About: I am a daily dog walker. My passion is to connect with dogs of any kind. It would be my pleasure to serve your dog a new friend and walking partner. I am available to walk your dog on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays at any time. The more notice the better, however, I do take short notice walks so long as I’m available. I respect a dog’s hesitancy to meeting new people. I offer patience, time, and a calm effort to earn your dog’s trust. A personal goal of mine is to make a positive interaction and connection with every dog I meet.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets to neighbors for probably the past 15 years and I’m also a pet stylist so I work with dogs every day I can be available like 2 to 4 hours every Monday and Wednesdays and probably occasional Sundays as well. Might add more days in the future. I can be a very active pet parent and go on long walks or I can snuggle up on the couch and binge watch a show and give all the love because dogs have always shown me the best loyalty from any living creature I’ve ever encountered
“Serena came through last minute for us. Couldn't have been happier with her overall service. Our animals loved her from the start and she stayed in contact the whole time which left me at ease for the evening. She is truly passionate about animals and firmly responsible as we had her house sitting with our pets. She is an asset to this service. Top tier service and professionalism.”

I know these are ur babies and I will give them all the love I have until they are back with you.

I have a few hours in between my classes at OCC and would love to stop in and look after your pet or even walk a dog for an hour or so. As I've said before I'm an over night worker.

I can try and work my schedule around yours and what you need. I'm great with animals and would keep your furry friend busy. I love walks and would enjoy getting to know your four legged friend. We would probably become selfie buddy's and of course I can keep you informed of all that happens during our time together with photo and text messages.

Liam C.
“I’ve known Liam my entire life. I can confidently say he’s the most dependable person I know. He does so many different things and is 100% in with all of them, whether that be his job, the military, or in this case with Rover. He’s had a few pets in the past and a dog now and they all visibly had or have a great life. To be honest, I’d bet hed possibly be the best pet caregiver you have if you let him.”

“Colleen is such a compassionate caregiver. She always makes my Oakley feel safe and loved when she watches him and provides updates when asked. She has watched my dog for short vacations and long ones! So glad we found her <3”
Branaysha T.
“Hi. Nay is so loving to the point where it would get out of control. She loves dogs to a extent that no one would understand. If you think Cesar Milan is crazy for wanting to help aggressive dogs. Well Nay is the same way. She would get bit and brush it off like it didn't happen. She doesn't care if a dog hurt her just as long as she gets them out of their shell. She works a Green Leaf Pet Resort where they board dogs. And she'll tell me how her day went and who she was able to walk. That job doesn't deserve her tbh but that's my opinion. Making Nay a Rover member I'll most definitely would approve. It's everything she loves to do and more.”

Kellyann S.
“I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the job than Kell. She is truly one of the most caring and compassionate people I’ve ever known, and her love for animals, especially dogs is unmatched. Kell treats every animal as if it were her own. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. And for someone who has been working with dogs for most of her life, she is more knowledgeable about their wants and needs than anyone I know. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog with the same love and dedication you would, Kell is the one!”

Lisa is the PERFECT pet sitter - kind, responsible, accountable, and goes above and beyond with communication and taking care of your loved ones! Lisa watched our 2 cavaliers for 5 days and I was not worried once because I knew they were in great hands. She sent daily pictures and updates, and she took initiative in reaching out 2 days before (as well as the day of) to confirm everything was good to go for her stay. It's no wonder she is always booked up because this is the type of person you want sitting for your pets! Can't recommend Lisa more highly.
