Pet care experience

I will love your pets like my own!

I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I’ve also been a Rover sitter for over a year now. I raised my current dog from a puppy and previously had a rescue dog, so I’ve worked with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn routines or giving a senior dog extra patience and care, I always adapt to what each pet needs most. I think what sets me apart is how genuinely invested I am in every animal I care for. I treat every pet like they’re my own by paying attention to their comfort, personality, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I can’t have pets where I live right now, so spending time with other people’s pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m more than happy to care for your pet in their own home, where they feel the most comfortable and safe. I’ll follow your usual routine closely and give them plenty of love and attention while making sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I’ll also always be respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized.

Payton was amazing. She took care of our two French Bulldogs and was very attentive and communicative, incredibly professional, and you can tell she really cares about animals. She really went the extra mile taking care of our home in ways we didn’t expect. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.

It was my first time using Rover and leaving my animals (3 cats and 1 dog) in the care of a sitter (as opposed to a family member), and Payton really was the best case scenario! I was super nervous about how they'd do with someone they aren't as familiar with, if they'd even come out to eat. All of my fears disappeared after the first visit when it was clear Payton had earned their trust. She was always on time and stuck around during the drop-ins to give them extra attention. She was very professional, kind, and took my animal's semi-complicated routine in stride. I was confident in her abilities to care for my pets, and I will most definitely book her services again for my next trip out of town! Thank you, Payton!!

Payton was great with my energetic pup! He is not the easiest dog to wear out and every time I got home he seemed content and happy with the attention she gave him. Will definitely book her again next time i need someone to check in on him.

Payton did a great job watching my dogs in my house while I was out of town. She loves my dogs like they are her own. The house was just as I left it. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

Payton is amazing with our three dogs. You can tell how much they love her staying with them by the smiles on their faces and all the photos she sends us. Not only does she take such wonderful care of them, but it’s also a comfort knowing how much she truly enjoys spending time with them. I never have to worry and know that they are in the best of hands when they’re in her care.

Schedule

I’m a recent graduate of the College of Saint Benedict, and I honestly just love being around animals. Taking care of pets fits really naturally into my routine. One of my favorite things to do is go on walks, so having a dog with me makes it even better. I’m currently searching for my “big girl” job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pup lots of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Overall, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Payton can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Some important things for me to know about your dog would be their feeding schedule, any favorite toys or activities they love, and anything that might upset them. For example, are there spots they don’t like being touched? Any noises or actions that scare them? The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe while they’re with me.
