“Kevin's and his family did such an awesome job with meeting, boarding, walking and caring for Charlie! He really enjoyed being there too. Great experience for all involved. Would definitely use him in the future!”
“Nicole is absolutely the best!! She took such great care of our Mr. Milo for the week we were away. It was his first time away from us and she helped him adjust with ease. We will always use Nicole's services in the future. I know my my fur babies will be safe, happy, and comfortable. Thanks Nicole❣️”
“Ivy was amazing with Boomer. We had a last minute change in the schedule and she accommodated us right away, made special arrangements to have Boomer dropped off so we can make our flight. She sent us lots and lots of pictures and videos of Boomer all the time, and they always put a smile on the kids’ faces! We will most definitely use Ivy again, and refer her to all of our family and friends!”
“My furry babies were well cared for. This was the first time I left my babies for more than a day and Chengcheng gave me peace of mind by sending periodic photos to let me know they were doing good and happy. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Laura is by far the absolute best surrogate mawma a doggie could ask for. I was a nervous Nelly having to leave my Zeusie with anyone other than family. As soon as I met Laura I could feel how passionate and caring she was and she immediately eased my anxiety. I just knew Zeus would receive top notch care. Zeus can be a bit full of himself and thinks he’s the most important. She just “gets” him and then lets him be him. She kept me updated with pics and texts and I knew exactly how he was doing during his stay. If Zeus could speak human I know that he would tell me that he had lots of fun and loves Laura. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Laura will be able to host my lil Zeusie anytime he needs a vacay. I can’t thank her enough and truly appreciate her knowledge, understanding, and care she gives.”
“Skylar was amazing at sending photos and updating us on our Peaches. This was the first time I used Rover and first time Peaches stayed with someone who wasn’t family. Thank you, Skylar!”
“Thankfully, Miranda helped us out last minute with taking care of our pup. She responded quickly and gave us updates and pics while we were out of town. Sasha had a good time making new friends! 😍”
“Melissa and her family were nothing short of amazing, kind and understanding. They sent me videos and photos without asking and are very prompt at responding. They offer many other services as well and professional dog trainers. Ive had some bad experiences but felt very comfortable with leaving my boys with them. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a dog sitter, training or any other services as they are so patient and knowledgeable. Will be using them again. Thank you so much~”
“Monica took really good care of my fur baby for 12 days. She is very good at communicating and sent me pictures throughout my trip. I was at peace and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. Myles seemed to really enjoy himself and had lots of play time. I would definitely recommend Monica she is definitely the sitter. Myles will definitely be back !”
“Words cannot express how marvelous JJ and her family are. She is very flexible, kind and just fantastic with Sherman. I loved getting the photos and videos on a daily basis, I highly recommend and am so grateful of the care she has shown my fur child.”
“Robert took good care of my dog. His house had nicely shaded front yard where dogs can play. He gave a bath to my dog day before I picked her up. So she was fluffy and clean. I will return for his service in the future.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”

“Bill took great care of Winnie while we were out of town for the weekend! He is an attentive and caring sitter. When we picked Winnie up she was happy and well cared for.”
“Nune looked after our two chihuahuas for four nights. We loved the photos she sent of our babies while we were on vacation. We’ll definitely call her again for our next trip.”

“Amanda is awesome! She was very attentive and followed instructions precisely. She was also great at communicating every detail and asked for guidance whenever she faced an issue we hadn't addressed. I highly recommend her, and will use her again!”
“Perla was amazing taking care of my two cats. I was gone for two weeks, she kept up with communication, pictures, and how my cats were doing. Even though the initial booking was for once a day drop in visits, she was able to accommodate and do drop in visits twice daily instead, on request. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.
“Alaina is an excellent pet sitter who will take great care of your furry family members. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her warmth and friendliness. She did a wonderful job with my sweet kitty! While I was away for the weekend, she took fantastic care of my cat and sent me numerous photos and updates. When I returned home, my cat was relaxed and content, which truly speaks to Alaina's exceptional pet-sitting skills. I'll definitely be using Alaina in the future!”
“Awesome dog sitter. Very nice, aware, attentative. Go over and beyond to assure you your dogs will be taken care of. She not only dropped in but also walked my three dogs at one time and followed all of my instructions for eating schedules etc.”
“She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.”
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lukasz Paul and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and my Belgian Malinois. I also helped my parents with their pet sitting business in Santa Clarita. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! I’m working, so the days I added that are available, have to be either requested Later at night or very early in the morning. My work schedule does change week by week. So it does depend on my schedule on when I am available. My main job, at home is to show love and appreciation towards my dog. When she does something good, I treat her. Doing this will help her to understand me better.
About: I have 2 wonderful dogs myself so I understand wanting the best for your little friends. When it comes to caring for a pet it is very important that they be comfortable and have trust with the carer. I can provide a gentle touch like no other to make your furry friends feel loved and safe while you are away. For pet/house sitting it is best to meet before hand to make sure that the animal understands that you trust me so it's okay for them to trust me as well. I can provide as many walks and potty breaks and the dogs need to be comfortable. I do require 24 hours notice for all cancellations. Walks start at 30 minutes per walk at $10 a walk for non holidays
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
About: I have fostered and housed many kitties in need and found them great homes, I’m a kitty girl and I love them so much! I have 3 kitties of my own and I’m always the number one person my family and friends will call to come baby sit their animals ever since I was 15 :)
About: I treat your fur babies like a family member, not a job. I would follow your routine making sure they get the specific types of exercise and cuddles they love most! :) I also send detailed updates with photos and videos. I'm not afraid of extra work! I strictly follow and reinforce potty training and crate schedules to keep your training on track. :) I do work from home I'm very flexible with scheduling. Available times I have are from 6am-9am, 1pm-2pm, 6pm-8pm. If you need a specific time and its urgent, I can be there asap :) When I'm in your home, the goal is to provide seamless continuity and maintain your pet's primary source of comfort: their familiar environment . :)
“Shannon took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. She was kind and calm, which made them feel comfortable immediately. Especially the more nervous one! She was receptive every time we reached out and always sent us sweet pictures so we knew our fur babies were happy and healthy. We will definitely book with her next time we go out of town!”
“Kayla was an exceptional home and pet sitter - I can't recommend her highly enough! We recently went on a week-long vacation, leaving our one-year-old cat, Tempuki, at home. We were worried about Tempuki spending so much time alone, but Kayla turned out to be our saving grace! From the moment we met Kayla, her warm and welcoming personality assured us that both our home and pet would be in great hands. Her presence allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing that Tempuki was well cared for and our home was secure. Kayla went above and beyond in her duties. She kept our home in pristine condition, just as we'd left it. What we appreciated most was her attentiveness to Tempuki. She regularly sent us pictures of our furry friend, which was a delightful way to stay connected while we were away. It's clear that Kayla has a genuine love for animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Her reliability and care gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet and house sitter, look no further than Kayla. She'll treat your home and pets as if they were her own!”
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“I am pleased to write this positive review of our pet sitter, Kimberly. I scheduled Kimberly to come to our home and do two drop-in visits each day we were out of town. We have two ten-year-old cats, and I am guilty of spoiling them all the time. Kimberly showed up at our home on time every day. She provided detailed notes and pictures of my cats. I tend to be nervous; however, Kimberly was so thoughtful with her description of taking care of my cats, as well as the pictures, I had absolutely no reason to be concerned. We are going out of town for an entire week in the near future, and I have already confirmed I will be booking her through Rover again. I feel lucky I can travel without worrying about my fur babies. Please don't hesitate to hire Kimberly! She's a gem; She's kind, professional, thoughtful, and takes pride in her work. We feel blessed to have met her and her lovely little daughter.”

“Really appreciated Susana sending me pictures throughout the day. Shes also so understanding and patient with my puppy who I know is a handful right now. Her pup was also such a great playmate for my puppy! Opal came home tired both nights it was amazing.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life and currently have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger dogs and pets that need a little more patience. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I’ll always treat them like I would my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and your pet’s normal routine. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends and can provide plenty of supervision throughout the day. I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I also have multiple rooms available, so pets can be kept separate when needed or given their own space to relax and feel comfortable. I’ll follow any feeding instructions, walking schedules, routines, or other preferences you provide, and I’m happy to adjust based on each pet’s personality and needs.
“Laura was the sweetest!! Kept me updated throughout the day and sent photos which is so great! Definitely recommend taking your babies to her, they will be in great hands ◡̈”
About: Hello! My name is Ana! I can help with boarding, day care and dog training (basic obedience, behavioral modification, socialization, potty training, desensitization etc.) I love working with dogs and have been doing it for a long time. I live in a house with a lot of space for different activities. Whether your dog is crate trained, roams the house, has special needs or on medication I can adjust to your pup’s needs. I want to provide the best care for your animals while you’re away. You will receive plenty of picture updates and a happy pooch in the end. Please message me with any concerns or questions! Thank you! I work from home, therefore I have plenty of time dedicated to the pups staying in my care. I do dog sport competitions, so might not be available some weekends. Dogs are never left unattended! Temperaments are matched for play time and socialization. Overnight dogs stay in crates to ensure a calm and safe space for each pup.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
“Chengcheng did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. She went on multiple walks, took her to the park, and even sent pictures of my babe throughout the day so I always knew what they were doing together. I highly recommend Chengcheng for any service she offers, you can rest assured your baby is in good hands.”
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“Ilona has been great with our dog! She was recommended to us by a fellow dog parent and we’re very thankful for Ilona - she takes great care of our dog, sends us a detailed care information after each visit, and the kids are so good with our dog as well. Bonus that Ilona is close to our home! Her communication is quick and is flexible when our pick up and drop off times need to shift on short notice.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for years. My family and friends rely on me for their pet’s care and my veterinary experience gives me confidence in identifying issues and brainstorming solutions. I have open availability Monday through Friday, and am open to weekends depending on client needs. I work from home and therefore am flexible with scheduling. I can’t wait to meet your kiddos! I have a lovely home that I share with my husband, our 2 boys, and our pup, and I am open to visiting pets at client homes as well depending on what is more comfortable for the pet and their family!
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love and treat them as my own children. They are a man’s best friend. They light up your day and take the stress away. I daily take them out on walks and feed accordingly. I am a stay at home mom with 20 plus retail Experience. I have decided to retire from sales. Now my focus is taking care of your pets if you are out of town, need a day sitter, etc. I have a fenced back yard, but I never allow pets out there unless I am beside them. I walk dogs on a leash. Play with them throughout the day.
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.
“Sarah took great care of my pup and was so nice too! She really went above and beyond to make her comfortable. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely bring my pup back. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.

About: Hi I’m Brenda! I’m a twenty eight year old college graduate that has a special care for animals especially feline and dog friends.

I do have prior personal experience coming from my dogs named Chestnut and Prince (both Chihuahua’s) I had helped raised mostly all their lives.

About: I have cared for animals on my ranch in Acton, CA for over 30 years. I get along well with them because of the mutual trust and respect developed between us. I am adept at maintaining safe, clean living environments and noticing any problems which may crop up. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds of different ages and also have a great method for obedience training. I can provide information on this as agreed to between the owner and myself. I have one dog of my own at the moment. She is a rescue, and I know her particular needs. The same would be true of your dog/s. Each enclosure on my ranch is basically a huge corral with shelter attached. Dogs can exercise themselves and seek shelter whenever they want. I am also able to keep them indoors provided they are housebroken and reasonably well behaved. I can give medications and provide personalized care as needed. Services provided include the following? -Lots of private space for each dog -Dedicated care plans for senior dogs or those needing medications -Large tree-abundant yards. No cages -Leash walk and play time -In-door stays available when dictated by the weather -Social activities with other dogs given they are compatible with each other -Regular photo updates and videos I'd love to meet you and your dog. Let's schedule a meet and greet to become acquainted. Carole I'm am available for boarding on both weekends and weekdays. Since I am retired, this means I can check in on your dogs boarded at my facility on a regular basis. My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.

About: Hi, I’m Josselyn! 🐾❤️ Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a BIG deal. You want to know they're safe, loved, and with someone who can handle them in all aspects. That's exactly what I'm here for! I especially love working with active, playful, and high energy dogs who need more than just a quick walk around the block. I'm comfortable handling big personalities, lots of energy, and dogs who need plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I'll meet them where they are. If you looked in my car, you’d probably find a bag of dog food, extra water, treats, and a leash because helping animals isn’t something I turn on and off; it’s simply who I am. Some of the most meaningful moments for me have been watching an animal go from scared, hungry, or unsure to safe, happy, and loved. That’s when I realized caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s something that comes naturally to me. Along with caring for my own dogs and cats, I’ve also provided dog walking and pet sitting for others. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. Whether your pup is shy and needs time to warm up, playful and full of energy, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to understand them and make them feel comfortable. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks, jogging, hiking, or getting their energy out, I’ll happily keep up! If they prefer a slower, relaxed walk with plenty of sniffing and attention, I’m just as happy to go at their pace. Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be personalized to who they are. What truly sets me apart is that I don’t see this as just a job. I was caring for animals long before joining Rover. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When you trust me with your pet, my goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Because to me, they’re not “just pets.” They’re family. 🐾❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it's something I truly enjoy. I currently work two part-time jobs, which gives me a flexible schedule with availability most mornings, afternoon, evenings, and weekends. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxing walk, an active run, or just some extra love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs while providing dependable, consistent service you can count on. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's consistent and personalized. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands.
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
About: I’m new to the Rover community but I look forward to expanding my profile and making time for your companions. My family and I have had dogs are entire +20 years, til this day too. We’ve had large and small dogs, several breeds, some became mothers, and some left the family—so I’ve experienced full life cycles of dogs. Because of my understandings of having a furry companion, I have a soft spot for all furry buddies and i’m committed to learning and adapting to taking care of a new friend if it means making a fellow pet owner’s life a little easier. I love to be active so I can take your buddy for nice nature walks, play with them, or even down time with endless head/belly scratches—whatever your friend needs I can give. My two dogs, Muffin and Biscuit enjoy short walks and eating snacks so they’re two furballs of fun! I’m available for drop-ins or house sitting when needed. At your home I can keep your pet active with playtime and walks or I can just keep an eye on them, whatever is best for your pet! I am a student and a healthcare worker but I will always make more time for a pet when needed. Services including: -Dog walks, 30-45 min. To give your pet fresh air, a break from indoor spaces, and a simple exercise around a nice neighborhood or a dog friendly trail. -House drop-ins. to make sure your pet is safe and sound, the house is clean, well fed and stimulated, with playtime, potty breaks, and head scratches to remind them they’re never alone. -House Sitting. Hours will vary. My service includes providing basic necessities and care for your pets (food, water, walks, playtime, naps, potty breaks) to keep your home and your pet comfortable and safe
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.

“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”

“Kevin's and his family did such an awesome job with meeting, boarding, walking and caring for Charlie! He really enjoyed being there too. Great experience for all involved. Would definitely use him in the future!”
“Laura is by far the absolute best surrogate mawma a doggie could ask for. I was a nervous Nelly having to leave my Zeusie with anyone other than family. As soon as I met Laura I could feel how passionate and caring she was and she immediately eased my anxiety. I just knew Zeus would receive top notch care. Zeus can be a bit full of himself and thinks he’s the most important. She just “gets” him and then lets him be him. She kept me updated with pics and texts and I knew exactly how he was doing during his stay. If Zeus could speak human I know that he would tell me that he had lots of fun and loves Laura. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Laura will be able to host my lil Zeusie anytime he needs a vacay. I can’t thank her enough and truly appreciate her knowledge, understanding, and care she gives.”
“Melissa and her family were nothing short of amazing, kind and understanding. They sent me videos and photos without asking and are very prompt at responding. They offer many other services as well and professional dog trainers. Ive had some bad experiences but felt very comfortable with leaving my boys with them. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a dog sitter, training or any other services as they are so patient and knowledgeable. Will be using them again. Thank you so much~”
“Bill took great care of Winnie while we were out of town for the weekend! He is an attentive and caring sitter. When we picked Winnie up she was happy and well cared for.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tiffany & her husband. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby felt safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. Not only did they follow every instruction perfectly, but they also took extra time to give my pup walks, pool-time , and plenty of affection. Thank you again! 🐶 🐾”
“As always, Melissa and Alexis are my go to for the care of Desmond? They are fantastic! I trust them completely. They are Desmond's home away from home. Thank you so much.❤️”
“Elizabeth was kind and professional. She kept us updated on Akira's progress during the three days she had her via pictures and text messages. She provided a loving family environment for Akira.”
“This was first time in 20 years of having dogs that we boarded and couldn’t have been happier and confident to have found Carole through Rover. We went on a 7 day road trip and never worried or had doubts about leaving our German Shepard, Luna, with Carole. We pre-visited her ranch a few weeks prior and had a feeling and no hesitation after the visit that we had made the right choice. Though this was our first time boarding, and with Carole, we now can plan other extended trips and know we have a great place to bring Luna without worry or feeling guilty for leaving her.”
“Our experience with Stacey was amazing. She is so kind to both humans and dogs, as well as she is experienced, patient, understanding, and reassuring. She frequently updated us and sent us photos, which we appreciated. We felt a strong sense of comfort knowing our precious Goldie was under such competent and compassionate care. Everything went so smoothly, and we are very happy. Thank you so much, Stacey! We are beyond grateful.”
“From the moment we saw Tania, I was nervous that Micky wouldn't want to come back home. He adored her, and she made him comfortable. I was scheduled for surgery, so I wasn't sure how long the stay would be. Tania left the time open which was less stressful for me. Tania stayed in touch with us the entire time. I would absolutely request her again.”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”
“Nicole is beyond incredible. She is so loving with Ollie and I felt so, so comfortable leaving him with her for a week! He was taken such great care of and I'm so grateful! Thanks again!!”
“Nicole went above and beyond with our new dog Charlie (Chuck the Duck). She sent pictures everyday and let us know how he was doing. Took him on walks and made sure he was comfortable in their home. She even helped him out when he had tummy issues by giving him pumpkin! I can’t recommend her enough. We will most definitely be using her again. I’m pretty sure Charlie was upset he had to come home. I mean, I would be.”
“Yelda has been amazing with Nami! She’s very caring, reliable, and I always feel at ease knowing Nami is in good hands with her. She takes such great care of her and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend Yelda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ❤️”
“A very nice family who took great care of our two pups. They sent us lots of photos, and the dogs looked very happy in all of them. I think they were even a little sad to leave 😆 Will board with them again in the future!”
