About: This Fur-Mommy LOVES doggies! I am a fur mommy to mixed breed loving 5 month old puppy. I’ve had many dogs in my past who have all lived to be old and grey. I have one small child who is at school during the day who also loves doggies probably the most out of all of us. . I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible leaving plenty of time to care for the fur babies.. My yard is large enough to allow your bigger doggie to run wild and small enough that your small dog won't get lost. I've had dogs my entire life. I'm really good with giving them attention and I love to take them on walks (great exercise for me and them!) I also do great with dogs with special needs. So if your puppy needs to be carried, I'll carry them. My home is extremely dog friendly, your doggie will love coming to visit me. For those who are worried about the multiple pups in the home, I’m Happy to do a meet n greet to ensure that we all mesh well. We can also work something out if you'd rather it only be one dog around your dogs. I’m a dual careerist who works from home. Because I’m a realtor, I’ll occasionally have to pop out but I’m usually home for most of the day. My household is up early and up late. Perfect for any fur baby schedule. I’m a planner so If I’m going to be gone for the weekend or any specific day - my calendar will reflect that information. I have an extremely clean and nice size backyard. Perfect for fetch or simply running in circles. I’m a neat person. Paws will be wiped and lotion applied after playing outside, noses will get some cocoa butter balm to keep them soft, and a light brushing to keep this fur clean of debris.

“My pup Draconi loves his time with Dayonna. She truly cares and really gives him love when she picks him up. His tail wiggles when she arrives, are outta control, and he is so excited to see her. I highly recommend Dayonna. She is communicative, keeps you up to date on the walk, and sends photos, too. Don't miss an opportunity for your furbaby to get the best attention.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs and now raising two pups of my own—ages 10 and 2, both with us since they were tiny, wiggly puppies. I also would dog walk during my teenage years for my entire neighborhood. I’m all about keeping pets happy and active, whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or giving all the belly rubs they can handle. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I love making every pet feel right at home. After 11 years as a stay‑at‑home mom, I’m now in a new season where all of my kids are in school during the day—giving me plenty of open, flexible time to focus on pet care. I’m used to managing busy routines, staying organized, and being fully present, and now I get to put that energy into caring for other families’ pets. With a quieter house and a wide‑open daytime schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions exactly as they’re given, because every animal has their own routine, needs, and comfort zone. Whether it’s feeding, walking, medications, or house rules, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own—keeping things tidy, secure, and calm so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.

About: Growing up in a large Hispanic household with 10 family members, I was always surrounded by dogs and learned from a young age how to care for them with patience and love. After moving out, I continued caring for pets by walking and looking after my neighbors’ and family friends’ dogs whenever they needed help. I’m a huge animal lover and have always enjoyed spending time with pets. Growing up helping care for both my younger siblings and our family pets taught me to be responsible, dependable, and attentive to the needs of every dog I care for. I work Monday through Friday mornings, so I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available most weekends and can provide reliable, attentive care. I always make time to ensure every pet gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep your pet safe, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Izzy, a passionate pet-lover who can provide care for your fur-babies. I’ve been a dog mom for quite some time, 7+ years. I am experienced with caring for senior dogs, reactive dogs (any size), cats, and puppies. Whether your pet may need high-energy walks, playtime, calm walks, feeding, or simply a cozy companionship while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I understand the importance of peace of mind when leaving your pet with another. That is why I always follow a routine, clarify directions for care for your pet, precise on feeding schedules, and ensure your pet feels safe and welcome. With my late baby, my lab/pitt mix Levi, I got to intern as a dog trainer to learn techniques to help with my dog’s reactivity, obedience training, and leash training. I am extremely patient and overall want to continue to share my love for animals through my sitting services. The services I offer are: - Dog walking: 30-60 minutes around the neighborhood tailored to your specific dogs’ needs and pace. - Drop In Visits: feeding, fresh water, litter box change, yard waste pickup, and play/cuddle indoor or outdoor time. - Overnight House-sitting: full overnight care in your home to keep your pet comfortable within their regular routine. I am extremely excited to start using Rover to expand my care and love for animals! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to do leash walks, playtime, feeding, litter box changes, and more throught my day. I am currently available Wednesday - Sunday at any time depending on the schedule you may need. I will not be offering my home to clients but will be happy to pet-sit in yours. Safety with any animal is priority, as their safety and mine is my first step when pet-sitting. I always check home codes, fences/gates on outdoor yard playtime, and proper space between several pets in a home (if noted/required). During playtime, I am always consistent with checking toys/bones throughout to ensure there are no choking hazards. During leashed walks, I always take note of your animals temperament and comfortability with me as their walker. Looking out for warning signs with me or any other animals on our walks.

About: I've grown up around animals all shapes,sizes and personalities and have grown to love them all. I don't mind the more "in your face" fur babies (literally and figuratively) and have plenty of energy to keep up with them or address any of their needs. I work a pretty standard 8am-3pm schedule and free on weekends to provide pet care. I also live an active lifestyle and frequent the local parks for runs, so I do not mind a furry companion tagging along. I understand every pet is different and their personality may vary from person to person. So, I am open to visiting beforehand to make sure you and your fur baby are comfortable and that trust is established.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
