“I have repeatedly used Daniella because my kitties are in very good care with her, I believe they look forward to seeing her and I love getting photos of them. If you’re looking for a sitter, you will be very pleased using Daniella.”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals from dogs to cats to rabbits to snakes, you name it, since I was a kid. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me and trusted me with their pets. I have veterinary experience so I am incredibly knowledgeable with behavior and signs that could be concerning medically. I absolutely love all animals and can be trusted with your fur babies! I’m currently working part-time and work a flexible schedule, so I am available to assist you and your pet in any way I can. I am available for check ins in the early mornings and late evenings every day. Afternoons vary but we can always work something out! Weekends I am totally free! I have 2 dogs at home who are very sweet and get along with other dogs! I can crate your dog if needed, but I do like to stay at home to play with my dogs and take them for walks. There’s also a fenced in dog park in my neighborhood that I like taking them as well!
About: Hi, I am Tierra -- Animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. I have a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and relaxed, even in new environments. Your home and your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care is part of my weekly routine. I am reliable, consistent, and attentive to care. I prioritize giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. In my home or yours, I focus on following the pet's usual routine as closely as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles. I respect the client's home, keep it clean, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Teresa is AMAZING! She is responsible, trustworthy, a great communicator and took wonderful care of Leo. She kept us posted with every visit and included pictures each time. Leo clearly loved his time with her. Teresa deserves more than 5 stars. We highly recommend her and definitely look forward to having her petsit in the future (and Leo does too)!”
About: I love animals and have since a young age. When I was younger, before my family had a dog, I would walk all the neighbors dogs and host doggy day cares which involved setting up old baby gates in the yard and an open invitation for all fur babies. I have been described as having golden retriever energy as I am very active, love spending time outside, and try my best to be a friend to all. I would be more than happy to walk, play, and cuddle with your furry loved one and treat them as my own. I currently work from 8 to 5, however, outside of work my schedule is very flexible. Morning or evenings, I would be happy to dedicate my time to providing for pets. I believe the most important thing is respect. Whether that be respect for your routines, your pets' comfort, or or your home. When I’m in someone’s home, I’m always courteous of the space, belongings, and house rules
About: I'm the one who stops and talks to all the dogs! I love all creatures and have had animals my whole life. I am a stay at home mom with three boys who are all in school and I have plenty of time to share! I have an Aussie that I spend all my time with. We spend hours on long walks exploring the world around us. I would love to get to know your pets and will always treat them with care and respect just as I do with my own. I also have a cat who is 16 and I have a cockatiel who is a real mama's boy. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies real soon!
About: I’ve taken care of all kind of breeds and owned many myself. I have also owned a bunny and know that animals take extra care and attention.

I love my pets and I take the care of mine and others pets with lots of care and attention. I have boarded and been a pet walker for years now.
About: I bring several years of hands-on experience in caring for and handling dogs through a variety of roles, including dog sitting, volunteering with animal organizations, fostering, and being a dedicated dog owner myself. This background has given me a well-rounded understanding of canine behavior and care needs across all life stages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring a gentler approach. Throughout my experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to adapt quickly to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it's providing structured playtime, administering medication, or simply offering companionship and a calm environment, I’m confident in my ability to ensure dogs feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in my home. work fully remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, dog sitting, and walking throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and happy to adjust my availability as needed to help care for your pet and ensure they receive consistent attention and companionship.

My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

“I cannot recommend Tierra enough for a position with Rover. She is one of the most trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring people I have ever met, especially when it comes to animals. As a devoted dog mom herself, she treats every pet she meets with the same love and attention she gives her own. Her dog and cats are the luckiest (and most spoiled) animals to have her. She has watched my dog multiple times, and I’ve never once had to worry. My dog absolutely adores his “aunt”. She’s attentive, reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care, and any pet parent would feel instantly at ease knowing she’s the one looking after their fur baby.”
