Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced trainer and pet lover!
Hi, I’m Peyton! I’m a highly experienced sitter for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m ready to meet new pet parents and provide care for your babies! I have been a sitter on Rover since 2019 but have been petsitting since middle school. Due to working an office job M-Th, I am primarily working with cats and small animals who can receive care 1x a day in the evenings (between 5-10 pm.) I love my dog clients and hope to be able to accept more of them in the future when I have greater flexibility in my schedule! I generally accept dog drop-in visits on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only, unless you have a one-time weeknight evening date night need! I have extensive dog experience through my volunteer work with 4 Paws for Ability, a nonprofit organization that trains service dogs for children and veterans in need. I fostered and trained 6 service dogs in training over the course of 4 years and taught them over 30 different commands. They had public access and went everywhere with me, so I learned how to handle dogs in every situation. Of course, it is easy to know your dog, but it's much harder to be able to work with someone else's dog. Luckily, I also have a lot of experience working with dogs that are not my own. I have spent 7 months as a sitter for 4 Paws for Ability. This required me to modify my training style so that the particular dog would respond in the best way possible. I have worked with small and large breeds, males and females, calm and crazy personalities, dogs on oral medications, and several dogs in heat. I truly love all dogs, and I would be so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your baby! I also have lots of experience sitting for cats and other small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, fish, and chickens. I have personally owned rabbits and gerbils during my childhood and college years.

Safety, trust & environment
I am trustworthy when it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, and I never leave before the end of the time scheduled. Giving your baby some extra cuddles or fetch time is the best part of every visit! I also enjoy sending pictures and detailed updates each time. As a Rover client myself, I understand it is scary to leave your pet alone so if there is anything I can do to ease your worries, please let me know. I am officially certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I keep a fully stocked pet first aid kit in my car at all times in case it is needed, and I also carry a cat/small animal carrier and dog seatbelt in my car for the unlikely event that emergency transport to a vet is needed. I have experience administering liquid, oral, and injected medications to dogs and cats. I function well under pressure and am able to keep a level head if an emergency were to occur. Please note that I reserve the right to add additional fees for holiday bookings, requests outside of my service radius, substantial medical/behavioral needs, weekday midday potty breaks/feeding for boarding dogs, and key pickup/dropoff that does not occur at the meet & greet. One free 20-30 minute meet & greet per client is included, but additional meet & greets will be charged as a drop-in visit.
Ratings and reviews
Peyton has been watching after our dog, Meadow, on various occasions for about a year or so now. She is reliable, communicative, and very pleasant to talk to. She loves your pet almost as much as you do! She is also a lifesaver. My wife and I were trapped in an airport due to a large weather system affecting travel on the east half of the U.S. recently. We were not sure if we could get home and we're nearly out of options for someone to let our elder dog out. Peyton was willing to go out of her way, with less than 2 hours notice, to let our sweet girl out. And she was willing to come back at 7 the next morning, only 7.5 hours after coming the first time, to feed and let her out again. Thankfully, it didn't come to that, but her willingness to help in a pinch will not be forgotten. If you need a dog sitter who will love your pet like you do and go the extra mile, cannot recommend Peyton highly enough. Thank you for being amazing, Peyton!
Peyton was excellent! She is reliable and went above and beyond what we asked and expected! Our cat was perfectly happy and content when we came home. She usually shows signs of stress if not given attention and care. We would happily rebook with Peyton!
Thanks for walking my fur babies! 💕
Peyton was amazing! She made things so easy for us. We were running the Indy Mini Half Marathon and needed somebody to watch our pup. She met us near the race course and really reduced our race day stress. And our pup had a great time with her! Highly recommend!
Absolutely phenomenal experience! Peyton is hands down the best communicator and I could not have asked for a better experience for my girls! Cannot thank her enough and look forward to using her again!
Peyton is consistent and leaves very detailed notes about her daily drop-in’s. I love that she spent time sitting with the boys and letting them be “lap dogs” and watch tv. - the dogs favorite! Daily photos of the dogs were nice also.

Schedule
I have a full-time job as a Quality Engineer, and I generally work 8:00-4:30 an on-site setting Monday through Thursday, and 8:00-1:00 remotely on Fridays. I have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays. If needed, I can come home on my lunch break to let a boarding dog out, but this will require an additional fee of $15 per day as I live 25 minutes from the office. Dates on my calendar are opened approximately 60 days in advance to ensure that I can accommodate the booking. If you need dates further in the future, please reach out closer to the time of the booking!
