“Shayla is our only go to Rover mom. My little dogs don’t work best in a kennel so I utilize Rover for them. They absolutely love coming to Shayla’s house. She has taught them to be comfortable around other dogs and has spoiled them as if they were her own! Best sitter on Rover!!”
“Maria and her family loved my dog, Poppi, like their own! She was able to watch her last minute for me and was very responsive and friendly. She sent the cutest updates and Poppi was sad to leave! Will definitely be using Maria again soon ❤️🐶”
“Brydget and her family are great. I’m so glad we found them when we first moved to the area, and we have not used anyone else. They take such great care of our pup and genuinely love him as if he was their own; I consider them his adoptive family.”
“Probably one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! So attentive and amazing with my Dobbs! Did daily check ins with pictures and just overall amazing job! When I came to pick him up he looked like he was in heaven! I 100% recommend her to anyone! Property is pretty and spacious with place to play that’s safe!”
“Jupiter really enjoyed her time with Taylor! I was a little nervous since it was my first time using Rover but Taylor updated me every morning on how she was doing. Our dogs got along perfectly & I will say I do plan on booking with Taylor again in the future!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I provide patient, loving, and personalized care for each one. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners for puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and support. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I have open availability and work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a large, fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed for puppies or senior dogs. Here's a warm, professional response that's well suited for a Rover profile: Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while making sure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a large, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. Since I work from home, they're rarely left alone and receive frequent potty breaks, companionship, and lots of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any training routines. I also make sure your home is respected and secure while keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Brandy is the best sitter we have had, she took súper good care of our Kiba, you can tell Kiba was very happy staying with her. During our time away Brandy keep us updated constantly of what our baby was doing with text and pictures which allow us to enjoy our time away knowing that she was having a good time as well. Thanks a lot Brandy you will be without a doubt our first option for boarding for future needs.”
“Mary and Nathan were great with our pups while we went away. They were well loved and our pups lived every min seeing the pictures we received. It made our hearts feel so much better knowing they were being loved whole we enjoyed some time away. Thank you again.”
“Tiffany is everything I wanted in a pet sitter. She listened to my concerns, responded when I checked in, she texted me with any questions and reassured me my baby was well. And sure enough, my baby was calm and is still calm - no anxiety at all! I'm so grateful! Definitely will be using Tiffany again and again.”
“Isabella has continuously been an amazing sitter for my 3 hyper pups. I never have to worry about them when she is taking care of them. She is also extremely sweet and understanding and adjusted the stay as needed twice due to unforseen issues on my end.”
“Renee took great care of our boy while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated with photos each day, and he clearly had plenty of playtime, as he went straight to sleep when we got home. Highly recommend l, and will definitely use again.”
About: Growing up we always had pets and now is no different with two fur babies of my own. I have a large patio with a doggie door to the large fenced in yard. I respect some dogs like to stay in the comfort zone of their own home so we can drive to feed, walk, and administer medications. Always feel free to message me with your questions. I’m available for weekend boarding for those who want to getaway for the weekend. I work full time during the week; so boarding during the week is possible; however, there would just be a little less play. I have a fenced yard and lots of toys. I also have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“I can’t recommend Maria high enough! We had such a difficult time finding a pet sitting solution for our dogs, I was running out of options. I decided to search again for a at-home pet sitter, and I’m so happy I found Maria. She’s loving, patient, and compassionate toward our furbabies! You can easily tell she loves what she does! And we could tell our dogs loved her!”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a heartbeat for me. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing adequate playtime and basic obedience reinforcement. With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a lifelong passion. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing structured play and basic obedience reinforcement. I have a massive, fenced yard where your pup can securely run, play fetch, and burn off energy safely throughout the day!! A typical day/schedule would flow similar to this: Mornings: * 7:00 AM: Morning potty break in the huge yard, followed by a fresh breakfast and water. * 8:00 AM: A brisk morning walk or active fetching session to burn off early energy before work starts. * 9:00 AM: As I log onto work, dogs settle into my office. They can snooze on a cozy dog bed right next to my desk or look out the window. Afternoon: Play Breaks and Stretch Time • 12:00 PM: Lunch break! We head out to the big yard for 30 minutes of supervised play, sniffing, and sunshine. Afternoons/Evenings: 3:00 PM: A quick stretch and potty break. If a puppy needs a strict schedule or a senior dog needs frequent relief, this is when they get extra attention. Evening: Wind Down with added Hugs/Cuddling/Loving up on them! • 5:00 PM: Workday ends. We celebrate with dinner and a long, relaxing evening walk around the neighborhood. • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Couch time. Dogs hang out with me in the living room for brushing, belly rubs, and plenty of love. • 10:30 PM: Final potty break in the fenced yard before a safe, peaceful bedtime. Daily sweeps of yard for any hazards; constant supervision, especially during yard times and feeding; transparency in meet ups, daily video or photo updates can be provided to help with any uneasiness or anxiety; leashes used during walks; this list is not all inclusive.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of cats ever since I was 16 years old. My parents and I had a cat adopt us when our oldest dog was sick. He showed up out of nowhere and became her best friend until she passed away. His name is Gizmo and is the sweetest old man. I love cats that love to cuddle and purr all day. I love naps and love napping with them.

Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
About: I’m a certified Vet assistant with hands on experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m skilled in safe handling, basic health monitoring, and providing calm loving care tailored to each cats needs!
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

About: After participating in numerous animal rescue missions during natural disasters, including hurricanes, my passion for animal welfare only grew stronger.

Caring for animals is not just my job, it’s my passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, respect, comfort, and plenty of love. My goal is for pet parents to feel completely at ease, knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I provide patient, loving, and personalized care for each one. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners for puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and support. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I have open availability and work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a large, fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed for puppies or senior dogs. Here's a warm, professional response that's well suited for a Rover profile: Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.

About: Growing up we always had pets and now is no different with two fur babies of my own. I have a large patio with a doggie door to the large fenced in yard. I respect some dogs like to stay in the comfort zone of their own home so we can drive to feed, walk, and administer medications. Always feel free to message me with your questions. I’m available for weekend boarding for those who want to getaway for the weekend. I work full time during the week; so boarding during the week is possible; however, there would just be a little less play. I have a fenced yard and lots of toys. I also have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs in our home. I have also had: ducks, guinea pigs, bunnies, snake, birds, bottle fed baby goats, hamsters, etc, just to name a few. I love horses and cows and have spent time during the summers on a farm. All of my house pets growing up were my sole responsibility. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for the last four years. I have online classes and a part time job. But my pets are one of my main priorities. I have multiple times during the day to walk dogs and let pets out for potty breaks. And I’m very good at managing my time. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own. They will receive my love and care. And I’m very patient with pets when needed.
