“Shayna was outstanding! She was very professional, friendly, timely, responsive, organized, transparent, and flexible. I just can't speak highly enough of her! We never worried about our 3 pups, one of who has high anxiety. Shayna sent us pictures and provided updates as needed. We will definitely be rebooking with Shayna and recommending her to everyone who needs high quality care for their pets and peace of their mind for themselves!”
“Grace was amazing! While we were gone she kept in communicate with us and sent pictures. When we returned home the dogs were happy and content. I highly recommend Grace for sitting with your babies.”
“Kaylie was awesome when watching our house and pups. We have 4 animals that all require a bunch of attention, including daily medication. She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures throughout the day which eased our anxiety of leaving the state.”
About: Hi :) Nice to meet you! My name is Elthonia/El and I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I have many years of animal care experience but I have been a pet sitter on Rover for about 3.5 years and I really enjoy what I do! I don't just have experience with cats and dogs, I also have experience with chickens, ducks, goats and even cows! I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My goal is simple, it is to make your baby feel safe, happy, and completely loved while you’re away. I understand that dogs thrive on routine, attention, and good company so I try to personalize every visit to your pup’s personality. Whether they’re high-energy explorers or gentle cuddlers, I make sure they get the time and care they deserve. if you choose me as your pet sitter you will not be disappointed! I like to go above and beyond for my clients in order to make your time away from your loved one as stress-less as possible. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and, Saturdays from 6:00am-1:30pm. If you let me know ahead of time, I am able to move around my schedule for you :). I live on three acres of fenced in farm land, we have chickens, ducks and 3 dogs of our own that we care for. Your pup will have plenty of room to run and play.
“Tabatha was great! She house sat while we were out of town and took great care of all three of our dogs. We had to extend our trip a night and she extended her stay. We would love for her to watch for us again!”
“Khloe is great! We left our senior dog with her for a week. We were cruising so communication was tricky. She made all kinds of extra efforts to stay in contact and that meant so much. Our pup had a few mishaps and she handled everything calmly and kept us posted every step of the way. We are super happy with her care.”
“Denise is very attentive to details, our 3 dogs were so relaxed and happy while she was at our house. We received a lot of pictures from of our kids, she responded to our texts very quickly. We already booked our next stay with the kids. Thank you Denise for take a such good care of the dogs and the house.”
About: I would describe myself as loving, reliable, and attentive.. I am experienced with all pet types, including seniors and special needs. Your pet will get personalized care, play, and constant updates from me. Pet care is a natural part of my own daily routine as I have my own dog & will ensure I plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins to ensure your pets get consistent, loving attention. In my client’s home, I don’t want to change your pet’s routine I’d like to keep it as regular as possible when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, and meds if needed while keeping their space clean, safe, and stress-free. My home I have a fenced yard providing your pet a safe environment to roam and play.
“Amera took great care of our dogs! She was always on time and understanding of our requests and our dogs normal routines. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone you can trust with your pups.”
“Taylor was so helpful coming in last minute. She was careful with our elderly dog, making sure she has everything she needs to be comfortable and happy. We would love to have her watch our dog in the future!”
“Jessica was so nice and patient with Greta who was very anxious because we had just moved and had to leave for a night. She was able to give her medicine too. Loved getting the photos and updates.”
About: We've both had dogs our whole lives (including our current 2!) and have extensive experience caring for pups of all backgrounds, breeds, shapes, and sizes with different care needs. Kyle works remotely from home full time, so your sweet pup(s) will never be more than an hour or so without someone home with them, and even that will be rare! We are dog parents and homeowners ourselves and promise to treat your sweet pup(s) and home with the same care and respect we give our beloved dogs and home. We have a large, secure fenced yard that's perfect for zoomies, fetch, or simply basking in the sun (as is our senior dog’s preference).
“Mckinnley was very communicative and responsive. She went out of her way to make my shy dogs comfortable including getting one to eat who is normally very nervous around strangers.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 6 and at 12, I started walking and pet sitting dogs in my neighborhood and continued this till I adopted my own puppy. In the last 8 years, I’ve adopted a cat, bearded dragon, and two dogs of my own. I’ve enjoyed learning about all the traits that make each of these animals special. I love running, hiking, and swimming with my own dogs and would love to do the same with yours, or just cuddle on the couch! I have experience with older dogs, challenging behaviors, puppies, and following training plans. I also have experience administering medication. I’d love to get to know your fur babies and show them just as much love as I show my own. I work full time from home so I'm available most days. I'm typically not available for house sitting on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can do drop in visits but 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, I have a standing meeting between 8-10:30 AM. I’ll keep an eye on your pets when outdoors and always reach out if there’s a concern for their health. I also have experience follow medication routine.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, and currently own two, high energy, pups. I come packed with love and patience for your fur baby. I have a calm demeanor, but bring the fun, and will treat your pet with the respect and kindness you’d hope for. I work from home and make my own schedule. If I’m house sitting, I will be available for your pet the entire time. I do have scattered meeting throughout the day, and will work around my schedule. I give my dogs two walks a day. I can fit yours in at those times, or the times that work best for you. If I’m house sitting, I will stick to your dog’s schedule.
“Raquel stayed with our pets for two weeks, and she was excellent. First, I loved how quickly she responded to our request and that she scheduled a meet and greet right away. Raquel was on time for the meeting and took notes while I showed her around. Secondly, I liked that she asked lots of questions and was very comfortable with the dogs/cat. She sent lots of pictures while we gone as well, which made me very happy. Lastly, when we got home, our house was spotless. Raquel also checked with us about our flight to make sure there were no delays or anything. I would highly recommend Raquel to anyone needing pet care.”

I feel so comfortable and at ease with Hannah watching her because I’ve seen them together and Hannah is a natural animal lover and my dog can tell. Therefore, Nala loves being around her with how gentle and loving Hannah makes their environment! Such a playful and goofy pair!! I 10/10 would recommend her to any of my other dog-parents!”
Melissa M.
“Melissa is obsessed with her dogs in the best way! She takes them on multiple walks per day. She thought me only taking my dog out twice a day was not enough times (it's plenty for my dog lol). She spends more time with them than anyone else. She understands them and their feelings. Leave her alone with dogs for too long and she will create a whole new language only she and the animals know and understand. I wish I was exaggerating on that one. You will literally never meet someone more obsessed with dogs in my opinion.”
