“Kathryn is amazing! She was available for a last minute change to our schedule.. She brought our mail in...sifted the litter box... And gave our kitties their wet food! Highly recommend”


“Amanda was the first rover experience I had; she has a lot of dog experience and was very friendly! I booked her very last minute and she was willing to meet with me and have flexibility for my needs. She came the next day to care for our new puppy, sent notes, and was willing to answer any of my questions about our first day apart from the puppy. I look forward to using her dog boarding services in the future.”


“Stacie was awesome, she took really GREAT care of my kitties. We've only had them 3 months and didn't know what to do. We were so glad to have found someone so caring of animals. Loved the selfies, we would use her again. Thank you so much!!!!”


“Peggy was amazing, she was very understanding on how we want the two boys to be walked the commands they must listen to.

She is very kind enough to clean up after the little guy pees cuz he gets so happy to see her:)”


“Sarah was wonderful! She treated our dogs so well and kept in touch throughout. The updates were great! As an anxious pet parent, it was very comforting to see what they were up to. I can’t thank her enough for treating our dogs like her own and being so kind.”


“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”

About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

“i cannot say enough good things about Lisa. She is always available when I need her, punctual and pleasant. I didn't mention dependable and trustworthy which is very important to me. My dogs love her!”


About: As an owner of a senior puppy-mill-rescued beagle, I'm familiar with some of the difficulties some pets may face in their day to day lives. Pet solutions aren't just one size fits all- and adapting my care style to fit your pet's goals and personality is my specialty. From high energy play sessions to long naps in the yard, I look to give your pet the best experience I can. I'm currently working part time, but my hours are fairly flexible. I have open availabilities on weekdays, specifically mornings, but if your pet needs a little extra attention, I'm more than happy to make more room! I'm available for dog walking, daily visits, and overnight stays for any pet that may need a friend while their main person is away. With over 3 years of professional pet experience (and many more years of being a dog owner) I believe your furry friends deserve the highest care and attention when their people are away. I have experience in dog walking, medicine distribution, behavior analysis, and animal enrichment and engagement. My experience working in an animal shelter gives me a wide view of the different perspectives and angles that care can show up in.

About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I also pet sit for friends and family while they are away on trips. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so I am off during the summers. I do tutor but am happy to work with you to see what times will work best for us and your pets :) I am more than happy to play with your pets inside (and outside if able) your home, crate if necessary and take walks as needed.

“Victoria has been great with Sierra. She was able to make a very shy 4 month old puppy feel comfortable and happy right away. Now Sierra gets so excited when Victoria comes to let her out, walk her and play with her. Communication has been great and she’s always on time to let Sierra out. Looking forward to Sierra having a long-term loving pet sitter.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since we got our first family dogs when I was 8 years old. Justin & Feisty were my first dogs and they were truly the light of my life from such a young age. I have experience with senior dogs as well from my time dog sitting for one of my neighbors. I love puppies and make sure to take them out constantly so that they learn that potty training is a serious business. I'm fairly active and love taking long walks and getting my exercise in, it would be fun to have a furry friend join be from time to time! I'm currently working in data analytics Monday-Friday from 9-5. Outside of that, I'm pretty free. I work from home one day out of the week and I am pretty free on the weekends as well. I am open to do night walks and morning walks as well. I keep a very clean space and love cuddling with pups on my furniture. I stay in a very close knit community at a Condo! There are other dogs around and there is a dog park connected to my community as well. There are plenty of places to walk around in my neighborhood and plenty of grassland as well. Pets are open to freely walk around in my home and are free to jump on furniture if it pleases them! I like to stay active and go on walks, however, I also love to stay in relax and catch up on some shows.

“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”
