About: I have always had a soft spot for animals. I began working in the medical field but once I became a stay at home mom I realized something was missing.. my heart was in the place to care for animals instead. When my youngest was just under 2 I started taking on small dog walking jobs to get us out of the house during Covid and enjoying some fresh air and I really just fell in love with it. I have my own "misfit farm" of unwanted animals and in my down time I am taking on dog walking/pet sitting. I am knowledgeable in many animals including dogs, cats birds, small animals, exotics and farm animals. I currently own a Great Pyrenees, two cane corsos, beagle and we recently lost our mini dachshund, a cat plus 3 rescue goats, bunnies and a ton of chickens. I can also help with basic training and using an E collar. Medications or special needs animals is also something I am comfortable with. I do have kids who love to go on walks with me when I am dog walking, but it is not necessary for them to come with . My dog sitting calendar is filling up quickly! At this moment I am boarding dogs on a case by case basis so just reach out and we can chat! I am available for house sitting, however cannot accommodate regular overnight stays but can accommodate frequent and lengthy visits. I am a mom to 3, but am pretty much open and available for your needs. Hanging out with animals is a strong passion of mine and I often use the extra cash to do things with my kids. I cannot accommodate overnights in my house sitting but can offer lengthy and frequent visits I am available for walking, feeding, caring, loving and walking your babies of whatever species and breed. I am extremely responsible and comfortable with administering medication if need be and am very cautious when it comes to walking or letting the animal outside or when it comes to rules you have for your pet. There is very little I wouldn't be able to do, so little I can't even think of one at the moment. You can trust that I will love and care for your animals like they were my own. I can even show you pictures and videos of my very spoiled pets for reference!

“We were wanting to sightsee in DC and needed a place for our fur babies, a friend said to try Rover. I set up an account and we were able to get Kimberly to come over to our camper and let the girls out and do thier evening feeding. She was amazing and I would highly recommend her and if in the area again we will definitely use her”

About: I've been caring for dogs from a young age, thanks to my family's experience breeding Labradors and Miniature Dachshunds. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, and caring for both adult dogs and puppy litters. Currently, I have two dogs of my own—an Australian Shepherd and a Shepherd mix—who I love taking on walks and playing fetch with. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy making sure they're happy and well-cared for. I am available Monday -Sunday and I am flexible with times! I am a full-time mom who loves taking care of animals while I am at home! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to play! Although if you prefer the dogs be separated that can be arranged!

“Alexis is great. She met our 3 dogs before we left for the weekend, and took great care of them. Love the pics she sent and look forward to having her watch them in the future!”

“Lisa did a great job watching my cats while my wife and I had to leave town for a week. She always gives pictures of my cats and lets me know how they are doing. I would recommend her and I feel very comfortable having her watch my cats while I am gone.”

About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.

“Great dog sitter. They played and hangout with my dog. I didn't ask them to, but they are very good with dogs. I will hire them again”

“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”

“Paige was very reliable and attentive. Great communication and we really trusted our dog in her care. She didn’t hesitate to swing by unscheduled when a family member was supposed to help out and then couldn’t make it. We felt comforted to know our dog was receiving such great care while we were away. We would definitely book with Paige again!”

Audrey L.

“Kristen was great and so flexible and communicative! Would absolutely use her again.”

I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.
