“Gisselle , was an amazing ! It was my first time using Rover and couldn’t have found a more perfect dog sitter for my fur babies ! She was trustworthy, reliable, and a great caregiver . She also constantly communicated with us and sent photos every day ! We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“They took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town. Very dependable and great communication. Sometimes when we leave, the dogs don’t eat and seem to shut down but this wasn’t the case at all this time. Thank you so much!!”

“Stephanie did a great job with our cat while we were gone. She sent lots of cute pics to assure us that she was playing and getting lots of love while we were gone. She has a long background with animals and a demeanor that calms them. I can definitely recommend her.”

“Cassandra did an amazing job. She communicated well throughout our absence and sent lots of pictures of Magellan. The pictures showed that she developed a real relationship with him. She took the time to play with him, not just stop, feed, scoop poop, and leave. She's a keeper!”

“This was our first time booking with Rover in our new neighborhood/ home and we could not have asked for a better experience. Lesly was prompt and sometimes even early for each visit. The dogs absolutely loved her and didn’t want her to leave. She did an amazing job following instructions for medications, feeding schedules etc.. We will definitely be rebooking with Lesly each and every time.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 16 years and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I personally trained my Rottweiler from 8 weeks old and cared for him throughout his entire life, including his senior years. I also raised two beloved cats from kittenhood who lived to ages 13 and 15. Today, I have a friendly Standard Poodle whom I also trained from 8 weeks old. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and animals tend to warm up to me quickly. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I am detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as requested. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, medication, special feeding instructions, or simply extra attention while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the day. I often have large blocks of time between meetings, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship when your pet needs it most. Whether you need regular weekday visits or occasional help while you’re away, I strive to be flexible, responsive, and accommodating to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. During every visit, I carefully follow your instructions and routines, including feeding, medications, exercise, crate schedules, and any special care needs. I am diligent about securely locking doors, gates, and crates, and I always double-check that pets are safely contained before leaving. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home, and I will treat both your home and your pets with the same care, attention, and respect that I would expect for my own.

“My doggo loves Carrisa! She does amazing and is always so accommodating + flexible to my plans, just absolutely the best 🌟 She will keep you updated, send you photos, and truly care for your pet. It takes a lot to find a person who you and your pet feel comfortable with, so I’m very happy to have found my dog’s sitter 💛🐶”


“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Lucky. Josh and Erin treat him like one of their own and it brings me comfort knowing that he is at home when he is there. Truth be told I think he thinks I'm in the sitter.”


“Jacob and Terrie C. are great. They sent pictures and messages to me every day during my trip. I was so comfortable after getting the messages that I enjoyed our trip more. I will be calling for Jacob and Terrie C. for other trips.”
Porter dog parents share their Rover experiences
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Vickie! Vickie has been wonderful with our two Golden Retrievers! Before her first official visit, she came over just to meet our girls, which immediately put both them and us at ease. By the time she left that day, the pups were already in love with her. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shine through. We came home to two happy, relaxed girls and couldn't be more pleased. We've already planned to book her again — look no further for a dog sitter you can truly trust!

Hailey was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She sent updates, photos and videos everyday of our happy boy. She took him on walks, gave him treats, gave fresh water and gave cuddles. Rudder was in great hands with Hailey and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him. Definitely will be using her again in the future!
