About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶

“Alisson was such a wonderful pet/house sitter. She was very informative sending updates and photos of the dogs. Our dogs loved her! One of our dogs usually isn’t the most comfortable with strangers but he warmed up to Alisson right away no issues. We completely felt that our home and dogs were in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be repeat customers of Alisson.”

About: Hi, My name is Lita, I’m new on rover but well experienced in the dog world. I currently own a very special boy Doberman pincher. His name is Griffin and he is 6 1/2 years old. I’ve had him since the age of one. He is a rescue that survived a gunshot went to a shelter then to a foster who couldn’t handle him and back to the shelter. Then to his final destination which was ME! Nowadays, Griffin is thriving, and is known to be the best behaved and well trained dog in the neighborhood, as well as the most loved at the vet. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time and effort, making sure that Griffin will live up to his potential And become the best possible dog. I also take care of Eros, a European champion line, German Shepherd, who weighs as much as I do if not more. After nearly 5 years of taking care of him, he and his family are like my own. I’ve been around dogs and learned proper care and handling since childhood, as my family used to breed Airedale Terriers and French bulldogs. I live a bi- coastal life (part Southern California part south Florida) which means that if you see my availability open on here, my schedule would be wide open to take care of your dog/s, and I won’t be leaving for extended periods of time to work. I’m happy to take them with me anywhere like parks, hikes, the beach, car rides etc. And will be providing them with all the enrichment and exercise they want and or need :) looking forward to working with you! I have a fitness business in south Florida that I return to but When I’m in California, my schedule is nearly wide open and this dog sitting will take priority. I would be with them as much as needed and can take them with me places. I provide very knowledgeable handling, care, and attention. Dogs THRIVE on structure and I am the best at it. I’m extremely disciplined with my dog, and can follow any routine with yours too.

“Kristie was outstanding. She and Tigger hit it off great. Kristie kept us informed as to how he was doing, sent some great photos and was the perfect choice for our dog-sitting needs. We would highly recommend her to anyone that wants peace of mind while they travel and have their loved one cared for.”

“Rebecca took such great care of my two huskies. She took them for walks and kept them company the whole day. She also took great care of my place, and kept me updated on how things were going with lots of pictures! When I came back home, the girls were so calm and happy. I can’t recommend Rebecca highly enough! Thank you!’”

“Will continues to be a life saver for us!! Not only does he take amazing care of our pups, but our home and other animals, too. He was so considerate to take our bunny to the vet while we were gone when he realized something was wrong with her and didn’t hesitate to do so. He’s got the best communication, sends lots of pictures, and loves on our fur babies when we can’t. I wouldn’t want anyone else looking after them when we are gone. Just please don’t steal him from us. 🤣”

About: Hi, I’m Diana! 🐾 I treat every dog I care for like my own. With over 10 years of dog ownership, I’ve cared for pups at every life stage, including fostering newborn puppies and senior dogs, so I know how to adapt to whatever your dog needs. Whether that’s extra gentleness for an older dog or round-the-clock attention for a tiny one. I bring patience, attention, and genuine love to every walk and stay. I have hands-on experience with dog walking and home sitting, and I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable and cared for. When you’re away, you can relax knowing your furry family member is getting the same love and attention they’d get from you, with photo updates and check-ins along the way. I’d love to meet you and your dog! let’s chat about how I can help! :) I've included a picture of my schedule in my photos, so feel free to take a look for the exact days and times I'm available. I'm around Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays all day for walks, drop-ins, and home sitting, plus weekdays before 12pm and after 7pm for walks and drop-ins. I love giving your dog the attention and care they deserve, no matter the time of day — just let me know what works best for you and your pup! When caring for your dog in your home, I take every measure to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. I follow your instructions closely, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure doors and gates stay secure at all times. Your dog’s routine and environment stay consistent, so they feel safe and cared for the whole time you’re away.

“The peace of mind Ericka gave us was priceless during this horrible fire season—-the kitties were safe and happy under her care. She is The One for our family!!!”

“Shahla is THE BEST! She watched our dogs for the long Thanksgiving holiday and became their new best friend! She sent us photo and video updates throughout the day, everyday. She always reassured us that they were happy and safe. This was our first time using Rover and I feel so blessed to have found Shahla. Please do not hesitate to have her watch your house and pets while you are away. She will not disappoint! Thank you, Shahla! xoxo, Hank and JJ”

“Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.”

About: Being a long term dog owner, I strive to treat other animals like my own. Love, loyalty, respect and a stress free environments are what I strive to create while your pet is in my care. I’m currently working part time, but have plenty of time to care for your pets. Lots of walks, play time, belly rubs and companionship are what I provide. I am available on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I can also be available for early morning walks as needed. I make sure to follow very closely the routines already in place for your pet. Interacting and keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities.

“Prompt communication!”

“Kaitlyn took exceptional care of our special-needs Ragdoll while we were away. Our cat has asthma and requires multiple medications, including a nebulizer, an inhaler, and pills. Kaitlyn went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring he received all his treatments with care and patience. Not only is she extremely reliable and professional, but she also took great care of our home. When our kitty had a litter box accident and needed a bath, she handled it without hesitation—something not every pet sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she spent more time with him than we even asked, knowing that he doesn’t like to be alone. That extra care and attention meant so much to us. We returned home to a well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional, and dependable pet sitter.”
