About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

About: I have had experience with dogs for over 5 years. I show personalized attention to each pet's unique needs. My patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals guarantees a happy and safe environment. Since I usually babysit from 3-7 PM, taking care of pets works out great in the mornings and evenings. I'm free to give them walks, play, and feed them before and after. Unfortunately I don’t not take in any pets into my home. Since I currently live with my parents, siblings and my own cats and dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18! Friends and family have relied on me to feed, play, and walk their dogs when needed! I also have a 16 year old Shih Tzu at home and work for a pet supply company. I am mainly available on weekends. I work a full time job until 5pm on weekdays, but can walk, play or feed after 5:30pm most weekdays! I will make sure the dog is leashed when walking at all times and that doors are closed when indoors. I will make sure the water bowl is full and fed if instructed to do so!

About: Over the past five years, my experience in pet care has been extensive and diverse, encompassing various aspects of animal health, nutrition, behavior, and general well-being. I love animals, I've always had pets growing up and i'll take great care of your pet I am free the majority of the week, mornings, afternoon, and evenings. So please reach out to me and we can schedule the best date. As an experienced pet owner myself, your pet's safety is my top priority. I will keep constant communication with owners and let them know how they're doing.

About: I have a natural instinct for taking care of animals and I have cared for family and friends pets. Knowledgeable and committed to loving care. I am a college student available during evenings and morning time with weekends being open for sitting, walking, and drop-ins. Flexible and will answer quickly. In the future I will be offering boarding and your pets will be comfortable, happy, and have lots of room to play in my yard.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and I love animals I have 4 dogs of my own and treat my dogs really well. I am currently working a full time week job but I have days that I am free that I’m willing to take care of other dogs I have a big back yard with a fenced in kennel for the dogs to run around and play as long as a little pool for them to drink and cool down

About: I rescued my black lab 10 years ago on my own, and have groomed in and assisted in veterinary hospitals in the past. I grew up with a dog and cats and love most all animals. I used to be a veterinary assistant for a few years before covid, and I have good friends who work in veterinary medicine as doctors! I love to learn as much as I can in that field as well. I am fully available to care and love your animals- I do get booked up a few weeks in advance for house sittings, but I can accommodate to all I am able to for you and your pets as often as I can I will regularly take the animals outside, walk them; let them play outside, give them treats, cuddle on the couch together (if they’re allowed on furniture) and feed them as needed I am happy to provide as much care and service to you and your pets as often as you need it, and whenever I am physically able to be there to care for them for you! For house sittings, I give the animals under my care as much exercise and outdoor time as possible- the houses with fenced in backyards allow both your pets and myself to stay outdoors with one another for a longer period of time in a safer environment. I love to lounge around the house and get to know your fur babies, especially during my first few times of interacting with them, just to establish care and trust during this time. As both the animals and I become more familiar with one another during more bookings, I would be very open to exploring with them, going for drives together, and taking them on hikes and adventures with me, especially during stays where I am at your house for a few days at a time.

About: My goal was to become a vet, so I’ve already taken special care to understand the needs of the indivisible pet in my care. I’ve been the first choice when it comes to watching people’s pets for a long time now. I love them like my own :) As a part time student, Rover is a great way to schedule during the time I’m not in school so I can give your pet the undivided attention they deserve. I have a fenced in yard, and a sweet pup of my own that would absolutely adore the company of another dog! They’d have a blast.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Currently have two dogs, one is 13 and the other is 5. Both very well trained so they don’t need a leash and they don’t pee in the house, they are also super friendly ! Also always have energy to play with the dogs in the park and let them run around ! They also love car rides so I do that pretty often. I currently work overnights from 2am - 10:30am so I am free throughout the day. Although weekends are possible we just have to discuss it beforehand. Would prefer if you brought the dogs food or certain treats they eat. Mine are picky so I guess yours might be too. Your rules I just follow them. My dogs usually eat twice a day and get treats after every walk.

Stacey K.
“To Whom it May Concern: I have had 2 dogs over the last 20 years in which Stacey has walked, fed and taken the utmost care of while I was away. She has proven to be an animal lover and I know I can trust her with my pets as they are a vital part of my family. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or a dog walker or actually any animal that would need care and concern as that owner could rest assured their pet would be in the best of hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter/walker as you will not have any worries whatsoever.”

Vanessa R.
“I used Vanessa to petsit my two dogs for the past 2 years. When it came to me going away leaving my dogs with just anyone was not something I wanted to do. I travel a lot through the year either for business or just vacation and unfortunately can’t bring my pets. Vanessa is such an amazing pet sitter. She truly loves my dogs and my dogs always love to see her. She shows love and care to my dogs and it truly shows. Vanessa is a big animal lover and such a sweet and kind person. I absolutely wouldn’t recommend anyone else other than her. If I could rate my experience with her it would be more than a 10/10.”


Rebecca Z.
“She is one of the most caring and responsible pet professional I have ever met. The amount of attention that she gave to the animals in her care was extraordinary. I was able to see from the start that taking care of animals is less of a job, and more of a passion for her. I am so happy we connected through Rover.”
