About: New to Rover, not new to pet sitting! I have been pet sitting since the early 2000s, starting by taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets as a first job. Now, it’s something that brings me great joy outside of my day job. I work remote, so I’m fully available to check in & help with your fur babies 7 days a week at any time. During my spare time, I volunteer at a cat sanctuary that specializes in re-socializing abused cats. This has given me experience in proper medication administration, baths, and behavioral rehabilitation. I’m a pet owner myself & know how stressful it can be to leave your fur babies at home with a stranger. Let me help so you can stress less! I work full-time, permanently remote with a flexible job & hours. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings whether it be for spontaneous trips or weekly scheduled visits. Pet care not only fits into my day to day life & job, but it’s what brings me joy! Safety & trust are my top priorities myself. Having two pets of my own at home, I understand the stress of having someone new visit your animals. Let’s chat about your expectations & needs per pet before visits begin. I promise to follow your rules to a T to ensure all steps are followed & everyone is safe.
“We have had a fantastic experience with Christopher. He quickly established trust with our dog and has been patient and flexible walking him during the coldest days of the winter!”
“Rebecca is amazing! We are new to the are and this was our first time using Rover and she made it a great experience. Our animals love her and she is incredibly dependable. Thank you so much Rebecca for taking such great care of our animals.”
“Gwendolyn went above and beyond to help us in a bind with our best boy! She gave him a good walk, refilled his bowl with fresh water and even gave him some snackies to hold him over until we got home. On top of that she spent time after the walk to love on him for a while! 10/10 and will be using her again!!”
About: Hello, my name is Ayla. I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life. Whether that be my own, my families, or my neighbors. I started working in the pet industry when I was 17. I have worked at stores like Petco and Petsmart. I take a great interest in POSITIVE dog training, and grainfree dog food and treats. I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience. I have never been a groomer but I love giving pets a good brushing to keep their coat clean and tangle free. Currently my family consists of three large dogs and two kittens we rescued from the side of the road. I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me. Please note, for house sittings I am willing and prefer to stay at your house. I believe this helps reduce stress and anxiety. I aim to replicate the care and companionship you would give your fur baby. Available every day and any time, I typically have appointments in the afternoon. I take care of my 4 animals while my husband works and study herbalism in my free time. Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.

Whether it was sticking to his feeding schedule, going for long walks, or providing playtime, Natalie took care of Rebel like he was her own. If you’re looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Natalie. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!

Alexis C.
“Alexis is my absolute go to gal for watching our fur baby Oliver. When we get back from vacation the house is just as we left it and my dogs tail is wagging and nothing in his routine has been changed. That to me is a sign of a great dogie sitter. I have no worries when I'm on vacation as to how things are going back at home. I even get pictures texted to me which I just love.”
Debbie R.
“Debbie’s knowledge and expertise with the care and training of dogs is phenomenal. She is highly educated with multiple accredited certifications and it shows with her loving approach and philosophy of positive reinforcement. We were lucking enough to find Debbie to help us train our English Chocolate Lab puppy. We have had multiple dogs and had taken them to a facility for training, so this was not our first rodeo. Debbie came to our home and worked with our puppy with us, once a week for a month, and the results were nothing short of amazing the very first day. Her loving approach and knowledge she shared with us, not only training, but the whole dog (i.e. food, how he responded to us, how to handle him when he does not listen and his focus while training) was something I had never experienced before. I felt like she was also training us and made us aware of recognizing responses and behaviors that we were unaware of and how to respond. We were so excited to see him flourish and it made working with him a complete joy. I’m so thankful for everything she taught us and for her sharing her knowledge. I’m also grateful that if we were ever in need of assistance she is there. It is very obvious her love for animals and I can not say enough about Debbie.”
