“Rebecca was amazing! My dogs took right to her. She was very savvy and knowledgeable and able to handle my boys so well. I am so thankful that in a time I needed to be gone, I didn't have to worry about my dogs.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
About: I have fostered, nurtured, rehabbed, and found appropriate and long term homes for many animals throughout my life. Many of the dogs and cats I’ve found abandoned/ or in danger of being euthanized have gone to long term homes with people who I am still in touch with. I have also rescued and nurtured native wildlife and found numerous programs to move them back into the wild. I believe my compassionate approach and love for animals has led to care for animals in a way I find deeply fulfilling. I have gained so much experience with specialized medical care, patience, and a gentle approach that has, I hope, left a positive impact on all animals and people involved with them. These experiences have shaped me into a person whos been able to assist with many complex pets and handle unique needs. My goal is to create trusting bonds with your pet and provide thoughtful and respectful care to any animal I encounter. I work from home Monday through Friday and am afforded flexibility. Id love to add spending time with your pet to my schedule, and enjoy bonding with animals. I have two cats, one spent years in foster care and is very friendly. I also have extra space in my home to accomodate a pet that would not typically get along with the cats.

I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I would love the opportunity to give them the attention, companionship, and love they deserve while you’re away! Unfortunately I am unable to do pet care in my own home at the moment due to apartment complex having pet policies to ensure residents and their pets a safe home.
About: I have always loved Dogs , Cats and other animals. I got my first Dog over 20 Years ago. I can remember it like yesterday, she was white German Shepard mixed puppy named “Star”. I would play with her everyday after school, feed her and sometimes bath her. She was very quiet and relaxed but her aura could be felt before you even seen her beautiful white coat. The love and energy that I felt around her definitely impacted my life positively forever. She was truly the perfect definition of a Star and has unlocked the passion in my heart to show love to every dog, cat and animal that I meet. In my eyes they are just little angels covered in fur. With that being said, you can trust me to take care of your fur babies with the upmost love, care and respect, which will leave you with a peace of mind. I am currently working from home . So my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty time for your pets.if you would like my services just let me know a day advance please. I don’t mind coming to your home to take care of your pets. I am reliable, trustworthy and always on time. I’m attentive at all times and will make sure that your babies are safe and treated like family. Communication and teamwork will make the dream work!
“Devin is amazing! Our 7 week old puppy was well taken care of during his first week home and I received daily updates while away at work. My husband and I are definitely planning to continue to have Devin help with taking our puppy out during the day while we are at work.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life I’ve been responsible for bathing, walking and feeding them. I have had many pets of all sizes and ages I’m currently attending college online so I have plenty of time to pay attention to your pets throughout the week. I’m very flexible with my schedule and I’d love to meet your furry friends. I have a small older dog of my own but can easily crate her if needed, lots of space for your dog/ pet to run around and hiking trails near by to get their energy out!
About: I recently received my Pet Sitter Certification from IAP Career College and have over ten years of experience working professionally with animals. From 2011 until 2013 I entered the pet services industry as a volunteer at the CSRA Humane Society. The Humane Society is the only non-profit no kill shelter in our community. While volunteering, I would visit and play with both the cat and dog residents. My duties at the Human Society consisted of giving tours of the facility, assisting with donations, walking and brushing the cats and dogs, and catching the staff up on washing food and water bowls. From 2013 until 2014, they hired me as a cat caretaker, in which left me in charge of taking care of almost 200 cats at any given time. I left the Humane Society to start pet sitting for friends and family members. I have experience in taking care of a variety of dog and cat breeds. I began doing home visits and drop-ins in 2015 and have since added overnight stays to my list of services. My pet customers love me and I care for them as I care for my own. I have made pet care a full-time job and will book only the number of pets I can see in one day in order to stay on schedule. I am also flexible so that I can meet the needs of my clients. I can be counted on to always be on time which I think is important to keep the pets I serve on their routine. Trust is important and I am very honest and trustworthy. Before working with a pet I like to learn what it is the owner would like for me to do if keeping the pet in his or her own home and the safety precautions I should be aware of. I am also very up front and honest and can be relied on to do the job the way it needs to be done. I also have no problem letting my client know if the ability to work with a pet with special needs or care is outside my scope of knowledge. I ask my clients to keep a list of emergency numbers (such as Veterinarian) when I am on an overnight pet sitting stay. When taking pets for a walk, I always keep a portable water bowl and bottled water with me to keep the pet hydrated while being active. I am not certified in CPR, but my goal is to be certified within the next 3 months.
About: I have worked and been around animals since I was born. I use to work for a reserve rehabilitator and animal shop owner. I have worked with many breeds of cats and dogs and understand each one can be uniquely different. What works for one may not always work for another. I’m retired navy so I have all day to work with your animals. I can do drop ins throughout the day to check on them to let them out or take on a walk. Pretty flexible schedule. In my home I have a 5 year old husky who has been raised around cats and puppies. He is good at helping correct puppies. He has had one litter of his own pups. I do not have a fenced yard, but can take them on leash in the yard and live in a nice neighborhood to walk your animal. If you want crate training I have a couple already here at the house
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ranging from young to old, big and small, various personalities, energy levels and administrating medications. This includes rover, work, family and friends, and volunteering at a few vets/adoption organizations. I’m even great with non furry animals. I’ve had/have reptiles and mantises as pets. So I think it’s safe to say I’m a jack of all trades when it comes to taking care of your babies! Also, if you know your pet isn’t super friendly towards other cats or dogs, it’s okay! I’m currently a college student via online courses and a kennel tech with a flexible schedule. Therefore I let the owners choose the times they need or want. I love my fur babies so much. I stay on top of their health, daily exercise at the park, nightly walks and treats! I do the same for any pet because they deserve it!

About: I’ve walked tiny dogs, large dogs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. My dog was trained by Ridgeside K9 (meaning I was ALSO trained by them hahaha) and so I have a lot of experience when it comes to maintaining any type of training(or lack of) that your dog has while on walks. I’m detail oriented too, meaning expect lots of pictures and details of every moment together ❤️ I’m usually home throughout the days and evenings! My schedule is very flexible. I’m currently available for drop ins and walks. I can do night drop ins if needed as well. My biggest focus is ensuring that your pet is comfortable and feels safe with me. I like to maintain a routine for them! Whether that is scheduled walks, potty times, or snuggles.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
Heather was absolutely amazing! She had great communication from the very beginning and even scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was incredibly attentive and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Nami’s routine and how to take the best care of her while we were away. Throughout our trip, Heather sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She did everything we asked and truly went above and beyond. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nami and treated her like her own. We will definitely be booking with Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!
