About: Listen, I've basically run a zoo my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua and let me tell you, keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I would love and care of them as if they were my own fur baby. I’m currently working part time on an unfixed schedule and have a lot of free time to care for you and your pets needs daily or weekly. While I don’t have a yard I do have a dog park within walking distance and lots of area to walk your dogs and pets.
“Alison was quick to respond to us needing a sitter next week and was kind enough to meet us for a walk to meet our dogs. They immediately loved her, she was on time and great to meet! We would definitely trust her to stay or walk with our dogs in the future.”
“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”

I currently own two medium sized beagles who love everyone, big and small dogs alike and they love to play as they are still young and ready to destroy any toy they get a hold of. I have watched cats, dogs, and small animals be it reptiles or small fluffy animals and I cant forget to mention birds. My favorite of course is Dogs and I would love the opportunity to watch your dog and have them play with my pups so they all can have fun and tire each other out. My beagle boys love to go on walks and play tug- a -war.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, from dogs to special-needs cats, chickens, and bearded dragons.

For visits or walks, morning, midday, and afternoon times on weekdays generally work best. When visiting or walking pets, I always make sure to double-check everything is in order, and reach out immediately if anything's amiss. Past clients have said I'm a great communicator, responsible with their homes, and responsive to their needs and concerns.
Jefferson dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abigail did a great job with our large dog. Was super attentive to detail asking all of the right questions to ensure she was able to adequately take care of our dog. Was able to flex to a last minute schedule change and could instantly tell that our dog had a great time and was played with well.
This was such a late notice booking, but John had no issues making it work. To quote John from when I reached out unexpectedly, “that’s why I’m here”. Those words are music to any pet owners ears. Always sends great updates about their walks and I feel all the better knowing John has it under control.
Sara was great! She took our dog, Max, out for twice-daily walks while we were away for six days. Sara took great photos and gave us daily updates throughout our trip. We felt like Max was being very well taken care of. And when we got back, Max didn’t have any of the anxious, clingy energy he often displays after we return from even a very short trip. Sara was very easy to deal with, too.
