“A great experience with Isabella from start to finish. I think our cats were bummed when we got home and it wasn't Isabella. Loved the visit notes and pictures. We will definitely be reaching out to her again. A+++”


“Tania was so helpful to us. She instantly bonded with our Freya. She provided some pets, a chance for a quick walk, and a bathroom opportunity while we were working. We will be so happy for her to help again in the future.”


“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be happier using Kristen! She gave thorough updates each visit and provided many pictures. She was more than accommodating with the weird schedule we had. I highly recommend Kristen and she even gave extra love to the additional indoor and outdoor animals (she was only responsible for one dog!). I am so glad to know we have someone to check on Rosie and the other animals during future travels. Thank you Kristen!!! 🫶🏽”

“Riley was so great and communicated with us the whole time. She showed up on time and had our dogs outside playing fetch, which they love so much! We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs her services and will be using her again in the future!”


About: My passion for pet care started early—I grew up with two Miniature Australian Shepherds who taught me just how much love, energy, and attention dogs need to thrive. Since then, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from spunky puppies to mellow seniors, and everything in between. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calm overnight stay, or just some extra snuggles, I adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pup like family, and pet parents trust me for both my reliability and the genuine care I bring to every visit. As a surgical trauma ICU nurse, I work night shifts, so my schedule can vary week to week. However, on my days off, I love spending time caring for pets—it’s a rewarding and relaxing way to recharge. My flexible schedule allows me to offer personalized, attentive care when I’m off the clock. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I make sure each pet gets the love and attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I treat every one like part of the family. In my home, your pup will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving environment with no other pets—perfect for dogs who need one-on-one attention or a quiet space. I have a fully fenced-in yard for supervised playtime and potty breaks, and I always follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s day-to-day life consistent—whether that’s their favorite walking route, feeding schedule, or bedtime routine. I’m all about clear communication and sending updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands.

About: I have years of experience with animals going back as far as 5 years old. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and even different types of birds. I've always loved teaching animals new tricks, cuddling, even watching them get the zoomies outside. Animals can be a lot of fun when you let them experience different environments and aspects of life. I also had a job at a pet boarding place. This consisted of being outside with the dogs in runs, playing with them, cleaning the rooms and more. I have 2 dogs at home. One boxer and one german shepard. I work a lot so when i'm home I try to spend as much time with them as I can when I am home. One of the things my german shepard likes to do is chase water from the hose, so during the summer time, we do that a lot. On the other hand, Tyson is a little bit older but he still gets the zoomies, he likes to playfully growl outside but then when he's done, he likes to sun bathe lol. To include all this, I also have 2 guinea pigs who need lots of attention. I try to bring them out of the cage by 1 everyday to spend quality time with them because they're very loving. They enjoy being outside and eating the clover, they sure do appreciate when they get their veggies! They need their nails trimmed about once a week so I do keep up with that. Bathing them isn't a high priority since they just like cats and bathe themselves but a bath once every 3-4 months will be perfect. Our dog tyson, tends to get scared of storms really easily, so when this happens I try to comfort him as much as possible wether that's putting on his jacket, letting him up on my bed because he's scared and needs some cuddles.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old! My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and love their 4 legged family members for years. I can ensure you, your pet is in good hands! I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I usually have no meetings before 11am, and am off of work every day by 5pm, sometimes earlier. I am flexible for your pets needs and can accommodate a variety of schedules! My husband and I have a fenced in backyard with 2 dogs - a goldendoodle and an aussiedoodle - that will keep your fur baby company! Walks are enjoyed in our household daily! We feed our dogs 2 times a day, morning and evening, with lots of snuggles and the occasional treats in between.

About: I will take care of any pet. I have taken care of cats and dogs but have no animal limits. I will make your your pets are happiest! Pet care is currently my full time job. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.

About: I have always enjoyed taking care of animals! I've loved everyone ive laid my eyes on! I promise to take great care of you and your babies! Im currently working a 2-2-3 schedule- so my work does very from week to week but is consistent. I have every other weekend off, but I also have at least 2-3 days off during the week as well. I have a fenced in yard, I also have 4 fur babies myself. 3 of which stay outside in kennels- 1 that stays inside with me! They are all friendly and love company!

About: I’ve taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, kittens, parrots, and farm animals since 2015. I was also able to pet sit while studying abroad in Australia. I’m currently working full time and attending school, but some classes are online and I have flexibility with my job so I am able to work remotely from home. Safety is important, leads only come off in-doors or inside fenced in areas. Pets are handled with care and I am always mindful of their comfort in various environments.

Daiana B.
“Daiana Blanco is an AMAZING pet sitter and is amazing to all sorts of animals! She sheltered a stranded Dog until it found a new home which was with me. She found this puppy extremely malnourished on the side of the road and brought him back to extraordinary health in less than a month. 3 days a week when I’m not home she comes just to check on him to make sure he’s still doing great. She will even play with my Parakeet and make sure he isn’t lonely. I recommend Daiana to any person trying to have any of their pets sat because they will be in good hands and great care.”


Aubrey A.
“Aubrey is one of the most loving and dedicated people I’ve ever met towards both people and animals (especially animals). She has looked after my dogs on multiple occasions and never fails to prioritize efficient communication, excellent time-management, and an exceptional passion for what she does. As someone who loves their fur-babies more than anything, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


Yenifer A.
“I can’t express how grateful I am for the love and care Yenifer gave my chihuahuas. It’s never easy leaving them behind, but she made me feel completely at peace. She treated them like her own, and I could truly see how happy and comfortable they were. Her kindness, attention, and warmth meant the world to me. I’d trust her with my babies any time. Thank you again, Yenifer.”

Alyssa W.
“I can't recommend my daughter highly enough for anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog walker or dog sitter for overnights. Alyssa had 2 Miniature Australian Shephard's while she was growing up, so she is very used to some high energy dogs. Our friends who have had her dog sit would also call her the "dog whisper" as their dogs just LOVE her! Alyssa is reliable, patient, and very attentive to the unique needs of each dog. Whether it is with high energy pups or older dogs who need just some extra love - she is there for them!! Your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for each and every step of the way.”
