I’m a work-from-home designer with a flexible schedule and a huge heart for animals. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will enjoy plenty of attention—whether it’s playtime in the yard, walks in the park, or lots of cuddle sessions. Their happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home (maybe even a little spoiled!). With me, your furry friend will be safe, loved, and right at home <3

Information Rowena C. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know if there are any special items or requests to make your pup’s stay as comfortable as possible—like which is their favorite toy, treats, or things they do / do not enjoy! It would also preferred if your fur baby could have a bath before being dropped off. Not only does it help them feel fresh and comfortable during their stay, but it also helps me keep a clean and safe space for all the dogs who come through my home. I care deeply about providing the best environment possible ◡̈ I will only accept dogs that are potty-trained and well-behaved around furniture. Thank you for understanding!

A typical day

I’m a big fan of staying active and love getting my steps in throughout the day. First thing in the morning, I’ll clean your dog’s eyes to make sure they start the day fresh and comfortable. Mornings are perfect for me to take your dog on a 30 min to 1 hour walk to kick off the day with some fresh air and exercise. In the evenings, I tend to go on a walk around the neighborhood after dinner, so your doggie will always have plenty of outdoor time and attention! Lots of belly rubs and cuddles will also be given throughout the day!

Loving Care for Your Fur Baby ❤️

Pet care experience

🐾 DOG SIZE Policy: I specialize in caring for small to medium sized dogs! Unfortunately, I do not accept dogs over 35 lbs. Thank you for understanding. 🐾 SPECIALIZED CARE: I welcome only 2–3 dogs at a time to ensure a safe environment and to give each dog the dedicated attention and care they deserve. 🐾 SENIOR DOGS: For senior dogs aged 11 years and older, an additional $10 per night fee applies to accommodate the extra care and attention they may require. 🎁 NEW USERS: Use code ROWENC92654 to get $20 off your first booking with me! -------------- Hi! ◡̈ I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have been lucky enough to have grown up amongst dogs. Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and I treat every doggo as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and family, often times for weeks or months at a time, and it’s always a joy! So, what makes me different? I don’t just care for your dog—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled while you’re away. From fun walks and playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I’ll keep their tail wagging the entire time! Plus, I LOVE taking photos, so you can count on receiving plenty of adorable pictures and videos. Your fur baby is in for lots of love and attention—and I guarantee happy tail wags when they’re with me! -------------- ATTN: First-time Rover pawrents – you've found the right place ◡̈ I completely understand how anxious it can feel to be apart from your fur baby. I have a pup of my own, and I’m always anxious when we’re apart, so I know exactly how you're feeling. That’s why I treat every dog in my care as my own. I always do everything I can to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at home. I’ve also worked with dogs who struggle with separation anxiety, and I have a lot of patience when it comes to helping them feel calm and comfortable. My goal is to make each dog's stay feel like a fun little staycation — comfy, stress-free, and so enjoyable that they'll be excited to come back next time! --------------

This is our second time booking with Rowena and it was a great experience once again as our pup is always in good care! Will definitely book with her again.

Rowena will always be my first choice for Teddy. He stayed with her 3 days this time and she shared over 250 photos and videos of him and he had so much fun. I haven't seen him this happy and playful in a very long time. Thanks Rowena for giving Teddy such a great vacation :-)

Thank You Rowena, Molly looks great and is happy. She is so calm. We were gone quit some time, and I was worried but the photos and messages made me feel that Molly was safe and in good hands. Thank you, Tina

I highly recommend Rowena! She has been an absolute gem while taking care of my furry baby. Her reliability is unmatched; I always feel at ease knowing that my dog is in such capable hands. What truly sets her apart is her sweetness. She genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being and happiness, which is so comforting as a pet owner. I love receiving daily update photos that show my pup having a blast—it’s clear that they have formed a special bond. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Rowena. Thank you for being such a wonderful sitter!
