About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.”


About: I'm a dog mom of 2 bull Terriers. Have had several different breeds my entire life. I love them all and enjoy each and every one of them! I currently work a full time 8-5 job. Looking to eventually take care of animals full time! This is part time for me at the moment. I will take care of your babies just as I would my own. I have several references on my care for my animals and theirs. I'm honest and caring.

About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.

“Great! I needed a dog walker unexpectedly and she responded immediately and walked my (very hard to manage) large puppy. I got a nice picture of my sweet and worn out puppy after her walk.”


“A kind, communicative, and thorough pet sitter. She did a great job with my cat’s drop-in visits during the week and I had no issues. Attentive and did what I asked plus more! I’d recommend Heavyn-Ley.”


About: Throughout my years I have taken care of a variety of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, skinks, and many more. Throughout this time with these loving animals I have learned so many valuable tools regarding pet care. Some include safe/healthy treats, handling, working with behavioral issues, knowledge regarding toxic household plants, exercise needs, and more. My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for your beloved family member. I am currently a nursing student therefore, I am unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to college. However, weekdays and weekends aside from these dates I am free to provide loving care to your animals past 1pm. Regarding my yard, I live next to a residential four way stop. I possess a spacious fenced in side yard followed by an open area on the other side composed of thick trees for dogs that love to explore. If you feel your dog needs to be crated, I also have options available for this.

About: I come from a “pet family” and I’ve cared for almost every pet imaginable! I have particular strength with large breed dogs of all ages! Equipped with puppy, as well as elder care. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I have recently lost my too elderly dogs and have plenty of love and supplies left over! I have large crates, training pads, bowls, leashes, toys, treats etc. There is plenty of space in the house and yard, including a full basement.

About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.

Angie M.
“If you're looking for someone that will love and care for your pet the way that you do, Angie is your girl! I have always been so hesitant to leave my dogs in the care of other people but when I found Angie I just knew it was the perfect fit! My two wild dogs love her so much and I know she loves them just as much. I trust Angie with my dogs and my home whenever I am stuck at a long day of work or out of town on vacation. 5 out of 5 stars isn't enough of a rating for her, I give her a 10!”

Mercy M.
“I’ve known her for quite a long while now and seen many different sides and no matter what, our dog is something she is always making sure to have cared for. She properly trained and re-nourished a very weak and vulnerable dog and turned him to a healthy, muscular, loving companion that we are always making more & more progress with. Whilst being around my cats she is still the sweetest and most loving, even usually going out of her way to buy them their favorite wet foods & treats & such. She’s an amazing, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver to animals of all types, as long as it’s an animal, she’ll love it & care for it with kindness.”


Marica G.
“Marica is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her stay with Buster again. It's great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for.”


Julia M.
“Julia is an awesome caretaker for our pets, but we only had dogs and cats. She told us all about her extensive experience pet sitting for other clients who had chickens, llamas, fish, goats, sheep, bearded dragon and horses. She’s capable, caring and loving with all her clients. She’s excellent in every situation that she had to deal with.”
