Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life. I've had dogs of my own and have always loved to take care of family and friend's dogs.

About my yard I only sit in the client's home, not at my own. This allows the pet to feel more comfortable in their own environment. No travel trauma for pet or owner. Reduced chance for picking up illness as not boarding with other pets. Pets can keep their same feeding & exercise routines. They can also have the familiar sights, sounds & smells that make them feel safe in their own home.

I am available for your let's needs, whether that be stop I'm visits, house sitting and overnight stays and more. I also do pet and family portraiture. I do not care for client's pet in my home, but rather the pet's own home so they feel confident, safe, relaxed and can keep their own routines, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.

About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!

About: As a Dog Parent, former SPCA Volunteer, and someone who has spent a lot of time away from home, I know how important it is to have someone that you can actually trust with not only your pets but your home too! As a former close protection agent to some of our nations top Diplomats around the world, allow me to be the one that cares for and protects your greatest assets; Your Animals. Need someone that you can trust to get your best friends to their vet appointments? I’ve got a truck set up that allows your friend to ride in luxury with great A/C and plenty of space for them to stretch out. Need someone you can trust to take your dog on the type of walk they need and deserve? Pick me instead of someone that’s going to do the bare minimum because they just want to make a quick buck. Need someone that’s going to give your elderly or sick dog the type of attention they need? Pick the guy whose hands occasionally smell like dog food from hand feeding his own dog due to her current condition. The bottom line is: I Care and You Can Trust Me. Thanks in advance for your trust Let me know what works for you and I can likely make accommodations. For your dogs sake, with the summer heat upon us, I prefer to do walks during the cooler part of the day but am happy to take them to a shady park if that is not suitable to your needs. I have a big fenced in backyard with a pool that your dog is welcome to play in and plenty of yard space for them to run around. Extra measures can be taken for nervous parents whose dogs who are escape artists; such as fitting them with a GPS collar during their stay. Would prefer that your dog was friendly with other dogs as I have two elderly dogs of my own who are kind and playful.

20. Alia W.
“I recently was out of the country for 2.5 weeks. I had no access to wifi or any type of internet. I was so relieved that Alia was there to take care of my animals. I did not worry at any time. She took care of my cats, chickens and helped keep up the yard work of my very large lot. Growing up, Alia had a large variety of animals in her home. She is comfortable caring for dogs, cats, pigs, birds, and chickens just to name a few. She is a compassionate animal lover who takes the responsibility of the job very seriously. I recommend her without any hesitation.”

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
