About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!

“Zaria did great with my loud 2yo GSD and my little cavalier. It was a bit last minute but she met me prior to caring for them to get all of the instructions for them. I felt so comfortable while being away. She messaged me and sent great pics of my two while I was away. Happy I found a great sitter in the area for when I need it again!”
“Dia was amazing with our 3 cats! She sent lots of updates and pictures and was very patient and kind with our elderly kitty who can be spicy and uncooperative. I would definitely book her again, and recommend her to friends!”

“Thank you Riley for taking great care of our kittens while we were away. Riley showed up when she needed to, made sure our cats had food and water and kept their littler box clean. She spent time with them and gave them love and attention which made us feel better about leaving them home. I would book with Riley again and just ask her to be mindful of unnecessary lighting gets turned off. Our boys were taken care of with lots of love and we really appreciate that.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved helping care for them. From feeding and walking to playtime and giving them attention, caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Since COVID, I’ve pet sat for numerous families and currently have a daily schedule walking dogs for multiple households. Last year, I got my first dog in my own home, and she absolutely loves joining me on walks and playing with other animals too! I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every animal like family. I am a teacher so I have summer off! Along with that, once school starts back I am happy to help on the weekends and in the afternoons. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and close supervision. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s normal routine. I make sure they are fed on time, walked safely, given attention, and kept comfortable, while also respecting the client’s home and providing updates when needed.

I make sure to maintain a safe and loving environment! I love animals so I will give them the best care! I am very dependable!
About: My experience into dog care started 9 years ago, and my time working with cats started less than a year later. My experience of both dogs with a hyper or dissociative personality and felines with bad temperament was mostly gained while working at various animal shelters. Some shelter dogs and cats are not temperamental on their own but sometimes will instinctively react to those who are being the aggressors, as is their nature. it's often very similar at dog parks- A Gathering of many unknown dogs, some likely to be reactive to others and always a few having chance of causing a fight. Something I keep in mind for safety every time I have an interaction with a dog I don't know while walking someone else's that I was entrusted the care of, is that other animals I don't know will always be unpredictable. Outside my charity work for shelters, for an even longer amount of time I've taken care of pets of many ages and breeds for family/friends going on 9 years now. I have handled many large breeds; Labradors, Huskies, Great Danes, German Shepards, Mastiffs. I have also worked with various medium and small sized breeds. My total 2 years of experience with puppies was spread out caring for and helping raise pups my sister had gotten. Between raising puppies and trying to work with pets giving me a hard time during the course of my many dog sitting jobs I have seen and learnt countless things about our furry friends! To list a few; common dog and cat habits, nutrition, toxic foods for dogs, signs of aggressive body language in pets, and abnormal behavior alongside possible causes. Any and all pet needs such as sitting, walking, etc. I'm available to do every day of the week, as I have a clear schedule for the time being. When at a client's house, if instructions are not already given to me I will ask the owner's typical routine with their pet and see what they want or need done for their dog or cat. I'd Also ask general house rules like backyard access, and if I could entertain the fuzzy friends with toys for enrichment.
About: I will love your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 springer spaniels that love to play. I can give special care for a dog that needs meds or has a special diet. I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I’ve always loved how pets become part of the family and make each day so much brighter! I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small puppies to older dogs who sometimes need extra help or medications. I’d love to help out! I currently work, but I have breaks throughout the day that would allow me to take pets for walks, potty breaks, etc. Weekends I usually have a very free schedule. Normally when I watch dogs, I’ll take frequent walks outside and provide a safe indoor environment with toys, food, water. I do live in an apartment, but outdoor time on a leash is a must especially for potty breaks!

I ensure a safe and secure environment for the pets, giving them ample space to move and explore. Daily exercise is incorporated into their schedule, whether it's energetic walks, engaging playtime, or stimulating mental activities.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
