“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have taken care of my family dogs, big and small since I was old enough to pour their dog food. Now, I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments.

About: Hi, my name is Ishel! I’ve loved animals my entire life and have 26 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving baths, feeding them, or simply giving them lots of love and attention. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have three dogs of my own who are on a regular schedule and are very well trained, so I’m already used to keeping up with daily routines and taking care of multiple pets. I work 1–2 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to be home and give the pets in my care plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are in a safe, clean, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs, including puppies and dogs with different personalities and energy levels.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog mom who knows how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including large and strong breeds, and I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and care tailored to them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks and playtime, lots of snuggles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I also know how reassuring updates can be when you’re away from your furry family member, so you can expect plenty of communication, photos, and little updates along the way. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and getting plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to easily accommodate your pet’s usual routine, whether they need walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra company and cuddles. 🐾 I care for pets in my home and/or my client’s home by following their usual routines and providing attentive, personalized care. Depending on the service, this may include walks, meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, medication, grooming, and plenty of companionship and cuddles. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate each pet’s needs and routine. 🐾
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
“This was my first time I used Rover for my dogs. I was extremely pleased with the care and communication that Jenika provided my girls while I was away for the holidays. She made the whole experience reassuringly being so far from home. My dogs seem to really love to see Jenika and she was really great with them and would send detailed visits and photos. I could see from my camera’s the girls were having a great time. I would definitely book with Jenika again or refer her.”
“Kaylee was phenomenal! It was a last minute booking but she jumped right in. She was able to meet the boys the day before and they absolutely adored her. She was very communicative, polite, and respectful. She always reached out if she had any questions and responded fast if we needed to get ahold of her. 10/10 recommend!”
About: Currently, I get the pleasure and opportunity to work from home. So that gives me plenty of time to provide lots of belly rubs and kisses. So I have plenty of time for walk, tug of war and treat breaks. My home has lots of space and can accommodate any request. My home provides dog gates throughout the home. Comfy beds and dog cage if needed. Home also has designated cozy dog room for relax time.
About: I love my dogs and I will love yours to!! Your family member will have a great place to stay, and somebody to play with. They will be well taken care of and have everything they will need, food, water, outside, pet scratches, and belly rubs. We will be taking walks in a lovely neighborhood and spend some time at the park. You may not want them to stay to long or they may not want to go home. I look forward to taking in your family members while you are out of town or taking care of business. Either way you can rest easy knowing your beloved animals are here with me and in a safe place, I will be more than happy to do so! Thank you for your time and hope I’m a good match for you and your fur babies. I currently have free time at my home so I would love to spend some time with a friendly pet. I am currently a stay at home mom. I like to give attention when attention is needed to pets. If they want to play I will play with them or if they need to go out to potty, I will take them out. Anything your pet needs I will be there.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I got my first cat at 9 years old. I adore the companionship and love animals give. Some of my best memories are centered around a fur baby and I’d love to make some memories with yours! I’m currently working full time but am able to check on during my lunch break and after work. My schedule on the weekends is very flexible and I’m typically available all day. Your pet will be my top priority when I am with them. I care for orher people's pets the same as I do mine because animals deserve love and safety. I will always listen to your instructions but I would love to give them treats, extra hugs, playtime and walks. I don’t mind changing litter boxes and I will always make sure their living area is kept clean and that they have enough food and water.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in La Vernia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
