sick and needed to be flexible. I believe she was fair and honest. I will definitely use her again in the future.”


About: Hi there! I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic pups and cuddly cats to chatty parakeets and even a hedgehog or two! I’ve personally cared for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 parakeets, providing each with a loving, attentive home. Over the years, I’ve also looked after countless pets for friends and family, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or something in between, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I specialize in multi-pet households and understand how to balance different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime in the yard, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure each one feels safe, seen, and loved. With me, your pets get a caregiver who’s full of positive energy, patience, and a whole lot of heart. As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a large portion of my day to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need to feel happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them like family. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide the most comfortable and familiar environment possible. In the client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and your pet’s usual schedule, whether that means feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time with them. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your pets), and make sure everything is just as you left it.

About: I absolutely love All dogs. Completely comfortable will ALL sizes and breeds! Ive had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have a fenced in yard in a lovely neighborhood. I have rasied large medium and small dogs so i have experience with many diffrent breeds. Having that experience also has allowed me to work with non neutered/spayed and neutered/spayed. I hate to say it but animals can get in altercations and I have no problem stepping in and seperating the animals. Their safety comes first. I am well versed with fur babies that have separation anxiety and have had quite a few come for day care so I could help with their separation anxiety and ease them of it as well!

My schedule is wide open and flexible with the exception of my sons school schedule for drop offs and pick ups and the occasional grocery store run! I'm able to exercise, play with, love, and help train your fur baby as needed. I have a fenced in yard and an oped laid out home. Since I am a stay at home mom I can care for your baby on their own schedule! If they need walks or socialization and even if they need help with their separation or social anxiety im your gal!

I play with, cuddle, walk and feed pups on their schedule in my home and other homes! I'm respectful of my clients homes and make sure to follow their directions when visiting their pups in their homes. When my clients leave their pups in my care at my hose I make sure to make their dogs feel comfortable and safe in my home!
