In your home I will care for your pet(s) just as I would my own. Feeding them on your preferred schedule, taking walks, playtime, and cuddles. I want you to feel ease and comfort knowing your sweet furry family member is always in good hands with me!

Information Payton W. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know if there’s anything special about your pet that I should keep in mind—whether it’s dietary needs, medication schedules, favorite toys, quirks, or things that make them nervous. The little details help me make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just the way you would at home.

A typical day

A day with your pets is all about keeping them happy, comfortable, and loved. For dogs, that usually means plenty of walks, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a little extra cuddle time. For cats, I make sure litter is clean, food and water are refreshed, and there’s time for play, brushing, or just keeping them company in whatever way they enjoy. I always tailor the day to your pet’s personality and routine—whether that’s long walks, a game of fetch, or just a cozy nap buddy nearby. And of course, I send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. 🐾

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember-from growing up with dogs and cats to loving on all the animals I meet. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of house-sitting and pet-sitting for family members and friends, providing loving, reliable care while they were away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I’m attentive, patient, and always happy to tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs.

Payton did a fantastic job with our two dogs, staying in our home for a week. She was very responsive and proactive during her stay. She took great care of the dogs and our home. We definitely hope to work with her in the future!

Payton was a great sitter for my cat Percy. Even with only a week's notice, she was flexible in scheduling a time to meet me and Percy, and answered all my questions about Rover (first time user).

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
