“If you want someone you can truly trust! I’d 100% recommend Lottie, she was awesome. I was passing through town and needed my puppy watched for the day while I went to some of the museums. Bella came back exhausted and Lottie was super communicative. 10/10000 recommend if you’re coming into town!”
“Heather watched my puppy for a day when I needed someone last minute. She was very flexible and accommodating! She took great care of my puppy and took her on 3 walks.”
About: I've been taking care/helping to take care of dogs since my earliest years. We've had everything from Miniature Dachshunds to Weimaraners to Greyhounds. My step-mom owns Courage Kennels (breeding and showing champion Rhodesian Ridgebacks) in Arizona, so I have some limited experience in training from being around that while growing up. I currently work during the days on Saturdays and Sundays, but during the week I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I get home Sunday evening, so I can generally do pet sitting and boarding from after 6pm Sunday until Friday evenings. I have an area in my backyard that is fenced with a 6ft chain link fence, so they have a safe area to run around outside on occasion. Otherwise, we mostly hang out in the house while I do my work-from-home job duties, or go on walks if the weather is nice enough for it.

With a deep love for animals and experience handling pets of all ages, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where they feel at home. As I'm in my last semester of school with a light course load, I have plenty of free time and love spending it with animals. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my routine, allowing me to give them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or a client’s. In my home, I create a comfortable, safe, and engaging environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to ensure a smooth transition, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship while keeping them comfortable in their familiar space.

11. Sage K.
“I recommend Sage to be a caregiver for pets on Rover.com. She would and always will provide a safe and loving environment for anyone, if it’s pets or people. Sage has a deep love for animals as she has raised and cared for many throughout her life. She’s gentle, loving, reliable, and kind with anyone and anything, especially animals. Sage goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, creating a sense of trust and warmth in everything she does. Sage and I grew up together in a small town where we would hangout multiple days a week. She would come over and play with my pets, always being kind and gentle. I strongly recommend Sage to be a pet caregiver.”
