About: Hello Rover friends, I am officially a Rover sitter. To all who know me the animal kingdom has been my world ever since I was a little girl. I guarantee your pet will have a forever friend and unconditional love. They are always priority when they are with me. What truly sets me apart is the depth of my hands-on experience and dedication to animal welfare. For over 30 years, I’ve been actively involved with rescue organizations—fostering dogs, volunteering at adoption events, and conducting home inspections to ensure safe placements. I also work closely with shelters to evaluate a dog’s behavior and temperament, helping rescues understand which environments each dog will thrive in. One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was raising orphaned newborn puppies—feeding them around the clock, keeping them warm, and nurturing them into strong, healthy companions. That level of care, patience, and love is something I bring to every animal I look after. I specialize in: • 🍼 Newborn & orphaned puppy care • 🐾 Puppy training support * Animal CPR • 🐶 Senior pet care • 🐕 Rescue & trauma-informed handling • 💊 Medication administration (oral/topical) • 🐈 Cat care & companionship • 🐴 Comfortable around horses • 🏠 Multi-pet household management • 📋 Shelter temperament assessments & home checks Every pet has a story, and I’m here to be the calm, loving chapter when you can’t be there. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s what I truly love to do! I structure my days around the animals I care for, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. I have dedicated my life volunteering in Animal Welfare. I like to consider myself as the neighborhood dog whisper. There hasn't been a dog that I cant handle. With my flexible schedule and home-based work, I’m able to be fully available for your pet’s needs throughout the day and night. I’m available weekdays and weekends, including holidays, and I can accommodate a wide range of routines—whether your pet is high-energy and active or needs calm, consistent care. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family and ensure they’re comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way. In your home, I respect your space and routines. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and provide updates so you feel confident and informed while you’re away. I also understand how to read animal behavior, especially in rescue or sensitive pets, so I approach every situation calmly and with care. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, pet-friendly environment. I keep a clean, safe space with no hazards or stressors, and I always monitor interactions closely. I never leave pets unattended outside, and I make sure each animal has their own space to rest, relax, and feel at home. With over 30 years of hands-on experience—including rescue fostering, behavior assessments, and newborn puppy care—I provide a loving, trustworthy, and safe experience every time.

I have taken care of pretty much every pet you can think of from pigeons, cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, all, and all the way to horses and cows.

About: As someone with a strong sense of responsibility and structure from my time in the Army, I bring dependability and discipline to every pet I care for. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, understanding their unique needs—from training routines to medication schedules. What sets me apart is my ability to build trust quickly with animals. I’m calm, confident, and always pay attention to a pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe and loved. I’m also physically active, so I have no problem keeping up with high-energy dogs who need long walks or play sessions. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing comfort to an older pet, or simply showing them a great time while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As an active-duty service member, I follow a consistent routine that helps me stay organized and reliable. I typically have mornings, evenings, and weekends available for pet care, which fits perfectly into my lifestyle.

I keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure they’re comfortable, stimulated, and happy.

It also showed me how to comfort, play, and love all kinds of dogs. I am currently a college student home for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands. I also have my own car to make travel easier. My weeks are mostly free, which leads to plenty of free time on my hands at any time of day.

Leah and Edward have been my dog’s walker for the past three months. They are great communicators, always on time and well skilled with dog behavior and additionally are so kind to her. Additionally, they are generously walking their well-trained dog with mine to help with my dog’s reactivity. I highly recommend them!
