About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, bearded dragons, snakes, and just about every quirky pet a friend has trusted me with. I even interned at a veterinary office back in high school, which gave me early hands‑on experience with animal behavior and basic care. I provide individualized attention, plenty of playtime and cuddles, regular walkies for the pups, feeding, and medication administration when needed. As a naturally detail‑oriented person, I follow your care instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent and comforting. Your pet will be in safe, attentive, loving hands every step of the way. 🏡 Boarding Routine For boarding, I match your pet’s normal schedule—feeding times, walk times, medication, bedtime routines, and any special habits they rely on. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of companionship, playtime, and supervision. 🐾 Walkies & Drop-Ins During the week, I'm available for morning and evening walkies & drop-ins. On weekends, my schedule is fully flexible to match your needs. I keep a calm, low‑stress home with plenty of soft, cozy spots for pets to relax. I can separate pets for feeding if that’s part of their routine. The lawn is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on‑leash to keep everyone safe. I make sure pets always have a calm, safe space to relax. Their comfort and safety come first. For Walkies & Drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets attention, potty breaks/walks, fresh water, and anything else they need to stay comfortable until you’re home.

“Peyton was so good with our cats. She was always on time, flexible and quick to respond on semi-short notice for pet sitting on the holiday weekend! She offered to come over ahead of the scheduled times so that she could meet me and the cats, which was super nice and it made me feel more comfortable!! She sent lots of photos and even scooped the litter box, fed our fish and brought out packages in while we were out. I highly recommend Peyton!!”

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter and dog walker who truly enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds. I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember and feel very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of routines and environments. One of my dogs lived to be 21 years old, which gave me meaningful experience caring for senior pets and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care as pets age. I am also comfortable supporting daily routines such as feedings, walks, litter box care and playtime. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication in every visit. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, pay close attention to details like leashes, doors, and feeding routines, and always aim to keep pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

I'm here to accommodate for whatever you need! I am currently seeking anyone who would like to give me some more experience with their animals so I can have the best knowledge with any type of care. I'm currently working full time with fluctuating hours whether its morning mid-day or night, however, I am more than willing to help out with pets around my schedule! my daily routine with Keto is easy and laid back and definitely allows me to fit more pet care in around my schedule!

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.
