About: I was a proud Shih Tzu owner for many years until I had to say goodbye to my beloved companion a year ago. He was my little shadow, following me everywhere and making sure I never missed a daily walk. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog into my home permanently, I would love the opportunity to care for yours.
As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, companionship, and lots of affection. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and attentive experience.
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time remotely from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I also work as a nurse 1–2 nights per week, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care.
Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special needs.
I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks based on each pet’s personality and energy level. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their preferences and routines. As a nurse, I am detail-oriented, dependable, and attentive to changes in behavior or health concerns.
I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they are away.

“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“We've had our dog, Jerry, stay with Dawn a few times and she continues to be WONDERFUL! She takes such great care of Jerry and we can tell Jerry loves staying with her! She sends daily updates and photos of our little guy so we can enjoy our vacation worry-free. Dawn is definitely our go-to person!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”
“Alex was the first host I used on Rover. I was a bit worried about using this app, but Alex made my first experience amazing! She is so friendly and truly has a heart for animals. I have already booked with her a few times since and my doggo loves to stay with her. She is very flexible and has even dropped my dog back off to me. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”
“Emily was great! I really appreciated the photos I got of my dog which she was in her care. Emily was very flexible with drop off and pickup which was very appreciated. I’m sure my dog will be back!”
“Mia had a great time and came home a happy pup! Olivia made sure to send updates and pictures regularly. Would most definitely book again. Thank you Olivia!! :)”
“Amber was very enthusiastic and accommodating even before we dropped off our little girl. This was our first experience with Rover and she and her family made it a great one! She showed us around her home, where our pup would be playing outside, and made us feel right at ease! She sent lots of pics and video throughout the weekend so we knew Shasta was having a great time! Would definitely recommend her as a sitter. We’ll use her in the future for sure!!”
“Rayann was very friendly & warm & easy to communicate with. I’m appreciative of the care she provided for my kitten while my spouse and I traveled abroad for 2 weeks. I would surely recommend her services, and I will surely book her again in the near future.”
“We love Anjanette! She is our go-to sitter for whenever we are away. Milo is always excited to be with Anjanette and we know he will be treated as her family dog with love and care”
“Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).”
“Katie is the most loving and responsible sitter we’ve ever had! She loved our baby as her own and took the best care of her! I would recommend Katie as a sitter to anyone and everyone. I cannot speak highly enough!”
“Andrew and his family took great care of Luna. She seems to have settled in quickly with his family of people and pups and came home happy. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“Paige took such great care of Teddy and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We got tons of photos and she kept us updated the whole time, so we always knew he was happy and in good hands.
You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Teddy clearly adored her. We’ll 100% be booking with Paige again!!”
“Just like always, Tamisha did a wonderful job with Jackson. We left him longer than usual because we were out of the country and we had nothing to worry about while we were gone! She even bathed him for us before we picked him up!”
“Sophie was quick to respond to a last minute booking- highly recommend. we greatly appreciated the amazing care & photo updates. Your pet is in good hands !”
“Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.”
