About: 🐾 Loving Pet Care in a Safe, Comfortable Home 🏡💛 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly lights up around dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had pets my entire life—including Shar-Peis, Labs, Dachshunds, Scotties, puppies, and multi-pet households—so I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I work from home, which means your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime and adventures or prefers relaxing on the couch for cuddles, I adapt to their individual needs and routine. 🏡 About My Home Your pet will enjoy a safe, loving environment with: • A large, fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play • A clean, calm home with lots of affection and attention • Access to nearby walking trails and a dog park • A safe, gated community with quiet streets for walks • No pets of my own or children, allowing me to focus completely on your pet Pets are welcome on furniture and are treated like family. If your dog enjoys snuggling on the couch or curling up nearby, they'll feel right at home. 🐾 My Experience • Lifelong dog owner and animal lover • Experienced with puppies, adults, and senior dogs • Comfortable with multi-pet households • Experienced caring for cats, birds, and reptiles (at cat parent’s home) • Familiar with administering medications and following detailed care instructions • Strong understanding of pet behavior, routines, and positive reinforcement 💛 My Care Philosophy I believe pets thrive with consistency, structure, patience, and lots of love. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite activities. I keep my bookings limited so every pet receives personalized attention, affection, and quality care. 🐕 Services Offered ✔ Dog Boarding ✔ Doggy Day Care ✔ Dog Walking ✔ Drop-In Visits ✔ House Sitting ✔ Cat Care & Drop-Ins ✔ Bird & Reptile Care 🚗 Pickup & Drop-Off Available For your convenience, I can provide pickup and drop-off service for daycare or boarding appointments for an additional fee. This is perfect for busy schedules or early departures. 📸 Extra Peace of Mind I’m happy to send photo and video updates during your pet’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet is never "just a booking" to me—they become part of the family while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for everyone involved.. I currently work part-time from home, which provides a flexible schedule and ample time to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I ensure your pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, gated community with plenty of walking areas. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their specific needs, whether that includes crate training, extra supervision, or special care instructions. I can take dogs to a local dog park for exercise and socialization (if approved), and I always ensure pets feel secure and relaxed. I’m also happy to provide a cozy, loving environment—including plenty of cuddles and even letting your pet sleep nearby if that’s what they’re used to.

About: I’m an animal lover who has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you consider family! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your farm animals need feeding and care while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! My schedule is very flexible! I recently got my real estate license and currently work very part-time through a staffing agency when they need someone in the sales gallery. I’m able to choose which days I work, so I can easily work around pet and house-sitting schedules. I’m also up pretty early every morning and take my own dog to the park or on a long walk for at least an hour, so I’m very used to having an active morning routine with dogs. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day, along with another walk or outing in the evening. I can be flexible depending on what your pets are used to and need! I want you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always treat them like I would my own. I’m clean, responsible, and mindful about keeping doors, gates, and anything else secure, especially with animals that may be nervous or prone to getting out. I also understand that every animal is different, especially rescues, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine, boundaries, or special instructions you have. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I love all animals! Regardless of species. I currently have 8 years of experience caring for a variety of different animals. I started petsitting when I was twelve, most of my petsitting jobs and experience have been with dogs of a variety of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, as that is in the highest demand. I have had cats in my household most of my life and I'm comfortable working with birds, reptiles, rodents. etc. I also currently volunteer at an animal sanctuary where I work with horses, goats, chickens, pigs, etc. I'm currently an undergraduate student so my schedule fluctuates, but feel free to reach out and we can figure out a time that works best for you! - currently on summer break so my availability is more open :) ! All of my services are offered in client's homes. My care is dependent on the client's preferences for each individual pet, I like to alter my care to meet different needs depending on breed, energy-level, age, etc. Whether you'd like me to just keep your dog company at home, or make sure they get as much energy out as possible is up to you, I just want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away

About: So many dog walkers and sitters, how do you choose? I have been a dog trainer and handler for over 11 years. I am certified pet first aid and CPR.

This is not a loud and crowded facility where your dogs will sit by the gate in anticipation of your return and or have to wait for a place to rest or some attention. I also do have crates available if needed.

“Sydney was AMAZING! I had her check on my cats every day while I was away on a trip and she did a phenomenal job. She is so friendly, and so personable. It was so nice to have someone I trusted that I could rely on since my cats are my babies. She even noticed my trash cans were out and rolled them into my yard for me. I cannot recommend her enough!”

Although this was a short booking (only 2 visits) I was very impressed with Amy. She has a very warm and caring personality and our Buster took to her immediately! She left thorough reports for each visit. I could tell that she enjoyed taking care of and spending time with Buster. We will definitely be booking Amy for future trips!

I seriously cannot recommend Allison enough! She watched my two cats while we were away, and as a cat mom with very skittish cats, I was honestly nervous leaving them. My girl cat also needed medicine during the stay, and Allison handled everything so perfectly and carefully. What meant the most to me was that BOTH of my cats actually came up to her both days she watched them! which literally never happens with new people. It was such a huge relief and says everything about how calm, patient, and kind she is with animals. She was also incredibly flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and genuinely caring the entire time. I felt so reassured knowing my cats were comfortable with her and being so well taken care of. I would absolutely trust Allison to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, sweet, and amazing with pets🤍

This is the second time using Laura and she was just as wonderful as the first. She made drop in visits this booking and we were just as pleased as when she stayed overnight. We love that our very shy and cautious guy has already taken to trusting Laura, that is enough for us to know she is amazing. Laura sent us pictures on every and always responded very quickly to our texts. We love Laura, but more importantly our kitties love Laura.

Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats for 8 days. They both are shy and do not come out for strangers. She came twice a day to check on them made sure they had fresh food and water. Cleaned the litter box and updated me on any odd behavior. I will definitely hire her again on my next time away from home.

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
