Alexis took great care of our three dogs. She is attentive and noticed a wound that I forgot to tell her about on one of them and engaged with me about it. She stopped by as requested for multiple play times and to feed the dogs.

We absolutely loved having Tia watch our cats. Her updates were so thorough, she played with our cats, and sent many pictures per visit. She even accommodated our shy cat by feeding her under the bed. This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. Thank you so much Tia!!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I would be honored to care for your pet friends! I currently have two sweet cats that I adore, and I frequently watch my family’s Havanese dog. I also have experience pet sitting and walking larger dogs, so I am comfortable with pets of all sizes. I have experience working with all ages, from helping with puppy and kitten training to providing gentle care to elderly pets. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. My pets have big personalities, so I understand pets’ unique quirks and am happy to follow any special routines. Just let me know how I can help! My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My Rover calendar is up to date with my availability, so don’t hesitate to reach out for any pet sitting, dog walking, or drop in visits. During visits, I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, litter box care, or walks. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always respect my clients’ homes while providing loving, reliable care.

About: Hi doggie parents! I’m a reliable and compassionate dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. Growing up around pets, I learned early on how much love, patience, and attention they need. One of my favorite memories is helping take care of my sister’s dog whenever she needed an extra hand. I spent time walking, feeding, and playing with him, and that experience showed me how rewarding it is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved when their owners are away. I’m usually available through out the week days early morning for doggy day care or dog walks and I’m available for boarding anytime depending on your needs I have a fenced in yard and I spend time with any dog I take care of like their my own I take them for walks and I also play with them and my son do as well since he loves dogs too

Gabi was very responsive and left our kitties with plenty of food. Our one cat even allowed her to get a picture of him, which never happens with strangers. I would highly recommend Gabi.

About: I am detail oriented, professional, and reliable. I provide personalized, attentive pet care—never a one-size-fits-all approach. Every animal has their own personality and needs, so I tailor their routine to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins (unless you prefer otherwise) so you always feel connected and reassured while you're away. I currently work on base, therefore, I am primarily available evenings and weekends, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s schedule. With enough notice, I can often adjust my availability when needed, but usually work 7-4. I follow all owner instructions closely, whether it’s walk schedules, fenced-yard playtime, crate routines, furniture rules, or how your pet is to be left when I’m out. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: I have been caring for dogs since the age of 12, gaining hands-on experience through regularly dog sitting for neighbors in my community. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in maintaining consistent routines, including daily walks, feeding schedules, and overall care. In addition, I have successfully trained my own dog, demonstrating patience, responsibility, and an understanding of canine behavior. I am currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and will be starting my master’s program this summer. With a gap between graduation and the start of my program, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog I take pride in being a trustworthy and respectful guest in my clients’ homes. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your home and pet are well cared for at all times.

Hannah is awesome and so good with our animals! They warmed up to her right away, even our super shy kitty. She is very thorough and not afraid to ask questions to make sure the animals are taken care of perfectly. She was very patient and easy going after we had some issues with getting her in the house. Will definitely be my go to sitter for my fur babies from now on.
