About: Get $20 off if it's your first booking on Rover using code: ANNALC08836 I previously gained valuable experience assisting my father with his pet sitting business, which has earned more than 50 positive reviews. Now, as I transition to a new home, I’m excited to build on that foundation by starting my own pet sitting business. This is my dad's profile https://www.rover.com/sit/thangc54973. What sets me apart as a sitter is my attention to each pet's individual needs, ensuring a customized care experience. Whether it's providing focused training for energetic puppies, helping them learn essential commands, or offering specialized senior care with gentle handling and close monitoring of any medical requirements, I ensure pets are comfortable and well-taken care of. My strong understanding of animal behavior allows me to recognize and respond to unique needs, ensuring that every pet receives the right mix of affection, stimulation, and calm. My commitment to safety, reliability, and consistent communication ensures that both pets and owners feel at ease. I'm available full time which I can provide extra attention to your pet with longer walks, outings, grooming, or vet visits, and keep a consistent routine with morning walks, feeding, and evening playtime. This balance ensures daily care while making the most of your free days for bonding and special activities. When caring for pets at home or in a client's home, it’s essential to follow feeding schedules, provide exercise, and maintain cleanliness. At home, ensure a pet-safe environment with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing, while keeping routines consistent to minimize stress. For in-home services, be mindful of the pet’s comfort and safety, ensuring access to emergency contacts or a vet if needed.
About: From dogs, cats, frogs, and everything in between, I’m an avid pet lover! My current rescue is a German shepherd mix named, Butters. I spent my day’s walking and playing with her. We also love visiting her fur friends! I am currently working part time so my availability is open Mondays-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for day visits. Weekends I’m free all day! I have a large, fenced yard with a loving fur baby, Butters. She is a social pup and would love some company! Dogs can be in and out of the home as they please. But bedtime is always inside! I also have room for a crate if needed.
“Sydney is the best! I'm such a worrying dog-mom, and she could not have been more perfect. She was highly communicative with me and was very easy to get in touch with. I also love that she is a vet tech. That put my mind at ease the whole time we were away. If she noticed small changes in my dog's behavior she would take precautions and monitored him like a pro. Even my neighbor commented on how wonderful she was and how our dog just fell in love with her. I will use Sydney every time we travel in the future!”
About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and that’s when I start my walking, then I come back and have my breakfast, so I will have plenty of time to care for a dog. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and walking them.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.
“Cristina took the initiative to come meet my kitties ahead of time. She took great care of them and played and cuddled them. I asked her to bring in our trash cans and some packages at the last minute and she was happy to do it. Very responsible, responsive and great with the kitties!”
About: I've had dogs since I was born and recently became a cat mama myself! I have fostered dogs of all ages and many different breeds, requiring different levels of care and activity. I'm so excited to help care for your furry friend! I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for twice daily walks, dog park outings, house sitting, and more! My schedule is fairly flexible so we can always work something out to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I have a drama queen cat who isn't up to mingling with other pets, but I am more than happy to care for your pets in your own space to your liking.

“Marian came over to feed and play with our cat while we were on vacation and she was absolutely amazing. Gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was there, she took great care of our sweet girl. Our crazy cat knocked over and broke a glass dish at one point and Marian was so reassuring and cleaned everything up and checked our cat’s paws. It was an absolutely wonderful experience and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of my pups for 6 years and ensure that I know their allergies. I play with them and stimulate their minds so they can not be so hyperactive. I’m currently working as a children’s tutor part time and I love caring for dogs and cats! I’ll give them more attention than they need. I ensure my pets have food and water and watch out what they can pick up from the ground that can be dangerous for their health. I’ve given my pups medicine through treats easily too.

Liana L.
“Liana is a caring, compassionate, and detail oriented caregiver for pets. She's watched over my cat several times when I've been out of state/country and every time I've felt relaxed knowing she was taking good care of him. She always sends a good mix of pictures and videos on how hes doing, and easily completed feeding/litter tasks. But most importantly: she spent time with him so he wasn't lonely and made sure he was as relaxed and less stressed as possible. I'd recommend her every time to pet sit.”

Michelle P.
“Michelle is a wonderful human being with a caring soul. She is the type of person who will surprise you with coffee if she knows you're tired. Michelle will give everything she has to make sure her loved ones are taken care of. She is the same way with her dog Riley and with the children she works with as a teacher aide. With the most pure heart and ability to see what others are in need of, she will make the best candidate to care for pets. She has many years of experience caring for her own dog and her family's other dog. Whenever she visits my house I am happy to see how caring and affectionate she is with my 1.5 year old dog that is full of energy.”

Riverview West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was our first time drop in sitter for our pup using Rover and what a great experience! She is a caring, thoughtful and reliable caregiver. Our dog had experienced a traumatic boarding experience, but in Sarah's care he remained happy and healthy. We loved her personal feedback and photos following each visit. Thank you so much Sarah for being such a great dog sitter!
Elizabeth was a tremendous help taking care of our dogs while we were away on holiday. She sent us daily pictures and updates. It gave us ease of mind that our doggies were well taken care of. She is super nice and very gentle with our dogs. We highly recommend her and she will be the first one to call if we need a dog sitter!
5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Cat did such an amazing job with our cat! She was available on short notice, very responsive, and went above and beyond for his care. She also sent lots of pictures and a detailed update which made me feel like my sweet boy was in great hands. Will definitely book again, highly recommended!
Rhiannon was a wonderful fur baby sitter! She was highly communicative, cordial, and considerate. We appreciated her attention to detail and willingness to proactively address any needs of our two cats. She was always prompt with responses and did a great job sharing updates as well as playing with our cat. Thanks for an excellent experience and we are sure to book again when the time arrives!
