Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!

Today was my dog’s first solo walk with Shanisa and I couldn’t be happier! Shanisa and I worked extensively with my dog to get him comfortable with her because he is usually very wary of strangers. He warmed up to Shanisa quickly and was comfortable with her in our home just by themselves. I now have more freedom and less worry knowing my dog will be safe and cared for when I cannot be home.

100% recommend! Joseph was my first Rover experience, and couldn’t ask for a better walker! Thorough communication throughout the entire process and was patient and understanding with my dog who was still shaky around new people. He took his time and gained her trust. Can’t wait to hire Joseph again!

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: Hello! My name is Hope. Although I have been taking care of animals all my life, my experience really began almost four years ago, when I started taking animal/veterinary science classes in high school. Since then, I have taken care of hundreds of dogs, cats, exotics, and barn animals through my experience in school and working for a boarding facility. These animals include pets of many different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. These pets also include ones with special needs and/or medication. I have a veterinary assistant certification from the AVMA, and am studying veterinary technology in college. This past year, I have worked with hundreds of dogs and cats, and have gotten to see now more than ever the unique personalities that shine through every animal! I love animals, and every animal I care for feels like my own. I'm a part-time worker who is taking a semester off from college, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm available for pet care anytime, any day, with occasional exceptions. In my past four years of animal care, I have learned that attention to detail is extremely important when it comes to safety. I do everything in my power to never miss a health concern. To put your mind at ease, I will always be ready to give updates and photos so you can see how your furbaby is doing. When looking after your pet, I want to be sure that they are as comfortable as they possibly can be. I make it a goal to provide extra love and enrichment, so that their time away from you is stress-free.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs which taught me from an early age the responsibility and care that goes into looking after pets. I have two dogs: Molly & Zeus! Two rescues whom I love so much and follow me around like little shadows! I also have a gray tabby cat named Gin! I love my little trio! A few years ago, I also worked for a local pet care company where I traveled to care for both dogs and cats. I have experience administering insulin injections and oral medications, as well as providing daily care such as walks, playtime, brushing, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks while owners are away, including bringing in mail and putting trash cans out. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will care for your four-legged family exactly how I would want someone to care for mine! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have very open availability through May 31, 2026, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and daytime visits. After that, I will continue offering flexible availability with more evening availability during weekdays and open availability on weekends. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to work with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs! I will follow all instructions provided to ensure your pet’s routine is kept consistent and comfortable while you’re away. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks, playtime, and any medications as directed. Most importantly, I will give them plenty of love, attention, and patience, and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Brianna was an amazing intro to Rover! I have an extremely nervous dog and she was quick to respond to my request, reassure me and explain her experience with nervous shelter dogs. We set up a meet and greet and went forward with the booking. Line behold, she was able to do what no one but myself is normally capable of… walking my dog!!! Even my roommate was impressed!! Thank you Brianna from the bottom of my heart. We will definitely be using your services again!!!
