About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science college student on the verge of graduation, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently doing clinical hours voluntarily and not a set schedule so I’m available currently Monday-Friday anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.

About: Hi I'm Kate! I recently moved to JBMDL. I am a military spouse with base access. I grew up with a Maltese, and a Bernese mountain dog & Great Pyrenees mix.

I know that all dogs have different needs and I love meeting new and unique dogs. I treat all dogs with the love and care that I do my own dogs. :) Whether it is a walk, a potty break, or sitting I'm the girl for the job. I am a remote worker that creates my own schedule so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I can't wait to make your rover.com experience as great as possible!

“Amber always takes great care of our pets and home.”


Jacqueline J.
“We’re beyond grateful to Jackie for taking such great care of our dog, Daisy, and our home while we were away. Daisy is 5 years old and a bit of a nervous pup, so we’re always a little anxious about leaving her—but Jackie was truly incredible. She was so gentle and patient with Daisy, giving her all the time and space she needed to feel safe. It didn’t take long before Daisy was happily cuddling on the couch and showing off her favorite spots around the house. Jackie even brought her a toy, which was such a thoughtful touch, and made sure she had plenty of snuggles and quiet companionship—just the way Daisy likes it. We got regular updates and sweet photos that made us smile and feel totally at ease. When we came home, Daisy was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. The house was also spotless, and everything was exactly as we left it. We’d absolutely recommend Jackie to anyone—especially if your pet needs a little extra TLC. Daisy can’t wait for her next visit!”

Lauren W.
“I've known Lauren for several years, and I can honestly say she is one of the most compassionate and responsible people when it comes to animals. She has worked as a dog groomer, so she not only has experience handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, but also a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Lauren treats every pet like her own, always showing kindness, patience, and attention to detail. Whether it's going for walks, feeding, grooming, or just giving lots of love and belly rubs, she goes above and beyond. I would trust her with any of my pets without hesitation. She’s truly a natural when it comes to animal care, and anyone who books her on Rover will be lucky to have her!”


Patty D.Star Sitter

“Patty has been awesome with our pups! Working with both of our dogs that have very different energy levels hasn’t seemed to be an issue, will continue to re-book!”


Teresa T.
“I’ve known Teresa for six years, and in that time, she’s become one of my closest friends—a thoughtful, dependable, and all-around wonderful person. She's an incredible mom and wife, and the kind of friend who shows up for you (and brings snacks). When it comes to animals, Teresa just gets them. She has a calm, loving energy that animals naturally gravitate toward; I've seen it in action more times than I can count! Whether it's walking a high energy dog, maintaining a schedule, training or just giving extra cuddles & love, she handles it all with care and a good sense of humor (which, let’s be honest, is necessary when you’re dealing with pets). 😆 If I had to leave my pet in someone else's hands, Teresa would be at the top of my list. She's responsible, kind, and truly treats animals like family. Rover clients would be lucky to have her! 🫶🏼”
