About: I have taken care of dogs — my own and clients’ — for over ten years. I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I am well versed in administering medication, creating specialized meals, playing with/walking the dog, and everything else that a furry friend could possibly need. I am seeking part-time work so my schedule is subject to change, but I am currently available to drop in or walk a dog nearly any day or time. I am consistently busy on Wednesdays at 4pm but can work around that! I take care to ensure the environment the pet is staying in is clean, organized, and set up for their success. I will always double-check that doors are locked where/when they need to be and make sure that there is constantly water available (and food if that is within the pet’s care). I will make educated decisions with the client to make sure the environment stays safe, whether that be changing the temperature of the home or removing a toy that has been torn open.
“Emily is a rock star pet sitter! She’s very thorough and truly treats my animals like her own. Highly recommend her to help take care of animals.”
“We are so happy to have found Debra! She was so great with our dog, Remy, and we will certainly use her services again! She is responsive, timely, polite and is a true dog lover. We felt at ease on our vacation knowing he was in great hands with Debra checking on him while we were away.”

Eli has taken great care of my dogs-a 95 pound lab who doesn’t understand her size and a 20 pound cheweenie with a bit of an attitude. My dogs require medications and Eli administers them as instructed. Eli is meticulous with the care of my dogs. My dogs LOVE when Eli comes. I highly recommend Eli for the care of your pets!”

North pet parents share their Rover experiences
Great with our 2 dogs! Gave updates and sent lots of pictures! Dogs loved playing, could see it in the photos they were completely comfortable and having a great time! Will use again!
We had a great experience with Mariah! She was super responsive from the start, which gave us a lot of piece of mind. She made sure our Tilley had plenty of play time, bell rubs and kept us updated throughout the visits. We came home to happy girl, well-cared. Couldn’t ask for more!
We are repeat customers for a few years and Ashley is phenomenal. She is attentive, professional, reliable, and communicative. Ashley always eases my nerves about leaving our fur babies when we are away
We always trust Brittany to take care of our kitties! They love her and are always happy to see her! We’ve used her for both short and long trips away and she communicates everything with us! Highly recommend!
Trisha was great! New to the area and was skeptical to leave my 5 year old cat in the care of someone new but Trisha is incredibly trustworthy, reassuring, responsive, and attentive to the small details. Would highly recommend and use again!
This is our second time with Thais for our two cats while we are on vacation. She is so wonderful! She is prompt with responses and thorough with the visits. We could not recommend her enough!
Lauren went above and beyond! Could not recommend her enough. She brought new toys, provided thoughtful updates, took great photos, and loved on our girl. Thank you Lauren!
Emily was amazing! First time using Rover, so we were a little apprehensive, but Emily was amazing. I received multiple photos each time she visited with the dogs. I highly recommend Emily!
Matthew was absolutely great. He followed every instruction to the letter, took excellent care of my cat Dabi, and even made time to play with him. I could tell he genuinely cared. Very trustworthy, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommended!
This was my first time using Rover and I’m so impressed. Amanda was wonderful. She was prompt and easy to communicate with. She sent the sweetest photo updates after each visit. Pippa looked so happy like she didn’t even miss us! Will definitely book with her again.
She took great car of 4 cats, 1 dog, 1 bunny and 6 koi and did a great job with all! We’ll definitely use Nicole again next time we’re all going to be gone again.
Justin was awesome!! Super responsive and took great care of our pup!! Would absolutely use him again and couldn’t recommend more!
We had Stacy come over for a couple drop in visits to check in on our cat. She was great! Easy to communicate with and she took some really cute pictures as well!
Debra is amazing! Great communication, wonderful demeanor with our dogs and most importantly, our dogs are were so well cared for!
Katherine is great!! She was super easy to communicate with, timely, and treated my pup with love! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of my girl! We will be using Katherine again for sure! Highly recommend!
Tina dropped it to take care of our cat for several days when we were on vacation. She is super friendly and reliable and sent great photos and updates each day!
Grace was amazing as always. She really cares about the fur babies and creates her own bond with them.
Emily was very responsive and friendly. She checked in for each visit and sent me photo updates. We will hire her again.
Sarah is a wonderful, gentle person that is so good with my dogs. She is patient and thoughtful and communicates well! She responds immediately to any of my questions and gives me details on how they are doing during her visit. She is excellent and I will definitely use her again!
I have absolutely do not know where to start when it comes to Kiona. She was so amazing with our dog. She was flexible, available and most importantly kind! Kiona came right in when my family had to go out of town unexpectedly and handled everything for our German shepherd as if she’s been apart of our lives forever. Definitely can’t wait to have her over again this summer when we go out of town. We never really traveled before due to not wanting to leave our fur son. But knowing we have the best doggy babysitter in town opens up our possibilities. Just know your fur baby is in good hands with her!!
