About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, but my first pup, Carter, truly taught me what it means to be a devoted dog owner. Now with my corgi, Moose, I’m constantly reminded how rewarding it is to care for and advocate for our furry friends. Since I was nine, I’ve loved walking, playing, grooming, and cuddling dogs. I’ve watched my relatives’ pups countless times and always make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Dogs are loyal, adorable family members & I’ll treat yours like one of my own! I work full-time, but I work remotely Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I get home from work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30pm. I am available for boarding on the weekends starting on Thursday after 6pm until Monday evenings around 8pm. We live in the lower level of my parents’ home, which includes a fully fenced yard on over 1.5 acres - perfect for playtime and fresh air! My corgi, Moose, stays downstairs with us, while my parents’ dog, Billy, lives upstairs, so they can easily be kept separate. There are children upstairs (ages 13, 11, and 10), and if your pup interacts with them, I’ll always be there to supervise. Moose is 5 years old and loves being around other dogs! He does have some classic corgi herding instincts and can be a bit enthusiastic at times, so I’m happy to separate them as needed based on your preferences and how the dogs get along. Our home has plenty of divided spaces, so your pup will always have a comfortable, safe spot to relax.

“Gabriella did a fantastic job with our energetic terrier, Zoey. She was incredibly accommodating about last minute scheduling and went out of her way to make sure that Zoey was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Germaine did a wonderful job caring for our dog while we were away for the holidays! A nice person and great communicator, Germaine sent lots of pictures and updates -- you can tell she really loves dogs :) will definitely be booking again!”

“Vee was very attentive to our cat, Chaos. She took the time to come meet us before her stay, and she followed all of our instructions to the letter, especially for his medication. She kept us updated with information and pictures, and clearly enjoyed taking care of Chaos. We hope to have Vee cat sit for us again!”

About: What sets me apart is that pet care has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and neighbors, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve learned how to read different personalities, build trust quickly, and make pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Your furry friend gets the same attention, patience, and affection I’ve always given to the pets I grew up caring for. I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work from home three days a week. My hours are 9–5, but I’m able to step out during lunch when needed. My weekends are completely open, with no commitments to work around, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they need. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure their routine and environment stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. In your home, I follow your instructions closely - from feeding schedules and litter box care to preferred toys, safe spaces, and any special habits your pet has. I take the time to learn their personality so they feel secure and understood. I’m always careful with doors, windows, and anything that could pose a risk, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Boryana took such great care of our dog River! Received an update every evening with pictures!! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him while I was away. I will be having her stay with River anytime we go away!”

About: My name is Tiaundra. I am a professional house manager/nanny and pet sitter. I have over 10 years of experience. I offer pet feeding/care, mail collection, plant care, trash & recycling services etc. I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m sure I’ll be adding more fur babies to the schedule shortly! I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your lovely babies and property. That is why I am dedicated to providing high quality service that you can count on. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pet and home are in great hands. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your home and fur baby safe. Thank you for your time! I currently only work 4-6 hours a few days a week therefore I have ample time to care for and snuggle with all the fur babies. At this time I am only accepting pet sitting at the clients home. This may change in the near future however at the moment I do not offer pet sitting in my home.
“Jess was a wonderful sitter for Bandit. She took good care of him and enjoyed her time with him. She was a very good communicator as well. I received a couple of pictures and we text back and forth. We will definitely book with her again.”


“We are new to the country and Rover app . Therefore had fair share of doubts with regard to leaving our pet Madder . Our experience with Emma has rested all our doubts. Her skills, smiling and affable demeanor instantly lifted our spirits and our confidence bounced right back. Emma updated us with pics and videos of our pet and her reassuring words made our day out, stress free and delightful. We look forward to her services again. Thank you Emma and team Rover .”

“Andrew was great with our dog reactive dog. He could tell what she liked and gave her a similar life to what she has when we are here. No complaints. I would highly recommend Andrew.”

About: My life has been a constant blend of wagging tails and soft purrs, having owned both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. This lifelong passion followed me into college through part-time pet sitting and eventually led to a four-year career at Petco, where I deepened my expertise in animal care. Now, I channel that experience into fostering cats, dedicated to providing a loving bridge for animals on their way to forever homes. My schedule is incredibly flexible because I own my own small business, Nikki's Bakery, which allows me to set my own hours. This means I can easily prioritize pet care throughout the day, ensuring I’m available for mid-day check-ins, medication schedules, or extra playtime whenever your pets need me most. I always make sure to gain trust with the animal first as it is the most important to me that the animal feels safe. Once they are comfortable I can start to gain a sense of what the job will entail and how to make it the best and most fun experience for your pet while your gone.

“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”

Joey took amazing care of my kitten while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and healthy cat. I am SO grateful to know my little guy was in caring hands. Joey took care of all of his needs and went above and beyond by giving him lots of attention, care, and cozy vibes. They were great with communicating and sending pics-you can trust them with any of your pet needs. THANK YOU, JOEY!!

This was my first time using Rover in my new home and Faelynn couldn't have made it any easier. She was super responsive and took great care of my 110 pound Rottweiler. She also looked after the house and kept me updated throughout my trip. Faelynn will be my go to dog sitter now (provided she isn't booked up!). Highly recommend!
