About: I have a rescue dog Winnie that I've had since 2017. I never had a bad interaction with her and another dog which I like to attribute to my handling ability. I will not bring Winnie when I am caring for another dog. Since 2010 I've helped family and friends with their dogs and also had roommates with puppies and dogs that I've helped take care of too. I prefer the later afternoon and night shifts due to the fact I work in an office every day. I prefer the later afternoon and night shifts due to the fact I work in an office every day. Weekends and holidays I am free all day. I prefer to use the client's yard or take them to a park. My yard is only size appropriate for smaller dogs but still fenced in if your dog is not very active.
About: My wife and I have had dogs for over 25 years, we would love the chance to take in your pup while you're away. Be careful they might come home spoiled. I am able to give injections if needed, have experience with senior dogs. I am retired and able to take care of your dog 24/7. My wife is home by early afternoon and home on weekends, to also help with your dog's needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and a dog of my own for your pup to play with, he's about 50lbs. and loves to play ball.
About: Tail-wagging care you can count on! I have 20 years of pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet personalities and temperaments and 25 years of loving my own fur babies as well. I specialize in puppy care and basic training reinforcement (housetraining, play based development, leash manners), senior pet care (gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration), and special needs and rescue animals (with an understanding of anxiety, therapeutic support, and slow-trust building). I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, reliability, and plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. You can relax knowing your pet is not only safe, but genuinely cared for. :) I'm currently working part time from home so I prioritize caring for your pet with the same attention I gave to my own pets - making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. I have a fenced yard and an animal-friendly home. Currently there are no other pets in the home because my three fur babies have since passed on after 15-17 years of life. I now have two children (my daughter is 7, and my son is 4) who love animals and are very gentle and caring. If your pet doesn't prefer children, please let me know and I wouldn't bring them with me to care for your pet. :)
About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover offering personalized walks right here in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I treat every dog like my own. I’m experienced with everything from high energy puppies who need a bit of leash training to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and always put safety first on every walk. Pet care is my main focus right now, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine! ( I’m on summer break as I work as a special needs aide) so I’ve set aside this time specifically to care for pets in my community, which means I’m flexible, dependable, and fully present for each walk or visit. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I currently care for pets in my apartment/ clients’ homes. I do prefer to care for pets in clients homes as I want to ensure each pet has the space and comfort they’re used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their regular routine; feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I always keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own.
About: I’ve taken care of sunconures, cockatiels, dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles ever since I can remember. My dog is a senior at the end of her life so I have experience with that as well I do work in office from 9-5 Monday-Friday. So during that time not able to walk pets. Other than that I am able to care for them. in my home I have a basement set up incase the pets need to be kept seperate. If I’m going to your home I’m trust worthy and will not tamper with anything.

Hometown pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.
This is our second time having Keira care for our cat Bela and we are just as happy if not happier this time (if that's possible)! She is very thorough, caring, clean, friendly and really takes her time playing with our very energetic big fellow! We are very happy with Keira, and highly recommend her, we will definitely request her again! Bela misses her already!
Maani was fantastic! I have a super loving, separation anxiety filled Pittie and from our first meet and greet with Maani I knew they would hit it off perfectly! She was prompt, communicated well and stayed for as long as she could each visit… she even took him for a walk that evening. I am so thankful to Maani for taking such great care of my babies!
Sajida was WONDERFUL!! She is super friendly and really takes the time to get to know your pet and all the nuances that each of our furry friends have. I received great updates and lots of pictures. My Sasha was in extremely good hands. I definitely recommend Sajida if you need a pet sitter. A+++
