About: My commitment to providing excellent care comes from a genuine love of animals. I am dedicated to delivering top-notch pet care in the comfort of your own home. I do pet sitting on Rover fulltime so I have flexibility to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I accept drop ins from 6 am to 8:00 pm, I am able to accommodate requests outside of those hours on a case by case basis, do not hesitate to reach out! I accept up to 10 drop ins a day, during busier times I may ask for a few hours of flexibility on your suggested time to make sure I am able to give all of my clients the level of care that they deserve. If your cat needs medication on a time sensitive schedule, please let me know so I can prioritize it into my scheduling. For house sitting requests my rates are the following: *Overnights* Cats/Dogs: $75/night Puppies: $85/night Holiday: $200/night *Daytime* Cats/Dogs: $68/day Puppies: $75/day Holiday: $185/day The rate that Rover shows when you search for me is my overnight rate. If you would prefer a daytime booking for a reduced price, just let me know when you make your booking and I will adjust the price. When coming to your home, I will respect any instructions you give when caring for pets. I petsit for many clients with different levels of comfort, so I understand everyone has different boundaries.
“Emily is amazing! This was our first time using Rover, so of course we were hoping we’d find someone who was a good fit and that we felt comfortable having in our home. She was so sweet and our two dogs were so happy to meet her - in fact, I think her calming demeanor put them at ease! She was thorough, prompt, and sent adorable photos so we knew the dogs were in good hands. It was great to not have to worry about how they were doing or if they were being taken good care of. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat and plan to for the next time we need some extra help! Thanks so much Emily!”
“Katie walked our two dogs three times a day for a week and was fantastic. She was always on time and sent photo updates. We would love to have Katie walk our dogs again - would absolutely recommend her!”


“Mary did a great job with our pups! I feel totally comfortable having her come into my house and take care of my fur babies and I look forward to working with her in the future!”

“Michelle is amazing! We can enjoy our time away knowing that our dogs are in excellent hands and getting lots of snuggles and love. And her communication and updates are great! 🐶🐾”

“Danielle is great! She does an amazing job taking care of my dog Bear and always sends several pictures which is the highlight of my day. She’s very responsible and professional. Absolute pleasure to work with!”

“Maryann was very communicative, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about dogs/dog care in general. We’d hire her to watch our little one another time in a heartbeat!”

“Rich has always been super awesome. Goomba loves when he comes around. Super responsive and knowledgeable no matter what dog. Definitely would recommend booking him if you’re planning a trip or getting away.”

“Annie is definitely a dog lover. She and my Nipsy bonded immediately. She’s punctual and has a very strong sense of understanding his needs. I’m thankful for her dedication to walking my dog every week and keeping me updated on his progress.”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.

“Lydia is great! She’s super flexible and easy to schedule. She’s great with our puppy and is a lifesaver since I work out of the house all day. I definitely recommend her!”

“Jayla was fantastic with Rusty and went above and beyond, from accepting a last minute booking when our usual sitter fell through to taking extra precautions when someone noticed where we told her to hide the key! Will absolutely be requesting to book again!”

“D’Arcy was so responsive, friendly, and willing despite some very snowy and cold weather! We really appreciate her last minute support walking our Moose! Will absolutely be reaching out to her again.”

About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.

“Emm was so patient with my nervous dog and took extra time to make her feel comfortable. Willow even took treats with her and went to the bathroom in the rain which is uncommon for her with a new person. Thanks for taking such great care of my pup!”

Smith Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
100/5. Ben exceeded any and all expectations at caring for our elderly dog while we were away. One morning of our trip, the dog was unresponsive. Ben contacted us, contacted our family in the area, stayed nearby, cared for the dog until she miraculously recovered. That same week, the 2026 blizzard hit. We couldn't get home; Ben extended the Rover contract and slogged through the heavy snow 3x/day to care for the dog. He stayed extra hours. He updated us regularly. He shoveled! I could go on and on -- really, this guy deserves a medal. We are so lucky we found him. Please do not hesitate to leave your pets in his care.

We had Xavier come and do walks twice daily for my energetic pup during a last minute trip my family took. Xavier provided excellent communication and went above and beyond in many ways. We received pictures with every walk and questions that showed he was attentive and responsible caring for our dog.

Having Rania be apart of our dog care team has been amazing! We hired Rania after I suffered a serious injury that required surgery and months of recovery. I was hesitant at first to hire someone to walk our boy as he can be difficult and picky, but my Riley took a liking to Rania right away and she has been key every since. She is super responsible and always communicates in a timely fashion if she is running late. I highly recommend Rania if you are in need for a caring, responsible walker.

Ashton truly went above and beyond. When he noticed that Chico’s anxiety was higher than normal, he stepped in without hesitation and took such great care of him. He showed Chico so much love and made him feel completely welcome and safe in his home. I’m incredibly grateful for Ashton’s kindness, patience, and attentiveness. Chico was clearly comfortable and happy, and that means everything to me. I will absolutely be booking Ashton again!
