About: I am a furmom to our adorable and loving shih tzu, Buckley! I worked in 2 animal hospitals (now work from home) and have knowledge of pet care and any other information needed that goes along with caring for your babies! I have open availability and myself or my husband will always be home to care for your babies. Any time, on call, and any hours as well. I have a fenced backyard to play and run around. I allow the pet to be free in my home and will provide all the cuddles and love while in my care!
“Repeat user here ✨ Stefanie is great with our dogs, super understanding, always sending pics and keeping us updated. Highly recommend and trust her with our fur babies”


“Joshua was very professional. He met max days before the visit was due. I was very nervous about having someone in my house without me being there but I felt comfortable this time. He took max on a good walk and I will definitely be booking again when needed!”

About: I have about 6 years of experience taking care of pets. I have been dog sitting for about 6 years and am very comfortable with messy pets and have no problem cleaning. I have only taken care of dogs and cats but very willing to take care of any animal. I am also comfortable to take care of aggressive animals as the dogs that I have taken care of for 6 years can be a little aggressive towards people and animals since they are not that social. I’m currently a stay at home mom who loves pets and has been taking care of my moms 3 big dogs for almost 8 years I have a big back yard where my moms dogs play when they come over so they can burn off all their energy and there is a lot of squirrels outside to keep them entertained.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs from small to medium large dogs. Learning every individual personality and various needs is something I always take into consideration with every client! I am currently working part time but have a flexible work schedule. Days I do work my other job I am available in the mornings only but other days available all day! In my clients home I ensure to do a meeting first to get to know your animal and your preferences when feeding, dietary needs, and the location of care needs for the animal. Pictures along with a report on how your furry friend did will also be included at end of services!
“This was our first time using Rover, as we’ve always relied on friends in the past—and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than working with Ericka. She was kind, patient, and incredibly responsive from the start, taking the time to answer all our questions and even offering to do a meet-and-greet before we left. That extra effort really put us at ease. We were traveling out of the country with limited internet access, but Ericka handled everything perfectly. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats, even cleaning up after one got sick (just a furball, thankfully!), fixing our Roomba when it got stuck, and taking in a package that was delivered while we were away. She also kept us updated on all the little things we were concerned about—like whether the automatic feeder and water fountains were working properly—which gave us such peace of mind. Most importantly, our cats clearly adored her. We came home to happy, healthy kitties. We can’t thank Ericka enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”

About: I’ve got a lot of experience in pet care, from adorable puppies as young as six months to sweet senior pets. I’m comfortable giving meds and can easily spot when a pet’s uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure every animal feels cared for and comfortable. I am currently working part time, which means I have plenty of time and experience to give every animal the attention they deserve. I’m also available for drop-ins and boarding, ensuring flexible and loving care for all pets. My two sweet, loving dogs join me at the doggie daycare, and they absolutely love playing with other dogs, they are also crate trained so if you prefer your fur-baby to be crated at night or at any time I will be comfortable getting them safely in.

About: Hi! I’m a first year veterinary student with several years of experience in veterinary clinics and pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health needs, and giving a little extra attention to pets who need it. My top priority is always making your pet feel happy and comfortable while you’re away, and will always treat them like they are my own. I’m currently home from veterinary school, and will be available to provide in-home pet sitting, farm sitting, and dog-walking tailored to your pets needs. I care for pets in their home with respect, cleanliness, and pay close attention to detail. I make it a goal to follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and make safety and comfort my top priority. I want to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, hogs, birds, horse and chickens since I was young. Very experienced and very professional. Willing to go the extra mile to take care of your extended family. I am currently working part time. Doing this allows me the opportunity to assist your family in timely needs of taking care of your extended family. It depends what you need for care. If you need care in your home or in mine I will ensure your extended family is taken care of.
“We had to fly out for a three-day trip on very short notice. We have two cats: a 13-year-old diabetic orange cat who we call our "love sponge," and a thee-year-old lever, mischievous tortie. Morgan understood the assignment. She had not given insulin to a cat before. I showed her how to do it, left written instructions, and all insulin doses went well. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned. My diabetic cat had a veterinarian appointment when we returned, and his glucose and neutrophils were within a good range.”
About: I have owned various animals growing up all my life, especially dogs of all different sizes. I have always had a passion and love for animals. I am currently a Veterinary Technician for the US Army. It’s been my dream to help any four footed friend out. I am trained to perform first aid for your dog/cat and have very great referrals to many great vets on the military installations in the area. It doesn’t matter the size of the dog, I am trained with all and have been around many different breeds. I have no preference toward the dogs breed/weight/personality/etc. I can work with various pets. I work full time, but only 3-4 long days. My significant other also works from 6-1 so he would be home after lunch. The days I’m off, I’m home doing school work on my computer and just hanging out. I have 2 cats myself to keep your fur baby some company. If that’s a problem, they can easily be put in the other room away from your pet.
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years, I belonged to shelters so I have experience even with aggressive animals, I love animals for this reason I respect and value them and I think they deserve the same respect and affection as human beings. I like to take care of animals even if they are not mine and I am very sure of giving them the attention and care they deserve since I am born to do it and I enjoy it and I know that people can rest assured that their pets are in my hands. Cuido mascotas desde hace más de 10 años, pertenecí a refugios por lo que tengo experiencia incluso con animales agresivos, amo a los animales por eso los respeto y valoro y creo que merecen el mismo respeto y cariño que los seres humanos. Me gusta cuidar animales aunque no sean míos y estoy muy segura de darles la atención y cuidado que merecen ya que nací para hacerlo y lo disfruto y sé que las personas pueden estar seguras de que sus mascotas estan en las mejores manos. Like everyone else, I need an income, but I need to study English since it is very basic, which is why I can take care of your pet during the day or at night at my home and on weekends. It is perfect since I can adjust the times to be able to work and study and do the two things that I love so much, which is why it is perfect for my day to day life. Como toda persona necesito ingresos pero necesito estudiar ingles ya que es muy basico el que ahora tengo por lo cual cuidar a tu mascota de dia o de noches en mi domicilio y fines de semana ,es perfecto ya que puedo ajustar los tiempos para poder trabajar y estudiar y hacer las dos cosas que tanto amo por lo cual es perfecto para mi dia dia Your pet can walk freely as it adapts to my home. I will take it for a walk 2 to 3 times depending on the time of care and I will give it its food, games and itself and lots of love and above all I will take very good care of it. Any new home for them is something difficult and they will always need time to trust but I can assure you that I will earn that trust so that they feel happy and calm. For me, animals are like children and need the same attention as a child. tu mascota podar andar libremente a medida que se adapte a mi hogar la sacare a pasear de 2 a 3 veces según sea el tiempo de cuidado y le daré su comida ,juegos y mismos y mucho amor y sobre todo cuidare muy bien. Todo hogar nuevo para ellos es algo difícil y siempre van a necesitar tiempo para confiar pero puedo asegurar que se ganarme esa confianza para que se sientan felices y tranquilos para mi los animales son como niños y necesitan la misma atención que un niño
