About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds personally and professionally for more than 10 years. I am very comfortable around all kinds of animals. Growing up and through adulthood, my family always owned Golden Retrievers; there were always two dogs in the home at a time. When I was young, I expressed interest in animal care and owning my own pets. I cared for small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Currently, I own a four year old ball python named Dream. In my teenage years, I started out pet sitting for family friends and have continued to pick up pet/house sitting gigs whenever and wherever I can. I also have experience administering medication to some of the dogs and cats I have cared for. Professionally, I have worked at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility during the summer of 2013 and 2014. At this facility, I was responsible for the care and socialization of dogs of various sizes and demeanors. From May 2017 to January 2018, I worked at my local humane society caring for cats and dogs with different lead styles, temperaments and bite thresholds. I was also responsible for providing the dogs with three walks a day. Through this job, I also have some experience with clicker training and administering bordatella and rabies vaccines to incoming stray dogs. Looking to make extra money doing what I love! Unless otherwise noted on my calendar, I am available any time on Saturdays & Sundays, and depending on my full-time job schedule and your location, I am available during the week to do mid-day check ins, evening check-ins and walks. I am also open to staying at your place to care for your pets. I provide regular photos and updates to owners to build and instill trust. I also make sure to follow care instructions as written to ensure proper care as intended. And I make sure to bring a calm and confident energy when entering and inhabiting your pet’s space. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority!

“Krystal is amazing! She was super responsible and sent us pictures all day. We were running a few minutes late and she stayed until we got back so that my dog didn’t have to stay alone with the fireworks going off. Highly recommend!!”



“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”


About: We are a husband & wife team bringing 20 years experience with pets and farm animals. Training, showing, boarding, & administering meds to name a few. Big dog specialists! We can board your sweet pet 24/7. There is always someone home and very little time that your pet would be alone if even at all. Your furry family member would be walked, ran if needed, played with, and are couch and bed approved! We have an open floor plan, fenced yard, doggy pool, dog park in the neighborhood, short drive to the beach, and someone home almost always.

“Evan was super present and provided lots of pictures and feedback while taking care of our two older dogs. Managed their very different personalities well. He even hand fed our Pomeranian chihuahua when he refused to eat, and we came back to two happy pups. Highly recommend!”


“Rebecca has an infectious personality and Minnie and Little Bear warmed up to her immediately. You can feel the love Rebecca has for animals and the desire to take care of them when you meet her. This was the first time Rebecca has taken care of my fur babies and the experience was great. I will be using her services again in the near future.”


About: I have had dogs for most of my life. I have recently had to put my Staffordshire Bull Terrier down due to age and multiple growths on her body . I was devastated. I love animals and would like to share that love with them. I work full time, but I have so much down time on my hands and would like to offer my services to get the dog(s) out for walks and exercise/play. I currently work full time, but I have a lot of down time to come and play with your pups! Walks and exercise as well as a lot of love. I currently live in an apartment. As long as the dog (s) are potty trained, I can board them on the weekends. I am also able to transport them to a dog park for additional exercise.

“Geily did a great job house sitting with our dog and cat while we visited family out of state for a week. Followed all instructions, sent pictures, and left the house clean and tidy for our return.”


“I couldn't possibly say enough great things about Hannah! I have five dogs, none of them small - so I don't usually leave the house for the holidays because it's proven overwhelming for other sitters, but Hannah had no trouble! Thank you so much!!”


“Kevin was GREAT with my dogs! His girlfriend is also a Rover sitter so my dogs had the pleasure of being with them both. I received so many photos and videos. My dogs looked like they were smiling in the photos. And on my down time while away, when I started to think, “I wonder how the dogs are doing?”, I’d see they already texted me with an update. They were super responsive and helpful. We had requested house sitting and staying overnight with the dogs. Kevin brought in our mail, cleaned up any extra dog hair on the floor (my dogs shed ALOT) and they kept the house pristine. They took very good care of our home & our pups (and even fed our fish and watered our plants). I highly recommend!!”


About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. With experience caring for animals of all ages, I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies who need training reinforcement to senior pets requiring gentle care and medication administration. I pay close attention to routines, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s engaging playtime, maintaining feeding schedules, or keeping litter boxes and living areas spotless, I go the extra mile to ensure happy, healthy pets. I’m currently working a part time job and currently in school majoring in Education. I am Free Thursday-Sunday to take care of your loved one. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel secure and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment. I also monitor pets for any signs of stress or illness and provide updates to keep owners reassured. Safety is my top priority—I use secure leashes, keep toxic foods and items out of reach, and ensure a hazard-free space so pets can relax and enjoy their time with me.

“Ashley was a real blessing during our 10 day trip. I found her on Rover and initially was little hesitant to reach out for the lack of reviews and that’s why I’m writing this reviews so other people feel comfortable to hire her. Ashley took care of my babies like it was her own. She spend a lot of time with them and knew how to deal with a big dog that is not so easy on the walks and with all the arrangements that circle the life of an older dog with disabilities. She kept us posted with daily pictures and was supper accessible when needed. We will always hire Ashley from now on to take care of our babies while we are away!”
