“We can’t say enough how much we appreciate Kamara and all she does and the excellent care she provides in taking care of our 2 cats when we need her! Our cats actually miss her the first few days after her care assignment is completed and seem to want us to call her to come over and play with them some more. We feel truly grateful that we found her through Rover!”
“Aniya was great! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I loved all the photos and the notes. It was nice to know my babies were well taken care of while I was away. I'll definitely use again!”
“I had the pleasure of doing a meet & greet with Whitney before I went on my work trip. I decided to do drop-ins and I have to say, Whitney exceeded my expectations and was very personable and professional. I missed my puppy all week and haven’t left him for more than 3 days, but I knew he was in good hands for each drop-in. I’d definitely recommend Whitney, hands down.”
“Emily es una chica encantadora que demuestra pasion por lo que hace. Mis peludos y yo somos muy afortunados de poder contar con ella. Te queremos mucho. Hasta la próxima. 😊”
“Ruben is PHENOMENAL! We were extremely happy with the EXCEPTIONAL service Ruben provided for our dogs. From the in-home pre-visit to the daily care and great communication he provided… we could not ask for a better person to care for our pets. I can say first hand that I saw from a distance (cameras everywhere 👀) how well Ruben interacted with Sugar and Teddy and provided pictures for each visit. He is truly a dog person and it is reflected in everything he did. I really appreciated the daily feedback on their activities and the messages. This guy is GOLD! If I would give him 10 stars… I would. We will definitely call on Ruben in the future. Thanks Ruben… you are the best!!! T. Baker”

About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. Growing up, I was taught how to love and care for animals. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently don’t have any pets so your fur babies will have my undivided attention. I look forward to caring for your fur babies. I currently work from home so I have more than enough free time to tend to your fur baby. The only time I would be away is if I’m running errands or out and about which usually takes me about an hour or two. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex that has a decent sized dog park for your pet to run around and burn some energy. I can crate your pet as needed or let them roam freely upon request. There’s also a large patio for them to relax and enjoy some outside air.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have at least one by my side. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including my own two—I offer more than just a place to stay; I provide a safe, loving home away from home. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience with puppies, and gentle care for senior dogs. Whether it’s helping with basic training or giving extra attention to older pups who need a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s unique needs. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family here. I currently work full time. However, I work from home 3 days a week and I am in office 2 days a week. Dogs get lots of attention. I have a large unfenced yard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I take dogs out on leashes for walks and can crate dogs if needed.

We also have pets of our own, so I have been around animals all of my life. It has genuinely become a passion of mine as I began to help my family from an early age with every pup that has entered into our care, up until now as an adult.

With all of that in mind, I can guarantee you that your pet will be in safe hands and well taken care of. You will also receive photos of every interaction so you can see how happy your fur baby is. I am currently working part-time. Thankfully, I have a steady schedule that will allow me to provide time to meet you and your fur baby. I have a lot of backyard space that pets enjoy. My family and I also spend a lot of time outside in our garden, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time. As far as going to a client's home, I'd make sure ask about rover notes and texts regarding instructions while following up with pictures of their pup along with pictures of the finished tasks.

My pup instantly loved her, which is rare! Alyssa was always on time, provided great updates with photos, and made sure my dog got plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. She goes above and beyond—bringing in packages, refreshing water bowls, and even wiping muddy paws when needed.

We’ll definitely be booking again!”

Sharonda H.
“I HIGHLY recommend ShaRonda for pet sitting or dog walking! What I appreciate most about ShaRonda is not just her obvious love for animals (my pups fell for her immediately) but her professional approach. Pet sitting and dog walking is not ShaRonda’s side job – it’s what she loves and it’s what she does for her livelihood. She is extremely good at it! She is real good at keeping owners updated with their pets - expect pictures and videos of your furry friend to feel more comfortable while you are away!”
Aatallah M.
“I highly recommend Aaatallah for this! She is by far my first choice when i need a dog sitter. I have used her service on several occasions. She’s so energetic and passionate about all animals. Above all, she is trustworthy, and my dog loves her. I would be happy to provide personal references upon request.”
