About: I’m a current dog mom to a 1 year old lab/black mouth curr and a 3 year old Yorky Chihuahua. Since I was a child i’ve always had a genuine love for all beings. I’ve worked with pets in the past when I was younger but as my daughter got older I adopted my first fur baby at 8 weeks who is now three years old and then adopted my second at 9 weeks old. My background working in the childcare, caregiving and Mental Health field has shaped my skills with being intentional during all moments while maintaining trust, patience, consistency and good communication. I believe in caring for all fur babies the same way I’d want mine to be loved and cared for during my most busiest days. With working part time I am looking for independent and intentional ways of expanding my skills in community service while utilizing my expertise as a dog parent to two. I hope to have to honor to be a service and community member to you and your family. I am currently working part time but I am available to flex my schedule Tailored to family needs.

I am very flexible I care for pets as if they are my own, whether if I’m in their home or if they’re in mine, I focus on safety exercise affection, clear communication, and paying attention to each pets unique personality as well as their needs.

I enjoy making sure that all pets are safe, loved and comfortable no matter the location or time.
About: I’ve taken care of my own personal two dogs and one cat since I was 10 years old. Since I turned 14 I became the designated pet sitter in my neighborhood and took care of various pets. I have experience in training young pets and have a genuine love for all animals. I know how hard it can be to have a pet and a busy schedule so I would love to help others take care of their furry friends :) I am in school currently all day Monday-Wednesday but can provide overnight care or drop ins after I am out of school at 7:30 pm. The rest of the week I have open availability to care for your furry friends😊 I live in an apartment with plenty of room for your pets to run around and play as well as a large complex with grass fields for them to play in, use the restroom, and go on walks. The complex is gated so there is zero chance your pet can get out but I will also never leave them unsupervised.
About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. As a flight attendant, I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are. Whether you’re away for work, vacation, or just need an extra hand, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re gone. I’ve always been an animal lover and know that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company. I believe pets thrive when they feel secure, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular photo updates, clear communication, and plenty of reassurance that they’re happy and having fun. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need dependable, loving care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I currently have a pug. As a flight attendant, my schedule gives me dedicated time at home between trips, allowing me to provide focused, attentive care to the pets I watch. On the days I’m caring for your pet, my schedule revolves around their needs—from morning potty breaks and walks to playtime, meals, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my care to match their needs—whether they love active playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles on the couch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away.

“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sumner
Keri was wonderful! She was very accommodating and communicative. She really gave us peace of mind leaving our dog under her care while away. She bonded with our dog Archie relatively quick and you could tell she has a way with animals. Would book her again in the future without hesitation. All around great service and experience!
Nicole did a great job helping out with my new puppy Benni. I couldn't leave him in his crate for too long while I was at work. She was able to let him out, played with him in the back yard, and fed him his mid-day meal. Nicole was punctual, and communicated to me when she might arrive a little early/late. Would definitely recommend!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
