“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”


About: Im new too Rover, but I have around 2 years of experience caring for dogs while being in college through helping friends and family! During that time I’ve helped feeding, walking, playtime, and sometimes overnight care if they were going on vacation. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their dogs are being cared for with intention and love. 😊 I’m currently free for the summer so I have very flexible availability until my classes start up again in August! I would prefer to walk in the mornings due to Vegas heat being too hot for little paws but I am open to whatever is needed About once or twice a week I help take care of my grandparents dog on various days when they need me they are retired so every couple of months they go on cruises and I am usually the one who stays at their house to care for their dog
“Grace left our house clean and took good care of our pup. He was super happy for us to be back. She stayed in touch with us, which made it easier to leave him!”

“Keisha is an excellent dog sitter! She kept me informed with frequent pictures and texts. I felt very confident that our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her! Carolyn Parmelee”

“Olivia did an amazing job! She took wonderful care of my pup and kept him excellent company, kept me in the loop, and sent a lot of pictures. My dog had a great time with her and I would absolutely hire her again!”

“Poly is fantastic with Dutch! I’ve had her sit twice for me now, and Dutch seems to love having her around! Would definitely recommend Poly! She’s great with updates, and has been a great help to me!”

“We had a very smooth and pleasant time working with Maranda! We met with her prior to her stay with our dog Sadie and she was very thoughtful and helpful and asked questions we hadn't even thought of. During the stay she was in contact with us with pictures and updates that we greatly appreciated! Sadie was able to get out of the house a lot and experience things she normally wouldn't, which we think was really good for her. Not only was she watching our dog but she made sure our house was looked after and did a great job. Would definitely recommend!”

“I cannot write enough good things about Karma - if I could give her 10 stars, I'd give her 20. She was very prompt with communication, managed our crew of cats and dog with a ton of updates and photos and even kept my huge garden happy during another Vegas heat wave. I would happily recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets, and already feel so much more relaxed for our next trip, knowing that Karma will be here to love on our babies for us. Thank you so so so much!! 💜”

“Naidalys was great with our dogs (3 month old, one year old, and a 15 year old. She sent plenty of updates to know that she and the dogs were getting along just fine. Strong recommend.”
“Kelly was fantastic! She stayed at our house for 3 nights and watched our 17 year old siamese kitty Molly while we were out of town for the holidays. Kelly was quick to respond to every message and sent us lots of great photos and videos. Molly was very relaxed when we came home which is a clear sign of a good cat sitter. Highly recommend Kelly for your pets!”

“Sharon did an amazing job taking care of our dog Ramsay for 8 days over the Christmas holiday. He was relaxed and happy with Sharon’s care, and even allowed to sleep along side her at night; which is his normal routine. He is a very ball obsessed guy, and she kept him entertained by cooperating with his game!! She sent us many fun pictures, that we enjoyed so much! We highly recommend Sharon for the care of your fur babies!!”

“Adam was very professional and caring for princess. He made sure to send videos/pictures. He also communicates any changes or questions he has effectively. While on vacation he assured us that she was in good hands. That in itself was a relief. I will definitely be requesting his services again for our little princess.”

About: More than just a lifestyle, the ability to communicate with pets is a genuine gift, one I'm grateful to have. There's a certain magnetic connection some individuals share with animals, and I count myself among them. Treating them with respect opens the door to profound understanding and response. The deep bonds I've nurtured with my own and my friends' beloved animals are a testament to this. The thought of the symbiotic relationship between humans and pets fills me with joy. The simple pleasures of running, walking, and playing together highlight this beautiful connection. In a world that often demands human connection, the unique bond we share with our pets offers something truly special and essential. It's a mutual need, a reciprocal love that enriches both our lives. Being a graduate student on summer break means my scheduling is very flexible and I'm readily available.
