About: I'm new to the pet service job, but I've owned two dogs since they were puppies. I have visited cats to clean their boxes and play with them, on behalf of friends that went away. I'm currently unemployed doing part-time jobs, so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and don't mind playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.
“Destiny was absolutely wonderful. I just got home from my weekend trip and found Kylo like I’d never left him :) Her communication is 10/10. Pictures and check ins were 10/10. She even took the time to come meet us before my trip. I hope she continues doing this because I can’t imagine having anyone else but Destiny.”
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I bring years of personal experience and a lifelong passion for animal care. I’ve grown up with animals and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities from playful puppies and senior dogs to cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. As a proud dog mom to a husky and a shepherd mix, I’ve learned that patience (and a sense of humor!) goes a long way. I have a solid understanding of basic training and commands, and I’m passionate about creating a calm, loving space where every pet feels safe and cared for. Currently my schedule is open and flexible to helping your furry friends whether it’s just for a walk and extra play time or an extended visit. Feel free to message me to set up a meet and greet! Whether you have a playful pup who needs regular exercise or a cuddly cat who craves companionship, I'm here to provide reliable and loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Nisha is a terrific sitter! She does a great job taking care of my cat when I'm away. I never have to worry when I'm away on business because she's reliable, communicates well, leaves my place clean, and most importantly, my cat likes her! I can't recommend her enough! Thanks Niesha!”
About: I have many years experience of pet care from ownership to boarding to walks. I’m an outdoors womanI love all animals and will treat your pets like family because that’s what they are. I am retired and want to dedicate my free time to do what I love most. Spending time and caring for animals. I also know how to teach dogs some tricks they may not know yet. In the end you can rest well and know your pet will be safe with me. Your pet will have 1 on 1 time with me. If needed your pet will not have to be around other pets if that makes them uncomfortable. I understand that some animals don’t like to share their humans and can not coexist with other animals. I am an animal free home. Most of my lifelong experience has been with corgis and Australian shepherd’s although I’ve cared for many different breeds. I am always available for FaceTime during their stay. I don’t mind sending pictures and videos daily either I am retired and have an open schedule to dedicate my time to your pets. I love walking at all the different parks and bringing the pups with me to explore. I also have a pet friendly lake close by. If your dog is a swimmer i will gladly take them weather permitting. During their stay i will also have field trips to the dog park and other locations if you’re okay with me driving with your pet. I have 3 acres of property for your pet to explore. All my plants are pet safe. I don’t use any chemicals that are harmful in or outside my home. Over an acre is fenced in for your pet to run freely. On hot days I have baby pools i can fill up for your pet to play in. If your pet is a swimmer i have a beautiful pet friendly lake within 5 miles of my home and love to take them to swim. I also have several dog parks close by. When transporting your pet i have pet seatbelts for your pet’s safety. My home is extremely clean inside and out. Most importantly I will always have my eyes on your pet. They will not be left alone.

Jennifer P.
“I was so nervous leaving my pup for the 1st time. I had a family emergency and had no choice. My father was dying and Jen was so comforting and I Iwas able to leave with a clear head. I have a Frenchie that is very shy. She took to Jen right away. They say animals know right? She offers many options for food and I decided to treat chalie to a sirloin meal with rice. Chalie is 11/2 and we were training her to not be on the furniture so Jen followed that instruction along with others. Chalie loves to be on his own off leash and her huge property was perfect for that! She even took him to a couple dog parks. I received daily updates with pictures, videos and texts. She was willing to FaceTime also that way chalie could see and hear me. When i came home i was so overwhelmed with my father’s passing that she offered to drop him off. I was so thankful for that! If you’re looking for someone that will treat your dog like family Jen is the one! Don’t hesitate to book her.”

Heather W.
“Heather has been nothing short of perfect with my three dogs (a yellow lab, a bernedoodle, and an adopted mixed breed). They all adore her and get so excited when she comes to visit. She is also a wonderful parent to her own dog, Peanut, a Staffordshire bull terrier who has a heart condition. He was not expected to live past three years old but he just recently turned eight which I think is a real testament to how loved and well taken care of he is.”

Storm B.
“I’ve known Storm around animals for a decade, and it’s clear she’s got a natural instinct for them. She’s looked after my F1 Savannah cat along with a blue tongued skink, and both thrived under her watch. Not many people can handle high energy cats and reptiles with the same ease, but she makes it look effortless. Storm has a calm presence that wins animals over, and she’s consistent, dependable, and genuinely invested in their well being. Leaving pets with her doesn’t feel like handing them off it feels like they’re staying with family.”

Sandra Z.
