“We have used dog sitters in 38 states over the past four years, and we have never had our dogs react to us like, “Oh, you’re back…” when we got home! Carrie came in the night before her scheduled arrival time to spend more time with them before we left very early the next morning, and except for a few quick trips over the three days, she never left them. She is impeccably clean, well-mannered, and loves animals. Obviously, she has our highest recommendation for anyone needing help with their fur babies.”



“Anita was awesome! She responded right away to any questions. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was 100% trustworthy and we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our pets. Thanks for everything!”


“Andrea was fantastic. This was the first time leaving my two puppies alone so I was a little nervous but Andrea sent a ton of photos and messages to reassure me. I will definitely be booking again with her. My dogs loved her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. When I didn’t have my own, I was always volunteering to take care of my friends dogs. This was good for me while I was going to school and moving around. After separating from the Air Force, I have been blessed to have two of my own fur babies. I’m able take care of your pets before and after I go to my full time job. If you want me to take care of your pets over night, we would need to make sure they get along with my dogs. I would take care of your pets as if they where my own. I take mine on a walk three times a day. Since I don’t have a yard, I’m constantly taking my Great Pyrenees/Lab hiking 2 to 3 times a week. He is also a picky eater, so I’ve had to get creative with his food. My pets are always on a leash when I take them out.

About: I've trained my own dogs from the puppy stage and taken care of them in the senior stage. I love all of it. I enjoy going on walks with any of the dogs I take care of while also making sure they are having fun too. I can take care of any needs for your dogs and cats.

With specialized expertise in training puppies and providing attentive senior care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and health.

When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, well-being, and adherence to any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Here’s how I approach different pet care services: Dog Sitting: Daily Routine: I maintain the dog's regular feeding schedule, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Exercise and Play: I engage the dog in activities they enjoy, such as walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them active and happy. Comfort: I provide cozy resting areas and ensure the environment is safe and secure. Medication: If required, I administer medications according to the owner's instructions. Dog Walking: Safety First: Before the walk, I check equipment like leashes and harnesses to ensure they are secure. Exploration: I take dogs on stimulating walks in safe areas, allowing them to explore and enjoy their surroundings. Hydration: I bring water for hydration, especially during warmer weather. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior during walks.

Little River pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sydney was amazing! Above and beyond! She took the greatest of care of my little man Boomer and even though it was just for one night when she left the next day Boomer was obviously missing her. Worrying about the care of our four legged family members can weigh on us and it was such a huge weight lifted off my shoulders knowing I could go out of town and focus on my work and not worry about Boomer. 5 stars isn’t enough. So thankful for Rover and Sydney. Will absolutely being using this service again. Thanks so much Sydney!
