“Corina did a great job watching my 6 cats and a dog, and even was able to give everyone their meds without issue. I came home to a clean house and a bunch of happy babies. I’ll be booking with her again.”


“Leandra took great care of our pup and kitty and home! She was very flexible with our schedule changes and followed our very specific instructions we left as well as sent many updates to ease us since this was our first getaway leaving the babies behind. On her way out our puppy licked her which was evident she loved her time with her. Thank you for your help we will definitely be re-booking for future getaways!”


“I can't thank Stephanie enough for taking care of our two big dogs. She was very caring and patient with us as first time Rover users and answered all our questions. I also sent her loads of details about dogs likes/dislikes and more and she followed everything to the T. She's definitely an animal person and I look forward to having her take care of our doggos again.”


“Kayla was an incredible sitter. We needed a last minute sitter and she immediately set up a time to meet the doggies. Once booked, she kept in constant communication and sent so many pictures and updates. Will book again.”


“Kassy took care of our two dogs for four days. I liked that she was able to work from our home because our little dog really needs the companionship. She also took the time to help our big girl deal with her quirk about not being able to walk on the floor without a rug. I appreciated getting pictures of the dogs while we were away. When we got home the house was clean and the dogs were happy. I will definitely ask her to come back.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—since the day I was born, they’ve been a constant part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with them, whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to help with feeding, grooming, walks, playtime, and even caring for senior dogs who may need a little extra attention. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I can visit your home for walks, feeding, playtime, or drop-in visits as needed. My schedule is open on weekdays and weekends, so I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as I do my own. I follow your specific instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medications, or favorite toys—to keep your pet feeling safe and happy. I always prioritize your pet’s well-being and will ensure they’re secure, loved, and looked after in their own familiar environment.

He is a great communicator and is very thorough in that he not only reads about the pets but also their guardians.
